This detached villa is situated in Guadalmina Baja, an established residential area west of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms across 280 m² of built space on a 1,100 m² private plot, with a private pool, south orientation and underground garage parking. Completed in 1999, the villa is currently listed in a condition requiring renovation. The location sits within walking distance of daily amenities, with supermarkets approximately 200 m away and beaches around 1.7 km from the property.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Baja lies between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, roughly 9 km from central Marbella. The area combines residential calm with practical access: a supermarket within 200 m, a pharmacy under 150 m, and three golf courses within 3 km. The beach is approximately 1.7 km away over flat terrain, and 8 public transport lines serve the wider area with around 50 stops.
The property functions as a family-scale villa with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private garden of 1,100 m² and a private pool. A 30 m² terrace with south orientation and air conditioning support outdoor living. The house is sold fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen. Underground garage parking is included. The layout suits both permanent residence and extended seasonal use.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1999 and is listed in a condition requiring renovation. Features visible in the listing imagery include marble stairs with wrought-iron railing and traditional terracotta roof tiles. Buyers should budget for modernisation works; installation dates for the air conditioning and kitchen are not specified. No energy performance certificate details are provided in the available data.
The property requires renovation, which affects immediate move-in readiness and total acquisition cost. Views are limited to garden and street, with no sea or mountain views listed. The built area of 280 m² is distributed over a plot that also contains the pool and garden. No information is available on community facilities, energy rating, or the scope of renovation needed beyond the listed condition.
This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. First, buyers seeking an established villa address between Marbella and Estepona who accept a renovation project in exchange for plot size and location; the 1,100 m² plot with private pool is a fixed asset that renovation cannot replicate elsewhere at this price point. Second, families needing four bedrooms and four bathrooms with schooling within reach, the International School of Estepona at 3.1 km and the British International School at 8.6 km make daily school runs feasible. Third, buyers prioritising walkable daily amenities: with a supermarket at 200 m, a pharmacy at 146 m and flat terrain to the beach, the property suits households wanting to reduce car dependence, which is uncommon for villa districts. Fourth, golf-oriented buyers have three courses within 3 km. The property fits less well for buyers wanting a turnkey home, sea views or a modern energy-efficient build, since the condition is listed as requiring renovation, views are limited to garden and street, and the construction dates from 1999. Buyers seeking new-build finishes without works should consider alternative developments instead.
The villa was completed in 1999 and its current condition is explicitly listed as requiring renovation. From the listing imagery, the interior includes marble stairs with a wrought-iron railing, bedrooms with conventional furnishing, and a balcony overlooking trees with terracotta roof tiles, materials typical of late-1990s villa construction on the western Costa del Sol. The property is sold fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen, though the age and specification of the kitchen installations are not documented. Climate control consists of air conditioning; no central heating, underfloor heating or solar thermal installation is mentioned in the available data, and no energy performance certificate rating is provided. Parking is covered through both underground parking and a garage. The south orientation supports passive heat gain in winter, and the 30 m² terrace extends usable living space outward. Given the renovation requirement, buyers should treat the current finish level as a starting point rather than an end state: the structural envelope, plot and layout carry the value, while kitchens, bathrooms, glazing and building services will need assessment and likely replacement. A technical survey is a standard step for properties of this age, particularly regarding electrical installations, insulation standards predating current regulations, and pool equipment. The combination of a 1999 build and undocumented energy data means running costs after renovation will depend heavily on the choices made during modernisation.
The asking price is €1,895,000 for a completed, resale detached villa. This positions the property in the upper segment of the western Marbella market. The price reflects the plot size, four-bedroom layout and established Guadalmina Baja address, but the renovation requirement means the total investment will exceed the purchase price alone. For context, new-build apartment projects in the wider region, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), operate in a different product category and price bracket. Comparable villa stock in Guadalmina Baja competes primarily on plot, orientation and condition.
Guadalmina Baja is a low-rise residential district characterised by villas, gardens and proximity to golf infrastructure. Daily life here is oriented around the house and garden rather than high-density apartment living. The plot of 1,100 m² accommodates a private pool, garden and the 280 m² residence, with a 30 m² south-facing terrace where sun exposure is longest during the day. The immediate surroundings are flat, with a slope to the beach of only 0.2%, meaning walking and cycling are practical for most errands. A supermarket sits within 200 m and a pharmacy within 150 m, which reduces dependence on the car for routine shopping. The area records 69 restaurants within a 2 km radius, alongside 10 cafés and 4 banks, giving residents a broad but low-key commercial offer. The rhythm of the district is residential rather than touristic, although Puerto Banús and its marina lie roughly 4.4 km away for evening and leisure visits. With an average annual temperature of 19.3°C and approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year, outdoor use of the pool and terrace extends well beyond the summer months. Public transport is available through 8 lines and around 50 stops, which is notable for a villa district of this type. The villa's condition requires renovation, so the daily rhythm in the first period of ownership will likely include building works before the property reaches its intended standard. For households combining school-age children with golf or beach use, the International School of Estepona at 3.1 km and the British International School at 8.6 km fall within realistic daily commuting distance.
The immediate environment of Guadalmina Baja is residential and flat, at roughly 9–16 m above sea level. Daily infrastructure is dense for a villa area: within a 2 km radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, while the nearest supermarket and pharmacy lie within a two-minute walk at 200 m and 146 m respectively. Healthcare access includes a hospital at 3.1 km. Sports facilities are close at hand, with the Apolo sports centre at 0.8 km and the Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.5 km, plus a climbing facility (Rocodromo) at 1.6 km. Transport is supported by 8 public lines and around 50 stops. The slope to the beach measures 0.2%, effectively flat, so the 1.7–1.8 km distance to Playa de San Pedro, Playa Atalaya and Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is walkable or cyclable. EV charging points are available from approximately 1.5 km. The district sits 9 km from Marbella, so urban services, culture and the marina of Puerto Banús (4.4 km) are reachable without living in the busiest zones.
The map shows the villa's position in Guadalmina Baja, between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona on the western Costa del Sol. Note the cluster of golf courses to the north and west, the beaches under 2 km south, and Puerto Banús 4.4 km east. Marbella, Málaga airport and Gibraltar are all marked for orientation.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Guadalmina Baja occupies the coastal strip between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, 9 km west of Marbella (population 147,958). This positions the property in the established 'New Golden Mile' villa belt, closer to Marbella's services than to Estepona's, yet outside the high-traffic zones around Puerto Banús. Málaga (579,076 inhabitants) lies 57 km east; Algeciras 57 km west. The district's identity is defined by golf courses, low-rise villas and proximity to the sea rather than by resort density.
Beaches lie at approximately 1.7–1.8 km (Playa de San Pedro, Playa Atalaya, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar) over flat terrain. Golf courses are clustered nearby: El Campanario at 1.8 km, El Higueral at 2.5 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at 2.8–3.0 km. Marbella centre is 9 km away; Estepona lies further west along the coast. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is roughly 46–47 km by straight line, with Gibraltar Airport (GIB) an alternative at approximately 52 km, unusual for the region, as most locations only have one practical airport option. Marinas at Puerto Banús are 4.4–4.5 km away. A supermarket at 200 m, pharmacy at 146 m, hospital at 3.1 km and schools at 3.1 and 8.6 km complete the daily accessibility picture.

The climate data points to one of the most reliable outdoor-living profiles in southern Europe. Historical sunshine hours total approximately 3,856 per year, and the average annual temperature is 19.3°C within a band of 12–26°C. The swimming season, periods with sea temperatures of at least 20°C, lasts around six months, which aligns with the usability of the private pool from late spring into autumn. The site is low-lying at 9–16 m above sea level with a slope to the beach of 0.2%, meaning no stair-climbing or steep access routes between the house and the coast. Winters are mild by northern European standards, though the 12°C average low means the air conditioning will likely need supplementing with heating in the coolest months, a factor worth addressing in the planned renovation. The garden and street views, combined with mature trees visible from the balcony, indicate an established planting profile typical of the area's villa plots.

Three beaches sit within roughly 1.7–1.8 km: Playa de San Pedro, Playa Atalaya and Playa Isdabe, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, a designated dog beach, the closest at 1.8 km. The flat approach makes these reachable on foot or by bicycle. Golf forms the second recreational pillar, with El Campanario (1.8 km), El Higueral (2.5 km) and El Paraíso Golf Club (2.8–3.0 km) all within a short drive. For water-based leisure, Puerto Banús Marina and Puerto Deportivo José Banus are 4.4–4.5 km away. Land sports are covered by the Apolo sports centre (0.8 km), Polideportivo San Pedro (1.5 km) and a climbing facility at 1.6 km. The density of restaurants, 69 within 2 km, supports an established dining scene without depending on Marbella centre.

Within the western Costa del Sol, Guadalmina Baja belongs to the established villa segment between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, an area commonly grouped with the New Golden Mile. The listing price of €1,895,000 reflects this positioning: it competes with resale villas in El Paraíso, Atalaya and the Guadalmina districts on the basis of plot size, orientation and condition, rather than with new-build apartment stock. The named comparable projects, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), are apartment developments in different submarkets east and west of Málaga and serve a different buyer profile; they are useful mainly as a price-floor reference for the wider coast. What distinguishes this location is the combination of villa-scale plots with walkable daily amenities: a supermarket at 200 m and pharmacy at 146 m are unusual for a villa district where car dependency is the norm. The flat 1.7 km connection to three beaches and three golf courses within 3 km adds recreational density that new-build apartment zones further inland cannot match. Against Marbella centre (9 km), Guadalmina Baja trades nightlife and beachfront buzz for residential quiet, while remaining within a short drive of Puerto Banús. For buyers comparing against modern new-build villas elsewhere on the coast, the trade-off here is clear: an established plot and mature setting versus a documented renovation requirement and the absence of contemporary energy-efficiency specifications. The dual-airport access, Málaga at roughly 46 km and Gibraltar at 52 km straight-line, is a logistical advantage shared by few locations in the region and relevant for international owners.
