This recently renovated two-bedroom penthouse is located in the established El Paraiso urbanisation on the Costa del Sol, west of Estepona. The property measures 58 m² of living space, has two bathrooms, a private terrace and views over the communal pool. It is sold fully furnished and holds a tourist rental licence. The asking price is fixed at €425,000. The complex is gated, with landscaped communal gardens, a large pool and communal parking. El Campanario Golf Course lies 0.3 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, is 1.3 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Paraiso is a residential urbanisation between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcantara, set slightly inland from the coast road. The nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with a flat gradient of 1.4%. Three golf courses sit within 1.1 km in a straight line. Marbella is 14 km away and Estepona roughly a 15-minute drive.
The apartment is designed for low-maintenance living: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, air conditioning, fitted wardrobes and a fully fitted kitchen within a compact 58 m² floor plan. The private terrace faces west, giving afternoon and evening sun. Communal facilities include a large pool, gardens and parking, so outdoor space is enjoyed without private upkeep obligations.
This is not a new-build project. The property was completed in 1998 and has since been renovated, and it is key-ready for immediate occupation. The tourist rental licence is already in place. Any dates related to purchase completion and handover are indicative and depend on the sales process.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garden or private parking space; all of these are communal. Living space is 58 m², which limits layout flexibility compared with larger apartments. The building dates from 1998, so construction and installations reflect that period, renovated internally. There is no lift, sea view or private garage stated in the available data.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home on the Costa del Sol will find the 58 m² layout easy to maintain, with the communal pool and gardens removing gardening and pool upkeep entirely. Buyers focused on rental income can act on the existing tourist rental licence; the location near three golf courses and 1.3 km from the beach supports year-round letting potential, particularly outside the summer season. Golfers get El Campanario 0.3 km away and El Paraiso Golf Club 1.0 km away in a straight line, effectively walking or short-drive access. Owners planning seasonal or permanent relocation benefit from the nearby services: supermarkets-scale amenities within 2 km, an international school at 0.8 km and health centres in the area. It suits buyers who accept compact dimensions in exchange for a renovated interior, furnished handover and a gated setting. It fits less well for households needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a private garage, since none of these are part of the offering. Buyers comparing new-build alternatives should note the 1998 construction year and weigh that against the lower entry price of new developments such as Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000).
The interior has been recently renovated and is presented in move-in condition. The kitchen is fully fitted, the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the property comes fully furnished, meaning the purchase price includes the furniture shown in the listing. Air conditioning provides climate control during the warm months, a practical necessity given average summer temperatures around 26°C. The private terrace extends the living space outdoors and faces west, which on this coast means the sun arrives from early afternoon through to sunset. As a penthouse, the unit sits at the top of its building, which typically means fewer overhead neighbours and more light. The building itself dates from 1998, so the structural envelope, window frames and communal installations reflect that construction period unless the renovation addressed them; the available data does not specify the scope of the works beyond
The asking price is fixed at €425,000 for the property as it stands, including the full furniture package. This is an existing home from 1998, fully renovated, not a new-build with a price list. The price reflects a furnished, licence-holding penthouse in an established golf-side urbanisation. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, which typically add roughly 10-13% to the purchase price. Annual costs such as community fees and IBI are not stated in the available data and should be requested before any commitment.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around a compact, recently updated interior and a well-kept communal setting. The west-facing terrace catches afternoon and evening sun, which suits late lunches outside and sunset dinners during the long warm season. Inside, the two bedrooms and two bathrooms make the home workable for a couple, a small family or two couples sharing a holiday stay. The living area connects to the dining space and fitted kitchen, with the whole floor plan covering 58 m², so rooms are functional rather than spacious. The urbanisation itself is quiet and landscaped, with a large communal pool as the social centre during summer months. Because the complex is gated, the setting stays calm year-round, including outside the holiday season. Practical needs are covered within a short radius: the area within 2 km contains 31 restaurants, 6 cafes, 4 pharmacies, 3 banks and a dentist. The International School of Estepona lies 0.8 km away in a straight line, and there are two health centres in the wider area. A car is the practical choice for most trips, beaches, Puerto Banus (a 15-minute drive), Marbella and Estepona are all reached by road, although the wider area counts 50 public transport stops across 6 lines. The tourist rental licence adds a second use: owners who do not occupy the home year-round can let it out under the existing permit.
El Paraiso sits in the corridor between Estepona and Marbella, one of the most service-dense stretches of the western Costa del Sol. Within 2 km of the property, residents can reach 31 restaurants, 6 cafes, 4 pharmacies, 3 banks and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without longer journeys. Education is well represented: 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools serve the wider area, and The International School of Estepona lies just 0.8 km away in a straight line. Healthcare is provided through two health centres in the region. For sport, RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club is 0.9 km away. The urbanisation itself is described as quiet and landscaped, and the gated entrance limits through-traffic. Distances stated are straight-line; actual road routes are longer. Public transport exists, 6 lines and 50 stops in the area, but the practical pattern for most residents is car-based, with communal parking available on site.
The map shows the property's position in El Paraiso, immediately west of Estepona on the Costa del Sol. Note the cluster of golf courses within 1 km and the beach strip 1.3 km to the south, with Marbella 14 km east along the coast. Distances shown are straight-line measurements.

El Paraiso occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol: 14 km from Marbella, close to Estepona, and about an hour by road from Malaga airport. The area is characterised by golf-led residential urbanisations rather than high-rise resort density, giving it a quieter profile than Banus or central Marbella while keeping those centres within a short drive. The local housing market records around 3,163 transactions per year, indicating steady turnover and liquidity in the corridor between Estepona and San Pedro.
The nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies on a flat 1.4% gradient; Salduna (1.4 km) and Playa Atalaya (1.7 km) offer alternatives. Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus marina is 6.6 km away in a straight line, roughly a 15-minute drive according to the seller. Marbella lies 14 km to the east and Estepona around a 10-15 minute drive west, giving access to two full-sized towns within 20 minutes by car. Airports: Gibraltar (GIB) is approximately 46 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) approximately 52 km, both in a straight line; road travel times are longer. Electric-vehicle drivers can use the Supercharger in Estepona at 3.8 km. Golf access is unusually close: El Campanario at 0.3 km and El Paraiso Golf Club at 1.0 km in a straight line.

The location sits at 25 m above sea level with a flat approach to the coast, so no notable hills separate the property from the beach. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C, roughly May through September. This pattern supports year-round residence as well as seasonal visits: winters are mild enough for outdoor living most days, while summer heat is managed by air conditioning indoors. For nature, the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos viewpoint (4.4 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.9 km) provide walking and scenery options in the nearby hills.

Three beaches lie within 1.7 km in a straight line: Playa Isdabe (1.3 km), Salduna (1.4 km) and Playa Atalaya (1.7 km). Golf is the strongest recreational feature of this location, El Campanario Golf Course at 0.3 km, El Paraiso Golf Club at 1.0 km and its clubhouse at 1.1 km effectively surround the urbanisation. Padel and tennis players can use RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km. For waterside leisure beyond the beach, Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus (6.6 km) offers marina facilities, dining and shopping. The tourism infrastructure in the area, 24 hotels with nearly 6,900 beds, indicates a well-developed service economy that keeps restaurants and amenities open beyond the summer peak, which matters for owners present in shoulder seasons.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this penthouse competes on condition and licence rather than size. New-build alternatives in the comparable set start lower: Aquamar in Torre del Mar lists from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those projects offer new construction, typically with modern energy performance and developer payment structures, but they are off-plan or under construction, with delivery dates that remain indicative. This El Paraiso property takes the opposite position: an existing 1998 building, renovated and available immediately, with furniture included and a rental licence already granted. Locationally, El Paraiso differs from Torre del Mar and Mijas by sitting in the established golf corridor between Estepona and Marbella, where land values and service density are higher. The 14 km distance to Marbella and proximity to Puerto Banus place it in the western Costa del Sol's premium zone, which supports both seasonal letting and resale demand. Buyers weighing the options effectively trade off new-build specifications against immediate availability, licence status and a furnished handover at a fixed price. The 58 m² living area is smaller than what most new-build comparables offer at similar or lower entry prices, which is the main quantitative trade-off. Local market activity, roughly 3,163 transactions per year in the area, suggests reasonable liquidity for resale, while the median provincial income of €16,450 underlines that this segment is driven substantially by international buyers rather than the domestic market.
