A key-ready, two-bedroom ground floor apartment of 138 m² with a fixed asking price of €850,000, situated in a beachfront urbanisation on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and San Pedro Alcántara. Completed in 2001, the property is sold fully furnished and includes an underground parking space and a storage room. The complex offers two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, sauna, gym, tropical gardens and 24-hour security. The apartment has marble floors, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning throughout and a large terrace with sea views.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in a front-line beach complex with direct beach access, roughly five minutes by car from Estepona town and San Pedro Alcántara, and around ten minutes from Puerto Banús. The surrounding area contains golf courses, international schools, supermarkets and hotels. Restaurants and daily amenities are within walking distance, which reduces dependence on the car for routine errands.
With two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 138 m², the layout suits a couple, a small family or use as a second home. The master bedroom has a dressing area and ensuite bathroom; the guest bedroom has its own terrace. The main terrace with sea views and the private garden extend the living space outdoors for most of the year given the regional climate.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2001 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. It is offered fully furnished, with hot and cold air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and an underground parking space and storage room included in the price. Delivery timing is therefore a matter of the purchase process rather than construction.
The property offers two bedrooms and 138 m² of living area, which is modest relative to its price segment; larger families may find the space limiting. It is a ground floor unit, so it lacks elevated panoramic views. Information on community fees, annual taxes and plot size is not provided in the available data. Buyers should verify these recurring costs independently before committing.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal home with direct beach access and no renovation work will find the turnkey condition and included furniture relevant, since it removes both cost and coordination after purchase. Buyers who want year-round swimming rather than a summer-only property may value the heated indoor pool, which extends use through the cooler months when sea temperatures fall below 20°C. Second-home owners who travel frequently may consider the 24-hour security, underground parking and storage room practical for periods of absence. The two-bedroom layout suits small households; a family needing three or more bedrooms, or buyers wanting elevated panoramic views from a higher floor, will likely look elsewhere in this price segment. The walking-distance amenities suit buyers who prefer not to use a car daily, though the distance to Málaga city means a car remains useful for wider exploration. Investors should note the strong tourism infrastructure nearby, 24 hotels and almost 6,900 beds within the area, which supports seasonal rental demand, subject to local regulations and community rules that must be verified. Finally, buyers comparing against new-build alternatives should weigh the 2001 construction date against the completed, immediately available status: no delivery risk, but also none of the specifications of a current new-build project.
The apartment was completed in 2001 and is described as being in excellent condition. The flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of that construction period on the Costa del Sol, durable and cool underfoot in summer. The bathrooms have underfloor heating, which addresses one of the common comfort complaints in southern Spanish homes during the winter months. Hot and cold air conditioning is installed throughout the apartment, providing active climate control in both seasons. The kitchen is fully fitted, with light wood cabinets and granite worktops, and a separate utility room functions as a butler's kitchen, a practical separation for a property intended for extended stays or entertaining. The finishes visible in the property documentation, wooden dining furniture, granite surfaces, a laundry room with its own worktop and window, point to a conventional, maintained standard rather than a recently refurbished interior. Buyers with a preference for current design trends should expect to budget for cosmetic updates if desired. The technical package is completed by the communal infrastructure: a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym within the complex, plus 24-hour security and underground parking. As with any property of this age, a technical survey is advisable to confirm the condition of installations such as plumbing, electrics and the air conditioning system, since these are not detailed in the available data.
The apartment has a fixed asking price of €850,000, sold fully furnished, with an underground parking space and a storage room included. This is an existing, completed property from 2001, so there is no construction-linked payment schedule and no waiting period beyond the standard purchase process. At this price point, the offer reflects the front-line beach position, the communal facilities and the turnkey condition. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start considerably lower, for example Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those projects are not beachfront and do not include the same amenity package. Buyers should budget separately for community fees, IBI and transfer costs, none of which are specified in the available data.
Daily life here is organised around the beach and the complex itself. Morning routines can start on the east- to south-facing terrace, which receives sun from early in the day, with sea views across the front line. Because the complex has direct beach access, an evening walk along the shore requires no car and no planning. Inside, the layout follows a conventional southern Spanish pattern: a hallway with the fitted kitchen and separate utility room, opening into a generously sized sitting and dining room that flows onto the main terrace and private garden. The master bedroom, with its dressing area and ensuite, also connects directly to the terrace, which means the principal rooms all relate to the outdoor space. The communal facilities, two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym, allow swimming year round, not only during the warm months. The heated indoor pool is a practical facility in winter, when sea temperatures drop below 20°C for roughly eight months of the year. Restaurants, cafés and supermarkets are within walking distance, so day-to-day provisioning does not require driving. For wider trips, Estepona and San Pedro Alcántara are about five minutes away by car and Puerto Banús around ten. The 24-hour security presence shapes how the urbanisation feels: controlled, low-traffic and oriented toward permanent and seasonal residents rather than passing tourism.
The immediate surroundings combine beachfront living with practical infrastructure. Within two kilometres, the area intelligence records 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 cafés, which covers daily needs without driving. Healthcare access includes two health centres nearby, and education options count 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area, relevant for families considering part-year or permanent residence. Public transport is available with four lines and 22 stops, and the nearest train stations are Los Prados at 0.8 km and Guadalhorce and Clínico each at 1.6 km straight-line. Beaches are close: Playa de la Misericordia at 3.0 km and Playa Sacaba at 3.4 km as the crow flies, though the apartment's own complex has direct beach access regardless. For sports, football pitches and a pétanque ground sit within about a kilometre. The terrain is essentially flat, a gradient of roughly 1.1% toward the coast at an elevation of 37 metres, which makes walking and cycling straightforward. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 4 km away in a straight line, meaning flight paths are part of the local soundscape; some residents will barely notice it, others should visit at different times of day to judge for themselves.

The New Golden Mile denotes the coastal stretch between San Pedro Alcántara and Estepona, west of Marbella, known for beachfront urbanisations and golf courses. This apartment sits in that corridor, positioned closer to the amenities of both towns than to either centre: about five minutes by car to Estepona and San Pedro Alcántara, ten to Puerto Banús. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the location combines western-Marbella lifestyle infrastructure with the accessibility of Málaga airport, roughly 4 km away in a straight line, an unusually short link between a resort-oriented coastline and an international hub. The area records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market.
Accessibility is one of the location's practical strengths. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is roughly 4 km away as the crow flies, an unusually short distance for coastal property, with actual road travel time correspondingly brief; the description cites about 34 minutes by car. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 100 km straight-line away, and Alicante-Elche around 387 km, for alternatives. By car, Estepona town and San Pedro Alcántara are about five minutes away and Puerto Banús about ten, which places the full retail, dining and marina offer of the western Costa del Sol within easy reach. The nearest golf courses, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 5.2 km and Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 5.4 km straight-line, are complemented by several more within roughly 8 km. Marinas at Málaga (IGY Málaga Marina at 5.2 km and the Real Club Mediterráneo marina at 5.3 km) serve boat owners. Public transport covers the area with four lines and 22 stops, so a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for local trips. All distances are straight-line unless stated otherwise; road distances are longer.

The climate data shows a monthly average temperature range of 12°C to 27°C, with an annual average of 18.7°C, a typical Mediterranean profile with mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, which is precisely why the complex's heated indoor pool is a functional feature rather than a luxury: it extends swimming to the remaining eight months. The elevation of 37 metres and the 1.1% gradient to the sea mean the terrain is flat throughout, with no steep walks between the apartment and the beach. Rainfall data is not specified, but the regional pattern concentrates precipitation outside the summer months. For nature interest, viewpoints such as Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km), the Observatorio de Aves Marinas seabird observatory (4.5 km) and Mirador de Churriana (4.8 km) are all within a short drive, offering walking and birdwatching options beyond the beach. The flat coastal strip and mild winter temperatures make outdoor activity feasible year round.

The apartment's most direct recreational asset is the beach itself, accessed directly from the complex without crossing public roads where described. Beyond the front line, the nearest recorded beaches include Playa de la Misericordia at 3.0 km, Playa Sacaba at 3.4 km and Playa de San Andrés at 3.5 km straight-line, giving several alternatives within minutes. Golf is well represented: six courses are noted in the immediate area, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 5.2 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 5.4 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 7.8 km as the crow flies. Water sports and horse riding are listed among local activities. Within the urbanisation, recreation is built in: two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym, set in tropical gardens with water features. The area's tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds, indicates a lively service economy with restaurants and leisure open through the season, while the 24-hour security and residential character of the complex itself buffer the holiday bustle. Sports facilities nearby include football pitches at 0.6 km and 1.1 km and a pétanque ground at 0.6 km.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this apartment competes on position rather than novelty. The €850,000 fixed asking price sits well above new-build entry prices elsewhere on the coast: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those projects offer modern specifications and developer payment structures, but they are not front-line beach properties and their communal facilities differ. What this apartment offers instead is immediacy and location: a completed, furnished home from 2001 with direct beach access, within a secured complex offering a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym, and roughly five minutes by car from both Estepona and San Pedro Alcántara. Buyers weighing new build against resale on the New Golden Mile are effectively trading current construction standards and warranty coverage for an established position that new projects on this stretch rarely replicate at any price. The wider market context matters too: the area records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating liquidity in the resale segment, and the tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds nearby, supports seasonal rental interest, subject to regulations. Set against Marbella and Puerto Banús, ten minutes away, the position is quieter and more residential, while Málaga airport, approximately 4 km away in a straight line, keeps the property unusually well connected for a resort coastline. The 2001 construction date is the main point of comparison: a technical survey and an allowance for potential updates are the standard diligence steps for this vintage of property in this segment.
