A detached villa of 552 m² on a 1,005 m² plot situated in a frontline beach position on the New Golden Mile, Playa del Saladillo, west of Marbella. The property offers five bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, sea views, a private pool, a roof terrace with jacuzzi, and a basement spa with heated indoor pool and sauna. The asking price is fixed at €5,750,000. The house was originally built in 1970, has since been renovated, and is available key-ready. San Pedro de Alcántara is a 7-minute drive away and Puerto Banús roughly 10 minutes by car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands directly on the beachfront at Playa del Saladillo, part of the New Golden Mile between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. Direct access to the beach is possible from the front garden. Distances by car: San Pedro approximately 7 minutes, Puerto Banús approximately 10 minutes. The setting combines wide sandy beaches and dunes with proximity to established beach clubs and restaurants.
The property functions as a five-bedroom family home with five bathrooms, all en-suite. Living space totals 552 m² across multiple levels: an open-plan ground floor, a roof terrace with several lounge areas and a jacuzzi, and a basement level with a spa containing a heated indoor pool and sauna. A private garden with swimming pool, private parking and 24-hour security are included.
This is an existing home, not a new-build development. The original structure dates from 1970 and has been recently renovated; the property is described as being in excellent condition and is delivered key-ready. The asking price of €5,750,000 is a fixed price for this specific villa, not a starting price within a wider price list. Completion dates for existing homes are indicative.
The property does not offer communal facilities such as a shared pool or residents' gym; wellness amenities are private within the villa. With construction dating from 1970, the technical infrastructure is that of a renovated older building rather than a newly developed one. No information is available regarding energy performance figures, storage rooms beyond the basement level, or lift access between floors. The property is sold as a single existing residence.
This property fits a buyer seeking a detached, fully renovated home in a frontline beach position, delivered ready for immediate occupation rather than requiring renovation work or a construction waiting period. The five en-suite bedrooms make it suitable for larger households or families who regularly receive guests. The basement spa and roof terrace suit owners who prioritise private leisure facilities over communal amenities. The location on the New Golden Mile suits buyers who want beach access on foot, beach clubs and chiringuitos within walking distance, and the retail and marina life of San Pedro and Puerto Banús within a 7 to 10-minute drive. A car is practical for daily errands, as the immediate area is oriented towards beach tourism rather than full-service urban infrastructure. Buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave apartment within a managed community, or those with a budget anchored to apartment price levels, are less well served by this property, which is a single detached residence with a fixed price of €5,750,000. It also suits those who value privacy and 24-hour security, and who view a 1970 building stock, subsequently renovated, as acceptable in exchange for an established frontline plot, something rarely available in new-build form on this stretch of coast.
The villa is described as recently renovated and in excellent condition, delivered key-ready. The interior photographs show a contemporary open-plan layout: a dining room with ocean view, a living room with large-format glazing framing the sea, and modern bathrooms with fitted mirrors and finishes. Floor-to-ceiling terraces run along the main living level, allowing substantial natural light. The material specification indicated by the listing includes high-quality contemporary finishes throughout. Beyond the main residence, the property contains several technically distinctive elements: a roof terrace equipped with multiple lounge areas and a jacuzzi, and a basement spa with a heated indoor swimming pool and sauna, which requires dedicated climate and water installations. The building envelope dates originally from 1970; as a renovated structure, its construction differs from current new-build standards, and buyers assessing long-term maintenance typically commission a technical survey to verify installations, insulation and building services. The property is south-facing, which maximises exposure to direct sunlight on terraces and the pool area. Private parking is included, and the estate operates with 24-hour security. Specific technical data such as insulation values, heating systems beyond the spa installation, and electrical capacity are not stated in the available documentation and would need to be confirmed during a viewing or through the due diligence process.
The asking price is €5,750,000, fixed for this specific villa and not presented as a starting price. The property is available immediately on a key-ready basis, having been recently renovated. The price reflects the villa's characteristics: 552 m² of living space, a 1,005 m² plot, a frontline beach position with direct beach access, five en-suite bedrooms, a private pool, a spa level and a roof terrace with sea views. Comparable new-build developments elsewhere on the coast start at considerably lower figures, from roughly €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, but those projects concern apartments in non-frontline locations rather than a detached beachfront villa.
Daily life at this villa is organised around its frontline beach position. The front garden gives direct access to the sand of Playa del Saladillo, which means the sea functions almost as an extension of the private outdoor space. The private pool and expansive garden provide room for outdoor living, while the roof terrace serves as an upper-level entertainment area with panoramic Mediterranean views, multiple lounge zones and a jacuzzi. Inside, the layout is open-plan on the main floor, with floor-to-ceiling glazing on the terraces allowing daylight deep into the living spaces. All five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, which suits households that regularly host guests or extended family. The basement spa, with its heated indoor pool and sauna, extends usable space beyond the warmer months. The surrounding neighbourhood offers beach restaurants within walking distance, including Pepe's beach chiringuito and the Anantara (Villa Padierna) Beach Club roughly a 5-minute walk away. For routine errands and services, San Pedro de Alcántara is a 7-minute drive, while Puerto Banús lies about 10 minutes away by car, giving access to marinas, retail and nightlife. The result is a residence where the beach, private wellness and outdoor living are central, with urban amenities a short drive rather than a walk away.
The immediate surroundings are defined by Playa del Saladillo: wide beaches backed by sand dunes, with beachfront dining within short walking distance. Pepe's beach chiringuito and La Antigua are close by, and the Anantara (Villa Padierna) Beach Club is roughly a 5-minute walk from the property. This makes the day-to-day rhythm of the area strongly coastal: walks on the promenade, beach visits and seaside meals are all reachable on foot. For wider services, the registered area data lists a dense amenity base within 2 km, including 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 cafés, alongside 19 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and 2 health centres, indicating that family and medical infrastructure is present in the broader district. Public transport in the wider area covers 4 lines with 22 stops, and railway stations at Los Prados (0.8 km straight-line) and Guadalhorce (1.6 km straight-line) provide rail connections. Sports facilities nearby include football grounds and petanque courts within about 1 km (straight-line). The area records roughly 3,163 housing transactions per year and a tourism base of 24 hotels with nearly 6,900 beds, reflecting an active but seasonal coastal economy. In practice, a car remains the most practical mode for shopping and commuting, while beach life is entirely walkable.
The map shows the villa's frontline position at Playa del Saladillo on the New Golden Mile, west of Marbella. Direct beach access, nearby chiringuitos and beach clubs, and driving times of 7 minutes to San Pedro and 10 minutes to Puerto Banús place the property within the western Costa del Sol's core amenity zone.

The New Golden Mile is the coastal stretch between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, west of Marbella, known for its beachfront resorts, beach clubs and a lower building density than the Marbella and Puerto Banús core. Within this corridor, Playa del Saladillo occupies a position close to the eastern end, roughly 7 minutes by car from San Pedro and 10 minutes from Puerto Banús, which places the villa within easy reach of the region's most established retail and marina infrastructure while retaining a quieter beach setting. Compared with the Costa del Sol as a whole, the location combines direct shoreline access with proximity to both Marbella's urban coast and Estepona's expanding residential market.
The villa's position offers direct beach access from the garden, with the nearest registered beach, Playa de la Misericordia, 3.0 km away as the crow flies; actual road distances can be longer. By car, San Pedro de Alcántara is reached in about 7 minutes and Puerto Banús in roughly 10 minutes, providing marinas, shopping and dining. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 4 km straight-line in the wider area data, while Gibraltar Airport is around 100 km straight-line, road travel times to both will exceed the direct distance. Golf is well covered: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (5.2 km straight-line), Club de Golf Málaga Parador (5.4 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (7.8 km) are the registered courses in the dataset. Marina access is available at IGY Málaga Marina (5.2 km straight-line) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (5.3 km). Electric-vehicle charging points sit within 1.6 to 3.9 km straight-line, including locations at hotels along the main coastal corridor. Public transport covers 4 lines and 22 stops, with railway stations at 0.8 and 1.6 km straight-line, giving the area a public transport option alongside car travel. All distances stated are straight-line unless explicitly described as driving times.

The area sits at a low elevation of 37 metres above sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is a flat 1.1%, meaning the terrain between the villa and the shoreline involves no significant climbing. The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 27°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.7°C, a typical Mediterranean pattern of mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about 4 months per year, concentrating beach use in the late spring to early autumn period; the villa's heated indoor pool in the basement spa extends swimming beyond this window. Observation points in the surrounding area, such as Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km straight-line) and a seabird observatory at 4.5 km, indicate accessible natural viewpoints within a short drive. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, as is usual along the Andalusian coast. For residents, the practical effect is a climate that supports outdoor use of the terraces, pool and beach for most of the year, with flat terrain that makes walking to the shore effortless.

The recreational offer centres on the coastline. Playa del Saladillo, directly adjacent to the property, is known for its width and natural sand dunes, and beachfront restaurants such as Pepe's chiringuito and La Antigua are within short walking distance, with the Anantara Beach Club about 5 minutes away on foot. The registered dataset lists several beaches within 3.0 to 3.5 km straight-line, including Playa Sacaba and Playa de San Andrés, giving alternatives within a few minutes' drive. Water sports are facilitated by the direct beach access from the garden, a practical feature mentioned in the property's own listing. For golfers, three courses lie between 5.2 and 7.8 km straight-line: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, Club de Golf Málaga Parador and the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course. Marina facilities at IGY Málaga Marina (5.2 km straight-line) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (5.3 km) support sailing and boating. Local sports infrastructure includes football pitches at 0.6 and 1.1 km straight-line and petanque courts nearby. Within 2 km, the amenity data counts 23 restaurants and 4 cafés, underlining a hospitality-oriented recreational environment. All distances are straight-line unless a travel time is explicitly given.

Within the western Costa del Sol, the New Golden Mile occupies the segment between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, and it competes primarily with Marbella's Golden Mile, the Benahavís area and Estepona itself. The villa's distinguishing feature is its frontline plot with direct beach access, a position that new-build development can rarely replicate, since most remaining beachfront land along this corridor is either built out or protected by dune zoning. Against comparable new-build projects, the price level differs by an order of magnitude: 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, but these are apartment developments set back from the shore, targeting a different buyer profile. A €5,750,000 fixed asking price places this villa in the upper segment of the regional market, where value rests on land position, sea frontage and finished, immediately usable living space rather than on off-plan entry pricing. Locationally, the villa's 7-minute drive to San Pedro and 10-minute drive to Puerto Banús mirror the access enjoyed by Golden Mile properties further east, while the immediate Saladillo setting is quieter and more beach-oriented. Buyers weighing alternatives will typically compare this property against renovated frontline villas in Estepona and beachfront apartments in established resort complexes; the trade-off is between a 1970 building stock, since renovated, and the modern technical standards of new construction, balanced against a plot and shoreline position that new-build projects in the comparable list do not offer. The area's transaction volume of roughly 3,163 sales per year indicates an active resale market, relevant for eventual liquidity considerations.
