Pure Sun II is a residential development in La Duquesa, Málaga, offering contemporary apartments within walking distance of the Mediterranean coastline. The project consists of 90 m² two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments positioned in an established urban area with convenient access to local amenities. With a south-facing orientation and sea views, these properties feature private terraces, communal swimming pool, and underground parking. The development is located approximately 24 km from Málaga Airport and within close proximity to golf courses, beaches, and the Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina.
Pure Sun II in La Duquesa occupies a distinctive position in the western Costa del Sol market, offering a balance between established amenities and relative value. When compared to Alonia in La Duquesa (from €298,000), Pure Sun II is priced higher but includes additional features such as sea views and proximity to the marina. Against Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800), Pure Sun II is similarly priced but benefits from a slightly more removed position from larger urban centres, potentially offering a quieter residential atmosphere. The development differs from properties in central Estepona by providing easier access to the less developed western coastline towards Sotogrande. In comparison to more exclusive developments in Sotogrande itself, Pure Sun II represents a more accessible entry point to the same geographical area while maintaining access to similar facilities and amenities. The location effectively bridges the gap between the traditional Costa del Sol and the upmarket Sotogrande area, offering intermediate pricing and lifestyle benefits.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is situated in La Duquesa, an urbanised area on the Costa del Sol with direct access to the Mediterranean coastline. The location provides proximity to both the beach and town centre amenities, with the Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina just 1.0 km away. The project is positioned at an elevation of 66 metres above sea level, offering panoramic views of the coastline. Its placement between Estepona and Sotogrande provides access to facilities in both coastal towns.
The apartments address practical living requirements with their functional 90 m² layout featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The properties include fitted wardrobes for storage and covered terraces for outdoor living space. The inclusion of a private underground parking space and storage room addresses practical needs for vehicle security and additional storage. Air conditioning systems provide climate control throughout the year, while the communal swimming pool offers shared recreational space within the complex.
The project is documented as completed, though indicative completion is noted as 2026, which requires clarification. The development consists of 100 apartments and penthouses distributed throughout a gated complex. The construction features contemporary architecture with floor-to-ceiling windows designed to maximise natural light. The properties are described as being in excellent condition, with high-quality finishes throughout. The south-facing orientation optimises natural light exposure in all living spaces.
The project does not offer private garden spaces as these are limited to ground-floor units only. The development does not include exclusive beach access, with the nearest public beach requiring a short walk. There are no on-site commercial facilities such as shops or restaurants within the complex. The property does not feature a private swimming pool, only access to communal pool facilities. The development does not include dedicated office spaces or workrooms within the apartment layouts.
This property suits buyers seeking a permanent residence or holiday home with direct access to both beaches and urban amenities. It particularly appeals to those who prioritise walking access to daily necessities, with supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants all within a short distance. The development is well-suited for golf enthusiasts, with several courses within a 6 km radius. The apartment's size and features make it appropriate for couples, small families, or those planning regular visits from guests. Its location between Estepona and Sotogrande appeals to those who value access to these established towns while residing in a smaller community. The property is also suitable for buyers looking for a lock-and-leave solution due to its gated community status and manageable size.
The apartments feature high-quality finishes with contemporary design elements throughout. The living spaces incorporate tiled flooring, which provides durability and cooling benefits in the Mediterranean climate. The bathrooms include white marble fixtures and modern vanity units, creating a clean and timeless aesthetic. The kitchens are designed with modern appliances and integrate seamlessly with the living areas through open-plan layouts. Floor-to-ceiling windows not only maximise natural light but also incorporate quality glazing systems for thermal and acoustic insulation. The fitted wardrobes provide ample storage space with built-in systems. The communal areas of the development are finished to a similar standard, with the swimming pool and surrounding terrace areas designed for low maintenance and year-round use.
The two-bedroom apartments are priced from €420,000, positioning them in the mid-range segment for the La Duquesa area. When compared to similar developments, Pure Sun II is priced above Alonia in La Duquesa (from €298,000) but slightly above Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800). The price includes a private underground parking space and storage room, which adds value to the overall offering. The 90 m² living area results in a price per square metre of approximately €4,667, which aligns with current market rates for similar quality properties in this coastal area of Málaga province.
Living at Pure Sun II offers a daily routine shaped by Mediterranean coastal living. Morning coffee can be enjoyed on the south-facing terrace while taking in sea views before a short walk to the beach or local bakery. The location enables most daily errands to be completed on foot, with supermarkets and pharmacies within 200 metres. The development's proximity to the marina allows for regular waterfront strolls, while the nearby golf courses provide recreational options. The year-round mild climate supports outdoor activities throughout most seasons, with the five-month swimming season enabling regular sea bathing. The urban setting ensures access to amenities while maintaining a residential atmosphere, creating a balance between convenience and tranquillity.
