A key-ready, fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in the established Pueblo Camelot community in Los Hidalgos, La Duquesa, on the western Costa del Sol. The property measures 92 m² of living space and offers a private terrace, an east-facing orientation and views towards the sea, the communal pool and the landscaped gardens. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina lies roughly 600 metres away as the crow flies, while shops, restaurants and pharmacies sit within a short walk. Completed in 2000 and offered at a fixed asking price of €315,000, the apartment suits use as a permanent home, a holiday residence or a rental investment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Los Hidalgos, an urbanised area adjoining the marina of Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, approximately 600 metres from the beach as the crow flies. The commercial centre of Los Hidalgos, with restaurants and daily amenities, is within walking distance. Marbella lies about 35 km to the east and Estepona roughly 15 minutes by car along the coast road.
The layout serves households needing three separate bedrooms: a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, plus two further bedrooms, each with its own terrace or balconette. A fully fitted kitchen, marble flooring, fitted wardrobes and complete furnishing mean the home can be occupied immediately. Communal gardens and a pool cover the outdoor leisure function, so no private garden maintenance is required.
This is an existing property, completed in 2000, in good condition and key-ready. There is no construction phase, no staged payments and no waiting period: purchase and handover follow the standard resale process. The delivery date listed is the year of completion of the building, which is indicative of the urbanisation's age rather than a future handover.
The property offers no private garden or private pool; both are communal. Only one parking arrangement is implied by the urbanisation and no private garage or storage room is listed. The east orientation means direct terrace sun falls mainly in the morning. At 92 m², the living area is compact relative to some comparable new-build 3-bedroom apartments on the coast.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently who wants three bedrooms, walkable amenities and a functioning year-round neighbourhood will find schools, a health centre and public transport within the immediate area, which reduces dependence on a second car. A household seeking a holiday residence benefits from the key-ready condition: the apartment is fully furnished and equipped, so use can begin in the first weeks after completion of the purchase. It also suits a buyer prioritising outdoor access without garden maintenance. Three separate terraces give each bedroom private outdoor space, while the communal gardens and pool are maintained by the community, a practical arrangement for owners who are absent for long periods. Investors comparing against local new-build supply should note the price level: at €315,000 fixed for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit near the marina, the entry cost sits at or below the from-price of comparable off-plan apartments in La Duquesa and Estepona, with the rental market supported by the marina, the beaches and golf visitors. Less suitable situations are equally worth naming. Buyers wanting a private pool, a private plot or under-build space should look elsewhere, as the outdoor facilities here are communal. Households expecting large-scale interior volumes may find 92 m² modest for a 3-bedroom layout. And buyers who want brand-new construction with modern energy performance should consider the new-build alternatives listed above rather than a 2000-built resale.
The interior specification reflects the standards of quality Spanish construction from around 2000, maintained in good condition. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of the period on the Costa del Sol, valued for its coolness in summer and its durability under permanent or intermittent use. The principal bathroom is fitted with a double sink unit, visible in the property photography, which reduces morning congestion in a three-bedroom household. The second bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and guests. The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances and cabinetry, and the apartment is sold fully furnished, including terrace furniture with a parasol. All three bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, which partly compensates for the absence of a separate storage room. WiFi is installed. Doors and finishes follow the original urbanisation scheme rather than a recent renovation, so buyers planning cosmetic modernisation should budget accordingly, although no structural works are indicated. At building level, Pueblo Camelot is a consolidated community with oasis-inspired landscaped gardens and a resort-style pool set among palm trees. Mature planting of this kind implies an established irrigation and maintenance regime funded through community fees. Windows and patio doors in the living area open onto the main private terrace; the east orientation provides morning sun and shade from early afternoon, which limits summer heat gain on the terrace but also reduces afternoon sun hours indoors. As an existing home, no energy certificate data were supplied in the source material, and buyers should request the existing documentation during due diligence.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €315,000, not a from-price. This positions it below or around the entry level of comparable new-build projects nearby: Alonia in La Duquesa starts from €316,000 and Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000, both typically with smaller plots of outdoor space per euro, while Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts from €524,600. As a resale in a completed 2000 urbanisation, the property includes full furnishing, a fitted kitchen and marble flooring in the asking figure, whereas new-build pricing normally excludes these items. Availability is immediate: the property is key-ready, so the timeline runs from offer to notarial completion rather than through a construction schedule.
Daily life here is organised around the compact scale of La Duquesa. Mornings can begin on the east-facing terrace, which receives direct sun before midday, making it a practical spot for breakfast with views over the pool, gardens and, further out, the sea. The apartment then works as a straightforward base: the entrance hall connects a fully equipped kitchen with a combined living and dining area, and the hallway leads to three bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and its own outdoor space, which is unusual at this size and gives every occupant a private corner. Beyond the front door, the rhythm is walkable. A pharmacy sits roughly 120 metres away and a supermarket within about 200 metres, so routine shopping does not require a car. The commercial area of Los Hidalgos contains a selection of restaurants and cafés, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, about 300 metres as the crow flies, adds marina-side dining, boat services and a promenade for evening walks. La Duquesa beach is roughly 600 metres away on flat terrain, with a gradient of about 2.3% towards the shore, meaning the walk is manageable on foot or by bicycle for most residents. The community itself, Pueblo Camelot, is a mature urbanisation with established planting and a communal pool, which functions as the social centre during the warmer months. Within two kilometres there are three primary schools and a secondary school, a health centre, dentists and dozens of restaurants, indicating that the area operates year-round rather than only in the tourist season. Five public transport lines and 29 stops in the locality provide an alternative to driving along the A-7 corridor towards Estepona, Sotogrande and Marbella.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with marina-side activity. Within a two-kilometre radius, the area intelligence counts 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and a dentist, alongside three primary schools and one secondary school, a density that indicates a settled, year-round population rather than a seasonal resort zone. A health centre covers routine medical needs. The nearest pharmacy lies about 122 metres from the complex and the supermarket roughly 183 metres, both within a two-minute walk for most residents. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, approximately 300 metres as the crow flies, anchors local leisure: a marina with waterfront restaurants and a promenade linking the beaches either side of the harbour. La Duquesa beach sits about 600 metres away and Playa de la Chullera about 2.6 km, giving a choice between the sheltered marina beaches and more open stretches towards Sotogrande. For sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas is around 3 km away. Terrain is essentially flat, the site lies at roughly 14 metres elevation with a 2.3% gradient towards the sea, so walking and cycling are realistic for daily errands. An electric-vehicle charging point is located about 214 metres away, relevant for owners of EVs without private charging. Public transport is available through five lines and 29 stops, though for regional travel most residents use the A-7 and AP-7 roads.
The map shows the apartment's position in Los Hidalgos relative to Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa (0.3 km straight-line), La Duquesa beach (0.6 km) and Doña Julia golf course (2.5 km). Marbella lies 35 km east and Gibraltar about 25 km south-west. Straight-line distances are shown; road distances will be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Duquesa occupies the western stretch of the Costa del Sol between Estepona and Sotogrande, about 35 km straight-line from Marbella and 32 km from Algeciras. The position places it closer to Gibraltar Airport (25 km) than to Málaga's (74 km), which shapes both travel planning and the buyer profile, the area draws a mix of British, Scandinavian and Spanish residents alongside holiday tenants. Within this micro-region, Los Hidalgos is the residential and commercial district immediately behind the marina, quieter than the seafront itself yet within a few minutes' walk of it. Local housing turnover of roughly 1,351 transactions per year indicates an active resale and rental market rather than a dormant one.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The beach at La Duquesa lies 0.6 km away on flat ground; Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina is 0.3 km. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is approximately 25 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) roughly 74 km, meaning both arrival points are workable, with Gibraltar often the shorter drive for this part of the coast. Alicante-Elche (ALC) at about 465 km is not a practical option. Golf is well represented within a short radius: Doña Julia Golf Club lies 2.5 km away, the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort 4.9 km and Estepona Golf 6.3 km, with Puerto de Sotogrande and its facilities about 8.9 km to the west. Daily provisions require no car, supermarket, pharmacy and the Los Hidalgos commercial area are all within walking distance. Marbella (35 km straight-line) and Estepona provide wider retail, healthcare and cultural options, while Algeciras (32 km) connects to the port and rail links towards Cádiz. A car remains useful for regional trips, but daily life around the apartment is largely manageable on foot or by bicycle.

The location sits at roughly 14 metres above sea level on the coastal plain, with a flat 2.3% gradient towards the shore, no significant hills separate the apartment from the beach. The climate data show an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, consistent with the western Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm, humid summers moderated by sea proximity. The swimming season extends to about five months per year with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, typically from late spring into early autumn. For residents, this translates into outdoor use of the terraces and communal pool across most of the year, with morning sun on the east-facing main terrace and shade from early afternoon, a comfortable pattern in the hottest months. The nearby coastline mixes marina beaches with more natural stretches such as Playa de la Chullera, and the hills behind Manilva and the Sierra Bermeja towards Estepona provide walking country inland. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, while summer months are predominantly dry, which is reflected in the irrigation-dependent tropical planting of the community gardens.

La Duquesa beach, 0.6 km away, is the nearest swimming option: a family-friendly stretch beside the marina with chiringuitos and promenade access. Playa de la Chullera, 2.6 km west, offers a rockier, less developed shoreline towards the Piedras Palomas headland, suited to quieter days. The marina itself functions as the recreational hub, with boat berths, waterfront restaurants and seasonal events. Golfers have three courses within 6.3 km: Doña Julia (2.5 km), a championship-length course in the Casares hills; the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort (4.9 km), geared to practice and short game; and Estepona Golf (6.3 km), a mature parkland course. Beyond golf, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas (3.0 km) covers municipal sports facilities, and Puerto de Sotogrande (8.9 km) adds sailing and polo grounds in season. The 33 restaurants and four cafés within two kilometres mean evening entertainment rarely requires a drive, and the flat terrain supports running and cycling along the coast road and seafront.

Within its own micro-market, this apartment competes directly with new-build supply in La Duquesa and Estepona. Alonia in La Duquesa lists from €316,000, effectively the same entry point as this resale's fixed €315,000 asking price, while Aby Upper in Estepona starts from €320,000 and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600. The trade-offs follow a consistent pattern. New-build projects offer contemporary energy performance, modern layouts and developer payment structures, but at from-prices that typically exclude furnishing, fitted kitchens of this specification and terrace furniture, all of which are included here. This apartment, completed in 2000, offers instead immediacy (key-ready), a mature community with established gardens and pool, and a rare configuration of three private terraces for a 3-bedroom unit of 92 m². Locationally, La Duquesa sits between two price poles of the western Costa del Sol. Marbella, 35 km east, trades at substantially higher levels per square metre, driven by international demand and branded residential supply. Estepona, the nearest larger town, has seen considerable new-build development along its western flank, which is where Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper sit. La Duquesa itself remains lower-density, organised around the marina rather than high-rise strips, and benefits from dual airport access, Gibraltar at 25 km and Málaga at 74 km, which few Costa del Sol locations can match. Local market activity of roughly 1,351 housing transactions per year indicates a liquid resale market, relevant for exit strategies. Buyers comparing this property against the new-build alternatives should weigh the €315,000 fixed price with furnishing included against the from-prices quoted above, noting that the price type differs: this is a completed, single-home asking price, while the comparables are starting prices for unbuilt or newly completed stock where final costs typically land above the entry figure.
