This key-ready penthouse is located in Duquesa Village, a gated community in La Duquesa on the western Costa del Sol, and is offered at a fixed asking price of €320,000. Built in 2007, the property offers 90 m² of living space with two double bedrooms and two renovated bathrooms, plus two private terraces with sea and mountain views. The complex includes five communal swimming pools, subtropical gardens, a padel court and 24-hour security. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina and La Duquesa beach are both within walking distance, at roughly 0.3 and 0.6 km as the crow flies respectively.
Within its immediate segment, this penthouse competes with both resale stock and new-build developments around La Duquesa and Estepona. The closest new-build reference is Alonia in La Duquesa, quoting from €316,000, nominally below this asking price, though new-build 'from' prices typically concern smaller base units without furniture, parking and storage included, and buyers wait for construction to complete. Aby Upper in Estepona starts from €320,000, matching this price point, but again concerns off-plan or newly delivered product. Further east, Acqua Gardens in Estepona opens at €524,600, reflecting the general price gradient that rises towards Marbella and the Golden Mile. At €320,000 for a furnished, completed 2007 penthouse with two terraces, parking and a storeroom, the property positions itself as the turnkey alternative in a local market where entry-level new build and good resale product converge at around €310,000–€330,000. The wider region supports this pricing: 1,351 housing transactions per year are recorded locally, indicating liquidity, and the western Costa del Sol has seen sustained demand from international buyers, supported by the dual-airport access via Gibraltar (25 km) and Málaga (74 km). Compared with Marbella 35 km east, La Duquesa trades glamour for affordability and calm; compared with Sotogrande just west, it offers a more compact, marina-centred lifestyle at lower entry prices. Buyers weighing this property against new build should factor in the age of the building against the immediacy of occupation, the included furniture and fittings, and the established community infrastructure of Duquesa Village, five pools, padel court, gardens and round-the-clock security, which in new projects is often still maturing at handover.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in La Duquesa, between Estepona and Sotogrande on the Málaga coast. The marina of Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa lies about 0.3 km away in a straight line, with the beach at 0.6 km. Marbella is roughly 35 km distant and Algeciras 32 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 25 km away, with Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 74 km.
The penthouse offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms with walk-in showers, a fitted kitchen, marble flooring, hot and cold air conditioning, electric blinds, fitted wardrobes and two private terraces. It is sold fully furnished with an underground parking space and a private storeroom, which suits both holiday use and year-round residence.
This is an existing home, completed in 2007, in key-ready condition. The bathrooms have been recently renovated. Because the property is finished and furnished, no construction phase or delivery period applies; the buyer can take occupancy directly after completion of the purchase process.
The property has no private pool; swimming pools are communal within the complex. Living space measures 90 m² with two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. The building dates from 2007 rather than being new construction. The second terrace is shared access via the second bedroom and kitchen, and its size is more suited to sitting or working than large-scale entertaining.
This penthouse fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Costa del Sol will find the furnished, key-ready condition and gated complex with 24-hour security practical for part-time use, including lock-up-and-leave absences. Buyers relocating for year-round living benefit from the two bathrooms, the walkable distance to the marina and beach, and the presence of three primary schools and a secondary school within the broader area. Investors considering rental use will note the location near the marina (0.3 km) and beach (0.6 km), the five communal pools and the padel court, all features with documented appeal in the holiday rental market of the western Costa del Sol. Golfers are also served: Doña Julia golf course lies 2.5 km away in a straight line, with further courses within 10 km. The property is less suitable for households needing three or more bedrooms, for buyers specifically wanting a private pool, or for those seeking new-build construction with modern energy standards. A car remains necessary for groceries, larger shopping and exploring the region, so buyers who prefer to live entirely without one should weigh this carefully. Finally, owners who enjoy quiet winters will find the area outside the high season considerably calmer than in summer, which can be either an advantage or a drawback depending on expectations.
The apartment was completed in 2007 and is documented as being in excellent condition. The interior finishes include marble flooring throughout, which is typical of the build quality of that period on this stretch of coast and is durable in the sandy, saline coastal environment. The bathrooms have been recently renovated, with both now fitted with contemporary walk-in showers and modern fittings. The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances and generous storage. Climate control consists of hot and cold air conditioning, allowing use in both summer and the cooler winter months, and electric sun blinds on the terraces give adjustable shade and privacy at the push of a button. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the apartment is sold fully furnished, which reduces initial setup costs for the buyer. The building fabric and shared elements of Duquesa Village are described as well maintained, with subtropical gardens surrounding five swimming pools. Practically, the property includes an underground parking space reached by lift directly to the apartment level, plus a private storeroom for bicycles, luggage or seasonal items. Security provisions are extensive for this segment: a gated entrance, 24-hour security and concierge service. As with any 2007 building, buyers may wish to verify the technical installation dates (boiler, air conditioning units, electrical system) through an independent survey, as original equipment may be approaching replacement age even where it functions correctly.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €320,000, turnkey and fully furnished. This price reflects an existing 2007 apartment rather than a new-build unit, with recently renovated bathrooms and included extras such as underground parking and a storeroom. For context, new-build projects in the immediate area start at similar or higher levels: Alonia in La Duquesa quotes from €316,000, Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000, and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600. Compared with these, the fixed price here covers a completed, furnished home with no waiting period. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs and community fees, which are not included in the asking price.
Daily life at this penthouse revolves around the combination of a secure resort-style complex and a walkable coastal setting. Mornings can begin on the south-east facing main terrace, which receives early sun and overlooks the Mediterranean and the hills inland. From the living area, large patio doors open directly onto this terrace, so the transition between indoors and outdoors is immediate. The second terrace, reached via the second bedroom or the kitchen, faces a different exposure and functions as a shaded spot for reading or working outside the peak sun hours. The immediate surroundings are residential rather than urban. Within a 2 km radius, the area counts 33 restaurants, 4 cafés, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, which means everyday needs are largely met on foot or by a short drive. The marina at 0.3 km straight-line distance provides the social centre of the neighbourhood: by day the focus is on the beach, beach bars and water sports, while in the evening the restaurants and small shops around the harbour become the main draw. Groceries and larger services require a car, and most residents in La Duquesa keep one. The complex itself offers five swimming pools set in subtropical gardens, a padel court, 24-hour security and concierge service. Access to the apartment is by lift or stairs from the underground car park, so parking and loading are handled internally. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons: busy and international in summer, considerably quieter outside the holiday months, which suits owners who prefer calm outside July and August.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with a well-developed leisure infrastructure. Within 2 km there are 33 restaurants, 4 cafés, 3 pharmacies, a dentist and a health centre, covering most daily requirements. For families, the wider area includes 3 primary schools and a secondary school. The marina of Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, at 0.3 km straight-line, functions as the local social hub with its restaurants, boutiques and seasonal open-air markets. Sotogrande's marina lies 8.9 km away for a change of scene. Sports facilities include the Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas at 3.0 km. Public transport is limited but present, with 5 lines and 29 stops in the area, sufficient for occasional trips along the coast, though most residents rely on a car. The A-7 coastal road connects the area to Estepona in one direction and Sotogrande and Algeciras in the other, while the AP-7 toll motorway offers faster access towards Marbella and Málaga. The terrain is essentially flat, the elevation is only 14 metres above sea level with a 2.3% gradient to the beach, so walking to the sea involves no significant climb. Housing turnover in the area is substantial, with 1,351 transactions per year recorded locally, indicating an active resale market.
The map shows the penthouse's position between the marina (0.3 km) and La Duquesa beach (0.6 km), with golf courses to the north and Sotogrande to the west. Distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual road routes are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Duquesa occupies the western end of the Málaga province coastline, between Estepona (about 20 minutes by car) and Sotogrande. Marbella lies 35 km to the east and Algeciras 32 km to the west, positioning the area at the transition between the busy central Costa del Sol and the more spacious Cádiz coast. Gibraltar Airport at roughly 25 km makes the location convenient for UK-based owners. The character here is more relaxed than Marbella or Estepona town centres, with a residential base around the marina rather than high-density tourism.
Key distances, measured as the crow flies: La Duquesa beach 0.6 km, Playa de la Chullera 2.6 km, Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa 0.3 km, and Puerto de Sotogrande 8.9 km. Golf options include Doña Julia at 2.5 km, the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 25 km away, mainly used for UK flights, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, with a far wider international network, lies roughly 74 km away, about an hour by road. Algeciras, with its ferry connections to Morocco, is 32 km distant, and Marbella is 35 km. Actual driving distances are longer than these straight-line figures. A car is recommended for daily life; public transport exists with 5 lines and 29 stops but is oriented towards local hops rather than comprehensive regional coverage. The underground parking space included with the apartment simplifies arrival and departure.

The climate data supports year-round residential use. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, and the swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly May through October. The elevation of 14 metres and the flat 2.3% gradient to the beach mean the coastal path can be walked easily at any age. The south-east orientation of the main terrace brings morning and midday sun, with the second terrace offering shade in the afternoon; the Mediterranean climate of this coastline records around 300 sunny days per year in general regional statistics. Inland, the Sierra Bermeja mountains behind Estepona provide a green backdrop and walking territory, while the coastal strip itself alternates between built-up marina zones and quieter natural beaches such as Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km. The sea moderates summer heat and softens winter temperatures, so heating needs are modest, complemented by the apartment's hot and cold air conditioning.

The nearest beach, La Duquesa, lies 0.6 km away in a straight line, a short flat walk from the complex. Playa de la Chullera, a quieter stretch towards Sotogrande, is 2.6 km away. The marina at 0.3 km anchors daytime leisure: water sports, boat trips, beach bars and seasonal markets. Golf is a defining feature of the area, with Doña Julia Golf at 2.5 km, the Albayt Resort Golf Academy at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km, all within a ten-minute drive. Within Duquesa Village itself, residents have five communal swimming pools, a padel tennis court and landscaped subtropical gardens, so recreation does not depend on leaving the complex. The Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas sports centre at 3.0 km adds municipal facilities. Sotogrande's marina and polo scene, 8.9 km away, extend the options further along the coast.
