A key-ready apartment in Altos de los Monteros, a quiet hillside residential area east of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 159 m² of built space across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a private terrace of 52.7 m² oriented towards sea, mountain and golf views. The building stands within a gated community with 24-hour security, a communal pool and garden, an indoor heated pool, gym and sauna. The asking price is fixed at €820,000 and includes one private parking space and a storage room. Completion is recorded as 2025, meaning the home is delivered in new condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Altos de los Monteros sits inland from the coast at roughly 190 metres elevation, in a quiet, semi-rural setting between Marbella and Elviria. El Alicate beach lies 4.0 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella's centre and marinas are within about 4 km. The gradient towards the sea is moderate at 4.8%, which shapes the views but also the walking routes.
The apartment combines a 96.7 m² interior with a 52.7 m² terrace, underfloor heating throughout, ceiling heating and cooling, and double glazing. Facilities within the community include a heated indoor pool, gym, sauna and lift, with wheelchair-accessible design. One parking space and a storage room are included. Pets are allowed.
The property is key-ready and recorded as completed in 2025, an indicative date that reflects new construction delivered without renovation needs. Buyers can therefore move in directly, and defects liability terms typically run from the completion date. The home is unfurnished, which leaves interior finishing to the new owner.
A car is necessary for daily travel; the area has no walkable supermarket within 3.5 km. The pool is communal, not private. The stated distances are straight-line, so actual road routes are longer. The swimming season with sea temperatures above 20°C lasts about four months. The property is sold unfurnished and the project name is not disclosed.
This apartment fits a buyer profile centred on move-in readiness. Because it was completed in 2025 and is key-ready, it suits households that want to avoid the uncertainty and timelines of off-plan purchasing. The configuration of three bedrooms and two bathrooms works for a permanent residence for a couple or small family, and the heated indoor pool plus 24-hour security make it equally usable as a second home occupied mainly outside the summer season. The buyer should be comfortable with car-based living. Anyone expecting to walk to shops, restaurants or the beach will find the distances of 3.5 to 4.0 km too long on foot, partly uphill on the return. It also suits a household that values wellness infrastructure, gym, sauna, indoor and outdoor pools, within a gated setting, and that wants panoramic views without accepting a remote mountain location, since Marbella's marinas and centre remain about 4 km away. Pet owners are explicitly permitted. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a private pool, a furnished turnkey rental product, or a first foothold at entry-level pricing along the Costa del Sol.
The specification list points to a contemporary new-build standard. Climate control is layered: underfloor heating runs throughout the apartment, complemented by a ceiling cooling system and ceiling heating system, with air conditioning and double glazing supporting temperature stability across the 11-25°C seasonal range. The kitchen is fully fitted and open-plan, connected to a dining area and living room that open onto the private terrace through glass doors. Practical storage is addressed with fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a separate storage room, plus a laundry room. The bathroom count includes one en-suite. Building-level features include a lift, a security entrance with video entry, surveillance cameras and 24-hour service within a gated community. Wellness facilities, a heated indoor pool, gym and sauna, sit alongside the communal outdoor swimming pool and landscaped garden. The apartment is wheelchair-accessible. Parking is included in the form of one private garage space. The home is delivered unfurnished and appears in unoccupied, new condition, so the buyer arranges soft furnishings themselves.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €820,000 as an existing, key-ready home completed in 2025 (indicative). That figure covers 159 m² built, of which 96.7 m² is interior and 52.7 m² terrace, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one parking space, a storage room and access to the community's shared facilities. This positions the property well above the from-prices of new-build projects further along the coast, such as Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona, reflecting the Marbella address, the hillside views and the specification level. Because it is a single resale-ready unit, there is no typology or price variation: what is listed is what is available.
Daily life in Altos de los Monteros follows the rhythm of a residential hillside enclave rather than a resort strip. The area is quiet and semi-rural, with low-density housing set against the Sierra's foothills. Mornings tend to start with the terrace: at 190 metres elevation and with a 4.8% gradient towards the sea, the apartment commands layered views over the coastline, the Mediterranean and the golf valleys inland. The 52.7 m² terrace, partly covered, functions almost as a second living room for most of the year, given the 18.3°C annual average temperature. Practical errands require a short drive. The nearest supermarket and pharmacy are about 3.5 km away, and a hospital is 2.2 km away in a straight line, which keeps healthcare within a few minutes by car. The beach at El Alicate, 4.0 km as the crow flies, is the closest coastal option, with Playa de la Bajadilla and its adjoining marina slightly further. Exercise and leisure are largely organised within the community itself: a heated indoor pool allows swimming year-round, and the gym and sauna sit alongside the communal outdoor pool and garden. For golfers, three courses and driving ranges lie between 5.3 and 6.2 km away. The location suits a household that values calm, views and security, accepts driving for groceries and dining, and wants both the coast and Marbella's town life within a ten-minute drive.
Altos de los Monteros occupies the slopes between the N-340 coastal corridor and the hills behind Marbella East. The elevation of 190 metres and the moderate 4.8% gradient to the sea create the area's defining quality: elevated views over the coast combined with a quiet, low-density residential fabric. Distances are manageable but consistently require a car: the nearest supermarket and pharmacy at 3.5 km, El Alicate beach at 4.0 km, and the hospital at 2.2 km as the crow flies. Marbella's marinas, Marina Marbella, Marina la Bajadilla and Puerto Pesquero, cluster around 4.0 to 4.2 km away, meaning the town's dining, fishing quarter and seafront are all within the same short drive. For families, the English International College lies 4.5 km away and the British International School 7.1 km, while the wider municipality counts 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools. Sport is well served: three golf facilities between 5.3 and 6.2 km, and municipal sports centres including the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 4.1 km. Electric-vehicle charging is available 4.4 km away.
The map shows the apartment's elevated position behind Marbella East, with the coast, three marinas, golf courses and international schools all within a 4-7 km radius. Note that all distances shown are straight-line; road routes follow the hillside terrain and take longer.

Within the Costa del Sol, Altos de los Monteros belongs to Marbella East, the stretch between the town centre and Elviria characterised by consolidated residential urbanisations, golf valleys and quiet beach chiringuitos. It sits closer to Marbella's centre than most eastern enclaves, about 4 km to the marinas, while retaining hillside separation from coastal traffic and tourism. The area's hotel density (52 hotels, nearly 12,800 beds municipality-wide) concentrates along the coast, leaving the residential slopes comparatively calm year-round. Transaction volume of roughly 4,700 homes per year reflects an active local market.
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 34 km away in a straight line, roughly a 30-minute drive via the A-7, with Gibraltar at 62 km as an alternative. A car is necessary for daily travel; public transport exists in the wider municipality with 11 lines and 50 stops, but the hillside position of Altos de los Monteros makes scheduled services impractical for routine use. Beach access by car covers El Alicate (4.0 km), Playa de la Bajadilla (4.4 km) and Playa de la Artola (7.0 km). Golfers reach Greenlife Golf (5.3 and 5.6 km) and Santa María Golf & Country Club (6.2 km). Healthcare is close at 2.2 km to the hospital, with five health centres across the municipality. All distances are straight-line; road distances are longer.

The climate data indicates a typical Costa del Sol profile: monthly averages ranging from 11°C in winter to 25°C in summer, with an annual mean of 18.3°C. At 190 metres above sea level on a hillside with a 4.8% gradient towards the coast, the apartment benefits from elevation-driven ventilation and unobstructed panoramas towards sea, mountains, golf courses and open countryside. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or more, lasts about four months, which is precisely where the community's heated indoor pool adds year-round value. Outdoor terrace use extends well beyond summer thanks to mild spring and autumn months, and the underfloor heating covers the cooler winter weeks. The semi-rural surroundings mean nights are quieter and slightly cooler than on the seafront.

The nearest stretch of sand is El Alicate at 4.0 km straight-line, a quieter beach east of Marbella's centre. Playa de la Bajadilla (4.4 km) adjoins the working fishing port and Marina la Bajadilla, where the seafront promenade towards the old town begins. Playa de la Artola (7.0 km), by the Cabopino dunes, offers a more natural setting backed by protected dune landscape. Golf forms the second recreational pillar: Greenlife Golf Driving Range at 5.3 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella at 5.6 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 6.2 km cover practice and 18-hole play. Additional sports facilities include municipal centres at 4.1 to 5.0 km, and the Mirador de Ojén viewpoint at 4.3 km provides an inland walking destination.

Against the wider Costa del Sol market, this property represents the upper-mid segment of Marbella East. The €820,000 fixed asking price contrasts with new-build from-prices of €269,950 at Aquamar in Torre del Mar, €205,000 at Lantana Residencial in Mijas and €269,000 at Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona. Those projects offer lower entry costs in fast-growing eastern and western corridors, but in off-plan or recently delivered urban settings without Marbella's address premium. What the buyer acquires here instead is threefold: an established, low-density hillside environment with panoramic views; a completed, key-ready home with no construction-phase risk; and proximity, about 4 km, to Marbella's centre, marinas and old town, something Mijas and Estepona cannot match at any price. The specification also runs deeper than most entry-level new builds: underfloor heating throughout, a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym inside a gated, 24-hour secured community, plus wheelchair accessibility and a lift. The trade-offs are structural to the location. Daily life depends on a car, the pool is communal rather than private, and the swimming season in open water is limited to about four months, which the indoor pool compensates for. Marbella's market depth, roughly 4,743 transactions per year in the municipality, 41 primary schools and five health centres, supports liquidity and year-round services in a way smaller coastal towns do not. For buyers weighing price per square metre alone, alternatives further east or west deliver more space for less; for buyers weighing setting, views and immediate habitability, this position in Altos de los Monteros competes in a distinct bracket.
