Completed in 2024, the property offers 171 square metres of living space with a southeast orientation. The development features communal amenities including a gym, sauna, and coworking area. The immediate vicinity provides access to golf courses and the marina, situating the residence within an established residential zone.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located within the Artola urbanisation, less than one kilometre from the Mediterranean Sea. It lies adjacent to the Cabopino Golf Course and the protected dunes of the Artola area. This positioning places the development at the transition point between the residential expansions of Mijas Costa and the eastern boundary of Marbella.
The layout accommodates the need for separate sleeping quarters and communal living areas, featuring a large terrace for outdoor usage. The inclusion of underfloor heating and a home automation system addresses requirements for thermal comfort and technological control. Access to on-site wellness facilities supports a lifestyle focused on physical recreation within the residential perimeter.
Construction was finalised in 2024, classifying this as a completed new-build property. The technical specifications include contemporary home automation systems and modern insulation standards. The infrastructure, including the underground parking garage and landscaped gardens, is fully operational and ready for immediate occupancy.
The property is a ground floor apartment and does not offer the isolation or privacy of a detached villa. The proximity to the coast and urban amenities implies a presence of seasonal tourism in the immediate area. The architectural style is defined by the collective design of the development, limiting the scope for external structural alterations.
This property suits a household seeking a primary residence or a high-frequency second home where year-round comfort is prioritised. The size and layout are appropriate for families requiring multiple bedrooms, while the automation features appeal to those accustomed to integrated technology. The location serves individuals who prefer walking to restaurants or the beach over driving to secluded hilltops. It also meets the needs of residents who wish to combine coastal living with access to golf facilities without managing a private garden. The proximity to international schools makes it viable for families with children, provided the educational commute is acceptable. The presence of secure parking and storage accommodates owners with sports equipment or vehicles requiring storage.
The specification includes underfloor heating throughout the living spaces, a feature that ensures consistent temperature distribution during cooler months. Bathrooms are fitted with rapid heating systems and contemporary vanity units. The kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances, designed for functional use rather than purely aesthetic display. Technological integration is a key component, with a home automation system installed to control lighting and climate remotely. Communal areas utilise hard landscaping and mature planting to create low-maintenance garden spaces. The swimming pools and gymnasium are finished with materials intended for durability and frequent use. The construction follows recent building codes, incorporating thermal insulation and acoustic dampening between units.
The price is set at €1,150,000, reflecting the inclusion of premium interior finishes and the specific location within the established Cabopino zone. This amount includes two garage spaces and a storage room, factors that influence the overall valuation compared to properties without such inclusions. The property is a completed unit, implying immediate availability without the delays associated with off-plan construction phases.
Daily life in this residence revolves around accessibility to the coast and outdoor amenities. The southeast orientation ensures the terrace receives morning sunlight, suitable for breakfast or working outdoors, a routine supported by the on-site coworking facility. Essential amenities such as supermarkets are within a five-minute walk, reducing dependency on a vehicle for basic errands. The nearby dunes offer a landscape distinct from the manicured golf courses, providing a walking route that feels separated from the urban environment. Evenings can be spent in the communal areas or at the nearby marina, which adds a nautical element to the social scene without requiring travel. The development’s enclosed nature creates a contained environment for physical activity, utilising the gym and pools within the residential perimeter.
The immediate environment is characterised by a mix of low-rise residential blocks and green zones. Walking paths connect the development to the beach and the port of Cabopino, facilitating a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle. Road access is via the A-7 coastal motorway, which links the area to Marbella to the west and Málaga to the east. Local commerce is concentrated along the coastal strip, offering a variety of dining and retail options. The density of services means that daily life can be conducted within a small radius. The infrastructure supports a permanent population as well as seasonal visitors, maintaining a level of activity throughout the year. Public transport stops are present within the locality, providing connections to the broader coastal transport network.
The map highlights the proximity to the Artola Dunes nature reserve and the coastline. The location is defined by the intersection of the A-7 motorway and local access roads leading to the sea. The green zones indicate the golf courses that buffer the residential area from the main traffic routes.

Compared to developments further inland such as Mijas Pueblo or Calahonda, this location offers a closer proximity to the beach and a flatter terrain, which facilitates walking. In contrast to the frontline beach developments in central Marbella, Artola maintains a quieter atmosphere with a focus on nature conservation due to the adjacent dunes. Price-wise, the cost per square metre is higher than in comparable projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar or Etherna Homes in Estepona. This price difference reflects the demand for the Marbella postcode and the premium finish of the property. While Lantana Residencial in Mijas offers a lower entry price, this project provides immediate occupancy and a higher specification of interior amenities. The position serves as a midpoint between the lower cost of living in the eastern resorts and the premium pricing of the Golden Mile.
