This key-ready ground-floor apartment is situated in Bahía de Marbella, a secured residential community on the Mediterranean coast east of Marbella town centre, roughly eight minutes away by car. The property offers 142 m² of living space with two en-suite bedrooms, two bathrooms, an enclosed glass terrace, an underground parking space and a private storage room. Built in 1999, the apartment features marble flooring, air conditioning and central heating, and is sold fully furnished. El Alicate beach lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies. The asking price is a fixed €760,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Bahía de Marbella sits on the coastal strip east of Marbella, a flat area at roughly 10 metres above sea level. El Alicate beach is 2.6 km away in a straight line, and Marbella town centre is about eight minutes by car. Three marinas, several golf courses and two international schools all lie within seven kilometres, giving the location both residential calm and practical access to the wider Costa del Sol.
The apartment is arranged for year-round living: two en-suite bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a fully equipped kitchen, a generous living and dining area, and an enclosed glass terrace that can be used across seasons. Air conditioning and central heating cover both warm and cool months, while the communal pool and garden, lift, underground parking and storage room add everyday practicality.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1999 and is described as being in excellent condition, ready for immediate occupation. Buyers should apply the usual diligence for a resale property of this age, including review of community documentation, technical inspection and confirmation of what the fixed asking price includes, such as furniture and parking.
The property does not offer a private pool or private garden; outdoor space consists of a covered and enclosed terrace plus communal facilities. The orientation is north facing, which affects direct sunlight on the main living spaces. There is no sea view; the apartment looks onto the communal garden. Standing costs such as community fees and annual taxes are not stated in the available data.

This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home on the Costa del Sol will value the 24-hour security, underground parking, storage room and the fact that the property is sold furnished and key-ready, meaning occupancy is possible without renovation work. International buyers who want both bedrooms en-suite will find the two-bathroom layout suited to hosting family or guests for extended stays. Purchasers prioritising year-round use rather than summer-only occupation benefit from central heating alongside air conditioning and from the enclosed glass terrace, which extends usable living space through the cooler months. Permanent residents will note the proximity of schools, the English International College is 3.6 km away and the British International School 6.8 km, plus five health centres in the area, making family relocation realistic. Buyers who want a coastal address without a car dependency can manage here, given fifty public transport stops nearby, though most residents of east Marbella keep a vehicle. It suits less well those wanting a private pool, panoramic sea views or a south-facing terrace with all-day sun; the north orientation and garden views are factual limitations. Investors comparing against new-build alternatives in Estepona, Mijas or Torre del Mar should weigh the older construction year against the established location and the completeness of the offer: furniture, parking and storage included in a single fixed price, in a mature market that records roughly 4,399 housing transactions per year.
The interior specification is consistent with a well-maintained late-1990s residence that has been kept in good order. Floors throughout are marble, a material typical of higher-end Marbella construction of that period and durable in coastal conditions. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped, and both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, reducing immediate furnishing costs for the buyer. The apartment is sold fully furnished, as visible in the living areas with their sofa arrangements, the bedroom with wardrobe, mirror and desk, and the finished bathroom shown in the photographic material. Climate control is twofold: air conditioning for the warm months and central heating for winter, a combination that distinguishes year-round homes from seasonal holiday stock. Windows are double glazed, improving thermal comfort and reducing noise from the communal grounds. The living area connects to an enclosed glass terrace with bamboo blinds, which functions as a climate buffer and an additional room. The bathroom visible in the imagery shows conventional tiling and sanitary fittings in working order. As a resale property completed in 1999, buyers should not expect contemporary new-build standards such as aerothermal hot water, home automation or current energy-performance technology; the technical baseline dates from the construction period, updated where apparent. A pre-purchase technical inspection remains advisable to assess installations, damp status and community building maintenance. Included in the purchase are the underground parking space and the private storage room, both practical assets in a beachside complex where surface parking is limited.
The asking price is a fixed €760,000 for this existing apartment; it is not a starting price within a wider price list. At 142 m² of living space, this equates to roughly €5,352 per square metre, before notary, registry and transfer taxes, which buyers should budget separately. The sale includes the fully furnished interior, a fully fitted kitchen, an underground parking space and a private storage room, points that affect the effective value compared with unfurnished resale stock. Built in 1999, the property competes in the established beachside segment of east Marbella rather than in the new-build market. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's terms and confirmation of the purchase process.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a ground-floor layout that connects indoor and outdoor space without stairs. The living and dining area opens onto an enclosed glass terrace with bamboo blinds, effectively a third living zone that stays usable in winter as in summer, and from there onto the communal garden. Mornings can begin on the covered patio with breakfast in shade, and the communal pool is a short walk within the gated complex, which operates with 24-hour security. The two bedrooms each have their own bathroom, a layout that suits couples who receive guests regularly, as both occupants and visitors keep their privacy. The north orientation means the interior stays cooler in peak summer, though the main terrace receives less direct sun than south-facing equivalents, a trade-off relevant to buyers who prioritise afternoon light. Practical errands are well covered: within two kilometres there are restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks and dentists, and eleven public transport lines with fifty stops serve the wider area, so a car is convenient but not strictly essential. Marbella centre, eight minutes by car, supplies the fuller range of shopping, leisure and services. The flat terrain towards the sea makes walking and cycling realistic options, and the enclosed community setting keeps the immediate surroundings quiet outside the summer months. For a second home, this configuration means the property can be locked up and left with underground parking and storage secured; for permanent residence, the mix of on-site security, nearby schools, 41 primary and 28 secondary in the area, and healthcare facilities supports full-time settling.
Bahía de Marbella belongs to the eastern beachside belt of Marbella, an area characterised by low-rise residential communities rather than hotel towers, although the wider municipality hosts 48 hotels with over 12,600 beds, indicating the scale of tourism the region absorbs. The immediate environment within two kilometres includes 138 restaurants, 25 cafés, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 3 dentists, a density that means daily needs are met without entering the town centre. Marbella centre itself is about eight minutes by car for broader shopping, culture and administration. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.6 km away as the crow flies along flat terrain with a gradient of just 0.4%, making the route walkable or cyclable. Three marinas lie between 3.2 and 3.4 km distant, Marina Marbella, Puerto Pesquero and Marina la Bajadilla, useful for boat owners and for waterfront dining. Sports facilities include Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 3.7 km and two further municipal sports centres within five kilometres. Public transport covers eleven lines with fifty stops in the vicinity, and the nearest Tesla supercharger is 7.9 km away for electric-vehicle owners. Education options in the area count 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, and five health centres serve local residents.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Bahía de Marbella occupies the eastern entrance to Marbella from the direction of Málaga airport, roughly 36 km straight-line to the north-east. This positioning places it between two anchors of the Costa del Sol: Marbella's historic centre and old port eight minutes to the west, and the lower-density residential and golf belt stretching towards Elviria and Cala de Mijas to the east. Compared with western Marbella's villa estates, the east side is characterised by established apartment communities directly on or near the beach, generally at lower price points than Nueva Andalucía or the Golden Mile while remaining inside the Marbella municipality. Within the region, the location balances coastal access, services and transport links.
Distances below are straight-line; road routes are longer. El Alicate beach lies 2.6 km away and Playa de la Bajadilla 3.6 km. Marbella town centre is roughly eight minutes by car. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 36 km as the crow flies, figure on a drive in the region of half an hour on the A-7/AP-7 corridor. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) sits about 60 km straight-line to the west. Golf is close by: Greenlife Golf Driving Range at 5.1 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella at 5.2 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 6.1 km. International schooling is available at the English International College (3.6 km) and the British International School (6.8 km). Within two kilometres, everyday amenities are extensive: restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks and dentists are all represented. Public transport runs on eleven lines with fifty stops nearby, so the location is workable without a car, though most households keep one. An EV supercharger is 7.9 km away.

The climate data supports genuine year-round residence. The average annual temperature is 19.2°C, and the sea stays at or above 20°C for approximately six months, defining a swimming season that runs roughly from late spring into autumn. At 10 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of only 0.4%, the terrain is flat throughout, which matters for walking, cycling and accessibility for older residents. The enclosed glass terrace acts as a practical climate feature: it shelters against winter wind while remaining usable on hot afternoons, complementing the combination of air conditioning and central heating inside. The north-facing orientation means the apartment avoids the most intense summer heat gain, though it receives less direct sun in the living areas, a factor to weigh for buyers who want afternoon light. The Mediterranean coastline and the nearby beach at El Alicate provide the natural setting, while the mountains behind Marbella, visible from parts of the region, frame the inland horizon.

El Alicate, the nearest beach at 2.6 km as the crow flies, is one of the quieter stretches east of Marbella, typically less crowded than the central town beaches. Playa de la Bajadilla, 3.6 km away, sits beside the fishing port and marina of the same name, where seafood restaurants line the waterfront. Three marinas within 3.4 km, Marina Marbella, Puerto Pesquero and Marina la Bajadilla, cover mooring, waterfront dining and strolling. Golfers have three options within about six kilometres: Greenlife Golf Driving Range (5.1 km), Greenlife Golf Marbella (5.2 km) and Santa María Golf & Country Club (6.1 km), making the apartment a workable base for regular play. For organised sport, Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima lies 3.7 km away, with a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion at 4.5 km and Polideportivo Francisco Norte at 4.7 km. Within the community itself, the communal pool and garden provide daily recreation without leaving the complex, and the 24-hour security allows children and grandchildren to move around the grounds independently.

Flat
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment competes in a different segment from the current new-build pipeline. Comparable new projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar start from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those figures are entry prices for smaller units in less central coastal positions; this property asks a fixed €760,000 for 142 m², about €5,352 per square metre, in an established, secured community inside the Marbella municipality itself. That per-square-metre rate reflects the Marbella address premium: the town combines year-round services, 48 hotels, an active market of roughly 4,399 annual transactions and international schooling, whereas Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona offer lower entry costs with thinner year-round infrastructure in places. The trade-off is construction age. A 1999 building carries older installations, a north-facing orientation and communal rather than private outdoor space, while new-build buyers receive modern energy standards and developer payment terms instead. Set against other resale stock in east Marbella, the property's differentiators are the two en-suite bedrooms, the completeness of the offer, furniture, parking and storage included, and the enclosed glass terrace that functions as additional living space throughout the year. Buyers weighing value should compare total cost of ownership: new-build prices exclude transfer tax reductions available on resale, while resale purchases carry 6–10% purchase costs on top of the asking price. Locationally, Bahía de Marbella sits closer to Marbella centre than Elviria or La Cala, and closer to the airport than Estepona, which places it centrally within the regional hierarchy of coastal addresses.
