This four-bedroom, four-bathroom townhouse is situated in a gated beachfront community in Bahía de Marbella, in the Los Monteros Playa area on Marbella's eastern side. The property offers approximately 233 m² of built area, around 30 m² of terraces and a small private garden, with partial sea views from the top floor. The asking price is fixed at €1,500,000. The urbanisation includes communal gardens, a lagoon-style pool, direct beach access, 24-hour security and underground parking. Completed in 2000, the house is key-ready and faces west, providing afternoon sun on the terraces.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies in Bahía de Marbella on the Los Monteros Playa stretch of Marbella East, roughly 2.6 km as the crow flies from El Alicate beach, with direct access to the sand from the gated community itself. Marbella centre and its marinas are 3.2 to 3.4 km away in a straight line. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport sits approximately 36 km distant, Gibraltar around 60 km.
The house offers four double bedrooms and four bathrooms across roughly 233 m² of built space, with a guest toilet, a west-facing orientation and terraces of about 30 m². Hot and cold air conditioning runs throughout, all bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the master bathroom includes underfloor heating. A basement-level bedroom suits guests or staff. Private underground parking is included.
This is an existing home, completed in 2000, not a new-build development. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be transferred in its current condition without waiting for works. Any modernisation, such as updating kitchens or bathrooms, would be at the buyer's initiative and cost. The completion date stated is indicative of the original build year.
The private garden measures only about 20 m², so outdoor space beyond the terraces is limited. The plot is small and the property is a townhouse within a community, which means shared rules, community fees and dependence on communal maintenance. One bedroom is located in the basement, which receives less natural light. Sea views are partial and limited to the top floor. The home dates from 2000 and may not match current new-build specifications.
This property fits buyers seeking a ready-to-occupy home in a secured beachfront setting who do not want to wait for a new-build completion. A family relocating to Marbella year-round benefits from the four bedrooms, proximity to international schools such as the English International College at 3.6 km straight-line, and access to healthcare facilities in the area. A household with regular guests or live-in help can use the basement-level bedroom as separate accommodation. Buyers prioritising outdoor afternoon living will value the west orientation, with terraces usable until sunset. Those wanting a low-maintenance second home appreciate the communal gardens and pool maintained by the community, plus 24-hour security during absences. The property is less suitable for buyers requiring a large private garden, full panoramic sea views from every floor, or the technical specifications of post-2020 construction. Investors should note that rental returns in frontline communities depend on licensing, community rules and seasonality. Households that dislike shared facilities or community regulations may find an independent villa more appropriate. Finally, buyers who need frequent airport access will find Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport about 36 km away as the crow flies, which is workable but not a short hop.
The house was completed in 2000, which places it in a period when Marbella East residential construction generally used conventional Spanish materials: rendered facades, ceramic or marble flooring, aluminium window frames and plastered interiors. Specific finishing details known from the data include underfloor heating in the en-suite master bathroom, hot and cold air conditioning throughout, built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms, and ample storage space. The terraces, approximately 30 m² in total, are private and west-facing. The images available show a red-toned townhouse with garden, contemporary-style bathrooms with glass showers, and a bedroom with twin beds, suggesting a mix of original and updated elements. As a 25-year-old property, buyers should expect that some installations, such as the boiler, electrical wiring or window glazing, may be original or partially renewed; a technical survey is the standard way to verify this. The communal infrastructure of the urbanisation, including the gardens, fountains, lagoon-style pool and underground parking, is described as well maintained, which affects both living comfort and long-term value retention. Energy performance documentation is not stated in the available data. Overall, the finishing level should be assessed as solid early-2000s construction with selected upgrades, rather than contemporary new-build standards.
The asking price is fixed at €1,500,000. This is an existing, key-ready townhouse completed in 2000, so there is no price list or range of units as with a new-build project. The price reflects the position within a gated frontline-beach urbanisation in one of Marbella East's established communities, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, underground parking and communal facilities included. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), operate in a different segment and location class; a direct price comparison with those developments is not meaningful. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, community fees and any modernisation works.
Daily life here is organised around the beach and the gated community. The west-facing terraces receive sun from midday until sunset, which suits afternoon and evening use: meals outside, a swim in the lagoon-style communal pool, or the short walk through the communal gardens to the sand. The ground-floor living areas open onto a private patio and the small garden, connecting the interior directly with the outdoor space. The rhythm of the neighbourhood is residential rather than touristic, although the wider Los Monteros area sees seasonal visitor traffic given the 48 hotels and 12,606 beds registered in the vicinity. Practical errands are manageable on foot or by short drive: the source description mentions beachfront chiringuitos, a supermarket and public transport within walking distance. With 138 restaurants, 25 cafés, 29 pharmacies and 20 banks within 2 km, most daily needs are covered without leaving Marbella East. Hospital Costa del Sol and an international school are also cited as nearby in the existing description. The basement bedroom functions well as guest or staff accommodation, keeping the main floors for everyday family use. Because the terrain is flat with a gradient of only 0.4% to the beach, walking and cycling are realistic options. A car remains useful for reaching Marbella centre, golf courses or the airport, but it is not strictly necessary for daily essentials.
The surroundings combine frontline-beach living with access to a full urban infrastructure. Within 2 km there are 138 restaurants, 25 cafés, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 3 dentists, which means daily errands rarely require a long trip. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area, including Hospital Costa del Sol mentioned in the source description. Education options are extensive, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools registered, plus international schools such as the English International College at 3.6 km straight-line and the British International School at 6.8 km. Sports facilities include Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 3.7 km, a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion at 4.5 km and Polideportivo Francisco Norte at 4.7 km, all measured in a straight line. Public transport consists of 11 lines with 50 stops in the area, so bus travel to Marbella centre and along the coast is feasible. The neighbourhood itself is residential and gated, with the seasonal rhythm typical of Marbella East: quieter in winter, busier in July and August. Housing transactions in the area number around 4,399 per year, indicating an active and liquid local market.

Bahía de Marbella sits in Marbella East, the coastal zone between Marbella centre and Elviria. This positions the property a few minutes' drive from the historic centre and marina of Marbella, while remaining on the quieter, more residential eastern side of the town. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the location is close to the midpoint between Malaga city and Estepona, with the airport roughly 36 km straight-line to the north-east. Marbella East is characterised by established gated communities, beach clubs and golf courses, distinguishing it from the high-rise density of Torremolinos-Benalmádena and the more dispersed developments further east towards Fuengirola and Mijas.
The nearest beach is El Alicate at 2.6 km in a straight line, with direct access to the shoreline from the community itself according to the source description. Playa de la Bajadilla lies 3.6 km away. Three marinas fall within 3.2 to 3.4 km: Marina Marbella, Puerto Pesquero and Marina la Bajadilla. Golfers can reach 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, all as the crow flies. For electric vehicle owners, the Marbella Supercharger is 7.9 km distant. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 36 km away in a straight line, with Gibraltar about 60 km and Alicante-Elche far away at around 426 km. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 provide connections along the coast. With 11 public transport lines and 50 stops nearby, the location works without a private vehicle for routine trips, though a car broadens access to golf, Marbella centre and the airport.

The site sits at approximately 10 m above sea level with a gradient to the beach of just 0.4%, meaning the terrain is essentially flat and walking to the sea involves no significant climb. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, supporting outdoor use of terraces and the communal pool across most of the year. The swimming season extends to six months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly May through October. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and the west orientation of the terraces captures afternoon and evening sun, which is particularly pleasant outside the peak summer months. The immediate natural setting is the coastal strip of Marbella East, with landscaped communal gardens inside the urbanisation and sandy beach immediately beyond. No protected natural park lies directly adjacent according to the available data, so the natural experience here is defined by the shoreline and the planted grounds rather than mountain or countryside terrain.

Beach life is the central recreational asset of this location. El Alicate beach, 2.6 km away in a straight line, and the direct beach access from the community give residents daily use of the shoreline, while beachfront chiringuitos within walking distance provide seasonal dining. The three nearby marinas at 3.2 to 3.4 km offer mooring-related activity, strolls and waterfront dining. Golf is well represented: Greenlife Golf facilities at 5.1 and 5.2 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 6.1 km cover both practice and full rounds, all distances measured as the crow flies. Organised sport is available at three municipal sports centres within about 5 km. The communal lagoon-style pool and gardens add on-site recreation for days when leaving the urbanisation is unnecessary. For broader leisure, Marbella centre with its old town, promenade and dining scene lies a short drive away. The concentration of 48 hotels and 12,606 tourist beds in the wider area signals the recreational density of this stretch of coast, busiest in summer and calmer from November to April.

Within Marbella East, Bahía de Marbella belongs to the established frontline-beach communities along Los Monteros Playa, a stretch that also includes neighbourhoods such as El Rosario, Elviria and Los Monteros itself. Compared with these adjacent areas, the position here is defined by direct beach access from within a gated urbanisation, a feature that inland urbanisations in El Rosario or la Mairena cannot offer, as those sit at higher elevations further from the shore with compensating views. The price point of €1,500,000 for a four-bedroom townhouse reflects the frontline premium of this specific micro-location; comparable townhouses one or two kilometres inland typically transact at lower figures, while detached villas in the same beachside belt command considerably more. Against the wider Costa del Sol, this location is more established and service-dense than eastern alternatives such as Torre del Mar, where new-build projects like Aquamar start from €269,950, or Estepona, where Etherna Homes 2 starts from €321,000. Those developments offer new construction at a fraction of the price, but in locations with fewer international services and longer travel times to Marbella. Mijas-based projects such as Lantana Residencial, from €205,000, sit in a different market segment altogether. The practical trade-off for buyers comparing this townhouse with new-build alternatives is threefold: age of construction against price, frontline position against distance from the sea, and a mature community with existing infrastructure against newly developed surroundings. The Marbella East market shows substantial activity, with roughly 4,399 housing transactions per year in the area, which supports liquidity for resale. Proximity to international schools, healthcare and 11 public transport lines further distinguishes this pocket of the coast from more peripheral new-build zones.
