This fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in the Cabopino area on the Marbella coastline, within a gated residential complex with communal pool and gardens. The property measures 157 m² of living space, is south-facing with sea views, and was originally built in 1983 and comprehensively modernised since. It is offered key-ready and fully furnished, with a fixed asking price of €645,000. The apartment holds a tourist licence, allowing use for holiday rental purposes. Distances below are straight-line unless stated otherwise.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Cabopino sits between Marbella (13 km) and Calahonda, on the eastern Marbella coast. The nearest beach, La Luna-Royale Beach, lies 2.5 km away, and the marina of Puerto Cabopino is 3.3 km from the complex. The area is urbanised rather than rural, with restaurants, a pharmacy and a bank within 2 km. The apartment stands at approximately 209 m elevation, which involves a steep gradient of about 7.9% down towards the coast.
The layout suits two occupants or a small family: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living and dining area with an integrated kitchen and central island. A covered terrace extends the living space outdoors, oriented south for daylight throughout the day. Practical features include fitted wardrobes, double glazing, air conditioning, electric shutters and a lift in the building. The communal pool and garden serve daily relaxation without private maintenance obligations.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment dates from 1983 and has been fully renovated to a contemporary standard, delivered key-ready. Completion of the original construction was in 1983; the renovation is finished and no further works are scheduled by the seller. Buyers acquire an existing home in ready condition, with immediate availability subject to the purchase process.
The property has no private garden or private pool; outdoor space is limited to the covered terrace, with communal facilities shared among residents. Parking is on-street only, with no private garage or storage room included. There are two bedrooms, which limits use for larger households. The building's 1983 construction date means the structure predates current new-build standards. No cadastral or energy details are disclosed on this page.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a holiday home that requires no works, key-ready, furnished, with a lift and air conditioning, can use it from the first week of ownership. The tourist licence makes it equally relevant for buyers who want the option of holiday letting under local regulations, as the licence is already in place rather than pending. It also suits a couple planning longer stays or semi-permanent residence: two bathrooms allow guests or family visits without sharing facilities, and the nearby amenities, restaurants, pharmacy, bank, cover daily needs within 2 km. The communal pool and garden remove the maintenance burden that comes with a private villa. Less obvious situations also apply. Buyers prioritising sea views and southern light in an established urbanisation will find the orientation and terrace consistent with that requirement. Conversely, buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or private parking will find the property outside those criteria. The 1983 construction date matters to buyers who specifically want new-build standards; those buyers should compare against new developments elsewhere on the coast. Finally, households without a car should weigh the 2.5 km distance to the beach, the steep gradient, and the 9.3 km distance to the nearest train station in Fuengirola.
The apartment has undergone a complete renovation, which is reflected in the documented finishing level. The interior features a modern open-plan kitchen fully integrated into the living area with a central island, marble flooring in the living room, and a contemporary bathroom with a freestanding bathtub. Underfloor heating is installed in the bathroom, a comfort feature relevant during the cooler months of the Andalusian winter. Technical features include air conditioning, electric shutters, double glazing and fitted wardrobes. Double glazing combined with the air conditioning provides year-round climate control, which matters given an average annual temperature of 17.8°C with warm summers. The building itself has a lift, which simplifies daily use and removals. The property is delivered fully furnished, which reduces initial costs for buyers intending to use it immediately or rent it out. The communal areas, pool, garden and gated access, are maintained collectively, and the complex includes an on-site restaurant. Two contextual points deserve mention. First, the building dates from 1983; the renovation applies to the interior, while structural elements correspond to the original construction period. Buyers attaching weight to construction-year standards may wish to commission a technical survey. Second, parking is on-street, so no covered or reserved space is included. The overall finishing level is documented as excellent condition, with the renovation completed rather than partial.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €645,000, not a from-price. It includes 157 m² of living space, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a covered terrace, full furnishing and a tourist licence. For context, new-build apartments elsewhere on the coast are advertised from lower starting prices: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000. Those figures concern different locations, sizes and project types, so a direct comparison requires accounting for the Cabopino address, the renovation level and the included licence. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase procedure.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a renovated interior organised around an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space with a central island. The south orientation brings daylight into the main rooms for most of the day, and the covered terrace allows outdoor use in both warm and cooler months. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout works for a couple, a small family or two guests staying independently of each other. The bathroom includes underfloor heating, which adds comfort outside the summer season. The setting is an urbanised, gated complex with a communal pool and gardens. Mornings can begin on the terrace; the surrounding area offers 19 restaurants, two cafés, a pharmacy and a bank within a 2 km radius, so basic daily needs are met locally without travelling into Marbella. The nearest beach is 2.5 km away as the crow flies, reachable in a few minutes by car given the steep 7.9% gradient between the complex and the shore, a factor that makes walking back uphill more demanding. The area functions year-round, supported by five health centres and a broader service network between Calahonda and Marbella. Tourism is significant, 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds in the wider area, meaning summer months bring noticeably more activity, while the off-season is quieter. For groceries and larger shopping, a car remains the practical option, as the nearest train station is 9.3 km away in Fuengirola, although four public transport lines with 48 stops serve the locality.
The surroundings combine an established residential urbanisation with a strong leisure infrastructure. Within roughly 1 km, three sports facilities are available: Finca Naundrup at 0.7 km, Club del Sol at 0.9 km and La Siesta Golf Club at 1.0 km. Golfers can reach El Soto Golf at 2.4 km and two further courses, a par-3 course and Cabopino golf, at approximately 2.6 km, giving five options within a short drive. Beaches lie 2.5 km away as the crow flies: La Luna-Royale Beach and two Calahonda beaches. The route between the apartment and the coast involves a 7.9% gradient, so most residents use the car for beach trips. The marina at Puerto Cabopino, 3.3 km away, functions as the social centre of the area with its waterfront restaurants. For daily needs, the 2 km radius contains 19 restaurants, two cafés, one pharmacy and one bank, sufficient for everyday living, though larger shopping requires a trip to Marbella (13 km) or Fuengirola. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the wider area. Education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools regionally, with the English International College at 7 km for families seeking international schooling. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.8 km away, is a nearby destination for walks.
The map shows the apartment's position in the hills above Cabopino, roughly 2.5 km from the beach and 3.3 km from the marina. Marbella lies 13 km west and Fuengirola 9.9 km east. Note the elevation: at 209 m, the coastline below is reached by road rather than an easy walk.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cabopino occupies a specific niche on the Costa del Sol: a small, marina-centred enclave between the Calahonda urbanisation and Marbella proper, 13 km from Marbella and 39 km from Málaga. It sits east of Marbella's golden mile and west of Fuengirola, positioning residents within reach of both, Fuengirola's train station lies 9.3 km away. The area trades the density of Marbella centre for a quieter, more residential character, while tourism remains substantial, with 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds in the surrounding region. Housing transactions in the area total about 4,743 per year, indicating an active resale market around this address.
By car, the position is practical: Marbella is 13 km away and Málaga city 39 km, both reachable via the coastal A-7/N-340 corridor. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 27 km as the crow flies, making flights straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 69 km. The travel times by road will exceed the straight-line figures, particularly in summer traffic. Public transport exists but is not the primary mode here: four lines serve the area with 48 stops, while the nearest train station is in Fuengirola, 9.3 km away. For most residents a car is the practical standard for beach visits, shopping and airport transfers. Key amenities at a glance, measured as the crow flies: beach 2.5 km, marina 3.3 km, golf 1.0–2.6 km, sports centres 0.7–0.9 km, international school 7.0 km, Marbella 13 km, Málaga 39 km. The proximity of golf and sports facilities within 1 km is a distinguishing accessibility feature of this specific location.

The climate data supports year-round residence. The average annual temperature is 17.8°C, typical for the western Costa del Sol, with mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, concentrated in summer and early autumn; outside that window the communal pool and sea swimming are less comfortable without heating or wetsuits. The apartment stands at 209 m above sea level. This elevation gives the sea views documented for the property, but also creates the 7.9% gradient towards the beach, steep enough that walking to the coast means a demanding return climb. In practical terms, the elevation tempers summer heat slightly compared with the immediate shoreline. Natural surroundings include the protected Artola Dunes near Cabopino, and the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas 3.8 km away for coastal walks. The Mediterranean climate with abundant sun hours means the south-facing terrace is usable for most of the year, with electric shutters and air conditioning managing the warmer months.

The nearest beaches, La Luna-Royale Beach and the two Calahonda beaches, are all 2.5 km away in a straight line. The wider region holds two Blue Flag beaches, Casablanca and El Cable, reflecting the water quality along this stretch of coast. Beach outings require a short drive given the elevation difference. Golf is the strongest recreational asset here: La Siesta Golf Club at 1.0 km, El Soto Golf at 2.4 km, and Cabopino golf plus a par-3 course around 2.6 km. This concentration within a few minutes' drive is notable even by Costa del Sol standards. Sports centres at 0.7 km and 0.9 km add tennis and fitness options. The marina at Puerto Cabopino (3.3 km) provides the area's social focal point with waterfront dining, while Fuengirola's larger marina is 9.9 km away. Within 2 km there are 19 restaurants, giving varied dining without travelling far. For evening or weekend outings, Marbella at 13 km expands the options considerably.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment represents a different product category from current new-build offerings. Aquamar in Torre del Mar is listed from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are from-prices for new construction, typically starting at smaller unit sizes; this property is an existing 157 m² apartment at a fixed price of €645,000, approximately €4,110 per m² of living space, delivered renovated and furnished. The comparison illustrates the regional price structure: Cabopino, as part of the Marbella municipality, commands a premium over eastern Costa del Sol locations such as Torre del Mar and over inland-oriented Mijas schemes. Buyers choosing this address pay for the Marbella postcode, the sea views from an elevated position and the tourist licence, rather than for new construction. Buyers choosing the new-build alternatives pay less per unit but acquire in locations further from Marbella, generally without a licence or immediate rental option. The immediate surroundings reinforce the position: five golf courses within 2.6 km, two sports centres within 1 km, and a marina at 3.3 km. Few coastal locations on this stretch combine that density of leisure infrastructure with a residential urbanisation character. Offsetting factors are consistent with the price level: on-street parking only, a 1983 building structure, and a steep walk to the beach. The regional market around the address records roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year, indicating active liquidity for resale in the area, relevant for buyers weighing eventual exit options.
