This completed duplex of 127 m² forms part of Marbella House, a residential complex of 270 apartments built in 1990 between Calle Ricardo Soriano and the Marbella seafront promenade. The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a terrace and balcony, a private garage space and a storage room. Situated on the second floor with lift access, it lies approximately 740 metres from Playa de la Bajadilla and within walking distance of supermarkets, pharmacies and public transport. The complex includes communal gardens, a swimming pool, a gym, padel courts and 24-hour security. The asking price is €850,000.
Placed against comparable Marbella offerings, this duplex occupies a different market segment from nearby new developments. Almazara Views (from €600,000), Origin Marbella (from €645,000) and Breeze (from €690,000) all list at lower entry prices, but each sits at a distance from the centre and beach that this property does not: here the sea is a 740-metre flat walk and the town's full service network, 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies and the bus system within two kilometres, is on the doorstep. Buyers choosing between these options are effectively trading new-build construction standards for centrality. The 1990 fabric means the duplex lacks current thermal and acoustic codes and carries no stated energy certificate, whereas new developments typically deliver A or B ratings and modern insulation. Conversely, the established complex offers facilities rarely matched in new builds at this price: two padel courts, saunas, a gym with changing rooms, lifeguard service and 24-hour security within a 270-unit community that funds their upkeep. At roughly €6,700 per m², pricing sits at the upper band for Marbella resales, justified by the coastal-central position rather than by specification. Compared with hillside or golf-valley alternatives in Nueva Andalucía, six to eight kilometres inland, this location eliminates the daily drive to the beach, shops and schools but forgoes panoramic views and lower density. Within Marbella's 4,743 annual transactions, central beachside duplexes of this type with garage and storage included form a limited and consistently traded segment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established urban block between Marbella's main commercial street and the Mediterranean. Playa de la Bajadilla is roughly 740 metres away on a flat route with a 1.4% gradient. The fishing port and marina lie just over a kilometre to the east, while the historic centre is a short walk west. A supermarket sits 234 metres away and a pharmacy directly beside the entrance.
The duplex suits a household seeking year-round coastal living with services on foot. Two bedrooms and 127 m² accommodate a couple or small family. Communal facilities, pool, gym, padel courts, saunas, reduce the need for external memberships. Included parking and storage address practical car-based needs, while the east-west orientation provides sun exposure across morning and afternoon on the terrace and balcony.
This is not a new-build project. The complex was completed in 1990 to a design by architect Miguel Oliver, using prefabricated concrete elements arranged in recognisable four-storey blocks with white façades. The property is ready for immediate occupation, subject to purchase formalities. Interior photography shows a modernised kitchen and living areas, indicating renovation work has been carried out within the existing 1990 structure.
The property offers two bedrooms rather than three or more. It is a duplex within a 270-unit complex, not a detached or semi-detached villa, and has no private pool or private garden. The building dates from 1990, so construction standards and energy performance predate current regulations; no energy certificate rating is stated in the available data. Golf courses require a drive of six kilometres or more. Sea views are partial rather than frontline.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple relocating permanently who want to dispense with a car for daily errands will find the supermarket, pharmacy, health centre and bus stops within a short walk, with 50 public transport stops served by 11 lines across the municipality. Retirees seeking a manageable home with lift access and adapted exterior circulation may value the second-floor position and the flat 1.4% gradient route to the beach. Buyers wanting a lock-up-and-leave second residence benefit from 24-hour security and concierge-controlled access, meaning the unit can stand empty for months without practical concerns. A household with one child fits the two-bedroom layout, particularly given the presence of 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in Marbella, including the British International School 2.2 km away and the English International College 8.2 km away. The property is less suitable for buyers requiring three or more bedrooms, a private garden or pool, or frontline beach frontage, these requirements point towards other segments of the market. It also suits buyers prioritising an established, completed product over off-plan purchasing: the 1990 construction is finished, renovated interiors are visible in the photography, and there is no construction delay or delivery risk. Investors should note that central Marbella recorded 4,743 property transactions, indicating an active resale market, though no rental yield figures are provided in the available data.
The complex was designed by architect Miguel Oliver and constructed in 1990 using prefabricated concrete elements, a construction method of its era that produces the recognisable four-storey blocks with white façades and chimneys characteristic of Marbella House. The building fabric therefore predates the technical requirements of Spain's current building code, including modern thermal insulation and acoustic standards; no energy performance certificate rating is included in the source data. Internally, however, the photography indicates substantial modernisation. The kitchen features marble worktops with an integrated sink; the living room contains contemporary furnishing with a green sofa; a breakfast nook with built-in seating is present; and the dining-living area is arranged around a modern media wall. Fitted wardrobes are installed throughout the bedrooms. Climate control consists of an individual heat pump providing both hot and cold air, supplemented by air conditioning units, an individual system rather than a centralised community installation, which gives the occupant direct control over running costs. The property includes a terrace and balcony with views towards the sea, garden and pool. Practical storage is addressed through a private storage room (trastero) and an included garage space within the secure complex. Condition is described in the listing as excellent, with the communal areas, gardens, pool areas and internal circulation, reported to be maintained to a consistent standard. Buyers concerned about community infrastructure should verify the building's community fees, reserve fund and any planned works through the standard due diligence process, as 35-year-old buildings typically carry periodic maintenance obligations.
The property is listed at €850,000. On a built-area basis this equates to approximately €6,700 per m², which is consistent with central Marbella resale pricing for a two-bedroom duplex with garage and storage included. Nearby comparable new developments start lower, Almazara Views from €600,000, Origin Marbella from €645,000, Breeze from €690,000, though these are typically located further from the centre and beach. The price here reflects position within the town rather than new construction. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and ready for transfer following standard purchase procedures.
Daily life at this address is organised around proximity. The supermarket sits within 234 metres and a pharmacy is effectively at the doorstep, which means routine shopping can be done on foot in minutes. The nearest health centre is under one kilometre away, and a hospital is located roughly one kilometre from the complex. The beach at Playa de la Bajadilla, about 740 metres distant along a flat route, functions as an extension of the neighbourhood: morning walks along the promenade, afternoon swims during the roughly five-month season when sea temperatures hold above 20°C, and evening strolls towards the fishing port or the old town. The east and west orientation of the duplex means the terrace receives morning sun while the balcony catches afternoon light, a practical arrangement for outdoor use across the day. Within the complex itself, residents use the communal pool, the gym with changing rooms, two padel courts and two saunas. Lifeguard service operates at the pool and 24-hour security with concierge controls access for both vehicles and pedestrians. The immediate surroundings are urban rather than resort-like: Calle Ricardo Soriano carries through-traffic as Marbella's main artery, and the density of restaurants, 137 within a two-kilometre radius, reflects a central location rather than a secluded one. For households that value walkability above seclusion, this trade-off is central to how the property functions. The second-floor position with lift and adapted exterior access also makes the unit workable for residents with reduced mobility, which is comparatively uncommon in older Costa del Sol apartment stock.
The neighbourhood layer around Marbella House is dense and service-oriented. Within a two-kilometre radius, the environment counts 137 restaurants, 25 cafés, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 3 dentists, figures that describe a fully urbanised town centre rather than a suburban or resort fringe. Three sports centres lie within 600 metres (Polideportivo Francisco Norte at 200 m, Polideportivo Riohuelo at 400 m, Supera Miraflores at 600 m), and public swimming pools are available at 600 m and 1.1 km. Marinas cluster to the east: Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 500 metres, Marina la Bajadilla at 1.2 km and the fishing port at 1.3 km. The promenade connects these on foot. Traffic on Calle Ricardo Soriano is the principal nuisance factor inherent to the location; the complex's position between this street and the seafront places the entrance on a busy axis while the rear orientation faces towards the beach. Parking is resolved internally through the included garage space, avoiding the general scarcity of street parking in central Marbella. Electric vehicle owners should note the nearest charging points are 2.1 km away, with a Tesla Supercharger at 3.3 km. Noise, density and footfall increase in summer, when the municipality's 52 hotels and 12,781 registered beds fill the coastal zone.
The map shows the duplex's position between Marbella's main street and the seafront promenade. Playa de la Bajadilla and the marina lie a short walk east; the old town and Playa de la Fontanilla sit to the west. The flat coastal strip and dense service network around the property are visible in the immediate surroundings.

Marbella records approximately 3,851 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging between 12°C and 26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around five months. The property sits at 31 metres above sea level on terrain with a 1.4% slope towards the beach, meaning the walk to the coast involves no meaningful incline; this is a notable practical difference from hillside locations elsewhere in the municipality such as Nueva Andalucía or the Benahavís corridor. The Sierra Blanca mountain range behind Marbella shelters the town from northerly winds, contributing to the mild winter averages. The east-west orientation of the duplex places the terrace in morning sun and the balcony in afternoon and evening sun, allowing outdoor use across the day for most of the year.
