This completed penthouse is situated in Marbella, Málaga, within walking distance of the beach and everyday amenities. The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 120 m² of living space, built in 1998 (renovation reported in 2022) and delivered in finished condition. The urban setting places a supermarket approximately 234 metres away, a pharmacy within metres, and Playa de la Bajadilla roughly 738 metres from the door. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies around 39 km away. The municipality records approximately 3,851 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C, supporting a five-month swimming season along this section of the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an established urban area of Marbella with services reachable on foot or by bicycle. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is under a kilometre away, and the terrain towards the coast is essentially flat at a 1.4% gradient. Healthcare, retail and public transport stops are all within a compact radius, reducing dependence on a car for daily errands.
Functionally, the penthouse provides two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms across a single-floor layout of 120 m², suited to a couple, a small family or use as a second residence. Communal pool and garden access, a private parking space and lift access are included. The southeast orientation supports natural light in the principal rooms during much of the day.
This is not a new-build development. The building dates from 1998, with a renovation reported in 2022, and the construction status is recorded as complete. Consequently there is no off-plan purchase phase, no staged payments during construction and no waiting period: the property is available in its current finished state, with delivery dates not applicable.
Based on the recorded data, the property does not offer a private pool, private garden, additional bedrooms beyond two, or a private garage beyond the single allocated space listed. No private outdoor kitchen, home office room or underfloor heating is documented. The building's 1998 origin means energy performance may not match current new-build standards unless evidenced by an official certificate.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave second residence on the Costa del Sol benefits from the single-floor layout, two en-suite bathrooms, lift access, included parking and communal maintenance of pool and gardens. Buyers who prioritise being able to walk to shops, pharmacies and the beach, rather than depending on a car for every errand, will find the recorded distances directly relevant: supermarket at 234 metres, pharmacy within metres, hospital under one kilometre. It also suits permanent residents who want urban Marbella convenience without resort premiums: the municipal sports centres at 200 to 600 metres, public pools, and 11 transport lines support year-round living rather than purely seasonal use. Retirees or downsizers may value the flat 1.4% gradient route to the beach and the absence of stairs within the dwelling. The property is less obviously suited to households needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a large private garden, none of which the recorded data provides. Buyers specifically wanting new-build energy certification or off-plan payment structures should note the 1998 construction date and completed status. For a buyer weighing a finished, centrally located resale penthouse against lower-priced new-build alternatives on the outskirts, the trade-off is essentially immediate walkable amenity and sea proximity against newer construction and more space per euro elsewhere.
The building originates from 1998, with a renovation reported in 2022, a factor that materially shapes the interior specification. According to the listing material, the renovation introduced contemporary finishes alongside Miele kitchen appliances, and both bathrooms function as en-suites. The photographic record shows a modern white kitchen, a bedroom with upholstered headboard and curtain dressing, and a contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower and mirrored vanity, consistent with a recent refurbishment rather than an original 1998 condition. Structurally, a 1998 building on the Marbella coast will typically reflect the construction standards of that period. Buyers should request the ITE (technical building inspection) report where applicable, the community financial records, and the energy performance certificate, since the recorded data does not specify an energy label. Practical documented features include a lift and an alarm system; the property is offered fully furnished, which reduces initial set-up costs but should be assessed for condition during viewing. Technical points worth verifying include: the condition of the roof and facade given the building's age and coastal exposure; the insulation quality of windows and glazing, relevant to both comfort and summer cooling costs; plumbing and electrical systems, particularly whether these were renewed during the 2022 renovation or predate it; and the specifications of the communal pool plant and community maintenance regime, since communal pool and garden upkeep is funded through community fees. The private garage space and storage room are documented inclusions. Overall, the specification reflects a renovated older building rather than a new-build warranty package, and due diligence should follow that distinction.
The property is listed at €750,000 as a completed, furnished penthouse with two bedrooms and two bathrooms over 120 m². In the local context, comparable new-build projects in Marbella start from approximately €527,500 (The Grove), €540,000 (Soleil) and €564,375 (Terrazas de Guadaiza 2). The price of this property reflects a combination of factors: a finished, immediately usable home, a central walking-distance position relative to services and the beach, and included parking and storage. Municipality-wide transaction data records 4,743 property transactions, indicating an active resale and new-build market. Prices are always indicative and subject to negotiation and market movement.
Daily life around this penthouse is shaped by its position inside Marbella's built-up coastal fabric rather than in a resort or an isolated urbanisation. The front door opens onto an environment where a pharmacy sits within metres, a supermarket lies roughly 234 metres away, and a hospital is recorded at under one kilometre. This density means that groceries, medical appointments and everyday errands can realistically be handled on foot, a pattern that distinguishes central Marbella living from developments further east or inland. The rhythm of the day follows the coast. Playa de la Bajadilla is approximately 738 metres away on a flat route, which places a morning swim or an evening walk along the shoreline within a ten-minute walk. The southeast-facing orientation means the main living spaces and terrace receive light through the morning and early afternoon, while the single-floor, corner layout keeps circulation simple for residents and guests alike. Inside the community, residents share a communal swimming pool and gardens, and the property includes a private parking space and storage. Two en-suite bathrooms allow both bedrooms to function independently, which has practical consequences for hosting visitors or for two adults sharing the home. The wider area records 137 restaurants, 25 cafés and 20 banks within a two-kilometre radius, alongside municipal sports centres at 200 to 600 metres and public swimming facilities nearby. Eleven public transport lines and 50 stops serve the municipality. The overall picture is one of an established, service-rich neighbourhood where the car becomes optional for most daily needs, with the beach functioning as an extension of the local living space.
The immediate environment is urban Marbella with an unusually high service density. Within a two-kilometre radius the data records 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés, figures that translate into genuine walkability for dining, banking and daily shopping. The municipal sports centre Polideportivo Francisco Norte sits approximately 200 metres away, with Riohuelo at 400 metres and the Supera Miraflores facility at 600 metres, providing gym and pool access without a drive. Beaches are the anchor of local life. Playa de la Bajadilla lies roughly 738 metres away on a flat route; Playa de Casablanca and Playa de la Fontanilla extend the coastline within three kilometres. The marina Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen is about 500 metres away, with the fishing port and La Bajadilla marina slightly further. Five Blue Flag beaches serve the municipality, including La Fontanilla and El Faro. Healthcare access is documented at under one kilometre to a hospital, with five health centres across the municipality. Education provision includes 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School approximately 2.2 km away. Transport runs on 11 lines with 50 stops. An EV charging point is recorded at 2.1 km. For residents, this configuration means the area functions fully outside the summer season, services serve a permanent population of roughly 159,786 rather than a seasonal resort economy.
The map shows the property's position within central Marbella, with Playa de la Bajadilla under a kilometre to the south, the marina district nearby, and the A-7 coastal corridor connecting west towards Estepona and east towards Málaga and the airport. Supermarket, pharmacy and healthcare markers cluster within walking distance, illustrating the service density of this neighbourhood on the Costa del Sol.

Marbella functions as the administrative centre of the eastern Costa del Sol, positioned between Málaga city (47 km) and Estepona further west. Within this frame, the property sits in the central urban fabric rather than in the golf-oriented developments of Nueva Andalucía or the villa districts of the Golden Mile. That position trades landscaped resort surroundings for walkable access to services, transport and the town's beaches. Algeciras lies 66 km west and Jerez de la Frontera 113 km beyond, while Gibraltar Airport is roughly 58 km away, positioning the property for both AGP and GIB flight access.

The location sits at approximately 31 metres above sea level with a gentle 1.4% slope towards the coast, meaning no significant climbing on foot routes to the beach. Historical climate data for Marbella records approximately 3,851 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging between roughly 12°C and 26°C. Sea temperatures support a swimming season of approximately five months at or above 20°C, generally spanning late May to early October. The Sierra Blanca foothills behind Marbella shelter the coastal strip, contributing to the municipality's comparatively mild winter temperatures by Andalusian standards. For residents, these figures translate into outdoor use of the terrace and communal areas for most of the year, with the southeast orientation providing morning sun in winter and manageable exposure in midsummer. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months; the summer half-year is predominantly dry.

Set against current alternatives in Marbella, this property occupies a different segment from the headline new-build projects. The Grove starts from approximately €527,500, Soleil from €540,000 and Terrazas de Guadaiza 2 from €564,375, all notably below this property's €750,000 figure. The comparison is not purely a price-per-square-metre exercise. Those projects typically trade central walkability for modern construction, off-plan purchase terms, contemporary energy performance and community facilities built to current standards, often in locations where a car is required for daily errands. This penthouse takes the opposite position: a 1998 building renovated in 2022, in a location where a supermarket sits 234 metres away, a pharmacy within metres and a hospital under one kilometre. For buyers whose priority is living without a car, or letting guests manage without one, few new-build options in Marbella match this service density. The beach at roughly 738 metres on a flat route, plus marinas within 1.3 km, reinforces the coastal-urban character. The premium over the comparable projects therefore purchases location and immediacy rather than novelty. Buyers comparing the two paths should weigh three factors: first, the energy performance and warranty position of a 2022-renovated 1998 building versus a new-build with current certification; second, community fees and reserve funds for an ageing building versus a newly established community; and third, the resale liquidity of central Marbella, where the municipality recorded 4,743 transactions in the reference period, indicating a deep and active market. Neither path dominates the other, the decision hinges on whether walkable, finished coastal-urban living or modern specification at a lower entry price carries more weight in the buyer's situation.
