This detached villa is situated in a quiet residential area of Marbella, within walking distance of the beach and close to the town centre. The property offers 531 m² of living space on a 1,344 m² plot, distributed over two floors plus a basement. There are seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and a guest toilet. Built in 1984 and maintained in excellent condition, the villa has a private swimming pool, landscaped gardens, a barbecue area and a south orientation. The asking price is €3,000,000. A tourist licence is in place, allowing both permanent residential use and rental use. The property is key-ready.
Within Marbella's villa market above three million euro, this property competes directly with new-build projects such as Mandaluz 1 (from €3,350,000), Sirocco Villas (from €3,400,000) and Andara 2 (from €3,500,000). At a fixed €3,000,000, it undercuts all three on entry price, but the comparison is not one of equals: those developments deliver contemporary construction standards, developer warranties and modern energy performance, while this villa dates from 1984. The trade-off is size and immediacy. New-build villas in this bracket typically offer around 300–400 m² of living space; here the buyer receives 531 m² plus an established 1,344 m² garden with mature planting, a pool already in service, and keys on day one rather than a delivery date of one or two years. Location also differs. Several comparable new projects sit in the golf valley or on hillsides west of town, where a car is required for almost every errand. This villa stands in the urban fabric, with a supermarket 234 metres away, a hospital under one kilometre and the beach within a flat kilometre's walk, a rarity in this price segment. The tourist licence adds a dimension most new-build developments cannot immediately match, since many modern communities restrict short-term letting. For a buyer weighing space, walkability and rental flexibility against the appeal of new construction, this property defines one end of that equation; for a buyer prioritising contemporary technical standards and shared amenities, the new-build alternatives remain the reference point. Roughly €5,650 per m² of living area places it below typical new-build pricing per square metre in central Marbella, consistent with its age and condition profile.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an urban part of Marbella, roughly 738 metres as the crow flies from Playa de la Bajadilla. A supermarket lies 234 metres away, a pharmacy 8 metres, and a hospital under one kilometre. The setting combines residential calm with walkable access to shops, schools and sports centres. The AP-7 and A-7 corridors towards Puerto Banús, Estepona and Málaga are reached by car.
The house is arranged for large households and extended families: seven bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a guest toilet. The living room is divided into separate zones, and the kitchen includes a laundry area and pantry. Outside, the covered terrace, pool and barbecue area extend daily living into the garden for most of the year. Marble flooring and air conditioning are installed throughout.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1984 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home in excellent condition, with a fixed asking price of €3,000,000. Buyers therefore avoid construction-phase risk and waiting times; equally, there is no developer payment structure or off-plan reservation process. The tourist licence is already in place.
The property does not offer a gated community with shared facilities, a modern energy performance certificate, or contemporary new-build technical standards. Built in 1984, some installations may predate current regulations. Only one bathroom serves as an en-suite despite seven bedrooms. No lift is mentioned for the multi-level layout, and no garage details are provided in the available data.
This villa fits several recognisable situations. A large or multi-generational family that has outgrown apartments will find the seven-bedroom layout and zoned living space directly relevant, with schools and sports facilities within walking distance. Buyers relocating permanently to Marbella benefit from the hospital under one kilometre away, fifty public transport stops across eleven lines, and daily shopping on foot. Households seeking a second home that can also generate income can use the tourist licence for holiday rentals, which is not a given at every address in Marbella. Those who prefer established gardens and mature plots over new-build waiting times will appreciate the landscaped grounds and immediate availability. The property is less obvious for buyers wanting a modern energy-efficient new build, a gated resort community with shared pools and spas, or a frontline-golf location; the nearest courses lie six kilometres or more away. It also suits buyers who value urban walkability over seclusion: this is a residential street near the town centre, not an isolated hillside estate.
The villa was built in 1984 and is presented in excellent condition, with several features indicating a well-maintained and periodically updated property. Marble flooring runs through the interior, a finish associated with the higher end of that construction era and durable under daily use. Climate control is twofold: air conditioning for the warm months and a fireplace for cooler winter evenings, which matches Marbella's mild but not tropical winter climate. The kitchen is fitted with a double sink and is supported by a separate utility room, pantry and laundry area, a practical arrangement for a household of this size. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and at least one en-suite bathroom. Windows in the bedroom photographed are wooden, which suits the period of the house. Outside, the covered terrace, private pool and barbecue area are established rather than newly installed. Buyers should note that a 1984 building will not automatically meet current technical codes on insulation, glazing standards or electrical capacity; an independent technical survey is the standard step to verify the condition of installations, pool equipment and any renovations carried out over four decades.
The asking price is fixed at €3,000,000 for the property as a whole. This buys 531 m² of built living space on a 1,344 m² plot, which works out at roughly €5,650 per m² of living area. Within Marbella's market, this sits below the starting prices of comparable new-build villa projects such as Mandaluz 1 (from €3,350,000), Sirocco Villas (from €3,400,000) and Andara 2 (from €3,500,000), which reflects the 1984 construction year against contemporary developments. Availability is immediate: the villa is key-ready, so there is no delivery schedule to wait for. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs and any modernisation they wish to undertake.
Daily life at this address revolves around the combination of a large private plot and genuinely walkable urban infrastructure. The morning routine can be run entirely on foot: a pharmacy 8 metres from the door, a supermarket about 234 metres away, and sports centres such as Polideportivo Francisco Norte within 200 metres. The Bajadilla beach and the fishing port lie roughly a kilometre away, close enough for an evening walk without needing the car. Inside, the house separates functions clearly: a living room divided into distinct zones absorbs family life, a kitchen with pantry and laundry room handles the practical side, and seven bedrooms allow households to grow or host guests. The basement adds flexible space. Outside, the south orientation and covered terrace make the garden usable from early spring to late autumn, and the barbecue area anchors outdoor meals during Marbella's long warm season, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12 to 26°C. For households that alternate between permanent residence and seasonal use, the tourist licence adds a rental option for vacant periods. The urban setting means activity year-round, not only in summer.
The immediate surroundings are urban and fully serviced. Within two kilometres, the area intelligence counts 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés, which describes a neighbourhood where almost no daily errand requires a car. A hospital sits 996 metres away and five health centres operate across the city. Education is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in Marbella, and the British International School about 2.2 km away by straight-line distance. Sports facilities are unusually dense: three sports centres lie within 600 metres, and the city counts 415 sports facilities in total. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is roughly one kilometre away over flat terrain (a 1.4% gradient), and two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen and Marina la Bajadilla, lie within 1.3 km. An EV charging point is 2.1 km away, with a Tesla Supercharger at 3.3 km. The nearest golf courses sit about six kilometres away, so golfers will drive. With 159,786 inhabitants, Marbella functions year-round, avoiding the seasonal emptiness of smaller resort villages.
The map shows the villa's position between Marbella's town centre and the Bajadilla beach area. Note the density of markers within one kilometre: supermarkets, pharmacies, sports centres and marinas cluster around the address, while the golf courses sit visibly further west in the golf valley.

Marbella sits centrally on the Costa del Sol, 47 km from Málaga city and its international airport at 39 km straight-line. Puerto Banús and Estepona lie to the west along the AP-7, both reachable within a short drive. Within the region's villa segment, this property occupies the urban end of the spectrum: walkable to town, beach and services, in contrast to the hillside estates of Benahavís or the gated communities along the golf valley, which trade convenience for seclusion. Málaga, Algeciras and Jerez de la Frontera lie at 47, 66 and 113 km respectively, defining the wider travel radius.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. Beaches: Playa de la Bajadilla at roughly 0.7–1.0 km, Playa de Casablanca at 2.4 km and Playa de la Fontanilla at 2.9 km.

Marbella records an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly averages between 12°C in winter and 26°C in summer, one of the most moderate profiles on the Spanish coast. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or more, lasts about five months. The town sits at just 31 metres above sea level, and the route to the beach has a 1.4% gradient, which means flat walks to the sea. The villa itself offers layered views over sea, mountains, garden, pool and the urban surroundings, so the changing light over both coastline and hills is part of daily life. The Mediterranean climate makes the garden, covered terrace and barbecue area usable across most of the year, though July and August afternoons are hot enough that air conditioning, which is installed, becomes relevant.
