This modern one-bedroom apartment is located in the El Ingenio area of San Pedro de Alcántara, within the Cortijo Blanco district of Marbella municipality. Built in 2023, the property forms part of a small building containing only four apartments. It offers 52 m² of living space with one bathroom, a south-facing orientation and a light-filled open-plan living area with a designer kitchen. The apartment is delivered fully furnished and key-ready. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies approximately 200 metres away as the crow flies, with the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara and its daily amenities within walking distance. The asking price is €270,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in El Ingenio, part of San Pedro de Alcántara on the western side of Marbella. The beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 0.2 km away as the crow flies, reached over flat terrain with a gradient of about 2%. Playa de San Pedro lies 1.0 km away. The area combines residential streets with the full range of daily amenities typical of an established coastal town.
The property functions as a compact, turn-key home. The 52 m² layout comprises an open-plan living and dining area with a white designer kitchen, one bedroom with a large fitted wardrobe and one bathroom. South-facing orientation supports natural light throughout the day. The apartment is delivered fully furnished, which reduces the practical steps required before first occupancy.
Construction of the building was completed in 2023, which places it within the recent building stock of the area. The apartment is described as key-ready and in excellent condition, meaning no renovation or finishing work is anticipated before moving in. The building contains only four apartments, which limits the number of immediate neighbours within the block.
The property offers one bedroom and one bathroom within 52 m² of living space, which sets clear limits on household size and hosting guests. No swimming pool, garden, garage or storage room is listed in the available data. Common facilities of larger resort developments are therefore absent. Buyers requiring parking on-site or a second bedroom would need to look at other options.
This property fits a recognisable set of situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Costa del Sol, within walking distance of the beach and with the property delivered furnished, would find the practical steps to first use short. The same applies to buyers who want a base for part-year residence without the management burden of a large resort complex with pools and extensive communal areas. Investors evaluating the holiday rental market may note the location factors that influence demand: proximity to the beach, walkable amenities and year-round town life in San Pedro de Alcántara. A one-bedroom unit of this type is typically let to couples or small households, and rental performance depends on management, seasonality and local licensing rules, all of which require separate verification. The apartment is less suitable for households needing two or more bedrooms, private parking within the building, or communal leisure facilities. Its 52 m² floor plan is designed for one or two occupants. Buyers planning full-time residence with a car should check local on-street parking conditions, as no garage space is listed in the data. For a single buyer, a couple, or a parent with one child, the layout works; larger families will need to look elsewhere.
The building dates from 2023, which means the construction, installations and finishes reflect current Spanish building standards rather than those of older coastal stock. The interior photographs show a contemporary finish level: an open-plan living space with a white designer kitchen, smooth wall finishes, large-format flooring and recessed lighting. The bedroom includes floor-to-ceiling glazing that admits substantial daylight, and the bathroom is finished in a modern style consistent with the rest of the property. The apartment is delivered fully furnished, which is a concrete and verifiable condition of the sale rather than a marketing claim. The fitted wardrobe in the bedroom provides the main internal storage; no separate trastero (storage room) is listed. The building contains only four apartments, a small scale that typically corresponds to a residential building without a concierge, lift redundancy or extensive communal facilities, buyers accustomed to large developments should adjust expectations accordingly. South-facing orientation is a functional quality with practical consequences: the living area and balcony receive direct sun for the largest part of the day, which supports outdoor use of the balcony for much of the year and reduces the need for artificial light indoors. As with any recently completed property, buyers are advised to verify the technical documentation, warranties and community structure through their own legal counsel during the purchase process.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €270,000. It is an existing, completed home delivered in 2023 and sold key-ready and fully furnished, so the purchase price covers the property in its present condition without further construction phases. Within the regional context, comparable new-build projects start at €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial), €269,950 in Torre del Mar (Aquamar) and €321,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2). This positions the property in the lower-middle segment of the current Costa del Sol offer, with the distinction that the buyer acquires a finished home with immediate availability rather than an off-plan unit with a future delivery date.
Daily life around this apartment follows the rhythm of a compact Andalusian coastal town. Mornings can begin with a short walk to the beach, roughly 200 metres away as the crow flies, along streets that remain flat throughout. The town centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, with its shops, cafés and weekly market culture, is reachable on foot, which reduces dependence on a car for routine errands. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists 59 restaurants, 19 cafés, 9 pharmacies, 12 banks and a dentist, indicating that almost every daily need is covered within a short walk or brief drive. The apartment itself is designed for efficient living. The open-plan layout connects the kitchen, dining and living zones in a single light space, with the south-facing orientation bringing in sun for most of the day. The balcony, visible in the property images, extends the living area outwards and provides a spot for morning coffee or evening air. The single bedroom is generously proportioned relative to the overall floor plan and includes a large fitted wardrobe, which matters in a home without a separate storage room. The setting stays practical across seasons. Outside the summer months, the town retains its year-round population and services, so the neighbourhood does not empty out the way some resort zones do. Public transport is available through 10 lines with 50 stops in the area, offering an alternative to driving for trips towards Marbella or Estepona. For sport, Polideportivo San Pedro sits 1.7 km away, and several additional sports centres lie within about two kilometres.
The immediate surroundings are those of an established neighbourhood within San Pedro de Alcántara. The density of daily amenities within two kilometres, 59 restaurants, 19 cafés, 9 pharmacies and 12 banks, means that grocery runs, pharmacy visits and eating out rarely require more than a short walk or drive. The flat terrain towards the sea, with an average gradient of about 2%, makes the beach reachable on foot for most residents without effort. Beyond daily needs, the location connects to the broader leisure infrastructure of the western Costa del Sol. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina of Puerto Banús, lies 2.0 km away as the crow flies, putting one of the coast's most recognised leisure destinations within a short drive or a longer walk. Polideportivo San Pedro (1.7 km) and two further sports centres within about two kilometres cover indoor and outdoor sport. For families considering longer-term residence, The International School of Estepona (5.3 km) and the British International School (6.6 km) are the nearest international schools listed in the data.
The map shows the apartment's position between the San Pedro de Alcántara seafront and Puerto Banús. The beach is a short walk away over flat terrain, while golf courses, marinas and international schools sit within the surrounding few kilometres. Coastal bus lines connect the area to Marbella and Estepona.

Cortijo Blanco and El Ingenio sit on the coastal strip between the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús, roughly 2.0 km from each as measured to the marina. This positions the apartment in the Marbella municipality's western section, within reach of both a traditional Spanish town centre and the internationally oriented leisure economy of Banús. Marbella's own marina, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen, lies 8.0 km away, and Estepona begins to influence the area beyond that. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the location belongs to the established central-western segment, where services, beaches and golf infrastructure are dense and year-round living is normal.
Key distances, measured in straight-line kilometres: the beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 0.2 km away, Playa de San Pedro 1.0 km, and Playa Atalaya 4.1 km. Puerto Banús marina is 2.0 km away. Golf facilities cluster within 3-4 km, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf both at 3.0 km and The Range golf lessons at 3.9 km. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is approximately 48 km away as the crow flies and Gibraltar (GIB) roughly 50 km, giving a choice of two international airports at comparable distance; actual road travel times will be longer than the straight-line figures suggest. Alicante-Elche, at 438 km, is not a practical option. Public transport in the area consists of 10 lines with 50 stops, which supports car-free living for local trips along the coast. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Marbella Supercharger (5.1 km) or the Supercharger at Estepona (8.3 km).

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 19.0°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This is the classic Costa del Sol pattern: mild winters that keep the property usable year-round and warm but rarely extreme summers moderated by the sea. The swimming season is calculated at five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, which frames the practical use of the nearby beaches. The elevation is 2 metres above sea level, effectively at beach level, and the gradient towards the shore is around 2%, meaning there are no hills between the apartment and the sea. This flat, low-lying character distinguishes the location from hillside developments further inland, where views are broader but every trip involves climbing.

The closest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 0.2 km away as the crow flies and is notably dog-friendly, as its name indicates. Playa de San Pedro, 1.0 km away, is the main town beach with the full chiringuito and promenade culture of the area, while Playa Atalaya (4.1 km) offers a quieter alternative towards Estepona. Golf is a defining recreation option here: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf are both 3.0 km away, placing two established courses within a five-minute drive, with The Range golf practice facility at 3.9 km. Sports facilities on land include Polideportivo San Pedro (1.7 km), the Apolo centre (2.0 km) and a climbing facility, Rocodromo, at 2.1 km. For maritime leisure beyond the beach, Puerto Deportivo José Banús (2.0 km) provides marina services, restaurants and boat charters. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 1.8 km away, offers an elevated outlook over the coast.

Within the current Costa del Sol offer, this apartment occupies a specific position that is best understood by comparison. New-build alternatives listed as comparables start at €205,000 at Lantana Residencial in Mijas, €269,950 at Aquamar in Torre del Mar and €321,000 at Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona. At €270,000, this property sits at the Aquamar price point, but there are structural differences worth noting. First, this is a completed, existing home rather than an off-plan project. Buyers at the comparable developments typically purchase from a price list with future delivery dates, whereas this apartment is available immediately and fully furnished. Second, the location differs in character: Torre del Mar and Mijas sit east and central on the coast, while this property is in the Marbella municipality, two kilometres from Puerto Banús and within the densest stretch of golf, marina and restaurant infrastructure on the western Costa del Sol. Land values in this segment are generally higher, which is reflected in the price per square metre: at €270,000 for 52 m², the figure is roughly €5,200 per m², above what larger units further from Marbella typically achieve. Buyers are therefore paying primarily for location and immediacy rather than floor area. Third, the scale differs. A four-apartment building offers no pools, gardens or communal leisure facilities, which many new-build developments in the same price band do include. The trade-off is a small community with lower shared infrastructure, set against the absence of resort-style amenities. For buyers comparing options, the decision effectively comes down to prioritising a Marbella-municipality address and walkable beach proximity over space and on-site facilities.
