A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the El Ingenio area of San Pedro de Alcántara, within the Cortijo Blanco district of Marbella. Completed in 2023, the property forms part of a small modern building containing only four residences. The asking price is fixed at €300,000. The apartment offers 52 m² of living space, a south-facing orientation and is delivered fully furnished and key-ready. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies approximately 200 metres away as the crow flies, and the town centre with its daily amenities is within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in El Ingenio, part of San Pedro de Alcántara on Marbella's western side. The beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is roughly 0.2 km away in a straight line, with the terrain essentially flat. Puerto Deportivo José Banus marina is 2.0 km away, and two golf clubs lie 3.0 km from the door.
The layout serves practical needs: an open-plan designer kitchen connected to the living area, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two full bathrooms. The south-facing orientation supports daylight in the main living spaces. With 52 m² of floor area, the home suits couples, small families or two adults sharing.
The building was completed in 2023, and the apartment is key-ready, meaning no waiting period for construction applies. Finishes, kitchen and bathrooms are new. The stated completion date is indicative of the construction history rather than a future delivery moment; the buyer can occupy or rent the property immediately after purchase.
With 52 m² of living area, the apartment is compact; large families or buyers seeking generous interior space will find the layout limited. No private garden, private pool or dedicated storage room is recorded in the data. The building has four apartments and no mention is made of communal leisure facilities. A car is not strictly necessary, though parking details are not specified.

The property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home near the sea benefits from the compact layout, full furnishing and immediate availability, arrival requires no renovation or furnishing project. Buyers wanting a holiday residence with letting potential gain from the location's walkability: beach, restaurants and transport within a short radius are the practical attributes that support short-stay demand on this stretch of coast. Small families with one or two children can use the second bedroom, as the interior photographs show a children's room with play storage, while the two-bathroom arrangement suits a family routine. Retirees or part-year residents who prefer not to depend on a car daily will find the flat terrain, the 200-metre beach distance and the density of pharmacies, banks and cafés supportive of car-free living for most errands. The property is less suitable for buyers who need three or more bedrooms, substantial interior square footage, a private garden or pool, or dedicated parking, none of these are part of the recorded offering. Buyers prioritising panoramic views should also note the location sits at roughly 2 metres above sea level in a built-up area, so outlooks are urban rather than elevated coastal vistas.
The building dates from 2023, which places it under current Spanish technical building codes covering insulation, ventilation and installation standards. The interior photographs show a consistent modern finishing level: a white designer kitchen integrated into the open-plan living space, a bathroom with walk-in shower and wall-mounted mirror unit, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and contemporary flooring throughout. The condition is recorded as excellent, consistent with a home occupied briefly or not at all since completion. The two full bathrooms are a practical specification at this size class, many comparable two-bedroom apartments on the coast carry one bathroom plus a guest toilet. Mechanical and electrical installations are new by construction date, though specific brand names of appliances and fittings are not documented in the available data. The delivery is fully furnished, which removes a typical post-purchase cost and logistics exercise for overseas buyers. As with any recently completed building, the developer's warranty period (typically ten years for structural elements under Spanish law) applies from completion, and buyers should confirm the remaining coverage and community documentation through standard conveyancing checks. No private garden or terrace details are recorded, and no communal facilities such as a pool are listed for the four-apartment building, so the finishing story is concentrated on the interior rather than on shared amenities.
The apartment carries a fixed asking price of €300,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build release with a price list, so the figure applies to this specific property, not to a range of unit types. The price covers 52 m² of living space with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a designer kitchen and full furnishing. Buyers comparing against new-build projects should note the difference in pricing structure: comparable developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) quote starting prices for a portfolio of units, whereas this is a single key-ready residence. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life here is organised around proximity. The beach is a short stroll of roughly 200 metres in a straight line across flat terrain, which makes morning swims and evening walks along the shore a realistic routine rather than an occasional outing. San Pedro de Alcántara's town centre is within walking distance, and the surrounding two-kilometre radius counts 59 restaurants, 19 cafés, 9 pharmacies and 12 banks, so daily errands, bread, groceries, prescriptions, cash points, can be handled on foot. The apartment itself works as a low-maintenance base: the open-plan kitchen and living area form one continuous space, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes provide storage without requiring extra furniture, and two full bathrooms reduce morning congestion for a household of three or four. The building's small scale, four apartments in total, limits shared traffic in stairwells and communal areas, which generally translates into a quieter residential feel than larger resort-style blocks. South-facing orientation means the main rooms receive sun through the middle of the day, useful in winter months when the average temperature drops to around 12°C. The setting functions year-round rather than only in summer: the area sits within an established residential fabric near San Pedro's centre, not in a seasonal resort zone, so shops and services remain open outside the holiday season. Public transport access is substantial for a coastal location, with 10 lines and 50 stops recorded in the area, connecting the district to Marbella, Estepona and Fuengirola along the coastal corridor.
The immediate environment is urban-coastal. El Ingenio lies between San Pedro de Alcántara's centre and the beachfront, meaning the streetscape mixes residential buildings with local commerce rather than resort infrastructure. Distances work in the resident's favour: the nearest beach is 0.2 km away in a straight line with a flat 2% gradient, Playa de San Pedro lies 1.0 km away, and the wider beach selection extends to Playa Atalaya at 4.1 km. For sport, Polideportivo San Pedro is 1.7 km away, with two further sports centres within 2.1 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banus is 2.0 km away, close enough for an evening walk to the marina. Daily provisions are dense: the two-kilometre radius includes 59 restaurants, 19 cafés, 9 pharmacies and 12 banks, so scarcity of services is not a characteristic of this location. The area's rhythm is year-round rather than seasonal, San Pedro functions as a working Spanish town with schools, including international options 5.3 km and 6.6 km away, and local services that continue through winter. Transport infrastructure includes 10 bus lines and 50 stops, giving coastal mobility without a car for most routine trips. The nearest motorway connection links west towards Estepona and east towards Marbella and Fuengirola for longer journeys.

Within the Costa del Sol's geography, the property occupies a central-western position in the Marbella municipality. San Pedro de Alcántara functions as Marbella's practical, less resort-driven neighbour, with Estepona further west and Puerto Banús immediately east. Distances position the home equidistant from two airports, Malaga at roughly 48 km and Gibraltar at 50 km straight-line, making it accessible from both arrival patterns. The 2.0 km distance to Puerto Banús places the luxury marina scene within easy reach without living inside it.
Accessibility is one of the location's structural strengths. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 48 km away as the crow flies, and Gibraltar Airport about 50 km, giving a choice of two international gateways at similar distance, road travel times will exceed straight-line figures, particularly towards Gibraltar. Beach access is the standout figure: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 0.2 km on flat terrain means the sea is effectively around the corner. Golfers reach Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.0 km each, with The Range practice facility at 3.9 km. Marinas: Puerto Deportivo José Banus at 2.0 km, with Marbella's two marinas at 8.0 km and 9.3 km. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Marbella Supercharger at 5.1 km or the Estepona Supercharger at 8.3 km. Public transport in the area covers 10 lines and 50 stops, sufficient for car-free living along the coastal corridor. For families, The International School of Estepona sits 5.3 km away and the British International School 6.6 km.

The climate data indicates a classic Costa del Sol profile: average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.0°C. Winters are mild enough for continued outdoor use of the area, while summer highs invite the sea rather than the midday street. The swimming season runs five months with water temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly June through October, which matters practically for a home 200 metres from the beach, the shoreline functions as an extension of daily life for half the year. Elevation is 2 metres above sea level with a 2% gradient to the coast, so there are no stairs or slopes between the front door and the sand, a relevant point for older residents or anyone with mobility considerations. The flat, low-lying setting means no elevated views, but also no hillside exposure to wind or steep access roads. Rainfall on this coast is concentrated in autumn and winter months and is modest by northern European standards; the area records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting Andalusia's full calendar of fiestas and observances.

Beach and recreation options cluster tightly around the property. The nearest stretch, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 0.2 km away as the crow flies, a dog-friendly beach, which is a relatively rare designation on the Costa del Sol and useful for pet-owning residents. Playa de San Pedro, 1.0 km away, is the town's main sandy beach with chiringuitos and full summer services. Playa Atalaya at 4.1 km offers a quieter alternative towards Estepona. Golf is well represented: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf both lie 3.0 km away, and The Range golf lesson facility at 3.9 km supports practice without full club membership. Sports centres within about 2 km include Polideportivo San Pedro (1.7 km), Apolo (2.0 km) and Rocodromo (2.1 km), the latter a climbing facility. For evening recreation, Puerto Deportivo José Banus at 2.0 km provides the marina promenade, dining and people-watching, while Mirador del Muelle de Honor at 1.8 km is a viewpoint for sunset over the harbour.

Against comparable coastal offerings, this apartment occupies a distinct position in the market. New-build projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) quote starting prices across a portfolio, with final costs depending on unit selection, floor level and options. This property instead carries a single fixed price of €300,000 for a completed, furnished home, a different proposition for buyers who want cost certainty and immediate availability rather than a construction or off-plan waiting period. Locationally, the comparison is also structural: Torre del Mar sits on the eastern Costa del Sol roughly an hour's drive from Marbella, Mijas occupies the central stretch near Fuengirola, and Estepona lies west of San Pedro. This apartment's position within the Marbella municipality, 2.0 km from Puerto Banús, 3.0 km from two established golf clubs and within San Pedro's year-round town fabric, is a denser, more central setting than the three comparables, each of which sits in a developing or more peripheral zone relative to the Marbella, Estepona prime corridor. The trade-off is scale: at 52 m², the living area is smaller than typical new-build two-bedroom units on the coast, which often range from 70 to 90 m². Buyers effectively exchange interior square footage for location immediacy and the removal of furnishing costs. Within San Pedro itself, El Ingenio's flat, beach-adjacent character contrasts with hillside districts further inland such as La Quinta or Montevideo, where views improve but walking access to the town centre and beach declines.
