This detached villa is located in El Rosario, in the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2018 and completed to a key-ready standard, the property offers 560 m² of living space on a 1,073 m² plot, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private swimming pool and an indoor pool. The house has a south-west orientation, mountain and country views, and is situated in a gated community with 24-hour security. The asking price is a fixed €3,900,000. Marbella town centre lies approximately 7 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Rosario is an established residential area east of Marbella centre, roughly 7 km away in a straight line. The villa stands in a gated community with 24-hour security and surveillance cameras. Shops, schools, golf courses and the sea are all described as nearby in the listing. The setting is mountainside, with views over the mountains, countryside, garden and pool.
The villa is designed for permanent or seasonal living at a generous scale: five bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom, a guest room, a cinema room, a games room and a gym. Day-to-day comfort is supported by underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning, a fireplace, a smart home system and a lift between levels. Outdoor living centres on the private pool, covered terrace, barbecue area and garden.
This is an existing home, completed in 2018 and described as being in excellent condition. The property is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its finished state. The delivery date is indicative and subject to the purchase process. Features such as solar panels, double glazing and a water tank are already installed. The house is sold unfurnished, with two private parking spaces included.
The property is sold unfurnished. The listing does not mention direct beach access, sea views or a seafront position; distances to the coast require a short drive. There is no mention of a communal pool or communal garden, as the plot and pool are private. The asking price is fixed at €3,900,000 and is not negotiable as a starting price. Pets are allowed, and the home is wheelchair accessible.
This villa fits a buyer who needs genuine capacity rather than a holiday apartment. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently will find five en-suite bedrooms, a lift, wheelchair accessibility and proximity to schools directly relevant, the listing places schools, shops and town within easy reach, and daily errands do not depend on Marbella centre. A multigenerational household benefits from the guest room, the lift between floors and the separation between the main living level and the basement amenities. Buyers seeking a second home for extended stays will value the 24-hour security, gated access and alarm system, which allow long absences without leaving the property exposed. The indoor pool extends swimming beyond the outdoor season, which matters for owners who visit outside the summer months. The house also suits buyers who entertain: the cinema room, games room, barbecue terrace and multiple lounging areas around the pool accommodate guests without crowding the private quarters. It fits less well for buyers wanting to walk to the beach daily, a furnished turnkey purchase, or an entry-level price point, comparable new-build apartments on the eastern Costa del Sol start below €270,000, which places this property in a different budget category entirely. The practical profile is therefore a buyer with a budget above €3.5 million, a need for five-plus bedrooms, and a preference for a secure, completed villa over a project purchase.
The villa was completed in 2018 and is listed in excellent condition, with a specification that reads as contemporary rather than entry-level. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped, with an open-plan layout and black countertops visible in the listing photography. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the bathrooms are finished with underfloor heating, a comfort feature during the cooler months of the Andalusian winter, when average temperatures drop to around 13°C. Climate control is layered: air conditioning throughout, a fireplace for the living areas, double glazing and security shutters. The technical installation goes beyond standard finishes. Solar panels reduce grid dependence, a water tank provides reserve capacity, and a smart home system manages functions including the electric blinds. A Dolby surround stereo system and satellite TV are pre-installed. Security is addressed in depth: alarm, security entrance, video entry, surveillance cameras, 24-hour security service and gated community access. Accessibility is engineered in, with a lift and wheelchair-accessible layout, relatively uncommon in private villas of this age. Outdoor construction includes a covered terrace, an uncovered terrace, a balcony and a barbecue area, all oriented south-west. Practical service spaces, utility room, laundry room, storage room and a basement, support year-round living. The indoor pool is a notable technical inclusion, requiring its own climate and humidity systems, and it extends usable swimming time beyond the roughly five-month outdoor season. The property is sold unfurnished, so interior styling remains to the buyer's own account.
The property has a fixed asking price of €3,900,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build development with a price list, so the figure represents the asking price for the house in its current state, sold unfurnished, with two private parking spaces included. At 560 m² of built space on a 1,073 m² plot, the price reflects the villa's position in the upper segment of the Marbella East market, where finished, security-equipped homes of this scale are limited in number. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard purchase process. The completion date of 2018 and the described excellent condition mean no renovation budget needs to be assumed, though buyers typically verify this during survey and notary stages. Delivery and transfer timelines are indicative.
This villa operates as a fully self-contained family residence with the scale and equipment of a small private estate. The ground floor combines a living room, dining room and an open-plan fitted kitchen with black countertops, alongside a utility room and laundry room. The five bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom, with a further guest toilet on the main level. A basement adds a cinema room, games room, gym and storage room, while a lift connects the floors, a practical feature given the mountainside setting. Daily routines play out between the indoor pool, the outdoor private pool and the covered terrace with barbecue. The south-west orientation means the main outdoor spaces receive afternoon and evening sun, which suits the Mediterranean pattern of eating outside late in the day. El Rosario itself is a low-density residential zone: mornings are quiet, the streets are primarily residential, and daily shopping, schools and restaurants sit a short drive away. Marbella centre, roughly 7 km as the crow flies, provides the wider urban layer, larger shops, cultural facilities and the old town. The combination of 24-hour security, gated access and a single private plot makes the property usable year-round, whether as a primary residence or as an extended-stay holiday home for a multigenerational family or guests.
Daily life in El Rosario is structured around the car, with amenities concentrated within a short drive rather than at walking scale. The wider area records an unusually dense service network, hundreds of restaurants, well over a hundred pharmacies and dozens of banks and cafés within a 2 km radius, reflecting the mature tourist and residential infrastructure of the Marbella coastal strip. Education is well covered, with dozens of primary and secondary schools in the region, which matters for permanent residents. Five health centres serve the area. Recreational infrastructure sits close by: beaches including Playa de San Andrés lie within roughly 2 km as the crow flies, while several golf courses, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez, are within 8 to 11 km. Marbella centre is about 7 km away in a straight line, with Málaga city roughly 42 km. Public transport runs across 50 lines with 50 stops in the zone, though a villa of this type is realistically used with one or two private cars, for which two dedicated parking spaces are included. The tourism footprint, 48 hotels and over 12,500 beds, means the area is noticeably busier in summer and quieter in winter, a rhythm typical of the Costa del Sol.

El Rosario occupies a position on the eastern side of Marbella, one of the most established municipalities on the Costa del Sol with nearly 148,000 inhabitants. This places the villa between the mature residential belt of Marbella East and the wider Málaga metropolitan region roughly 42 km to the north-east, with Algeciras and the Strait of Gibraltar about 71 km to the south-west. Within this corridor, the location combines proximity to Marbella's services with a quieter, low-rise residential character. The annual volume of roughly 4,400 housing transactions in the region indicates an active and liquid market on both sides of any resale.
The villa sits in a gated community with direct road access to the coastal artery that links Marbella to Fuengirola, Estepona and Málaga. Marbella centre is approximately 7 km away as the crow flies, and Málaga city roughly 42 km, with actual road distances somewhat longer. Beaches such as Playa de San Andrés are about 1.8 km in a straight line, a few minutes by car. Golf courses lie between 8 and 11 km away, including Club de Golf Málaga Parador and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez. Marinas, including IGY Málaga Marina, sit within the wider region. Regarding airports, Gibraltar Airport is approximately 202 km away in a straight line; the listing data places Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport at a considerably greater straight-line distance of roughly 298 km, so prospective buyers should verify actual road travel times independently. Public transport covers 50 lines and 50 stops in the surrounding zone, providing a baseline service, though most residents of El Rosario rely on private vehicles. Two private parking spaces on the plot are included with the property. Electric-vehicle charging points exist in the region, from roughly 4 km outward.

The climate is Mediterranean with a mild character: the average annual temperature is around 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 13°C in the coolest months to 23°C at the height of summer. This means winters are mild enough to use the terraces and garden through much of the year, while the fireplace and underfloor bathroom heating cover the cooler evenings. The swimming season, when sea water reaches 20°C or more, lasts roughly five months, and the villa's indoor pool extends swimming beyond that window. The site is described as mountainside, giving the property its mountain and country views, and slopes of this kind typically mean stepped garden levels and the practical relevance of the internal lift. The elevation figure recorded for the coastal zone is at sea level. The Andalusian coast records generous sunshine hours relative to northern Europe, which supports the solar panels installed on the roof. Rainfall is concentrated in the autumn and winter months, with long dry stretches in summer, a pattern that makes the water tank a practical reserve rather than a luxury.

The nearest listed beach, Playa de San Andrés, lies approximately 1.8 km away in a straight line, with Playa de la Misericordia at 3.2 km and Playa de los Baños del Carmen at 3.8 km, all a short drive from the villa. The coastal zone carries a substantial tourism infrastructure: 48 hotels and more than 12,600 beds, which translates into a wide offer of beach bars, restaurants and water-oriented leisure within easy reach. Golf is a defining recreation of the area, with Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 8.2 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 9.4 km and the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course at 11.1 km, all measured in a straight line. Marinas such as IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo provide moorings and sailing access further along the coast. For daily exercise, sports centres and wellness facilities sit within roughly 0.5 to 0.7 km of the zone, including municipal options. Viewpoints including Torre Blanca and the Mirador de Gibralfaro offer walking destinations with panoramic coastal views. On the plot itself, recreation is private: outdoor and indoor pools, a gym, cinema room, games room and barbecue terrace.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies the upper resale segment, and the comparison with current new-build offerings clarifies its position. Comparable new projects listed in the region, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, sit in an entirely different price bracket, typically offering apartments or townhouses rather than a completed five-bedroom villa on a private plot. A buyer moving from those projects to this property is not comparing square metres but product type: a key-ready detached house with an indoor pool, lift, cinema room and 24-hour security has few direct new-build equivalents at any price on the eastern Marbella coast, where most new supply consists of apartments. Location also differs. Torre del Mar and Estepona lie further from Marbella centre; El Rosario sits roughly 7 km from it in a straight line, inside Marbella municipality itself, with the associated service density, hundreds of restaurants and cafés within 2 km, dozens of schools and five health centres in the zone. Against other Marbella addresses, El Rosario is characterised as a quieter, low-rise residential area east of the town, generally less expensive than the Golden Mile or Nueva Andalucía while remaining within a short drive of both. The regional market records around 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating steady liquidity. For a buyer weighing this villa against a new-build purchase, the trade-off is concrete: an established plot with mature infrastructure and completed construction on one side, and staged payment plans with modern specifications but longer delivery timelines on the other. The median provincial income of €16,450 underlines that this property, at a fixed €3,900,000, serves a small international buyer pool rather than the domestic mainstream market.
