This is a completed one-bedroom apartment of 62 m² in Elviria, Marbella East, built in 2005 (indicative). The property is located in an established low-rise residential urbanisation roughly 2 km from the nearest beaches, with a supermarket at approximately 500 metres and three golf courses within 2 km. The asking price is €285,000, and the apartment is sold fully furnished with a private underground parking space. Elviria functions as the commercial centre of Marbella East, combining villa districts with low-rise apartment complexes set among pine and cork oak vegetation. Malaga Airport lies approximately 32 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Elviria sits 6 km east of Marbella's old town, within a low-density residential zone that acts as the service hub of Marbella East. The apartment stands in an urbanisation close to golf facilities: Greenlife Golf is roughly 800 m away and Santa María Golf under 2 km. Shops, restaurants and a pharmacy are within walking distance, while the nearest beach, El Alicate, is about 2 km.
The property suits a single occupant or couple seeking a compact, low-maintenance base on the Costa del Sol. It offers one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room, a southwest-facing terrace with sea views, air conditioning, communal pool and garden, and underground parking. Daily needs, supermarket 511 m, pharmacy 445 m, are reachable on foot, reducing car dependency for routine errands.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2005 (indicative) and is described as well maintained and in good condition. It is delivered fully furnished and ready for occupancy. Buyers should expect a property of approximately twenty years of age, with the corresponding building standards and communal infrastructure of that period rather than current new-build specifications or energy ratings.
The property offers one bedroom and 62 m² of living space, which limits its capacity to two occupants in practice. It is a single-level apartment within a communal complex, so there is no private garden or private pool. The nearest beach is roughly 2 km away, not walkable beachfront access. No information is available regarding energy certification, storage rooms, lift access, or communal fees, and these should be verified.

This property fits a small household: a single buyer or a couple using it as a second home, a holiday base or a permanent residence. For part-year residents, the furnished delivery and established communal complex mean the apartment can be occupied immediately without renovation work. Buyers prioritising proximity to golf will note Greenlife Golf at approximately 800 m and Santa María Golf at 1.9 km, both walkable or a two-minute drive. Families with school-age children may find the 62 m² and single bedroom restrictive for permanent full-time use, though the English International College at 800 m is relevant for those with one child or future plans. Retirees seeking a manageable footprint with walking-distance services, pharmacy 445 m, supermarket 511 m, cafés and medical centres nearby, will find the configuration practical. Investors should note the one-bedroom format and Elviria's tourism base (52 hotels, 12,781 beds in the area), which supports a rental market, though rental licence status should be verified with the community and municipality. The property is less suited to buyers requiring multiple bedrooms, direct beachfront access, or a private pool and garden. A car is advisable despite the walkable local services, since the beach, Marbella old town and the airport all involve driving distances.
The apartment dates from 2005 (indicative) and is listed in good, well-maintained condition. The kitchen is fully fitted and the property is sold fully furnished, which removes the typical post-purchase furnishing cycle. Standard features include air conditioning for climate control, a southwest-facing terrace with an awning visible in the listing imagery, and sea, golf and country views from the terrace and living room. The building stock of this period in Elviria generally consists of low-rise blocks with rendered façades, and the complex offers communal gardens and a communal swimming pool, shown in the listing photography. Technical elements typical of 2005 construction include pre-installed climate systems of that generation rather than modern heat-pump or aerothermal installations; buyers relying on air conditioning should expect electricity-based cooling costs. An underground parking space in the communal garage is included, protecting the vehicle and simplifying resale. No energy performance certificate details are available in the data; Spanish law requires a certificate at point of sale, so buyers should request it and use it to gauge running costs. As with any twenty-year-old property, a technical survey is advisable to assess plumbing, electrical installations, window glazing and terrace waterproofing before completion.
The asking price is €285,000 for a completed, furnished one-bedroom apartment of 62 m², equivalent to approximately €4,600 per m². This positions the property above comparable new-build one-bedroom stock further along the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) and Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), reflecting the established Marbella East address and inclusion of furniture and a parking space. Price variability depends on the specific unit within the complex; this listing represents one apartment. Transaction volume in the surrounding area, 4,743 recorded property transactions, indicates an active resale market.
Elviria is a low-density residential area between Marbella town and the Cabopino pine belt, characterised by villas interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes and native pine and cork oak cover. Daily life here is settled rather than resort-like: the commercial centre of Elviria provides supermarkets, banks, cafés and a high concentration of restaurants, 29 within a 2 km radius, so most routine needs are handled locally. The apartment's southwest orientation means the terrace receives sun through the afternoon and into the evening, which suits the outdoor-dining pattern typical of the region's roughly 3,855 annual sunshine hours. A supermarket at 511 m and a pharmacy at 445 m make the immediate vicinity practical on foot, and the flat terrain (about 1.5% slope towards the coast) supports walking and cycling. The sea is visible from the terrace, but the beach itself lies about 2 km away, which in practice means a short drive or a 20–25 minute walk. Out of the summer season Elviria remains inhabited year-round, supported by three schools, international schooling at the English International College 800 m away, and five health centres in the wider area. Three bus lines with 39 stops serve the district, though a car remains the practical choice for Marbella town, Cabopino marina and the airport. The dwelling rhythm is that of a residential hub: quiet streets, golf-course greenery within a kilometre, and services clustered at the district centre rather than a coastal promenade atmosphere.
Elviria's environment combines residential calm with functional density. Within a 2 km radius there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, an unusually complete service cluster for a district of this scale, and the reason Elviria functions as the centre of Marbella East. The supermarket 511 m from the apartment handles daily shopping without a car. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area, with the nearest hospital facility at 3.6 km. The terrain is essentially flat, 30 m above sea level with a 1.5% slope to the coast, making walking and cycling realistic options. Public transport consists of 3 bus lines and 39 stops, connecting the district along the coastal corridor; the nearest rail terminus is in Fuengirola to the east. Vegetation is dominated by native pine and cork oak, which shapes the district's green character and provides shade along residential roads. Tourism presence is substantial, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds in the area, meaning summer months bring increased activity, while the year-round resident base keeps services open through winter. The nearest EV charging point is 1.1 km away. Sport facilities within easy reach include Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km.
The map shows the apartment's position within Elviria, between Marbella town to the west and the Cabopino pine belt to the east. Markers indicate the three nearby golf courses, the cluster of beaches 2–4.5 km south, and the walking-distance supermarket and pharmacy, illustrating the district's compact service layout.

The location records approximately 3,855 sunshine hours per year historically, with a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or above, spans roughly five months, typically May to October. The apartment sits at 30 m above sea level on terrain with a 1.5% slope towards the coast, so no significant hill climbing is involved in reaching the beach area on foot or by bicycle. The southwest orientation aligns with the region's sun path, giving the terrace afternoon and evening exposure. The surrounding landscape is covered largely by native pine and cork oak, and the protected dune system of Artola and the Cabopino pine forest lie within a few kilometres, offering coastal walking routes outside the built-up zone.

Three beaches lie within 4.5 km: Playa de Artola (1.9 km), El Alicate (2.1 km) and Playa de Cabopino (4.4 km). Artola and Cabopino sit at the edge of the protected Dunas de Artola natural monument, with wider, less developed stretches backed by pine forest. Golf options cluster around the property: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 805 m, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.8 km, making the address well placed for regular play. Additional recreation includes Don Carlos Tennis Club (1.8 km), swimming pools at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa (2.5 km), and two marinas within 8 km, Puerto Cabopino and Marina Marbella, for mooring and waterfront dining.

Against comparable coastal stock, this property trades at a premium per square metre that reflects its Marbella East address. Aquamar in Torre del Mar lists from €269,950, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, all eastern or western alternatives with new-build specification at comparable or lower entry prices for similar one-bedroom formats. The Elviria apartment's €285,000 asking price buys a resale unit in an established complex rather than new construction, but gains three things the alternatives do not offer at entry level: immediate availability with no construction phase, a fully furnished delivery with parking included, and an address 6 km from Marbella old town with a dense service environment, 29 restaurants, 9 cafés and multiple supermarkets within 2 km. Torre del Mar and eastern Mijas are further from Marbella's amenity core; Estepona lies some 35–40 minutes further from the airport by road. Elviria's position in the middle of the Marbella East corridor places it 32 km from Malaga Airport, closer than Estepona and comparable to Mijas Costa, while retaining year-round residential character rather than resort seasonality. The resale market context, 4,743 property transactions recorded in the surrounding area, indicates liquidity unusual for a low-density district. Buyers comparing options should weigh the age of the 2005 building stock and unverified energy performance against the location and move-in-ready condition, and obtain a technical survey plus the energy certificate before comparing total cost of ownership with new-build alternatives that carry modern efficiency standards and builder guarantees.
