This one-bedroom apartment is located in Elviria, a low-density residential area on the eastern side of Marbella, approximately 9 km from the old town as the crow flies. The property measures 69 m² of living space, has one bathroom, and was completed in 2006. It is key-ready and offered at a fixed asking price of €299,000. The apartment includes one designated parking space and a storage room, with the option to purchase an additional storage unit. Elviria combines villa neighbourhoods with low-rise apartment complexes, set among native pine trees and cork oaks, within easy reach of beaches, golf courses and Marbella's amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Elviria, the recognised centre of Marbella East. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 2.0 km away in a straight line, with a flat gradient of 1.5% towards the coast. Marbella's old town is roughly 6 km away by road, while Málaga airport is approximately 32 km away as the crow flies. Daily amenities such as shops, restaurants and bars are concentrated within the district itself.
With 69 m², one bedroom and one bathroom, the layout suits a single occupant, a couple, or use as a holiday base. The kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and space for a washing machine. A designated parking space and storage room are included, which is a practical combination in a villa neighbourhood where on-street options are limited. The balcony adjoining the bedroom extends the living space outdoors.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2006 and is offered key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The condition is described as well maintained throughout. Buyers should factor in that the building is nearly two decades old when assessing future maintenance requirements. The optional extra storage unit can be purchased separately.
The property has one bedroom and one bathroom only, which limits its suitability for families or households needing guest accommodation. No swimming pool, garden or communal facilities are listed in the available data. There is no mention of air conditioning, a lift or sea views in the source information. Distances to amenities are short but generally require a car, as the district is low density with 39 public transport stops across three lines.
This property fits a recognisable set of situations. A couple or single buyer seeking a low-maintenance base on the Costa del Sol, within a green residential district but minutes from Marbella, will find the scale and location workable. The single bedroom and bathroom make it less suitable for families with children or buyers who regularly host guests. As a second home, the combination of a lock-up-and-leave layout, designated parking and included storage is practical for owners who visit several times a year; the balcony off the bedroom and the proximity of beaches 2 km away support seasonal use across the roughly five-month swimming season when sea temperatures exceed 20°C. Buyers prioritising golf or tennis will note Greenlife Golf at 0.9 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km and Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km, all within a short drive. International families may value the English International College at 0.8 km, though the apartment's size constrains larger households. Investors considering rental potential should weigh the location within a district that records 4,743 housing transactions per year and a substantial tourism infrastructure. Buyers who want a pool, garden or sea view within the purchase should verify separately, as none of these are listed in the available data. Finally, those who prefer to walk everywhere should note that a car is the realistic mode of transport here.
The apartment dates from 2006, placing it in the era of Andalusian construction when granite kitchen worktops, built-in wardrobes and traditional bathroom fittings were standard specifications. The photographic record shows a bathroom with a tub and basin, a second modern bathroom finish, and a kitchen equipped with granite surfaces and a washing machine connection, indicating a functional, complete fit-out rather than a stripped shell. The interior appears well maintained according to the seller's description, though buyers should treat this as a starting point for their own survey. At 69 m² with one bedroom, the internal distribution is compact, and the balcony adjoining the bedroom provides the main outdoor space. The included designated parking space is a material asset in Elviria, where properties do not uniformly have private parking, and the storage room adds capacity that apartments of this size typically lack; the option to buy a second storage unit suggests flexible arrangements from the seller. Points that buyers of a 2006 building should verify during a viewing include the age and condition of the hot water system, electrical installation, window frames and glazing, and whether air conditioning has been retrofitted, none of which are specified in the available data. Community aspects such as building fees, lift access and the condition of shared elements also warrant confirmation, as they affect both monthly costs and future maintenance exposure.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €299,000, reflecting its status as an existing, key-ready home rather than an off-plan purchase. At 69 m², this equates to roughly €4,340 per square metre, which is consistent with the established resale market in Elviria, a district positioned between Marbella's premium coastal zones and more affordable areas further east. The price includes one designated parking space and a storage room; an additional storage unit is available as a separate purchase, which affects the total cost. As a completed 2006 building, no phased payments or construction-linked schedule applies, the transaction follows the standard Spanish resale process once financing or funds are in place.
Elviria functions as the everyday hub of Marbella East: a residential district with its own shopping facilities, restaurants and bars, so that basic errands do not require a trip into Marbella itself. The area is characterised by villas interspersed with low-rise apartment blocks, and by vegetation dominated by native pine trees and cork oaks, which gives the streets a green and relatively calm character compared with the denser coastal strips closer to Marbella centre. For the resident of this apartment, daily life would likely revolve around short car trips: under 2 km to the beach at El Alicate or Playa de Artola, around 1 km to Greenlife Golf, and under a kilometre to the English International College. The neighbourhood records 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within a 2 km radius, alongside 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank. With 1.8 km to the Don Carlos Tennis Club and several golf courses within 2 km, leisure options are concentrated nearby rather than in the immediate street. The apartment itself, at 69 m² with one bedroom, works as a compact base: mornings on the bedroom balcony, afternoons at the coast, and evenings within a district that remains lively through the year rather than emptying outside the summer season, given the permanent residential population and the presence of 52 hotels in the wider area. A car is realistically necessary; public transport exists with three lines but is geared towards the coastal corridor rather than door-to-door convenience.
Life in Elviria is shaped by its position as the commercial and social centre of Marbella East. The district provides shopping facilities, restaurants and bars within its own boundaries, meaning residents handle most daily needs locally rather than travelling the roughly 6 km into Marbella's old town. The surroundings are notably green for the Costa del Sol: the area is covered with native pine trees and cork oaks, and the low-density villa fabric keeps the streets quiet relative to high-rise zones elsewhere along the coast. Within a 2 km radius of the apartment, the data records 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, a full neighbourhood amenity set. Healthcare is served by 5 health centres in the wider area, and education options are extensive, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded regionally, including the English International College just 0.8 km away. Marinas at Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km) and Marina Marbella (7.6 km) extend the leisure offer along the coast. The district sits at 30 m elevation with a flat gradient of 1.5% to the sea, so walking and cycling are feasible for shorter trips, though the spacing of amenities makes a car the default. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, which keeps local businesses open year-round rather than seasonally.
The map shows the apartment's position within Elviria, between the green villa neighbourhoods and the coastal strip. Marbella lies a short distance west; the beaches of El Alicate and Artola sit roughly 2 km south, and the golf courses of Greenlife and Santa María are immediately adjacent. All distances shown are straight-line measurements.

Within the Costa del Sol hierarchy, Elviria occupies a middle position: established, green and low density, east of Marbella's golden mile but more consolidated than the developments stretching towards Estepona. Marbella, with 147,958 inhabitants, is the anchor city 9 km away, while Málaga, the regional capital with 579,076 inhabitants and the main airport, lies 41 km away in a straight line. Algeciras, 72 km to the west, is relevant mainly as a ferry gateway to Morocco. Elviria's role as the centre of Marbella East gives it an amenity level that standalone villa districts lack, which supports both permanent residence and rental demand.
The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 2.0 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Artola at the same distance and Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km; actual road distances will be longer. Marbella is 9 km away as the crow flies (roughly 6 km by road to the old town), with Málaga at 41 km straight-line and its airport approximately 32 km away. Gibraltar airport is around 64 km away. Train connections are limited: the nearest station is in Fuengirola, west along the coast, which makes rail access to the apartment indirect. Public transport in the immediate area consists of 3 lines serving 39 stops, adequate for the coastal corridor but not a substitute for a car for most residents. By road, the A-7 coastal motorway and the AP-7 toll road connect Elviria to Marbella, Fuengirola and Málaga, placing the airport within a drive of roughly 35–40 minutes in normal traffic. Golf courses cluster within 2 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella (0.9 km), its driving range (1.1 km) and Santa María Golf & Country Club (1.9 km), while the Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away.

Elviria records an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, typical of the Marbella coastline, which benefits from the Mediterranean climate that has made this stretch of southern Spain a year-round destination. The swimming season extends to roughly five months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, generally from late May into October. The district lies at 30 m above sea level with a gradient to the beach of only 1.5%, meaning the terrain is effectively flat and imposes no physical effort on trips to the coast. Rainfall along this section of the coast is modest and concentrated in the winter months, leaving long dry spells through spring, summer and autumn. The natural setting distinguishes Elviria from more built-up zones: the area is covered with vegetation, mostly native pine trees and cork oaks, remnants of the coastal woodland that once characterised Marbella East. This green backdrop softens the residential fabric, provides shade on walks, and supports a quieter acoustic environment than the open beachfront strips. Buyers sensitive to heat should note that July and August afternoons regularly exceed 30°C, making shaded outdoor space such as the bedroom balcony most usable in the morning and evening during high summer.

The beaches nearest to the apartment are El Alicate and Playa de Artola, both 2.0 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. Playa de Artola, adjacent to the Artola Dunes natural monument, is one of the few undeveloped dune systems remaining on this coast, offering a more natural beach experience than the urban sands further west. Puerto Cabopino, 4.7 km away, combines a marina with a sheltered beach and a cluster of beachside restaurants. Golf is a defining leisure feature of the immediate surroundings: Greenlife Golf Marbella lies 0.9 km away, its driving range 1.1 km, and Santa María Golf & Country Club 1.9 km, three facilities within a five-minute drive. The Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km adds racquet sports, and two swimming pool facilities (Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km) supplement the seasonal sea swimming. Marinas at Marina Marbella (7.6 km) and Marina la Bajadilla in Marbella (7.8 km) extend options for boating and waterfront dining. The concentration of 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within 2 km means evening outings rarely require a long journey.

Placed against current new-build offerings on the Costa del Sol, this apartment's fixed price of €299,000 for 69 m² (roughly €4,340/m²) compares with from-prices of €269,950 at Aquamar in Torre del Mar, €205,000 at Lantana Residencial in Mijas and €321,000 at Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona. The comparison requires nuance: new-build projects price their base units from a minimum, and actual sizes, specifications and locations within each development vary, whereas this is a completed, fixed-price resale home with parking and storage included. Location-wise, Elviria is generally regarded as more established than Torre del Mar (further east, 40+ km from Málaga airport) and the inland phases of Mijas, and comparable in maturity to parts of Estepona, though Estepona's new stock tends to sit in zones still under development. Elviria's differentiators are its mature pine and cork oak cover, its function as the commercial centre of Marbella East, and its proximity anchors: an international school at 0.8 km, three golf facilities within 2 km, and Marbella itself 9 km away. Resale stock in Marbella East typically trades below Marbella west and the golden mile but above eastern towns such as Torre del Mar, which is consistent with the pricing here. Buyers weighing new build against this apartment are effectively trading brand-new specifications and developer payment terms against an established neighbourhood, immediate availability and known surroundings, the 2006 construction date being the principal offset on the other side of the ledger. The district's transaction volume of 4,743 sales per year indicates an active, liquid local market, relevant both for exit options and for rental comparables.
