This is a completed ground-floor apartment of 54 m² in Elviria Romana Playa, in the Elviria district of Marbella, approximately six kilometres east of the old town. The property has one bedroom, one bathroom, a private terrace, and access to a communal pool and garden within a gated complex. Elviria is a low-density residential area with shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the nearest beaches at roughly two kilometres. The listing carries a tourist licence, which is a relevant fact for buyers considering rental use. The building dates from 1990 and the apartment is described as being in excellent condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an established urbanisation in Elviria, the commercial centre of Marbella East. A supermarket lies 511 metres away and a pharmacy 445 metres, with 29 restaurants within a two-kilometre radius. Greenlife Golf is 805 metres away and the beaches of El Alicate and Playa de Artola are roughly two kilometres. Málaga airport is 32 kilometres away in a straight line.
The property functions as a compact one-bedroom residence with a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and double glazing. A private terrace extends the living space outdoors, and the communal pool and garden provide shared amenities without private maintenance obligations. The gated complex adds controlled access. The layout suits single or two-person use.
This is not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1990 (indicative) and the apartment is available immediately. Features such as double glazing, air conditioning and the fitted kitchen reflect the current condition of the unit rather than a developer specification. There is no phased delivery or off-plan purchase process involved.
The property offers one bedroom and one bathroom across 54 m² of built area, which limits its capacity for families or guests. There is no private pool, private garden or private parking mentioned in the listing. The complex is communal, so outdoor space is shared. The building dates from 1990, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations.
This property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. A single person or couple seeking a low-maintenance second home in an established Marbella-area residential zone will find the 54 m² layout and communal garden straightforward to manage between visits. Buyers focused on rental income benefit from the tourist licence, which legally permits short-term letting, and the walking-distance amenities support occupancy outside peak weeks. Purchasers who want immediate availability rather than an off-plan waiting period can use the property from completion onward, since construction finished in 1990 and the unit is described as excellent condition. Owners who value a green, low-density environment with pines and cork oaks, but with urban services nearby, match Elviria's profile. The property is less suitable for buyers needing two or more bedrooms, private outdoor space beyond the terrace, a private pool, or dedicated parking, since none of these are listed. Those intending to work from Marbella town daily will find the six-kilometre distance manageable by car but should account for coastal traffic in season. Buyers prioritising energy certificates, modern insulation standards or new-build warranties should instead consider current new-build stock, as this building predates current regulations. Finally, investors comparing purely on price per square metre will find newer and larger alternatives in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona at lower entry points, trading off the Marbella East address and licence.
The listing describes the condition as excellent, with a fully fitted kitchen including appliances, a modern bathroom with shower, fitted wardrobes in the bedroom, double glazing and air conditioning. The photographic material confirms a modern kitchen with appliances, a contemporary bathroom, and a bedroom furnished with wardrobe and television, alongside the communal pool area and a balcony-style terrace with a planted outlook. These observations indicate a property that has been maintained or refurbished to a standard consistent with current buyer expectations for this segment. The double glazing improves acoustic comfort and thermal performance relative to single-glazed stock of the same era, and air conditioning provides active climate control for the warm months. It should be noted that the building dates from 1990, so structural elements, insulation values and communal installations reflect that period unless upgraded; no energy certificate rating is stated in the available data. Buyers are advised to verify the state of the communal infrastructure, including the pool installation, roof and building envelope through the community of owners, and to request the ITE (technical building inspection) if applicable. The apartment's compact 54 m² footprint means the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom carry the full functional load, so their condition is directly relevant to daily use. There is no mention of storage rooms, underground parking or lifts in the listing, and these should be confirmed during a viewing.
The asking price is €415,000. This positions the property above comparable new-build apartments further along the coast, such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), reflecting the established Marbella East location, the tourist licence and the completed, ready-to-use condition. At 54 m² built, the price per square metre is high relative to those comparators, which is typical for Elviria. Buyers should treat the price as a starting point for negotiation, and the listing is marked as reduced.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around Elviria's established residential infrastructure. The supermarket at 511 metres and the pharmacy at 445 metres make routine errands feasible on foot, and the density of restaurants and cafés within two kilometres means that eating out or meeting people does not require a car. The area is characterised by native pine trees and cork oaks between villa plots and low-rise apartment complexes, which produces a green, low-density setting rather than a dense resort strip. The apartment's ground-floor position with a private terrace lends itself to outdoor use for much of the year, supported by an average annual temperature of 19.1°C and roughly 3,855 hours of sunshine per year. Mornings can plausibly start on the terrace; the communal pool is available without maintenance responsibility. The beach at El Alicate or Playa de Artola is about two kilometres away, flat terrain with a 1.5% slope, reachable by bicycle or a short drive. Three public transport lines and 39 stops in the area provide an alternative to driving, though a car remains practical for reaching Marbella old town, six kilometres west, or the hospital 3.6 kilometres away. Outside the summer season Elviria remains a lived-in residential area, since it functions as the year-round centre of Marbella East with permanent residents and local businesses rather than depending solely on tourism. For a buyer using the property part-time, the tourist licence widens the possible letting periods; for a permanent resident, the walking-distance amenities reduce daily car dependency.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with functional density. Within two kilometres there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, a bank and 3 schools, alongside 41 primary and 28 secondary schools counted in the wider area. Healthcare is represented by 5 health centres locally and a hospital at 3.6 kilometres. The terrain is essentially flat at 30 metres above sea level, so walking and cycling are practical; the 1.5% slope to the beach poses no barrier. Public transport consists of 3 lines with 39 stops, which covers local movement but is limited for longer journeys; Málaga airport is 32 kilometres away by straight line and typically 40–50 minutes by car depending on traffic on the A-7. Elviria's character as the centre of Marbella East means services operate year-round, and the tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds nearby indicates seasonal demand without the immediate residential area being a hotel strip. Traffic on the coastal road increases in July and August, which buyers should factor into travel-time expectations.
The map shows the apartment's position within Elviria between the coastal road and the green belt of pine and cork oak. The clustering of golf courses to the north and beaches within two kilometres illustrates the compact scale of daily life here, while Marbella town and Cabopino marina sit at the edges of the immediate area.

The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around five months, roughly May to October. The site sits at 30 metres above sea level with a 1.5% slope towards the sea, meaning flat access without stairs or steep paths. The surrounding vegetation of native pines and cork oaks, noted as characteristic of Elviria, provides shade and a green canopy unusual for such proximity to built-up services. Nearby natural features include the dune-backed beaches of Artola and Cabopino, the latter adjacent to a protected dune system. The regional climate supports outdoor terrace use for most of the year.

Within the eastern Marbella segment, Elviria competes primarily on the combination of an established service infrastructure and a low-density, vegetated setting. Compared with Los Monteros and Santa Clara to the west, Elviria offers more practical amenities at walking distance while remaining marginally more affordable per square metre. Compared with Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas to the east, it carries the Marbella municipal address and a more consolidated villa-and-low-rise character, at a corresponding price premium. The listed comparators sit in a different segment: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. These are new-build projects further from the Marbella core, offering larger floor areas and modern specifications at lower entry prices, but without an established residential environment, without a tourist licence where not stated, and with off-plan or recent delivery timelines rather than immediate use. At €415,000 for 54 m², this apartment trades floor area and new-build specification for location, licence and readiness. Buyers comparing on rental yield should weigh the licence's operational value against the higher capital outlay: short-term letting in Elviria is supported by year-round amenities and 52 hotels' worth of tourist demand in the vicinity, but occupancy depends on active management. On the resale market, Elviria's transaction volume, 4,743 recorded transactions in the dataset, indicates liquidity relative to smaller coastal enclaves. The decision for most buyers reduces to whether the Marbella East address and letting permission justify roughly a 50–100% price premium per square metre over the new-build alternatives in Mijas, Estepona or Torre del Mar.
