This two-bedroom, two-bathroom resale apartment is located in Elviria, a low-density residential area on the eastern side of Marbella, roughly 6 km from the old town. The 92 m² home was completed in 2002 and is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €349,995. The property forms part of a gated complex with communal pool and gardens, and includes an underground parking space. Distances in this report are straight-line unless stated otherwise; road distances and travel times may be longer.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Elviria sits between Marbella's old town and the coastal green belt east of the city. The apartment lies about 2.0 km from El Alicate beach, as the crow flies, with golf courses at 0.9 km and 1.9 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 32 km straight-line away. The area combines villa streets with low-rise apartment complexes set among pine and cork oak.
The apartment measures 92 m² with two bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted kitchen and a covered terrace facing south-east with garden and pool views. Air conditioning, double glazing, marble floors, a lift and a dedicated underground parking space are included. The layout and communal facilities suit year-round occupation as well as seasonal use.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 2002 and the apartment is offered in good condition and key-ready, meaning no construction phase or delivery waiting period applies. The price shown is a fixed asking price for this specific resale property, not a starting price from a price list. Any renovation work would be at the buyer's initiative.
The property offers two bedrooms and 92 m² of living space, which sets a clear ceiling on household size and layout flexibility. There is no private pool, private garden or private terrace beyond the covered terrace; outdoor space is communal. The building dates from 2002, so fixtures and installations are of that generation. No information is available about storage rooms, community fees or annual property taxes.

This property fits a buyer who wants a completed, move-in-ready home on the Marbella East coast without a construction waiting period. It is a realistic option for a couple or small family seeking two bedrooms and two bathrooms in a gated setting, with communal pool and garden maintained by the community. Buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave second home benefit from the underground parking space, lift access and the security of a gated complex. Investors may note that the area records 4,743 housing transactions per year and that the apartment is categorised as suitable for investment, with rental demand supported by 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 tourist beds in the vicinity. Buyers who need more than two bedrooms, a private garden or a private pool should look elsewhere, as those features are not part of this offering. Likewise, anyone wanting a brand-new building with modern energy standards will find a 2002 construction date a limitation, even though the condition is described as good. The location also suits buyers who value golf nearby, two courses lie within 2 km, and who prefer a green residential district over a dense front-line-beach tower block. Households without a car should weigh the limited public transport offer carefully.
The apartment's finishing level reflects its 2002 construction date combined with good maintenance. Floors are marble throughout, a standard of that building generation on the Costa del Sol that remains durable and easy to clean. The kitchen is fully fitted with granite countertops and a built-in oven, and both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, which limits the need for immediate furnishing investment. Windows are double glazed, and air conditioning units handle both cooling and, depending on the installation, heating demand. The ensuite bathroom serves the main bedroom; the second bathroom is accessible from the hallway. The covered terrace extends the living space outward and faces south-east, giving sun exposure in the morning and early afternoon plus direct views over the communal garden and pool. As a resale, the technical state of items such as the boiler, electrical installation and community roof should be verified during the purchase process, since the data provided does not cover these elements. Community infrastructure includes a lift and underground parking, both of which reduce daily practicality issues. No energy performance certificate details are given here, and buyers should request the formal documentation from the seller. Overall, the specification is consistent with a well-kept apartment of its era: functional, complete and liveable without immediate works, but not equivalent to current new-build standards in insulation and building technology.
The asking price is fixed at €349,995 for this specific resale apartment; it is not a starting price and no price range applies. For context, new-build projects in comparable coastal municipalities are currently marketed from lower starting figures, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, although those prices typically concern smaller or earlier-phase units and do not include this apartment's location attributes. The property is key-ready, so no staged payments or construction-linked instalments are involved. Availability and viewing arrangements should be confirmed directly.
Daily life in this part of Elviria follows a quiet residential rhythm. The complex is gated, with a communal pool and shared gardens, and the apartment's south-east orientation brings morning and midday sun onto the covered terrace. The interior is arranged for practical use: an open-plan living and dining area, a separate fitted kitchen with granite worktops and oven, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite. Marble flooring runs through the home, and double glazing plus air conditioning cover the main climate needs. Because the building has a lift and the apartment is described as wheelchair friendly, access from the underground parking to the front door is straightforward. Within roughly 2 km there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, so shopping and dining out do not require long trips. Marbella old town is about 9 km away in a straight line for wider amenities. The immediate surroundings are characterised by villa plots and low-rise blocks, with native pines and cork oaks giving the district its green, low-density character. Outside the summer months the area becomes noticeably quieter, as is typical for Marbella East. A car is the most practical mode of transport; three public bus lines with 39 stops serve the wider area, but services are geared to local rather than interurban frequency.
Elviria functions as the centre of Marbella East, with shopping facilities, restaurants and bars within easy reach of the complex. The immediate street scene is low-rise: villas on individual plots with occasional apartment blocks between them, all under a canopy of pine and cork oak. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, enough for daily errands without leaving the district. Education in the wider region includes 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, and the English International College lies 0.8 km away, relevant for families considering international schooling. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km in a straight line; the terrain towards the coast is flat, with an average gradient of 1.5 per cent, so cycling and walking are realistic options for the trip. Playa de Artola is also 2.0 km away and Cabopino beach 4.5 km. For sport, the Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away. The atmosphere outside the tourist season is residential and calm; Elviria's visitor economy is significant but dispersed across hotels rather than concentrated in nightlife zones.
The map shows the apartment's position in Elviria, on Marbella's eastern side. Markers indicate El Alicate and Artola beaches at 2.0 km, three golf courses within 2 km, and the marinas of Cabopino and Marbella further along the coast. Marbella old town lies about 9 km south-west; the map's Mediterranean setting underlines how the green, low-rise district meets the shoreline.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, Elviria occupies a middle position between Marbella's urban core (9 km) and the greener, less dense zones of Marbella East towards Calahonda and Mijas. It is a 45 km drive from the old town of Marbella according to the regional description, though the straight-line distance to Marbella city is 9 km, a reminder that road geography on this coast follows the shoreline. Málaga, the provincial capital, is 41 km straight-line to the north-east and Algeciras 72 km to the south-west. The district's identity is villa-based, with low-rise apartment complexes inserted between the plots, which distinguishes it from the tower-dominated front-line areas of central Marbella or Estepona's newer developments.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless noted. The nearest beach is El Alicate at 2.0 km. Three marinas lie within 8 km: Puerto Cabopino at 4.7 km, Marina Marbella at 7.6 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 7.8 km. Golf is a short trip: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. Marbella city centre is about 9 km away and Málaga, with its 579,000 inhabitants, cultural facilities and main transport hub, approximately 41 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 32 km straight-line, meaning an actual drive of well over half an hour via the A-7 or AP-7. Gibraltar Airport is around 64 km away. Public transport consists of 3 bus lines with 39 stops in the area; these connect Elviria with Marbella and Fuengirola, where the nearest railway station is located. In practice, a car is the standard means of transport for residents, and the included underground parking space covers that need.

Elviria lies at about 30 m above sea level, on flat terrain sloping gently towards the Mediterranean with an average gradient of 1.5 per cent. The regional climate is one of the main draws of this coast: the average annual temperature is 19.1°C, and the swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts five months. This means beach and pool use typically runs from late spring into early autumn, while winter months remain mild enough for outdoor life, golf and walking. The vegetation cover is characteristic of the area: native pine trees and cork oaks dominate the residential districts, giving shade and a distinctly green backdrop unusual for a coastal zone this close to the beach. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler half of the year; the data provided does not include a monthly rainfall figure. For residents, the practical consequence is a climate in which air conditioning, as installed in this apartment, handles the summer peak, while the south-east orientation provides morning sun in winter without the intense afternoon heat load.

The nearest stretches of sand are El Alicate and Playa de Artola, both 2.0 km away as the crow flies. Playa de Cabopino, 4.5 km distant, sits next to Puerto Cabopino marina, where restaurants and boat services cluster. Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km away, offer additional swimming pool facilities. Golf is the area's second recreation pillar: Greenlife Golf Marbella is practically next door at 0.9 km, the associated driving range is 1.1 km away, and Santa María Golf & Country Club, one of the established courses of Marbella East, lies at 1.9 km. Tennis players can use the Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km. The wider recreational offer is reinforced by 52 hotels in the vicinity, which support a year-round supply of dining, spa and leisure facilities open to non-residents. For walkers, the dune area behind Artola beach is one of the protected natural spots of the eastern Marbella coast. In short, recreation within a few kilometres covers beach, golf, tennis, marina and pool options without crossing into Marbella town.

Set against current new-build offerings along the western Costa del Sol, this resale apartment occupies a different segment. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €321,000, all lower entry points than the €349,995 asked here. Those figures, however, are starting prices for new developments, usually for the smallest unit types in earlier phases, and in municipalities further from Marbella's price level. What this property offers in return is immediacy and location maturity: a completed home in a 2002 building with an established garden, established community and an established neighbourhood, roughly 6 km from Marbella old town and 2.0 km from the beach. Torre del Mar and much of Mijas sit at a greater remove from Marbella's amenity base and from the golf cluster that characterises Marbella East. Within Elviria itself, the housing stock is dominated by villas, with low-rise apartment complexes between them; this limits the supply of apartments with two bathrooms, a parking space and communal facilities at this kind of price point. The regional market context matters as well: the province records 4,743 housing transactions per year, and the tourism infrastructure around Elviria, 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, supports rental demand for investors weighing this property against new-build alternatives with delayed delivery. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off directly: a lower starting price and modern building standards elsewhere, versus a finished, gated home in an established Marbella East address available now. Community fees, IBI and basura taxes for this apartment are not included in the provided data and should be requested before comparison with new-build running costs.
