This ground-floor apartment lies in the White Pearl Beach community in Elviria, on the eastern side of Marbella. The property has two bedrooms, three bathrooms and 90 m² of living space, and was completed in 1997 with a subsequent renovation that included a new kitchen. The asking price is fixed at €725,000. The apartment faces south, includes a private terrace, a garage space and a storage room, and sits within a gated community with communal gardens, a heated swimming pool and 24-hour security. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies approximately 2.0 km away as the crow flies.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the current crop of new-build developments used for comparison. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. All three are price-list projects with 'from' prices for unbuilt or newly delivered units, whereas the €725,000 asked here is a fixed price for a single, completed and renovated home. The premium over those starting prices is largely a location premium: Elviria sits in the established core of Marbella East, 6 km from Marbella old town, with an amenity density, 29 restaurants, three golf courses and an international school within 2 km, that the eastern and western expansion zones cannot yet match. Torre del Mar and eastern Mijas are functionally cheaper but further from Marbella and its service infrastructure; Estepona offers new construction at scale but lies roughly 30 km further west along the coast. A second difference is immediacy: a key-ready 1997 building with a completed renovation allows occupancy directly after purchase, while new-build buyers face delivery schedules and construction risk. The trade-off is building age, a 1997 construction carries different maintenance expectations than a 2020s development, and this should be weighed in the total cost of ownership. Elviria's villa-dominated fabric and its pine and cork oak cover also distinguish it from the denser apartment zones of Fuengirola and Torre del Mar, where the comparable projects are located. For a buyer prioritising location maturity over square metres per euro, the Elviria position competes with resale stock in Marbella East rather than with off-plan listings further afield.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Elviria is a low-density residential area roughly 6 km from Marbella's old town, characterised by villas interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes and native pine and cork oak vegetation. The apartment lies beachside within this urbanisation. Marbella centre is 9 km away in a straight line; Málaga and its airport are reachable via the coastal motorway.
The layout offers two bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and marble flooring, combined with a south-facing private terrace for outdoor living. Communal facilities include a heated pool and maintained gardens. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold climate control. A lift serves the building, and a private garage plus separate storage room cover parking and stowing needs.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1997 and is key-ready following a renovation that included a brand-new kitchen and renewed interiors. Construction status is listed as complete, so no delivery date applies. Any dates connected to renovation works are indicative and depend on confirmation from the current owner.
The property offers 90 m² of living space with two bedrooms, which limits space for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The listed orientation is south and south-west, but views are limited to garden and pool areas rather than open sea panoramas. No data is available regarding community fees, annual taxes or rental licence status.
This property fits a buyer seeking a turn-key home rather than a construction project. A first situation is the couple or retiree wanting a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol with manageable dimensions: 90 m², two bedrooms and ground-floor access with a lift in the building reduce practical barriers. A second situation is the buyer of a second home who values a south-facing terrace and a heated pool usable outside the peak season, allowing visits in spring and autumn rather than only in summer. A third recognisable case is the international family: the English International College at 0.8 km and three schools within 2 km make the location workable for school-age children. The property is less obvious for buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or panoramic sea views, since none of these are part of the offering. Buyers focused purely on the lowest entry price may find new-build alternatives further east or west along the coast at substantially lower starting prices, though in different locations with longer distances to Marbella. The renovation status removes the scenario of planning works before moving in, which appeals to buyers who want occupancy shortly after purchase.
The apartment was built in 1997 and has since undergone a renovation that included a brand-new kitchen and renewed interiors, with the property currently listed in excellent condition. The flooring is marble throughout, a material typical of higher-end Costa del Sol construction from this period and valued for its durability and cool surface in warm months. Fitted wardrobes are present in the sleeping areas, and the master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, giving the two-bedroom layout a three-bathroom total. Climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, covering year-round temperature regulation independently of any central system. The building has a lift, which matters for a ground-floor unit mainly for accessing the garage and storage levels. The private garage space and separate storage room are deeded practical features rather than extras. The communal parts are described as maintained gardens with a heated swimming pool and 24-hour security, indicating an active community management structure. As with any property of this age, buyers are advised to verify the technical state of installations such as plumbing and electrics during the due diligence phase, since renovation dates for these systems are not specified in the available data.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €725,000. This is not a price-list project, so there is no spread of unit prices; the figure applies to this specific property with its two bedrooms, three bathrooms, 90 m² of living area, garage space and storage room. Compared with new-build developments elsewhere on the coast, where apartments start between roughly €205,000 and €321,000, this price reflects the Elviria location, the renovation condition and the communal facilities of the White Pearl Beach community. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready and completed. Ongoing costs such as community fees and annual taxes are not stated in the available data and should be requested separately.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the ground-floor layout and the south-facing terrace, which receives sun for most of the day and connects the living space with the communal gardens. With the heated communal pool open beyond the summer months, outdoor use is not strictly limited to high season, which suits both permanent residents and seasonal occupants. The two-bedroom configuration with three bathrooms, including an en-suite, works for a couple, a small family or guests staying for extended periods. Elviria itself functions as the hub of Marbella East: shops, restaurants, cafés and a pharmacy are concentrated in the commercial centre, with 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within a 2 km radius, so most daily errands can be done locally without driving into Marbella. The area is described as lively but low density, meaning activity comes from local amenities and tourism rather than dense urban traffic. Three bus lines and 39 stops provide basic public transport, though a car remains practical for reaching Marbella centre, the airport or the golf courses further inland. The English International College lies 0.8 km away, a relevant point for families considering schooling options in English. The terrain is flat, with a 1.5% gradient towards the beach, which makes walking and cycling realistic for shorter trips within the neighbourhood.
The immediate surroundings combine residential quiet with practical density. Within 2 km there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, a bank and 3 schools, which covers most daily needs without leaving Elviria. The commercial centre of Elviria functions as the heart of Marbella East, so services extend beyond the 2 km radius in practice. For leisure, Greenlife Golf lies 0.9 km away with a driving range at 1.1 km, and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km, placing three golf facilities within walking or short driving distance. The Don Carlos Tennis Club is 1.8 km away. Beaches are reachable at 2.0 km: El Alicate and Playa de Artola are the closest, both flat to reach given the 1.5% gradient. Marinas at Cabopino (4.7 km) and Marbella (7.6–7.8 km) offer mooring-adjacent dining and walks. The area's vegetation of pines and cork oaks gives Elviria a greener character than the concrete-denser sections of the coast, and the low-rise villa fabric keeps density low year-round, including outside the tourist season when 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds in the wider area still generate some visitor activity.

Elviria occupies the central position within Marbella East, roughly 6 km from Marbella's old town and about 9 km straight-line from the city centre. This places the apartment close enough to Marbella's dining, culture and shopping for regular visits, while remaining in a lower-density residential setting. To the east lie the communities towards Calahonda and Fuengirola, and to the west the successive Marbella districts leading to Puerto Banús. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, is 41 km away straight-line and provides the region's airport and train connections. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, Elviria is positioned as a middle-segment established area: more built-out than Estepona, more villa-dominated than Fuengirola or Torre del Mar.
Distances in this section are straight-line; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 2.0 km away, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. Marbella centre is 9 km away in a straight line and Málaga city 41 km, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 32 km straight-line, typically under an hour by road depending on traffic. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 64 km. Public transport consists of 3 bus lines with 39 stops in the area, sufficient for connections towards Marbella and Fuengirola, where the nearest train station is located. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 provide the main axes; a private garage space is included with the apartment, which simplifies parking in a villa-area environment where street parking is not always guaranteed. For everyday trips, the flat terrain and the concentration of amenities within 2 km make walking and cycling viable options for shorter journeys.

Elviria sits at 30 metres above sea level with a gradient towards the beach of only 1.5%, meaning the terrain is effectively flat and no stair-climbing or steep walks are involved in reaching the coast. The average annual temperature is 19.1°C, consistent with the mild Mediterranean climate of the Marbella area, where winters rarely produce frost and summers are warm but moderated by sea proximity. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October. Combined with the heated communal pool, water-based recreation extends beyond the natural beach season. The area's vegetation, pine trees and cork oaks, is native to this stretch of coast and contributes to air quality and the green appearance of the urbanisation. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving the remainder of the year predominantly dry, which favours terrace use; the south-facing orientation of this apartment's terrace aligns with that pattern, receiving sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon.

The closest beaches, El Alicate and Playa de Artola, both lie 2.0 km away as the crow flies. Playa de Artola borders the Artola dunes, a protected natural area, and continues towards Cabopino, whose beach and marina sit at 4.5 km, a distance that also brings the nudist cove and beach bars of that stretch within range. For swimming outside the sea season, the communal heated pool in White Pearl Beach is the on-site option, with additional pool facilities such as Playa Real 2.5 km away. Golf is a defining recreational feature of this location: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km form a cluster of courses reachable within minutes. The Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km covers racquet sports. Three marinas, Cabopino, Marina Marbella and La Bajadilla, lie between 4.7 and 7.8 km away, offering sailing, dining and waterfront walks within a short drive.
