A ground-floor apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the White Pearl Beach II complex in Elviria, on the eastern side of Marbella. The property measures 97 m² of living space and was completed in 1997. It is offered key-ready and fully furnished, with a fixed asking price of €685,000. The complex sits near the coast, with El Alicate beach roughly 2 km away as the crow flies. Elviria is a low-density residential area with shops, restaurants and services within walking distance, and Marbella's old town approximately 9 km away.
Within the Costa del Sol market, Elviria occupies a specific niche: an established, low-density residential area that functions as the service centre of Marbella East. Compared with the comparable new-build projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), this apartment is priced well above those entry points, and the difference is explained by three factors. First, it is a resale home in a mature, sought-after beachside complex rather than an off-plan unit in an emerging or more peripheral location. Second, the Elviria, Marbella East postcode carries a price level consistent with its position between Marbella centre (9 km) and one of the coast's most established international residential communities. Third, the immediate surroundings are unusually well-served for this price bracket: three golf courses within about 2 km, an international school at roughly 800 m, and 29 restaurants within a 2 km radius. Against Marbella's prime beachfront zones further west, Elviria offers a quieter, greener setting with native pine and cork oak vegetation, at prices generally below the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús. Against eastern alternatives such as Estepona, it trades newer construction for location maturity and service density. The 1997 build year is the main specification gap relative to new-build competitors; buyers comparing directly with off-plan product should factor in the absence of new-build warranties and current-code insulation standards, while weighing the advantage of immediate availability and no construction risk. Housing activity in the area is substantial, with roughly 4,743 transactions per year recorded locally, indicating a liquid resale market with regular buyer interest. For buyers prioritising walkability, golf access and an established community over new-build finishes, this position in Elviria remains a rational choice within the regional market.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Elviria, a residential area about 9 km east of Marbella's historic centre. The surroundings are urban with amenities reachable on foot: a supermarket at roughly 511 m and a pharmacy at about 445 m. Beaches such as Playa de Artola and El Alicate are around 2 km away in a straight line, meaning actual road distances are somewhat longer.
The layout serves a household of two to three people: two bedrooms, two bathrooms including an en-suite, a fully fitted kitchen and a living room opening onto a private terrace. The terrace connects to communal gardens and a communal pool. Air conditioning, marble flooring, fitted wardrobes, double glazing and a storage room are present, and the property is sold furnished.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1997 and is offered in good, key-ready condition, which means it can be occupied directly after purchase. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies. Any modernisation would be at the buyer's own initiative and cost; no works are currently included in the asking price.
The property has no private pool and no private garden; both are communal facilities shared with other residents. Parking is not listed among the features, so no private parking space is documented. The building dates from 1997, so installations predate current new-build standards. There is no sea view; recorded views face the garden and pool area.
This apartment fits a buyer who wants an immediately usable home rather than a project. Because it is key-ready and furnished, it suits those purchasing a second residence who want to arrive with suitcases rather than contractors, as well as relocators who need a base in the Marbella area without a renovation period. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout works for couples, small families with one child, or owners who regularly host guests and value the en-suite arrangement. The ground-floor position with direct terrace access to the pool and gardens is relevant for people who prefer to avoid stairs and want outdoor space that functions as an extension of the living room. It is less obvious for buyers seeking four or more bedrooms, a private pool or a private garden, since those features are not part of this property. Buyers focused on panoramic sea views should also note that the recorded views face the garden and pool area. Practical accessibility is a strong point: a supermarket at about 511 m and a pharmacy at roughly 445 m mean daily life can largely be conducted on foot, which appeals to residents who prefer not to depend on a car for every errand. Finally, the 1997 construction year means the property will not carry new-build warranties; buyers who prioritise recent construction standards should weigh that explicitly. In short, the profile matches buyers valuing location, walkability and immediate usability over new-build specification.
The interior finishing reflects the standards of its 1997 construction combined with subsequent maintenance. Floors are marble throughout, a finish typical of the better Marbella-area complexes of that period and one that keeps interiors cool in summer. Windows are double glazed, which reduces external noise and improves thermal comfort relative to single glazing. Climate control is covered by air conditioning with hot-air capability, so both cooling and heating are handled by the same installation. The kitchen is fully fitted with cabinets and appliances, and both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, which reduces the immediate need for additional furniture purchases. The en-suite bathroom features a dual-vanity unit and a tub, indicating a reasonably generous specification in the wet areas. One point of attention follows directly from the age: a 1997 building will not match current technical building codes on insulation, energy performance or electrical capacity. Buyers planning intensive modernisation, such as a heat pump, induction cooking or an extensive solar installation, should verify the electrical installation and community rules beforehand. A storage room provides space for suitcases, bicycles and seasonal items, and WiFi is installed. The communal parts, including the landscaped gardens and pool visible in the complex photographs, are maintained to a level consistent with an established, well-run beachfront community. Overall, the specification is coherent and complete for immediate residential use, with the caveat that some installations are approaching thirty years of service and their condition should be confirmed through a technical survey before purchase.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €685,000. This is an existing resale property, not a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-price to compare. The price reflects a furnished, key-ready home of 97 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in a beachside complex in Elviria. For regional context, new-build projects in locations further along the coast, such as Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, currently advertise from-prices between roughly €205,000 and €270,000, though those concern different locations, build phases and product types. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position; completion dates for the transaction itself are indicative and depend on the notarial process.
Daily life here revolves around a ground-floor apartment that opens almost seamlessly onto the communal grounds. The living room leads to a private terrace and from there to landscaped gardens and the shared pool, which makes outdoor living part of the ordinary routine rather than a planned outing. With a south-west orientation, the terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, which suits late lunches outdoors and early-evening relaxation after a day out. The 97 m² interior is arranged around two bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. That second bathroom matters practically: guests or a second bedroom can be used without crossing the main bedroom. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the property comes furnished, so the barrier to moving in is low. Elviria itself functions as the commercial heart of Marbella East. Within a short walk there are supermarkets, a pharmacy, banks, cafés and a wide choice of restaurants, meaning daily errands do not require a car. The area is characterised by low-rise apartment complexes set between villas, with native pine and cork oak vegetation giving the streets a green, established feel. For recreation, three golf facilities sit within about 2 km, including Greenlife Golf at roughly 800 m, and the coast's beaches are a few minutes away by car or bicycle. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons: busy and social in summer, considerably quieter in winter months, when many of the international residents return to a slower, village-like pace.
Elviria occupies a practical middle ground between Marbella's residential east side and the services of a self-contained neighbourhood. The immediate surroundings are urban with amenities within walking distance: 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank within a 2 km radius. This density means that breakfast, groceries and everyday services are matters of a short stroll rather than a drive. The nearest supermarket sits about 511 m away and the nearest pharmacy roughly 445 m, both comfortably walkable. For health matters beyond daily needs, a hospital is located 3.6 km away in a straight line. Greenlife Golf lies about 800 m away, with a driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at approximately 1.8 km, making the location workable for regular golfers without long car journeys. The English International College, an international school, is roughly 0.8 km away, relevant for families considering year-round residence. Public transport exists in the form of 3 bus lines with 39 stops in the area, which covers basic connectivity, though most residents in this part of Marbella rely on a car for longer trips. The area's character is low-density and green, with pine trees and cork oaks between the villas and low-rise apartment blocks. Compared with central Marbella, the pace is calmer; compared with purely rural inland areas, the level of services is markedly higher.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Elviria is positioned as the centre of Marbella East, about 9 km from Marbella's old town and 41 km from Málaga. This places the apartment within the established residential belt between Marbella and Fuengirola's hinterland, close enough to the city for evening visits yet far enough to retain a low-density, villa-dominated character. Within the wider Costa del Sol, the location benefits from short distances to both Marbella and the airport at 32 km, a more balanced position than Estepona or Sotogrande further west. Tourism infrastructure in the area is substantial, 52 hotels with roughly 12,800 beds, confirming the year-round service level of the surroundings.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are somewhat longer. The nearest beaches are El Alicate and Playa de Artola at about 2 km, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.4 km. The gradient from the apartment to the coast is roughly 1.5%, effectively flat, so cycling to the beach is realistic. Marbella's centre lies about 9 km away and Málaga city 41 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 32 km distant, with Gibraltar Airport as a secondary option at about 64 km. Golf facilities cluster close by: Greenlife Golf Marbella at roughly 800 m, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf at 1.8 km. An electric-vehicle charging point is available 1.1 km away. Marinas at Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km), Marina Marbella (7.6 km) and La Bajadilla in Marbella (7.8 km) cover mooring and waterfront dining. Public transport comprises 3 lines with 39 stops, adequate for local trips, though a car remains the practical choice for airport transfers and regional travel.

The location sits at roughly 30 m above sea level on a near-flat coastal plain, with a gradient of about 1.5% towards the beach, so walking and cycling involve no meaningful climbs. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.1°C. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or higher, which in practice spans roughly late May to early October. The surrounding vegetation consists largely of native pine trees and cork oaks, giving Elviria a greener and more established appearance than denser coastal strips. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, while summers are dry and sunny, in line with the general Costa del Sol pattern. For residents, this translates into outdoor use of the terrace and pool for most of the year, with the south-west orientation favouring afternoon and evening sun. The modest elevation means no sea breeze is lost to height, and the flat terrain keeps everyday mobility simple for all ages.

The coastline near Elviria offers several distinct options within a short radius. El Alicate and Playa de Artola lie about 2 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.4 km; Cabopino sits beside a marina and against the Artola dunes, a protected natural area with walking paths through the sand formations. Swimming pools are available at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both about 2.5 km away, as alternatives outside the warm months. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of this specific location: Greenlife Golf Marbella is roughly 800 m away, its driving range 1.1 km, and Santa María Golf & Country Club about 1.8 km, so three facilities sit within a five-minute drive. Tennis players can use the Don Carlos Tennis Club approximately 1.8 km away. For waterfront leisure beyond the beach, Puerto Cabopino marina (4.7 km) offers chiringuitos and moorings in a small-scale setting. The immediate neighbourhood adds 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within 2 km, which covers most everyday and evening outings without travelling into central Marbella.
