A recently renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment situated on the second floor of a front-line beach complex in Elviria, on the eastern side of Marbella. The property measures 88 m² of living space and offers views over the communal pool, the gardens and the Mediterranean Sea. Built in 1990 and since fully refurbished, it is available at a fixed asking price of €895,000. The Elviria area combines low-density residential streets with everyday amenities, and lies roughly 9 km from central Marbella as the crow flies. Parking is available within the private, gated area behind the building.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits directly on the coastline of Elviria, part of Marbella East. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies about 2.0 km away in a straight line, with the complex itself described as front-line beach. Marbella's old town is approximately 6 km from Elviria, and Málaga airport lies about 32 km away in a direct line, with Gibraltar around 64 km distant.
The home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 88 m², with a south-facing orientation that supports daylight in the main living spaces. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control year-round. The communal pool and gardens serve daily outdoor use, while nearby schools, including the English International College at 0.8 km, suit households with children.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1990 and has since undergone a full renovation and refurbishment, described as being in excellent condition. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. No further construction phases or delivery schedules apply to this property.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking space in the listed data; parking is available within the shared gated area behind the building. At 88 m² for three bedrooms, internal space per room is compact. The building dates from 1990, so common facilities follow the standards of that era. No lift, storage room or energy documentation is confirmed in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a holiday home near the sea will find the three-bedroom layout, the children's room already furnished with bunk beds in the current use, and the communal pool directly suited to school-holiday stays. The English International College at 0.8 km and a wider selection of 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the region make the location workable for families considering longer stays or relocation with school-age children. Buyers planning retirement or semi-relocation may value the single-level apartment format, the lift-free second-floor position being a modest flight of stairs, and the concentration of everyday amenities within 2 km: pharmacies, a bank, cafés and restaurants. The hot and cold air conditioning supports year-round residence in a climate averaging 19.1°C annually. It is less self-evident for buyers requiring large internal space, 88 m² for three bedrooms is compact compared with modern new-build standards, or those wanting a private pool, private garden or titled parking space, none of which are included in the listed data. The 1990 construction also means the building predates current insulation and efficiency norms. Buyers prioritising brand-new construction or larger plots would be better served by new-build alternatives elsewhere on the coast.
The property has been recently and fully renovated, and the listing describes its condition as excellent following both renovation and refurbishment. The interior photographs support this: the bathroom photographs show a modern finish with a geometric tile floor, a combined tub-and-shower arrangement and integrated laundry appliances, indicating that wet rooms and utilities were renewed rather than cosmetically refreshed. Bedrooms are shown with large windows framing outdoor views, and the general interior design is described as high-end with a warm, neutral palette. Windows oriented south support natural light, and the combination of sea, beach, garden and pool views is confirmed across multiple sightlines from the apartment. On the technical side, climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both cooling and heating. No data is available on the insulation standard, glazing type, electrical installation or energy documentation of the renovation, and buyers should verify these points during a viewing or technical survey. As the building dates from 1990, the structural shell, roof and communal installations follow the construction standards of that period; the renovation applies to the interior of this apartment rather than the building fabric. Communal elements, the pool, the gardens and the gated parking area behind the building, are shared facilities whose maintenance falls under the community of owners, with associated annual community fees that are not specified in the available data.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €895,000. This is an existing, resale property in a completed 1990 building, not a new-build development with a price list, so no unit variation or from-pricing applies. The price reflects a fully renovated, key-ready home in a front-line beach complex in Elviria, one of the more established coastal districts of Marbella East. For comparison, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), sit in a different price bracket, though they do not offer this property's beachfront position within the Marbella municipality.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around its coastal position. Being on the second floor of a front-line beach complex, the home looks out over the communal pool and gardens towards the sea, and the soundscape is dominated by the shoreline rather than road traffic. The south-facing orientation means the living areas and balcony receive sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, which suits both breakfast outdoors and late-afternoon relaxation. The layout, three bedrooms and two bathrooms over 88 m², supports a small family or a household that regularly hosts guests. The interior photographs show a recently completed renovation with modern bathrooms, one including a tub and separate shower, and bedrooms with large windows oriented towards the outside. A children's bedroom with bunk beds indicates the property has been used as a family holiday home. The immediate surroundings are those of an established residential urbanisation. Elviria is described as a low-density area with villas interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes, covered largely with native pine trees and cork oaks. Within a 2 km radius there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, several supermarkets and shops, 4 pharmacies and a bank, so most daily errands can be done without travelling far. Three bus lines and 39 stops provide a basic public transport network, although a car remains the practical choice for reaching Marbella centre, Puerto Banús or the airport. The rhythm of the area is seasonal: lively in summer months, considerably quieter outside the holiday season.
Elviria functions as the commercial heart of Marbella East, which has practical consequences for daily life: shopping facilities, restaurants, bars and services are concentrated locally rather than spread along the coast road. Within 2 km of the apartment the data lists 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 3 schools, 4 pharmacies and a bank, meaning groceries, dining out and routine errands are all within a short drive or, for part of the offer, walking distance. The natural setting is distinctive for the Costa del Sol: the urbanisation is covered with native pine trees and cork oaks, giving the residential streets a green, low-density character uncommon in the high-rise sections of the coast. Elviria is described as a villa area with low-rise apartment complexes between the villas, which keeps building heights modest. Distances to key destinations (straight-line): El Alicate beach and Playa de Artola at 2.0 km, the marina of Puerto Cabopino at 4.7 km, Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km, Marbella centre at 9 km and Málaga city at 41 km. For sport, Greenlife Golf lies 0.9 km away and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km, while the Don Carlos Tennis Club is 1.8 km from the property. Public transport consists of 3 lines with 39 stops in the area, workable for local trips but limited for commuting; car ownership is the norm here. The nearest train station is in Fuengirola.
The map shows the apartment's position on the Elviria coastline, with the beach directly in front and the green, low-density urbanisation behind it. Marbella centre lies 9 km west as the crow flies, Greenlife Golf under 1 km inland, and the A-7 corridor connecting towards Málaga airport roughly 32 km to the north-east.

Within the Costa del Sol, Elviria occupies a specific niche: it is the recognised centre of Marbella East, combining a commercial offer of its own with a low-density, green residential fabric. It lies 9 km from Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) and 41 km from Málaga (579,076 inhabitants), placing it in the established, higher-value segment of the coast between Marbella and the airport corridor. Compared with the high-rise stretches further east towards Torre del Mar, where comparable-sized new-build apartments start from €269,950, Elviria trades at a premium tied to its Marbella municipality address, its beachfront villa-area character and its concentration of international schools and golf clubs.
By air, the apartment is served by Málaga-Costa del Sol airport at roughly 32 km in a straight line, the most used gateway for the region; Gibraltar airport lies about 64 km away as a secondary option. Road access runs along the A-7 coastal corridor, and Marbella's old town is about 6 km from Elviria by normal route. All distances quoted are direct-line figures, and actual road distances are somewhat longer. Beaches are the defining amenity here: the complex is front-line beach, with El Alicate and Playa de Artola both 2.0 km straight-line from the listed reference point and the shoreline directly below the building. Puerto Cabopino marina, at 4.7 km, offers berths and waterfront dining. Golfers can reach Greenlife Golf at 0.9 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. The Don Carlos Tennis Club lies 1.8 km away. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area, and educational options include the English International College at 0.8 km, one of the closest international schools on this stretch of coast. Parking on site is within the private gated area behind the building, described as ample.

Elviria sits at approximately 30 m above sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is about 1.5%, effectively flat. For walkers and cyclists this means the shoreline is reachable without significant climbing, a practical point in the summer heat. The elevation also means the apartment sits in the coastal temperature zone rather than the warmer inland valleys. Climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, a mild figure that reflects warm summers and comparatively gentle winters. The swimming season, the period with sea water at 20°C or above, lasts about 5 months, roughly May through October, which sets the rhythm for the communal pool and beach use. Beyond the sand, the natural environment is unusually green for the Costa del Sol: the area is covered with native pine and cork oak, so walking and cycling routes through the urbanisation have genuine tree cover. The province records 32 local public holidays per year, and the tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels with 12,781 beds in the wider area indicates a pronounced seasonal pattern, busy in high summer, calm from late autumn to spring.

The apartment's strongest recreational asset is its direct coastal position. As part of a front-line beach complex, the shoreline is immediately accessible, and the listing describes it as sitting just above one of the notable beaches of the Costa del Sol. Within a short radius, El Alicate and Playa de Artola lie 2.0 km away (straight-line) and Playa de Cabopino 4.5 km; Cabopino beach adjoins the dune area of Artola, one of the few natural dune systems left on this coast, and the marina of the same name at 4.7 km adds waterfront restaurants and berths. Golf is the second recreational pillar. Greenlife Golf Marbella lies 0.9 km from the property, a driving range at 1.1 km, and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km, giving residents three golf facilities within a five-minute drive. Tennis is covered by the Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km. Swimming options beyond the sea include pools at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km away, in addition to the communal pool in the complex itself. For broader leisure, Marbella centre at 9 km offers the old town, Alameda park and the marina La Bajadilla (7.8 km). The surrounding pine and cork oak cover gives the residential area walking routes without leaving the urbanisation.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a distinct segment. The listed asking price of €895,000 for 88 m², roughly €10,200 per square metre, places it well above the new-build alternatives cited for comparison: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those projects offer new construction and, in some cases, more internal space per euro, but none combines a front-line beach position with a Marbella municipality address. The premium here is locational rather than structural. The building dates from 1990, whereas the comparables are new-build with current construction standards and developer payment terms. Buyers comparing purely on build quality and price per square metre will find the newer projects stronger; buyers weighing coastline, school proximity and the character of the urbanisation are comparing a different set of attributes. Elviria itself sits between two coastal identities. To the west, Marbella centre (9 km) offers historic-town atmosphere and the marinas of La Bajadilla (7.8 km) and Marina Marbella (7.6 km). To the east, Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km) provides a smaller, quieter marina beside the Artola dunes. Elviria's own profile, a villa area with low-rise complexes, pine and cork oak cover, and a full local amenity base within 2 km, differs from the high-density blocks of Torre del Mar and the more resort-oriented developments of Estepona. Annual housing transactions in the area number around 4,743, indicating an active resale market, and the provincial median income of €16,450 underlines that property values in this district sit well above the regional household average, consistent with its positioning as an established, internationally oriented residential area.
