This duplex penthouse is situated in Elviria, in the eastern part of Marbella, approximately 6 km from Marbella's old town. The property offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 120 m² of living space and forms part of a front-line beach complex with direct beach access. The asking price is €1,070,000 and the property is completed, dating originally from 1970 with a recent renovation. The complex includes communal swimming pools and tropical gardens. The location sits in a low-density residential area with native pine and cork oak vegetation, with a supermarket within roughly 500 metres and several golf courses within 2 km.
Within Elviria and the wider Marbella East strip, this property competes primarily in the resale market for front-line or near-beach apartments. New-build alternatives in the broader province are priced substantially lower at entry level, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, but these differ on three counts: location maturity, product type and position relative to the beach. Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona sit at greater distances from Marbella's amenity core and from the specific micro-market of Marbella East, where established front-line complexes with tourist licences trade at a premium per square metre. At €1,070,000 for 120 m², the implied rate of roughly €8,900/m² is high relative to the provincial average but consistent with renovated front-line stock in this district, where scarcity of tourist-licensed units supports pricing. Buyers weighing alternatives would typically compare against other resale units in Elviria, Los Monteros and Playa de las Chapas, where 1970s-1990s complexes with direct beach access form the competing stock. The key differentiators here are the licence, the duplex configuration with 180-degree sea views from the master suite, and walkable access to Elviria's commercial centre, features not uniformly present across the competing supply. The trade-off is building age: new-build buyers obtain modern construction standards and warranties but generally not front-line positions in this segment of Marbella. The documented rental history provides an empirical basis for investment analysis that off-plan purchases cannot offer.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Elviria, Marbella East, in a front-line beach complex at approximately 30 metres above sea level with flat terrain towards the coast. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is around 2 km away, with Playa de Artola and Cabopino slightly further. Málaga airport lies approximately 32 km away in a straight line. Daily amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy are reachable on foot.
The dwelling is configured as a duplex penthouse with three en-suite bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, living room and multiple terraces including a chill-out area and BBQ. Air conditioning and a fireplace provide climate control year-round. The property is sold fully furnished. Communal pools and gardens form part of the complex facilities. The south and west orientation affects sun exposure on the terraces.
This is not a new-build development. The complex dates from 1970 (indicative) and the property has been recently renovated. Construction is completed, meaning no waiting period applies. The building's age means structural and installation conditions correspond to an older development that has been modernised internally, which is a relevant consideration regarding maintenance obligations and community standards.
The property has no private pool; only communal pools are available. It is an apartment within a 1970s complex rather than a detached villa. No private garden belongs to the unit. A valid tourist rental licence is present, which places the unit under rental regulations. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data. The asking price is stated as firm with limited negotiability.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A buyer seeking a turnkey second residence on the Costa del Sol will find a completed, furnished and recently renovated unit where occupancy is possible immediately after purchase. A buyer combining personal use with rental income can use the tourist licence, described as relatively rare within the development, to operate short-term lettings during periods of absence, with a documented rental track record available for review. Families with school-age children have three schools within 2 km and the English International College at 0.8 km, which supports longer stays or partial relocation. Buyers prioritising walkability will note that supermarket, pharmacy and numerous restaurants are within short walking distance, reducing car dependency for daily errands. Golf players benefit from two courses and a driving range within 2 km. The property is less obviously suited to buyers seeking a detached villa with private pool and garden, buyers requiring new-build construction standards, or buyers focused on the lowest entry price in the region, given the firm pricing at the upper resale level. The seasonal rental arrangement (available October 2026 to June 2027, minimum one month) also signals the owner's current usage pattern, which frames the timing of any transaction.
The property is listed as recently renovated and fully furnished, with a fully fitted kitchen and modern bathrooms, the photographic material shows a contemporary bathroom with double vanity and shower, and a bright living room with sea views through large windows. Technical systems include air conditioning for cooling and a fireplace for supplementary heating, which together cover the temperature range of a climate averaging 19.1°C annually. Connectivity is provided via WiFi. The outdoor spaces comprise multiple terraces, including a covered terrace and a private terrace with a chill-out area and BBQ, matching the Mediterranean pattern of extended living space outdoors. The master suite offers 180-degree sea views, indicating an upper-floor position within the duplex configuration. It should be noted that the building envelope originates from a 1970 construction, meaning the renovation applies to interiors and installations rather than the underlying structure. Community elements, tropical gardens, several swimming pools and direct beach access, are maintained collectively, and their condition depends on community management. Energy efficiency data is not stated in the available material; for a building of this age with a recent internal renovation, an energy performance certificate would provide the relevant figures. Prospective buyers would typically verify the state of plumbing, electrics and insulation during technical due diligence, as is standard for renovated units in older complexes.
The asking price is €1,070,000, stated as firm with only slight negotiability. At 120 m² of built area with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, this positions the property in the upper segment of Elviria's resale market, which is consistent with front-line beach locations and the presence of a tourist rental licence. The licence adds a rental income dimension; income figures are available to serious buyers on request, allowing a yield assessment based on actual performance rather than projections. Comparable new-build projects in the wider province start from €205,000 to €270,000, but these are located in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona and are not directly equivalent in terms of position or product type.
Daily life at this property is organised around a coastal routine in a low-density section of Marbella East. The duplex layout places the main living areas and terraces towards the south and west, which determines when the outdoor spaces receive sun: mornings indoors, with terrace use extending into the evening given the westerly aspect. The beach is reachable on foot within roughly twenty minutes or a short drive, and the complex itself offers direct beach access and communal pools, meaning swimming options exist both on-site and at the coast. Elviria's commercial core lies within walking distance, a supermarket at roughly 500 metres, a pharmacy at under 500 metres, and a concentration of restaurants and cafés in the wider area, with 29 restaurants counted within a 2 km radius. This density of amenities reduces dependence on the car for daily shopping and dining. The surroundings are characterised by native pine and cork oak, which shapes the street scene more than dense construction. The area functions year-round rather than purely seasonally, supported by three schools within 2 km and the English International College at approximately 800 metres. For owners using the property part-time, the flat terrain and walkable amenities simplify logistics, while the presence of an EV charging point at 1.1 km reflects the area's gradual infrastructural modernisation. Golf facilities at Greenlife Golf (805 m) and Santa María Golf (1.8 km) sit within a short drive or cycle, making the morning round a practical routine rather than an excursion. Marbella's old town, 6 km west, serves as the reference point for broader services, culture and nightlife.
Elviria functions as the centre of Marbella East, a low-density residential area with villa zones interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes. Vegetation consists mainly of native pine and cork oak, giving the district a greener character than more densely built coastal strips. Daily provisions are close: supermarket at 511 m, pharmacy at 445 m, and 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and a bank within a 2 km radius. Healthcare access includes a hospital at 3.6 km and 5 health centres in the wider area. Transport is served by 3 public transport lines with 39 stops, and the flat terrain (1.5% slope towards the beach at 30 m elevation) makes cycling and walking practical for local trips. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 2.0-2.1 km away, with Playa de Artola at 1.9 km and Cabopino at 4.4 km. Marbella old town is 6 km away by road. Tourism pressure exists, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds are registered in the area, which means the district is busier in summer months and quieter outside the season, a pattern typical of Marbella East.

The location records approximately 3,855 sunshine hours per year (historical data) and a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C, placing it among the sunnier microclimates of the Iberian Peninsula. The swimming season extends to roughly five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, generally from late May into October. Elevation is 30 metres above sea level with a 1.5% slope towards the coast, meaning flat access on foot or by bicycle and no stair-intensive terrain between the property and the beach. The surrounding vegetation, pine and cork oak, contributes to the green character of Elviria and provides some natural shade and wind buffering. The south-west orientation of the property aligns with afternoon and evening sun on the terraces, relevant for outdoor use patterns. Winters are mild by northern European standards, with the fireplace providing supplementary warmth on cooler evenings.
