A fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the established residential area of Guadalmina Alta, on the western side of San Pedro de Alcántara near Marbella. The property measures approximately 94 m² of built space plus a covered terrace of about 20.5 m² and looks out over the adjacent golf course. Completed in 2000 and available key-ready, it is offered at a fixed asking price of €435,000, including a private parking space. The complex is gated and offers a communal pool and gardens, with beaches such as Playa Atalaya roughly 2.3 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Alta sits inland from the coastal strip between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, immediately beside the fairways of the Guadalmina golf course. Marbella lies about 11 km away in a straight line, while several beaches, including Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro, are each around 2.3 km from the apartment.
The layout serves two occupants comfortably: a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and direct terrace access, a second bedroom, and a living and dining room with a fireplace that opens onto the covered terrace. The kitchen is fitted, the property comes furnished, and gas central heating covers the cooler months. Marble flooring and fitted wardrobes are present throughout.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2000 and is described as being in good, key-ready condition, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Delivery dates for existing homes of this type are not subject to construction phasing, although completion of the purchase process itself remains indicative in timing.
The apartment has no air conditioning; climate control in winter is provided by gas central heating only. The orientation is north-west, which limits direct sunlight on the terrace to the latter part of the day. The terrace is covered rather than open, the kitchen is only partially fitted, and the property is an apartment within a gated complex rather than a detached villa with private garden.

This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home with turnkey condition will find the furnished delivery, en-suite arrangement and communal pool directly practical, since nothing needs to be installed or purchased before the first stay. Golf players place particular value on the frontline position relative to the Guadalmina course and the short distances to El Campanario and El Paraíso, allowing play without a long journey. Buyers prioritising year-round residency benefit from the gas central heating, the proximity of schools and international schools within roughly 2.6 to 9.1 km, and everyday amenities clustered within 2 km. The property is less suited to buyers who want sea views or walking-distance beach access, since the coast is about 2.3 km away as the crow flies and a car remains the normal means of reaching it. Those wanting afternoon sun on a terrace all day should note the north-west orientation, which receives light mainly from late afternoon onwards. The absence of air conditioning matters most to residents who plan to stay through the peak of July and August, when average monthly temperatures reach about 26°C, although retrofitting is common in buildings of this age. Finally, the 2000 construction year and the good stated condition mean the buyer acquires an established asset rather than a developer contract, which suits purchasers who prefer to see and inspect the exact finished product before committing.
The apartment belongs to a building completed in 2000, and the specification follows the conventions of that period on the Costa del Sol. Flooring is marble throughout, a standard feature in mid-range and above apartments of that era in the Marbella area, valued for its cool surface in summer and durability under permanent use. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and the master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with direct access to the covered terrace, a layout that supports both permanent living and rental use. The living and dining room contains a working fireplace, which provides supplementary heat in winter alongside the gas central heating system that serves the whole apartment. The kitchen is described as fitted, with the feature list specifying it as partially fitted, so buyers should verify during a viewing exactly which appliances and storage elements are included versus what would need to be added. The 20.5 m² terrace is covered, extending the usable season for outdoor dining, and opens directly from both the living area and the master bedroom. Technically, the property does not include air conditioning, which in a 2000 building usually means a unit-based system can be retrofitted without major structural works, subject to community rules on exterior units. The building has a lift, which matters for accessibility and for moving furniture. The complex itself is gated with communal gardens, a communal pool and a playground, and there is one private parking space included in the sale. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a well-maintained, twenty-five-year-old apartment in a established gated community, and the condition is stated as good.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €435,000. For this amount the buyer acquires approximately 94 m² of built area, a covered terrace of roughly 20.5 m², two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private parking space and the full furniture package. Compared with new-build apartments currently marketed on the Costa del Sol, which typically start between roughly €205,000 and €321,000 in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, this price reflects the established location beside the golf course in the Marbella area rather than a raw construction price. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status.
Guadalmina Alta is a mature, low-rise residential quarter built around the golf course of the same name, and daily life here reflects that setting. The streets are quiet for most of the year, with activity concentrated around the clubhouse areas, a small commercial centre and the local schools. Within 2 km of the apartment, the data lists 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies and 11 banks, which covers most day-to-day needs without needing to drive into Marbella or Estepona. A car remains the practical choice for the beach, which lies about 2.3 km away as the crow flies over largely flat terrain with a 1.7 per cent gradient, and the walk is realistic for residents who enjoy it, though the return journey in summer heat is worth considering. The apartment itself is arranged around its covered, north-west-facing terrace. Mornings are spent largely indoors or in the communal garden areas, while late afternoon and evening light falls on the terrace, making it a natural spot for outdoor dining with the golf course in view. The fireplace in the living room suits the mild Andalusian winter, when average monthly temperatures drop to around 12°C. The communal pool and playground, visible from the building, serve families during the five-month swimming season when sea and pool water stays at or above 20°C. For routine errands, sports facilities such as the Apolo centre lie about 1 km away, and two golf clubs, El Campanario and El Paraíso, are within roughly 2.6 km, so recreational options sit within a short drive rather than at the doorstep.
The immediate surroundings are defined by the golf course and low-density housing, which keeps traffic and noise at residential levels for most of the year. Within 2 km, the dataset counts 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and 2 schools, giving the area a self-sufficient character for daily needs. One primary school is located nearby, and The International School of Estepona lies roughly 2.6 km away, with the British International School about 9.1 km distant. Sports facilities within walking or short driving range include the Apolo sports centre at about 1 km and the Middle Pool and Top Pool facilities at roughly 1.4 km. Public transport in the wider zone comprises 8 lines serving 50 stops, which makes occasional car-free travel possible along the coast, though most residents rely on a private vehicle. The terrain towards the sea is flat, with an average gradient of 1.7 per cent, so cycling to the beach or nearby shops is realistic. For longer journeys, the AP-7 and A-7 coastal roads connect Guadalmina to Marbella, Estepona and the airports.

Guadalmina Alta occupies the coastal corridor between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, one of the most established residential zones on the western Costa del Sol. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, lies about 11 km to the east, while Estepona forms the western anchor of the same corridor. The larger cities of Algeciras (55 km) and Málaga (59 km) delimit the region at either end. Within this corridor, Guadalmina is known for golf-led residential living rather than high-rise tourism, which distinguishes it from the beachfront strips nearer Puerto Banús or Estepona town.
Measured in straight lines, Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro all lie about 2.3 km from the apartment, with the flat terrain making the actual road distance only slightly longer. Marbella is approximately 11 km away and Estepona a similar distance in the other direction along the coast. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at roughly 48 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 50 km as the crow flies, with actual driving distances to both considerably longer; Málaga airport is the larger hub with the widest route network. Golf is the closest recreation of all, since the apartment stands front line to the Guadalmina course, with El Campanario about 1.7 km and El Paraíso about 2.6 km away. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina at Puerto Banús, is roughly 4.9 km distant. Electric-vehicle drivers can use the Supercharger in Estepona at about 5.6 km or the Marbella Supercharger at 7.7 km. Public transport access exists through 8 lines and 50 stops in the zone, but a car remains the practical baseline for daily life.

The climate data for the area shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.1°C. This is a typical Mediterranean pattern: mild winters that make the gas central heating and fireplace sufficient for comfort, and warm summers without the extreme heat of inland Andalusia. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which water temperatures stay at or above 20°C, running roughly from late spring into early autumn. The elevation of 41 m above sea level is modest, and the terrain towards the coast is essentially flat with a 1.7 per cent gradient. Beyond the fairways, natural viewpoints such as the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at about 4.3 km and the Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 4.8 km offer walking destinations in the surrounding countryside, while mountain views are part of the apartment's outlook alongside the golf views.

Three beaches sit about 2.3 km from the apartment as the crow flies: Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro. Playa de San Pedro is the longest of these and carries the facilities associated with an established resort town beach, while Atalaya and Isdabe are quieter stretches popular with local residents. Golf is the dominant recreation at this address: the apartment overlooks the Guadalmina course directly, and El Campanario (1.7 km) and El Paraíso (2.6 km) add further options within minutes by car. For organised sport, the Apolo sports centre lies about 1 km away. The playground and communal pool inside the gated complex cover family leisure on-site. Puerto Banús marina, at roughly 4.9 km, extends the range of leisure activities with boat trips, waterfront dining and people-watching in season. Local public holidays, of which the area records 32 per year, regularly bring processions and fiestas to San Pedro and Estepona, adding a seasonal rhythm to the calendar.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a specific niche: established, golf-side resale stock in the Marbella corridor, set against a new-build supply concentrated further east and west. The comparable new projects in the dataset illustrate the contrast. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, both noticeably cheaper per entry point, but both located in zones with less prestige pricing than the Marbella area. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, from €321,000, sits closer geographically, yet still offers new construction at a lower entry price than this resale apartment's fixed €435,000. The difference reflects what the Guadalmina location carries: an established gated community front line to a golf course, roughly 11 km from Marbella, with mature gardens and the infrastructure of twenty-five years of residential settlement. New-build buyers at those lower price points typically receive smaller units, communal facilities under construction and delivery dates one to two years out, whereas this property can be occupied immediately with furniture included. Buyers weighing the trade-off should also note the area's transaction volume of around 800 housing sales per year, indicating an active and liquid local market, and a provincial median income of €16,450, which contextualises the price level as clearly positioned above the local domestic mainstream and aimed at the international buyer segment. The main things the new-build alternatives offer that this property does not are modern energy performance, full air conditioning and contemporary layouts; the main things this property offers in return are location maturity, immediate availability and inclusion of a parking space and furnishing.
