A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the established Campos de Guadalmina urbanisation in Guadalmina Alta, west of San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella. The property measures 95 m² of living space and was completed in 2001. It is currently let to a tenant and generates rental income. The price is a fixed asking price of €445,000. The apartment forms part of a gated complex with seven swimming pools, communal gardens, play areas and 24-hour security, and includes a garage space and storage room.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Alta lies on the inland side of the coastal road, within walking distance of San Pedro de Alcántara. The nearest beach, Playa Atalaya, sits approximately 2.3 km away as the crow flies. Golf courses including El Campanario and El Paraíso are within 1.7 to 2.6 km. Marbella centre is roughly 11 km away in a straight line.
The apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite, with a hall, equipped kitchen, living room and a covered terrace facing east. A lift serves the building, and fitted wardrobes are present. Central heating is installed. A garage space and storage room are included in the sale, which suits year-round use as well as periodic stays.
This concerns an existing home, not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2001 and the construction status is key-ready. The façade and common interior areas of the urbanisation have recently been painted and refurbished. The apartment is in good condition and can be occupied once the current tenancy allows.
The property is currently tenanted, so occupancy is subject to the running rental agreement. Views are limited to garden, courtyard and street aspects rather than open sea views. The plot has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. At 95 m² with two bedrooms, the home is relatively compact for families needing more space.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A first is the investor seeking an already-performing asset: the apartment is let and producing rental income, so there is no void period or furnishing project at the start of ownership. A second is the buyer planning future own use, for example, a couple intending to relocate to the Costa del Sol in a few years who want to hold a property in the meantime, using the tenant's income to cover running costs. A third is the seasonal resident who wants a lock-and-leave base in a secure urbanisation: the gated complex, 24-hour security and communal pools reduce maintenance responsibility, while the garage and storage room make arrivals and departures simpler. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with one en-suite works for small families, couples or two couples sharing a holiday home. It is less suitable for buyers who want a large villa, a private pool, sea views or more than two bedrooms. Buyers who need vacant possession immediately will also need to review the tenancy terms before committing.
The building dates from 2001, which places it in the era of solid mid-range Costa del Sol construction: concrete structure, marble flooring in the living areas and fully fitted bathrooms with bathtubs, as visible in the property documentation. The apartment is described as being in excellent condition, with an equipped kitchen and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. Central heating is installed, a feature that distinguishes the home from many coastal apartments that rely on electric heaters or air conditioning alone; it makes winter stays considerably more comfortable. There is a lift in the building, which matters for accessibility and for moving furniture. The covered terrace extends the usable living space across most of the year and is sheltered from direct afternoon sun due to the east orientation. At urbanisation level, the façade and common interior areas have recently been painted and refurbished, indicating that community finances are being actively managed. Buyers should nonetheless conduct the usual technical checks for a property of this age: plumbing, electrical installation, window frames and the condition of the central heating boiler. No energy performance details are provided, so an assessment during the purchase process is advisable.
The asking price is fixed at €445,000 for the apartment as a whole, including the garage space and storage room. Since this is an existing home rather than a new-build development, there is no price list or range of unit types; the price applies to this specific two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 95 m². On a price-per-square-metre basis the property sits in the mid-range for established resale stock in the Guadalmina and San Pedro area. The apartment is available for purchase now, subject to the existing tenancy, and delivery of vacant possession depends on the terms of the current rental agreement. Buyers should verify community fees, IBI and any rental contract details during due diligence.
Daily life in Campos de Guadalmina follows the rhythm of a mature residential neighbourhood rather than a resort. The urbanisation is enclosed, with controlled access and 24-hour security, which means the communal areas, seven swimming pools, gardens and children's play zones, are used primarily by residents. The apartment itself opens east through a covered terrace, so morning light reaches the living areas while the afternoon heat stays outside; residents typically take breakfast on the terrace during the warmer months. Inside, the layout is straightforward: hall, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with marble flooring and fitted wardrobes throughout. Because the home is currently let, the practical reality for a buyer is twofold: either continue as an investor and collect the existing rental income, or plan for own use once the tenancy ends. Everyday shopping and services are close at hand, the immediate area includes restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks within about two kilometres, and San Pedro de Alcántara is a short walk away. A car is convenient for the beach and for trips to Marbella or Estepona, but the density of amenities and public transport stops in the area means the location is not car-dependent for daily needs. The setting is quiet, bordered by golf courses, and the flat terrain towards the coast makes walking and cycling realistic options.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical density. Within roughly two kilometres there are 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies and 11 banks, which covers daily needs without a car. Two schools are nearby, including a primary school, and The International School of Estepona lies about 2.6 km away as the crow flies, with the British International School around 9.1 km further along the coast. San Pedro de Alcántara is described as within walking distance and provides the fuller range of town services. Public transport in the area consists of 8 lines with 50 stops, so bus connections along the coast are workable, though most residents use a car for beach days and longer trips. The nearest beaches, Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro, all sit about 2.3 km away in a straight line, reachable in a few minutes by car or by bicycle on the flat terrain. For shopping and leisure, Puerto Deportivo José Banús is roughly 4.9 km away, offering marina-side dining and boutiques. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Supercharger in Estepona, about 5.6 km away, or the Marbella Supercharger at 7.7 km.
The map shows the apartment's position in Guadalmina Alta, immediately west of San Pedro de Alcántara and inland of the Atalaya beach strip. Note the cluster of golf courses to the north and west, the beaches about 2.3 km south, and Puerto Banús under five kilometres to the east, a compact arrangement of daily amenities and leisure on the western Costa del Sol.

Guadalmina Alta occupies a position between Marbella (approximately 11 km in a straight line) and Estepona, on the inland side of the coastal road around San Pedro de Alcántara. This places the property in one of the most established residential zones of the western Costa del Sol, close to the golf valleys of Guadalmina, El Paraíso and Atalaya. Marbella, with around 148,000 inhabitants, provides the regional urban offer, while Málaga city lies about 59 km to the east. The location is effectively midway between the two airports of Gibraltar and Málaga.
Accessibility is one of the strong points of this location. The A-7 coastal motorway runs nearby, connecting San Pedro, Marbella and Estepona; Marbella centre is approximately 11 km away in a straight line, and Estepona lies in the other direction. Two international airports serve the area: Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 50 km and Gibraltar at around 48 km, both straight-line distances, in practice the drive to either takes under an hour depending on traffic. Golfers are particularly well served: El Campanario Golf Course is about 1.7 km away and El Paraíso Golf Club about 2.6 km, with the clubhouse slightly further. Sports facilities include the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and pool facilities at around 1.4 km. The beach at Playa Atalaya is 2.3 km away as the crow flies, with an average gradient of only 1.7 percent, meaning the route is essentially flat and manageable on foot or by bicycle for reasonably mobile residents.

The climate data indicates a Mediterranean pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.1°C. This supports outdoor use of the terrace and communal pools from spring through autumn. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of at least 20°C, lasts about five months, roughly June to October, which is relevant for buyers focused on beach use. The elevation of 41 metres above sea level means no significant climbs between the apartment and the coast, and the flat approach to the beach suits walking and cycling. The east-facing orientation of the terrace aligns well with this climate: mornings outdoors are pleasant, while the covered terrace provides shade and shelter from the midday and afternoon sun. Nature excursions are available nearby, including the viewpoints of Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.3 km and several others within five kilometres.

Three beaches lie within about 2.3 km of the apartment: Playa Atalaya, Playa Isabe and Playa de San Pedro. These are broad, sandy stretches typical of the San Pedro, Estepona coast, with chiringuitos and beach restaurants along the paseo. The five-month swimming season means water temperatures stay comfortable from early summer into autumn. Recreation beyond the beach is dominated by golf: El Campanario Golf Course (1.7 km) and El Paraíso Golf Club (2.6 km) are the closest of several courses in the Guadalmina, Estepona belt, making the location practical for regular players. For organised sport, the Apolo sports centre is 1.0 km away and additional pool facilities around 1.4 km. Waterfront leisure is concentrated at Puerto Deportivo José Banús, roughly 4.9 km away, where boat trips, marina-side restaurants and boutiques are found. Scenic viewpoints within five kilometres offer walking routes with coastal and mountain vistas for quieter days out.

Compared with new-build alternatives along the Costa del Sol, this resale apartment in Guadalmina Alta occupies a different market segment. Projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar advertise from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all lower entry points, but all starting prices for new construction further from the consolidated Marbella, San Pedro core. The fixed asking price of €445,000 for this property buys an established location: walking distance to San Pedro, golf courses on the doorstep, beaches within 2.3 km and the full infrastructure of a mature neighbourhood with schools, pharmacies and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. New-build projects at similar prices further east or west often offer modern specifications, better insulation, contemporary layouts, private terraces, but typically in areas where amenities, greenery and community life are still developing. Another distinction is income: this apartment is already let, so an investor starts collecting rent from day one, whereas new-build purchases usually involve staged payments and a delivery period before any rental return begins. Buyers weighing the two options are effectively trading modern construction and warranty coverage against location maturity and immediate yield. Within the Guadalmina area itself, resale stock of this type has been transacting steadily, the wider zone records around 800 housing transactions per year, which indicates a liquid market for later resale.
