A 196 m² three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment in Guadalmina Alta, one of Marbella's most established residential areas on the Costa del Sol. The property sits on the first floor of a complex completed in 2010, with a communal swimming pool, maintained gardens, a lift, two terraces of approximately 24 m² and a 10 m² underground parking space. The apartment is currently tenanted and generates a monthly rental income of €1,398.85. The asking price is fixed at €449,000 and the property is sold subject to the existing tenancy agreement.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Alta lies on the western side of Marbella, close to San Pedro de Alcántara and surrounded by golf courses. The nearest beaches, including Playa Atalaya, are 2.3 km away as the crow flies. The A-7, N-340 and AP-7 roads connect the area to Marbella, 11 km away, and to Estepona further west. Fifty public transport stops across eight lines serve the wider area.
The apartment offers 196 m² of living space with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a separate fitted kitchen, marble flooring, heating and fitted wardrobes. Two terraces of roughly 24 m² face the communal gardens. A lift serves the building, and a 10 m² underground parking space in the same building is included. The property is delivered unfurnished.
This is an existing home, completed in 2010 according to the information provided, in good condition and key-ready. The complex includes a communal swimming pool, landscaped communal gardens and communal areas. As a completed resale property, no construction phase or delivery planning applies; the transfer takes place in the property's current physical and legal condition.
The apartment is sold with tenants in place, subject to the existing tenancy agreement and statutory tenants' rights, including any right of first refusal. Interior viewings are currently unavailable, which may prevent an official mortgage valuation and limit conventional mortgage financing. The property is classified as a repossessed investment asset, transferred as a whole under the seller's contractual terms. It is not delivered furnished.
This property fits a buyer whose primary aim is a rental income stream in an established Marbella address rather than immediate personal use. An investor seeking a tenanted asset with documented monthly income of €1,398.85 and an approximate gross yield of 3.74% will find the financial parameters clearly stated. It may also suit a purchaser planning longer-term relocation to the Costa del Sol who is prepared to wait for the tenancy to run its course under Spanish law. Buyers who want a large-format home, 196 m² with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, in a golf-side residential area near San Pedro de Alcántara fall within the profile this apartment serves. Conversely, it does not fit buyers who need to occupy the home quickly, who require a mortgage secured by an official valuation (interior viewings are currently unavailable), or who want a furnished, turnkey holiday home. The absence of interior access means the decision must rest on documentation, floor plans and exterior inspection, which favours financially driven purchasers over emotional buyers. Families considering the location itself should note two schools within two kilometres, including a primary school, and The International School of Estepona 2.6 km away as the crow flies. The flat 1.7% gradient to the beach and the surrounding golf environment make the area comfortable for longer-term residence as well as for letting.
The apartment was completed in 2010 and is reported to be in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout and heating, both of which are meaningful for winter use, when average monthly temperatures drop to around 12°C. The separate kitchen is fully fitted with an oven, ceramic hob and extractor fan; a ceramic hob is a conventional, easily maintained choice rather than an induction unit, which buyers comparing with newer builds should note. The three bedrooms come with fitted wardrobes and the three bathrooms are finished and functional. Two terraces totalling approximately 24 m², an estimate derived from the available floor plan, open from the living area and look over the communal gardens and surrounding residential environment. The building itself provides a lift and a 10 m² underground parking space within the same structure, which protects the vehicle from sun and heat. The property is delivered unfurnished, so the new owner sets the interior standard. As an existing building from 2010, the construction does not incorporate the energy-performance specifications of current new-build regulation; buyers relying on financing should also factor in that the unavailability of interior viewings may prevent an official mortgage valuation. Overall, the finishing level is that of a well-maintained Spanish apartment of its generation: solid materials, generous room dimensions and functioning systems, rather than premium contemporary specification.
The asking price is fixed at €449,000; this is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list. The property is tenanted and generates €1,398.85 per month, or €16,786.20 per year, which equates to an approximate gross rental yield of 3.74% per annum before taxes and expenses. Availability is subject to the existing tenancy agreement and applicable tenants' statutory rights. Interior viewings are currently unavailable, which may affect mortgage valuation and financing options. The purchase transfers the property as a whole, in its current physical, legal, registry, cadastral and planning condition, under the seller's contractual terms.
Daily life in this Guadalmina Alta apartment is shaped by an established residential setting between golf courses and the coast. The building stands in a complex with a communal swimming pool and maintained gardens, where mornings can begin on one of the two terraces overlooking the green communal areas. With 196 m² of interior space, the layout accommodates a generous living and dining room, a separate fitted kitchen with oven, ceramic hob and extractor fan, three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and three bathrooms, a configuration that works for families as well as for shared or rental use. Marble flooring and heating contribute to year-round comfort, which matters given the seasonal rhythm of the Costa del Sol: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The immediate area is quiet and residential, with the A-7, N-340 and AP-7 within practical reach. Within two kilometres there are 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and two schools, so most daily errands can be done locally. A car remains useful; the beach at Playa Atalaya is 2.3 km away as the crow flies, and the gradient to the coast is flat at 1.7%. For buyers approaching this as an income property, the current tenants provide continuity: according to the information provided, they have stable employment and a history of regular rental payments, which means ownership can begin without a vacancy period.
Guadalmina Alta is a settled, low-rise residential area on Marbella's western side, known for its golf courses and proximity to San Pedro de Alcántara.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Guadalmina Alta occupies the western edge of Marbella municipality, between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. Marbella centre is 11 km away in a straight line, Estepona a similar distance westward, and the area functions as part of the continuous residential and golf corridor along the A-7. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, this positions the apartment mid-way between the established glamour of Marbella and Puerto Banús and the calmer, lower-density stretch towards Estepona. Málaga city and its airport lie roughly 50 to 59 km east, while Gibraltar airport is about 48 km to the west, giving the location access to both air gateways.
Distances in this section are straight-line, and road distances may be longer. The nearest beach, Playa Atalaya, is 2.3 km away, with Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro at the same distance. Marbella lies 11 km away and Algeciras 55 km. Two airports serve the region: Gibraltar (GIB) at approximately 48 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at approximately 50 km, giving a choice of flight connections. By car, the A-7, N-340 and AP-7 provide the main routes east towards Marbella and Málaga and west towards Estepona and Algeciras. Public transport in the area consists of eight lines with fifty stops, which supports day-to-day mobility, though a car remains the practical mode for beach trips, golf and airport transfers. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Supercharger in Estepona at 5.6 km or the Marbella Supercharger at 7.7 km. The included 10 m² underground parking space within the building simplifies car ownership on site.

The location sits at 41 m above sea level with an essentially flat approach to the coast, a 1.7% gradient to the beach at Playa Atalaya. The climate is Mediterranean: the average annual temperature is 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, so sea swimming is realistically a late spring to early autumn activity. The two terraces of approximately 24 m² extend the living space outdoors for most of the year, and heating inside covers the cooler winter weeks. Nature options nearby include viewpoints such as Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.3 km and Mirador del Muelle de Honor at 4.7 km, both measured in a straight line. The golf courses surrounding Guadalmana Alta provide green, low-density surroundings that shape the character of the area more than wild nature does; the coastal strip between Marbella and Estepona is defined by a mix of residential estates, golf greens and beach, backed by hills further inland.

The nearest beaches, Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro, all lie 2.3 km away as the crow flies, along the stretch of coast between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. The flat terrain makes these beaches reachable on foot or by bicycle for most residents. Recreation in the immediate area centres on golf: El Campanario Golf Course is 1.7 km away and El Paraíso Golf Club 2.6 km, with its clubhouse at 2.7 km. For other sports, the Apolo sports centre is 1.0 km away, and pool facilities at Middle Pool and Top Pool are 1.4 km distant. The communal swimming pool within the complex itself provides daily swimming without leaving the grounds. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 4.9 km away, offers marina-side leisure, restaurants and people-watching. Viewpoints such as Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.3 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.8 km) add walking destinations in the wider surroundings. The five-month swimming season and the density of golf and sports facilities within a two-to-three kilometre radius define the recreational profile of this location.

Within the wider Málaga province market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build projects typically marketed along the coast. Comparable developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) offer new construction at lower entry prices, but in locations further from Marbella's established western corridor and without existing rental income. At €449,000 for 196 m², this property prices at roughly €2,290 per square metre, which for Guadalmina Alta, a mature golf-side area adjacent to San Pedro de Alcántara and 11 km from Marbella centre, reflects the established-locations premium rather than new-build specification. The housing market context shows around 800 transactions per year in the local area, indicating an active but not overheated resale market. The median provincial income of €16,450 per year underlines the gap between local purchasing power and coastal property prices; demand in this segment comes largely from international buyers and investors, which is consistent with the property's current tenancy and investment classification. Compared with new-build alternatives, buyers here trade contemporary specification and developer guarantees for space, 196 m² is considerably larger than typical new-build apartments at this price point, and for an established community with mature gardens, while accepting the constraints of the existing tenancy and the repossessed-asset purchase conditions.
