A detached villa of 419 m² on a 903 m² plot in Guadalmina Alta, one of the quieter residential zones between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. The property offers six en-suite double bedrooms, a private pool and a south-facing garden, within walking distance of the Guadalmina Commercial Centre. The beach at Playa Atalaya lies 2.3 km away as the crow flies, and Puerto Banús marina approximately 4.9 km. The asking price is fixed at €2,795,000. The villa dates from 1970 and is available key-ready, in good condition.
Guadalmina Alta belongs to the established villa belt west of Marbella, a market segment quite distinct from the new-build apartment developments elsewhere on the coast. Comparable projects listed in the wider region, 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, are apartment-style new builds at a fraction of this villa's price. Those products serve a different buyer: smaller units, communal pools, off-plan purchase risk in exchange for a lower entry price. This property competes instead in the resale villa market of San Pedro, Guadalmina, El Paraíso and Atalaya, where plot size, bedroom count and proximity to golf determine value. A 903 m² plot with 419 m² built and six en-suite bedrooms places it in the upper segment of that local market. The area's roughly 800 annual housing transactions indicate steady liquidity for the zone, supported by year-round international demand rather than seasonal tourism alone. Compared with central Marbella, 11 km away, Guadalmina Alta trades density and walkability to the old town for quieter streets, larger plots and direct golf access. Compared with Estepona, it sits closer to Puerto Banús and the Marbella services cluster, at a higher price level per square metre. Buyers weighing this villa against new-build alternatives should account for the 1970 construction year: modern fittings and solar panels are present, but the underlying structure predates current building regulations, which affects both renovation scope and insurance considerations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Alta is a low-density residential area on the western side of Marbella municipality, near the Guadalmina golf course. The setting is flat, at roughly 41 metres above sea level, with an average gradient of 1.7% towards the coast. Shops, schools and medical services are within a short walk or drive, while Marbella centre lies 11 km away in a straight line.
The villa is arranged for permanent or extended family occupation: six en-suite bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, a games room and generous storage. The open-plan living area connects through floor-to-ceiling windows to the garden and pool. Outdoor facilities include a covered terrace with kitchen and barbecue, a sun deck and private parking for several vehicles.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970 and is offered key-ready in good condition, with modern systems including air conditioning and solar panels visible in imagery. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase process. Any renovation history or technical condition should be verified through a survey.
The property does not offer sea views, a communal facility programme or a spa. There is no lift, which is relevant given the two-floor layout with four bedrooms at garden level. The residence is not a gated urbanisation with 24-hour security. Buyers seeking brand-new construction or contemporary architectural planning should note the 1970 origin of the building.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A large or multi-generational family will find that six en-suite bedrooms remove the most common point of friction in shared living: six people can each have a bathroom and a private room. Households that regularly receive guests can use the lower floor as a self-contained guest zone, with the multi-purpose room serving as a gym, home cinema or study. Buyers relocating permanently to the coast benefit from the walkable commercial centre, two schools within 2 km, including the private San José de Guadalmina school 15 minutes away on foot, and twelve pharmacies in the vicinity. Golf players value the location next to the Guadalmina course, with El Campanario 1.7 km away and El Paraíso 2.6 km away in a straight line. The property fits less well for buyers who want new construction, a sea-front position or a gated community with hotel-style services. The 1970 construction year means the building carries the character and technical profile of that era, updated with air conditioning and solar panels. Buyers planning intensive renovation should factor that into their budget. For a second-home buyer, the two-zone layout works well: the main floor functions independently, which can reduce running costs during periods of absence, though the whole house still requires year-round maintenance and security.
The villa combines a contemporary interior layout with traditional Mediterranean elements, most visibly the ceramic roof tiles. The main floor is organised around an open-plan living and kitchen area with floor-to-ceiling windows that create a direct connection to the garden. The kitchen has sleek cabinetry, generous worktops and a central island; the imagery shows a modern, handle-light aesthetic in white tones. The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with both a shower and a freestanding bathtub, a configuration that adds comfort without relying on space-saving compromises. All five remaining bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with showers, and built-in wardrobes run along the hallway on the main floor, providing practical storage. The lower level adds a games room with pool table and a multi-purpose room with fitted wardrobes, giving flexible usable area at garden level. Climate control is provided by air conditioning throughout, and aerial imagery shows solar panels on the roof, which reduce electricity consumption in a region with strong year-round irradiation. The condition is stated as good, but as a 1970 building the underlying construction, insulation standards, window frames, plumbing and electrical installation, should be assessed through an independent technical survey before purchase. No energy performance certificate details or structural reports are included in the available data.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €2,795,000. The price reflects the position within Guadalmina Alta, the plot size of 903 m², the built area of 419 m² and the six-bedroom configuration. As an existing home rather than a new-build development, there is no price list or unit variation; the figure applies to the property as offered, key-ready. Additional purchase costs in Andalusia, transfer tax, notary and registry fees, should be budgeted separately. The local market registers around 800 housing transactions per year in the wider area, indicating an active but established resale market.
Daily life at this address follows the rhythm of an established, green residential neighbourhood. Guadalmina Alta is known for its calm streets and mature planting, with the Guadalmina golf course as the physical anchor of the district. The villa sits within walking distance of the Guadalmina Commercial Centre, where supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, shops and a pharmacy cover most routine needs. The mornings can begin on the south-facing garden level, where the covered terrace with outdoor kitchen and barbecue extends the living space outdoors for most of the year. The main floor is elevated above the garden and receives plentiful daylight through floor-to-ceiling glazing, with the open-plan kitchen and living area at its centre. The layout divides the house into two zones: the main floor holds the master suite with walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom with both shower and freestanding bathtub, a second en-suite bedroom and a guest toilet; the lower floor contains four further en-suite bedrooms, a games room, a flexible multi-purpose room and the utility area. This structure suits households that combine permanent residents with regular guests, or families who want separate space for work, study or recreation. Six bathrooms mean morning routines rarely conflict. The immediate area is quiet outside the summer months, and the flat terrain makes walking and cycling to local amenities realistic. A car remains the practical choice for the beach, Puerto Banús and Marbella centre, all of which are short drives.
Guadalmina Alta sits between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, in the western corridor of the Costa del Sol. The neighbourhood functions as a residential base rather than a resort: streets are quiet, greenery is mature, and daily services are close at hand. Within 2 km, the data records 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and 2 schools, an unusually complete amenity set for a low-density villa district. The Guadalmina Commercial Centre covers groceries and everyday shopping on foot. For leisure, the Apolo sports centre lies 1.0 km away, and several golf clubs are within a short drive. Beach access is at Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe or Playa de San Pedro, each 2.3 km in a straight line, a few minutes by car over flat terrain. Public transport is present in the wider area with 8 lines and 50 stops, though services are oriented towards the coastal road rather than the villa streets themselves; a car remains the practical mode of transport. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at 4.9 km, adds marina facilities, dining and nightlife within a seven-minute drive.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, Guadalmina Alta occupies a middle position between the glamour of Puerto Banús, under five kilometres away, and the more spacious, lower-density developments towards Estepona. Marbella, with almost 148,000 inhabitants, lies 11 km to the east and supplies the full urban programme: hospitals, culture, shopping and the old town. Estepona and its international school are a short distance west. The location is therefore suburban in character: residential calm with quick access to both the Marbella and Estepona spheres, roughly midway along the coast between Málaga and Gibraltar airports.
The beaches of Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro all lie 2.3 km away as the crow flies, reachable by car in roughly seven minutes. Marbella centre is 11 km straight-line from the property; Málaga city and its airport sit about 50 km away, with Gibraltar Airport an alternative at roughly 48 km, both distances measured directly, so actual driving times are longer. Golf is the most accessible leisure category: Guadalmina golf adjoins the neighbourhood, El Campanario lies 1.7 km away and El Paraíso 2.6 km. For education, The International School of Estepona is 2.6 km away and the British International School 9.1 km, alongside the private San José de Guadalmina school within walking distance. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Supercharger in Estepona, 5.6 km away, or the Marbella Supercharger at 7.7 km. The flat gradient of 1.7% towards the coast means no steep climbs between the house and the sea.

The area records an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This is a classic Costa del Sol profile: warm, dry summers and mild winters, meaning outdoor living on the covered terrace and around the pool is practical from spring through late autumn. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months. The plot sits at 41 metres above sea level on flat terrain, so the garden and pool area are usable without stairs or slope management. There are no dominant winds or altitude effects to account for at this elevation. The nearest natural viewpoints, such as the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.3 km, sit slightly inland towards the hills, giving walking and hiking options beyond the coastal strip.

The nearest beach, Playa Atalaya, lies 2.3 km away in a straight line, with Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro at the same distance, giving a choice of three sandy stretches within a short drive. The beaches along this stretch of coast are family-oriented and less densely built than the central Marbella seafront. Golf is the defining recreation of the district: the Guadalmina course adjoins the neighbourhood, El Campanario Golf Course is 1.7 km away and El Paraíso Golf Club 2.6 km, with its clubhouse slightly further at 2.7 km. For general sport, the Apolo sports centre is 1.0 km away. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 4.9 km away, provides marina services, water sports and a wide restaurant offer. The villa's own facilities, private pool, sun deck, outdoor kitchen and games room with pool table, cover much of the daily recreation without leaving the plot.
