Villa Alhambra is a detached, key-ready villa situated in the established beachside residential area of Guadalmina Baja, on the western side of Marbella. The property stands on a plot of 1,132 m² with 660 m² of built area, comprising five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, including a guest bedroom on the ground floor. The villa was completed in 2025 and carries a fixed asking price of €4,320,000. The location lies roughly 2.0 km from Playa de San Pedro as the crow flies, in a flat, low-rise neighbourhood with 24-hour security directly opposite the property.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Baja is a consolidated residential enclave between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, about 11 km from central Marbella in a straight line. The area combines proximity to the coast with immediate access to golf courses, restaurants and schools. The terrain is flat, with an average gradient of 1.5% towards the beach, and sits at approximately 29 m above sea level.
The villa is arranged for full-time occupation as well as seasonal use: five en-suite bedrooms, a ground-floor guest room, an open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, and a private garden with swimming pool. Air conditioning and private parking are present. Floor-to-ceiling glazing connects the interior directly with the outdoor areas, which face south.
The villa is completed and key-ready, with delivery indicated as 2025. As a finished, existing property, there is no construction phase or waiting period: the buyer acquires a renovated residence that can be occupied immediately after transfer. Completion dates given are indicative and subject to the formal handover process.
The property is a single detached villa at a fixed asking price of €4,320,000; there is no price range, no unit selection and no off-plan configuration. The data does not mention sea views, underfloor heating, a basement, staff accommodation or home automation. Buyers seeking a new-build project with phased payments or customisation options will not find that format here.
The villa fits a buyer with a budget above four million euros who wants an immediately occupiable detached home in west Marbella rather than an off-plan commitment. Recognisable situations include: a family relocating permanently that needs five en-suite bedrooms and international schools within a short drive; a household that wants a ground-floor guest room for visiting parents or regular guests; a second-home buyer seeking a secure, established neighbourhood with 24-hour security opposite the entrance rather than a resort-style urbanisation; and a buyer who plays golf regularly, given three courses within about 3 km. The property also suits those who prioritise walkable daily amenities, restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and a primary school within 2 km, over seclusion. Conversely, the villa is less suitable for buyers seeking a lower entry price, a phased payment structure, sea views from the plot, or a hillside panorama; this is a flat, beachside residential setting. Households dependent on public transport should note that the bus network, while present with eight lines, is modest by urban standards, and a car is the practical baseline. Finally, buyers wanting to shape the design themselves will find limited scope: the villa is finished, and personalisation would be limited to refurbishment rather than configuration.
The villa is documented as a contemporary, fully renovated residence with 660 m² of built area distributed over two levels. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the photographic record shows a modern kitchen with an island opening onto a dining area, open-plan living rooms with large windows and upholstered furnishings, and a master bedroom with sliding glass doors to the exterior. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive sliding doors are specified throughout the principal rooms, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor layout. Climate control is provided by air conditioning; the source data does not mention underfloor heating, a heat pump or solar thermal installation, so buyers with specific winter-comfort requirements should verify the heating provision during a viewing. Each of the five bedrooms has its own bathroom, which reduces morning congestion for a full household and supports guest use. Externally, the property includes a private swimming pool set within a landscaped garden on the 1,132 m² plot, plus private parking; the data does not specify whether this is an enclosed garage, a carport or open parking, a point worth confirming. Security is addressed through 24-hour security directly opposite the property, a feature of the neighbourhood rather than an alarm system within the house. The south-facing orientation is the main passive performance factor: principal rooms and pool terrace receive sun throughout the day, which matters both for daily use of the outdoor areas and for heating demand in the shoulder seasons. Overall specification level is consistent with the upper segment of the local resale market, and a technical survey remains advisable for any purchase at this price point.
Villa Alhambra is offered as an existing, completed home with a fixed asking price of €4,320,000, not a from-price within a project price list. The property comprises 660 m² of built area on a 1,132 m² plot, which places the asking price at roughly €6,545 per m² of built surface. The villa is key-ready and was completed in 2025, so no construction milestones or phased payments apply. For regional context, new-build apartments on the eastern Costa del Sol, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, operate in an entirely different segment. Availability is limited to this single property.
Daily life at Villa Alhambra is shaped by the rhythm of a flat, established beachside neighbourhood. Mornings can begin on the south-facing terrace or by the pool, with the living areas oriented towards the garden rather than the street. Because the villa sits in a low-rise residential zone with security presence directly opposite, the setting remains quiet outside the peak summer weeks, when the wider Marbella coast draws seasonal visitors. Practically, the household runs on short trips: two primary schools, twelve pharmacies, eleven banks, fifteen cafés and around thirty-five restaurants sit within a 2 km radius, so everyday errands do not require long drives. The beach at Playa de San Pedro lies 2.0 km away as the crow flies, flat terrain throughout, which makes cycling and walking realistic options for coastal access. Sport is close at hand: the Apolo sports centre is 0.6 km away and three golf courses, El Campanario, El Paraíso and El Higueral, lie within roughly 3 km. For households with children, international schooling is a defining feature of this part of the coast: The International School of Estepona is 2.8 km away, with Creators International School and the British International School further along the coast road. Evenings tend to stay local, a restaurant within the neighbourhood or a drive to Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 4.6 km away, for marina-side dining. A car remains the practical mode of transport; eight public transport lines with fifty stops provide a basic service layer rather than full car-free living.
Guadalmina Baja sits on the coastal strip between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, roughly 11 km from Marbella centre and about 59 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The immediate surroundings are residential and low-rise, with the Río Guadaiza green corridor and several golf courses breaking up the built fabric. Amenities are dense for a suburban setting: within 2 km there are 35 restaurants, 15 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and 2 schools, including a primary school. Sports facilities cluster nearby, the Apolo sports centre at 0.6 km and padel clubs in the neighbourhood, per the seller's description. Beach access is straightforward: Playa de San Pedro at 2.0 km, with Playa Atalaya and Playa Isdabe both at 2.4 km, all reachable over flat terrain (average gradient 1.5%). For longer outings, the viewpoints at Mirador del Muelle de Honor (4.4 km) and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.5 km) offer coastal walks, while Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 4.6 km provides marina facilities and dining. Public transport covers the area with 8 lines and 50 stops, adequate for occasional trips but not a substitute for a car. Electric-vehicle owners will find Tesla Superchargers at Estepona (5.9 km) and Marbella (7.4 km). The area records 711 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market.

Within the Costa del Sol hierarchy, Guadalmina Baja belongs to the premium western Marbella belt, the strip between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona known for golf, international schools and low-density villa neighbourhoods. Marbella (11 km, approximately 148,000 inhabitants) supplies urban services and cultural life; Estepona lies to the west; and the larger regional anchors are Málaga (59 km, 579,000 inhabitants) and Algeciras (55 km). The position between two airports, Gibraltar at 48 km and Málaga at 50 km, is a distinguishing logistical advantage on this stretch of coast.
In straight-line terms, the villa lies 2.0 km from Playa de San Pedro, 4.6 km from Puerto Deportivo José Banús and roughly 3 km from the nearest golf courses (El Campanario at 1.9 km, El Paraíso and El Higueral at 2.9 km). Marbella is 11 km away and Estepona lies a short distance to the west. Air access is a genuine strength of this western position: Gibraltar Airport is approximately 48 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol roughly 50 km, giving a choice of two airports within an hour's drive; Alicante-Elche, at 441 km, is not practical. Road connections run along the A-7 coast motorway and the AP-7 toll road, both serving Guadalmina Baja directly. Actual travel times by road are longer than straight-line figures. Within 2 km of the property, daily needs are covered: supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants are all in range, and The International School of Estepona sits 2.8 km away. A car remains the primary means of transport; the eight bus lines and fifty stops in the area provide a supplement for school runs and coastal trips rather than full independence.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal profile: 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. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October, which sets the realistic window for daily pool and sea use. The villa stands at 29 m above sea level on essentially flat terrain; the gradient towards the beach is 1.5%, so there are no stairs, slopes or hillside roads between the house and the coast. This flatness has practical consequences: walking and cycling to the beach are feasible, and the property itself requires no level changes between the street, garden and entrance. The microclimate near the shore is mild in winter compared with inland Andalusia, though the source data does not include rainfall or sunshine-hour figures for this specific spot. Outdoor living around the pool and terrace is usable for most of the year, with the south-facing orientation maximising sun exposure in the shorter days of winter.

The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, lies 2.0 km away in a straight line, flanked by Playa Atalaya and Playa Isdabe at 2.4 km, three coastal options within a short drive or cycle. The source data does not specify Blue Flag status for these beaches, so that should be verified seasonally. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of the location: El Campanario Golf Course at 1.9 km, El Paraíso Golf Club and El Higueral Golf both at 2.9 km give regular players three courses within five minutes' drive, with the wider Marbella-Estepona golf corridor, including Guadalmina's own courses, extending the options. For racket sports, the Apolo sports centre sits 0.6 km away and the seller notes a popular padel club within walking distance. Coastal walking routes are available at the viewpoints of Mirador del Muelle de Honor (4.4 km), Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.5 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (5.0 km). Water-based recreation centres on Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 4.6 km away, where marina services, boat charters and waterfront dining are concentrated. The mix is distinctly leisure-oriented: beach, golf, padel and marina, with mountain hiking accessible within an hour's drive inland.

The comparable projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), illustrate how far Villa Alhambra sits from the volume new-build market. Those are apartment developments in the mid-market segment on the eastern and central Costa del Sol, where entry prices reflect smaller units, communal facilities and off-plan purchase structures. Villa Alhambra, by contrast, is a single finished detached villa at a fixed €4,320,000 asking price in one of west Marbella's consolidated beachside enclaves. Location quality drives most of the difference. Guadalmina Baja combines three attributes that are scarce together on this coast: flat, walkable terrain within 2 km of the beach; a low-density villa fabric with 24-hour security; and immediate proximity to the golf-and-international-schools corridor that defines the San Pedro, Estepona belt. Resale dynamics here differ from the new-build eastern markets as well, the local area records 711 housing transactions per year, a steady turnover for a villa district, which supports liquidity relative to more remote or higher-density zones. Buyers comparing options should treat the €269,950-to-€321,000 projects as a different product category entirely: apartment living with shared pools, developer payment plans and communal fees, versus a private 1,132 m² plot with own pool and no community dependence. The realistic competitive set for this villa lies within Guadalmina Baja, Los Flamingos and the New Golden Mile villa stock, where finished contemporary villas of comparable scale trade in the same multi-million bracket. Within that set, the flat coastal position and dual-airport access (Gibraltar 48 km, Málaga 50 km) are the location's distinguishing practical strengths.
