This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment sits on a raised ground floor within the gated La Reserva de Marbella complex above Cabopino, between Marbella and Calahonda. It offers 121 m² of living space plus a private garden and terrace, delivered fully furnished and key-ready, with an asking price of €345,000. The complex includes 24-hour security, several communal pools open year-round, tropical gardens and sports courts. Beaches at Cabopino and Calahonda lie roughly 2.1 km away as the crow flies, with Cabopino golf course within about one kilometre.
At a fixed asking price of €345,000, this resale apartment sits above the entry price points of the new-build projects commonly compared along the coast. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those figures, however, are starting prices for new construction, typically for smaller or lower-positioned units, whereas this price applies to a specific key-ready home of 121 m² delivered furnished, with a garage space and storage room included. The comparison therefore works in both directions. A buyer prioritising new-build warranties, modern energy performance and a choice of units may find better value in those developments, particularly inland or in less central locations such as Torre del Mar on the eastern Costa del Sol. A buyer prioritising immediate usability, an established gated community with mature gardens and year-round pools, and the Marbella address near Cabopino's golf courses and beaches is comparing a different product altogether. Resale properties in this corridor between Marbella and Calahonda generally trade on location maturity rather than construction age, and this unit's 1970 origin is offset in part by the recent bathroom renovation and delivered condition. The active tourist licence is a further differentiator against off-plan purchases, where rental income starts only after completion. Within its own segment of resale apartments on the Costa del Sol, the combination of private garden, terrace and garage at this price reflects the eastern Marbella market position rather than premium front-line zones such as Puerto Banus.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in a coastal, urbanised setting with daily amenities within walking distance: a supermarket about 1.1 km away and some eighteen restaurants within a two-kilometre radius. Three beaches sit between 2.1 and 2.6 km away in a direct line, and Cabopino marina is roughly 2.1 km from the complex. Malaga airport is approximately 29 km away as the crow flies.
The home is arranged for everyday living: an open-plan living-dining room with direct terrace access, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a work area in the second bedroom. Outdoor space functions as an extension of the interior, with a barbecue, fire pit and dining area. A private garage space and storage room are included.
This is an existing, resale apartment rather than a new-build development, recorded as completed in 1970 with the principal bathroom recently renovated. It is key-ready and delivered fully furnished and equipped. Any completion dates or renovation information provided are indicative and should be verified during the purchase process.
The property offers two bedrooms and a south-east rather than full south orientation. The pool is communal, not private, and the nearest pharmacy is around 3.1 km away. The gradient from the complex to the beach is moderate at 4.5 per cent, so the walk back involves an incline. A car is convenient for reaching wider amenities, though not essential for everything.
This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a second home on the Costa del Sol that can be used immediately will find it delivered furnished and equipped, with no renovation work required before occupancy. The two-bedroom layout with a dedicated work area and fast fibre internet also fits part-year residents or remote workers who need a functional base for extended stays rather than a short-stay holiday flat. For investors, the active tourist licence and the key-ready condition mean the property could be placed on the rental market without a fit-out period, subject to the usual community rules and regional regulations. The gated setting, on-site security and communal pools are features that typically appeal to family tenants and holiday visitors alike. It is equally relevant to note who it does not fit. Households needing three or more bedrooms will find the layout limiting, and buyers wanting a private pool or direct sea views should consider other options. The raised ground-floor position with private garden suits those who value direct outdoor access and privacy over elevated panoramas, and the moderate gradient to the beach is worth weighing for anyone who intends to walk to the coast daily.
The apartment is recorded in good condition, with the principal en-suite bathroom recently renovated and the property delivered fully furnished and equipped. The kitchen comes with a complete appliance set: oven, hob, fridge, microwave and dishwasher, so the home is operational from the first day of ownership. Built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms provide storage within the unit, supplemented by the separate storage room by the garage. Climate comfort is addressed through air conditioning with both hot and cold functions plus central heating, an arrangement that covers the cooler winter months on the coast, when average temperatures drop to around 12°C. An electric fireplace adds supplementary warmth in the principal living space. Connectivity is well resolved: 300 Mbps symmetric fibre optic supports streaming, video calls and remote work without compromise. The outdoor areas reflect deliberate use rather than leftover space: the terrace carries a chill-out area, barbecue, fire pit and dining zone, while the private garden is oriented towards mountain views. Within the community, the shared facilities, including year-round pools, a children's pool, jacuzzi, sports courts and maintained tropical gardens, indicate an actively managed complex with 24-hour security. As with any 1970-origin building, the underlying structure and installation history should be reviewed through the standard technical survey during the purchase process.
The asking price is a fixed €345,000 for the apartment as offered, including furniture, a private garage space and a storage room. This is a resale property, so there is no price list or range of unit types as with a new development; the price applies to this specific home in its current condition. The property carries an active tourist licence, which is a factual characteristic relevant to buyers considering rental use alongside personal occupancy. As with any resale purchase, the final terms, included items and completion timeline are matters for negotiation and verification during the transaction.
Daily life here revolves around the combination of gated-community facilities and the outdoor space attached to the apartment itself. Mornings begin with south-east light in the living area and on the terrace, which by design is used as an outdoor room: a chill-out corner, a barbecue, a fire pit and a dining table extend the usable living area well beyond the 121 m² interior. The private garden opens towards mountain views, which for an apartment is an uncommon configuration and gives the ground-floor position a sense of separation from the communal grounds. Inside, the layout is straightforward: an open-plan living-dining room, an equipped kitchen with oven, hob, fridge, microwave and dishwasher, an en-suite principal bedroom, and a second bedroom with an integrated workspace. Two full bathrooms serve the home. Practical infrastructure is in place for year-round or remote living, including air conditioning with hot and cold function, central heating, an electric fireplace and 300 Mbps symmetric fibre optic internet. The wider complex supports a residential rhythm: 24-hour security, tropical gardens, several communal pools open through the year including a children's pool, a jacuzzi, sports courts and an on-site bar-restaurant some 200 metres away. Pets are permitted. The surrounding neighbourhood is urbanised with amenities on foot, and the beaches, dunes and marina of Cabopino are a short drive away, as described below in the accessibility sections.
The immediate surroundings are urbanised and walkable for daily needs. A supermarket lies about 1.1 km away in a direct line, and within two kilometres there are roughly eighteen restaurants and four cafes, along with the on-site bar-restaurant 200 metres from the door. A hospital is approximately 7.2 km away and the nearest pharmacy about 3.1 km, both practical reference points for permanent residents. Recreation is concentrated within a short radius. Cabopino golf course is roughly one kilometre away, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at about 2.2 km and El Soto Golf at 2.5 km. Sports centres including Finca Naundrup, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sit between 2.0 and 2.2 km from the complex. The English International College, an international school, is approximately 4.5 km away, a relevant factor for families considering year-round residence. Public transport is available with four lines and fifty stops in the area, so a car is convenient but not essential for everything. Electric-vehicle charging is found about 2.8 km away. Road access runs via the N-340, A-7 and AP-7, connecting the area along the whole coast.
The map shows the apartment's position in Reserva de Marbella, inland of the Cabopino coast. Note the cluster of golf courses within about 2.5 km and the beaches at roughly 2.1 km in a direct line, with road distances somewhat longer. Malaga airport appears approximately 29 km to the north-east.

Reserva de Marbella occupies the coastal corridor between Marbella and Calahonda, close to the eastern entrance of Marbella municipality. This positions the property about ten minutes by car from Marbella old town and around twenty minutes from Puerto Banus in one direction and Fuengirola in the other. Along the Costa del Sol as a whole, it sits nearer the central stretch of coastline, roughly midway between Malaga city and Estepona, with Malaga airport about 25 minutes away by car. The neighbourhood combines residential calm with golf-course surroundings and easy access to the coastal road network.
The nearest beaches, Playa de Cabopino and Playa de Calahonda, are both about 2.1 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Artola at 2.6 km; actual road distances are longer, and by car the coast at Cabopino, its dunes and marina are around five minutes away. The gradient from the complex to the sea is a moderate 4.5 per cent, meaning the return walk climbs steadily. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 29 km away in a direct line, roughly a 25-minute drive, while Gibraltar airport is about 67 km away by the same measure. Marbella old town is about ten minutes by car, with Puerto Banus and Fuengirola around twenty minutes. A supermarket lies about 1.1 km away, and a wider set of services including a shopping centre, gym and international schools sits within a fifteen-minute drive. Direct access to the N-340, A-7 and AP-7 places the whole Costa del Sol within comfortable reach.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 17.9°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, although the complex's year-round communal pools extend bathing well beyond that window. The site sits at roughly 100 metres above sea level, which explains the mountain views from the garden and the moderate 4.5 per cent gradient down to the coast. This elevation keeps the apartment above the immediate coastal strip while remaining within a short drive of it. Outdoor living on the terrace is supported by the south-east orientation, which brings natural light from early morning throughout the year. The Artola Dunes natural area near Cabopino adds a protected stretch of coastline within easy reach for walks outside the built-up zones.

Three beaches fall within about 2.6 km: Playa de Cabopino and Playa de Calahonda at 2.1 km each, and Playa de Artola at 2.6 km. Cabopino's beach adjoins the Artola Dunes, a protected dune system, and the small marina at Puerto Cabopino, which together form the closest coastal outing by car at around five minutes. Golf is the strongest recreational feature of the immediate area. Cabopino golf course lies roughly one kilometre from the complex, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at about 2.2 km and El Soto Golf at 2.5 km, giving residents three courses within a few minutes' drive. Sports centres at Finca Naundrup, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sit between 2.0 and 2.2 km away. Swimming pools beyond the communal ones include Camping Marbella Playa at about 2.0 km and Playa Real at 2.3 km. Within the complex itself, residents have the year-round pools, a children's pool, a jacuzzi and sports courts, plus beach clubs along the nearby coast.
