This duplex penthouse is situated in the Las Brisas urbanisation in Bahía de Marbella, an established residential area on the eastern edge of Marbella, roughly five minutes by car from the town centre. The property, completed in 2001 (indicative), offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms across approximately 133 square metres over two levels. The complex operates with 24-hour concierge and security, two outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts and an on-site restaurant. The nearest beach lies approximately 0.6 kilometres away, with a supermarket within 300 metres. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 35 to 39 kilometres from the property.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Bahía de Marbella sits between Marbella centre and Elviría, an urbanised coastal strip with shops, schools and medical facilities within walking distance. Playa de la Bajadilla lies approximately 0.6 kilometres away, and Marbella's municipal sports facilities, marinas and swimming pools are all under one kilometre. Eleven public transport lines serve the wider area with some fifty stops.
The property functions as a permanent residence, second home or long-term rental asset. Five bedrooms distributed over two floors suit larger households or guest use. Communal facilities including two pools, tennis courts, a children's playground and paddle board storage cover daily recreational needs. Air conditioning (hot and cold), sea and mountain views and east to south-east orientation are documented features.
This is not a new-build development. The building dates from 2001 (indicative) and is described as recently renovated and refurbished, with a documented condition listed as excellent. The property is sold furnished. As a completed resale asset, no construction phase, payment plan or delivery schedule applies; ownership can transfer directly upon completion of the standard purchase process.
The property has two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which limits en-suite availability. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data, nor is an energy performance certificate documented. The pool is communal, not private. Storage and lift access details are not recorded. The building's 2001 construction date means it predates current new-build efficiency standards.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms within reach of international schools, the British International School at 2.6 kilometres and the English International College at 7.8 kilometres, gains a school run measured in minutes rather than commutes. Households that want two-level living with sleeping quarters separated from daytime space, without maintaining a villa and its upkeep, will find the duplex structure relevant. Buyers prioritising walkability will note that the supermarket at 299 metres, hospital at 335 metres and dense surrounding amenities remove the daily car dependency common in this price bracket. Long-term investors targeting Marbella rental demand may consider the five-bedroom configuration and gated facilities, though the two-bathroom layout will constrain some tenant segments, larger groups or multiple families sharing typically expect three or more bathrooms at this size. Owners who want year-round residence rather than seasonal use benefit from the year-round pool, on-site restaurant and concierge presence, which keep the complex functioning outside the summer months. Buyers seeking a private pool, a modern energy certificate, or new-build warranty coverage should look elsewhere, as none of these apply. The property also suits those who value immediate availability: no construction phase means the transaction timeline follows the standard resale process only.
The interior follows a Nordic style with generous living areas, documented as recently renovated and refurbished and sold furnished with furniture in excellent condition. The kitchen, based on the visual material, features stainless steel appliances and a modern layout. Bedrooms include fitted closets and balcony access, and air conditioning covers both heating and cooling functions across the apartment. As a 2001 building, the underlying construction predates the technical requirements applied to current new-build developments on the Costa del Sol, notably the mandatory energy performance certification framework and modern insulation standards, so thermal performance depends on the renovation works carried out rather than original build specifications. No energy label is recorded in the available data. The communal infrastructure is a distinguishing element: 24-hour security and concierge, two outdoor pools including one heated or open year-round, tennis courts, an on-site restaurant, paddle board storage and a children's playground. These facilities are managed collectively, meaning their condition and operating hours depend on community management and fees. The condition descriptors, excellent, recently renovated, recently refurbished, indicate that the seller has invested in updating the property beyond its original 2001 specification, and the furnished sale transfers that investment to the buyer. Prospective buyers should verify the renovation scope, community fee structure and any planned building works through the standard due diligence process, as these details fall outside the documented listing data.
The property is listed at €860,000, which corresponds to approximately €6,466 per square metre of built area across 133 square metres. The listing is sold furnished, with the furniture described as in excellent condition following recent renovation and refurbishment. As a completed resale, the price is fixed rather than phase-based; there are no developer payment stages. Five bedrooms at this price point reflect the Marbella coastal premium relative to comparable listings further east, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, though those are new-build projects in lower-priced municipalities. Buyers should account for purchase costs of roughly 10 to 13 percent above the list price, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees.
Daily life in Bahía de Marbella follows a pattern typical of Marbella's established eastern coastal urbanisations, but with the practical density of an area that has matured over two decades. A supermarket sits roughly 300 metres from the complex, a hospital within 350 metres, and within a two-kilometre radius there are 138 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés. This density means most daily errands, groceries, pharmacy visits, coffee, dinner, are achievable on foot, which is not the case in many of the more isolated villa zones east of Marbella. The property's position within the gated Las Brisas complex adds a layer of managed routine: 24-hour concierge, two outdoor pools of which one stays open year-round, tennis courts, an on-site restaurant and a children's playground. For a household, the rhythm splits between complex life and the coast. The sea is described as approximately two minutes away, with two beachfront restaurants within a five-minute walk. The duplex layout separates the two levels, which suits households that want sleeping quarters detached from living areas, or owners who host guests regularly. East to south-east orientation places morning and midday sun on the terraces and living spaces, with sea, mountain and beach views documented. A car is useful for reaching golf clubs at four to six kilometres, Marbella old town, or the airport at 35 kilometres, but the immediate retail and medical infrastructure reduces dependency on daily driving. The 19.1°C average annual temperature and roughly 3,851 sunshine hours per year mean the outdoor pools, tennis court and surrounding beaches function as everyday amenities rather than seasonal extras.
The surrounding area combines residential calm with unusually dense service infrastructure. Within a two-kilometre radius: 138 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks, 25 cafés and 3 dentists. A supermarket is 299 metres away and a hospital 335 metres. Sports facilities cluster nearby, Polideportivo Francisco Norte at 0.5 km, Polideportivo Riohuelo at 0.6 km and Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 0.7 km, alongside the Piscina municipal at 0.7 km and Supera Miraflores at 0.8 km. Marbella's marinas, including Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 0.7 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 0.9 km, sit within walking distance for evening strolls or boat access. Public transport runs on 11 lines with some 50 stops, making car-free living partially feasible, though a car remains convenient for golf, airport runs and exploring inland. The urbanisation's population base of 77,667 in Marbella municipality keeps services running year-round rather than seasonally. The terrain is essentially flat, 27 metres above sea level with a 1.7 percent slope to the beach, so walking and cycling are practical. Off-season, the area retains its residential character: the year-round pool and on-site restaurant indicate the complex does not empty out in winter, in contrast to more tourist-oriented zones on the coast.
The map shows the property's position on the flat coastal plain of eastern Marbella, roughly 600 metres from Playa de la Bajadilla and its marina. The concentration of shops, medical facilities and sports centres within the immediate radius illustrates how the area functions as a year-round neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort strip.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Bahía de Marbella occupies the coastal strip between central Marbella and Elviría, placing it inside Marbella municipality (population 147,958) while remaining a distinct residential enclave. Málaga city and its metropolitan area lie 48 kilometres north-east, and Algeciras 66 kilometres south-west. Within the local hierarchy, the position is closer to Marbella centre than most eastern urbanisations, which explains the density of walkable amenities. The trade-off is a more built-up setting than the villa zones of Los Monteros or the hillside areas of Sierra Blanca.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies 0.6 kilometres from the property, with Playa de Casablanca at 2.5 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.2 km. El Alicate is 2.2 km, Playa de la Artola 5.7 km. Golf options span Greenlife Golf Driving Range at 4.6 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella at 4.7 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 5.6 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 7.6 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.5 km. Marbella centre is roughly five minutes by car. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 35 to 39 kilometres, typically 40 to 45 minutes by road; Gibraltar airport sits around 58 kilometres straight-line to the south-west. An EV charging point is 3.0 km away, with a Tesla Supercharger at 3.7 km. International schools fall within 2.6 to 7.8 kilometres.

The location records an average annual temperature of 19.1°C within a 12, 26°C band, with approximately 3,851 sunshine hours per year, figures consistent with one of Europe's sunniest coastlines. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans about five months, roughly May through October. The property sits at 27 metres above sea level on terrain with a 1.7 percent slope toward the beach, meaning access to the coast is flat and manageable on foot or by bicycle. Sea and mountain views are both documented, reflecting the dual aspect toward the Mediterranean and the Sierra Blanca foothills behind Marbella. The Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint, 3.4 km away, offers accessible hillside walking. Climatically, the eastern Marbella position benefits from the coastal moderation that keeps summer highs lower than inland Andalucía and winter frosts effectively absent, supporting year-round use of the complex's outdoor facilities.

Golf is a defining regional feature: five courses within 8.5 kilometres, including Greenlife Golf (4.7 km), Santa María Golf & Country Club (5.6 km) and the championship Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (7.6 km), plus The Range for practice at 6.1 km. Waterfront recreation includes three marinas within a kilometre. Team and racquet sports are covered by the complex's own tennis courts and three municipal sports centres within 0.7 km. The documented five-month swimming season applies to sea swimming, while the year-round communal pool extends the in-water season considerably.

At €860,000, this property occupies a different market segment from the headline new-build comparisons on the Costa del Sol. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all considerably cheaper per unit, but all located in municipalities with different market dynamics. Torre del Mar and Estepona sit at the value end of the coast, appealing to buyers prioritising space and price over proximity to Marbella's service infrastructure. Mijas straddles the middle ground between Fuengirola and Marbella. What this property purchases instead is position within Marbella municipality itself: a five-minute drive to the town centre, a hospital at 335 metres, walkable beaches and marinas, and a mature urbanisation with functioning year-round facilities. Per square metre, €6,466 is within the documented range for eastern Marbella resale stock, though the five-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration is less common than the three-bed, two-bath typology that dominates the comparable listings. Buyers weighing this against new-build alternatives should note the trade-offs explicitly: new developments in Estepona or Torre del Mar offer modern energy certification, developer warranties and phased payment structures, while this property offers immediate availability, established infrastructure, a furnished handover and a location with considerably higher service density. The Marbella rental market, where this property is also positioned as a long-term investment, typically commands higher yields per square metre than the value segments to the east, though the bathroom count will restrict the family-share rental segment. Gibraltar airport at 58 kilometres provides a secondary flight option uncommon in the eastern comparisons.
