This property is a detached villa located in Marbesa, within the municipality of Málaga. The residence is situated on a 1,871 m² plot with a living area of 486 m². It features five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The location is characterized by its proximity to the coastline; Playa de Artola is approximately 1.1 kilometers away. The villa is situated in an urban environment where various amenities are within walking distance.
Compared to the 'Waterfall Residences' project in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this project in Marbesa offers a more exclusive living experience with much more outdoor space, against a price that is a factor of 8 higher. Where Fuengirola is characterized by urban density and high-rise buildings, Marbesa offers low density. In comparison to 'Arosa' in Mijas, the price per m² here is significantly higher, justified by the absolute beach location and the location in Marbella, a municipality that is internationally valued higher in the real estate market than Mijas.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in Marbesa, on the eastern side of Marbella. The location is directly on the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. The plot borders the beach, ensuring uninterrupted sea views. The surrounding buildings consist mainly of similar villas and low-rise structures, creating a closed and characteristic residential neighborhood. Access to the property is via a private driveway leading to the public road.
With a living area of 486 m² spread over two floors, this property type offers space for large families or multigenerational living. The layout includes a separate dining room and living area, allowing for different family activities simultaneously. The presence of a utility room and five bedrooms, four of which are en-suite, supports a household with multiple residents or guests. The south-facing orientation of the plot maximizes sunlight exposure throughout the day.
This is an existing property currently in 'Good Condition'. While habitable in its current state, the plot dimensions and existing foundation offer potential for future modifications. Technical installations, including air conditioning and double glazing, are present but date back to the original construction period. Any modernization would likely focus on updating kitchen appliances and bathrooms to current standards.
This project does not offer high-rise apartments; it is intended only for those seeking a detached villa. The beachfront location implies potential noise from the public coastal path and the sea, depending on wind direction. The villa lacks an elevator, which may be relevant for residents with limited mobility given the split-level layout of the living space. The plot is walled, but the sides border public sections of the beach path, which may impact privacy.
This project suits residents who prioritize absolute privacy combined with direct sea access. The layout with a full floor for the master suite is suitable for buyers who value a private sleeping area. Given the distance to international schools and the larger amenity level of Marbella center, a car is necessary. The location is less suitable for those seeking an apartment with shared facilities and maintenance-free outdoor living.
The description indicates 'Good Condition'. The interior features materials typical of its construction year. There is use of Douglas wood and traditional construction methods. Specific high-end brands for kitchen and sanitation are not specified, indicating standard finishing. The technical state of the pool and garden lighting (floodlit) is functional. For a buyer seeking a turn-key project without modifications, a technical survey of the lifespan of current installations (HVAC) is advisable.
The asking price for this project is set at €5,995,000. This price level reflects the unique combination of a large plot (1,871 m²) and direct beachfront location in Marbesa. Compared to surrounding projects like Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, starting from €720,000, this property positions itself in the top segment of the market. The price is justified by the plot size per m² and the exclusivity of the frontline position.
Marbesa distinguishes itself by its direct beach location without roads separating the home from the sea. A typical daily rhythm begins with sunlight on the south-facing terrace. Residents can access the beach directly from the garden via local dune crossings. The neighborhood is predominantly car-free, keeping the street atmosphere quiet. For daily groceries, a supermarket is located 490 meters away. The atmosphere in the immediate vicinity is a mix of permanent residency and tourist rental use during the summer months.
The immediate living environment is characterized by the beaches of Playa de Artola and Cabopino. Within walking distance (1.6 km) is the port of Cabopino with various restaurants. The Marbesa district itself is a gated community without through traffic, limiting internal traffic pressure. Street lighting and infrastructure are up-to-date. For more ambitious shopping, a trip to Marbella Centro or El Corte Inglés in La Cañada is necessary.
The map shows the location of the villa directly on the coastline of Marbesa. The blue markers indicate the proximity to Artola and Cabopino beaches. Distances to golf courses and the airport are measured as-the-crow-flies and represent accessibility relative to the real estate project.
Marbesa is located in the east of Marbella, bordering Elviria. The difference with the west of Marbella (like Nueva Andalucía) is the close connection to nature and the dunes. The location is more central in the Costa del Sol region than projects in Sotogrande, but quieter than the center of Fuengirola. It forms a middle ground between the bustle of Marbella town and the quieter suburbs of Mijas.
The villa is strategically located between Málaga Airport (31 km) and Gibraltar (58 km). The nearest supermarket is 490 meters away. For medical care, Hospital de Costa del Sol is located 6.4 km away. There are three golf courses within a 3-kilometer radius, with Cabopino Golf being the closest (1.6 km). Public transport is available via 11 lines with 50 stops in the region, but given the distances, a car remains the primary mode of transport.
