This penthouse duplex is located in Nagüeles, a residential district on the western side of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 118 m² of built living space, complemented by a 40 m² private terrace with sea and panoramic views. The home was completed in 2002 and is key-ready, with a west-facing orientation suited to afternoon and evening sun. The complex includes a communal pool, a children's pool, 24-hour security and underground private parking. The asking price is fixed at €530,000. Nagüeles sits between Marbella's town centre and Puerto Banús, with beaches, golf courses and international schools within a short radius.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nagüeles lies roughly 4 km from central Marbella, on the lower slopes between the coast road and the Sierra Blanca foothills. Playa de Nagüeles is 1.9 km away as the crow flies. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 4.1 km distant. The district combines residential calm with proximity to Marbella's urban facilities.
The property suits households seeking three bedrooms with en-suite facilities, sea views and outdoor space. The 40 m² terrace, lift access, fitted kitchen and marble flooring cover daily functional needs. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control year-round. Communal pools and gardens are shared facilities within the gated complex.
This is not a new-build project. The penthouse duplex was completed in 2002 and is offered as a resale in key-ready condition. No construction phase, off-plan payments or indicative delivery dates apply. The buyer can transfer ownership and move in directly after completion of the standard purchase process.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal, including a separate children's pool. There is no private garden. Parking is a single underground space. Living space is 118 m², which is compact relative to some villas in the area. West-facing orientation means limited morning sun on the terrace.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Marbella year-round would find the three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout workable, with the British International School 1.6 km away and 41 primary schools plus 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider area. Five health centres serve the municipality. Buyers seeking a second home with rental or personal seasonal use benefit from the key-ready status, no waiting for construction, and from the gated complex with 24-hour security, which simplifies periods of absence. The west-facing terrace and sea views align with holiday use centred on afternoons and evenings outdoors. Investors comparing options should note the resale market depth: 4,399 annual housing transactions indicate steady liquidity in the area. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a private pool, a private garden or extensive living space beyond 118 m², since communal facilities and a compact footprint define what is on offer. It also suits households that accept driving for the beach, 1.9 km straight-line to Playa de Nagüeles, in exchange for elevation, views and the quieter residential character of Nagüeles. Golf-oriented buyers are well placed: three courses sit within 4.6 km, including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 3.8 km. What the property does not offer is off-plan pricing potential or new-build energy standards; it is a 2002 construction with air conditioning as its main climate system.
The property was built in 2002 and is listed in excellent condition, which for a building of this age points to maintenance and possibly refurbishment during its lifetime. The documented specification is concrete rather than generic. Flooring is marble throughout, a material common in higher-end Marbella construction of that era, cool underfoot in summer and durable, though colder underfoot in winter months than timber or tile alternatives. Windows are double glazed, which supports both thermal comfort and noise reduction relative to single glazing. Climate control is provided by air conditioning units covering both hot and cold functions, meaning the same system heats in winter and cools in summer; there is no reference to underfloor heating or a fireplace in the data. The kitchen is fully fitted. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, one of three bathrooms in total. The 40 m² terrace is partly covered, allowing use in both sun and shade, and extends the effective living area considerably during the warmer months, roughly April through October given the local climate. Access to the duplex is via lift, an important practical detail for a two-level home. Security infrastructure includes a gated complex perimeter, entry phone and 24-hour security staffing. Parking is underground, covered and private. Utilities connected are electricity, drinkable water and telephone. Buyers should verify the technical state of the air conditioning units, the age of any refurbishment and community financials through the standard due diligence process, since the dataset does not record these details.
The asking price is fixed at €530,000. This is an existing resale property, not a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit prices. What the price covers is defined by the property data: three bedrooms, three bathrooms, 118 m² built, a 40 m² terrace, underground private parking, and access to communal pools and gardens within a gated complex. The property is key-ready and completed in 2002, so no staged payments or construction-linked schedule applies. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, start at lower entry points, but those are off-plan or newly built units in different submarkets, not direct like-for-like comparisons for a key-ready Marbella penthouse.
Nagüeles functions as an established residential district rather than a tourist zone, though hotels and holiday accommodation are present in the wider area, 48 hotels with over 12,600 beds serve the municipality. Daily life here is structured around the golden mile corridor: shops, schools and health centres lie within a few kilometres, and the data lists 14 restaurants and two pharmacies within 2 km of the property. The penthouse itself sits on two levels, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 118 m² of living space plus a 40 m² private terrace facing west. This orientation makes the terrace most usable from midday onwards, catching afternoon sun and, given the sea and panoramic views, evening light over the coastline. Residents who work from home or spend afternoons outdoors will notice the difference between this and an east-facing equivalent. The complex includes a lift, which matters for a duplex layout, plus 24-hour security and entry-phone access. A communal pool and children's pool cover summer use without private maintenance obligations. Parking is underground, private and covered, relevant given summer heat and the limited on-street parking that affects much of Marbella. The location is urbanised but elevated at 66 m above sea level, meaning the beach involves a short drive or a steepish walk rather than a stroll. In return, the elevation contributes to the panoramic aspect referenced in the property data. The surrounding area records 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market with regular turnover, useful context for anyone considering future liquidity.
Nagüeles sits on Marbella's western side, roughly 4 km straight-line from the town centre, close enough for practical access to its shops, restaurants and services, far enough to retain a residential character. The immediate surroundings are documented as close to shops, schools and golf, within an established urbanisation. Within 2 km, the data records 14 restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, covering everyday needs without entering the town centre. The district's elevation of 66 m places it on the first rise above the coastal strip, which explains the sea and panoramic views from the penthouse while meaning the beach sits at 1.9 km straight-line from the property, a few minutes by car, with road distance somewhat longer. Transport infrastructure is solid for a location of this type: 12 public transport lines and 50 stops serve the area, giving car-free residents a workable if not comprehensive bus network. For private vehicles, a Tesla Supercharger at 1.5 km indicates the charging infrastructure along this corridor. Marbella municipality records 147,958 inhabitants, providing the scale of services, healthcare, education, commerce, of a substantial town rather than a village. Málaga, at 51 km straight-line, is the regional centre, and Algeciras lies 63 km away. The overall pattern is a quiet residential base with urban Marbella and Puerto Banús both within a short drive, and the coastline's leisure infrastructure, marinas, golf, beaches, distributed within 5 km.
The map shows the property's position between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús, elevated at 66 m above the coastal strip. Markers include nearby beaches, golf courses, marinas and viewpoints, with all distances measured in straight lines, actual travel distances by road are longer.

Nagüeles occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: the western Marbella corridor between the historic town centre and Puerto Banús, an area long associated with established residential urbanisations. Marbella centre lies 4 km away straight-line, Puerto Banús roughly the same distance in the other direction, giving the district dual access to both. Málaga and its airport sit 51 km and 42 km straight-line respectively to the east, while Algeciras and Gibraltar lie to the west at 63 km and 55 km. Within this positioning, Nagüeles trades beachfront immediacy for elevation, views and quiet, a trade-off that shapes daily life but defines the district's character within the Marbella property market.
Beaches near the property include Playa de Nagüeles at 1.9 km straight-line and Playa de Casablanca at 2.1 km, with Playa de la Bajadilla at 4.8 km. Two Blue Flag beaches, Los Monteros (Adelfas) and Puerto Banús-Levante, are located in the municipality. Marbella's marinas are distributed within reach: Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 3.8 km, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 4.1 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 5.0 km, all straight-line distances. Golf facilities cluster nearby, with The Range at 2.2 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 3.8 km and Magna Marballa Golf at 4.6 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) lies approximately 42 km away as the crow flies, with actual road distance and driving time longer; Gibraltar Airport is around 55 km straight-line. Public transport consists of 12 lines with 50 stops in the area, making short trips to Marbella centre feasible by bus, though a car remains the practical mode for beach, golf and airport journeys. Sports facilities include Club de Tenis y Padel El Mirador at 2.7 km and Polideportivo Paco Cantos at 2.9 km.

The local climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.9°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This means mild winters where heating needs are limited, the hot-setting air conditioning can cover them, and warm summers where the covered section of the 40 m² terrace provides shade during the middle of the day. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, aligning roughly with late May through early October. The property sits at 66 m elevation on the lower slopes above Marbella, a gentle gradient rather than a steep hillside, though the walk down to the coast involves a consistent descent. Nature options nearby include several viewpoints: Cantera de la Legua at 2.8 km, Mirador la Concha at 3.6 km and Mirador de los Gitanos at 3.9 km, all straight-line. West-facing orientation gives the terrace afternoon and evening sun, with sunset light over the sea, the flip side being little direct morning light on the outdoor space. Double glazing helps regulate interior temperature against both summer heat and cooler winter evenings.

Beach access is defined by three documented options: Playa de Nagüeles at 1.9 km is the nearest, Playa de Casablanca at 2.1 km offers an alternative, and Playa de la Bajadilla at 4.8 km sits by the marina of the same name. The municipality holds two Blue Flag beaches, Los Monteros (Adelfas) and Puerto Banús-Levante, reflecting water quality and facility standards at those specific locations. The five-month swimming season with water at or above 20°C frames the realistic beach-use window. Recreation extends beyond the sand: three golf facilities lie within 4.6 km, from the practice-oriented Range to the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. Padel and tennis are available at Club de Tenis y Padel El Mirador (2.7 km), and Polideportivo Paco Cantos (2.9 km) provides municipal sports provision. Evening and weekend leisure is supported by the marinas, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 4.1 km for its dining and shopping environment, and the smaller Virgen del Carmen marina at 3.8 km. Within 2 km of the property itself, 14 restaurants and a café cover everyday dining without driving into central Marbella.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies the established-resale segment of west Marbella, a different proposition from the new-build developments used as regional comparables. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, both considerably cheaper per unit, but both are new construction in locations east and west of Marbella with different market dynamics. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, from €321,000, sits closer geographically but again represents off-plan or new-build stock rather than a completed home. The relevant trade-off is price against immediacy and location maturity: at €530,000, this penthouse costs more than the entry price of those developments, but it is key-ready today, sits in Nagüeles between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús, and carries no construction risk or delivery delays. The resale depth of the wider area, 4,399 housing transactions per year, matters for comparison as well, since it indicates a liquid market where exit is realistic. Locationally, Nagüeles competes with districts such as Sierra Blanca and Golf Valley further inland, which offer larger plots and newer villas at higher price points, and with beachfront zones that offer proximity to the sand but less privacy and view. The elevation of 66 m, the panoramic and sea views, and the presence of three golf courses within 4.6 km place the property in the golf-and-view segment of the local market rather than the pure beachfront segment. Buyers comparing options should weigh a 2002 build with air conditioning against new-build energy standards, and communal pools against private ones, both differences that shape long-term cost and use, and both visible in the underlying data rather than in marketing language.
