This one-bedroom apartment in the Lorcrimar urbanisation of Nueva Andalucía offers 58 m² of living space, sold fully furnished and equipped, with an included underground parking space and an existing tourist licence. Built in 1998 and in good condition, it features a private terrace, marble flooring, air conditioning and access to a gated community with landscaped gardens and a communal swimming pool. The property sits about 1.0 km as the crow flies from Puerto Deportivo José Banús, with the nearest beach roughly 2.6 km away. The asking price is fixed at €345,000.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build projects commonly listed alongside it. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €321,000, all from-prices for new construction without furniture. This property's fixed €345,000 asking price sits above those entry points, but the comparison is not direct: it includes a full furniture package, an underground parking space and an existing tourist licence, three items that typically add cost separately in new-build purchases. The location itself is also a differentiating factor. Torre del Mar and Mijas are respectively east and west of Málaga city, further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core; Estepona is closer but still roughly 20 km further along the coast. Nueva Andalucía's position next to Puerto Banús places it in one of the coast's most mature, amenity-dense districts, with 69 restaurants within 2 km, three golf courses within 3.1 km and a year-round residential base of roughly 4,743 annual housing transactions in the local market. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off explicitly: newer construction and a lower entry price further from Marbella, versus an older but turnkey, licensed and furnished home in an established central location. The 1998 construction year means building standards predate current energy-efficiency codes, which is a factual point to verify during technical due diligence rather than a disqualifying factor.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in Nueva Andalucía, immediately inland of Puerto Banús. The marina lies about 1.0 km away in a straight line, while the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is roughly 2.6 km. Marbella centre is 7 km away. The setting combines an urbanised residential environment with proximity to port, sea and marina.
The home is suited to single-person or couple occupancy, or use as a lock-and-leave holiday base. One bedroom, one bathroom and 58 m² keep maintenance modest. Air conditioning, double glazing, a fully fitted kitchen and a private terrace cover the core functional needs, while the communal pool and gardens extend the usable living space beyond the apartment itself.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1998 and is key-ready, described as being in good condition. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to take into account; the buyer can take occupancy shortly after completion of the purchase, subject to the usual notarial process.
The property has one bedroom and one bathroom in 58 m², which limits its capacity to small households. It is east facing, so direct sunlight is concentrated in the morning. There is no private pool, private garden or private garage box; parking is a space in the underground car park and outdoor areas are communal. No lift details, storage room or plot data are available.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Costa del Sol will find the furnished, key-ready condition and gated community practical: arrival, unpacking and use can happen in the same week. A single person or couple relocating permanently benefits from the compact layout, walkable amenities and bus connections, with Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara within short driving distance. An investor focused on holiday rentals can act on the existing tourist licence, the Puerto Banús location and the strong local tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds indicate sustained seasonal demand in the immediate area. A buyer wanting rental income mixed with personal use can alternate both without additional licensing steps, since the permit already exists. The apartment is less suitable for families needing multiple bedrooms, for buyers wanting a private pool or garden, or for those seeking contemporary new-build specifications. It also does not suit buyers who require afternoon sun on the terrace, given the east-facing orientation. In short, the property matches small households and investors prioritising location and turnkey readiness over space and privacy.
The apartment dates from 1998 and is presented in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout, which is durable and typical of the era's higher-specification coastal builds. Double glazing is fitted, improving thermal comfort and reducing street noise in a neighbourhood that sees seasonal tourist traffic. Climate control consists of air conditioning with cold-air function, adequate for the local summer temperatures that average between 12°C and 26°C across the year. The kitchen is fully fitted, with wooden worktops and a window visible in the photographic material; the bathroom is modern, with mirror lighting. The property is sold fully furnished and equipped, as the interior photographs confirm, bedroom with white furniture, ceiling fan and balcony access, and a living room with sofa and TV console. A satellite TV connection is present. Security provisions include a gated complex with entry phone. An underground parking space is included, protecting the vehicle from sun and heat. Technical documentation such as the energy certificate and cadastral reference should be reviewed with the agent during due diligence. Buyers should treat the 1998 construction year as a reason to inspect building maintenance, community finances and the condition of shared installations such as the pool plant.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €345,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build with a price list, so the figure applies to this specific property. The price includes the full furniture package and equipment as well as the underground parking space, which affects the effective cost comparison against unfurnished alternatives. An existing tourist licence is in place, which is relevant for buyers weighing holiday-let use against personal occupancy. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, from €205,000 in Mijas to €321,000 in Estepona, typically start at comparable levels without furniture or licence included. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around compact, low-effort living in a gated community. Morning light reaches the private terrace early thanks to the east-facing orientation, making it a natural spot for breakfast before the day begins. The living room and bedroom are arranged around this terrace, with the bedroom also having access to the balcony, so both principal rooms share the outdoor connection. The fully fitted kitchen, with wooden worktops and a window, handles everyday cooking without excess space. The communal swimming pool and landscaped gardens function as an extension of the home during the warmer months, the swimming season here runs around six months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The neighbourhood is strongly service-oriented: within 2 km there are some 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies and 4 banks, so most daily errands can be done on foot or by a short drive. Puerto Banús, about 1.0 km away as the crow flies, adds dining, marina walks and nightlife within easy reach. The area is flat, the gradient to the beach is around 0.2%, which makes walking and cycling practical. Outside the summer months the area is quieter than in high season, but the residential base of Nueva Andalucía keeps supermarkets, sports clubs and restaurants open year-round. A car is convenient for beaches and Marbella centre, though the local bus network of 10 lines and 50 stops covers the urban core.
Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella and Estepona, in one of the Costa del Sol's most service-dense residential zones. Within a 2 km radius the apartment has access to 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, plus 5 health centres in the broader area. Education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School 3.8 km away and The International School of Estepona 7.9 km away, relevant for longer-term relocation planning. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at roughly 1.0 km straight-line, functions as the area's social and leisure hub. The terrain is flat, with elevation around 10 m above sea level, so walking is easy in all directions. Public transport covers the district with 10 lines and 50 stops. Marbella's municipal facilities such as Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km) and the municipal marina (5.3 km) extend the sporting options. The contrast between high-season bustle near the port and the calmer residential streets inland defines the rhythm of the year.
The map shows the apartment's position in Nueva Andalucía, immediately north of Puerto Banús and its marina. Marbella centre lies 7 km east along the coast, and the golf courses of the area form a belt inland of the property. All distances shown are straight-line.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol, 7 km from Marbella and within commuting range of Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 54 km to the east, while Algeciras is 59 km to the west. The district is known primarily for its concentration of golf courses and its adjacency to Puerto Banús, which places it among the more established residential areas of the Marbella municipality rather than a newly developing zone.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 2.6 km away, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 1.0 km from the property. Golf is close: The Range golf lessons at 1.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. Marbella is 7 km away, Málaga city 54 km, and Malaga-Costa del Sol airport approximately 45 km, Gibraltar airport is an alternative at about 52 km.

The climate is a central feature of this location. The average annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about six months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C. Elevation is around 10 m above sea level with a flat gradient of roughly 0.2% toward the beach, so there are no hills between the apartment and the coast. This low, level position means the area is walkable and cycle-friendly, though it lacks the panoramic elevation of the hillside urbanisations further inland. Outdoor use of the terrace, pool and nearby promenades is realistic for most of the year. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 1.2 km away, offers a nearby spot for coastal views.
