A key-ready middle-floor apartment in Nueva Andalucía, in the heart of the Costa del Sol, offered at a fixed asking price of €280,000. The property measures 61 m² of built space with a 4 m² covered terrace, one bedroom and one bathroom, and was completed in 2003. It forms part of a gated urbanisation with a communal pool, children's pool and communal garden, positioned within a commercial area close to shops, schools and public transport. The apartment faces south-west, includes hot and cold air conditioning, double glazing, a lift and access for people with reduced mobility, and is sold fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Nueva Andalucía, a residential and commercial district west of Marbella centre and about 7 km from the city as the crow flies. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies 1.0 km away, while several golf courses, including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, are within roughly 2 to 3 km. Shops, schools and transport stops are within walking distance of the complex.
The property offers a compact, turnkey layout suited to single occupancy or a couple. A south-west orientation brings afternoon and evening light onto the covered terrace, which overlooks the communal garden. Air conditioning for both hot and cold periods, double glazing, a fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes and fibre-optic internet cover the practical daily needs of a permanent or seasonal resident.
This is a resale apartment completed in 2003 and described as being in good condition. It is key-ready and sold fully furnished, meaning no construction phase or delivery waiting period applies. Buyers should expect the finishing standards and technical installations of a building from 2003 rather than those of a current new-build development.
The property does not include private parking; parking is on the street. There is no private pool or private garden, both the pool and garden are communal. With one bedroom, one bathroom and 61 m² of built area plus a 4 m² terrace, the layout is compact. There is no storage room mentioned, and the terrace area is limited in size.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A single buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance base on the Costa del Sol will find the compact layout, communal facilities and turnkey condition practical. Because the apartment is sold fully furnished and is key-ready, it also suits buyers who want a second home they can use immediately after purchase, without renovation work or furnishing projects. The location supports a car-light lifestyle to a degree: shops, restaurants, pharmacies and transport are within walking or short-riding distance, and a courtesy bus is listed among the features. Buyers who plan seasonal stays rather than permanent residence may value this. The lift and access for people with reduced mobility make the apartment viable for older buyers or those with limited mobility, which is not always the case in older Costa del Sol urbanisations. It is less suited to buyers who need two or more bedrooms, private outdoor space of significant size, or private parking. Street parking and a 4 m² terrace define the limits here. Buyers comparing against new-build developments should also note the 2003 construction date: the double glazing, fibre-optic connection and air conditioning cover modern requirements, but the overall finishing standard corresponds to a twenty-year-old building. Finally, investors may find the position near Puerto Banús and the density of local tourism relevant to rental potential, though any such assessment requires separate market research.
The apartment was completed in 2003 and is described as being in good condition. The interior photographs show a bright living-dining room with white furnishings and curtains, an open kitchen in a modern arrangement, and a hallway with mirror and decorative details. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the bedroom includes fitted wardrobes. Because the property is sold fully furnished, the buyer effectively acquires a home ready for immediate occupation. On the technical side, the apartment has hot and cold air conditioning, allowing climate control throughout the year, relevant given local summer temperatures that reach an average monthly maximum of 26°C. Double glazing contributes to thermal comfort and noise reduction, and a fibre-optic connection supports reliable internet, which matters for remote work or streaming. WiFi is already installed. The building itself provides a lift, an entry phone system and gated access, which together address both accessibility and basic security. Access for people with reduced mobility is explicitly listed. The balcony view, per the image analysis, looks over the pool, garden and palm trees of the complex, so the outdoor visual relationship is with the communal green space rather than the street. Buyers should calibrate expectations to the construction period. A 2003 building with good maintenance, double glazing and updated connectivity performs well functionally, but internal layouts, sanitary fittings and kitchen hardware will generally reflect their age unless individually renovated. A technical inspection remains the appropriate step to verify the condition of installations, something that applies to any resale purchase in Spain.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €280,000. This is not a new-build price list; the amount applies to this specific resale property, which is key-ready and sold fully furnished. At €280,000 for 61 m² of built area, the price reflects roughly €4,590 per square metre, which is positioned within the established Nueva Andalucía resale market. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, offer different typologies and locations, so the comparison is contextual rather than direct. Availability is immediate, as no construction phase applies.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around the compact interior and the shared outdoor spaces of the gated complex. The living-dining area opens onto a covered, south-west facing terrace of 4 m², oriented towards the communal garden, which provides a sheltered spot for afternoon and evening use. Because the building has a lift and step-free access, the apartment works for residents with reduced mobility as well as for conventional use. The surrounding urbanisation places the property inside a commercial area of Nueva Andalucía: shops, a courtesy bus stop and regular transport lines are close by, with roughly 50 public transport stops and 10 lines recorded in the wider area. Within 2 km there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which reduces dependence on a car for everyday errands. Three health centres serve the broader area, and the schooling infrastructure is substantial, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools registered regionally. The rhythm of the neighbourhood shifts with the seasons. Nueva Andalucía sits adjacent to Puerto Banús, where 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 tourist beds concentrate activity, particularly in summer. Outside the high season the district reverts to a quieter residential pace. For recreation, the communal pool and children's pool are on site, the nearest beach is 2.6 km away as the crow flies, and several golf courses lie within a short drive. The flat terrain (a gradient of about 0.2% to the coast) makes walking and cycling realistic options for covering local distances.
Nueva Andalucía functions as a mature residential and commercial district immediately inland of Puerto Banús. The apartment's position within a commercial area means daily shopping and services are close at hand: 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies and 4 banks fall within a 2 km radius. The Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre is 2.9 km away as the crow flies, with Rocodromo (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km) as further options for structured training. The area's transport infrastructure includes 10 bus lines and around 50 stops, plus a courtesy bus serving the wider urbanisation network. This gives residents a workable alternative to driving for local trips, although a car remains convenient for reaching beaches and golf clubs comfortably. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 2.6 km away in a straight line, an achievable distance on foot or by bicycle given the essentially flat terrain, though the actual road route will be somewhat longer. The immediate surroundings are defined by a mix of residential urbanisations, retail and hospitality. With 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds concentrated in the locality, summer months bring noticeably higher activity, while the off-season returns to a calmer residential tempo. The apartment's south-west orientation and garden view place it visually towards the interior greenery of the complex rather than the busier commercial frontage, which moderates the urban intensity of the setting.
The map shows the apartment's position in Nueva Andalucía, immediately inland of Puerto Banús and west of Marbella centre. Note that golf courses cluster within 2 to 3 km, the nearest beach lies 2.6 km away in a straight line, and both Málaga and Gibraltar airports are within roughly 45 to 52 km.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a central position on the western Marbella stretch, between the municipal centre (7 km straight-line) and Estepona further west. Málaga city and its airport lie about 54 km and 45 km respectively to the east, while Algeciras and Gibraltar sit roughly 59 km and 52 km to the south-west. This places the district at the hinge between the Marbella-Banús core and the calmer Estepona corridor, giving residents access to both the dense amenity landscape around Puerto Banús and the more spacious developments further along the coast.
Key distances from the property, measured in a straight line: the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, at 2.6 km, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km; the marina of Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 1.0 km; and golf within easy reach at The Range (1.9 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.3 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km). Marbella centre lies 7 km away as the crow flies. Airports are well distributed: Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at roughly 45 km straight-line distance and Gibraltar (GIB) at roughly 52 km, giving a choice of arrival points depending on origin and airline. Road connections along the A-7 coastal corridor link the district to both Marbella and Estepona. Public transport coverage is comparatively strong for the Costa del Sol: 10 lines and about 50 stops serve the area, and the property is explicitly listed as near transport. For everyday needs, groceries, pharmacy, banking, cafés, nearly all amenities sit within a 2 km radius, so errands can be handled on foot or by a short ride. For beach days, golf rounds or airport runs, a car is the more practical choice.

The local climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This pattern supports outdoor use of the terrace and communal pool for most of the year, and the swimming season, the period during which sea temperature holds at or above 20°C, lasts about six months. The property stands at roughly 10 m above sea level on essentially flat terrain: the gradient towards the beach is about 0.2%, meaning no significant slopes between the apartment and the coast. This flatness benefits walking, cycling and mobility generally, and distinguishes the location from hillside districts further inland where steep access roads are common. Sun exposure on the south-west oriented terrace follows the afternoon and evening pattern, which aligns well with the regional rhythm of outdoor dining and evening use. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, keeping the summer dry, the classic Costa del Sol profile. There are 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting the density of local traditions and festivities in Andalusia.

Three beaches sit within about 3.5 km of the apartment: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 2.6 km, Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km, all measured in a straight line. The flat route to the coast makes these reachable on foot or by bicycle, although road distances will be somewhat longer. Golf is a defining feature of Nueva Andalucía, known locally as the Golf Valley. Three courses fall within the immediate data set: The Range for practice and lessons at 1.9 km, the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. For residents who play or are learning, this concentration reduces travel time considerably compared with coastal zones where courses are more dispersed. Other recreation includes the Polideportivo San Pedro municipal sports centre at 2.9 km, the Rocodromo climbing facility at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint is 1.2 km away, offering a short walk with harbour views, and Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 1.0 km provides marina-based leisure, dining and boat-related activities. Within the complex itself, the communal pool and children's pool cover daily swimming needs without leaving the grounds.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a specific niche: an established resale unit in a mature, amenity-rich district rather than a new-build development. That distinction matters for the comparison with current projects. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. All three are new-build products in locations east or west of the Marbella core, whereas this property's value proposition rests on position rather than on contemporary construction. Nueva Andalucía, often called the Golf Valley, sits immediately behind Puerto Banús. The district combines three golf courses within roughly 3 km, a marina at 1.0 km, and an unusually dense commercial and service infrastructure, 69 restaurants, multiple pharmacies and banks within 2 km. Torre del Mar and eastern Mijas offer lower entry prices but a different context: longer travel times to Marbella and Puerto Banús, and a more Spanish-domestic urban character. Estepona, represented by Etherna Homes 2, delivers newer stock at a higher entry point but sits roughly 20 to 30 km further from the Marbella nucleus. For a buyer prioritising walkable access to the Banús-Marbella leisure economy, this resale apartment competes on location density that new-build developments at similar price points in other towns cannot replicate. The trade-off is structural: a 2003 building, a compact 61 m² layout with one bedroom, a 4 m² terrace and street parking only. New-build comparables typically offer designated parking, modern energy performance standards and larger terraces, but at the cost of construction timelines, off-plan purchase risk and positions further from the central Marbella-Banús axis. Market activity in the area is substantial, with about 4,743 housing transactions per year recorded in the wider region, indicating a liquid resale market. Median provincial income of €16,450 underlines the gap between local earning levels and the international buyer segment that drives demand in this district, a dynamic that supports the rental and resale market active in Nueva Andalucía year-round.
