This ground-floor apartment sits in the Locrimar community in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The home measures 59 m² and comprises one bedroom, one bathroom, a living and dining area, a separate kitchen, and a generous private terrace. Built in 1998 and offered key-ready, it carries a fixed asking price of €389,000. The community includes well-maintained communal gardens and a swimming pool. Puerto Banús marina lies about 1 km away as the crow flies, with Marbella itself roughly 7 km along the coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in Nueva Andalucía, a residential district between Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is approximately 1 km away in a straight line, and Marbella centre roughly 7 km. Within 2 km there are dozens of restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks. The area is flat, at about 10 metres above sea level.
The layout serves a single occupant or a couple: one bedroom, one bathroom, an open living and dining space, and a separate fully equipped kitchen. Both main rooms open directly onto the private terrace, which allows outdoor dining and lounging. Communal gardens and a pool cover the recreational needs, while the 59 m² interior keeps cleaning and upkeep limited.
This is an existing home, completed in 1998, not a new-build project. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied immediately after purchase. No delivery waiting period applies, and no off-plan construction risk exists. Renovation or modernisation requirements, if any, would be determined at inspection.
The property has one bedroom and one bathroom within 59 m² of living space, which limits capacity for families or regular guests. The dwelling is east-facing, so direct sunlight on the terrace concentrates in the morning. No private garden or private pool is included; both are communal. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data.

The apartment fits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance base in a mature, fully serviced neighbourhood. Recognisable situations include: a single person or couple wanting a permanent residence with restaurants, healthcare and transport within a short radius; an owner looking for a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, where the terrace and communal pool cover seasonal use without garden maintenance obligations; and an investor considering the rental market, given that the district records strong tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds nearby, which supports short-term demand. The one-bedroom format does not suit households needing multiple rooms, and buyers wanting sea views or a private pool should note these are absent. The east orientation suits those who value morning sun rather than all-day exposure. Practical daily life works well without a car for local errands, though a vehicle expands access to golf courses, Marbella centre and the airports. Buyers prioritising a 1998 construction should also budget for inspection of installations, plumbing, electrics and glazing, as is standard for properties of this age. The flat terrain and lift-free ground-floor access may appeal to older buyers, provided the inspection confirms the step-free route to the terrace and pool area.
The property dates from 1998, which places it in an established construction period for the Costa del Sol. The description confirms a fully equipped separate kitchen and a bright living and dining area, with direct terrace access from both the living room and bedroom. Photography shows a bright interior with large windows and an outdoor patio overlooking the lush garden. As with any resale home of this age, the technical condition of installations should be verified during viewing: the boiler or air conditioning units, electrical wiring, plumbing and window frames all date from the original construction unless updated by previous owners. The seller's materials state the home is key-ready, so it is habitable in its current state, but the finishing level is that of a 1990s build rather than contemporary new construction. The communal facilities, gardens and swimming pool, are described as well maintained, which reflects ongoing community management. Buyers comparing this with new-build alternatives on the coast should weigh the age of the building against the location: the same budget buys newer construction further from Puerto Banús and Marbella, or an older property in this district. An independent technical survey remains the standard instrument for assessing structural and installation condition before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €389,000. This concerns a completed, key-ready resale apartment built in 1998, so no staged payment plan or construction-linked schedule applies. The price reflects a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit of 59 m² with a substantial private terrace and access to communal gardens and a pool in a central Nueva Andalucía location. For comparison, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Torre del Mar from €269,950, Mijas from €205,000 and Estepona from €321,000, advertise starting prices for new construction, which is a different product category from a ready resale home in this district. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life at Locrimar is shaped by its position within walking and short-driving distance of Nueva Andalucía's amenities. The morning routine can start on the east-facing terrace, where the first hours of daylight fall on the outdoor seating area before the sun moves overhead. From there, cafés and restaurants within 2 km provide breakfast options without needing a long journey. The supermarket, bank and pharmacy network in the district covers ordinary errands. The communal pool gives the complex its social centre during the warmer months, and the swimming season here runs about six months of the year, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The flat terrain, at roughly 10 metres elevation with a gradient of just 0.2% toward the beach, means walks and cycling require no serious climbs. Puerto Banús, about 1 km away as the crow flies, functions as the evening and weekend destination: marina promenades, dining and people-watching. San Pedro de Alcántara lies in the other direction, also reachable within minutes by car. For sport, padel clubs and gyms sit in the immediate surroundings, and Polideportivo San Pedro is 2.9 km away. The apartment's compact format suits a rhythm based on outdoor living: terrace mornings, pool afternoons and evening outings to the coast road destinations nearby.
The surroundings of Nueva Andalucía combine residential calm with dense amenities. Within a 2 km radius, the data counts 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, an unusually complete provision for daily life. Five health centres serve the wider area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international schools such as the British International School 3.8 km away. Public transport covers the district with 10 lines and 50 stops, which makes car-free living feasible for local trips. Distances to points of interest are measured as the crow flies: 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. Golf is a defining feature of the district, 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. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro, a climbing gym and CrossFit Marbella. Marbella centre is 7 km straight-line, Málaga city 54 km, and the coastal motorway connects the district along the shore. The area's tourism weight, 52 hotels in the vicinity, means summer months bring noticeably more traffic and visitors, while the off-season is quieter.
The map shows the apartment's position in Nueva Andalucía, between Marbella and Puerto Banús. Note that the golf valley lies inland of the coastal strip, and the beach locations marked are straight-line distances; actual routes by road run slightly longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies the strip between Marbella centre and San Pedro de Alcántara, on the western side of the Marbella municipality. Within the region, the district is known as the golf valley of the Costa del Sol, with a high concentration of courses and established residential communities. Marbella, 7 km away with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, provides full urban services. Málaga city, the provincial capital with about 579,000 inhabitants, is 54 km northeast, and Algeciras lies 59 km southwest toward Gibraltar. The district's housing market records roughly 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment with regular liquidity for owners.
Access to the apartment is straightforward by car and partly feasible by public transport. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 45 km away in a straight line, and Gibraltar Airport about 52 km, giving two international options with a roughly one-hour drive each. The nearest beach sits 2.6 km from the door, walkable in about half an hour or a few minutes by car. Puerto Banús marina is 1 km away as the crow flies, close enough for an evening stroll or a short drive. Marbella centre is 7 km straight-line, San Pedro de Alcántara just beyond the marina in the other direction. Ten bus lines with 50 stops serve the local network, covering connections toward Marbella and San Pedro. For drivers, an EV charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, is 2.3 km away. Road distances will be longer than the straight-line figures cited, as is always the case along the winding coastal geography.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, a profile that supports year-round terrace use. The swimming season lasts approximately six months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C. The elevation is 10 metres above sea level and the gradient toward the beach is 0.2%, effectively flat terrain, which makes walking and cycling practical without significant climbs. The east-facing orientation of the apartment means the terrace receives morning sun, a comfortable arrangement in the height of summer when midday exposure becomes intense. Rainfall on this stretch of coast is modest and concentrated outside the summer months. The surroundings include the green belt of Nueva Andalucía's golf valley, with several courses within a 2-3 km radius providing open, landscaped space rather than dense urban blocks.

Golf dominates the local recreation offer: 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 place three courses within minutes of the door. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km, the Rocodromo climbing venue at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 1.2 km away, offers a nearby outlook over the coast.

Within the western Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a distinct position: it is a mature, amenity-dense residential district immediately inland of Puerto Banús, rather than a purpose-built coastal development. Compared with the new-build alternatives currently marketed on the coast, this apartment competes on location rather than on construction age. 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 new construction, but all positioned further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core. Buyers choosing this property pay for centrality within the golf valley and marina zone, accepting a 1998 build in exchange. The district's own market context supports this trade-off: roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year in the area indicate an active resale market, and the surrounding tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and around 12,800 beds, sustains rental demand for smaller units. Compared with Marbella centre itself, 7 km east, Nueva Andalucía is calmer and more residential, with lower urban density but equal proximity to the coast road. Compared with Estepona further west, it sits closer to both airports' catchment: Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 45 km and Gibraltar at 52 km straight-line. The median provincial income of €16,450 per year contextualises the local economy, which blends tourism employment with an established international resident base. For buyers weighing resale versus new-build, the practical comparison comes down to this: newer finishes and modern efficiency standards further along the coast, or an established community with immediate access to Marbella's most service-intensive district.
