A recently reformed two-bedroom duplex apartment with sea views, situated in a gated community in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella. The property offers 104 m² of living space across two levels, two bathrooms including an en-suite, air conditioning, double glazing and a lift. The sale includes a private storage room, a parking space and full furnishing. The community provides three swimming pools, a padel tennis court and 24-hour security. The asking price is fixed at €780,000. The building was completed in 2001 and the apartment is key-ready.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nueva Andalucía sits directly north of Puerto Banús, whose marina lies approximately 1.0 km away as the crow flies. Marbella's centre is roughly 7 km along the coast, and Málaga airport approximately 45 km straight-line. The area is characterised by residential urbanisations set between golf courses and the coast, at an elevation of about 10 metres above sea level with a flat gradient towards the beach.
The apartment functions as a full-time residence or holiday home for two people or a small family. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fitted kitchen cover daily needs, while terraces extend living space outdoors. Communal pools, a padel court and gardens provide leisure facilities within the gated complex. Daily amenities, 69 restaurants, pharmacies, banks and cafés, are located within a 2 km radius.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment forms part of an existing development completed in 2001 and has since been modernised. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The building includes a lift, and the unit is sold furnished, with a storage room and parking space included in the asking price. The complex is an established gated community with existing management and security arrangements.
The property has two bedrooms and 104 m² of living space, which sets limits on household size. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal, shared with other residents. The building dates from 2001, so construction and installations are of that generation, albeit reformed. No private garden belongs to the unit. The nearest beach is approximately 2.6 km away as the crow flies, so the sea is not within immediate walking distance for all residents.
This property suits a buyer seeking a ready-to-use home in an established, secured community near Marbella and Puerto Banús. Several recognisable situations apply. A couple or small family looking for a permanent residence will find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, the en-suite arrangement and the lift practical for daily living, with schools, 41 primary and 28 secondary in the wider area, including the British International School at roughly 3.8 km, within commuting range. A second-home buyer benefits from different elements: the gated complex with 24-hour security and entry phone reduces vacancy concerns, the furnished sale removes the need to equip the apartment, and the key-ready status allows use from the first season onwards. The communal pools and padel court cover holiday-period recreation without private maintenance obligations. An investor considering rental use will note the location: within 2 km of 69 restaurants and near a marina with 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds in the surrounding tourism area, indicating established visitor demand. The apartment's sea views and community facilities align with what that market typically expects. The property is less self-evident for buyers wanting a large family home, a private pool or a private garden, those requirements are not met here. Equally, buyers seeking frontline beach living should note the roughly 2.6 km straight-line distance to the nearest sand.
The apartment has been reformed in recent years, with the renovation described as incorporating higher-grade materials and installations. Observable elements from the property's specification support this: a quality open-style kitchen, modernised bathrooms, a modern floating staircase connecting the two levels, double glazing throughout, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and air conditioning providing both hot and cold climate control. This combination means the unit is usable year-round, including the cooler winter months when average monthly temperatures drop to around 12°C. The building itself dates from 2001, which sets the baseline construction standard: concrete construction of that era, with a lift installed in the block. The reform addresses the interior, but structural and common-element quality corresponds to the original construction period, maintained through the community. Buyers assessing long-term ownership should factor in that communal elements, façade, roof, pools and gardens, are managed collectively and funded through community fees. Included in the sale are a private storage room and a parking space, both relevant practical additions that many resale apartments in the area lack. The furnished sale covers the visible inventory in the photographs; the exact scope of what 'fully furnished' comprises should be verified in a viewing or through the inventory list. Security installations include an entry phone system and 24-hour security service within the gated complex. Double glazing and air conditioning together address both acoustic comfort, relevant given proximity to Puerto Banús, and thermal comfort across the seasonal range of roughly 12 to 26°C average monthly temperatures.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €780,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list, so no unit variation applies: the price relates to this specific duplex, including furniture, a private storage room and a parking space. For context within the wider region, new-build projects in locations further east along the coast, Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, currently advertise from-prices between roughly €205,000 and €322,000, though these concern smaller or differently positioned units in other market segments. Nueva Andalucía's pricing level reflects its position adjacent to Puerto Banús and Marbella. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready following completion of the building in 2001 and subsequent reform.
Daily life in this duplex apartment is organised across two levels, connected by a modern floating staircase. The lower level holds the open-plan kitchen and living area, opening onto a private terrace with views over the pool area and towards the mountains and sea. The upper level contains the two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and fitted wardrobes throughout. Because the apartment is sold furnished and key-ready, the transition to actual use can be short: utilities, climate control and kitchen are in place. The residential rhythm is shaped by the gated community. Three communal pools and a padel tennis court form the social core of the complex, used mainly in the warmer months; with a swimming season of roughly six months at water temperatures of 20°C or above, the pools are practical from late spring to early autumn. The 24-hour security and entry phone system mean the property can also be left unoccupied for extended periods without the same concerns as in an open urbanisation, relevant for buyers using it as a second home. The surrounding neighbourhood provides density of services: within 2 km there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which reduces dependence on car travel for everyday errands. Public transport is available through 10 lines with 50 stops in the area. The location is flat, at roughly 10 metres above sea level, so walking and cycling to nearby amenities involve no significant climbs. Puerto Banús marina, about 1 km away in a straight line, adds a second layer of dining, shopping and marina life within easy reach, though in high season this also brings traffic and crowds to the wider area, a seasonal factor worth accounting for.
The immediate environment combines residential calm with dense amenity provision. Within a 2 km radius, residents have access to 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, meaning most daily needs are covered without longer journeys. Healthcare is supported by 5 health centres in the area. For families, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools serve the wider region, with the British International School approximately 3.8 km away in a straight line and The International School of Estepona at roughly 7.9 km. The area's character is strongly shaped by tourism infrastructure: 52 hotels with nearly 13,000 beds operate nearby. In practice this means a wide offering of dining and leisure, but also noticeable seasonal variation, busy, lively months in summer, considerably quieter winters. Housing turnover in the area is substantial, with approximately 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active resale market. Public transport runs on 10 lines with 50 stops, providing an alternative to car use for local trips. For drivers, an EV charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, lies about 2.3 km away. Recreational infrastructure is close: Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre at 2.9 km, a climbing facility at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, roughly 1.2 km away, offers a nearby walking destination with views over the coast.
The map shows the apartment's position in Nueva Andalucía, with Puerto Banús marina roughly 1 km to the south and Marbella centre 7 km further along the coast. Golf courses cluster to the north and east, and the nearest beaches begin about 2.6 km to the south. All distances shown are straight-line measurements.

Nueva Andalucía occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: immediately north of Puerto Banús and 7 km west of Marbella centre, it forms the residential heartland of one of the coast's most established premium areas. Within the regional hierarchy, it sits closer to Marbella (7 km) than to the larger population centres of Málaga (54 km) or Algeciras (59 km), which defines its orientation: local life revolves around Marbella and Puerto Banús rather than the provincial capital. The area's elevation of about 10 metres and flat terrain distinguish it from hillside urbanisations further inland, where views are broader but access involves climbing roads. For buyers comparing positions along the coast, this location trades distance from the beach, 2.6 km, for immediate proximity to marina, golf and service infrastructure.
Key distances are measured in straight line. 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; actual road distances are somewhat longer, and the terrain between the apartment and the coast is flat, with an average gradient of 0.2%. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is approximately 1.0 km away, effectively the neighbourhood's doorstep destination for dining, shopping and marina life. Marbella city centre is 7 km away, with its own municipal marina at 5.3 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 6.7 km. Málaga, the provincial capital with some 579,000 inhabitants, lies 54 km away, and its airport (AGP) approximately 45 km straight-line, usually under an hour by car depending on traffic. Gibraltar airport is an alternative at roughly 52 km. Algeciras, with ferry connections to North Africa, is 59 km away. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate area: The Range golf practice facility sits 1.9 km away, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. A car is practical for beach and golf trips; for local errands, the amenity density within 2 km and the public transport network reduce that dependency.

The location sits at approximately 10 metres above sea level on the coastal plain, with an essentially flat gradient of 0.2% towards the sea. This has practical consequences: no stairs or steep streets separate the apartment from the beach and marina area, and walking or cycling remains comfortable in warm weather. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C. Monthly averages range from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, warm summers moderated by the sea, and winters mild enough that the hot-air air conditioning installed in the apartment covers heating needs for most of the season. The swimming season extends over roughly six months, during which sea water temperatures remain at or above 20°C, typically from late May into October. Sunshine hours along this section of the Costa del Sol rank among the highest in Spain, which shapes daily life: terraces and outdoor spaces function as living areas for most of the year, and the apartment's multiple terraces gain accordingly. The mountain backdrop visible from the property, visible in the listing photographs, forms the northern boundary of the landscape, while the sea opens to the south.

The nearest beaches lie between 2.6 and 3.5 km from the property: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, Playa de Nagüeles and Playa de Casablanca, all part of Marbella's continuous coastline. Because the terrain is flat, these distances are manageable on foot or by bicycle, though most residents use a car for beach trips with equipment. Golf dominates the recreational profile of Nueva Andalucía, historically known as the 'Golf Valley' of Marbella. Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.3 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km) are established courses, while The Range (1.9 km) offers practice and lessons closer by. Within the community itself, a padel tennis court and three swimming pools provide recreation without leaving the complex. Additional sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a public sports centre, Rocodromo climbing gym (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). For evening walks, the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint lies 1.2 km away, and the promenade along the beaches connects into longer coastal walking routes. Puerto Banús marina, 1.0 km away, functions year-round as a leisure hub with waterfront dining and people-watching, busiest in the summer months.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies the established mid-to-upper segment defined by its address rather than by new-build specification. The asking price of €780,000 for a reformed 104 m² two-bedroom duplex places it above current new-build offerings further east: 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. Those projects, however, concern new construction in locations with a different position in the regional hierarchy, further from Marbella and Puerto Banús, with different amenity density and tourism exposure. Nueva Andalucía's premium derives from proximity: Puerto Banús marina at 1.0 km, three golf courses within 3.1 km, and Marbella centre at 7 km. Comparable new-build apartments at this distance from Puerto Banús typically list well above €780,000, which is the core argument for the resale segment here, the buyer acquires location and an established community rather than a new building. The trade-offs are equally concrete. The building dates from 2001, so buyers accept a construction of that generation, offset by the completed reform of the interior. The unit offers 104 m² and two bedrooms, whereas new-build competitors at lower price points often provide modern energy performance and communal facilities of current design. Housing activity in the area is high, approximately 4,743 transactions per year, indicating liquid resale conditions and steady demand, supported by tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds nearby. For a buyer prioritising immediate use, security and the Marbella, Puerto Banús address, this property competes on position; for a buyer prioritising new construction and specification per euro, the eastern alternatives offer a different proposition.
