This ground-floor apartment is situated in the La Maestranza urbanisation in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella centre and roughly one kilometre from Puerto Deportivo José Banús as the crow flies. The property offers 122 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a wraparound private terrace, and an east-to-south orientation. Built in 2002 and in good condition, it is key-ready and sold with an included garage space. The community provides 24-hour security, three swimming pools of which one is heated, and mature gardens with courtyards and fountains.
Within the western Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a distinct market position. The comparable new-build projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), are all located further east or west along the coast, in areas with a different balance of amenities and price levels. Torre del Mar and eastern Mijas are more modest, more Spanish-residential markets with fewer international services; Estepona is growing quickly but sits 20-plus kilometres further from Marbella and Puerto Banús. This apartment's €469,000 fixed asking price therefore buys a different product: not a new-build unit on a raw price list, but a completed 2002 home of 122 m² in one of the coast's most amenity-dense districts, with a garage space included, 24-hour security and three pools. The regional context supports that premium. Marbella, 7 km away, records roughly 148,000 inhabitants and 4,743 housing transactions per year in the area's market, indicating consistent liquidity. Tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds, sustains demand for rental and second homes, while the golf valley and two airports within about an hour (Málaga at ~45 km, Gibraltar at ~52 km, straight-line) underpin year-round accessibility. Against new-build alternatives, the trade-off is clear: buyers get immediate availability, an established community and a proven location, in exchange for construction standards of 2002 rather than current specifications. For buyers comparing within Nueva Andalucía itself, the distinguishing variables are floor level, terrace size and community services; this unit's wraparound terrace, heated pool access and included parking are the concrete points of comparison.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Nueva Andalucía, a residential district between Marbella (7 km straight-line) and Puerto Banús (1 km). Shops, restaurants, pharmacies and banks are within walking distance, and the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, sits 2.6 km away as the crow flies. The area is flat, at roughly 10 metres above sea level.
The home suits everyday Mediterranean living: a fully fitted kitchen, utility room, ensuite bathroom, double glazing and individual hot-and-cold air conditioning in every room. The wraparound terrace extends living space outdoors, with east-to-south orientation providing morning and midday sun. Communal pools, one heated, allow swimming beyond the summer months.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2002 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Its condition is documented as good, and the current layout of two bedrooms and two bathrooms could be reconfigured towards three bedrooms, subject to the usual permissions.
The property offers two bedrooms rather than three in its current state, and it is an apartment within a community, so no private pool or private garden belongs to the home. It is sold unfurnished. There is no view of the sea directly from an elevated position; it is a ground-floor unit overlooking gardens and pools. A reconfiguration to three bedrooms would require works and approvals.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home near Puerto Banús gets a walkable location, communal pools and 24-hour security, meaning the property can be locked up for months without concern. Buyers planning a permanent move to the Costa del Sol will find practical attributes: flat surroundings, a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning in every room, an ensuite bathroom and a utility room, features that support year-round residence rather than holiday-only use. Golf players benefit from the position inside Nueva Andalucía's golf valley, with Las Brisas 2.3 km away and Magna Marbella at 3.1 km, both measured in a straight line. Investors may note the rental dynamics of the area: 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds nearby indicate sustained visitor demand, and an unfurnished two-bedroom unit with parking offers a plausible lettable product, subject to licensing rules. Families with children have 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider area, plus international options such as the British International School 3.8 km away. The property is less obvious for buyers wanting a detached villa, a private pool or a sea view from a raised vantage point; it is a ground-floor apartment oriented towards gardens and terraces. It also suits those who value readiness over renovation, since it can be used as it stands, though its layout leaves room for a conversion to three bedrooms should a household need that.
The apartment was completed in 2002 and is documented as being in good condition. Standard features for this generation of construction in Nueva Andalucía are present and confirmed by the property data: double glazing throughout, individual hot-and-cold air conditioning units in each room, a fully fitted kitchen and a separate utility room. The two bathrooms include an ensuite connected to the principal bedroom; imagery shows a modern bathroom with a combined shower and tub. The wraparound terrace is a structural feature of the ground-floor typology, wrapping the living spaces on the east and south sides and giving direct access from the interior to outdoor areas. Interior circulation works around the terrace rather than a single balcony, which distinguishes the layout from tower apartments with one-sided terraces. The community infrastructure is equally relevant to quality of life: three swimming pools, of which one is heated, landscaped courtyards with tiled fountains and potted planting, and 24-hour security staffing. An included garage space is part of the purchase, which is a material point in Nueva Andalucía, where parking near the port and commercial areas can be constrained in summer. As an existing 2002 building, buyers should expect construction standards of that period rather than current new-build specifications; no data is available on recent system replacements, so a technical survey before purchase is the standard route to verify installations. The option to modernise exists: the seller positions the unit as usable as it is, or convertible into a three-bedroom home, which would involve internal works and community or municipal approvals.
The asking price is a fixed €469,000 for this existing apartment, sold key-ready and including a garage space. The price reflects a completed, immediately usable home rather than an off-plan purchase with staged payments. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast are marketed from lower starting prices, for example €269,950 in Torre del Mar, €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, but those figures apply to different locations and typically smaller units without an established 2002-built community, security service and included parking. Buyers should treat the price as the current asking figure, subject to negotiation and market movement.
La Maestranza is a consolidated urbanisation in the heart of Nueva Andalucía, a district known for its mix of permanent residents, seasonal visitors and proximity to the golf valley. Daily life here is practical: the nearest restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks fall within a two-kilometre radius, and with 69 restaurants in that zone, eating out or ordering in requires little planning. The apartment's ground-floor position with a wraparound terrace suits a rhythm of indoor-outdoor living, with morning sun on the eastern side and midday to early-afternoon light on the southern side. Because the terrain is flat, a gradient of only 0.2 per cent towards the sea, walking and cycling are realistic options for local errands. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies about one kilometre away as the crow flies, meaning the marina's shops, bars and boat-watching promenade are within comfortable walking distance for most residents. The community itself operates with 24-hour security, which shapes how the complex feels: controlled access, familiar staff, and a quieter interior atmosphere than the streets around the port. Three communal pools, one heated, extend the swimming season beyond the roughly six months during which sea temperatures exceed 20°C. For residents who play golf, Las Brisas and Magna Marbella golf courses are between roughly 2 and 3 kilometres away, while The Range practice facility is 1.9 kilometres from the door. The combination places daily amenities, leisure infrastructure and the marina within a compact radius.
Nueva Andalucía sits immediately north of Puerto Banús and west of central Marbella, placing this apartment in one of the most amenity-dense pockets of the western Costa del Sol. Within two kilometres there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which covers most daily needs on foot or by a short drive. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 2.6 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km offering alternatives. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at roughly 1 km, functions as the district's social and commercial anchor, while the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 1.2 km gives a sea-facing walking destination closer than the beach itself. Healthcare access includes five health centres recorded in the area, and education spans 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School 3.8 km away. The setting is residential rather than rural: it is an urbanisation with steady traffic on surrounding roads, busier in summer, and quieter in the winter months when the tourist volume drops. Public transport covers the district with 10 lines and 50 stops, a reasonable network for coastal Spain, though a car remains the practical choice for beach trips, golf and airport transfers. For EV drivers, a Tesla supercharger station is 2.3 km away.
The map shows the apartment's position in Nueva Andalucía, immediately north of Puerto Deportivo José Banús and 7 km from central Marbella. Beaches, golf courses and the coastal road are all within a short radius, illustrating how the district sits between the marina and the golf valley.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies the stretch between Marbella (7 km) and Estepona further west, at the heart of the Costa del Sol's most consolidated resort corridor. Málaga city and its airport sit 45-54 km east, while Algeciras and Gibraltar lie 52-59 km to the south-west. The district's position between Puerto Banús and the golf valley defines its character: more residential than the port itself, more urban than the hillside villas of Benahavís, and flatter than most of the coast's second line. Within the region it functions as a central base, close to the sea, the marina and the golf courses simultaneously.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 2.6 km away on flat terrain, walkable for most residents in roughly half an hour or a few minutes by car. Marbella centre lies 7 km away and Málaga city 54 km; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km, with Gibraltar Airport (GIB) a comparable 52 km to the west, a rarity on this coast, giving a choice of two airports within an hour's drive. Golf is close: The Range 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 (2.9 km), a climbing wall at Rocodromo (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). By car, the A-7 coastal road and the AP-7 toll motorway connect the district along the coast. Public transport runs on 10 lines with 50 stops in the area, usable for Marbella and San Pedro trips, though frequency and coverage are more limited than in a large city.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal regime: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.2°C. Winters are mild enough for terrace use on sunny days, while summers are warm but moderated by the sea. The swimming season, when water temperatures hold at or above 20°C, lasts around six months, and the community's heated pool extends comfortable swimming beyond that window. The apartment sits at roughly 10 metres above sea level with a gradient of 0.2 per cent towards the coast, meaning essentially flat terrain with no hills between the urbanisation and the beach. That flatness matters for daily comfort: no steep walks home, easy cycling, and level access to shops and the marina. Sunshine hours along this stretch of coast are among the highest in Spain, supporting the indoor-outdoor use of the wraparound terrace through most of the year.

Three beaches lie within 3.5 km: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.6 km), Playa de Nagüeles (2.7 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km), all measured in a straight line. These are the sandy stretches between Puerto Banús and Marbella centre, backed by the paseo marítimo that runs continuously towards the old town, a walkable coastal promenade for morning or evening walks. Recreation is not limited to the shore. The golf valley of Nueva Andalucía places three courses within about 3 km, from the practice facilities at The Range (1.9 km) to the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.3 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km). The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint (1.2 km) overlooks the port entrance. Organised sport is available at Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), Rocodromo climbing (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). Water-based activity centres on Puerto Deportivo José Banús (1.0 km), where marinas, charter boats and beach clubs operate year-round.
