This two-bedroom corner apartment is located in the Locrimar 3 complex in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella. Built in 2000 and key-ready, the property offers 78 m² of living space with two bathrooms, a south- and west-facing wraparound terrace with a partial sea view, and an updated kitchen with integrated appliances. A private parking space and storage room are included in the fixed asking price of €390,000. The gated community maintains gardens, a communal pool and padel courts. Puerto Banús marina lies approximately 1 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach around 2.6 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella, roughly 7 km to the east, and San Pedro Alcántara, connected by a seaside promenade. The apartment lies about 1 km from Puerto Banús marina and 2.6 km straight-line from the nearest beach. Three golf clubs sit within 3.1 km, and daily amenities, restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks, are all within a 2 km radius.
The layout serves two occupants comfortably: both bedrooms sit at the rear for quiet, with an en-suite bathroom for the master and a separate family bathroom. The corner position brings light into the living and dining area for most of the day, and the wraparound terrace extends living space outdoors. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold climate control year-round.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment dates from 2000 and is described as key-ready and in excellent condition, with a recently updated kitchen. As an existing home, the quoted price of €390,000 is a fixed asking price rather than a starting price from a price list. Completion dates do not apply; the property can be transferred once the purchase process concludes.
The property offers 78 m² of living space with two bedrooms, which sets limits on household size. It is an apartment within a gated community, so outdoor space is limited to the terrace and shared facilities. There is no private pool or private garden. The sea view is described as a glimpse rather than a full panorama. Community rules and fees apply to the shared pool, gardens and padel courts.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a full-time residence will find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with rear-facing bedrooms, lift access and walkable amenities suited to year-round living, including the hot and cold air conditioning for both summer and winter. A buyer looking for a lock-up-and-leave holiday base benefits from the gated community with maintained communal areas, meaning the property requires no private garden work during absences. An investor focused on rental income operates in a market with documented demand: the surrounding area records roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year and supports 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, indicating sustained visitor volume. The property is less suitable for larger families needing three or more bedrooms or substantial private outdoor space, as the 78 m² footprint and terrace define its capacity. Buyers wanting a frontline beach position should note the 2.6 km straight-line distance to the sea, walkable via the paseo, but not a beachfront location. Those seeking a new-build warranty structure should also note the 2000 construction date, balanced here by the updated kitchen and the described condition. In short, the profile matches a buyer who prioritises location, walkability and rental liquidity over size or newness.
The apartment was completed in 2000, placing it in the mature category where construction quality shows in the building's structural condition and the community's upkeep rather than in developer specifications. The current description records the property as key-ready and in excellent condition. The most significant recent intervention is the kitchen: fully replaced and equipped with integrated appliances in a white finish, with a west-facing window that admits afternoon light. Throughout the property, fitted wardrobes provide storage in both bedrooms, an important practical detail in a 78 m² home. Climate control consists of air conditioning units capable of both heating and cooling, covering the two principal seasons of the Costa del Sol, hot summers and mild but occasionally cool winters. The corner position functions as a quality-of-life feature: dual aspects increase daylight in the living area and support cross-ventilation. The covered terrace section extends usability into the hotter hours and light rain. The building has a lift, which matters for long-term accessibility and for moving furniture and goods. Beyond the apartment itself, the gated community maintains shared gardens, a swimming pool and padel courts; the standard of these communal areas is a joint responsibility funded by community fees. Included in the purchase are a private parking space and a separate storage room, both of which add practical value in an area where parking pressure near Puerto Banús can be significant. As with any resale property of this age, buyers typically commission a technical survey to confirm the state of installations such as plumbing and electrics, which the available data does not specify.
The asking price is fixed at €390,000 for the apartment as offered, including a private parking space and a storage room (trastero). Because this is an existing home rather than a new development with a price list, there is no range of unit types or from-price variation; the price applies to this specific 78 m², two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner unit. At this price the property includes communal facilities, pool, gardens and padel courts, whose maintenance is funded through community fees that a buyer should verify before purchase. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start at €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though these differ in type, location and specification. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the combination of an interior-oriented, quiet sleeping zone and a bright, outward-facing living area. The corner position with south and west orientation means the living room and terrace receive sun through the middle of the day and into the evening, while both bedrooms at the rear remain shielded from street activity. The recently updated kitchen, with integrated appliances and a west-facing window, functions as a workable cooking space rather than a showpiece. The wraparound terrace acts as an extension of the living area, with space for a table and chairs, and is where most daytime hours outdoors would be spent. The gated community provides a communal pool, gardens and padel courts, so recreation within the complex requires no travel. Beyond the gates, the neighbourhood is dense with amenities: within 2 km there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies and 4 banks, which reduces dependence on a car for everyday errands. The paseo connects the area on foot to both Puerto Banús, about 1 km away, and San Pedro Alcántara, making evening walks and coastal access part of the regular routine rather than an excursion. The area remains active outside the summer season, supported by a substantial permanent population and 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider region, indicating year-round residential life rather than a purely seasonal resort. For a household of one or two people, the weekly rhythm could be entirely local: groceries, sport, dining and the beach within a compact radius, with Marbella 7 km away for wider services.
The immediate environment combines residential quiet with dense amenity provision. Within a 2 km radius, the count includes 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, meaning daily needs are met on foot. Healthcare is served by 5 health centres in the area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School 3.8 km away as the crow flies and The International School of Estepona at 7.9 km. Public transport comprises 10 lines with 50 stops, giving car-free mobility towards Marbella, San Pedro Alcántara and beyond. The seaside promenade links the neighbourhood to Puerto Banús, roughly 1 km away, and onwards, supporting walking and cycling as daily transport rather than recreation only. Marbella centre lies 7 km straight-line and Málaga city 54 km, positioning the property within reach of both a mid-sized coastal town and a provincial capital. For a resident, this translates into a routine where groceries, dining, sport and healthcare sit within a short radius, and a car is convenient for regional trips but not essential for daily errands. The area's elevation of just 10 metres above sea level with a 0.2 per cent gradient to the beach makes the whole neighbourhood flat and accessible on foot or by bicycle.
The map shows the apartment's position between Puerto Banús to the south, roughly 1 km, and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía to the north. Marbella centre lies 7 km east along the coast. Distances shown are straight-line; road routes follow the coastal corridor and are longer. The flat terrain between the property and the sea is visible in the uniform elevation of the surrounding streets.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies the stretch between Marbella (7 km, population 147,958) and San Pedro Alcántara, on the western Costa del Sol. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 54 km to the east, and Algeciras 59 km to the west. The neighbourhood is known as the golf valley of Marbella, with multiple courses in the immediate radius, and it borders the leisure economy of Puerto Banús. This positions the property in one of the more established residential-tourism zones of the coast, well connected by the coastal corridor that links the whole region from Málaga to Gibraltar.
Distances below are straight-line; actual 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 Banús marina is approximately 1 km from the property, followed by Marbella's marinas at 5.3 km and 6.7 km. Golf is a defining feature of Nueva Andalucía: 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 (2.9 km), a climbing wall at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 45 km away and Gibraltar airport 52 km, giving a choice of two airports within an hour's drive. Public transport runs on 10 lines with 50 stops in the area. An EV supercharger is available 2.3 km away.

The climate data shows a monthly average temperature range of 12 to 26°C around an annual mean of 19.2°C, mild winters and warm but not extreme summers, typical of the western Costa del Sol. The swimming season extends to six months per year with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May through October. The property sits at 10 metres above sea level on terrain with a gradient of only 0.2 per cent towards the coast, so the walking environment is flat; no steep hills separate the apartment from the beach or the promenade. This elevation and gradient mean easy pedestrian access for all ages, but also an absence of elevated panoramic views, the sea view from the terrace is a glimpse rather than an outlook from height. The orientation of the terrace, south and west, aligns with the sun path: direct light through midday and afternoon, with the covered section offering shade during peak hours. The climate supports year-round use of outdoor spaces, which is the practical basis for the indoor-outdoor living the terrace enables.

Coastal recreation is distributed along several beaches within walking and short driving distance. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 2.6 km is the closest, a dog-friendly beach; Playa de Nagüeles (2.7 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km) complete the nearest options. Puerto Banús, 1 km away, adds marina-based leisure: dining, boat watching and waterfront strolls, with the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 1.2 km offering an overlook of the port. Golf is the area's signature sport, with three courses within 3.1 km including the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. For general sport, Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km is a municipal complex, supplemented by a climbing facility at 3.6 km and a CrossFit box at 3.8 km; the complex itself includes padel courts for residents. The paseo running towards Puerto Banús and San Pedro Alcántara serves as the main pedestrian artery for jogging, cycling and evening walks. The 6-month swimming season means beach use is a half-year activity, with the communal pool extending that window within the community grounds.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a distinct position relative to the comparable new-build projects listed. 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 three are new developments on the eastern or central coast, sold with developer warranties and from-prices that vary by unit. This apartment, at a fixed €390,000, is a resale in a mature community on the western Costa del Sol, and the price difference reflects location rather than size: Nueva Andalucía sits adjacent to Puerto Banús and Marbella, an area with sustained demand, 52 hotels and roughly 4,743 annual housing transactions. Torre del Mar and Mijas are more affordable coastal towns further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core, while Estepona has developed its own market but remains some 30 km further west. For a buyer, the trade-off is concrete: the comparables offer new construction, modern specifications and warranty coverage at a lower entry price in less central locations; this property offers an established address, walkable access to Puerto Banús and the golf valley, and immediate availability without construction lead times, but with a 2000 build date and a 78 m² footprint smaller than many new-build alternatives at similar prices. Buyers comparing options should weigh the value of the location against the age and size of the unit, and verify community fees and technical condition through the standard purchase diligence.
