This two-bedroom apartment is located in the La Maestranza residential development in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella and about one kilometre as the crow flies from Puerto Banús marina. The property measures 119 m² of living space and was partially renovated in 2023. It forms part of a gated community with communal swimming pools and gardens, and includes a private underground parking space. The asking price is fixed at €495,000. Nueva Andalucía sits at roughly 10 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with the nearest beach approximately 2.6 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in the heart of Nueva Andalucía, a consolidated residential area of Marbella. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is approximately 1 km away as the crow flies, while several golf courses, including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km, surround the district. Marbella centre is 7 km away in a straight line, and Málaga airport approximately 45 km.
The home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate guest toilet, with an open-plan kitchen connected to the living and dining area. A private terrace and balcony provide outdoor space, and the east-facing orientation gives morning sun. Air conditioning, fibre optic internet and communal facilities including a heated pool cover daily living needs. An existing holiday rental licence allows combined personal and short-term rental use, subject to regulations.
This is not a new-build project. The property is an existing apartment completed in 2003 and partially renovated in 2023, currently key-ready. The building and communal areas belong to the established La Maestranza gated community. Any purchase therefore concerns a completed, previously owned home rather than an off-plan construction with phased payments or delivery risk.
The property does not offer a private pool or private garden; swimming and outdoor space are communal. It has two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. The beach is not within walking distance at 2.6 km straight-line. Built in 2003, the construction predates current new-build standards. Furniture is optional and may involve separate negotiation. No private outdoor parking is included; parking is a single underground space.
Several buyer situations match this property's profile. A couple or small family seeking a permanent residence in Marbella would find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with an additional guest toilet functional for year-round living, with schools, 41 primary and 28 secondary in the wider dataset, plus the British International School at 3.8 km, within reach. A buyer wanting a holiday home with occasional rental income has a concrete instrument here: the existing holiday rental licence permits short-term letting subject to current regulations, which is not automatic in this region. An investor evaluating rental yield can weigh the 1 km distance to Puerto Banús marina and the density of tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds recorded in the area, as indicators of seasonal demand. Buyers prioritising outdoor private space may find the arrangement less suitable: the terrace and balcony are private, but the pool and gardens are communal, and the plot offers no private garden. Households needing three or more bedrooms would need to look elsewhere in the same development or district. The property also suits buyers who prefer a completed, renovated home over an off-plan purchase, since there is no construction phase or delivery date to monitor. Finally, those who want to walk to the beach should note the 2.6 km straight-line distance; the location rewards car owners, though the 10 bus lines and 50 stops provide a fallback for local travel.
The apartment was partially renovated in 2023, which places key elements of the interior at recent standards while retaining the 2003 construction as the base. The listing photographs show modern bathrooms with white marble vanities, marble tiling and mirrored finishes, indicating that the wet rooms were part of the recent works. The kitchen is fully fitted and integrated into the open-plan living area, a layout that carries both practical and social advantages: cooking remains connected to the dining space, and natural light from the terrace side reaches the core of the home. The property is described as being in excellent condition and recently refurbished, with air conditioning installed and fibre optic internet available, the latter relevant for remote workers and long-stay tenants alike. Technical features at community level include a heated communal pool, extending the usable swimming period beyond the outdoor season, and communal gardens maintained by the community. The construction date of 2003 means the building's structure, insulation and window frames reflect the standards of that period rather than current new-build regulations; the 2023 renovation addressed interior finishes but not the underlying building envelope. For a buyer, this distinction matters when evaluating long-term maintenance expectations: communal fees cover shared infrastructure, while in-apartment systems such as air conditioning fall to the owner. Security is handled at development level through the gated complex with controlled access. The private underground parking space protects the vehicle from sun and weather, a practical consideration in this climate. Optional furniture means the purchase can be completed with or without the current contents, depending on the buyer's preference.
The asking price is fixed at €495,000 for the property as offered, covering the apartment of 119 m², the private underground parking space and, subject to negotiation, optional furniture. This is an existing home completed in 2003 and partially renovated in 2023, so the price reflects a finished, immediately usable property rather than a pre-construction purchase. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those figures are 'from' prices for off-plan units in different locations and market segments. In Nueva Andalucía, location proximity to Puerto Banús and the golf valley is the principal price-setting factor.
Daily life in this part of Nueva Andalucía revolves around a residential rhythm punctuated by the nearby amenities of Puerto Banús and the golf valley. The apartment's position inside a gated development means the immediate surroundings are quiet and maintained, with communal gardens and swimming pools forming the semi-public layer between the front door and the street. The nearest of these pools sits close to the apartment itself, which shortens the practical distance for a morning swim. Inside, the layout follows a conventional two-bedroom structure: an open-plan kitchen and living-dining area at the centre, two bathrooms plus a guest toilet, and both a terrace and a balcony extending the living space outdoors. The east-facing orientation means the main outdoor areas receive morning sun and shade later in the day, a pattern suited to breakfast outside and afternoon retreat indoors. Errands are straightforward: the dataset records 69 restaurants, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and 10 cafés within 2 km, so groceries, coffee and daily services sit within a short drive or a longer walk. The flat terrain at around 10 metres elevation makes cycling and walking realistic for local trips. Transport options include 10 bus lines with 50 stops in the area, which reduces, though does not eliminate, dependence on a car. The private underground parking space covers the practical side of car ownership. For part-year residents, the combination of a gated community, an on-site rental licence and a location 1 km from the marina supports flexible use patterns across the seasons.
Nueva Andalucía functions as Marbella's golf valley, and the data confirms this: three golf facilities, 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 straight-line, lie within a short radius of the apartment. Puerto Banús marina is approximately 1 km away as the crow flies, meaning the restaurants, boutiques and nightlife of the port are reachable on foot or by a short drive, while the residential streets around La Maestranza remain quieter. Amenities within 2 km include 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which covers nearly all daily needs without leaving the district. Sport options extend beyond golf: Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km offers municipal facilities, Rocodromo at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km cover indoor training. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 1.2 km provides a coastal panorama. Healthcare is served by 5 health centres in the wider area, and education by 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, including the British International School at 3.8 km. Public transport comprises 10 lines and 50 stops, connecting the area to Marbella centre, 7 km away, and to San Pedro. The area sits at 10 metres elevation with a 0.2% gradient to the beach, effectively flat, so walking and cycling are unhindered by hills. Traffic concentrates around the coastal artery and the port in summer; residents of the gated community experience this seasonally.
The map shows the apartment's position within Nueva Andalucía, with Puerto Banús marina roughly one kilometre to the south-east and the golf courses of the valley to the north and west. Beaches along this stretch of coast lie between 2.6 and 3.5 km away in a straight line. All distances shown are direct; road distances may be longer.

Nueva Andalucía occupies the coastal strip immediately west of Puerto Banús and north-east of San Pedro de Alcántara, placing it between Marbella's historic centre (7 km) and the wider Costa del Sol corridor towards Estepona. Within the region, it is positioned as a consolidated, low-rise residential zone embedded among golf courses, distinct from the high-rise density of Marbella's eastern beachfront. Málaga, the provincial capital at 54 km, anchors the eastern end of the coast, while Algeciras at 59 km marks the direction towards Gibraltar. Annual housing transactions in the area number 4,743, indicating an active resale market.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km, all within a five-minute drive on flat terrain. Marbella city centre is 7 km straight-line, and Málaga with its 579,076 inhabitants lies 54 km away, reachable via the A-7 and AP-7 coastal routes. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km in a straight line; actual driving distance and time are longer, typically around 45-50 minutes depending on traffic. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) at roughly 52 km straight-line is an alternative for certain routes. For electric vehicle owners, the Marbella Supercharger sits 2.3 km from the property. Public transport, 10 lines with 50 stops, serves the district, reducing car dependency for local trips, though most residents use the included private underground parking space. All distances quoted are straight-line; road distances and travel times are generally longer.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.2°C, a typical Mediterranean coastal pattern. The swimming season extends to six months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, running roughly from late spring into autumn. The property's elevation of 10 metres above sea level and the 0.2% gradient to the coast mean the terrain is entirely flat, with no uphill walking between the apartment and the sea. The mountain views recorded in the listing refer to the Sierra Blanca range behind Marbella, visible from parts of Nueva Andalucía and adding a visual contrast to the coastal setting. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, while the summer months are predominantly dry and sunny, the conditions that underpin the region's appeal for second-home buyers. The east-facing orientation of the apartment aligns indoor and outdoor use with morning sun, cooler afternoons on the terrace and natural light in the bedrooms early in the day.

Set against comparable offerings along the Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies a different market position from the new-build projects listed for comparison. 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, but these are off-plan 'from' prices in locations further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core. Nueva Andalucía commands a structural price premium because of its position between the marina, approximately 1 km away, and the concentration of golf courses within 3 km. The premium buys location maturity rather than construction age: this building dates from 2003, while the comparables deliver current building standards in exchange for construction waiting time and delivery risk. Buyers weighing these options are effectively choosing between a completed, partially renovated resale home in a prime established district and a new-build unit at a lower entry price elsewhere on the coast. Within Nueva Andalucía itself, the local resale market is active, 4,743 housing transactions per year are recorded in the area, which supports liquidity for future resale. The presence of 52 hotels and 12,781 beds underlines the tourism intensity of the surroundings, relevant both for rental demand and for seasonal crowding. Median provincial income of €16,450 per household indicates that local purchasing power diverges sharply from the international buyer segment active in this district. For buyers focused on the Marbella area specifically, alternatives within the same price band typically involve older apartments closer to the coast or newer properties further inland; the combination of a 2023 partial renovation, a rental licence and a parking space in a gated community defines this listing's particular position.
