Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Nueva Andalucía, roughly 7 km as the crow flies from Marbella centre and about 1 km from Puerto Deportivo José Banús. Minimarkets and a padel club are within a minute's walk. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, sits 2.6 km away in a straight line, with several golf courses within 2-3 km.
The home offers a practical layout for two-person or small-family use: two bedrooms, two bathrooms including an en-suite, a fitted kitchen and a living area opening onto the terrace. The south orientation supports outdoor use for most of the day, while air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, a lift and a covered parking space cover daily practical needs.
This concerns an existing home, not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2003 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Delivery dates for existing properties are tied to the completion of the sales process rather than a construction schedule.
The property has two bedrooms and 100 m² of living area, which limits space for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The building dates from 2003, so installations are older than in new developments. No private garden is included; outdoor space consists of the terrace and shared grounds.

This property suits buyers seeking a second home or holiday residence on the Costa del Sol with immediate usability. As a key-ready apartment, it avoids construction timelines and off-plan risk, which appeals to buyers who want to use or rent the home within the current season. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration works for couples, small families or owners who regularly host guests, with the en-suite providing privacy in the principal bedroom. Buyers prioritising outdoor space will find the large south-facing terrace a central feature; it is larger relative to the interior than in many comparable apartments. The location fits a pattern of life based on walking: shops, padel, restaurants and Puerto Banús are reachable on foot. It is less suited to households needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a private garden, as none of these are present. Buyers comparing new-build alternatives should weigh the 2003 construction date against newer stock, taking into account that older buildings in this area often offer more established gardens and larger communal grounds than recent developments. For investors, the combination of year-round residential demand in Nueva Andalucía, proximity to Puerto Banús and direct habitability may support rental use, subject to local regulations.
The interior is finished with marble flooring throughout, which is consistent with the construction period and typical of mid-market Marbella apartments built around 2003. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold functions, covering climate control across seasons. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and the kitchen is fully fitted. The property is described as being in good condition, indicating that no immediate renovation works are expected, though buyers should verify the age and service history of installations such as the air conditioning units, hot water system and electrical wiring through a technical survey during the purchase process. The building includes a lift, which removes stair access as a barrier. A covered parking space is included, protecting the vehicle from sun and rain. The terrace is partially covered, allowing use during strong sun and light rain. Interior features such as WiFi readiness support extended stays and remote work. Compared with new-build projects in the region, the specification level reflects its age: buyers will find traditional materials and layouts rather than contemporary open-plan designs or the latest energy-efficiency standards. The communal grounds are maintained to a good standard, with mature palm trees and landscaped gardens that are only possible in older complexes where planting has had decades to establish.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €470,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build development, so the price relates to a completed property with a 2003 construction date, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 100 m² of living area. The price includes a covered parking space within the community. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process and any current occupancy. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start from roughly €205,000 to €321,000, though those figures relate to different locations and product types.
Daily life at this address revolves around a combination of outdoor living and walkable amenities. The apartment's south-facing terrace, accessible from both bedrooms, the kitchen and the living room, functions as an extension of the interior. Morning sun lasts through the afternoon, which makes the terrace usable for breakfast, outdoor dining and evening seating for most of the year given the regional average of around 19.2°C annually. The residential complex contains two free-form swimming pools and mature tropical gardens, so outdoor recreation is available without leaving the grounds. The immediate surroundings are residential and low-rise, with minimarkets and a padel club about a minute's walk away. Puerto Banús, with its marina, restaurants and boutiques, is roughly a 15-minute walk, which places nightlife, dining and the beach within reach on foot. Outside the summer season the neighbourhood remains active year-round, as Nueva Andalucía is a permanent residential area rather than a seasonal resort zone. The local density of services is high: 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks and 3 pharmacies within 2 km. Ten public transport lines with 50 stops serve the wider area, which reduces dependence on a car for routine trips, although a vehicle remains convenient for golf, Marbella centre and airport transfers.
The immediate environment is a consolidated residential neighbourhood with a high density of daily amenities. Within 2 km there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, so routine errands do not require travel. Five health centres serve the wider area, and educational provision includes 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international options such as the British International School 3.8 km away as the crow flies. Sports facilities include the Real Club de Pádel next to the complex, Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km, and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. Golf is a defining feature of the area: The Range lies 1.9 km away, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf 3.1 km, all straight-line distances. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 1.0 km away, giving direct access to the marina's dining and leisure offer.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies a position between Marbella centre (7 km straight-line) and Estepona further west, immediately inland of Puerto Banús. This places the apartment in one of the Costa del Sol's most established residential zones, known locally as the Golf Valley for the cluster of courses around it. Málaga, the regional capital with 579,076 inhabitants, is 54 km away, while Algeciras lies 59 km to the southwest. The area records around 4,743 housing transactions per year, reflecting an active and liquid local market. Median provincial income of €16,450 provides context for regional purchasing power.
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; the existing description notes the beach and Puerto Banús are around a 15-minute walk, and actual road distances may be longer than straight-line figures. Marbella centre is 7 km straight-line from the area, while Málaga city lies 54 km away. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km in a straight line, and Gibraltar Airport (GIB) roughly 52 km, giving a choice of two airports within an hour's drive. Road access runs via the A-7 coastal motorway, which connects the whole Costa del Sol. A covered parking space is included with the apartment. For households without a car, the 10 bus lines and 50 stops provide a workable baseline for local travel.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment represents a mid-to-upper price point for a two-bedroom resale property. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start lower: Aquamar in Torre del Mar lists from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those developments, however, are located further from Marbella and Puerto Banús, in areas with different demand profiles and rental dynamics. The price difference largely reflects location rather than floor area or specification: Nueva Andalucía sits adjacent to Puerto Banús and within the Golf Valley, where resale values are supported by year-round international demand and limited new construction land. Buyers weighing this apartment against new-build alternatives should consider three factors. First, timing: a key-ready 2003 apartment can be occupied immediately, whereas new developments carry construction schedules and phased delivery. Second, specification: newer projects generally offer modern energy performance and contemporary layouts, while this property provides traditional materials, established communal gardens and a larger relative terrace. Third, location premium: the same budget buys more square metres in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona, but those towns lie 45 minutes or more by car from Puerto Banús. Market activity in the area, roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year, indicates a liquid resale market, which matters for future flexibility. Buyers focused on walkability to marina amenities and golf will find few new-build alternatives in this specific micro-location, which explains the pricing of established complexes such as this one.
