This renovated ground-floor apartment is situated in the gated community of Aldea Blanca in lower Nueva Andalucía, within the municipality of Marbella. The property offers 126 m² of living space with three bedrooms, one of which is a flexible room with terrace access, and two bathrooms. The asking price is fixed at €895,000. The home is key-ready and was originally built in 1970, with a full modern renovation since completed. Puerto Banús lies about one kilometre away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach at roughly 2.6 km. Features include a west-facing terrace, aerothermal system, Airzone climate control and Ethernet connections throughout.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in lower Nueva Andalucía, a residential area between Marbella centre (7 km straight-line) and Puerto Banús marina (approximately 1 km). The area is flat, at 10 m elevation, with a gradient of 0.2% toward the coast. Everyday amenities are concentrated within 2 km, including 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies and 4 banks.
The layout serves both permanent and holiday use. A bright living-dining room connects through large doors to a west-facing terrace, extending the living space outdoors. The open-plan kitchen is fully renovated with modern appliances and a direct laundry/storage room. Both main bedrooms sit along a separate hallway for privacy from the living area.
This is not new construction. The building dates from 1970 and the apartment has since undergone a complete renovation. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Technical updates include an aerothermal system, Airzone per-room climate control, double glazing and fibre-optic connectivity with Ethernet points in every room.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are four communal pool areas shared within the community. There is no private garden, the west-facing terrace is the principal outdoor space. Parking is an open area directly in front of the apartment rather than a closed garage. The building's 1970 construction date means the structural fabric predates modern building codes, although systems have been renewed.

This apartment fits several recognisable situations. For a couple or small family seeking a permanent home on one level, the ground-floor layout, separate bedroom hallway and flexible third room provide a workable structure, while the surrounding amenities, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, plus the British International School at 3.8 km, cover educational needs. For buyers wanting a holiday base, the walking distance to Centro Plaza and Puerto Banús, four communal pools and 24-hour security reduce the practical burden of part-time occupancy. For remote workers, Ethernet connections in every room and fibre-optic infrastructure make a home office setup straightforward, and the third room is dimensioned as a plausible office. The property also suits buyers who prioritise renovated technical systems over new-build finishes: the aerothermal hot water and heating, per-room Airzone control and double glazing are concrete energy-related upgrades in a 1970 building. It is less suited to buyers requiring a private pool, a private garden or enclosed garage parking, since none of these form part of the property. Equally, buyers seeking sea views or an upper-floor vantage point should note this is a ground-floor unit with garden-facing outlooks rather than panoramic views.
The apartment has been fully renovated, and the available data specifies which systems have been renewed. The kitchen is open-plan and fitted with modern appliances; the listing does not name brands or worktop materials, so buyers should verify finishes during a viewing. The heating and hot-water provision runs on an aerothermal system, which extracts heat from ambient air and typically reduces energy consumption relative to older electric or gas systems. Climate control is managed through an Airzone installation, allowing individual temperature settings per room, a practical difference from single-thermostat air conditioning, particularly when bedrooms and living areas are used at different times of day. Double glazing is fitted throughout, improving both thermal insulation and acoustic separation. Connectivity is addressed with fibre optic access and Ethernet connections in every room, which is a considered choice for households with home-office requirements. A fireplace remains in the living room, offering supplementary heating and a visual focal point. The laundry/storage room accessible from the kitchen adds functional storage that many apartments of this age lack. The structural context matters: the building originates from 1970, so while interior systems and finishes have been modernised, buyers should assess the building's common fabric, community maintenance standards and any planned works through the community administration. The community's external areas, gardens, four pool areas and Andalusian-style architecture, are described as well maintained, though verification of community finances and upcoming levies forms part of standard due diligence.
The asking price is fixed at €895,000 for this existing, key-ready apartment. This is not a price-list project; the figure applies to this specific property. At 126 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the price reflects the renovated condition, the technical installations (aerothermal, Airzone, double glazing, fibre optic) and the position within a secured gated community near Puerto Banús. Buyers should additionally budget for purchase costs in Spain, transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and for annual community fees for the upkeep of the gardens, pools and security services, for which no figures are provided in the available data. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position.
Daily life here revolves around a single-level ground-floor layout in an established, gated community. Mornings can begin on the west-facing terrace, which receives afternoon and evening sun; the indoor living-dining room flows directly onto it through large doors, so the terrace functions as an extension of the interior. The open-plan kitchen, with modern appliances and direct access to a laundry and storage room, supports practical everyday routines. The two main bedrooms sit along a separate hallway, separated from the living zone, which reduces noise transfer between day and night areas. A third room with a sliding door and terrace access can serve as a bedroom, office or second lounge, allowing the layout to adapt as household needs change. The community itself is large and landscaped, with four communal swimming pool areas distributed across the grounds, mature gardens in traditional Andalusian style, and 24-hour security with concierge services. Centro Plaza and Puerto Banús are described as within walking distance, along with restaurants, cafés and shops, meaning most daily errands can be done on foot. Parking directly in front of the apartment simplifies loading and unloading. The flat terrain between the property and the coast, a 0.2% gradient, makes walking and cycling realistic options, although the beach at 2.6 km straight-line is more comfortable by car or bicycle than on foot for most people. Out of season, the area remains residential rather than resort-like, with a substantial permanent population in the wider Nueva Andalucía district.
Nueva Andalucía sits immediately inland of Puerto Banús, and this apartment occupies its lower, most accessible edge. The marina of Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies about 1 km away as the crow flies, and Centro Plaza is described as within walking distance, giving day-to-day access to shops, cafés and restaurants without a car. The amenities data confirms this density: 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist all fall within a 2 km radius. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area. For sport, Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), Rocodromo (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km) offer indoor and specialist facilities, while golfers have The Range at 1.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. Marbella centre, 7 km straight-line with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, provides the full urban layer: hospitals, larger retail and cultural amenities. Public transport is comparatively strong for the Costa del Sol, with 10 lines and 50 stops in the area, making car-free living feasible for part of the week, though a car remains useful for beach trips and airport transfers.
The map shows the apartment's position in lower Nueva Andalucía, with Puerto Banús marina roughly 1 km to the south and the beaches beyond. Marbella centre lies 7 km east; the golf courses of the Golf Valley cluster to the north and west. All distances shown are straight-line.

Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella (7 km) and Estepona further west, forming part of Marbella's municipality. Its position directly behind Puerto Banús places it closer to the marina than almost any other residential district, while retaining a lower-density, garden-centred character. Málaga city and its airport lie 54 km and 45 km straight-line respectively to the east, and Algeciras 59 km to the west. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the area is one of the better-connected residential zones, combining marina proximity, golf concentration and flat terrain.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 2.6 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km, all reachable in a short drive given the flat terrain. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km straight-line, a drive of roughly 40-50 minutes under normal conditions; Gibraltar airport (GIB) at 52 km straight-line is an alternative for certain routes. Marbella is 7 km away and Málaga city 54 km as the crow flies, so road distances will be somewhat longer. Puerto Banús marina at 1 km functions as the local leisure hub. Electric-vehicle drivers can use the Marbella Supercharger at 2.3 km. Public transport, 10 lines and 50 stops, covers the local area, and the flat topography with a 0.2% gradient toward the coast makes cycling a realistic mode for shorter trips.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, the classic Costa del Sol pattern of mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season extends to about six months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, roughly May through October. The elevation of just 10 m above sea level and the near-flat gradient make the area comfortable for walking year-round, without the stairs and slopes characteristic of some hillside developments. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, keeping the summer dry and predictable. For residents, this translates into outdoor use of the west-facing terrace for most of the year: warm afternoons and evenings align with the terrace orientation. The nearby Mirador del Muelle de Honor (1.2 km) offers a coastal viewpoint for walks, and the mature gardens within the community add green surroundings at doorstep level.

Three beaches lie within 3.5 km straight-line: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.6 km), Playa de Nagüeles (2.7 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km), all along the Marbella coastal strip. Puerto Banús, 1 km away, provides marina-based recreation, dining and nightlife. Golf is a defining feature of Nueva Andalucía, often called the Golf Valley, with The Range (1.9 km) for practice, and the established courses of Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.3 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km) nearby. Indoor and fitness sport is available at Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km), with climbing at Rocodromo (3.6 km). Within the community, four communal pool areas cover swimming without leaving the grounds. Tourism infrastructure in the area, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, indicates the seasonal peak in summer, when beaches and Puerto Banús are busiest; outside high season the recreational facilities remain open but considerably quieter.

At a fixed asking price of €895,000, this apartment sits at a clearly different level from the new-build comparison projects in the data: Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). Those projects offer new construction in eastern and western Costa del Sol towns, where land values and purchase prices are substantially lower. This property's price reflects its location rather than its age: lower Nueva Andalucía, within a kilometre of Puerto Banús, is one of the most established and liquid residential markets on the coast. The area records roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, relevant for buyers who want the option to sell later without waiting for a new-build development to mature. The median provincial income of €16,450 per year contextualises the price level: this is an affluent micro-market within Málaga province, driven by international demand rather than local incomes. Compared with new-build alternatives, the trade-off is explicit. Buyers get a 1970 building with renovated systems, aerothermal, Airzone, double glazing, rather than current-code construction, but in exchange they gain immediate occupancy, a mature community with full-grown gardens, 24-hour security already in operation, and a location that new developments closer to the water can rarely match. Buyers comparing options should also weigh community fees, which fund the extensive shared facilities here, against the lower running costs typical of smaller new-build developments elsewhere on the coast.
