This key-ready apartment is situated in the Aloha area of Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2003 and since fully refurbished, the corner unit offers 112 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The asking price is €575,000, fixed, and includes an underground parking space and a storage room. The property features an oversized terrace overlooking tropical gardens and a communal pool, with hot and cold air conditioning throughout. The Aloha Strip with restaurants, cafés and shops is within a ten-minute walk, and Puerto Banús is a five-minute drive away.
Within the central Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a distinct position between the golf courses of the so-called Golf Valley and the marina of Puerto Banús. Compared with new-build alternatives further along the coast, this apartment trades modern construction for location and completeness. Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts from €524,600 and Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000; both offer new construction but sit considerably further from Marbella and Puerto Banús, which lengthens every trip to the area's main leisure and dining hub. Alba Benalmadena starts from €648,000 and lies east of Málaga's airport corridor, a different market with a more high-rise, resort-town character. At a fixed €575,000 including parking and storage, this resale property is priced in the same bracket as entry-level new builds while delivering a larger terrace, a walkable amenities zone and immediate delivery, without the staged payment plans or waiting periods associated with off-plan purchases. The local market context is active, with roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year in the surrounding area, supported by a tourism base of 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds, which underpins seasonal rental demand. The offset to weigh is the 2003 construction date: insulation values and common-area standards predate current building codes, whereas the new-build comparables offer contemporary energy performance and developer warranties. Buyers comparing the two options are effectively balancing immediate, established location against newer construction further from the Marbella core. Median provincial income of €16,450 also indicates that this price segment sits well above the local domestic market, meaning resale demand will continue to come mainly from international buyers, as it does across most of Nueva Andalucía.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in the Aloha district of Nueva Andalucía, a residential urbanisation between Marbella town (7 km straight-line) and Puerto Banús marina (1 km straight-line). The setting combines proximity to golf courses, the marina and everyday amenities. Within two kilometres there are numerous restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks, which keeps daily errands walkable for most residents.
The home functions as a full-time residence, a lock-up-and-leave holiday property or a rental investment. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a large covered terrace accommodate family use. Underground parking, a storage room and a lift simplify arrival, departure and seasonal storage. Furniture is available as an optional purchase.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 2003 and subsequently refurbished, delivered key-ready. Both bathrooms have been renewed and the interior updated. There is no construction phase or staged delivery to take into account; the property can be occupied directly after purchase. Any completion or transfer dates stated are indicative and depend on the transaction process.
The property is an apartment within a shared development, not a detached villa; outdoor space is limited to the private terrace, and the pool and gardens are communal. There is no private garden or private pool. The building dates from 2003, so construction standards reflect that period rather than current new-build regulations. Furniture is sold separately. No information is available on sea views from the unit.
The property suits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Marbella area benefits from three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, proximity to international schools and a walkable amenities zone. Buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday home gain from the secure development with communal pool, underground parking and a five-minute drive to the beaches and beach clubs near Puerto Banús. Investors can let the apartment long-term or seasonally, supported by the area's tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels and strong rental demand west of Marbella. Golf-oriented buyers find three courses within roughly three kilometres, including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. Retirees wanting a manageable, single-level home with a lift, flat surroundings and health centres within the district will also find the configuration practical. The property is less suitable for buyers who want a private pool, a private garden or a frontline beach position, since the outdoor space is a terrace and the coast is 2.6 km away as the crow flies. Those wanting a modern new-build with current energy regulations should note the 2003 construction date. For anyone prioritising walkability, space, light and proximity to both golf and marina, the configuration is worth considering.
The apartment has been fully refurbished, with both bathrooms renewed in a neutral, contemporary design; one bathroom includes a bathtub and a double sink unit. As a corner unit it receives natural light from multiple orientations through extra windows, which reduces reliance on artificial lighting during the day. All windows and doors are fitted with shutters, a practical feature for temperature control and absence security in a holiday market. Hot and cold air conditioning is installed throughout, and a feature fireplace in the sitting room provides supplementary heating for cooler winter evenings, when average monthly temperatures drop to around 12°C. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and one bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom, which is relatively uncommon in apartments of this size in older developments. The covered terrace extends the usable living area across most of the year and is directly accessible from the main living space. Connectivity is supported by WiFi infrastructure. The building itself dates from 2003, so the structural shell, insulation values and common areas follow the standards of that period rather than current technical building codes; the refurbishment applies to interior finishes and installations rather than the building envelope. Practical ownership costs associated with the development, such as community fees for the pool and gardens, apply in addition to the purchase price and should be verified during due diligence.
The asking price is a fixed €575,000 for the apartment as an existing, key-ready home. Included in this price are an underground parking space and a storage room, which are separate cost items in many comparable developments. Furniture is optional and negotiable outside the stated price. Within the wider region, comparable new-build projects such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona start from €524,600 and Alba Benalmadena from €648,000, which places this refurbished 2003 apartment in the mid-segment for a three-bedroom home near Puerto Banús. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position and the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around the Aloha Strip, reachable on foot in under ten minutes, where restaurants, cafés, bars and everyday shops are concentrated. Because the area is flat and urbanised, errands such as supermarket visits or a coffee stop do not require a car. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies, so a short drive or a longer walk and cycle ride connects the home to the coastline. The nearest golf facility, The Range golf lessons, is 1.9 km away, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km, which places the property in the heart of the Golf Valley. The corner position brings additional windows and natural light into the living spaces, and the terrace, larger than most within the development, works as an outdoor dining and sitting room overlooking the tropical gardens and communal pool. Mornings can start on the terrace before walking to breakfast, and evenings often end in one of the nearby restaurants. Puerto Banús, one kilometre as the crow flies, adds marina-side dining, beach clubs and people-watching within a five-minute drive. For families, the British International School lies 3.8 km away, and Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km) provides municipal sports facilities. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood stays residential and quieter, as most amenities serve year-round residents as well as visitors.
The immediate surroundings are dense with amenities: within two kilometres there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which covers nearly all daily needs without leaving the neighbourhood. Education is well represented, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, and five health centres serve the district for routine medical care. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies one kilometre away as the crow flies and functions as the social and nautical hub of the area, with the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 1.2 km offering a short evening walk destination. Sports facilities are varied: Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km, a climbing wall (Rocodromo) at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. Public transport consists of 10 lines with 50 stops in the area, giving car-free residents a workable, if limited, alternative to driving. For electric vehicle owners, the Marbella Supercharger is 2.3 km away. The terrain is essentially flat, with a gradient to the beach of only 0.2%, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport for most of the year. Marbella town centre, with its old quarter and full urban services, lies 7 km away as the crow flies, close enough for regular visits without living in the tourist core.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía sits immediately west of Marbella (7 km) and east of Estepona, forming part of the central Costa del Sol. Its position between the Golf Valley courses and Puerto Banús gives it a residential character with resort-level amenities. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 54 km away as the crow flies and provides the main transport gateway via its airport. The housing market in the surrounding area records roughly 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid market. Algeciras, 59 km away, connects the region to the Strait of Gibraltar.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 2.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km; by car these are short trips of a few minutes. Puerto Banús marina is one kilometre straight-line and, per the seller's indication, roughly a five-minute drive. Golf access is strong: The Range at 1.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km, all in direct distance. Regional connections are favourable: Marbella is 7 km away, Málaga city and its airport zone 54 and 45 km respectively as the crow flies, while Gibraltar airport is 52 km away, giving a choice of two airports within an hour. Note that straight-line distances understate actual road distances, and the A-7 coastal motorway is the main artery for these routes. A car remains the most practical mode of transport; the bus network of 10 lines provides a supplement rather than a full replacement.

The climate is one of the main assets of the location. The average annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, which means outdoor living on the terrace is feasible for most of the year. The swimming season lasts six months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C, extending beach use well beyond the peak summer weeks. The elevation is 10 metres above sea level and the terrain is flat, with a 0.2% gradient towards the coast, so there are no challenging hills between the apartment and the beach. The subtropical gardens within the development add green surroundings, while the Sierra Bermeja and coastal mountain backdrop further inland shapes the horizon. Sunshine hours on this stretch of the Costa del Sol are among the highest in Spain, supporting both the golf season and the outdoor restaurant culture of the Aloha Strip throughout the year.

Beach life is concentrated around three sandy options 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 in straight-line distance. The nearby beach clubs between Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús are a defining feature of the local leisure scene. Golf is the second pillar of recreation, with three courses within about three kilometres, including the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, positioning the home centrally in what is commonly called the Golf Valley. Waterfront recreation extends to Puerto Deportivo José Banús at one kilometre, with additional marinas at Marbella (5.3 km and 6.7 km). For land-based sport, Polideportivo San Pedro offers municipal facilities at 2.9 km, alongside climbing and CrossFit venues slightly further out. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 1.2 km provides a scenic walking destination close to home.
