This two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner penthouse forms part of the Lorcrimar V community in Nueva Andalucía, on the western side of Marbella. Built in 2003 and now key-ready, the property offers 102 square metres of living space plus a large L-shaped terrace with a south-west orientation, overlooking the communal pools and gardens with a partial sea view. The fixed asking price is €549,000. Puerto Banús lies about one kilometre away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach is roughly 2.6 kilometres straight-line. Holiday rentals are permitted within the community, which adds a rental dimension to ownership.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella town centre, roughly 7 kilometres straight-line, and the marina of Puerto Banús at about 1 kilometre. The area combines residential calm with proximity to the port's restaurants, shops and nightlife. Golf courses such as Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf lie within 2 to 3 kilometres, while the beach is about 2.6 kilometres away as the crow flies.
The penthouse suits households seeking two bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous outdoor space. The L-shaped terrace includes a glazed section usable year-round, and the corner position on the top floor brings natural light from the south-west. Practical features include air conditioning (hot and cold), electric blinds, fitted wardrobes, marble flooring, a separate utility room and one allocated parking space.
This is an existing home, completed in 2003 and described as being in good condition. No construction phase or delivery risk applies; the property is key-ready, so a purchase can proceed at the buyer's own pace. Completion dates for any community works, if contemplated, would be indicative only. As a resale property, the technical state reflects its age, and an independent survey remains a normal part of due diligence.
The property offers two bedrooms and 102 square metres of living area, which limits space for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are the two communal pools within the gated complex. One allocated parking space is included, with no second space mentioned. The building dates from 2003, and no recent renovation of the entire unit is recorded in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home with afternoon sun and year-round terrace use will find the south-west orientation and glazed section directly relevant. Buyers who want walkable access to restaurants and the marina, with 69 restaurants within two kilometres and Puerto Banús at about one kilometre straight-line, benefit from a location where a car is optional for leisure, even though one parking space is included. Owners planning to generate rental income during absences will note that holiday rentals are permitted in the community, an explicit rule that is not universal in Marbella. Golf players value courses such as Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 kilometres and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 kilometres, all within a short drive. The property is less self-evident for households needing three or more bedrooms or substantial interior space, given the 102 square metre footprint. Buyers seeking a brand-new building with modern energy performance should also consider that this apartment dates from 2003. For year-round residents, the area's services, 5 health centres, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, plus an international school at 3.8 kilometres, support permanent living, not only seasonal stays.
The apartment was completed in 2003 and is presented in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and electric blinds. Climate control consists of hot and cold air conditioning, allowing year-round temperature regulation, which matters during Andalusian summers when average monthly temperatures reach 26°C. The kitchen is fully equipped, and a separate utility room keeps laundry appliances out of the living spaces. The terrace is the property's most distinctive element: L-shaped, generous in size and partly enclosed by glass curtains, creating an additional room-like space usable in every season. A lift serves the building, and one private parking space is allocated to the apartment. As a corner unit on the top floor, the penthouse receives light from multiple sides and benefits from a reduced number of direct neighbours. Buyers should apply normal due diligence for a 2003 building: an independent technical survey can verify the state of installations, waterproofing and community-maintained elements such as the pools and gardens. The community is gated, which adds a level of access control, and the tropical gardens are landscaped and maintained collectively. No specific energy-performance figures are stated in the available data, so buyers relying on low running costs should request the relevant documentation during the process.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €549,000 as an existing, key-ready home. The price reflects a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 102 square metres with a large terrace, communal pools, sea views and an allocated parking space in the Lorcrimar V community. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, start lower, but those locations differ considerably from Nueva Andalucía in terms of proximity to Puerto Banús and Marbella. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's confirmation.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around its top-floor corner position and the L-shaped terrace. With a south-west orientation, the outdoor space catches afternoon and evening sun, and the glazed curtain section allows part of the terrace to be used during cooler or windier months. Views extend across the communal pool, the tropical gardens and, partially, the sea. Inside, the layout offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a separate utility area, a practical arrangement for a couple, a small family or owners who host guests. The community itself is gated, with two swimming pools and landscaped gardens, which shapes the residential character: quiet, low-rise surroundings rather than a hotel-style resort. The rhythm of the area follows the seasons. Nueva Andalucía is residential in character, with the buzz of Puerto Banús about a kilometre away as the crow flies, close enough for an evening walk to the marina, far enough to avoid its constant activity. Within two kilometres there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies and 4 banks, so most daily needs are covered without a long drive. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, sits 2.6 kilometres straight-line away, reachable on foot or by a short drive; the terrain is essentially flat, with a gradient of just 0.2 per cent. Padel facilities are close by, and several golf courses lie within a few kilometres. With holiday rentals permitted in the community, owners can also alternate between personal use and rental income, which influences how the property is used across the year.
Nueva Andalucía functions as a residential district of Marbella with a dense service layer. Within a two-kilometre radius, residents have access to 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which makes daily errands short and practical. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina at the heart of Puerto Banús, lies about one kilometre straight-line away, an easy walk along the local streets. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 2.6 kilometres away as the crow flies, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 kilometres and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 kilometres. The terrain towards the coast is flat, with a gradient of 0.2 per cent, so walking and cycling are realistic options. Sports facilities are well represented: Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 kilometres, a climbing wall (Rocodromo) at 3.6 kilometres and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 kilometres. For views and evening walks, Mirador del Muelle de Honor sits 1.2 kilometres away. Public transport covers the area with 10 lines and 50 stops, which is substantial for a district of this size and reduces car dependency. Tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels with 12,781 beds, means the area is busier in high summer and quieter outside the season, a rhythm residents come to know.
The map shows the penthouse's position in Nueva Andalucía, just north of Puerto Banús and its marina, with Marbella centre 7 kilometres east. Beaches, golf courses, schools and transport stops are marked with their straight-line distances; actual travel distances by road may be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies a strong position on the Costa del Sol: immediately west of Marbella town (7 km straight-line), adjoining Puerto Banús (1 km), and roughly equidistant between Málaga (54 km) and Algeciras (59 km). Málaga Airport lies about 45 kilometres straight-line, and Gibraltar about 52 kilometres, giving access to two airports. The district's residential character, combined with its golf courses and marina proximity, places it among the more established addresses between Marbella and Estepona. Housing activity in the area is substantial, with 4,743 transactions per year recorded in the surrounding market.
By car, Marbella town centre lies 7 kilometres straight-line, Málaga city 54 kilometres and its airport (AGP) roughly 45 kilometres as the crow flies, actual road distances are longer. Gibraltar Airport is about 52 kilometres straight-line to the south-west. An EV charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, is 2.3 kilometres away. The nearest beach is 2.6 kilometres straight-line, and the flat 0.2 per cent gradient makes the route straightforward on foot or by bicycle. Golf courses cluster nearby: The Range golf lessons at 1.9 kilometres, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 kilometres and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 kilometres. Schools include the British International School at 3.8 kilometres and The International School of Estepona at 7.9 kilometres. Public transport, 10 lines and 50 stops, connects the district to Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara and surrounding towns, so a car is convenient rather than strictly necessary for local trips.

The climate data indicates an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This pattern supports outdoor living for most of the year, which aligns directly with the penthouse's terrace-centred layout. The swimming season lasts about six months, with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, typically from late spring into autumn. The elevation is 10 metres above sea level, and the terrain towards the beach is essentially flat at a 0.2 per cent gradient, so no notable hills separate the property from the coast. The south-west orientation of the terrace means exposure to afternoon and evening sun, warm in summer and welcome in winter, though direct midday heat in July and August will make the glazed terrace section and air conditioning useful. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, in line with the Mediterranean pattern, leaving long dry stretches for outdoor use. The nearby gardens and golf courses add greenery to the immediate surroundings.

Three beaches lie within walking or short driving distance: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 2.6 kilometres straight-line, Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 kilometres and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 kilometres. The flat terrain makes these distances feel shorter in practice. For boating and waterfront leisure, Puerto Deportivo José Banus is about one kilometre away, with two further marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen in Marbella at 5.3 kilometres and Marina la Bajadilla at 6.7 kilometres, offering additional options. Golf is a defining feature of Nueva Andalucía, known locally as the Golf Valley: The Range golf lessons at 1.9 kilometres, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 kilometres and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 kilometres give players several courses within minutes. Padel facilities are close to the community, and broader sports provision includes Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), Rocodromo (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). With a six-month swimming season and the two communal pools in the complex, water-based recreation is available both on the coast and at home.

Within the Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a distinctive middle position: more residential and golf-oriented than Puerto Banús itself, yet closer to the marina than almost any other established district of Marbella. The available comparable projects are all new-build developments further along the coast and at lower entry prices. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those price points reflect different locations rather than equivalent floor plans: Torre del Mar and Mijas sit east and north-east of Málaga city, and Estepona lies west of Marbella, all with longer distances to the Puerto Banús and Marbella centre than this penthouse enjoys. At €549,000 fixed, this property commands a premium tied to its address, a kilometre from the marina as the crow flies, within the so-called Golf Valley, and in a mature, gated community with established gardens and pools. Against new builds, an existing 2003 apartment trades modern specifications and developer warranties for immediacy: there is no waiting period, and the community's character and rules, including permission for holiday rentals, are already observable rather than prospective. Buyers comparing options should weigh the 102 m² interior, which is modest for the price point, against the location value and the generous terrace space. Transaction volume in the wider area, 4,743 sales per year, indicates a liquid market with regular resale activity, which matters for future flexibility. Median provincial income of €16,450 per year shows that this segment of the coast operates in a different economic bracket from the provincial average, driven substantially by international buyers and tourism.
