This duplex penthouse is located in La Maestranza, in the Nueva Andalucía district of Marbella, roughly 7 km from Marbella town centre as the crow flies. The property is a refurbished corner apartment completed in 2003, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 100 m² of living space, with a wraparound terrace orientated to the north, east and south and views towards La Concha mountain. The asking price is fixed at €695,000. The home is key-ready and sits within an established urbanisation with a communal heated pool, air conditioning and an ensuite bathroom in the principal bedroom.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in La Maestranza, a residential pocket of Nueva Andalucía about 1 km from Puerto Deportivo José Banús as the crow flies. Golf courses sit within 2 to 3 km, the nearest beach roughly 2.6 km away. Shops, restaurants and schools are all listed as close by, and Marbella centre lies some 7 km distant, making the setting a mix of residential calm and resort-level amenities.
The home functions as a full-year residence or a second home. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite, suit small families or couples with regular guests. The wraparound terrace with north, east and south orientation provides sun exposure across most of the day, while fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and a private terrace cover core daily needs.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 2003 and the apartment has since been refurbished and is described as being in excellent condition with a Scandinavian-style interior. Construction status is key-ready, which means the buyer can complete purchase and move in without waiting for works, subject to the usual notarial process.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking listed in its features; pool access is communal and heated. Living space measures 100 m², which is compact for a 3-bedroom duplex penthouse. There is no mention of a lift, storage room or sea frontage, and the building dates from 2003, so construction standards are of that period.
This property fits a buyer who wants a move-in-ready home in central Nueva Andalucía without managing a renovation or waiting for an off-plan delivery. The key-ready status and refurbished interior allow occupation shortly after completion of the purchase, which suits buyers relocating on a schedule or those purchasing a second home for the coming season. The 3/2 layout with an ensuite bathroom works for a couple with a child or regular guests, or for owners who want two spare rooms for visiting family. It is less suited to buyers needing four or more bedrooms or extensive interior space: at 100 m², the home is efficient rather than expansive, with the terrace doing much of the work as additional living area. The location profile matches a golf- and marina-oriented lifestyle. Buyers who plan to play at Las Brisas, Magna Marbella or the nearby driving range, and who value being walking or cycling distance from Puerto Banús, will find the address practical. Buyers seeking seclusion, a private garden or a frontline beach position should look elsewhere, as the property is urban, communal in its pool provision and roughly 2.6 km from the sea. Finally, the flat terrain and the density of amenities, 50 public transport stops across 10 lines within reach, make this a plausible option for households that prefer not to depend entirely on a car, unusual for this stretch of the Costa del Sol.
The apartment has been refurbished in a Scandinavian style, which in practical terms typically means light-toned materials, clean-lined joinery and a restrained colour palette. The listing describes an open-plan layout, connecting kitchen, dining and living areas into a single space that opens onto the wraparound terrace. The interior photographs show a modern bedroom with a grey bed and accent textiles, consistent with the stated design direction. Technical provision includes air conditioning for climate control and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, both of which matter for year-round occupation given local summer temperatures that reach an average of 26°C in the warmest month. The principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, giving the main suite independence from the family bathroom. The building itself dates from 2003, so the structural base is of that construction period; the refurbishment applies to the interior. Buyers should distinguish between the two layers when assessing value: the finishes are recent, while common elements, glazing, insulation standards and building services reflect early-2000s regulations. An independent survey can clarify which components have been updated. Outdoor space is a defining feature. The private, wraparound terrace wraps the corner apartment on three orientations, north, east and south, providing morning sun, midday and afternoon exposure, and a shaded option at the height of summer. The photographs show a rooftop-terrace arrangement with outdoor dining and lounge seating oriented towards the mountains, so the terrace functions as an exterior living and dining room for much of the year rather than a seasonal balcony.
The asking price is fixed at €695,000. This is an existing, key-ready resale property, so there is no price list or range of unit types; the price applies to this specific apartment with its 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 100 m² of living space and wraparound terrace. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should verify community fees and annual municipal taxes (IBI) with the vendor's documents, as these figures are not included in the available data. The property's condition, refurbished, described as excellent, means no renovation budget is factored in, though buyers may wish to commission an independent technical survey given the 2003 construction date.
Daily life at this address is shaped by its position between two worlds: the residential streets of La Maestranza and the leisure infrastructure around Puerto Banús, roughly a kilometre away as the crow flies. Mornings can begin on the east-facing section of the terrace, with the sun rising over the urbanisation, while the south and north faces allow the resident to follow or avoid the sun throughout the day. The open-plan living area connects directly to the terrace, so the 100 m² interior reads larger when the doors are open. The district supports a full daily routine without long journeys. Within 2 km there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which means groceries, errands and coffee runs are all handled on foot or by a short drive. The communal heated pool extends the swimming season beyond the summer months, relevant given that sea temperatures support roughly six months of comfortable swimming. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 2.6 km away in a straight line over flat terrain, a gradient of just 0.2%, so cycling is realistic. Golf is the other anchor of the area: The Range golf lessons sit 1.9 km away, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf 3.1 km. In practice, a resident can structure the week around morning golf, afternoons on the terrace and evenings in Puerto Banús or along the restaurants of Nueva Andalucía, all within a radius of a few kilometres.
Nueva Andalucía is one of the most amenity-dense residential areas between Marbella and Estepona. Within a 2 km radius of the property, the data lists 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, a level of daily provision that makes car-free living feasible for routine needs. Education is well covered at the regional level, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, and the British International School 3.8 km away as the crow flies for families seeking an English-language curriculum. Healthcare access includes 5 health centres in the surrounding area. For recreation beyond golf and beach, Polideportivo San Pedro lies 2.9 km away, with a climbing facility (Rocodromo) at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 1.2 km distant, offers a nearby walking destination towards the port. The area is busy rather than quiet. With 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds in the vicinity, summer months bring noticeably more traffic and footfall, particularly around Puerto Banús. Out of season, the district settles back into a residential rhythm. The urbanisation setting, with its communal pool and courtyard spaces shown in the photographs, buffers the apartment from street noise compared with a frontline port address.
The map shows the property's position in La Maestranza, Nueva Andalucía, with Puerto Banús marina a kilometre to the south and the golf courses of Golf Valley around it. Distances shown are straight-line; road routes are longer. Marbella centre, the beaches and both airports provide the wider regional frame.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía sits immediately north of Puerto Banús, forming the residential and golfing heart of western Marbella. Marbella centre lies 7 km to the east, Estepona further west along the coast, and Málaga city 54 km, about 45 km from the airport at the northeastern end of the Costa del Sol. The position places the property centrally within the 50 km stretch between Málaga and Estepona that concentrates much of the region's premium residential demand. Gibraltar, 52 km southwest, provides a secondary airport link for buyers travelling via the United Kingdom.
Key distances, measured in a straight line: Puerto Deportivo José Banús 1.0 km; the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, 2.6 km; Playa de Nagüeles 2.7 km; Marbella centre 7 km; Marbella's second marina 5.3 km. Road distances will be longer than these figures. The terrain to the beach is essentially flat at a 0.2% gradient, so walking and cycling are realistic options. Three golf courses lie within 3.1 km, and a Tesla Supercharger in Marbella, 2.3 km away, serves electric-vehicle owners. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol approximately 45 km away and Gibraltar roughly 52 km, giving a choice of arrival points from northern Europe. Public transport is unusually strong for the area: 10 lines and 50 stops are listed nearby, connecting Nueva Andalucía with Marbella, San Pedro Alcántara and the wider coastal corridor. A car remains convenient for golf, airport runs and out-of-season travel, but daily errands do not strictly require one.

The climate data points to a classic Costa del Sol profile: 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. Sea temperatures support roughly six months of swimming at 20°C or above, typically May through October, and the communal heated pool extends that window further. The property sits at approximately 10 m above sea level on flat terrain, so no hillside climbs are involved, a contrast with many hillside urbanisations inland of the AP-7. The north, east and south orientation of the terrace spreads sun exposure across the day: morning light from the east, strong midday and afternoon sun from the south, and a cooler shaded face for the height of summer. The mountain views towards La Concha, the 1,215 m peak of the Sierra Blanca behind Marbella, give the property a visual anchor inland, while the sea remains a glimpse rather than a panorama from this position.

Three beaches sit within 3.5 km as the crow flies: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 2.6 km, a dog-friendly beach, unusually for the region, Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km. Nagüeles and Casablanca are long, sandy stretches towards Marbella with chiringuito restaurants along the paseo. Golf is the principal recreational asset of Nueva Andalucía, known locally as Golf Valley. Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.3 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km) are established 18-hole courses, and The Range (1.9 km) offers practice facilities and lessons. Several further courses in the valley lie just beyond the radius covered by this data. Waterfront recreation centres on Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 1 km away, with its marina, restaurants and nightlife, plus Marbella's two other marinas at 5.3 and 6.7 km. Land-based sport is covered by Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a public sports centre, and private options including a climbing gym and a CrossFit box.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies the established, central segment of Nueva Andalucía, and that positioning separates it from the new-build projects typically marketed further along the coast. The comparable developments listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), are all off-plan or recent developments in eastern or western growth areas, priced from rather than at a fixed figure. At €695,000 for 100 m², this penthouse trades at roughly €6,950 per square metre, a premium of more than double the per-square-metre entry prices of those comparables. What the premium buys is location maturity and immediacy. The comparables offer new construction, warranties and modern energy standards, but in areas where infrastructure, international schools and golf amenities are still developing. Nueva Andalucía delivers all of those now: three golf courses within 3.2 km, the British International School at 3.8 km, five health centres in the area, and 69 restaurants within 2 km of the front door. The buyer also avoids construction risk and delivery delays; the apartment is key-ready with a completed refurbishment. The trade-off is equally clear. A 2003 building carries older construction standards than a 2020s development, and 100 m² is modest at this price point. Buyers comparing this property with new-build alternatives should weigh proven location against modern specification, and factor in an independent technical survey of the older structure.
