This three-bedroom penthouse duplex is located in Aloha Gardens, a gated residential community in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella centre. The property measures 241 m² across two levels, with a private terrace, a rooftop solarium, and access to three communal swimming pools. Built in 1991 and offered key-ready, the residence has a south-facing orientation with garden and pool views. The asking price is fixed at €950,000. Puerto Banús marina lies about one kilometre away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach is 2.6 km in a direct line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nueva Andalucía is an established residential area between Marbella centre (7 km direct) and Puerto Banús (1 km direct). The setting combines proximity to marinas, beaches and several championship golf courses with a quieter, urbanised street pattern. Distances stated are straight-line; road distances are longer.
The duplex layout separates living and sleeping zones over two floors. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an ensuite master with dressing room, and two private outdoor spaces accommodate family use or guest visits. Marble flooring, fitted wardrobes, double glazing and air conditioning are present.
This is not a new-build development. The property was completed in 1991 and is available immediately as an existing home. The current configuration supports interior modernisation at a later stage, subject to the owner's plans and community rules.
The property has communal rather than private swimming pools. No private garage, garden, lift, storage room or sea view is listed in the available data. The building dates from 1991, so installations and finishes reflect that period until renovated.
This residence suits buyers seeking an established address in Nueva Andalucía rather than a newly built apartment further from Marbella. Recognisable situations include: a family needing three bedrooms with separation between living and sleeping zones, where the ensuite master and shared second bathroom work for children or guests; a second-home buyer who values gated community living with communal pools and low maintenance responsibilities compared to a private villa; and a buyer intending to renovate progressively, using the sound 1991 structure and duplex layout as a base while modernising interiors over time. It is less suitable for those wanting a private pool, a private garden, or sea views, as none of these are listed. Buyers seeking a lift-served building or ground-floor access should also note the two-level layout with internal stairs and the external staircase to the solarium. The location works well for households using international schools, the British International School is 3.8 km away in a direct line, and for regular golf players, with Las Brisas, Magna Marbella and Aloha golf clubs nearby. A car remains the practical mode of transport for most daily trips, although 50 public transport stops across 10 lines serve the wider area.
The documented finishing level reflects the property's 1991 construction combined with later upgrades. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of the period and durable under coastal conditions. Windows are double glazed, and climate control includes air conditioning with both hot and cold functions plus pre-installed ducting, allowing the system to be extended or replaced without major structural work. Storage is addressed through fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a dedicated dressing room in the master suite. The ensuite arrangement gives the principal bedroom independent facilities, while a guest lavatory on the ground floor avoids the need to use upstairs bathrooms when entertaining. Outdoor construction includes a covered terrace and an open private terrace on the first floor, plus the rooftop solarium reached by an external staircase. These are original structural elements of the penthouse configuration rather than later additions, which is relevant for how they can be modified. As the building dates from 1991, buyers should expect that kitchens, bathrooms and technical installations may not match current new-build standards. The described condition is good, and the layout supports interior modernisation, but no renovation scope, warranty or developer specification applies, since this is an existing resale property rather than a development with handover guarantees.
The asking price is fixed at €950,000 for the complete 241 m² residence, equivalent to roughly €3,942 per square metre of living area. As an existing, key-ready home, no phased price list applies. The property includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two private terraces and a rooftop solarium, with use of three communal pools within the gated community. Transaction costs, notary fees and taxes are additional to the stated price. Completion dates for any purchase remain indicative and depend on the negotiation and notary schedule.
Daily life at this address is organised around the duplex structure and the enclosed community of Aloha Gardens. The ground floor combines an open-plan living and dining area with direct access to a private terrace, an independent kitchen and a guest lavatory. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a dressing room, ensuite bathroom and a second private terrace, from which a staircase leads to the rooftop solarium, the largest and most private of the three outdoor spaces. The two remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom. The community itself provides three shared swimming pools and landscaped grounds, with the penthouse positioned to look over garden and pool areas. Because the residence sits within a gated enclave, access is controlled, which shapes how the surroundings feel throughout the day and across seasons. Nueva Andalucía functions as a year-round neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort strip. Within two kilometres there are approximately 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies and 4 banks, meaning groceries, dining and daily services are reachable without travelling into Marbella. The nearest supermarket zone and the commercial offer around Puerto Banús are both short drives away. For buyers comparing this with newer developments along the coast, the practical difference is that the living rhythm here depends less on on-site facilities and more on the established neighbourhood: golf courses, tennis clubs, international schools and the marina are all part of the immediate surroundings rather than amenities inside the complex.
Aloha Gardens sits within walking reach of everyday services while remaining inside a controlled-access community. The immediate area counts 69 restaurants and 10 cafés within two kilometres, alongside 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist. This density of amenities is characteristic of Nueva Andalucía's mature urbanisation, where commercial life has developed alongside residential streets rather than in separated zones. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies 1.0 km away in a direct line and functions as the area's social and nautical hub, with marinas also at Marbella (5.3 km) and La Bajadilla (6.7 km). For sports, Polideportivo San Pedro is 2.9 km away, plus a climbing facility and a CrossFit box within four kilometres. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area, and education by 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, including international options. The area's tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, means the surroundings are busier in summer and quieter in winter, a rhythm typical of this stretch of the coast. Public transport provides 10 lines and 50 stops, though most residents rely on a car for convenience.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies the position between Puerto Banús and Marbella centre, close enough to both for daily access, far enough to retain a residential rather than resort character. Marbella (7 km direct, roughly 148,000 inhabitants) provides full urban services, while Málaga (54 km) and its airport connect the area to international travel. The local housing market records about 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment typical of this part of the coast.
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 route to the coast is essentially flat, with a gradient of 0.2%, so cycling and walking are realistic options outside the hottest hours. Marbella centre is 7 km in a direct line, Málaga city 54 km, and Algeciras 59 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km away straight-line, with Gibraltar Airport (GIB) at 52 km as an alternative for northern European and UK connections. Actual driving distances are longer than these figures. For electric vehicle owners, a Marbella Supercharger station is 2.3 km away. Golf access is short: a practice range at 1.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. A car remains the practical choice for beach, school and airport trips, while the 10 bus lines and 50 stops offer basic public coverage.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures between 12°C and 26°C, with an annual mean of 19.2°C, a moderate Mediterranean profile without extreme summer peaks at this coastal elevation of 10 metres above sea level. The swimming season lasts six months, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, which roughly spans late May through October. The terrain towards the beach is flat (0.2% gradient), so walking and cycling to the coast involve no significant climbing. The rooftop solarium, facing south, receives sun throughout the day, making it usable for most of the year rather than only in summer. The immediate green context is formed by the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía, with several courses occupying the low ground between the urbanisation and the Sierra Blanca foothills further inland. Garden and pool views from the property connect the interior to this landscaped setting.

Beaches near the property include Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.6 km direct), Playa de Nagüeles (2.7 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km), a succession of sandy stretches along the Marbella coastline reachable within a short drive. For a viewpoint perspective, Mirador del Muelle de Honor sits 1.2 km away near the harbour. Golf is the strongest recreational feature of the location: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.3 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km) are both within five minutes' drive, with Aloha and Los Naranjos golf clubs also in the immediate vicinity according to the property description. Tennis courts are likewise nearby. Marina-based recreation concentrates around Puerto Banús at 1.0 km, offering moorings, waterfront dining and water sports. Organised sport is available at Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a climbing wall (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). Together these options cover land, sea and clubhouse-based leisure within a compact radius.

Compared with the newer developments currently marketed along the Costa del Sol, this residence represents a different entry point into the market. Projects 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) offer new construction at considerably lower starting prices, but in locations further from Marbella and Puerto Banús, and typically in smaller units. Those developments appeal primarily to buyers prioritising modern specification and lower cost per square metre. This penthouse, at €950,000 for 241 m², is priced at roughly €3,942 per square metre, above the new-build averages of the eastern Costa del Sol, yet consistent with the established resale market of Nueva Andalucía, where proximity to Puerto Banús (1 km direct), Las Brisas golf (2.3 km) and Marbella centre (7 km) supports values. The regional housing market records about 4,743 transactions per year, reflecting liquidity in resale stock. The trade-off is explicit: buyers exchange new-build warranties and contemporary finishes for a mature neighbourhood, a larger footprint, a duplex layout with a private solarium, and a location that new developments in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona cannot replicate in terms of distance to the Marbella-Puerto Banús axis. Buyers budgeting for renovation should factor modernisation costs into the comparison with turnkey new builds, while those prioritising location and space will find the per-square-metre equation more favourable here. Median provincial income of €16,450 per year also indicates that this price segment serves an international and affluent buyer base rather than the local primary market, which is typical for gated communities in this part of Marbella.
