This renovated penthouse is located in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella, within a gated urbanisation a short distance from Puerto Banús. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 86 m² of living space, complemented by a 65 m² private terrace with sea views. Built in 2000 and recently refurbished according to the listing details, it is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €730,000. The complex includes two communal swimming pools, mature gardens and covered parking. Distances to the beach, golf courses and Marbella town centre are given as straight-line kilometres.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this penthouse occupies a different segment from the new-build projects in the eastern and western corridors. Comparable developments currently listed include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). All three are new construction at substantially lower entry prices, but they sit in zones with a different character: Torre del Mar and Mijas are more moderately priced, family-oriented markets east and east-west of Málaga, while Estepona is a growth area further from Marbella's core. At €730,000 for 86 m² of interior plus a 65 m² terrace, this property reflects Nueva Andalucía's established pricing level, roughly €8,500 per m² of interior, offset by an unusually large terrace and a fully completed renovation. The location premium is tangible: Puerto Banús at 1.0 km, three golf courses within 3.1 km, and Marbella at 7 km. Buyers comparing options should weigh what a new-build in a cheaper zone offers (modern specification, warranty, phased payment) against what this established Marbella-area address provides (immediate availability, mature urbanisation, proximity to Banús and the Golf Valley). The local market is active, with 4,743 housing transactions per year recorded in the area, and the tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels, 12,781 beds, supports both seasonal letting potential and summer-period demand on local roads and amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands in a residential urbanisation in Nueva Andalucía, about 1.0 km as the crow flies from Puerto Deportivo José Banús and 2.6 km from the nearest beach. Marbella town centre lies 7 km straight-line away. The A-7 coastal motorway is reachable by car, connecting the area to San Pedro de Alcántara and the wider Costa del Sol. The setting is urban but set back from main roads.
The home combines an open-plan kitchen and living area with three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 86 m². The 65 m² south-facing private terrace provides outdoor dining space with sea views. Air conditioning (hot and cold) is installed, and fitted wardrobes are present throughout. Residents share two communal pools, a children's pool and gardens. Furniture is available as an optional purchase.
This is an existing property, originally completed in 2000, described as recently refurbished and in excellent condition. The renovation was carried out by the Orinterior architectural practice, according to the seller's information. The penthouse is key-ready, meaning no waiting period applies between purchase and occupancy. Completion dates for existing homes are not subject to construction scheduling.
Several limitations should be noted. The living area is 86 m², which is compact for a three-bedroom home; much of the total surface of 151 m² consists of terrace. There is no private garden, and the pool listed is communal within the gated complex rather than exclusively private. The building dates from 2000. Parking is covered but details on storage space are not provided. No lift information is available in the data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home benefits from the gated complex, communal pools managed by the community, and a location close to Puerto Banús without being on top of it. Those planning longer stays or permanent residence will find year-round comfort through hot and cold air conditioning and the flat, walkable surroundings. Buyers prioritising outdoor living, terrace dining, sea views, sun from a southern orientation, get a terrace nearly the size of the interior. Golf and padel players are within 2-4 km of several courses and clubs. It is less self-evident for households needing generous interior space: at 86 m², the third bedroom will typically function as a study, guest room or children's room with modest dimensions. Buyers wanting a private pool or garden should note these are communal facilities. Those seeking absolute quiet away from tourism should also consider that Nueva Andalucía sits in one of the Costa del Sol's most visited zones, with 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds in the wider area, which brings summer seasonality in traffic and footfall. For investors, the combination of a refurbished interior, terrace and location near the marina is a relevant factor, though rental performance depends on licensing and management choices not covered here.
According to the listing, the penthouse was recently renovated with attention to detail by the Orinterior architectural practice, described as bringing contemporary Mediterranean styling and refined detailing. Observable features supporting this include a fully fitted open-plan kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and air conditioning for both cooling and heating. The condition is listed as excellent and recently refurbished. The building itself dates from 2000, so the structural fabric is of that period; the renovation applies to interiors and finishes. The images show a modern open-plan living and dining area, a bright bedroom and furnished outdoor spaces on the terrace. Technical elements present: covered terrace, private terrace of 65 m², covered parking within the gated complex, and optional furniture purchase. Points not documented in the available data include appliance brands, window and glazing specifications, insulation values, storage rooms and lift access. Buyers are advised to verify the exact scope and age of the renovation, the community's maintenance plans for the two pools and gardens, and the annual community fees during the viewing or through the notarial information pack.
The penthouse is offered at a fixed asking price of €730,000. Unlike new-build projects, there is no price list with unit variations; this figure applies to the specific property with its three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 86 m² interior and 65 m² terrace. Included in the complex are two communal pools and covered parking. Furniture is optional and would be negotiated separately. The property is key-ready, so no phased payments or construction-linked deposits apply. Buyers should additionally budget for purchase costs in Spain (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) and annual running costs such as community fees and IBI, which are not specified in the available data.
Daily life at this penthouse revolves around the interplay between indoor and outdoor space. With 86 m² of interior and a 65 m² south-facing terrace, the outdoor area is almost as large as the living space itself. A south orientation means the terrace receives sun throughout the day, which suits breakfast outside, long lunches and evening use for most of the year. Sea views from the terrace orient the home towards the coastline and Puerto Banús. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living area creates a single bright zone, with generous windows adding daylight to the rooms. The urbanisation is described as peaceful and well maintained, with two communal pools set in mature greenery, practical for swimming without private pool maintenance. For groceries and daily errands, Nueva Andalucía offers a full range of amenities within 2 km: 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist. Sport is well covered nearby, with Real Club Pádel Marbella close by and Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km straight-line. The beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies 2.6 km away, and the terrain is flat (0.2% gradient), making walking and cycling realistic options. Puerto Banús marina is roughly 1 km away as the crow flies, so evening outings by foot or a short drive are feasible. A car remains practical for reaching Marbella, the golf courses or the airport, but daily needs can largely be met locally.
Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara, inland of the coastal strip yet close to it. 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. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at roughly 1.0 km straight-line, functions as the local focal point for dining, shopping and people-watching. The immediate area within 2 km contains an unusually dense amenity mix: 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area, and education includes 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, plus international options such as the British International School at 3.8 km. The setting is urban and residential, quieter than the marina front but within a high-tourism zone: 52 hotels and 12,781 beds indicate pronounced seasonal activity in summer. The elevation is just 10 m above sea level with a 0.2% gradient to the coast, so there are no significant hills between the home and the sea. Public transport is available via 10 lines and 50 stops, though most residents use a car for flexibility.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: immediately north of Puerto Banús, west of Marbella centre (7 km), and close to San Pedro de Alcántara. It is an established residential zone known for its concentration of golf courses and its mix of permanent residents and second-home owners. Within the region's hierarchy, it sits at the higher end of the market alongside central Marbella, distinct from the more affordable eastern zones such as Torre del Mar or Mijas, and comparable in character to parts of Estepona's newer developments. Málaga city and its airport are under an hour away by road; Gibraltar is a similar distance in the other direction.
By car, the A-7 provides direct access along the coast: Marbella at 7 km straight-line, San Pedro de Alcántara nearby, and Málaga city at 54 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km away as the crow flies; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is an alternative at about 52 km straight-line. Both figures are direct distances, actual driving distances and times will be longer, particularly in summer traffic. Golf courses cluster within a short radius: The Range at 1.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km straight-line. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a climbing gym at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. An EV charging point (Marbella Supercharger) is 2.3 km away. Public transport runs on 10 lines with 50 stops in the area, which supports car-light living for local trips, though regional travel generally remains easier by car.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures between 12°C and 26°C, with an annual average of 19.2°C, a typical Mediterranean coastal profile. Winters are mild enough for terrace use on sunny days, while summers are warm and make the communal pools and nearby beaches central to daily life. The swimming season lasts about six months, the period during which sea water stays at or above 20°C. At 10 m above sea level and on essentially flat terrain (0.2% gradient towards the coast), the property involves no hill climbing in daily routines, unlike many hillside urbanisations on this coast. Rainfall is concentrated outside summer, and sunshine hours are characteristic of the Costa del Sol, one of Europe's sunniest regions. The south-facing terrace aligns with this climate, receiving sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, with sea views towards the horizon.

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). The beaches between Puerto Banús and Marbella are sandy and serviced, with chiringuitos and water sports in season. Recreation extends beyond the coast: three golf facilities within 3.1 km (The Range, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Magna Marbella Golf) make this one of the densest golf zones on the coast, the reason Nueva Andalucía is widely known as the 'Golf Valley'. Padel is served by Real Club Pádle Marbella nearby, and general sport by Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km). For walkers, Mirador del Muelle de Honor offers a viewpoint at 1.2 km. Two marinas beyond Banús, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen (5.3 km) and Marina la Bajadilla (6.7 km), add sailing and excursion options.
