This completed apartment is located in Puerto Banús, the marina district of Nueva Andalucía on the Costa del Sol, approximately 7 km southwest of Marbella centre. The property is a second-floor exterior unit of approximately 85 m² with one bedroom, one bathroom and a terrace with open views towards the Mediterranean. The building dates from 1973, meaning the unit is a resale rather than a new development. The beach at Playa de Puerto Banús is roughly 690 m away on foot, and the marina, shops, restaurants and supermarket are all within walking distance. Málaga Airport lies approximately 45 km away by road.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits within the built-up marina area of Puerto Banús, in a dense urban environment with retail, dining and leisure functions at street level. The nearest beach is under 700 m away and the marina promenade is roughly 500 m from the property. Elevations in the immediate area are minimal, at around 11 m above sea level, so routes to the coast are essentially flat.
The property functions as a compact one-bedroom dwelling suited to single occupancy, a couple, or short-stay use. The separate kitchen and terrace with sea views provide the main living amenities. Purchasers requiring additional bedrooms, private parking, communal pools or storage should verify availability separately, as none are listed in the property data.
The building was completed in 1973 and the construction status is listed as complete. This is an existing resale property, not an off-plan or new-build development. Purchase therefore involves immediate transfer rather than staged payments, and the physical condition of a 1970s building should be assessed through standard technical survey before completion.
The listing provides one bedroom and one bathroom across 85 m², which limits suitability for larger households. No parking space, storage room, communal pool, lift or garden is listed in the available data. As a 1973 building, energy performance certificates and community fees should be requested. The property does not include a second bedroom or additional sanitary facilities.

This property fits a specific set of circumstances. It can suit a buyer seeking a compact second home in a walkable coastal location where no car is needed for daily life, with the beach, marina and shops within a few hundred metres. It can also suit a purchaser focused on the rental market, given the year-round visitor volume in Puerto Banús and the concentration of hotels, 52 with nearly 12,800 beds, in the vicinity, indicating sustained short-stay demand. Buyers prioritising view and location over internal floor area are the realistic audience: the sea-facing terrace and marina address are the property's defining features. It is less suited to families needing multiple bedrooms, given the one-bedroom, one-bathroom layout, and buyers requiring private parking or communal leisure facilities should confirm whether these exist within the community. Purchasers sensitive to seasonal noise and crowding should consider that the district operates as an entertainment centre, with the attendant summer activity. For a buyer relocating permanently, proximity to healthcare (a hospital at 1.3 km and five health centres in the wider area) and schooling (41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the region, plus international schools within 5–7 km) provides a workable year-round base.
As a completed 1973 building, the construction and finish of this apartment reflect its age combined with whatever refurbishment has been carried out, which should be verified during a viewing. The listing indicates a fully equipped separate kitchen with appliances including a washing machine, a living and dining area with direct terrace access, and one bedroom with one bathroom. Photographic material shows a modern kitchen, a bedroom with decorative textiles, and a hallway with mirror and storage furniture, suggesting the interior has been updated, though the scope and date of renovation are not documented in the data. For a property of this vintage, several technical points warrant attention during due diligence: the condition of plumbing and electrical installations, window frames and glazing (relevant for both insulation and noise, given the busy surroundings), and the state of the building envelope and communal structure. The energy efficiency certificate is not stated in the available data and should be requested from the vendor; older buildings without recent retrofits frequently carry lower ratings, which affects running costs. Community fees, building maintenance plans and any planned obras (works) approved by the community of owners should also be reviewed, as these directly influence annual ownership costs. No information is available on air conditioning, heating systems or lift access; these should be confirmed on inspection.
The listed price is €656,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of approximately 85 m², which equates to roughly €7,700 per m². This positions the property at the upper end of the regional market, reflecting the Puerto Banús address rather than the size of the dwelling. Comparable 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 €269,000), offer lower entry prices, but in different locations without the marina setting. As a resale, the price is a single completed transaction figure rather than a phased price list.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around the marina and the seafront. The property sits in a part of Puerto Banús where restaurants, boutiques, banks and cafés operate year-round, with 73 restaurants and 9 cafés counted within a 2 km radius. A supermarket lies 451 m away and a pharmacy 274 m, so routine shopping can be done on foot. The area is one of the busiest on the Costa del Sol, receiving in the order of five million visitors annually, and the rhythm of the district shifts noticeably between the summer high season and the quieter winter months. For residents this means services remain open throughout the year, but traffic, noise and pedestrian density increase substantially from June to September. The apartment's second-floor position and exterior orientation provide natural light and views over the coastline towards the beach. The terrace, accessed from the living area, is the principal outdoor space. Because the district is flat and compact, most errands, supermarket, pharmacy, beach, marina, can be completed without a car, which is comparatively rare on the Costa del Sol. Public transport is present, with nine bus lines and around 50 stops in the surrounding area, connecting the district towards Marbella and San Pedro. A car is useful for reaching golf courses, international schools and larger retail, but is not required for daily needs.
The immediate surroundings are dense, urban and service-oriented. Within a 2 km radius, the counted amenities include 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and 4 banks, alongside 52 hotels. This concentration means that almost every daily need is met within a short walk: the nearest supermarket is 451 m away, the pharmacy 274 m and an electric vehicle charging point 325 m. Healthcare access is reasonable, with a hospital 1.3 km away and five health centres in the wider area. For sport, Polideportivo San Pedro is 2.2 km away, with climbing (Rocodromo) and CrossFit facilities at 2.8 km and 3.2 km respectively. The environment is lively rather than quiet: Puerto Banús functions as one of the largest entertainment centres on the Costa del Sol, so evenings and weekends bring activity in the marina and surrounding streets. Transport-wise, nine bus lines and roughly 50 stops serve the area, and the A-7 coastal motorway connects the district to Marbella (7 km) and Estepona. Outside the peak season, the district calms considerably while most businesses remain open, as the area serves a permanent residential population in Nueva Andalucía as well as tourists.
The map shows the property's position within the built-up marina district, with the beach under 700 m to the southeast and the marina basin 500 m away. The golf courses of Nueva Andalucía lie a short distance inland to the north, while the A-7 runs parallel to the coast, connecting Marbella to the east and Estepona to the west.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies the coastal edge of Nueva Andalucía, 7 km southwest of Marbella and roughly 10 km northeast of Estepona. Within the regional hierarchy it functions as a retail and leisure hub rather than an administrative centre: Marbella (population approximately 148,000) provides municipal services, healthcare and the historic town centre, while Málaga city (population approximately 579,000, 54 km away) serves as the regional capital with the main airport and hospital network. The property's position within this structure means it combines immediate access to leisure infrastructure with reasonable connectivity to larger service centres along the A-7 and AP-7 corridors.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is approximately 686 m away, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.6 km and Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km. The marina itself, Puerto Deportivo José Banús, is 500 m from the property. Golf is a defining feature of the surrounding Nueva Andalucía area: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas lies 2.2 km away, with The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Marbella centre is 7 km away, San Pedro de Alcántara roughly 3 km, and Estepona accessible via the A-7. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45–46 km by road, typically a 40–50 minute drive, while Gibraltar Airport is around 51 km in the opposite direction. International schools, the British International School and The International School of Estepona, lie at 4.8 km and 6.9 km respectively.

The location sits at approximately 11 m above sea level with a slope towards the beach of around 0.3%, meaning the walking route to the coast is flat. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, and a historical figure of approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year, one of the higher figures for the Iberian peninsula. The swimming season extends to roughly six months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or above. In practical terms, this supports outdoor use of the terrace and beach for most of the year, with the warmest period from June to September and mild but occasionally wet winters from December to February. The Sierra Blanca mountains behind Marbella shelter the coastal strip from some northern weather systems, contributing to the area's stable temperatures.

The closest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús at roughly 686 m, adjoins the marina and its beach clubs and chiringuitos. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, 1.6 km away, is a designated dog-friendly beach, one of the few in the municipality. Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km) is a longer urban beach backed by a palm-lined promenade, and Playa de Nagüeles lies 3.7 km east towards Marbella. Blue Flag status for individual beaches should be verified with the municipality, as designations are reviewed annually. Beyond the beach, recreational infrastructure includes three golf courses within 3 km, public sports facilities at Polideportivo San Pedro, and the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint 500 m from the property, which overlooks the marina entrance. Two further marinas, Marina la Bajadilla and Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen, are located in Marbella at 7–8 km for those with boats or an interest in watersports.

Puerto José Banús, more commonly known simply as Puerto Banús, is a marina located in the area of Nueva Andalucía, to the southwest of Marbella, Spain on the Costa del Sol. It was built in May 1970 by José Banús (1906-1984), a local property developer, as a luxury marina and shopping complex. It has since become one of the largest entertainment centres in the Costa del Sol, with 5 million annual visitors, and is popular with international celebrities. Developed around a coastal village in the Mediterranean architectural style, Puerto Banús contains high-end shopping malls, restaurants and bars around the marina.

Within the western Costa del Sol, Puerto Banús occupies a specific market segment defined by the marina and its associated retail and leisure economy. At approximately €7,700 per m², this one-bedroom apartment sits well above the regional entry level, and the premium is attributable almost entirely to location rather than floor area or specification. The nearest comparable in terms of market character is central Marbella's old town and Golden Mile, 7 km east, where resale apartments with sea proximity trade in a broadly similar bracket, though often with more floor area for the price in buildings further from the water. To the west, Estepona offers a contrasting proposition: projects such as Etherna Homes 2 (from €269,000) provide new-build construction, modern energy ratings and communal facilities at roughly 40% of this property's price, but in a town-centre or peripheral location without the marina address. Further along the coast, Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) illustrate how far prices fall outside the Marbella, Estepona core; both locations require a car for most daily activities and lie considerably further from the airport-hotel-restaurant density that defines this part of Málaga province. For a buyer comparing options, the trade-off is therefore explicit: this property delivers a walkable, high-amenity, high-visibility coastal location with documented year-round visitor demand and rental potential, in exchange for a smaller dwelling in an older building at a significantly higher price per square metre. The 4,743 property transactions recorded in the surrounding area indicate an active resale market with regular liquidity, which is relevant both for exit prospects and for the availability of comparable evidence when valuing the property.
