This 95 m² beachfront apartment is located in the heart of Puerto Banús, on the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. Built in 2000 and now key-ready, it offers one bedroom, one bathroom, a south-east orientation and sea views from a private terrace with fireplace. The asking price is fixed at €850,000. The property sits within walking distance of the marina, luxury boutiques, restaurants and the seafront promenade, and holds a tourist rental licence for holiday letting. Marbella lies 7 km away as the crow flies, Málaga approximately 54 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands directly on the beachfront in central Puerto Banús, part of Nueva Andalucía southwest of Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km away in a straight line, with the marina just 0.5 km from the door. Shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the port, all reachable on foot. The terrain is flat, with a gradient of only 0.3% toward the sea.
The home suits a resident who values walkability above space. One bedroom, one bathroom and 95 m² of living area with a terrace and fireplace cover the needs of a couple or a single occupant. Daily amenities are dense: 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and 4 banks within 2 km. Public transport is available through 9 lines and 50 stops, so a car is not essential for everyday life.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2000 and is offered key-ready as an existing home, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. There is no construction phase, no off-plan payment schedule and no indicative delivery date to monitor. Any renovation or refurbishment would be the buyer's own responsibility and could start straight after transfer of ownership.
The property offers a single bedroom and a single bathroom within 95 m², which limits its use for families or households needing several bedrooms. No parking space, storage room, garden, communal pool or gym is listed in the available data. The building dates from 2000, so installations and finishes reflect that construction period rather than current new-build standards. Noise from the port area and surrounding nightlife is a known characteristic of this location.

This property fits a buyer who wants to be inside Puerto Banús itself, within walking distance of the marina, the promenade and the beach, rather than in a quieter residential area on the outskirts. It suits a couple or single occupant seeking a low-maintenance base, one bedroom and one bathroom are enough for that use, and the 95 m² layout with terrace keeps running demands modest. It also fits an investor: the existing tourist rental licence allows holiday letting in a location with year-round visitor demand, and resale liquidity in the area is supported by roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year. The buyer profile is less likely to be a family needing several bedrooms, a private garden or dedicated parking, since none of these are listed. Retirees or professionals who prefer walkability over driving will find 9 bus lines and 50 stops nearby, plus everyday services within 2 km. What the buyer accepts in exchange for the location is the urban intensity of one of the coast's busiest entertainment districts, summer crowds, nightlife noise and tourist traffic, and a building from 2000 rather than a newly constructed development. Buyers prioritising modern energy performance, communal facilities or off-plan payment terms would need to look elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
The apartment was completed in 2000, which sets the frame for the construction standard: this is a twenty-five-year-old building, not a contemporary new-build. The available data does not specify the developer, the construction company or the exact materials used, so buyers should verify the condition of installations, electrics, plumbing, windows and air conditioning, during a technical survey. What is documented is a fireplace in the living area, which provides supplementary heating for winter evenings, and a south-east orientation that maximises natural light in the principal rooms. The terrace, described as generous, extends the living space outdoors and is fitted to make year-round use realistic given the regional average annual temperature of 19.2°C. Sea views and street views are both listed, indicating a corner position or an angled aspect toward the waterfront. Finishes visible in the imagery suggest a conventional Mediterranean resale standard rather than a recently renovated interior; buyers budgeting for modernisation should treat that as a possible additional cost. No information is available about the building's communal areas, lift, insulation values or energy performance beyond what the listing states, and these points belong on the due-diligence list. As an existing key-ready home, the property can be inspected in its actual state before commitment, an advantage over off-plan purchases, where the finished product is only seen at delivery.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €850,000, not as part of a price list with variations. The property is key-ready and was completed in 2000, so purchase costs, notarial transfer and community arrangements apply to a resale transaction rather than an off-plan reservation. For context within the region, new-build comparables start considerably lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, but those projects do not offer a beachfront position inside Puerto Banús. The tourist rental licence included with this property is a relevant factor for buyers weighing rental income against the purchase price. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around the port and the sea. The front door opens onto the commercial heart of Puerto Banús, where high-end shopping malls, restaurants and bars line the marina that José Banús developed in 1970. With roughly five million visitors a year, the area is one of the busiest entertainment centres on the Costa del Sol, and the rhythm of the neighbourhood follows that: lively from late morning through the evening, intense in summer, and noticeably calmer outside the tourist season. For a resident, this means groceries, pharmacies, banks and cafés are all within a short walk, the data lists 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and 4 banks within 2 km. The seafront promenade and the beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, 1.6 km away in a straight line, provide the daily outdoor space, while the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint 0.5 km away offers a quieter spot above the water. The apartment itself is oriented south-east, so mornings bring light into the living area and onto the terrace, where the fireplace extends usable hours into the cooler months. The swimming season runs about six months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. Life here is urban and pedestrian; a car is useful for reaching golf courses such as Real Club de Golf Las Brisas 2.2 km away or Marbella centre 7 km away, but not required for daily errands. The mix of 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds nearby indicates how tourist-driven the environment remains throughout the year.
The immediate surroundings are defined by the marina economy. Puerto Deportivo José Banús sits 0.5 km from the apartment in a straight line, and the streets between are filled with boutiques, restaurants and bars. Daily practicality is strong: 4 pharmacies and 4 banks within 2 km, a dentist within the same radius, and 5 health centres serving the wider area. Education options are extensive at regional level, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools counted, and international schooling available at the British International School 4.8 km away and The International School of Estepona 6.9 km away. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.2 km, a climbing wall at Rocodromo 2.8 km and CrossFit Marbella 3.2 km. For golfers, three courses lie within 3 km: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, The Range and Magna Marbella Golf. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at the Marbella Supercharger 3.4 km away. The gradient toward the beach is a flat 0.3%, so the whole waterfront stretch is walkable without inclines. Noise and foot traffic are the trade-off of this density; the area receives around five million visitors annually, and summer weekends in particular bring crowds to the port.
The map shows the apartment's position at the heart of Puerto Banús, with the marina 0.5 km away and the nearest beach 1.6 km as the crow flies. Marbella centre lies 7 km to the northeast. Golf courses, international schools and the motorway connections are marked to give a sense of how this stretch of the Costa del Sol is organised around the waterfront.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: the entertainment and luxury-retail anchor between Marbella centre, 7 km to the northeast as the crow flies, and Estepona further west. Málaga city and its airport lie roughly 54 and 46 km away respectively, while Gibraltar airport is about 51 km to the southwest. Within the region, the area functions as the high-profile end of the market, distinct from quieter residential zones such as Nueva Andalucía's golf side or the family beaches of San Pedro. The apartment's beachfront position inside the port itself places it at the centre of that profile rather than on its margins.
The beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.7 km. Marbella centre is 7 km in a straight line, and Málaga city 54 km. Two airports serve the location: Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 46 km and Gibraltar at approximately 51 km, both realistic options for international travel, road distances and driving times will be longer than the straight-line figures. Public transport is a genuine alternative here, with 9 lines and 50 stops recorded in the area, connecting Puerto Banús with Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. For drivers, the coastal A-7 and the AP-7 toll motorway run behind the built-up strip, giving access along the whole coast; the flat terrain and short distances mean most daily trips on foot remain practical year-round. EV charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger 3.4 km away and in Estepona 10 km away.

The climate is one of the location's structural advantages. Average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.2°C, a profile that supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season lasts around six months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C. The apartment sits at 11 metres above sea level on flat terrain with a gradient of only 0.3% toward the beach, so there are no climbs between the front door and the sand. The south-east orientation places the terrace in morning and midday sun, while the fireplace extends comfortable use of the living space into winter evenings. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches from late spring to early autumn. Natural greenery nearby is limited to the coastal strip and the golf courses inland; the Sierra mountains form a backdrop further north but are not part of the immediate walking environment. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 0.5 km away, offers the closest quiet outlook over the water.

The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km in a straight line from the apartment, followed by Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.7 km, all connected by the seafront promenade that runs along this stretch of coast. Specific Blue Flag status is not recorded in the available data. Recreation inland is dominated by golf: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas sits 2.2 km away, The Range golf school 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf 2.8 km, giving three options within a short drive. Water-based activity centres on the marina itself, 0.5 km away, where boat trips, charters and water sports are organised. Land sports are covered by Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.2 km, a climbing facility at Rocodromo 2.8 km and CrossFit Marbella 3.2 km. The concentration of 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds in the area also reflects the scale of dining, nightlife and leisure on offer within walking distance, from harbour-front restaurants to the boutiques around the port.

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.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build developments typically advertised in the region. Comparable 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 modern construction, communal facilities and off-plan payment structures at substantially lower entry prices, but in secondary coastal towns or inland residential settings, several kilometres from a beachfront and without the retail and nightlife infrastructure of Puerto Banús. This property, by contrast, buys position: a completed 2000 building directly on the waterfront of one of the coast's most recognised addresses, with the marina 0.5 km away and Marbella 7 km down the coast. The €850,000 fixed asking price for 95 m² and a single bedroom reflects that land value rather than built volume; buyers effectively pay for location and letting potential, not floor area. The included tourist rental licence strengthens the investment case in an area that records roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year and supports 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, indicators of persistent demand. Buyers comparing options should therefore weigh two distinct propositions: newer space and amenities further from the sea, or an older, compact resale home inside the port itself. Median provincial income of €16,450 also signals how far this micro-market sits above the regional norm. Neither choice is objectively better; the decision depends on whether the priority is modern living standards or an established address with immediate walkability and rental income.
