This is a completed one-bedroom corner apartment of 84 m² in the La Maestranza community, Nueva Andalucía, in the western part of Marbella municipality, Málaga province. Built in 2003, the property sits in an established gated urbanisation with communal pools and tropical gardens, roughly 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús and about one kilometre from Puerto Deportivo José Banús. The asking price is €399,000. The location combines urban convenience with proximity to several golf courses, and Marbella centre lies approximately 7 km to the east.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is in Nueva Andalucía, immediately north of Puerto Banús. The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is approximately 300 metres away. A supermarket is 353 metres away and a hospital 1.9 km. Three golf courses, including Golf Los Naranjos and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, lie within 2.1 km. The area is urban, flat, and 10 metres above sea level.
The property functions as a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of 84 m² with a covered and partially covered terrace oriented west. It suits single occupancy or a couple, for permanent residence or second-home use. Communal pools and gardens are included. The separate kitchen, fitted wardrobes and air conditioning are present features, not planned additions.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2003 and is described as being in excellent condition. No construction phase, planning uncertainty or delivery dates apply. What is seen is what is purchased. Any modernisation would be the buyer's own decision and cost, and the 2003 build year is relevant for comparing technical standards with current regulations.
The property has one bedroom and one bathroom, which limits use for families or guests. It has no private pool; only communal pools are available. No private garden, sea view or private parking is listed in the available data. The west orientation means morning sun on the terrace is absent. Views are limited to garden, pool, urban and street aspects. It is a resale property, not new build.

This property fits a recognisable set of situations. A buyer seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home within walking distance of restaurants and the beach, without managing a private pool or garden, matches the profile directly. A single person or couple relocating to the Costa del Sol who want to avoid a car for daily errands will find the 353-metre supermarket distance and dense service environment practical. Buyers prioritising the Nueva Andalucía address and proximity to Puerto Banús over interior space may accept the one-bedroom layout in exchange for location. Golf players benefit from three courses within 2.1 km. Conversely, the property does not fit buyers needing guest accommodation, a private pool, sea views or private parking, as none of these are present in the data. Investors evaluating rental potential should note the area's tourism infrastructure: 52 hotels and 12,781 beds indicate strong seasonal demand, and 4,743 property transactions in the area point to an active resale market. The 2003 build year means buyers comparing against new builds should factor in older technical installations and possible community fees typical of large gated estates. Buyers wanting a garden or independence from a community structure should consider standalone properties instead.
The apartment was completed in 2003 and is recorded as being in excellent condition. The interior layout comprises a living-dining room, a separate fully equipped kitchen, one bedroom and one bathroom, with fitted wardrobes listed as a feature. Climate control is by air conditioning. The terrace is partially covered, with a private terrace and covered terrace both listed, which extends usable outdoor space across seasons. Photography of the property shows neutral-toned living areas, an archway between living spaces and a terrace with seating and planting, consistent with a maintained resale property rather than a renovated show home. Buyers assessing technical condition should account for the 2003 construction date: electrical installations, plumbing, glazing and insulation will predate current building standards, and an independent technical survey is the standard method for verifying condition before purchase. No energy efficiency certificate value is available in the data. The community context is relevant to quality as well: La Maestranza is described as a well-maintained complex with landscaped tropical gardens and communal pools, and the condition of shared facilities affects both living quality and monthly community costs. No private parking space or storage room is listed, and buyers should confirm what communal parking arrangements exist.
The asking price is €399,000 for a completed one-bedroom apartment of 84 m², which equals roughly €4,750 per square metre. This positions the property in the established resale segment of Nueva Andalucía rather than the new-build market. For comparison, the listed comparable new developments sit at lower starting prices: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those projects are, however, located further from Marbella and Puerto Banús. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and ready for transfer, subject to normal purchase procedures.
Daily life here is organised around walkability. With a supermarket 353 metres away, an EV charging point 368 metres away and the beach roughly 300 metres from the door, most errands do not require a car. The 2 km radius contains 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, which indicates a fully urbanised service environment rather than a resort dependent on seasonal openings. La Maestranza itself is a gated community with tropical gardens and communal pools, so the daily rhythm for a resident typically involves short walks outside the complex for shopping and dining, with leisure facilities inside the gates. The corner position and west-facing terrace mean outdoor use concentrates on afternoons and evenings, with the covered section allowing use outside the summer months. Because the apartment has one bedroom, the space works as a base for one or two people rather than for accommodating visitors. The location sits between two distinct zones: the residential, golf-oriented neighbourhood of Nueva Andalucía and the commercial marina area of Puerto Banús about a kilometre south. Residents can choose between the quiet of the community gardens and the busier waterfront within a short walk. Ten public transport lines and 50 stops in the area reduce car dependency further, though the region's seasonal population peaks in July and August will increase foot traffic around the marina.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense. Within a 2 km radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, so the neighbourhood functions year-round rather than seasonally. Healthcare access includes 5 health centres in the wider data set and a hospital 1.9 km from the property. Educational options are substantial: 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools are recorded in the area, plus international schools such as the British International School at 3.8 km. For sports, Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), Rocodromo (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km) cover indoor and specialist training. Public transport is present with 10 lines and 50 stops, connecting the area to Marbella 7 km away and beyond. The flat terrain, with a 0.2% slope towards the beach and 10 m elevation, makes walking and cycling realistic for most trips. The marina at Puerto Banús (1.0 km) and the viewpoint Mirador del Muelle de Honor (1.2 km) provide evening walking destinations. The area's character shifts with the calendar: peak tourist season brings activity around the marina, while the residential core of Nueva Andalucía remains comparatively settled.
The map shows the property's position in Nueva Andalucía, immediately north of Puerto Banús and its marina. Beaches, golf courses and the motorway connection towards Marbella and Málaga airport are all within a short radius, illustrating the walkable urban setting between the coast and the Golf Valley.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella (7 km east, population 147,958) and the inland municipality boundaries towards Estepona and Benahavís. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, is 54 km northeast, and Algeciras lies 59 km west. Within Marbella municipality, the area functions as the western residential extension of Puerto Banús, combining the marina's commercial and leisure economy with golf-course urbanisations. This positions the property closer to the coast's higher-value western corridor than to the more affordable eastern Costa del Sol towns where the comparable developments are located.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is approximately 301 metres from the property; Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 2.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles 3.1 km. Marbella city centre lies 7 km east, Málaga 54 km and its airport approximately 45 km by straight line, typically around 45-60 minutes by car. Gibraltar airport is an alternative at roughly 52 km. Golf courses cluster nearby: Golf Los Naranjos at 2.0 km, The Range golf lessons at 2.0 km and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.1 km, with Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. A supermarket is 353 metres away, the hospital 1.9 km, a pharmacy 888 metres and an EV charging point 368 metres, the latter with a Tesla Supercharger at 2.3 km. The marina of Puerto Banús is 1.0 km away.

The location records 3,856 sunshine hours per year historically and an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C to 26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of at least 20°C, extends to about six months. The property sits at 10 metres above sea level with a 0.2% slope towards the beach, meaning no significant walking gradients between the apartment and the coast. The Mediterranean climate supports year-round terrace use, and the west-facing orientation concentrates outdoor sunlight in the afternoon and evening, aligning with the covered terrace section for shade. The listing notes proximity to forest as a setting characteristic, and the Sierra Blanca mountain range behind Marbella shelters the area from northern weather systems, which is a documented feature of this microclimate compared with other Spanish coastal regions.

Beaches within practical reach include Playa de Puerto Banús at roughly 300 metres, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 2.2-2.6 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7-3.1 km; Playa de Casablanca lies 3.5 km away. The area's golf offering is concentrated: Golf Los Naranjos (2.0 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.1 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km) are all championship-standard courses that give Nueva Andalucía its 'Golf Valley' designation. The Range golf lessons facility at 1.9-2.0 km provides practice options. Sports centres include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), Rocodromo (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). Waterfront recreation centres on Puerto Deportivo José Banús (1.0 km), with marinas at Marbella (5.3-6.7 km) as alternatives. The communal pools within La Maestranza add daily swimming without leaving the complex.

Within the western Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a specific market position: it is the residential zone directly behind Puerto Banús, with the concentration of golf courses known as the Golf Valley. Prices per square metre here sit above the regional average for Málaga province, reflecting proximity to the marina and the mature service infrastructure. The €399,000 asking price for 84 m² (roughly €4,750/m²) illustrates this. The comparable developments listed are all in different submarkets. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) is on the eastern Costa del Sol, a quieter, more Spanish-oriented stretch roughly 40 km east of Málaga city, with lower land values and a longer drive to Marbella and Puerto Banús. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) sits in the Mijas Costa belt between Fuengirola and Marbella, offering newer construction at lower entry prices but without the walkable Puerto Banús proximity. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) represents the growing western market, about 30 km further along the coast, where new-build supply is higher and prices lower than in Marbella municipality. A buyer choosing this La Maestranza apartment over those options is paying for location and immediacy: an established address, resale availability without construction timelines, and the dense amenity environment of 69 restaurants, 52 hotels and three golf courses within a 2 km radius. The trade-off is interior size, one bedroom and 84 m², and a 2003 build instead of new construction. Regional transaction data shows 4,743 property transactions recorded for the area, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity, which matters for buyers holding exit options in mind. Marbella's year-round population of nearly 148,000 and its international school provision distinguish it from more seasonal resort towns further east and west.
