This resale apartment is located in Puerto Banús, the marina district of Nueva Andalucía southwest of Marbella, completed in 1975 (indicative). The 79 m² unit offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and sea views with an east-facing orientation. The building sits within a commercial, beachside setting, roughly 686 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús and close to the marina, shops and public transport. The interior appears partially renovated, with an unfitted kitchen and no furniture included. Málaga Airport lies approximately 45 km away. The property is listed from €500,000 and is delivered in completed, ready-to-fit-out condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits inside the Puerto Banús commercial area, within walking distance of the marina, the beach and a full range of shops and restaurants. A supermarket lies 451 metres away, a pharmacy 274 metres, and a health centre is 1.3 km from the door. The setting is urban and busy, particularly in summer months, with fifty public transport stops in the surrounding area.
The unit functions as a compact two-bedroom dwelling for permanent or seasonal use, with fibre optic connectivity and accessibility features for people with reduced mobility. The east orientation provides morning sun and sea views. Daily needs, groceries, pharmacies, banking, cafés, are met on foot, which reduces dependence on a car for routine errands.
This is not a new-build project. The property is a resale apartment in a building completed in 1970s Puerto Banús, with delivery recorded as completed (1975, indicative). Interior photography shows partially completed works, including an unfitted kitchen, meaning the buyer should budget for finishing the unit to their own specification after purchase.
The property does not include parking; parking is on-street only. The kitchen is unfitted and the apartment is sold without furniture. There is one bathroom for two bedrooms, no communal pool or garden is listed, and the 79 m² footprint limits space for larger households. Noise and visitor traffic associated with a commercial marina area are inherent to the setting.
This property fits a buyer whose priority is location over specification. Recognisable situations include: a second-home buyer who wants to arrive, walk to the beach and the marina within minutes, and accept that the interior requires a kitchen installation and decoration budget; an investor considering a rental asset in a high-footfall tourism zone with 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds nearby, indicating sustained visitor demand; or a downsizer who no longer needs a car-dependent property and values a flat terrain, on-foot amenities and reduced-mobility access features. It fits less well where the requirement is a finished, move-in-ready home, private parking, multiple bathrooms for a family, or a quiet residential street. The single bathroom and 79 m² footprint place practical limits on household size, and street parking in a marina commercial zone requires realistic expectations, particularly in July and August. Buyers intending year-round residence should also weigh the seasonal swing: the area that hosts five million annual visitors is a different place in February than in August. The buyer profile that typically proceeds here is one pricing in the fit-out costs, kitchen, furniture, possibly a bathroom update, against the value of a central Puerto Banús address with sea views.
The building dates from 1975 (indicative), placing it in the first generation of Puerto Banús construction. No energy efficiency certificate details are recorded in the available data. The interior photographs show a unit in transition: an interior balcony area with renovation work, a hallway photographed during works, and an arched window with balcony views, a period architectural feature typical of the original Mediterranean-style development. The specification as listed is factual and modest: fibre optic connection, WiFi readiness, and accessibility adaptations for people with reduced mobility are confirmed features. The kitchen is explicitly not fitted, and the property is not furnished. This means the effective purchase consists of a shell with services, walls, windows, plumbing and electrical infrastructure of 1970s origin, subject to whatever upgrades previous owners have made, plus a fibre-ready telecommunications connection. Buyers should verify the age and condition of installations during technical due diligence, particularly electrical wiring, plumbing and window glazing, all of which affect both comfort and running costs in a 1970s building. There is no lift, pool, storage room or garage listed in the property data. The east orientation and sea views are structural characteristics rather than finishings, and they are the fixed assets of this unit; everything decorative is variable and comes at additional cost.
The apartment is listed from €500,000 for 79 m² of built surface with two bedrooms and one bathroom. At roughly €6,300 per square metre, the pricing reflects the Puerto Banús address rather than the specification, which requires completion works (unfitted kitchen, no furniture, street parking). Buyers comparing on price per square metre should note that newer developments further along the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, offer larger or newer units at lower entry points, but without the marina-side location. Resale transaction volume in the area totalled 4,743 recorded sales.
Daily life here is structured around the marina quarter. Puerto Banús developed from 1970 onwards as a purpose-built luxury marina and shopping complex, and today it functions as one of the busiest entertainment centres on the Costa del Sol, receiving an estimated five million visitors annually. That scale has a direct consequence for residents: the immediate environment is walkable and dense with amenities, 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 banks and 4 pharmacies within a two-kilometre radius, but it is also seasonal in intensity, quietest outside the summer and festive periods and crowded at peak times. The apartment itself is an east-facing middle-floor unit with sea views, suited to a morning-oriented rhythm: light early in the day, shaded from mid-afternoon. With the beach under 700 metres away and the flat terrain (0.3 per cent slope to the shore), walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport. The photographs indicate ongoing interior works, so the practical living situation begins with a fit-out phase: a kitchen to install, rooms to finish. For a permanent resident, the location supports a car-light lifestyle thanks to nine public transport lines and fifty stops nearby. For a seasonal user, the same infrastructure means the property can be locked up and left without maintenance-heavy grounds. The surrounding residential catchment is well served, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, plus international schools such as the British International School at 4.8 km, though the immediate marina zone is oriented towards commerce and leisure rather than quiet family living.
The immediate environment is the commercial heart of Puerto Banús. Within a two-kilometre radius, the provision data shows 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 banks, 4 pharmacies and a dentist, a density that means almost no daily errand requires a vehicle. The nearest supermarket is 451 metres away and the pharmacy 274 metres. Healthcare is covered at two levels: a health centre within 1.3 km and five health centres in the broader area, with a hospital further afield. Education provision in the wider zone includes 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, plus international options such as the British International School at 4.8 km. Public transport consists of nine lines with fifty stops in the area, connecting towards Marbella centre (7 km) and San Pedro de Alcántara. For recreation beyond the beach, Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre lies 2.2 km away, with climbing (Rocodromo, 2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km) also within range. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint is a 500-metre walk. The practical reading of this data: the location trades tranquillity for convenience. It is walkable, flat and service-dense, with the corresponding noise and foot traffic of an entertainment district that operates year-round but peaks sharply in summer.
The map shows the apartment's position within the Puerto Banús commercial quarter: the marina basin 500 metres south, the beach under 700 metres, and the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía immediately inland. Marbella centre is 7 km east along the coast; Málaga Airport approximately 45 km northeast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús sits at the western edge of Marbella municipality, within Nueva Andalucía, 7 km from Marbella's historic centre and adjacent to San Pedro de Alcántara. Málaga city and its airport lie 45–54 km to the northeast; Algeciras is 59 km southwest. The position places it at the centre of the so-called Golden Mile, Nueva Andalucía corridor, the densest concentration of upscale residential and leisure infrastructure on the Costa del Sol. Estepona lies further west along the same coastal corridor, and the inland golf valley of Nueva Andalucía, Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, Aloha, begins immediately behind the marina basin.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is 686 metres from the property; Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies 1.6 km away and Playa de San Pedro 2.8 km. Golf is well represented: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is 2.2 km away, The Range golf lessons 2.5 km, and Magna Marbella Golf 2.8 km. Marbella centre is 7 km to the northeast, with Málaga city 54 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 45–46 km. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 51 km straight-line. An EV charging point is 325 metres from the door, with Tesla superchargers at Marbella (3.4 km) and Estepona (10 km). The marina itself, Puerto Deportivo José Banús, is 500 metres away. Distances are straight-line unless stated otherwise; road travel times to the airport typically run longer than the straight-line figure suggests, usually around 45–60 minutes depending on traffic on the A-7/AP-7 corridor.

The location sits at 11 metres above sea level with a slope to the beach of 0.3 per cent, effectively flat terrain, which matters for walking, cycling and reduced-mobility access. The climate data records 3,856 sunshine hours per year, an annual average temperature of 19.2°C, and a monthly range of roughly 12–26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, extends to six months of the year. In practical terms, this supports outdoor living from late spring through October, with sea swimming comfortable from approximately May to October. Frost is effectively absent at this altitude on the coast. The east orientation of the apartment means the balcony and principal rooms receive direct sun in the morning and shade from the afternoon onwards, cooler in summer afternoons, but with less late-day light on the terrace. There are no significant green spaces immediately adjacent; the natural environment is the coastline itself and the mountain backdrop visible inland from higher points in the district.

The beach inventory within close range includes Playa de Puerto Banús (686 m), the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.6 km), Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.7 km). Blue Flag status should be verified per season, as designations are reviewed annually. The recreational profile of the area is dominated by the marina and its associated leisure economy: boat berths at Puerto Deportivo José Banús 500 metres away, waterfront dining, and shopping. Golfers have three courses within three kilometres, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Magna Marbella Golf and The Range for practice. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), a climbing wall at Rocodromo (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). Watersports, sailing and seasonal beach clubs operate along this stretch of coast. The 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the area signal a tourism infrastructure that keeps restaurants and services open year-round, unlike quieter coastal zones that shut down off-season.

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, this apartment occupies a different market segment from the comparable new-build developments listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, all eastern or western coastal positions offering new construction, typically with fitted kitchens, communal pools and underground parking included. This property inverts that equation: at approximately €6,300 per square metre it is the most expensive of the set on a price-per-metre basis, yet it delivers a 1970s resale shell requiring a fit-out budget, without parking. What the buyer purchases instead is position, inside the marina district itself, 500 metres from Puerto Deportivo José Banús, under 700 metres from the beach, and within the densest leisure economy on the coast, an area drawing an estimated five million visitors per year and recording 4,743 property transactions in the surrounding market. Marbella centre lies 7 km east, Estepona's newer developments begin roughly 20 km west, and the Nueva Andalucía golf valley sits directly inland with three courses inside three kilometres. The regional trade-off is therefore structural: new-build comfort and completeness in Mijas, Estepona or Torre del Mar versus an established, walkable, high-demand address where renovation costs and street parking are the price of entry. Rental demand context is measurable, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds nearby indicate a year-round visitor economy, unlike the more seasonal eastern Costa del Sol, which is relevant for buyers weighing occupancy potential against purchase price.
