This key-ready apartment is located in the Las Gaviotas residence within Playas del Duque, on the edge of Puerto Banús in Nueva Andalucía, southwest of Marbella. The property offers 153 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a private covered terrace with pergola, and a reserved underground parking space of approximately 17 m² at basement level minus two. The residence provides 24/7 concierge and security, marble corridors, indoor tropical gardens, and a communal pool. The asking price is fixed at €1,950,000. Completion is documented as 2025, with the home delivered in excellent, recently renovated condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Playas del Duque, a gated residential area beside the Puerto Banús marina, roughly 7 km southwest of central Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and the marina itself with its shopping and dining is about 500 metres from the residence. Marbella centre can be reached within a short drive; Málaga airport is roughly 46 km away in a straight line.
The home is oriented towards the functional requirements of a coastal residence: a south-facing covered terrace usable across seasons, air conditioning for hot and cold operation, central heating, sea and port views, and a communal pool. Practical daily needs are covered by an unusually dense amenity base, with 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks within two kilometres, alongside a 24/7 concierge and secure keycard entry.
This is not a construction-phase development. The apartment is key-ready and described as recently renovated and in excellent condition, with completion documented as 2025, an indicative date. The buyer therefore acquires an existing, finished home: fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, marble floors, smart alarm integration and direct lift access to the basement parking. No construction risk or phased delivery applies.
The property offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms on 153 m², which sets a ceiling on household size it can comfortably accommodate. It is an apartment within a gated community, so outdoor space is limited to the covered terrace and communal areas rather than a private garden. The setting is a busy commercial and tourist area; buyers seeking seclusion or a quiet residential zone will not find that here. A car remains useful for wider regional access.
This property suits a buyer whose priority is location intensity: the ability to walk to the marina, the beach, restaurants and boutiques, with services such as 24/7 concierge compensating for the busy surroundings. It fits a household of one or two people, given the two-bedroom layout, and works well as a second home used intensively during the warmer half of the year, when the roughly six-month swimming season and south-facing terrace are used to full effect. It also matches a relocation scenario in which an international buyer wants an established, low-maintenance base on the coast: the home is finished, renovated and key-ready, with no construction phase to manage from abroad. Investors should note the local rental context: the area records around 4,743 housing transactions per year and hosts 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, indicating a deep short-stay market, though any rental use must be verified against community rules and municipal licensing. The property fits less well for families needing three or more bedrooms, for buyers seeking quiet suburbia, or for those who want a private garden and pool; the offer here is communal and urban. A car is convenient rather than essential for daily life, since nine public transport lines with 50 stops serve the locality, but regional exploration, Marbella at 7 km, golf courses, international schools at 4.8 and 6.9 km, is easier with one.
The apartment has been recently renovated and is presented in excellent condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring, ambient lighting and a fitted kitchen with premium stone worktops, white cabinetry and integrated new appliances. Climate control is comprehensive for the setting: air conditioning is installed for both hot and cold operation with pre-installation noted, and central heating is present, relevant for the winter months when average temperatures fall to around 12°C. The private covered terrace carries a traditional pergola structure, which extends the usable outdoor season beyond the summer peak. Security and building services are a defining element of the residence: a professional 24/7 reception desk, secure keycard entry, glass-skylight atrium lounge, marble corridors, indoor tropical gardens and direct lift access characterise the communal fabric, and the apartment itself has an integrated alarm system. Parking is arranged at basement level minus two, with an approximately 17 m² reserved space and wide driving lanes; the lift runs directly from the residence, so the transition from car to front door is fully internal. Orientation is south-facing, and the property offers sea views, mountain views and views towards the port. As with any individual unit, prospective buyers should verify the exact condition, appliance inventory and community fee structure through an independent technical survey and the community documentation during the purchase process.
The asking price is fixed at €1,950,000 for this specific two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 153 m². This is an existing, key-ready home, not a price-list project, so no from-price applies and no unit selection is involved. The price reflects the position within the Puerto Banús micro-market, where proximity to the marina, sea views and gated-community services carry substantial weight. Storage and parking are included in the form of an approximately 17 m² basement space at level minus two with direct lift access. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Torre del Mar or Mijas, start at far lower figures, but those locations do not offer this concentration of marina amenities and tourism infrastructure.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around one of the most concentrated leisure economies on the Costa del Sol. Puerto Banús was developed in 1970 as a luxury marina and has grown into a destination receiving around five million visitors a year, with high-end shopping, restaurants and bars arranged around the harbour. Playas del Duque sits immediately adjacent to this activity, close enough to walk to the boutiques and the seafront, yet enclosed within a gated compound with concierge control, tropical indoor gardens and marble corridors that buffer the residence from the street. The rhythm of the area is seasonal. In summer, the marina and beaches operate at full capacity and traffic and noise levels rise accordingly; from late autumn to spring the pace drops noticeably, and the outdoor season continues thanks to an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12 to 26°C. The swimming season, with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, spans roughly six months. Within two kilometres, residents have access to 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks, plus five health centres in the wider locality. Sport is well provided for: three golf courses including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, sports centres such as Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.2 km, and CrossFit Marbella at 3.2 km. The apartment itself, with its south-facing pergola terrace, supports year-round outdoor dining and functions as a base from which the marina lifestyle is consumed on foot rather than by car.
The immediate environment combines marina entertainment with a dense service network. Within two kilometres there are 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies, four banks and a dentist, a level of provision that makes daily errands possible entirely on foot. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the locality. Education is served by 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, with international options including the British International School at 4.8 km and The International School of Estepona at 6.9 km. The immediate setting is classified as commercial, beachside and portside: lively by definition, with the crowds and activity that roughly five million annual visitors bring. Practical leisure infrastructure is close: Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.2 km for municipal sports, a climbing facility at 2.8 km, and three golf courses within 2.8 km. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at the Marbella Supercharger, 3.4 km away as the crow flies. Public transport is unusually strong for the coast, with nine lines and 50 stops, connecting the area towards Marbella and San Pedro. The flat terrain, an average gradient of 0.3% to the beach at 11 m elevation, means the walk to the sea involves no significant climb.
The map shows the residence at the edge of the Puerto Banús marina, with the beach 1.6 km to the south as the crow flies and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía a short distance inland. Marbella centre lies 7 km along the coast. The flat terrain and dense road network of this stretch of the Costa del Sol are clearly visible.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies a specific niche on the Costa del Sol: the marina-anchored luxury retail and entertainment pole of the Marbella area, within the Nueva Andalucía district. Marbella centre (147,958 inhabitants) lies 7 km northeast, Algeciras 59 km southwest, and Málaga, the regional capital and airport hub, 54 km away. The location sits between the beach-and-golf belt of Nueva Andalucía and the urban services of Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara, combining both within a short radius. Within the regional hierarchy it is the coastal strip's most internationally recognised address after Marbella old town itself.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km away, with Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.7 km. The Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is about 500 metres from the residence. Marbella centre is 7 km away with its own marinas, and Málaga city, 579,076 inhabitants, lies 54 km to the northeast. Two airports are realistically in range: Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 46 km and Gibraltar at roughly 51 km, giving flexibility in flight routing; Alicante-Elche at about 437 km is not a practical option. Golf is a defining regional feature here, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Nine public transport lines with 50 stops reduce dependence on a car for local trips, though coastal traffic in peak season is a factor to account for in planning journeys towards Marbella or Estepona.

The climate data supports near year-round outdoor use: the average annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The sea reaches 20°C or warmer for approximately six months, defining the swimming season. The site sits at just 11 m above sea level with a gradient of 0.3% towards the beach, effectively flat, so walking and cycling are unimpeded by terrain. Open nature in the immediate vicinity is limited; the landscape is urban and marina-oriented, though mountain views from the property confirm the Sierra backdrop to the north. For green space, residents rely on the golf courses at 2.2 to 2.8 km and the coastal walkways. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 500 m away, offers a sea-facing vantage point within walking distance. The area records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an intensive festive and events calendar.

Beach access is a core feature of the location. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 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 providing alternatives along the same coastline. The swimming season of roughly six months is complemented by the apartment's south-facing covered terrace, which extends outdoor living beyond the summer. Golf is the second pillar of recreation here: three courses, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, The Range and Magna Marbella Golf, sit within 2.8 km, a density matched by few places on the coast. General sport is available at Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), a climbing gym (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). The marina at 500 m functions as the principal recreational hub, with its shopping, dining and events drawing around five million visitors annually. The communal pool within the residence covers daily swimming without leaving the complex.

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 Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a price and position segment that the listed comparable projects do not reach. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) are new-build developments in the eastern and western stretches of the coast, where land values and amenity density are materially lower. Those projects offer modern construction and off-plan pricing, but their settings are residential and their immediate surroundings lack the marina, retail and hospitality infrastructure that defines Playas del Duque. The fixed asking price of €1,950,000 for 153 m², roughly €12,700 per square metre, reflects the established Puerto Banús micro-market, where the annual transaction volume of 4,743 homes and the constant demand from a tourism base of 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds support values at this level. Buyers comparing across the region are therefore weighing different propositions rather than different versions of the same product: the eastern and western new-build projects deliver space and specification per euro; this property delivers an established address, completed and renovated, with walkable access to the marina, three golf courses within 2.8 km, and the security infrastructure of a managed gated community. Marbella centre, 7 km away, offers a broader urban market with its own marinas at 6.3 and 7.6 km; Puerto Banús remains the more internationally recognised retail and leisure anchor of the two.
