This completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 138 m² is positioned directly on the marina front in Puerto Banús, the purpose-built leisure harbour at the western edge of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property overlooks the harbour and the Mediterranean, with sea, mountain, port and panoramic views listed. The surrounding area is fully urban, with shops, restaurants, beaches and transport within walking distance. Marbella centre lies roughly seven kilometres to the east and Málaga Airport approximately 45 kilometres away. The asking price is €2,390,000 for a ready-to-occupy residence in one of the coast's most visited locations.
Within the western Costa del Sol, Puerto Banús occupies a distinct market segment. Comparable new-build projects listed for contrast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), sit in a different price bracket entirely, typically offering more square metres or outdoor space per euro but without a marina-front position. At roughly €17,300 per square metre, this apartment prices at a multiple of those eastern and western coastal developments, a differential driven almost entirely by address. The nearest functional comparison points are other frontline properties in Puerto Banús itself and Golden Mile residences between the marina and Marbella centre, where resale asking prices at this level are common for harbour-view units. Compared with Nueva Andalucía's golf-side urbanisations 2-3 kilometres inland, quieter, more residential, generally with pools and gardens, this property trades communal space and tranquillity for immediate walkability. Compared with Marbella old town, seven kilometres east, it offers a more modern, commercial environment with less Andalusian character but higher footfall and service density. Buyer considerations differ accordingly: inland and eastern alternatives suit buyers prioritising space, privacy and new-build efficiency standards; this location suits those prioritising view, proximity and rental or resale liquidity in a globally recognised destination. The district's fundamentals, five million annual visitors, 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, 4,743 recorded property transactions in the area, and median provincial income of €16,450 highlighting the wealth concentration this micro-market represents, support sustained demand, though also seasonal crowding. Buyers comparing options should weigh the 1970 construction date against new-build alternatives offering current energy certificates and structural warranties.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the marina complex of Puerto Banús, in the Nueva Andalucía district of Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is around 700 metres away on foot. The immediate environment is commercial and residential, with a supermarket at roughly 450 metres, a pharmacy under 300 metres and more than seventy restaurants within a two-kilometre radius.
The property functions as a lock-up urban residence: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 138 m² of living space with air conditioning throughout. Daily needs, groceries, pharmacy, banking, dining, are met on foot. The marina-side position and view orientation suit buyers seeking a coastal urban base rather than a suburban or rural property requiring a car for every errand.
This is not a new-build project. The property forms part of the original Puerto Banús development, completed in 1970 (indicative), and is offered in completed and reportedly excellent condition. Buyers should expect a refurbished or well-maintained older building rather than modern construction standards, and should verify energy certification, community infrastructure and any recent renovation records independently.
The property offers two bedrooms and 138 m²; it does not provide the space, private garden or private pool of a villa. No communal facilities, parking space, storage room or energy label are recorded in the available data, so these must be confirmed with the seller. Built in 1970, the property lacks new-build warranties and modern construction specifications. The location is busy and touristic year-round, which affects quietness.
This property suits a buyer who wants an established, walkable coastal address with no renovation lead time and no reliance on a car. Recognisable situations include: a second-home buyer seeking a marina-front base with harbour views and immediate access to restaurants and beaches; a buyer prioritising location over internal space, accepting two bedrooms in exchange for one of the coast's most recognised addresses; and a purchaser looking for a rental or capital-holding asset in a high-demand tourist district with five million annual visitors and 52 hotels nearby. It is less suitable for buyers who need silence, large family accommodation, private outdoor space beyond a terrace, or the warranties and energy performance of new construction. The 1970 building date means buyers should commission a technical survey and review the community's maintenance history and fees before committing. Buyers with children should note the international schools, the British International School at 4.8 kilometres, require a short drive. In short, the property fits an urban, service-driven lifestyle where proximity and view quality carry more weight than square metres or tranquillity.
The property is listed in excellent condition with air conditioning installed. Interior photography shows a modernised standard: an en-suite bathroom attached to the principal bedroom, built-in wardrobes, and hallway areas finished with contemporary wall art, mirrors and a sculpture, indicating a recent interior refurbishment rather than original 1970 fixtures. Buyers should nonetheless distinguish between cosmetic renovation and structural or systems renewal. Key verification points for a building of this age include the electrical installation, plumbing, window glazing and insulation, lift condition, and the energy performance certificate, no rating is recorded in the available data. Community elements such as facade maintenance, roof condition and shared infrastructure fall under the community of owners, and monthly fees should be confirmed. Given the frontline position, exposure to salt air and humidity affects maintenance cycles for exterior joinery and metalwork. The listed features, sea, mountain, port and panoramic views, imply upper-floor positioning, which buyers should confirm on viewing, together with orientation, terrace size and parking arrangements, none of which are specified in the dataset.
The asking price is €2,390,000 for the completed 138 m² apartment, equivalent to roughly €17,300 per square metre. This positions the property at the upper end of the Marbella municipal market and well above regional averages, reflecting the frontline marina location rather than the size of the dwelling. No price variation, unit options or included costs are recorded; transfer tax (ITP) on a resale property in Andalucía, notary and registry fees must be budgeted separately. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Torre del Mar, Mijas, Estepona, start between €205,000 and €270,000, indicating the premium attached specifically to this address.
Living here means residing inside one of the Costa del Sol's principal entertainment centres. Puerto Banús was developed in 1970 as a marina and shopping complex and now receives around five million visitors a year. The immediate rhythm of the area is therefore urban and cosmopolitan: boutiques, restaurants, beach clubs and harbour activity define the streetscape, and the atmosphere continues late into the evening during high season. The apartment's position within walking distance of the harbour front means daily errands, a supermarket at roughly 450 metres, a pharmacy under 300 metres, cafes and banks, are resolved on foot. The flat terrain towards the beach (a gradient of about 0.3 per cent) makes walking and cycling practical. Out of season, between November and March, the area quietens considerably while most businesses remain open, as the marina serves both residents and year-round tourism. Buyers should weigh the energy of a marina-front location against the expectation of a tranquil residential street; this is a central, high-footfall address, not a secluded one. The views across the harbour combine sea, mountain and urban panoramas, and the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint is a five-minute walk. For residents, the practical trade-off is clear: maximum proximity to services and waterfront against reduced privacy and ambient noise typical of a commercial marina district.
The immediate radius supports a largely car-free routine. A supermarket sits roughly 450 metres away, a pharmacy 274 metres and an electric vehicle charging point 325 metres. Within two kilometres there are 73 restaurants, nine cafes, four banks and four pharmacies, plus a dentist. Healthcare access is strong for the location: a hospital is recorded at 1.3 kilometres and five health centres operate within the wider area. Public transport is unusually dense for the coast, with nine lines and 50 stops serving the district, connecting towards Marbella centre (7 km), San Pedro Alcántara and Estepona. Education options include 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the region, with the British International School at 4.8 kilometres and The International School of Estepona further west. Traffic congestion around the marina increases markedly in July and August and at weekends, a normal characteristic of the district. Outside the summer months the area functions as a year-round residential and service hub, and the flat terrain makes the beach, marina promenade and shops comfortably reachable on foot or by bicycle.
The map shows the apartment's position on the marina front of Puerto Banús, with the harbour immediately south, beaches within a 700-metre to two-kilometre range and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía a short drive inland to the north. Marbella centre lies east along the coast road.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies the coastal edge of Nueva Andalucía, at the southwestern entrance to Marbella municipality. Marbella's historic centre lies seven kilometres east; San Pedro Alcántara adjoins it to the west; and Estepona is roughly 20-25 minutes by car. The district sits below the 'Golf Valley' of Nueva Andalucía, where Las Brisas, Los Naranjos and Aloha courses cluster. Within the regional hierarchy, it functions as the western Costa del Sol's principal leisure and retail anchor, complementing rather than competing with Marbella's old town, which offers a more traditional Andalusian atmosphere.
Beaches: Playa de Puerto Banús at approximately 686 metres, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.6 kilometres and Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 kilometres. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 45-46 kilometres, about a 45-minute drive via the A-7/AP-7, and Gibraltar Airport at approximately 51 kilometres west. Marbella centre lies seven kilometres to the east, with Málaga city (579,000 inhabitants) at 54 kilometres. Golf: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 kilometres, The Range golf lessons at 2.5 kilometres and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 kilometres, placing three courses within a ten-minute drive. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), Rocodromo (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo José Banús itself and Marbella's Virgen del Carmen, are within easy reach.

The location sits at approximately 11 metres above sea level with a gradient towards the beach of only 0.3 per cent, effectively flat terrain. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,856 hours per year, among the highest in Europe, with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and a range of roughly 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The sea temperature supports a swimming season of about six months at 20°C or warmer, typically May through October. The Mediterranean climate means mild winters with limited rainfall concentrated between November and February, and hot, dry summers moderated by sea breezes at this coastal elevation. Natural surroundings include the beachfront to the south and the Sierra Blanca mountain range visible to the north, providing the mountain views recorded for the property. There are no significant altitude considerations for daily living or accessibility.

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.
