This is a fully renovated ground floor apartment of 124 m² built, situated in Terrazas de Banús, a gated residential community in Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía, southwest of Marbella. The property comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a 16 m² west-facing terrace overlooking communal gardens, and communal facilities including pools, 24-hour security and a paddle court. The beach at Playa de Puerto Banús lies roughly 690 metres away, with the marina, shops and everyday amenities within walking distance. Completed in 2001 and recently refurbished, the apartment is available at €800,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in a consolidated urban area of Puerto Banús, approximately 690 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús and 500 metres from the marina. A supermarket is 450 metres away and a pharmacy 275 metres. Marbella centre is 7 km away; Málaga Airport is roughly 45 km. Nine public transport lines and 50 stops serve the surrounding area.
The layout serves both holiday and year-round use: a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and terrace access, a second bedroom suitable as a guest room or office, and a second full bathroom. The living area opens onto the 16 m² west-facing terrace with direct access towards the pool area. Air conditioning and a lift are present.
This is not a new-build development. The community was completed in 2001 and the individual apartment has been recently refurbished. Delivery is immediate, subject to normal purchase formalities. The building stock is therefore over twenty years old, with renovation works carried out at apartment level rather than at structure level.
The property offers a garden view only; there is no sea view. The second bedroom is compact. Parking and storage are not listed among the included features. There is no private pool; pool use is communal. Furniture is optional rather than included. The terrace is 16 m², limiting large-scale outdoor dining arrangements.
The apartment fits several recognisable situations. A household seeking a car-free holiday base will find the beach, marina, shops and restaurants within walking distance, reducing dependence on a vehicle and rental cars during stays. Buyers planning seasonal or full-time residence benefit from the 24-hour security, concierge and lift, and from nearby services: a pharmacy at 275 metres, a health centre within 1.3 km, and 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, with international schools such as the British International School 4.8 km away, relevant for families relocating permanently. Investors considering a rental asset are operating in a market with strong tourism infrastructure: 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds in the vicinity, plus 4,743 recorded property transactions in the local market, indicate an active demand base. The compact second bedroom makes the property less suitable for buyers requiring two equally sized bedrooms. Households wanting sea views, a private pool or extensive private outdoor space should note these are not part of the offering. Buyers sensitive to noise and crowds should also consider that the Puerto Banús environment peaks in activity during summer months. In short, the property aligns with walkable coastal living and rental potential, and less with secluded or view-oriented requirements.
The apartment has been fully renovated at unit level. Interior photography shows a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, contemporary bathrooms with walk-in showers and vanity units, and a children's bedroom currently furnished. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms. The condition is listed as good and recently refurbished. Climate control consists of air conditioning; underfloor heating or other supplementary systems are not indicated. As a ground floor unit in a building completed in 2001, the underlying structure, façade and common services date from the original construction period, with the community maintaining tropical gardens, swimming pools and a paddle court. A lift serves the building. The terrace is covered and west-facing at 16 m², accessed from both the living area and the master bedroom. Energy performance certification is not stated in the available data; buyers should request the existing certificate, as pre-2007 buildings renovated at unit level often carry a mid-range rating unless systems were upgraded comprehensively. Practical due diligence points include the age and condition of the communal infrastructure, the annual community fee covering security, concierge and garden maintenance, and confirmation of what the renovation included, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical installations and plumbing in particular. Furniture is optional, so the price basis for a furnished versus unfurnished purchase should be clarified in writing.
The property is listed at €800,000, which is a fixed asking price rather than a 'from' price, as this concerns a single resale unit rather than a new-build development with multiple typologies. At 124 m² built, including the 16 m² terrace, this equates to roughly €6,450 per built square metre. The price reflects the recently completed renovation, the gated community facilities and the Puerto Banús address. Furniture is optional and would be subject to separate agreement. Buyers should additionally budget for purchase costs, community fees for the extensive shared facilities, and the IBI annual property tax.
Daily life here is organised around walking distances. The marina, El Corte Inglés department store, designer boutiques, restaurants, cafés, a supermarket at 450 metres and a pharmacy at 275 metres are all reachable on foot, which means a car is not required for routine errands. The apartment's west orientation shapes the rhythm of the day: the terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, so outdoor use tends to concentrate later in the day, while mornings remain shaded, a practical consideration in summer months. As a ground floor unit with direct terrace access towards the pool area, indoor and outdoor space connect without stairs or lifts. The setting is urban and busy. Puerto Banús attracts around five million visitors annually, so the area is noticeably busier in summer and during weekends than in the off-season. Residents seeking quiet surroundings should weigh this against the convenience factor. Within the gated community itself, tropical gardens, several swimming pools, a paddle court, concierge service and 24-hour security provide a buffer from street-level activity. The second bedroom, being compact, works best as a children's room, guest room or home office rather than a full second master suite. For a household of two to four people using the property for holidays, seasonal stays or permanent residence, the layout and the immediate amenity base are the central practical assets.
The immediate environment is dense and service-rich. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data records 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks, plus a supermarket at 450 metres from the door. This density means most daily needs, groceries, pharmacy, dining, banking, are covered on foot. Health infrastructure includes five health centres in the area and a hospital at 1.3 kilometres. Public transport access is comparatively strong for the Costa del Sol: nine lines and 50 stops serve the locality, connecting towards Marbella centre (7 km), San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. An EV charging point is 325 metres away, with Tesla superchargers at Marbella (3.4 km) and Estepona (10 km). Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), a climbing wall (Rocodromo, 2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). The terrain is essentially flat, elevation 11 metres above sea level with a 0.3 per cent gradient towards the beach, which makes walking and cycling genuinely practical rather than nominal. The trade-off is urban character: traffic, footfall and noise levels in Puerto Banús are higher than in residential zones further from the marina, particularly in July and August.
The map shows the property's position within Puerto Banús: the marina roughly 500 metres to the south, the nearest beach just under 700 metres away, and the surrounding density of restaurants, shops and services. Marbella centre lies 7 km northeast along the coast; Málaga Airport is approximately 45 km to the northeast. Golf clubs and further beaches are marked within a three-kilometre radius.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús sits within Nueva Andalucía, southwest of Marbella (7 km, approximately 148,000 inhabitants). Marbella functions as the main urban centre for services, healthcare and administration, while Málaga city (54 km, some 579,000 inhabitants) is the regional capital with the international airport. Algeciras lies 59 km to the southwest. The locality's economy is oriented around tourism and the marina, which has operated since 1970. Within this frame, the apartment's position is central to Puerto Banús itself rather than on its periphery, which distinguishes it from properties in Nueva Andalucía's golf valley or in San Pedro that require driving to reach the marina and beach.
Distances from the property: Playa de Puerto Banús at roughly 690 metres and Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.6 km (both walkable); Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km. The marina and its surrounding retail and dining are about 500 metres away. Golf options begin at Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, 2.2 km, with The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 45–46 km by road, typically a 40–50 minute drive; Gibraltar Airport is a similar distance at 51 km straight-line. Marbella centre lies 7 km away. A supermarket is 450 metres and a hospital 1.3 km from the property. Most of these destinations are reachable without a car, with the airport and golf clubs being the main exceptions.

The climate data supports extended outdoor use: approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year, an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, and a range of roughly 12–26°C across the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around six months, typically May through October. The site sits at 11 metres above sea level on essentially flat terrain (0.3 per cent gradient), so no steep access routes to the beach or amenities. The west-facing terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, which suits late-day outdoor use; mornings on the terrace will be shaded. The Mediterranean climate means mild winters where the terrace and pools remain usable for much of the year, with the hottest summer weeks benefiting from the air conditioning and the proximity to the beach for sea breezes.

The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is roughly 690 metres from the property, under ten minutes on foot along flat terrain. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies 1.6 km away and Playa de San Pedro 2.8 km, with Playa de Nagüeles at 3.7 km extending the choice along the Marbella coastline. Blue Flag status of individual beaches should be verified for the current season, as designations are reviewed annually. Beyond the beaches, recreational infrastructure includes three golf facilities within three kilometres (Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range golf lessons at 2.5 km, Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km), the Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre at 2.2 km, a climbing facility at 2.8 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.2 km. Within the community itself, residents have access to several swimming pools and a paddle court, so swimming and racket sports do not depend on leaving the grounds.

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 wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build developments commonly marketed in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona. Comparable listed 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 €269,000) illustrate the price differential: those entry prices sit at roughly a quarter to a third of this property's €800,000 asking price. The difference is explained by three factors. First, location centrality: this apartment is inside Puerto Banús itself, roughly 500 metres from the marina and under 700 metres from the beach, whereas the comparables are in towns requiring transport to reach equivalent amenities. Second, property type: the comparables are new-build units with modern energy standards, while this is a 2001 building renovated at unit level, a buyer trades construction age for address. Third, market depth: Puerto Banús recorded 4,743 property transactions in the local dataset, supported by a tourism base of 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds, indicating liquid resale and rental demand. Against other Marbella-area options, the property is more central than golf-valley homes in Nueva Andalucía, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is 2.2 km away, so golf remains accessible without living beside it, and more walkable than San Pedro or Estepona developments. Buyers comparing it with newer coastal developments elsewhere should weigh the established community, immediate walkability and security services against newer construction standards, energy certificates and typically larger terraces available at modern projects further from the marina. For the Mediterranean lifestyle buyer prioritising proximity over novelty of build, the Puerto Banús position is the distinguishing variable.
