This partly renovated two-bedroom apartment is located in Las Mimosas, an established beachside community in Puerto Banús, within the Nueva Andalucía area southwest of Marbella. The property measures 163 m² and was completed in 2006. The asking price is fixed at €850,000. The home has two bathrooms, a private terrace overlooking the communal gardens and pool, a parking space of roughly 45 m² and a storage room. A tourist rental licence is already in place. The beach is approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and the marina can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Las Mimosas, a residential community on the edge of Puerto Banús, roughly 7 km from Marbella town centre as the crow flies. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies about 1.6 km away. The marina itself, with its shops, restaurants and nightlife, is around fifteen minutes on foot. The surrounding area is flat, with a gradient to the sea of only 0.3 percent.
The layout offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living and kitchen area created during a renovation around four years ago. The master bedroom has full-height terrace doors with direct access to the private terrace. Communal facilities include a pool, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, spa, steam room and heated plunge pool. A generous parking space and separate storage room cover practical daily needs.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006 and key-ready, not a new-build project. Parts of the interior have been updated by the current owners, notably the kitchen and the master bedroom, resulting in an open-plan living space and improved natural light. No further construction phases or delivery dates apply; the property can be transferred in its current condition.
The renovation is partial, so some parts of the apartment retain their original 2006 finishing. The property has two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. Views are oriented towards the gardens and pool area rather than the sea. Puerto Banús is a busy tourist destination, so the surroundings are livelier than in quieter residential districts.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal home with wellness facilities on the doorstep will find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with an open-plan living area practical for year-round residence. Buyers wanting a second home near the Mediterranean will note the six-month swimming season, the flat walk to the beach and the fact that the apartment is key-ready, avoiding construction lead times. Investors may find the existing tourist rental licence relevant, since it removes one administrative step for holiday letting in a destination with 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 registered beds nearby, indicating sustained visitor demand. The generous parking space and storage room also suit owners who keep a car in Spain permanently, which is common among international residents in this part of the Costa del Sol. The home is less suited to buyers seeking a large family residence, given the two bedrooms, or those wanting a private pool, since swimming facilities are communal. Buyers preferring a quiet, inland or elevated setting should also consider that Puerto Banús is one of the busiest leisure hubs on the coast, with correspondingly lively summers. For owners who value walkability, proximity to the marina and an established community over seclusion, the profile matches well.
The apartment was completed in 2006 and has been partly renovated since. The most significant intervention took place around four years ago, when the kitchen was redesigned and opened up to the living and dining area. The result is a contemporary open-plan space with a fully fitted kitchen and direct access to a separate utility room. In the master bedroom, the original window was replaced with full-height terrace doors, which both improves access to the terrace and increases natural light in the room. The flooring of the private terrace has been renewed. The rest of the interior retains elements of the original construction, so buyers should expect a mix of updated and older finishes rather than a uniform renovation. Climate control includes air conditioning and underfloor heating, which covers both summer cooling and winter comfort. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and a lift serves the building. The communal areas of Las Mimosas are described as well maintained, with tropical gardens, a communal swimming pool and a wellness area containing a Jacuzzi, spa, gym, sauna, heated plunge pool and steam room, with changing rooms and showers. The bathroom shown in the listing photographs is finished in modern tiling with a bathtub. Overall, the technical specification is that of a solid mid-2000s construction with targeted updates rather than a complete refurbishment, and viewing is the appropriate way to assess the condition of the unrenovated sections.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €850,000. This is not a new-build price list; the amount applies to the specific property in its current, partly renovated condition. The price reflects the established character of the Las Mimosas community, the communal wellness facilities and the location within walking distance of both the beach and the marina. Included in the purchase are the private parking space of approximately 45 m², suitable for two cars, and a separate storage room. A tourist rental licence is already in place, which is relevant for buyers assessing rental potential. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Las Mimosas is a long-established beachside community a short walk from the marina of Puerto Banús. Daily life here revolves around the coast: the beach is about 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and the flat terrain between the complex and the sea makes walking and cycling straightforward. The apartment itself opens onto a covered terrace facing the tropical gardens and communal pool, which sets the tone for the morning routine: coffee on the terrace, a swim, and a stroll towards the port. The marina, built in 1970 and now one of the largest entertainment centres on the Costa del Sol with around five million annual visitors, is roughly fifteen minutes on foot. Its designer boutiques, restaurants, cafés and nightlife are therefore part of the immediate surroundings, as are supermarkets, banks and other everyday amenities. The neighbourhood density is high in hospitality terms: within two kilometres there are some 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and 4 banks. This concentration means most daily needs can be met without a car. At the same time, the area is tourist-oriented, and the atmosphere shifts noticeably between the summer season and the quieter winter months. The apartment is 163 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a scale suited to a couple, a small family or a second-home arrangement. The terrace, the wellness facilities and the generous parking make the property practical for extended stays as well as short visits.
Life around Las Mimosas is shaped by the combination of a residential community and one of the Costa del Sol's principal leisure destinations. Puerto Banús records around five million visitors a year, which translates into a wide and year-round supply of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. The immediate two-kilometre radius counts 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, so daily errands rarely require a car. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, along with international schools such as the British International School at 4.8 km as the crow flies and The International School of Estepona at 6.9 km. Public transport is comparatively strong for the coast, with nine lines and fifty stops serving the locality. Traffic and pedestrian volumes peak in summer, and residents who value quiet evenings should factor in the seasonal rhythm of the port area. The community itself, with its gardens and pool, offers a buffer from the busier waterfront. Outside the high season, the area calms considerably while most hospitality businesses remain open.
The map shows Las Mimosas in relation to the Puerto Banús marina, 0.5 km away, and the nearest beach at 1.6 km as the crow flies. Marbella lies 7 km to the northeast. The flat coastal strip and the mountain backdrop behind Nueva Andalucía give the area its characteristic setting.

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, Puerto Banús occupies a specific niche: an established, internationally known marina destination with a year-round leisure economy. This apartment, at a fixed €850,000 for 163 m², is priced at roughly €5,200 per square metre, which is consistent with a mature beachside community in this postcode rather than with new-build developments further along the coast. For comparison, current new-build projects in less central locations start considerably lower: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those projects offer new construction and modern specifications, but in locations with a different position relative to the coast's main leisure hubs. What distinguishes this property is the combination of proximity to the marina, a six-month swimming season, communal wellness facilities, a very generous parking space and an existing tourist rental licence. The licence in particular carries practical weight in a destination that records around five million visitors a year and supports 52 hotels with nearly 13,000 beds, since it removes an administrative barrier for holiday letting. Against Marbella town centre, 7 km away as the crow flies, Puerto Banús is busier and more oriented towards tourism and nightlife, while Marbella's old town offers a more traditional Andalusian urban fabric. Buyers comparing the two should weigh walkable access to the port economy against the quieter residential streets of central Marbella. Housing market activity in the area is substantial, with 4,743 transactions per year recorded locally, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity for owners who may wish to sell later. In short, the property competes on location maturity and letting readiness rather than on new-build specification.
