This two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is situated in the Aldea Blanca gated community in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, approximately 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús. The property measures 83 m² internally with a 20 m² west-facing terrace overlooking the community pool. Built in 1981 and fully renovated in 2016-2017, it includes a Schmidt kitchen with Siemens appliances, air conditioning, double glazing, and fibre optic connection. The community offers 24-hour manned security, four pool areas, an on-site service office, and permits short-term rentals from one week. Listed at €699,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an established urban area of Nueva Andalucía, 300 metres from the beach at Puerto Banús and roughly one kilometre from the marina. A supermarket lies 353 metres away, a pharmacy 64 metres, and several golf clubs within two kilometres. Marbella centre is seven kilometres east; Málaga airport is approximately 45 kilometres.
The apartment suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal base with rental potential. Two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes allow guest use or a home office. The west-facing terrace extends living space for most of the year, supported by two motorised awnings. An on-site service office handles rentals, cleaning, and practical matters on weekdays.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1981 (indicative) and the apartment was fully renovated in 2016 and 2017, including a new kitchen, updated electrics with residual current device, double glazing, and air conditioning throughout. The property is completed and available for immediate use.
The property has one bathroom rather than two, which limits its suitability for larger households. Internal space is 83 m² with two bedrooms. No private pool is included; communal pools serve the complex. No private garden or dedicated garage is listed in the available data. Parking and storage arrangements would need to be confirmed separately.
The property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A buyer seeking a second home that can be managed remotely would find the combination of 24-hour security, a weekday service office, and permitted short-term rentals directly relevant. A buyer prioritising walkability, beach, supermarket, pharmacy, and marina all within a short walk, avoids dependence on a car for daily needs. A buyer wanting rental income during unused weeks benefits from the one-week minimum let policy and Puerto Banús demand. Conversely, the property fits less well for buyers needing two bathrooms, larger internal space, or a private pool. A family requiring three or more bedrooms would find 83 m² restrictive. Buyers seeking a quiet, isolated setting should note the urban surroundings and seasonal tourist activity. Buyers wanting new-build energy ratings or modern building infrastructure should consider the 1981 construction date, albeit with the 2016-2017 renovation addressing kitchen, glazing, and electrical systems. Remote workers are served by fibre optic connection, and EV owners by a charging point 368 metres away. The profile is strongest for couples or small households using the property part-time with letting in between.
The renovation carried out in 2016 and 2017 is documented in material terms. The kitchen is by Schmidt, a German manufacturer, fitted with Siemens appliances and an island unit. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower with built-in seat, storage, and a vanity unit, with underfloor heating in the bathroom listed among the climate features. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and ceiling fans. Windows are double-glazed aluminium, combined with external awnings on the terrace to manage solar gain and running costs. Climate control is comprehensive for this class of property: air conditioning (hot and cold), central heating, a fireplace in the living room, and bathroom underfloor heating. The electrical system was updated with a residual current device, and fibre optic is connected. The original fireplace remains, which the existing description notes as a character element. As a 1981 building, structural and common-element quality depends on community maintenance rather than individual renovation; the community is described as professionally managed with stable finances and fees of €255 per month covering security, four pools, and gardens. Prospective buyers would typically verify renovation documentation, energy performance, and community financial records during due diligence.
The property is listed at €699,000. For an 83 m² two-bedroom apartment, this pricing reflects location rather than size: the position within walking distance of Puerto Banús beach and marina commands a premium over comparable properties further inland. Community fees are stated at €255 per month, covering 24-hour security, four pools, and garden maintenance. Buyers should budget additionally for IBI (property tax), utilities, and rental management costs where applicable. As a completed resale, there is no staged payment structure; the full purchase follows standard Spanish resale conveyancing. Availability is immediate upon completion of the transaction.
Daily life here revolves around walkability and proximity to Puerto Banús. A supermarket at 353 metres and a pharmacy at 64 metres mean routine errands do not require a car, and the beach is under five minutes on foot. The neighbourhood is urban rather than resort-like: restaurants, cafés, and banks cluster within a two-kilometre radius, with 69 restaurants recorded in that zone. The apartment's rhythm follows its west-facing orientation. Mornings are spent indoors or in the shaded garden areas; from midday onwards the 20 m² terrace becomes usable, with two motorised awnings allowing adjustment between full sun and shade. Evening light lasts until sunset over the pool area. The community structure shapes the living pattern. Four pool areas and maintained gardens are shared; a staffed office on weekdays handles rental management, cleaning, and contractor access, which matters for owners who are absent for extended periods. Short-term rentals from one week are permitted, so the property can alternate between personal use and letting. Outside the summer months, the area remains active year-round given its permanent residential population and the 52 hotels and hospitality trade of Puerto Banús nearby. Traffic and footfall increase noticeably in July and August, a seasonal pattern typical of this stretch of coast. Marbella centre, seven kilometres away, provides wider services including healthcare and shopping.
The immediate environment is dense with amenities: within two kilometres there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies, and a dentist, alongside a supermarket at 353 metres and a hospital at 1.9 kilometres. Five health centres serve the wider area, and education provision includes 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with international options such as the British International School at 3.8 kilometres. Public transport is present with 10 lines and 50 stops, giving car-free access along the coast, though many residents use a car for Marbella (7 km) and beyond. Recreational infrastructure is a defining feature: Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina lies one kilometre away, three golf clubs sit within roughly two kilometres, and sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 kilometres. The area is flat, 10 metres above sea level with a 0.2% gradient to the beach, which supports walking and cycling. Seasonal intensity is the main variable: summer months bring higher occupancy across the 52 hotels and 12,781 tourist beds in the area, while the shoulder seasons and winter remain comparatively active given the permanent population.
The map shows the property's position relative to Puerto Banús beach (300 m), the marina (1 km), and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía's Golf Valley (2 km). Marbella centre lies seven kilometres east along the coast; Málaga airport is roughly 45 kilometres northeast.

Nueva Andalucía sits immediately north of Puerto Banús, seven kilometres west of Marbella centre and within the wider Málaga metropolitan region (Málaga city, 54 km, population 579,076). The district is known for its concentration of golf courses and its position between the coastal strip and the Sierra Blanca foothills. The property's position, 300 metres from the beach, one kilometre from the marina, within the urban fabric, places it at the coastal end of Nueva Andalucía rather than in the quieter golf-side urbanisations further inland. Algeciras and Gibraltar lie 52-59 kilometres to the west.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is 301 metres from the property; Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 2.2 kilometres and Playa de Nagüeles 3.1 kilometres. Puerto Banús marina is one kilometre. Three golf courses, Golf Los Naranjos, The Range, and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, lie between 2.0 and 2.1 kilometres away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 45 kilometres (straight-line), typically a 45-50 minute drive; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 52 kilometres. Marbella centre is seven kilometres east and San Pedro Alcántara a similar distance west. Daily services, supermarket (353 m), pharmacy (64 m), and an EV charging point (368 m), are all within walking distance, and a hospital is 1.9 kilometres away.

The location records approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.2°C, with seasonal averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to roughly six months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C. The property sits at 10 metres above sea level on flat terrain (0.2% slope to the beach), meaning no stairs or inclines between the apartment and the coast, relevant for older residents and everyday cycling. The west-facing terrace captures afternoon and evening sun, complemented by two motorised awnings for shade. Climate control within the apartment, air conditioning, central heating, fireplace, and bathroom underfloor heating, covers the full annual cycle, including the cooler December-February period when evening temperatures drop.

At €699,000 for 83 m², this property occupies a different market segment from the comparable new-build projects listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all materially lower entry points, but in locations further from the Marbella-Puerto Banús core. The price differential here is driven by location rather than specification: Nueva Andalucía sits directly behind Puerto Banús, and the property's 300-metre beach distance and one-kilometre marina proximity place it in one of the Costa del Sol's highest-demand micro-locations. Recorded property transactions in the area number 4,743, indicating an active resale market with liquidity. Compared with new-build alternatives, the 1981 construction offers character elements, the original fireplace, mature gardens, and a completed, immediately usable product with no construction risk or phased payments, but without a modern energy certificate guarantee. The rental framework is a differentiator: many newer communities restrict short-term letting, whereas Aldea Blanca permits stays from one week with an on-site management office, supporting income generation. Buyers weighing this property against Estepona or Mijas alternatives are effectively trading price per square metre for proximity, roughly 45 minutes closer to Málaga airport than Estepona, and within walking distance of amenities that the inland Mijas option would require a car to reach. The €255 monthly community fee sits within the regional range for gated communities offering 24-hour security and multiple pools.
