This two-bedroom, two-bathroom top-floor apartment is situated in Las Mimosas, a gated residential complex in the beachside area of Puerto Banús, on the Costa del Sol. The property offers approximately 227 m² of constructed space, of which 154.92 m² is private residential area, complemented by 80.57 m² of terraces. The building dates from 2006 and the apartment is ready for occupancy. The complex includes communal indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, spa area and sauna, with 24-hour security and controlled access. A private underground parking space is included. The location lies within walking distance of the beach, the marina and everyday amenities, approximately 7 km southwest of Marbella town centre.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in the beachside district of Puerto Banús, in the Nueva Andalucía area, roughly 7 km from Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, lies approximately 686 m away on foot. The marina, with its retail and dining venues, is about 500 m from the complex. A supermarket is within 451 m and a pharmacy within 274 m, placing daily amenities within short walking distance.
The apartment functions as a spacious permanent residence or second home for two people, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a utility room. The 80 m² of terraces support outdoor dining, sunbathing and entertaining across separate zones. The communal facilities, pools, gym, spa and sauna, reduce the need for external memberships. The two-bedroom layout limits household size rather than the floor area, which is unusually generous for this configuration.
This is a completed resale property in a building delivered in 2006, not a new development. The apartment is sold unfurnished with an unfitted kitchen, which means interior finishing works are required before occupation. The structure, communal areas and facilities are established and in use. There is no construction phase or phased delivery schedule; the transfer can proceed through the standard resale purchase process.
The community prohibits tourist rentals, which removes short-term letting as a use option. The apartment has two bedrooms only, despite its 227 m² footprint. The kitchen is not fitted and the property is sold unfurnished, requiring investment in interior works. Views are oriented towards garden and pool rather than the sea. The building dates from 2006, so energy performance and finishes reflect that period rather than current new-build standards.
This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. The first is a couple or single buyer seeking a primary residence or extended-stay second home in the Marbella area, where the two-bedroom layout is sufficient but the 227 m² of constructed space provides generous circulation and living areas uncommon in newer two-bedroom stock. The second is a buyer who intends to renovate: the unfitted kitchen and unfurnished condition allow a full interior redesign, and the dimensions accommodate a bespoke layout without structural compromise. The third is a buyer who values residential stability over rental income, the prohibition on tourist letting removes the holiday-let market entirely, which suits owners who occupy the property themselves and prefer low neighbour turnover. The property fits less well for buyers who need three or more bedrooms, who require a fitted move-in-ready kitchen, or who plan to generate short-term rental returns. Buyers seeking direct sea views should also note that the listed views are towards the communal garden and pool. Households relying on public transport will find 9 bus lines and 50 stops in the area, though the location is primarily oriented towards walking, cycling and private vehicles.
The apartment's original specification reflects the mid-2000s construction period: marble flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes, double glazing and air conditioning are listed features. The en-suite bathroom arrangement for the principal bedroom and the separate utility room are practical inclusions for this configuration. The current condition is unfinished in two respects: the kitchen is not fitted and the property is sold without furniture, meaning the incoming owner commissions both. This is relevant for budgeting, a full kitchen installation and interior furnishing of a 154.92 m² interior represents a substantial additional expenditure beyond the purchase price. The terraces are a structural asset: 62.95 m² of open terrace and 17.62 m² of covered terrace, giving a combined 80.57 m² of exterior space. The building includes a lift, and the private underground parking space is part of the sale. On the communal side, the complex offers indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, spa area and sauna, gated access and 24-hour security, a facility set typical of upper-tier gated communities of this generation on the Costa del Sol. No energy performance certificate rating has been provided in the available data; as a 2006 building it predates current new-build efficiency standards, and buyers prioritising energy performance should request the certificate during due diligence. The tropical gardens shown in the property imagery indicate mature landscaping, consistent with a community established nearly two decades ago.
The asking price is €1,499,000 for a completed, immediately available apartment. Measured against the private residential area of 154.92 m², this equates to approximately €9,680 per m² of interior space, or roughly €6,590 per m² when the terraces are included in the calculation. This positions the property in the upper segment of the Marbella, Puerto Banús market, consistent with the location inside a gated complex within walking distance of the marina. As a resale transaction, the price is a fixed listing price rather than a 'from' price on a phased release. Additional purchase costs, transfer tax (ITP), notary and registry fees, apply separately under Andalusian resale rules.
Daily life at Las Mimosas is organised around the combination of an established gated community and a walkable urban setting. Mornings can begin on the covered terrace, which at 17.62 m² functions as an outdoor room usable for much of the year given the region's average temperature of 19.2°C and roughly 3,856 hours of annual sunshine. The west orientation of the property places the main terrace light in the afternoon and evening, which suits late-day dining and sunset use. Practical errands require no car: a supermarket sits 451 m away, a pharmacy 274 m, and the wider Puerto Banús area offers 73 restaurants, 9 cafés and 4 banks within a 2 km radius. The marina and its promenade are roughly 500 m away, making an evening walk to the port a routine option rather than an excursion. At the same time, the residential atmosphere differs from the immediate marina front. The no-tourist-rental policy of the community reduces visitor turnover, meaning neighbours are predominantly permanent or long-term residents rather than weekly holiday tenants. This affects noise levels, lift use and the general rhythm of the building. The top-floor position adds separation from the communal gardens and pools below. For residents who drive, the private underground parking space is included, and the A-7 coastal motorway connects to Marbella in about 10 minutes and to Málaga airport in roughly 45 minutes. However, the density of amenities within walking distance means a car is optional for daily needs.
Puerto Banús recorded approximately 4,743 property transactions in the surrounding market data, reflecting an active and liquid micro-market. The immediate environment combines residential and resort functions: within 2 km there are 73 restaurants, 4 pharmacies, 4 banks and 9 cafés, so daily needs and dining out are both covered on foot or by bicycle. Healthcare access is solid, a hospital lies 1.3 km away and 5 health centres operate in the area. For families, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools are recorded in the wider zone, with international options including the British International School at 4.8 km and The International School of Estepona at 6.9 km. Tourism is a structural feature: 52 hotels with 12,781 beds operate nearby, and the marina attracts around 5 million visitors annually. In practice this means the marina front is busiest in summer and at weekends, while the residential streets around Las Mimosas, set back from the port itself, maintain a steadier rhythm. Public transport comprises 9 lines with 50 stops, connecting towards Marbella, San Pedro and Estepona. For electric vehicle owners, a charging point is 325 m away and Tesla superchargers are located at 3.4 km (Marbella) and 10 km (Estepona).
The map shows the property in its beachside setting within Puerto Banús: the marina to the immediate south, the beaches along the coastline, and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía a short distance inland. Marbella lies to the northeast along the coast road, with San Pedro de Alcántara to the west, the classic golden triangle of this stretch of the Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies the coastal edge of Nueva Andalucía, 7 km southwest of Marbella and 54 km from Málaga city. Within the regional hierarchy it sits between Marbella's historic centre to the northeast and San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona to the west. Algeciras lies 59 km southwest. The immediate area is one of the densest concentrations of high-end residential and leisure infrastructure on the Costa del Sol, anchored by the marina built in 1970 and the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía inland. The position combines resort-level amenities with proximity to a full-size city in Marbella, which carries a population of nearly 148,000 and the corresponding public services.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is approximately 686 m away on foot; Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 1.6 km and Playa de San Pedro 2.8 km. The slope towards the beach is negligible at 0.3%, making the walk flat and manageable. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) lies roughly 45–46 km away, about a 40–45 minute drive via the A-7/AP-7; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is approximately 51 km to the southwest. Marbella town centre is 7 km, Estepona about 20 km, and both are connected by the coastal motorway. Golf facilities cluster nearby: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Sports centres include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km).

The location sits at 11 m above sea level with essentially flat terrain (0.3% slope to the beach), which distinguishes it from hillside developments in Nueva Andalucía that involve steeper access roads. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.2°C with a range of roughly 12–26°C across the year, and approximately 3,856 hours of sunshine annually, figures consistent with the western Costa del Sol's reputation as one of Europe's sunniest coastlines. The sea swimming season extends to approximately six months with water temperatures at or above 20°C, typically May through October. The west-facing orientation of the apartment aligns its principal terrace light with the afternoon and evening sun, which pairs with the covered terrace for usable outdoor space across most of the calendar year. The microclimate benefits from the coastal position, avoiding the greater temperature swings of inland Andalusia.

Beach access is a defining feature of the location. Playa de Puerto Banús, roughly 686 m away, is the nearest option, followed by Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.6 km, a designated dog beach) and the long stretch of Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km). Playa de Nagüeles lies 3.7 km east. The promenade connects these beaches on foot or by bicycle. Golf is well represented, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of the Costa del Sol's established championship courses, at 2.2 km, plus Magna Marbella Golf and practice facilities within 3 km. The marina itself, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 500 m, functions as the recreational heart of the area, with boat berths, water sports and the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint nearby. Additional marinas at Marbella (6.3 km) and La Bajadilla (7.6 km) extend the nautical options along the coast.

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 western Costa del Sol, this property occupies a distinct market position relative to new-build alternatives. The listed comparables, 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 segment entirely, at roughly one-fifth of the price per unit. Those developments are located further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core and offer new-construction specification but without the established gated infrastructure, the maturity of the surroundings or the walkable proximity to the marina. The relevant comparison for a €1,499,000 purchase in Puerto Banús is not new-build stock in Mijas or Estepona but other resale properties within Marbella, Nueva Andalucía and the Golden Mile, where comparable top-floor units with large terraces in gated communities typically trade in the €8,000–€11,000 per m² range for interior space. What this property offers against newer alternatives is volume: 154.92 m² of interior for a two-bedroom layout is generous by current new-build standards, where the same footprint would typically carry three or four bedrooms. The trade-offs are equally concrete, a 2006 building rather than 2020s construction, an unfitted kitchen requiring works, no tourist-letting permission, and garden and pool views rather than sea views. For buyers focused on the Puerto Banús location itself, the combination of top-floor position, terrace area and the no-rental residential policy is comparatively rare in a market where much of the nearby stock operates as holiday accommodation with corresponding turnover.
