This completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in Puerto Banús, the marina district of Nueva Andalucía on the southwestern edge of Marbella. Built in 1970 and recently renovated, the 104 m² dual-aspect property sits in a dense urban environment with shops, restaurants and services within walking distance. The beach at Playa de Puerto Banús lies approximately 686 metres away, and Málaga Airport is roughly 45 kilometres along the coast. The listed price is €540,000. The apartment offers sea views, air conditioning for hot and cold use, marble flooring and double glazing.
Within the western Costa del Sol, Puerto Banús occupies a distinct market position. The €540,000 asking price for 104 m² places this apartment at roughly €5,200 per square metre, a level consistent with the marina district rather than the wider region. Comparable new-build listings further along the coast illustrate the spread: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. These are, however, different products, new-build developments in secondary locations, versus a renovated resale apartment in one of the coast's most commercially concentrated addresses. A more meaningful comparison set lies within Marbella itself. Nueva Andalucía, the residential area immediately inland, offers quieter streets and larger properties at broadly comparable per-square-metre pricing but with less walkability. San Pedro de Alcántara, 2.8 kilometres west, provides a more traditional Spanish town environment with lower headline prices. Estepona, 20-plus kilometres west, has become the focus of new construction on the coast, delivering modern energy standards and communal facilities that a 1970 building cannot match, at prices 40 to 50 per cent below this listing. What Puerto Banús offers in exchange is concentration: 73 restaurants within two kilometres, the marina at 500 metres, three golf courses within 2.8 kilometres, and the visitor economy that sustains rental demand, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds in the immediate area. For buyers weighing this property, the relevant question is whether the address premium compensates for the absence of new-build specifications and communal amenities, and that assessment depends on intended use: as a lock-and-leave second home or rental asset, the location carries weight; as a permanent family residence, alternatives in Nueva Andalucía or San Pedro may deliver more space and quiet for comparable expenditure.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the commercial heart of Puerto Banús, a marina and shopping complex developed in 1970 within Nueva Andalucía, southwest of Marbella. A supermarket is 451 metres away, a pharmacy 274 metres, and the marina itself roughly 500 metres. The setting is urban and pedestrian-friendly, with nine public transport lines and fifty stops serving the wider area.
The property functions as a turn-key urban residence or second home. Its dual north-south orientation, en-suite bathroom and recently renovated condition address everyday living requirements. Marble flooring, double glazing and hot/cold air conditioning are installed. With 104 m² across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout suits couples or small households prioritising proximity to services over space.
This is not a new-build development. The building originates from 1970 and the apartment has been recently renovated, with completion already achieved. There is no construction phase or phased delivery schedule to consider; the property is available in its finished state. Interior features described include natural stone floors, wood accents and Mediterranean decoration in neutral tones.
The listing provides no data on parking, storage, communal pools, gardens or gym facilities. There is no information on energy certification, community fees or building works. The building dates from 1970, so modern new-build standards should not be assumed. The 104 m² footprint and two-bedroom layout limit capacity for larger households.
This property matches a specific set of circumstances rather than a general search. It is relevant to buyers who want a renovated, ready-to-occupy apartment in the centre of Puerto Banús and who accept a 1970 building in exchange for the location. Typical situations where this profile works include a second home used for part of the year, where walkability to restaurants, the marina and the beach removes the need for a car; a rental investment, given that the district contains 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds, indicating sustained visitor demand; or a permanent base for a couple or single professional working in or near Marbella, seven kilometres away. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with en-suite accommodates guests but is not sized for large families. It fits buyers who prioritise location and interior condition over communal amenities, since no pool, garden or parking facilities are documented in the listing. It fits less well for those seeking quiet, since the commercial centre of Puerto Banús operates late into the evening during high season, or those wanting new-build energy performance, which a 1970 structure cannot guarantee without certification data. Buyers sensitive to summer crowds should weigh the seasonal intensity of the district against the convenience it provides. In short, the decision rests on whether the Puerto Banús address, sea views and turn-key condition justify the price relative to quieter or newer alternatives in Nueva Andalucía, San Pedro or Estepona.
The interior specification, based on the listing and image analysis, reflects a recent renovation rather than original 1970 construction. Flooring is marble, described in the listing as natural stone, which is a durable and regionally conventional choice for this market segment. Double glazing is installed, relevant for acoustic insulation in a busy commercial district as much as for thermal performance. Climate control consists of air conditioning units capable of both hot and cold operation, covering the apartment's two bedrooms and living areas. The decor combines neutral tones, wood accents and Mediterranean detailing; one bedroom features tropical wallpaper with bedside lamps, and another a large mirror with neutral furnishings. Photographic analysis indicates a marina-facing balcony on a white building, sea views from the principal rooms, and views toward the mountains from the building. The dual north-south aspect provides cross-ventilation and light from both directions. The building itself dates from 1970; no data is provided on the condition of communal elements, the building façade, lifts or structural maintenance. Energy certification is not documented, which is not unusual for resale stock of this age but means running costs cannot be precisely estimated. Buyers should verify the age and warranties of the renovation works, the electrical installation and the community's maintenance plans through the standard due diligence process. Overall, the finish level is consistent with a recently updated resale apartment in a premium location, current and well-presented, but not comparable to the technical specifications of contemporary new-build developments elsewhere on the coast.
The listed price is €540,000 for a 104 m² two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, equivalent to roughly €5,190 per square metre. This positions the property well above the regional average for the Costa del Sol; 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, reflect lower-price markets further along the coast. The premium here attaches to the Puerto Banús address rather than to the building itself. The price should be treated as a starting point for negotiation, with transfer tax, notary and registry costs additional.
Daily life around this apartment is defined by the rhythm of Puerto Banús itself. The marina district receives an estimated five million visitors annually, which means the immediate environment is busier and more commercial than residential zones elsewhere in Marbella. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks, so everyday errands, a supermarket run to the shop 451 metres away, a pharmacy 274 metres away, are handled on foot. The dual north-south orientation of the apartment provides natural light throughout the day, with the south side oriented toward the sea. The interior layout follows a conventional Mediterranean pattern: an open-plan living-dining area, a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom and bathroom. The recently completed renovation means the finishes, marble flooring, double glazing, hot and cold air conditioning, are current rather than original to the 1970 building. Noise and activity levels in the centre of Puerto Banús vary considerably by season; summer months bring peak visitor traffic, while the winter period is markedly quieter. Residents who value calm above convenience may find the commercial setting intense, whereas those who want walkable access to restaurants, boutiques and the marina will find most needs met within a short radius. An electric vehicle charging point is 325 metres away, and public transport, nine lines with fifty stops, connects the district to Marbella centre, seven kilometres northeast, and San Pedro de Alcántara to the west. A car is not strictly necessary for daily life here, though parking in the area is a known constraint for which no listing data is available.
The immediate environment is dense, commercial and highly walkable. A supermarket sits 451 metres from the apartment and a pharmacy 274 metres, meaning daily essentials are a five-minute walk. Healthcare access includes five health centres within the wider area and a hospital 1.3 kilometres away. Educational provision in the district includes 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the surrounding region, with international options such as the British International School 4.8 kilometres away and The International School of Estepona 6.9 kilometres away. Mobility is a strength of the location: nine public transport lines with fifty stops connect Puerto Banús to Marbella, San Pedro and Estepona, and an electric vehicle charging point is 325 metres away, with Tesla Superchargers at Marbella (3.4 km) and Estepona (10 km). The trade-off for this density is seasonal intensity. With five million annual visitors, the streets around the marina are considerably busier in July and August than between November and March. Off-season, the district retains its services but operates at a lower tempo, which many permanent residents describe as the more liveable period. Recreational infrastructure nearby includes the Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre at 2.2 kilometres, a climbing facility (Rocodromo) at 2.8 kilometres and CrossFit Marbella at 3.2 kilometres.
The map shows the apartment's position in the commercial centre of Puerto Banús, minutes on foot from the marina and the beach, with Marbella seven kilometres northeast along the coast. The golf courses of Nueva Andalucía begin roughly two kilometres inland, and the A-7 coastal road connects the district westward toward Estepona and Gibraltar.

Puerto Banús occupies the coastal edge of Nueva Andalucía, seven kilometres southwest of Marbella's historic centre and immediately east of San Pedro de Alcántara. Within the regional hierarchy it functions as the commercial and leisure focus of the western Marbella coastline. Málaga, the provincial capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 54 kilometres northeast, while Algeciras is 59 kilometres southwest. The district's position between Marbella and Estepona places it within reach of both the established golf valley of Nueva Andalucía and the growing residential belt toward Estepona.
Playa de Puerto Banús is approximately 686 metres from the apartment on foot, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.6 kilometres and Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 kilometres. The marina itself, Puerto Deportivo José Banús, is about 500 metres away. Golf provision is strong: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas lies 2.2 kilometres away, The Range golf lessons at 2.5 kilometres and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 kilometres. Marbella city centre is seven kilometres northeast; Málaga, the provincial capital, is 54 kilometres with its airport at approximately 45-46 kilometres by road. Gibraltar Airport is around 51 kilometres in the opposite direction, offering an alternative for UK connections. The flat terrain, the apartment sits at roughly 11 metres above sea level with a 0.3 per cent gradient toward the beach, makes the entire route to the sea manageable on foot without stairs or significant slopes.

The climate data for this location indicates a mean annual temperature of 19.2°C, with average temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. Historical sunshine totals reach approximately 3,856 hours per year, among the highest figures recorded in mainland Spain. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, extends to roughly six months. The apartment sits at 11 metres above sea level on essentially flat terrain, with a gradient toward the beach of only 0.3 per cent, relevant for accessibility on foot and for drainage during heavy autumn rainfall. The immediate setting is urban rather than natural, but the surrounding coastline offers beaches within 686 metres to 3.7 kilometres (Playa de Nagüeles), and the Sierra Blanca mountain range behind Marbella is visible from the building according to the image material. The Mediterranean climate supports outdoor use of the balcony and surrounding terraces for most of the year.

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.
