This two-bedroom apartment is situated in Puerto Banús, the marina district of Nueva Andalucía on the Costa del Sol, within the municipality of Marbella. The property measures 123 m², is located on the third floor of a building with a lift, and was completed in 1975. It is offered as a key-ready, fully furnished home with a fixed asking price of €795,000. The apartment holds a tourist apartment licence issued by the Junta de Andalucía, with an authorised capacity for four guests, and has sea views with a south-west orientation. Marbella centre lies approximately 7 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies roughly 500 metres straight-line from the marina itself, in the heart of Puerto Banús. Restaurants, cafés, banks and pharmacies are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, sits 1.6 km away in a direct line, with the terrain essentially flat. Marbella is 7 km away and Málaga 54 km, measured in straight lines.
The layout offers two bedrooms and one bathroom across 123 m², with an open-plan living and dining area and a modern white kitchen shown in the current photographs. Air conditioning and a natural gas boiler provide heating and hot water. The home is sold fully furnished and is documented as being in good condition, which limits immediate renovation work to personal preference.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1975 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The interior has been updated to a contemporary standard, as the photographs indicate. No construction phases, delivery schedules or developer payment structures apply; the transaction follows the standard resale purchase process in Spain.
The property has one bathroom rather than the two or more common at this price level. No private parking space, storage room, communal pool or garden is listed in the available data. The building age of fifty years may carry implications for maintenance reserves and community fees. The 1975 construction predates current insulation standards, reflected in a moderate energy performance rating.

This apartment fits a buyer whose priority is location and rental potential over interior space. Three recognisable situations stand out. First, an investor seeking a licensed holiday-let asset: the tourist licence and four-guest authorisation allow operation from the day of purchase, and the Puerto Banús address commands some of the strongest short-stay demand on the coast. Second, a buyer wanting a lock-and-leave second home: the furnished, key-ready condition and the walkable surroundings remove the practical burdens of managing a property from abroad. Third, a couple or small household planning extended stays who value being at the centre of the Costa del Sol's leisure economy rather than in a quieter residential zone. The profile fits less well for families needing multiple bathrooms, a garden or on-site parking, and for anyone sensitive to summer crowds, the marina district is animated by design, and the annual visitor volume is part of the location's character. The single bathroom is a factual limitation at 123 m². Buyers focused on new-build energy performance should also note the 1975 construction date and the corresponding energy rating, and weigh this against the established location that new developments further along the coast cannot replicate at this price point.
The photographs show a contemporary interior: an open-plan living and dining space, a white modern kitchen, a bedroom with artwork and fitted nightstands, and a hallway finished with wooden slats. The overall impression is of a refurbished apartment rather than an original 1975 interior. Technically, the home is equipped with air conditioning and a natural gas boiler that supplies both heating and domestic hot water, a conventional and easily maintained system for the area. The building itself dates from 1975, which places it before modern insulation and acoustic standards were applied in Spain. In practical terms, this means the energy performance certificate sits at a moderate rating, and heating or cooling costs will depend partly on usage habits and the south-west orientation, which brings substantial afternoon sun. The condition is documented as good, and the sale includes furniture, which reduces the initial outlay for anyone intending to rent or occupy immediately. No information is available in the data regarding recent community-wide renovations such as façade work or lift replacement, so buyers are advised to request the building's maintenance records and community minutes. As with any resale in a fifty-year-old building, the technical survey is a standard step: it will verify electrical installations, plumbing and window quality, none of which are specified in the available data.
The asking price is fixed at €795,000 for the apartment as a whole, which works out at roughly €6,460 per square metre of living area. This is a resale property, so there is no price list or unit variation; the price applies to this specific home with its two bedrooms, one bathroom, 123 m² of floor area, furniture and licence. The tourist licence (VUT/MA/91599) is transferable in the sense that the licence travels with the property's authorised use for four guests, subject to current Andalusian regulations. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, which typically add roughly 10–12% to the purchase price in Andalusia. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around the marina economy of Puerto Banús. The area functions as one of the main entertainment centres of the Costa del Sol, with around 5 million visitors a year, which translates into a dense concentration of restaurants, bars and high-end shops within walking distance, 73 restaurants alone within a two-kilometre radius. The rhythm here is distinctly seasonal: summers are busy and international, while the autumn and spring months are calmer without becoming dormant, given the year-round tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels in the area. The apartment's position on a third floor with a lift gives it separation from street-level noise while retaining views over the sea and marina. Its south-west orientation means afternoon and evening sun, which suits terrace use later in the day and matches the Mediterranean pattern of outdoor dinners. For groceries, pharmacies and banking, everything sits within a short walk. The flat gradient of 0.3% toward the beach makes the area practical on foot or by bicycle. A car is not strictly necessary for daily errands, though on-street parking pressure around the marina is a known characteristic of the district, and public transport covers the area with nine lines and fifty stops.
The surrounding infrastructure is among the densest on the Costa del Sol. Within two kilometres: 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist. Education is well covered at regional level, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, and international options such as the British International School at 4.8 km straight-line. Healthcare access includes five health centres in the district. For sport, Polideportivo San Pedro lies 2.2 km away, with a climbing wall at 2.8 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.2 km. Golf is a defining feature of Nueva Andalucía: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Public transport runs on nine lines with fifty stops in the area. The immediate marina environment, the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint is 500 metres away, is animated year-round, and buyers should expect a lively, cosmopolitan street life particularly from June to September. Distances quoted here are straight-line; actual road routes can be longer.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to the marina, 500 metres as the crow flies, and the surrounding beaches, golf courses and towns of the Marbella area. Marbella centre lies 7 km to the north-east along the coast. Straight-line distances on the map may differ from actual road routes.

Puerto Banús occupies a specific niche on the Costa del Sol: the marina-based entertainment and luxury retail core of the Marbella area, sitting 7 km from Marbella's historic centre and roughly equidistant between Málaga airport (46 km) and Gibraltar (51 km) in straight-line terms. Within the region it is the reference point for nightlife, superyacht berths and high-end shopping, with Nueva Andalucía's golf valley directly inland. Positionally, it offers a combination of walkable density and coastal access that distinguishes it from both the lower-density villa zones of the Marbella municipality and the newer resort developments further west in Estepona.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km as the crow flies, with Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.7 km. The walk to the beach is essentially flat, with a gradient of only 0.3%. Marbella city centre is 7 km straight-line and Málaga 54 km; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 46 km away in a direct line, with Gibraltar Airport an alternative at about 51 km. Given road routing, the drive to Málaga airport typically takes around 45 minutes by car. A car is convenient for reaching golf courses and Marbella's old town but not essential for daily life, since shops and restaurants cluster around the marina. Electric-vehicle drivers will find a Tesla Supercharger in Marbella at 3.4 km and another in Estepona at 10 km straight-line.

The climate data for the area shows an average annual temperature of 19.2 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season extends to roughly six months per year, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20 °C. Elevation is 11 metres above sea level, meaning no notable climbs between the apartment and the coastline. The south-west orientation of the home combines with these conditions to produce long, warm afternoons and evening light over the sea, a practical consideration for terrace use and for cooling loads in July and August. With an average low of 12 °C in winter, heating demand is modest, which matches the gas boiler's capacity. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer half-year, consistent with the general Costa del Sol pattern of dry, sunny summers and brief wet spells in late autumn and winter.

Coastal recreation within easy reach includes three beaches within 3.7 km straight-line: Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.6 km), Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.7 km), the latter two being long sandy stretches typical of the Marbella front. The marina itself, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 500 metres, anchors the district's leisure offer, with two further marinas at Marbella (6.3 km and 7.6 km) offering sailing and dining alternatives. Golfers can reach three courses within 2.8 km, including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of the established clubs of the Nueva Andalucía 'Golf Valley'. For structured sport, Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), a climbing facility (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km) cover most training needs. Evening and weekend leisure is largely centred on the marina's restaurants, bars and shopping, all within a short walk of the apartment.

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.

At €795,000 for 123 m², this apartment prices at roughly €6,460 per square metre, a level consistent with central Puerto Banús, where location and letting potential carry substantial weight in valuation. Comparing it with the current new-build alternatives along the Costa del Sol makes the trade-off clear. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €321,000. All three offer modern construction, current energy standards and developer payment structures, but none of them sits in an established marina district with a granted tourist licence. The value logic here is inverted: buyers pay a premium for a fifty-year-old building because of what surrounds it, a year-round leisure economy, 52 hotels, walkable access to 73 restaurants within two kilometres and the strongest short-stay rental demand on the coast. For an investor, the licence and four-guest authorisation are the differentiating assets; new-build developments in Estepona or Mijas often face community restrictions on holiday letting, whereas this home is already authorised. Against other resale stock in Marbella municipality, the apartment's per-square-metre price is above the Marbella average, reflecting the marina address; homes a few kilometres inland in Nueva Andalucía's golf valley generally trade lower per square metre while offering more space and parking. What the comparable new builds provide in efficiency and amenities, this property counters with immediacy: no construction risk, no delivery delay, furniture included and rental income possible from the first month. The corresponding compromises, one bathroom, no listed parking, pre-1979 construction standards, should be weighed against that equation.
