A renovated three-bedroom apartment of 152 m² situated in the heart of Puerto Banús, the marina district of Nueva Andalucía on the Costa del Sol. The property offers panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the harbour, three en-suite bathrooms, an open-plan living area and a terrace oriented towards the sea. The building dates from 1970 and the apartment has been recently refurbished. The asking price is fixed at €2,950,000. The location places restaurants, boutiques and the marina promenade within walking distance, with Marbella roughly 7 km away as the crow flies.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a specific niche: an existing, renovated home at the centre of the coast's most established marina district. The comparison projects listed operate in entirely different segments. 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 new-build developments in quieter, more residential coastal towns east and west of Marbella. Per square metre, those projects generally deliver more space and modern communal facilities for the budget than a marina-centre apartment, but none offers the walk-to-everything position that defines Puerto Banús. The fixed price of €2,950,000 for 152 m² reflects three factors: the address, the view and the condition. Buyers comparing within Marbella itself will find that prices step down quickly with distance from the water: Nueva Andalucía within 2–3 km of the marina, San Pedro de Alcántara and the eastern Marbella beaches all offer larger properties at lower rates per square metre. What those alternatives trade away is the immediacy of the harbour, the 500 m distance to the promenade and the concentration of 73 restaurants within 2 km. A second axis of comparison is property type. New-build projects deliver current building standards, warranties, communal pools and parking, which this 1970 building does not include in the published data. In exchange, the buyer here acquires a position that new construction can no longer replicate in the marina centre, simply because the available land was built out decades ago. Housing activity in the area is substantial, with 4,743 transactions per year recorded in the zone, indicating an active resale market and reasonable liquidity for a property of this type. Median provincial income of €16,450 underlines that this location's buyer pool is national and international rather than local, which typically supports demand across seasons but also means valuations track international sentiment. Buyers weighing this apartment against new-build alternatives should therefore compare on total package, position, view and turn-key condition against space, facilities and build age, rather than on price per square metre alone.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in the centre of Puerto Banús, southwest of Marbella, immediately beside the marina. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies about 1.6 km away in a straight line, and the harbour promenade with Mirador del Muelle de Honor is roughly 500 m from the door. The area is flat, at approximately 11 m above sea level.
The layout serves three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, an open-plan living room with wood panelling and LED lighting, and a terrace with sea and harbour views. The kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau appliances. At 152 m², the floor plan suits year-round residence as well as extended stays with guests, with privacy supported by the en-suite arrangement.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is key-ready following a recent renovation. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies; the property can be transferred in its current refurbished state. Any dates relating to completion refer to the original 1970 build and are indicative.
No communal facilities such as a pool, garden, gym or private parking are recorded for this property, and no plot, energy or cadastral data is published here. The building's 1970 origin means the structure predates current building standards. Puerto Banús is a busy leisure destination with roughly five million visitors a year, which brings noise and activity, particularly in the summer season.
This property fits a buyer seeking a turn-key home in the centre of Puerto Banús without a renovation project. The three en-suite bedrooms suit households that regularly host guests or families who value separate bathrooms for each bedroom. The layout and location also serve those who plan to spend long seasons on the coast and want the marina, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Buyers who prefer quiet, low-density surroundings should weigh the fact that this is one of the busiest entertainment areas on the Costa del Sol, with roughly five million visitors annually. The property is less suited to those seeking new-build construction standards, communal pools, gardens or private parking within the complex, since no such facilities are recorded. The flat terrain and the short distance to the beach, about 1.6 km as the crow flies, make it practical for older buyers or anyone who avoids hills. The fixed asking price positions it in the upper segment of the Marbella market, so it is relevant for buyers with a budget around three million euros who prioritise location and views over square metres; more space per euro is available further from the marina centre. Finally, the 1970 building origin means buyers relying on mortgage financing should anticipate that Spanish banks apply different criteria to older buildings, and an independent technical inspection is a customary step.
The apartment has been recently renovated, and the recorded specification includes Gaggenau kitchen appliances, wood panelling with integrated LED lighting in the living area, and contemporary bathrooms with glass showers and double sinks, consistent with the interior photographs. The open-plan living room connects directly to the terrace, orienting the main living space towards the sea and harbour views. Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, a layout that reduces competition for facilities during busy periods. The building itself dates from 1970, which places the structure more than fifty years old; the renovation applies to the interior rather than the shell. For buyers, this distinction matters: the finish level is current, while the base construction, common areas and building services reflect their era unless separately upgraded. No energy performance data, community fee figures or parking allocation are published in this listing, so these points should be verified during due diligence. Practical checks that buyers in this segment typically arrange include the condition of plumbing and electrics beyond the renovated surfaces, the insulation value of the glazing given the marina's ambient noise, and the community's maintenance plan for the building. The terrace provides outdoor space without garden maintenance obligations, and the images indicate an outdoor lounge area adjoining the master bedroom. Overall, the specification is consistent with a high-standard interior refurbishment of an existing apartment rather than a new-build delivery.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €2,950,000. This is not a price-list project, so no unit variation or from-price applies. The price reflects the location in the marina centre, the recent renovation, the sea and harbour views and the en-suite layout of the three bedrooms. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the Costa del Sol, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), operate in a different segment of the market, both in price and in location type. Availability is immediate in principle, as the property is key-ready.
Daily life here revolves around the marina. The apartment sits within a district built in 1970 around a coastal village layout in Mediterranean style, where high-end shops, restaurants and bars cluster around the water. Within a 2 km radius, the recorded amenity count includes 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, meaning almost every daily errand can be done on foot. The rhythm of the area follows the season: in summer, the marina is at its busiest, with visitors, boats and events; outside the peak months, the pace slows but the hospitality infrastructure remains open, supported by a year-round local population in the wider Marbella area. The terrace and the living room face the sea and harbour, so the marina is part of the daily view rather than a destination that requires a trip. Mornings can start with the walk along the Muelle de Honor, about 500 m away; evenings often centre on the promenade. For groceries and services, the surrounding Nueva Andalucía area offers additional options. The flat terrain, at roughly 11 m elevation with a 0.3% gradient towards the beach, makes walking and cycling practical. A car is not strictly necessary for daily life, though many residents keep one for trips to Marbella, golf courses or the airport. Public transport covers the area with 9 lines and 50 stops, connecting Puerto Banús with Marbella centre and other coastal towns.
The immediate environment is the marina district itself: boutiques, restaurants and bars around the harbour, with the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint about 500 m away. Daily amenities within 2 km include 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies and 4 banks, so practical errands are short. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider region, plus international schools such as the British International School at 4.8 km and The International School of Estepona at 6.9 km, both straight-line distances. Sports facilities nearby include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), Rocodromo (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). The area is busy by nature; with around five million visitors a year and 52 hotels offering nearly 12,800 beds, the district is one of the largest entertainment centres on the Costa del Sol. Residents should expect traffic and footfall in the high season and a quieter, though not dormant, atmosphere between seasons. Public transport is available with 9 lines and 50 stops, and the flat terrain makes the area walkable. For electric vehicle owners, Tesla superchargers are located at 3.4 km in Marbella and 10 km in Estepona.
The map shows the apartment's position at the heart of the Puerto Banús marina, southwest of Marbella. Key reference points include the harbour promenade roughly 500 m away, the nearest beach at 1.6 km straight-line, and the golf cluster of Nueva Andalucía within 3 km. Marbella centre lies about 7 km to the northeast. The Mediterranean lifestyle here is defined by everything being within reach on foot or a short drive.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies a distinct position on the Costa del Sol: it is the region's best-known marina and leisure destination, developed in 1970 and now among its largest entertainment centres. Marbella, 7 km northeast as the crow flies, provides the wider urban context with 147,958 inhabitants. Málaga and its airport lie 54 km and 46 km away respectively, and Algeciras 59 km towards the Strait of Gibraltar. Within the region, the location trades tranquillity for centrality in the leisure and retail landscape of the coast, contrasting with quieter residential areas such as Estepona or Torre del Mar further afield.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km away in a straight line, with Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.7 km. Marbella centre is roughly 7 km away as the crow flies, a short drive along the coast, with its own marina at Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen (6.3 km). Málaga city, with 579,076 inhabitants, is 54 km straight-line, and its airport, Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP), approximately 46 km away; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is roughly 51 km straight-line, offering an alternative for flights to certain destinations. Golf is well represented: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km, all straight-line. Access by car is via the A-7 coastal road and the AP-7 toll motorway, both running through Nueva Andalucía. All distances quoted are straight-line; actual road distances and travel times are longer. Public transport with 9 lines and 50 stops connects the district to Marbella and neighbouring towns, reducing dependence on a car for coastal trips.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to about six months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, which supports beach and outdoor use from late spring through autumn. The location sits at roughly 11 m above sea level with a 0.3% gradient towards the coast, meaning no meaningful slopes between the apartment and the sea. Sunshine hours on this stretch of the Costa del Sol are among the highest in Spain, supporting the outdoor orientation of the terrace and the promenade lifestyle of the marina. The combination of flat terrain and mild winters makes walking practical year-round. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, with long dry summers typical for the region. Buyers sensitive to summer heat should note that average August temperatures around 26°C are moderated by the coastal position, though the marina's hard surfaces retain warmth in the evening during peak season.

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.
