This three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment is located in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, roughly 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús. The property forms part of a residential community originally built in 1980 and has since undergone a full renovation. It offers 132 m² of living space on the ground floor, with a south orientation, a covered terrace facing the communal garden and pool, and one private parking space included in the sale. The asking price is €1,080,000. The surrounding area combines coastal proximity with urban amenities, with a supermarket at approximately 350 metres and a pharmacy at 64 metres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Nueva Andalucía, immediately west of Marbella centre and adjacent to Puerto Banús. The nearest beach lies roughly 300 metres away, and the marina at Puerto Deportivo José Banús is about one kilometre. Three golf courses, including Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Golf Los Naranjos, sit within approximately two kilometres. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is 45 km away by straight line.
The property functions as a full-time residence or a second home. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an en-suite, accommodate families or visiting guests. The ground-floor position with reduced-mobility access and a flat approach to the coast suits buyers prioritising walkability. Air conditioning (hot and cold), WiFi and fitted wardrobes cover year-round comfort requirements. The covered terrace and communal garden and pool provide outdoor living space.
This is not a new-build development. The original construction dates from 1980 (indicative) and the building was completed in that era. The individual apartment has been recently renovated and is described as being in excellent condition, with a contemporary kitchen, Porcelanosa-style flooring and updated bathrooms. The purchase concerns an existing, completed property, so there is no off-plan phase or construction waiting period; the transfer follows standard resale procedures.
The property does not offer a private pool; the pool is communal within the community gardens. There is no private garden, the outdoor space consists of a covered terrace and private terrace area. The listing specifies one private parking space only, with no mention of a garage box or storage room. Sea views are not listed; the views are of the garden and pool. The building dates from 1980, which carries implications for the construction standards of the original shell.
This property aligns with several recognisable buyer situations. The first is the international buyer seeking a walkable coastal base: with a supermarket, pharmacy, beach and restaurants all within a short radius, the apartment functions without a car for most daily needs, relevant for part-year residents who prefer not to maintain a vehicle. The second is the family buyer: three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an en-suite accommodate a household with children or regular guests, and the presence of 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, plus international options such as the British International School at 3.8 km, supports year-round family living. The third is the downsizer or buyer with mobility considerations: the ground-floor position, reduced-mobility access and a near-flat approach to the beach remove the vertical barriers common in apartment living on this coast. The fourth is the golfer or sports-oriented buyer, with three golf courses within roughly two kilometres and additional facilities such as Polideportivo San Pedro and CrossFit Marbella within four. Conversely, the property fits less well for buyers seeking new-build energy specifications, panoramic sea views or full privacy, the pool and gardens are communal, and the building dates from 1980. Buyers prioritising quiet above all should also weigh the proximity to Puerto Banús, which brings seasonal activity.
The apartment has been recently renovated to a contemporary standard, and the available detail points to specific material choices rather than generic claims. Flooring is Porcelanosa, a Spanish premium ceramic brand commonly specified in higher-end Costa del Sol renovations for its durability and finish consistency. The kitchen is described as an American-style (open-plan) installation integrated with the living space, matching the layout visible in the listing photography, which shows a modern living room with an integrated kitchenette. Bathrooms have been refitted; the image material shows marble shower surrounds and contemporary sanitary fittings. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom appears to have an en-suite bathroom, consistent with the three-bathroom configuration for a three-bedroom unit. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, allowing year-round temperature management rather than cooling only. The property is connected for WiFi. The covered terrace and additional private terrace extend the usable living area outward, oriented south toward the garden and communal pool. It should be noted that the original building shell dates from 1980. While the interior has been modernised, the structural fabric, window frames (unless replaced during renovation) and communal installations reflect the original construction period. Buyers undertaking due diligence may wish to verify the building's ITE (technical inspection of buildings) status, community financials and the scope of the renovation works through the notary and community records. The overall condition is listed as 'excellent' and 'recently renovated', with no outstanding works reported.
The asking price is €1,080,000 for a three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment of 132 m², equating to roughly €8,180 per square metre. This positions the property in the established resale segment of Nueva Andalucía, where renovated units near Puerto Banús command premiums over both newer inland developments and comparable coastal projects further east and west. The price reflects the completed renovation, the ground-floor terrace configuration and the inclusion of a private parking space. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) and monthly community fees for the shared gardens and pool. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and ready for transfer.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position between two distinct zones: the residential, garden-heavy streets of Nueva Andalucía and the commercial waterfront of Puerto Banús. The immediate environment is urban, with a pharmacy 64 metres away, a supermarket at 353 metres and an EV charging point at 368 metres, a set of distances that places most routine errands within a five-minute walk. Centro Plaza, with its shops and dining, is close by, and the beach at Puerto Banús is roughly 300 metres from the door. The morning pattern here is largely pedestrian: coffee, groceries and the beach can all be reached without a car, which is uncommon even along this coast. The ground-floor layout and flat terrain (a slope of 0.2% toward the sea) make this practical year-round, including for residents with reduced mobility. The apartment itself is oriented south, so the covered terrace receives sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, with views over the communal garden and pool rather than the sea. Evenings tilt toward the Puerto Banús side of life: restaurants, the marina at about one kilometre, and the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 1.2 km. The area carries a seasonal rhythm, the immediate data shows 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds nearby, meaning summer months bring noticeably more footfall and traffic, while the shoulder seasons are quieter. For golf players, three courses sit within about two kilometres, making morning rounds feasible on foot or by a short drive. The community setting, shared gardens and a large pool, means the immediate surroundings are maintained collectively, and the residential tone of the complex contrasts with the commercial activity at the port.
The surrounding environment is dense and urban in character, with the data confirming a fully serviced neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave. Within a two-kilometre radius, there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, a commercial density associated with central Puerto Banús and Nueva Andalucía rather than outlying residential zones. Healthcare access includes 5 health centres in the area and a hospital at 1.9 km from the property. Public transport is present in the form of 10 bus lines serving 50 stops, connecting the area to Marbella centre (7 km) and San Pedro de Alcántara. For daily provisioning, the nearest supermarket is 353 metres away and an EV charging point sits at 368 metres, with a Tesla Supercharger at 2.3 km. Recreational infrastructure is substantial: three golf courses within about two kilometres, the marina at one kilometre, and sports facilities including Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km and a climbing gym (Rocodromo) at 3.6 km. The seasonal profile deserves attention: with 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the vicinity, the area absorbs a significant summer population, which affects traffic, restaurant queues and beach occupancy between June and September. Outside the high season, the same infrastructure remains operational but considerably calmer. The immediate street setting within the community gardens buffers the apartment somewhat from the busiest commercial streets.
The map shows the property's position in Nueva Andalucía relative to Puerto Banús, where the nearest beach and marina sit within walking distance to the south. Marbella centre lies to the east, and the golf courses of the surrounding valley appear within a two-kilometre radius. Motorway access toward Málaga airport runs northeast.

The location sits at approximately 10 metres above sea level with a slope of 0.2% toward the coast, effectively flat terrain, which distinguishes it from hillside developments in Benahavís or the upper Nueva Andalucía golf valley. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and a range of roughly 12°C to 26°C across the year. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,856 hours per year, among the higher figures for the Iberian Peninsula. The swimming season extends to approximately six months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C, generally May through October. The south orientation of the apartment aligns the terrace and living spaces with maximum daylight exposure, particularly in winter months when sun angle is lower. Natural surroundings include the garden setting of the community itself and the beaches of the Marbella coastline; the nearest natural viewpoint is the Mirador del Muelle de Honor at 1.2 km. The immediate climate data indicates mild winters without frost risk and warm, dry summers moderated by coastal proximity at this low elevation.

The closest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, lies roughly 300 metres from the property, a three to five minute walk. This stretch of coast is backed by the port's promenade and its chiringuitos and restaurants. Further along, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.2 km) is a designated dog-friendly beach, and Playa de Nagüeles (3.1 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km) offer wider sandy sections. Beach information specific to Blue Flag status at individual beaches should be verified with current-season municipal listings, as designations are reviewed annually. Recreational facilities cluster heavily around golf: Golf Los Naranjos (2.0 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.1 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km) form part of the 'Golf Valley' for which Nueva Andalucía is known. The Range at 2.0 km provides practice and lesson facilities. Water-based recreation centres on the Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina (1.0 km), from which boat charters and water sports operate. Land sports include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a municipal sports centre, Rocodromo climbing gym (3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km).

Placed against comparable new-build projects in the wider region, this apartment occupies a different market position. 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 significantly lower entry points. The distinction is threefold. First, geography: Torre del Mar, eastern Mijas and Estepona sit 30 to 80 kilometres further from the Puerto Banús, Marbella core, with correspondingly different price bases per square metre. This property's roughly €8,180 per square metre reflects the Nueva Andalucía premium, where proximity to Puerto Banús, the Golf Valley and Marbella centre concentrates demand. Second, product type: the comparables are new-build developments with current energy certifications and modern communal specifications, whereas this unit is a 1980 building with a renovated interior, buyers comparing the two should weigh new-build efficiency against established-location positioning. Third, use profile: the comparables generally serve holiday-home and mid-market buyers, while this apartment's walkable, ground-floor configuration with three bathrooms and reduced-mobility access addresses year-round residential use. Within Nueva Andalucía itself, properties closer to the golf courses but further from the port trade at somewhat different levels, and hillside units with sea views command premiums that this garden-facing ground floor does not carry. The regional transaction data, 4,743 recorded property transactions in the area, indicates an active and liquid resale market, which is relevant for buyers considering eventual exit. Marbella's resident population of roughly 148,000 and the sustained international demand along this stretch of coast have historically supported the resale segment. The trade-off for buyers is straightforward: at this price point, one buys location and renovation quality in a mature building, rather than new-build specification in a secondary coastal town.
