This is a refurbished three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment of 137 m² in the Casaño area of Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, listed at €825,000. The building dates from 1985 and the unit has been recently renovated. The property sits in an established urbanisation roughly 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús, with a supermarket, marina, and numerous restaurants within short walking distance. The apartment offers a south-east orientation, sea and mountain views, a private covered terrace, air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and access to a communal pool. Marbella centre lies approximately 7 km away; Málaga airport is around 45 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in Nueva Andalucía, immediately adjacent to Puerto Banús. Playa de Puerto Banús is approximately 300 metres away on foot. A supermarket is 353 metres, a pharmacy 888 metres, and the marina roughly 1 km. Three golf courses, including Los Naranjos and Las Brisas, lie within about 2 km. The setting is urban, with services reachable on foot or by bicycle.
The unit functions as a full-sized three-bedroom residence with three bathrooms, suitable for permanent occupation or extended seasonal use. The 137 m² layout includes fitted wardrobes, a private and covered terrace, a lift-served building, and a communal pool. Climate control consists of air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Sea and mountain views are oriented to the south-east.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1985 and the apartment has since been refurbished, with the listing describing its condition as recently renovated and excellent. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule; the property is available in its completed, renovated state. Delivery is therefore immediate upon completion of purchase.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden, or, based on available data, a private parking space or storage room. It is an apartment in a 1985 building, not a modern development, and energy performance certificates are not stated in the available data. Residents share communal pool facilities. No data is provided on 24-hour security or concierge services.
This property fits several recognisable situations. It suits buyers seeking a walkable coastal base near Puerto Banús who prioritise location and renovation condition over new-build specification, the 1985 building fabric is offset by the recent refurbishment of the unit itself. It is relevant for those planning extended stays or full-time residence: three bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodate a family or visiting guests without shared bathroom arrangements. Buyers whose routine centres on golf will find three courses within two kilometres, and the ability to walk to restaurants, the marina, and the beach reduces car dependency for leisure. It also matches purchasers who want a rental-capable asset, given the area's tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds, though rental use is subject to licencing rules that buyers must verify. It is less suited to buyers seeking seclusion, a private garden or pool, generous on-site parking, or the technical specifications and warranties of post-2020 construction. Those wanting a quieter, low-density residential street may find the immediate Puerto Banús fringe too active in summer. Buyers requiring certified energy performance data should request the existing documentation, as it is not included in the listing data.
The apartment is described as recently renovated to an excellent standard, and the available photography supports a modernised interior: a kitchen with wood-toned cabinetry, a bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower, and bedrooms with contemporary decor and natural light. Technical features listed include air conditioning throughout and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a combination appropriate for the local climate, where winter averages around 12°C. The covered private terrace extends the living space and provides weather protection for outdoor use across seasons. Fitted wardrobes are present in the sleeping areas, and the building has a lift, relevant for accessibility. South-east orientation provides morning sun on the terrace with views over both sea and mountains. As a refurbished unit in a 1985 building, buyers should distinguish between the renovated interior and the original structure. Standard due diligence applies: review the building's ITE (technical inspection of buildings) status where applicable, community fees and their coverage, and the energy performance certificate, which is not stated in the available data. The communal pool is shared with the urbanisation. Overall, the specification is that of a well-executed renovation rather than a developer-delivered new build, with no construction warranty in the new-build sense but the practical advantage that all works are already completed and inspectable.
The apartment is listed at €825,000 for 137 m² of built surface, which equates to approximately €6,022 per square metre. This positions the property above regional averages for the Costa del Sol and reflects the established Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús micro-market, where transaction volume (4,743 recorded transactions in the area dataset) and proximity to the marina support price levels. The price applies to a completed, renovated unit with three bedrooms and three bathrooms; no off-plan payment structure applies. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Torre del Mar, Mijas, Estepona, start between roughly €205,000 and €269,950, but these are different locations, build types, and market segments.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position between Nueva Andalucía's residential streets and the commercial strip of Puerto Banús. The nearest beach is a few minutes' walk, and the supermarket at roughly 350 metres makes routine shopping practical without a car. Within a two-kilometre radius the area counts 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, and 3 pharmacies, which indicates a dense, service-rich urban environment that functions year-round rather than only in high season. The morning rhythm is largely pedestrian: coffee, beach walks along the Paseo, and errands on foot or by bicycle. The building's south-east orientation means the covered terrace receives morning and midday sun, with shade later in the afternoon, a practical pattern for breakfast outdoors and for managing summer heat. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and air conditioning cover both ends of the temperature range, relevant given the local average of 19.2°C with seasonal variation between roughly 12 and 26°C. Evenings tend towards the marina and beachfront restaurants within walking distance. The trade-off of this location is activity: proximity to Puerto Banús brings traffic and tourism density in summer months, and the immediate environment is urban rather than quiet residential. Golf residents can reach Los Naranjos, Las Brisas, and Magna Marbella within a short drive, positioning the apartment for a routine that combines coastal access with the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía.
The surrounding environment is dense and service-oriented. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies, and a dentist, alongside 5 health centres and a hospital at approximately 1.9 km. A supermarket sits 353 metres from the door, and an EV charging point at 368 metres. Public transport is comparatively strong for the Costa del Sol: 10 bus lines serve the area via around 50 stops, supporting car-free routines for local trips. Education options within reach include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the broader dataset, with the British International School at 3.8 km for internationally oriented families. The immediate texture of the neighbourhood is urban Marbella: apartment blocks, beachfront promenade, and the commercial activity of Puerto Banús one kilometre away. Mirador del Muelle de Honor, a viewpoint at 1.2 km, and Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km add recreational variety. In practice, residents can conduct most daily activities, shopping, dining, pharmacy, beach, on foot, reserving the car for golf, Marbella's old town (7 km), or airport runs. Seasonality is noticeable: summer months bring tourism intensity and traffic, while the shoulder seasons are calmer with full services still operating.
The map shows the apartment's position between Nueva Andalucía and the Puerto Banús seafront. Key reference points include Playa de Puerto Banús at roughly 300 metres, the marina at 1 km, the supermarket at 353 metres, and the golf courses of the Golf Valley within a 2, 3 km arc. Marbella centre lies 7 km east.

Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) provides full municipal services; Málaga (579,076) is the regional capital and airport hub; Algeciras (121,957) lies 59 km to the west near Gibraltar. The apartment's position on the Puerto Banús fringe places it closer to the marina's commercial activity than to Nueva Andalucía's quieter upper streets.

The location sits at approximately 10 metres above sea level with a slope to the beach of 0.2%, effectively flat terrain, meaning beach access on foot or bicycle involves no gradient. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,856 hours per year, among the highest in Spain, and the mean annual temperature is 19.2°C with a seasonal range of roughly 12, 26°C. The sea remains at or above 20°C for about six months of the year, defining a swim season from late spring through early autumn. For residents, this translates into reliable terrace use from the south-east orientation for most of the year, minimal heating demand moderated by the underfloor bathroom heating in cooler months, and a long outdoor-living calendar. The Mediterranean climate supports year-round walking and cycling, and the flat coastal profile makes the promenade between Puerto Banús and Marbella a practical daily route. Rainfall concentrates in autumn and winter months; summers are dry.

The nearest coastal option is Playa de Puerto Banús at roughly 300 metres, an urban beach adjacent to the marina with chiringuitos and full services. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.2 km) is a designated dog-friendly beach, while Playa de Nagüeles (3.1 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km) offer quieter stretches towards Marbella. Golf is the area's principal recreational asset: Golf Los Naranjos and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas lie within about 2 km, with Magna Marbella at 3.1 km, a concentration that defines Nueva Andalucía as the "Golf Valley". Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a climbing gym at 3.6 km, and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. The marina at Puerto Banús (1.0 km) provides nautical access and waterfront leisure. Water temperatures above 20°C for six months support swimming, paddleboarding, and sailing through the warmer half of the year.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the newer, lower-priced developments along the eastern and western stretches of the coast. Comparable projects cited, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), are new-build developments in locations that trade proximity to Marbella, Puerto Banús for lower entry prices and contemporary construction standards. This property, at €825,000 for 137 m² (roughly €6,022/m²), is priced at the level of the consolidated Nueva Andalucía market, where the combination of walking access to Puerto Banús, the beach at 300 metres, and the Golf Valley's course density underpins sustained demand. The area's transaction dataset records 4,743 transactions, indicating an active resale market with liquidity, a relevant factor for future exit strategies, unlike some emerging locations where resale depth is thinner. The lifestyle trade-offs are equally clear. Nueva Andalucía's Puerto Banús fringe is busier, more seasonal, and more urban than Mijas or Estepona developments; buyers comparing options should weigh walkable services, marina proximity, and golf access against the quieter streets, newer building standards, and lower costs found further from Marbella. As a 1985 building, structural and community-fund due diligence carries more weight here than in new-build purchases, while the completed renovation removes construction-period risk. For buyers prioritising location maturity over new-build specification, the comparison is essentially between premium positioning near Marbella and value positioning in emerging coastal towns.
