A fully renovated three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment of 169 m² situated on the second floor in the centre of Puerto Banús, on the Costa del Sol. The property faces south and offers views over the marina and the Mediterranean Sea. It forms part of a building completed in 1970 in the Nueva Andalucía area, southwest of Marbella. The apartment has an open-plan living and dining area of more than 50 m², a custom-designed fitted kitchen, air conditioning (hot and cold) and a private parking space in a secure underground garage. The asking price is fixed at €1,595,000 and the home is key-ready.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in the heart of Puerto Banús, the marina complex in Nueva Andalucía southwest of Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies about 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and the marina itself is roughly 500 metres away. Marbella centre is 7 km straight-line, with shops, restaurants and banks concentrated within walking distance in the immediate commercial area.
The layout provides three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a combined living and dining space of over 50 m² suited to regular entertaining or extended family use. Air conditioning covers both warm and cool seasons, and the south orientation brings daylight into the principal rooms for most of the day. A private underground parking space is included.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970, when the marina development opened, and the apartment has since been fully renovated and refurbished. It is available key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Any completion or handover dates in this context are indicative and subject to the sales process.
The property is an apartment within an established 1970s building, so it does not offer new-build warranties, a private garden or a private pool. The data provided lists no communal facilities such as a swimming pool, gym or storage room. Buyers seeking a modern development with shared amenities or a newly constructed structure should factor in the age of the building.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating to the Costa del Sol who wants to be walking distance from restaurants, shops and the seafront, without depending on a car for daily life, will find the location addresses that directly. A second-home buyer seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-go base near the marina benefits from the secure entrance, the underground parking and the manageable apartment format. Families with older children or regular guests may value the three en-suite bathrooms, which allow independent use of each bedroom. Buyers focused on rental potential should note the pull of Puerto Banús itself: 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds within the area indicate consistent visitor demand, and around 4,743 housing transactions per year point to an active local market. The property is less suited to buyers who want a private garden, a private pool or the amenities of a modern resort-style development; the building predates those concepts. It also requires a budget at the upper end of the regional resale market, so it competes with renovated apartments in Marbella old town and Nueva Andalucía rather than with new-build projects further along the coast.
The apartment has been fully renovated, with the works described as recent in both the condition records and the listing. The interior is organised around an open-plan living and dining area of more than 50 m², connected by large windows and sliding doors that carry the view from the kitchen sightline through to the marina. The kitchen is custom-designed and supplied fully equipped with premium appliances. Each bedroom has been decorated in its own colour scheme, matched to the corresponding en-suite bathroom, giving the three sleeping areas a consistent interior identity. Climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, covering the seasonal range of the local climate, where monthly average temperatures run from roughly 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. Security measures include a high-security entrance door and premium fittings throughout. Parking is handled by a private space in a secure underground garage, a practical feature in an area where surface parking is limited during peak months. As with any resale property in a 1970 building, buyers should verify the state of the communal structure, building regulations and any community maintenance plans through the standard due-diligence process, since the renovation record of the individual apartment does not automatically cover shared elements of the block.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,595,000. This is an existing, resale property in a completed 1970 building, not a new development with a price list, so the price applies to this specific home rather than serving as an entry figure for a range of units. The price reflects the renovation carried out, the 169 m² of living space, three en-suite bedrooms, the marina and sea views, and the private parking space in the underground garage. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready. Delivery dates are indicative and depend on the completion of the standard Spanish purchase process, including notary scheduling.
Daily life at this address revolves around the marina quarter. Puerto Banús developed from 1970 onwards as a luxury harbour and shopping complex in Mediterranean architectural style, and it now functions as one of the main entertainment centres of the Costa del Sol, drawing around five million visitors a year. For a resident, that means the immediate surroundings combine high-end shops, restaurants, bars and harbour activity with the practical density of a mature commercial area: 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks within a 2 km radius. The apartment sits on the second floor with a south orientation, so the living spaces and bedrooms receive sun through the middle of the day and the windows frame the port and the sea beyond. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons. In summer, the marina and beaches are busy well into the evening; outside the high season, the neighbourhood quiets down while most shops and restaurants remain open year-round given the permanent population of Nueva Andalucía and Marbella nearby. The nearest beach is roughly 1.6 km away as the crow flies, an easy walk along the seafront. The flat terrain (a gradient of about 0.3% to the beach) makes walking and cycling realistic options for short trips, and nine public transport lines with 50 stops in the area reduce dependence on a car for everyday errands, although the included underground parking space covers longer journeys. Evening routines can include a walk to the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, about 500 metres from the door.
The surroundings are defined by the marina and the commercial strip around it. Within 2 km, the data lists 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies, four banks and a dentist, alongside five health centres in the broader area. Education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international schools such as the British International School at 4.8 km and The International School of Estepona at 6.9 km, both measured in a straight line. Public transport is comparatively strong for the Costa del Sol: nine lines and 50 stops serve the area, connecting Puerto Banús with Marbella centre 7 km away and with San Pedro de Alcántara to the west. Road distances are longer than straight-line figures suggest. Málaga, the provincial capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 54 km as the crow flies, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport about 46 km; Gibraltar airport is some 51 km straight-line, which broadens the flight options for international owners. For electric vehicles, Tesla superchargers operate at Marbella (3.4 km) and Estepona (10 km). A car remains convenient for exploring inland Andalusia, but daily life around the marina, the beaches and the shops can largely be managed on foot.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: the marina anchor between Marbella (7 km northeast) and Estepona to the west, inside the Nueva Andalucía district. It sits closer to the coastline's premium retail and dining cluster than almost any other address in the region, at the cost of a busier, more tourist-oriented environment than residential areas inland. Málaga city and its airport lie 46-54 km to the northeast, and Gibraltar about 51 km southwest, giving the location two international airports within reach.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 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. The gradient from the apartment to the shore is about 0.3%, effectively flat, so the walk is undemanding. Marbella centre sits 7 km straight-line to the northeast, while Algeciras is 59 km away to the southwest. Golf is close: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range golf lessons at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), Rocodromo (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). Two airports serve the area: Málaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 46 km straight-line and Gibraltar at about 51 km, both requiring a drive that takes longer than the direct distance implies. Public transport and the private underground parking space together cover most movement needs.

The location sits at 11 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, so there are no steep walks between the apartment and the seafront. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C; monthly averages range from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in the warmest. The swimming season extends to roughly six months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, which places the practical beach season from late spring into autumn. For a resident, this translates into mild winters where heating needs are limited, warm summers where the air conditioning in both hot and cold modes is relevant, and long stretches of the year where outdoor life around the marina and beaches is comfortable. The immediate landscape is built-up harbour frontage rather than open nature, with mountain views further inland along the coast.

Beach access centres on Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, 1.6 km straight-line from the apartment, followed by Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.7 km). All distances are as the crow flies; actual walking routes are somewhat longer. The recreation offer around the marina includes harbour-side strolls to the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, half a kilometre away, and water-based activity from Puerto Deportivo José Banús, also roughly 500 metres from the door. Golfers can reach three courses within 3 km: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, The Range and Magna Marbella Golf, placing the apartment within a short drive of the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía. Fitness options include CrossFit Marbella, a climbing facility (Rocodromo) and the municipal sports centre of San Pedro. With 52 hotels in the immediate area, the leisure infrastructure of restaurants, bars and nightlife operates year-round rather than closing after summer.

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.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build projects commonly listed further along the coast. Comparable developments 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) offer new construction at considerably lower entry prices, but in locations that do not carry the immediate marina setting of Puerto Banús. The €1,595,000 asking price here reflects three factors that those projects cannot match at their price points: a central position inside one of the region's best-known marina districts, direct port and sea views from a south-facing floor, and a walkable commercial environment with 73 restaurants within 2 km. The trade-off is structural: the building dates from 1970, so buyers do not receive new-build construction standards, modern communal facilities or the warranties attached to recently completed developments. Buyers comparing options should also weigh activity levels. Torre del Mar and Mijas are quieter, more residential towns with longer beaches and less tourist traffic; Estepona offers a mix of old-town living and new seafront development. Puerto Banús, by contrast, hosts 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds, meaning the area remains lively outside the summer and services stay open year-round, at the price of constant visitor presence. For buyers whose priority is a turnkey home in the heart of the marina district with parking included, few alternatives exist this close to the water; for those prioritising new construction, space or a quieter setting, the inland and western alternatives listed above deliver more square metre per euro.
