This completed three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment is located in Cumbres del Rodeo, Nueva Andalucía, in the Marbella municipality of Málaga province. Built in 2004 and recently refurbished, the 105 m² property is situated approximately 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the Puerto Banús marina. The apartment forms part of a gated community with communal pool, gardens and lift access, and includes an underground parking space. A tourist licence is in place. The listed price is €955,000.
Within the wider Costa del Sol context, this property occupies a different market segment from comparable new-build listings further east. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) all sit in the €200,000, €270,000 entry band, whereas this apartment is listed at €955,000, roughly three to four times those starting prices. The differential reflects location rather than size: the eastern and western alternatives trade coastal proximity for price, typically positioning buyers at greater distance from consolidated service infrastructure or in earlier-stage developments. Nueva Andalucía's resale market, by contrast, is mature, with 4,743 property transactions recorded in the surrounding area, established community structures and immediate walkability, the pharmacy at 64 m and supermarket at 353 m are literal rather than approximate conveniences. Against other Marbella-zone options, the property's specific position near the Puerto Banús fringe distinguishes it from hillside Golf Valley villas (quieter, car-dependent, larger plots) and from frontline beach developments (higher price points, higher summer exposure). The refurbishment status and tourist licence form the practical differentiators within its own segment: buyers comparing equivalent 2004-era apartments in the district will find stock ranging from unrenovated to turnkey, with the price per square metre here near €9,100 sitting at the refurbished end of that band. For yield-focused buyers, the licence plus the 12,781 tourist beds in the vicinity indicate both an established rental market and the competitive supply that comes with it, a balance best assessed against concrete occupancy data rather than headline assumptions.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in an urbanised coastal area of Nueva Andalucía, roughly 300 metres from the nearest beach and one kilometre from Puerto Banús marina. Marbella centre is 7 km away; Málaga airport approximately 45 km. Supermarkets (353 m), a pharmacy (64 m) and an EV charging point (368 m) are all within short walking distance. Three golf clubs sit within a 2.1 km radius.
The layout serves households needing three sleeping spaces plus a workable separation of bathrooms: two en-suite bedrooms, a third bedroom usable as an office, and a guest toilet. The open-plan living area, covered terrace and south-southwest orientation support daylight use throughout the day. Underfloor heating in bathrooms, air conditioning and central heating cover year-round climate control. A laundry room and fitted wardrobes add practical storage.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 2004 and the apartment has since been renovated and refurbished. Construction is complete and the property is described as move-in ready. No phasing, off-plan reservations or construction-period payments apply. The tourist licence already obtained allows short-term letting subject to compliance with local regulations and community rules.
The property offers 105 m² of built space on a single level; no private pool, private garden or additional plot is included. Parking is limited to one underground space. The community pool and gardens are shared facilities. As an apartment in an urbanisation, no expansion or external modification of the dwelling is available to the owner. The listed price reflects a resale in a mature development rather than a new-build purchase.
Several recognisable buyer profiles map onto this property's specific combination. A household seeking a part-time coastal residence that can be locked up easily between visits benefits from the gated community, lift access and single-level layout. Buyers intending to combine personal use with tourist letting have a concrete advantage here: the licence is already in place, removing an approval process that in Marbella has become more restrictive. A couple downsizing from a villa in the golf valley who want to remain in Nueva Andalucía near the clubs, Los Naranjos and Las Brisas are both about two kilometres away, retain golf access without garden maintenance obligations. Families with one or two children can use the third bedroom and the nearby schooling options; 41 primary and 28 secondary schools are recorded in the surrounding area, including the British International School at 3.8 km. Remote workers needing a dedicated office find that the third bedroom serves this without sacrificing a guest room, given the en-suite configuration. The property fits less well for buyers requiring large private outdoor space, a private pool, or accommodation for extended multi-generational groups, since the built area of 105 m² and shared facilities set clear limits. Equally, buyers prioritising year-round seclusion away from tourist flows may find the summer density around Puerto Banús a mismatch. The flat terrain and walkable amenities, however, suit residents who prefer not to depend on a car for daily needs.
The refurbishment level is documented through the property's specification list and photographic record. Flooring throughout is wooden, applied consistently across living and sleeping areas. The kitchen is fully fitted and, per the image analysis, includes an island with a copper tap fixture, indicating a recent replacement rather than original 2004 installation. Bathrooms show modern vanity units, a double-sink arrangement in one, and walk-in shower enclosures in place of baths. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and direct terrace access, a layout typically associated with the renovation phase rather than the original build. Climate systems operate on three levels: ducted air conditioning (hot and cold), central heating, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Window openings are double-glazed with glass doors, which supports both thermal performance and acoustic separation from the surrounding urbanisation. Storage is addressed through fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a separate laundry room, keeping utility functions outside the kitchen. The 2004 construction date means the base structure, plumbing risers and communal infrastructure predate the interior renovation, a distinction buyers evaluating long-term maintenance should note, as community-level reserves and building condition reports form part of standard due diligence here. The communal areas include a large pool, mature gardens, lift, video-entry and surveillance cameras, giving the building a security and maintenance profile typical of managed Nueva Andalucía urbanisations. An underground parking space is included in the sale. No energy performance certificate value is supplied in the available data; this document should be requested during the purchase process.
The property is listed at €955,000, equating to roughly €9,100 per square metre of built area, a figure consistent with refurbished resale stock near Puerto Banús rather than with inland or eastern Costa del Sol alternatives. As a single resale unit, no price ladder or typology range applies: the listed figure covers the apartment, furniture, refurbishment and one underground parking space. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry), community fees and the annual IBI property tax. The existing tourist licence affects the rental yield calculation and, in some financing scenarios, mortgage conditions. Availability is immediate given the completed and move-in-ready status.
Daily life around this apartment follows the rhythm of a consolidated coastal urbanisation within Nueva Andalucía. The pharmacy at 64 metres and the supermarket at 353 metres place routine errands on foot, which is a defining characteristic of the location rather than an occasional convenience. Within a two-kilometre radius, the environment records 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks and 3 pharmacies, indicating a dense service layer typical of the Puerto Banús fringe. The apartment's south-southwest orientation means the terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, which shapes how the outdoor space is used: breakfast in shade, late-day use in direct light, and mountain-to-sea views across the bay. The third bedroom functions as either a children's room or a workspace, allowing the dwelling to alternate between family occupation and a two-person residence with a study. Two en-suite bedrooms reduce morning scheduling conflicts for a household of three adults or a family with older children. The neighbourhood sits at 10 metres above sea level with a near-flat 0.2% slope toward the coast, so walking and cycling require little physical effort. Public transport is present in the wider area, 10 lines and 50 stops are recorded, though most residents in this segment rely on private cars for regional trips. The beach at Puerto Banús is a few minutes' walk; the marina, one kilometre away, concentrates dining and leisure activity. Seasonally, the area shifts character: the 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 tourist beds in the vicinity generate pronounced summer activity, while the shoulder months are quieter. For a permanent resident, this means accepting summer footfall and traffic density as a trade-off for off-season calm and walkable services.
The immediate environment functions as an extension of Puerto Banús rather than as a separate district. Within a two-kilometre radius, the density figures, 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, describe an area where dining and service options are effectively unlimited for daily purposes. Health infrastructure includes five health centres in the wider area, a hospital at 1.9 km and a pharmacy 64 metres from the door. For recreation, Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a climbing facility (Rocodromo, 3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km) cover organised sport, while the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint (1.2 km) offers a coastal walk destination. Transport operates on 10 public lines with 50 stops recorded, providing connections toward Marbella centre and San Pedro, though service frequency is oriented to local rather than commuter demand. The EV charging point at 368 metres and the Marbella Supercharger at 2.3 km address electric vehicle needs. Education within reach includes 41 primary and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School at 3.8 km and The International School of Estepona at 7.9 km covering international curricula. The 32 local public holidays per year and the pronounced summer season define the area's calendar: June to September brings peak visitor numbers, while October to May returns the neighbourhood to a predominantly residential tempo.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to Puerto Banús and the surrounding coastline. Key reference points include the beach at 301 m, the marina at 1 km, three golf clubs within 2.1 km and Marbella centre 7 km east. The flat terrain between the property and the sea is visible in the contour pattern.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies the coastal shelf immediately north and west of Puerto Banús, within the Marbella municipality (147,958 inhabitants). Marbella centre lies 7 km east; Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants) is 54 km northeast along the coast; Algeciras sits 59 km southwest toward Gibraltar. The district's position between the marina and the Golf Valley gives it a dual character: urban convenience at the Puerto Banús fringe and low-density residential zones around the courses. Property transactions recorded in the surrounding area total 4,743, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity. The provincial median income of €16,450 provides limited comparative context for this price segment, as the immediate area operates on a distinctly different market level.
Distances from the property are measured in straight lines: Playa de Puerto Banús at 301 m is the nearest beach, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 2.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.1 km extending the coastal options. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina lies one kilometre away. Golf access concentrates in the Valle del Golf: Los Naranjos and The Range at 2.0 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.1 km and Magna Marbella at 3.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport (AGP) sits approximately 45 km away, typically 45 to 55 minutes by car depending on traffic on the A-7/AP-7, while Gibraltar airport is 52 km in the opposite direction. Marbella centre is 7 km and San Pedro Alcántara begins roughly 3 km west. The flat terrain (0.2% slope, 10 m elevation) makes the beach and marina reachable on foot for most residents without physical strain.

The climate record shows an annual average temperature of 19.2°C with a monthly range of 12, 26°C, and 3,856 sunshine hours per year, figures consistent with the Marbella coastline's sheltered position between the Sierra Blanca and the sea. The swimming season extends to roughly six months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, framing sea use from late May through October. At 10 metres above sea level with a 0.2% gradient toward the coast, the property has no altitude-related exposure: no stair climbs, no slope navigation, and negligible wind channelling compared with hillside developments further inland in Nueva Andalucía. The south-southwest orientation aligns the terrace with afternoon and evening sun, which in practice means the brightest use window falls in the second half of the day. Winters remain mild by northern European standards, and the installed combination of underfloor bathroom heating, central heating and hot-air air conditioning covers the full temperature band the location experiences.

The coastal strip closest to the property offers several distinct options. Playa de Puerto Banús, at 301 metres, is the daily-use beach: immediate access, urban services and the activity level that comes with the marina front. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.2 km) is designated dog-friendly, a specific feature for residents travelling with pets. Playa de Nagüeles (3.1 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km) extend the range westward along Marbella's municipal coastline, where Blue Flag designations are common across the municipality's managed beaches, current-year status should be verified during the purchase process. Recreation beyond the beach concentrates on golf: Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Magna Marbella form part of the "Golf Valley" for which Nueva Andalucía is known, all within a 3.1 km radius. Water-based activity centres on Puerto Deportivo José Banús at one kilometre, where charter, sailing and nautical services operate. Organised sport facilities, the San Pedro sports centre, climbing gym and CrossFit box, lie between 2.9 and 3.8 km away.
