This two-bedroom duplex penthouse is located in the Alcazaba Gardens development in Puerto Banús, on the Costa del Sol. Built in 1983 and now key-ready, the property offers 114 m² of living space across two levels, with three bathrooms, a private roof terrace with sea and La Concha mountain views, and a dedicated parking space with storage room. The marina, beachfront promenade and the restaurants and shops of Puerto Banús are all within walking distance. The asking price is a fixed €1,690,000, with the property sold fully furnished.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in Nueva Andalucía beside Puerto Banús marina, roughly 500 metres from the waterfront. The beachfront promenade is less than a two-minute walk away, and Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies. Marbella centre is 7 km away in a straight line, while Málaga and its airport are around 46 km distant, also measured directly.
The penthouse is arranged across two levels with two bedrooms and three bathrooms, and the upper floor offers scope to create a third bedroom. A south-east orientation provides morning sun, and the private roof terrace includes an outdoor kitchen and bar area. Fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning and full furnishing mean the home can be occupied immediately after purchase.
This is an existing property, completed in 1983 and currently key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to consider; the transfer can proceed once the purchase process is complete. The building dates from the early 1980s, which is relevant context for buyers comparing it with newly built developments elsewhere on the coast.
The property has two bedrooms on 114 m², which is compact relative to its price segment, and the third bedroom is a potential conversion rather than existing accommodation. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The building's 1983 construction date means the layout and technical installations reflect that era, subject to any refurbishment already carried out. No information is available about lift access or community fees.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a lock-and-leave second home directly beside the marina would find the compact two-bedroom layout, full furnishing and included parking practical. A couple relocating permanently to the Marbella area who prioritise walkability over interior space may also consider it, given that restaurants, pharmacies, banks and the promenade are all within walking distance. Buyers wanting a third bedroom without moving can use the conversion potential of the upper floor, though this would require investment and the relevant permissions. The property is equally marketed for rental investment, and Puerto Banús's year-round visitor flow of roughly five million people supports short-term rental demand, subject to local licensing rules. It is less suitable for buyers who need a large family home, a private pool or a quiet residential street: the setting is urban and busy, especially in high season, and the 114 m² living area with two bedrooms places it at the smaller end of its price segment. Buyers comparing against new-build developments should also note the 1983 construction date and assess the condition of the building and community accordingly. In short, the property suits those who value location, views and outdoor living space above interior volume.
The home is presented in a finished and furnished state, with a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and air conditioning throughout. The photographic material shows a modern kitchen, a living room with fireplace and mirrored wall feature, and individually styled bedrooms, indicating that interior updating has taken place at some point. The living area of 114 m² is spread over two levels, with three bathrooms serving two bedrooms, a ratio that adds convenience for guests and residents alike. The private roof terrace is the most substantial outdoor feature: it includes a covered section, a solarium area, an outdoor kitchen and a barbecue, arranged to take in sea, port and La Concha mountain views. As a building from 1983, the underlying structure and common areas date from that period, and buyers will typically want to verify the condition of the roof terrace waterproofing, windows and building services through a technical survey, as would be standard practice for a resale property of this age in Spain. A communal pool is available within the Alcazaba Gardens development. A private parking space and a separate storage room are included in the sale, which removes two common practical obstacles in this district. No specific information is available about the thermal performance of the building, recent community renovations or lift access; these are points to raise during a viewing or through the due diligence process.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,690,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build development with a price list, so there is a single price rather than a range of unit prices. The price reflects the location next to the marina and the inclusion of a private roof terrace, parking space and storage room. For comparison, new-build projects in other parts of the region such as Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona start between roughly €205,000 and €321,950, though those locations are further from Marbella and Puerto Banús. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life at this address is shaped by the immediate presence of the marina and the sea. Mornings can begin on the south-east facing terrace with views over the coast towards the Mediterranean and inland towards the La Concha mountain; the outdoor kitchen and bar area make the solarium usable for most of the year given the regional climate. The beachfront promenade, reachable in under two minutes on foot, functions as the natural extension of the neighbourhood, suitable for walking, running and evening strolls to the marina. Puerto Banús itself operates as one of the main entertainment hubs of the Costa del Sol, with high-end shopping, restaurants and bars concentrated around the harbour. The area receives around five million visitors a year, which means the immediate surroundings are lively, particularly in summer, and quieter in the winter months. Within a 2 km radius there are more than 70 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks, so day-to-day errands can largely be handled on foot. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint is 500 metres away. A car is not strictly necessary for daily living here, although a dedicated parking space and storage room are included with the property, which is a practical advantage in a district where parking is limited. The layout across two floors separates the living spaces from the sleeping area, and the potential third bedroom on the upper level gives flexibility for families, guests or a home office.
The immediate environment is defined by the marina at 500 metres and the sea beyond it. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is the nearest beach at 1.6 km in a straight line, with the terrain essentially flat, a gradient of around 0.3%, so the walk is easy. Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.7 km) offer alternatives, both also measured directly. The density of amenities within 2 km is high: 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies, four banks and a dentist cover most daily needs without a car. Healthcare is served by five health centres in the wider area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School at 4.8 km and The International School of Estepona at 6.9 km for international curricula. Public transport is well developed for the Costa del Sol, with nine lines and 50 stops in the area, connecting the district towards Marbella, San Pedro and Estepona. Electric vehicle owners can use the Marbella Supercharger 3.4 km away. The neighbourhood is urban and animated year-round, with peak activity in summer; buyers seeking tranquillity should weigh this against the convenience the location provides. The proximity of 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds underlines both the service level of the area and its seasonal intensity.
The map shows the property's position beside Puerto Banús marina, 500 metres from the waterfront and a two-minute walk from the beachfront promenade. Marbella lies 7 km east along the coast, with Málaga and its airport roughly 46-54 km to the north-east, all distances measured as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: it is the marina district at the western edge of Marbella, within Nueva Andalucía, and functions as one of the coast's principal leisure and retail destinations. Marbella centre lies 7 km to the east along the Golden Mile, where landmarks such as Puente Romano and the Marbella Club sit a short drive away. To the west, San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona follow the coastline. Málaga (54 km) and Algeciras (59 km) mark the larger urban anchors at either end of this stretch of coast. The district's identity is upscale and international, distinct from both the historic centre of Marbella and the quieter residential zones further inland.
By car, Marbella centre lies 7 km away as the crow flies and Málaga city 54 km; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 46 km in a straight line, with actual road distances longer. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at around 51 km direct, relevant for flights to and from the United Kingdom. Within the immediate area, the marina (0.5 km), the beach promenade and the daily amenities described above are all reachable on foot. Golfers have three courses within 3 km: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km. Sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). The A-7 coastal road and AP-7 motorway connect the district along the coast, although traffic around Puerto Banús is heavy in July and August, and the included parking space is a practical asset during those months. Nine bus lines and 50 stops provide a public transport fallback for those who prefer not to drive daily.

The climate is one of the location's structural advantages. The average annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around six months, which aligns with the outdoor-oriented design of the roof terrace. The property sits at 11 metres above sea level on flat terrain, so there are no significant slopes between the home and the beach; the gradient is approximately 0.3%. The La Concha mountain range behind Marbella is visible from the terrace and contributes to the scenery, while also sheltering the coastal strip from some inland weather systems. Sunshine hours on this stretch of coast are among the highest in Spain, supporting year-round use of the outdoor kitchen, barbecue and solarium. Buyers should be aware that summer months bring sustained heat, for which the air conditioning provides relief, and that the microclimate remains mild enough in winter for continued outdoor living.

The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 1.6 km away in a direct line, with the promenade accessible within a two-minute walk of the property. Playa de San Pedro (2.8 km) is a long, family-oriented stretch of sand, and Playa de Nagüeles (3.7 km) sits towards Marbella. The marina itself, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 500 metres, is the recreational heart of the area, combining boat berths, high-end retail, restaurants and nightlife within a compact waterfront zone. For golfers, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.2 km), The Range (2.5 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (2.8 km) form a cluster of courses in nearby Nueva Andalucía, an area commonly known as the Golf Valley. Other sports options include the Polideportivo San Pedro municipal sports centre, a climbing facility at Rocodromo (2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). For quieter moments, the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 500 metres overlooks the harbour. Together these facilities give the location a broad recreational range, from beach days and sailing to golf and fitness, nearly all within a short drive or walk.

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 Marbella property market, Puerto Banús occupies the upper end of the price spectrum, and this penthouse's fixed price of €1,690,000 for 114 m² reflects that positioning. A useful comparison can be made with new-build developments elsewhere on the Costa del Sol: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950. Those projects offer new construction and, in some cases, more interior space per euro, but they sit in towns further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core and lack the immediate marina setting of this property. What this penthouse offers instead of new-build specification is location density: the marina at 500 metres, a beach 1.6 km away as the crow flies, more than 70 restaurants within 2 km, and three golf courses within 3 km. Marbella centre is 7 km away, and the provincial capital Málaga 54 km, placing the property inside the most established leisure and retail corridor of the coast. Buyers weighing the trade-off typically compare the 1983 construction date and compact two-bedroom layout against the walkability and views of a front-line position near the harbour. Rental demand in the district is supported by roughly 52 hotels and 13,000 beds in the area and a year-round visitor flow, which is a relevant factor for investment-oriented comparisons, subject to current licensing regulations for tourist lets. Median income in the province of €16,450 per year also indicates that the local market for this segment is predominantly international rather than domestic.
