This penthouse is located in Medina de Banús, a gated residential community in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, approximately 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús. The property is a completed two-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment of 92 square metres, built in 2009, with a private terrace oriented to the south-east and south-west. The community includes communal gardens, a swimming pool, and lift access. A parking space and storage room are included. The asking price is €1,000,000. Málaga airport is approximately 45 kilometres away.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a specific niche: an established resale penthouse within walking distance of Puerto Banús, priced at €1,000,000 for 92 square metres. Comparable new-build projects listed in the wider region operate in a different segment. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, all materially lower entry points, but located 40 to 80 kilometres from Marbella's marina district and without the walkable beach proximity that defines this address. The comparison illustrates how location, not build year or interior size, drives pricing on this stretch of coast: per square metre, the penthouse asks roughly €10,870, consistent with Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús-adjacent stock, whereas eastern Costa del Sol new-build averages between €3,000 and €4,500 per square metre. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should consider the trade-offs explicitly. The 2009 construction offers completed, viewable condition and an established community with mature gardens, versus new-build warranties and current energy standards. Rental and resale dynamics around Puerto Banús are supported by year-round demand from the marina economy, the concentration of 52 hotels nearby, and accessibility via Málaga airport at 45 kilometres, factors that historically sustain liquidity in this micro-market. Against other Nueva Andalucía options, the property's differentiator is its proximity: at 300 metres from the beach it sits closer to the coast than most of the Golf Valley stock, which typically lies two to four kilometres inland. The offsetting considerations are the compact interior for the price point and the absence of private outdoor facilities beyond the terrace. For the Mediterranean lifestyle that draws international buyers to this coastline, morning sun on a south-facing terrace, a flat walk to the sea, and the Andalusian festival calendar of 32 local holidays, the location provides these within an urban, fully serviced setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in the urbanised area of Nueva Andalucía, directly bordering Puerto Banús and its marina. A supermarket lies 353 metres away and the beach roughly 300 metres, placing daily amenities within walking distance. The area is flat, at approximately 10 metres above sea level, with no significant gradient between the property and the coast.
The apartment combines an upper-floor position with a covered terrace offering sea, mountain, and panoramic views. Two bedrooms and three bathrooms suit couples or small households, with capacity to host guests. Air conditioning (hot and cold) and a fully fitted kitchen support year-round residence as well as seasonal use.
This is not a new-build project. The property was completed in 2009 and is described as being in excellent condition. Buyers purchase an existing, finished home with no construction phase or waiting period; the transaction follows the standard resale process rather than an off-plan payment schedule.
The property offers two bedrooms on 92 square metres of living space, which is compact relative to other properties in this price segment. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. No private garden is included. The parking provision is a single space with a storage room, and no additional plot or land belongs to the unit.
This property fits a buyer prioritising location and walkability over interior floor area. Households of one or two people who want to reach the beach, supermarket, restaurants, and marina on foot will find the immediate radius matches that requirement. It also suits buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave second residence: a completed 2009 property in a gated community with communal maintenance, a parking space, and storage requires limited owner involvement between visits. Buyers who plan to host guests periodically may value the third bathroom relative to the two bedrooms. The profile is less suitable for larger families needing three or more bedrooms or substantial private outdoor space, and buyers wanting a private pool or garden should note these are communal or absent. The flat terrain and short distances to services also make the property workable for owners who prefer not to rely on a car daily, including older buyers assessing long-term practicality. Finally, buyers focused on rental income should evaluate the location's year-round demand around Puerto Banús against the seasonal pattern of the tourist market, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds in the area indicate a strong seasonal visitor economy, with correspondingly variable off-peak activity.
The property was completed in 2009 and is documented as being in excellent condition. The kitchen is fully fitted, with photographic material showing a modern layout with stainless steel appliances and wooden cabinetry. Interior spaces include an open-plan living and dining area with an elegant sofa arrangement, connected to a covered terrace. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, which supports year-round habitability given the regional temperature range of roughly 12 to 26 degrees Celsius average. The terrace includes outdoor furniture and seating areas with sea views. As a 2009 build, the property predates current Spanish new-build energy efficiency standards, and no specific energy label is documented in the available data; buyers prioritising energy performance should request the existing energy certificate as part of due diligence. The building provides lift access to the upper floor. A private parking space and a storage room are included in the sale, which addresses two practical requirements, vehicle security and seasonal storage, that otherwise need separate arrangements in this area. The community's communal areas, gardens, and swimming pool are maintained collectively, and their condition should be assessed during a viewing together with the community fees and any planned maintenance works, as these affect both monthly costs and long-term upkeep of the property's condition.
The asking price is €1,000,000 for a two-bedroom penthouse of 92 square metres, equating to roughly €10,870 per square metre. This positions the property at the upper end of the regional market, reflecting its location within 300 metres of Puerto Banús beach and marina rather than its interior size. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, start at substantially lower entry prices, though these are in different locations with different proximity to the sea and to Marbella's marina district.
Daily life at this address is organised around proximity: the beach at Puerto Banús is a short walk of roughly 300 metres, a supermarket sits 353 metres away, and an EV charging point is 368 metres from the community. This density of walkable amenities means a car is not strictly necessary for errands, though it remains useful for trips further along the coast. The penthouse position on the upper floor, with south-easterly and south-westerly orientation, gives the terrace sun exposure across much of the day, which in a region recording around 3,856 hours of sunshine per year translates into extended outdoor use of the terrace for much of the year. The living and dining area opens onto this terrace, so the 92 square metres of interior function alongside a substantial outdoor room. The neighbourhood of Nueva Andalucía sits between the marina district of Puerto Banús and the golf valley, meaning both the coastal leisure economy, restaurants, cafes, retail, and the inland golf courses are within a two-to-three kilometre radius. The area carries a clear seasonal rhythm: summer months bring tourist activity around the marina, while the off-season is quieter. With 69 restaurants and 10 cafes within two kilometres, the immediate surroundings are urban and service-rich rather than rural or secluded. Residents of Medina de Banús share communal gardens and a swimming pool, which functions as the community's outdoor meeting point.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense. Within a two-kilometre radius, the area counts 69 restaurants, 10 cafes, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies, and a dentist, alongside a supermarket at 353 metres and a pharmacy at 888 metres. Healthcare infrastructure includes 5 health centres in the wider area and a hospital at 1.9 kilometres. Education options are extensive: 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools serve the region, with the British International School at 3.8 kilometres offering an English-language curriculum. Public transport covers the area with 10 lines and 50 stops, providing connectivity towards Marbella and San Pedro without a car. The terrain is flat, elevation is approximately 10 metres above sea level with a gradient of 0.2 per cent toward the beach, which makes walking and cycling practical for most daily trips. The nearest beach by road, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 2.6 kilometres away, while Playa de Puerto Banús lies approximately 300 metres from the property. The seasonal profile matters: with 52 hotels and around 12,781 beds nearby, summer months bring significant visitor numbers, while the October-to-April period is noticeably quieter. Local life includes 32 public holidays per year, reflecting Andalusia's festival calendar.
The map shows the property's position between the Mediterranean coast and the Golf Valley of Nueva Andalucía. Puerto Banús marina and its beach lie immediately to the south, while the golf courses cluster two to three kilometres inland. Marbella centre is a short drive east along the coastal road.

Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 54 kilometres east, while Algeciras is 59 kilometres to the west. The location combines marina-district proximity with access to the golf courses of the interior valley, a combination that defines Nueva Andalucía's position within the regional property market.
Key distances are short. The beach at Puerto Banús is roughly 300 metres away; the marina, Puerto Deportivo José Banús, is one kilometre.

The climate data supports substantial outdoor use. Historical records indicate around 3,856 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 19.2 degrees Celsius, with monthly averages ranging from 12 to 26 degrees. The swimming season, periods with sea temperatures of 20 degrees or above, extends to roughly six months per year, placing beach use mainly between late May and early October. The property sits at approximately 10 metres above sea level on terrain with a 0.2 per cent gradient, meaning no stairs or slopes separate the home from the coast. The south-easterly and south-westerly orientation of the penthouse means the terrace receives morning sun through to afternoon and evening exposure, while the covered section provides shade during peak hours. Mountain views to the north contrast with the sea view toward the south, reflecting the property's position between the Sierra Blanca foothills and the Mediterranean.
