Penthouse Las Brisas is a duplex penthouse of 197 square metres in a gated community in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella. The building dates from 1997 and the property has since been fully renovated, including new electrical systems and plumbing. It contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms across two levels, with a south-west orientation, multiple terraces and views towards La Concha mountain and partial sea views. The urbanisation offers two communal swimming pools, landscaped gardens and communal parking. Puerto Banús and its beach lie roughly 300 metres away, while several golf courses sit within a two-kilometre radius.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in Nueva Andalucía, immediately west of Marbella's Puerto Banús. Playa de Puerto Banús is approximately 300 metres away on foot. A supermarket sits 353 metres from the complex and a hospital 1.9 kilometres. Three golf courses, Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and a driving range, lie within two kilometres. Marbella centre is seven kilometres east; Málaga airport 45 kilometres.
The layout serves a household needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms with separated living and sleeping zones across two floors. The main level combines an open-plan kitchen and living room opening onto terraces. Features include fitted wardrobes, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning, central heating, a jacuzzi and both covered and open private terraces oriented south-west.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1997 and the penthouse has undergone a full renovation since, covering electrical installations and plumbing. The condition is listed as recently renovated and excellent. Purchase can proceed without a construction waiting period, as the property is completed and habitable. Delivery dates are therefore immediate rather than indicative.
The property offers two bathrooms, not three or more. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal, shared within the urbanisation. Parking is communal rather than a designated private garage space. The building dates from 1997, so it is not a contemporary new development. Views are partial sea views combined with mountain views, not a full frontline sea panorama.

This property matches a buyer seeking a turnkey, renovated home rather than a new-build purchase with waiting time. The completed renovation, including new electrics and plumbing, removes the most common cost variables in older Spanish apartments, which typically require upgrading of exactly these systems. It suits households that need three bedrooms but accept two bathrooms, a constraint worth weighing for families with teenagers or regular guests. The duplex format and top-floor position work for buyers who prioritise terraces, privacy and views over lift-accessible single-level living. A household that cooks and entertains outdoors will use the covered and open terraces year-round given the climate data: 3,856 sunshine hours annually and an average temperature of 19.2°C. The location suits buyers who want walkability, supermarket, beach, restaurants and Puerto Banús within walking distance, combined with golf access, since three courses lie within two kilometres. It also fits buyers who intend to use public transport or walk rather than depend on a car for daily errands, though regional exploration and airport runs still favour a vehicle. Buyers wanting a private pool, a dedicated garage space or a full sea panorama should note these are not part of the offering. Finally, the €1,149,000 entry level places the property in the upper segment of the coastal market, relevant for budget planning relative to the comparable developments in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona listed above.
The property's technical condition is documented through its renovation scope. The electrical installation and plumbing have been fully replaced, which addresses the two systems that most often require investment in 1990s Spanish buildings. The renovation is listed as recent and the overall condition as excellent. Interior features include underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a jacuzzi, fitted wardrobes and high ceilings, the latter contributing to the natural light levels noted in the interior. Climate control operates on three systems: air conditioning, central heating and bathroom underfloor heating, allowing year-round temperature management across the duplex levels. The south-west orientation supports passive solar gain on the terraces in the afternoon and evening. Exterior elements comprise a covered terrace and an open private terrace, providing use in both strong sun and cooler or windier conditions. The building itself, dated 1997, is a conventional Spanish construction of its period; the listed energy efficiency is not specified in the available data, and buyers should request the energy performance certificate directly. Communal areas include two swimming pools and landscaped gardens maintained through the community. Parking is communal, without a private allocated space. Given the building age, structural and community maintenance status should be verified through the comunidad minutes and any technical building inspection reports, which is standard practice for properties of this vintage on the Costa del Sol.
The property is listed at €1,149,000 for 197 square metres of built area, equating to roughly €5,830 per square metre. The price applies to a completed, renovated duplex penthouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a gated community with communal pools. This positions the property clearly above the regional new-build average: comparable 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), sit in a different price bracket, reflecting Nueva Andalucía's established market position adjacent to Puerto Banús. The listing price is stated as a single figure; availability is immediate as the property is completed.
Daily life at Penthouse Las Brisas follows a walkable urban rhythm. A supermarket 353 metres away covers routine shopping, and the immediate Nueva Andalucía area contains a dense concentration of restaurants, cafés and services, within a two-kilometre radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks and 3 pharmacies. The penthouse sits at the top of its urbanisation, which affects how the home is used: the main floor works as a daytime zone with an open-plan kitchen and living room opening onto the entrance terrace facing La Concha, while upper-level space extends living outdoors onto private terraces with pool, garden and panoramic views. The south-west orientation means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, suitable for outdoor dining in the warmer months. As a duplex, internal movement between levels is part of daily use. The elevated position and height within the urbanisation reduce direct overlooking from neighbouring units. Communal amenities, two swimming pools and landscaped gardens, provide outdoor options without private maintenance responsibilities. A car is not strictly necessary for daily errands: the beach at Puerto Banús is roughly a five-minute walk, and ten public transport lines with 50 stops serve the wider area. For households combining local life with regional travel, Marbella centre is seven kilometres away and the AGP airport 45 kilometres. The area functions year-round rather than seasonally, supported by 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area and five health centres.
The immediate environment combines urban density with resort infrastructure. Within two kilometres, the area counts 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, giving the neighbourhood full daily-service coverage without travel. The supermarket at 353 metres makes routine provisioning a walking errand. Healthcare is reasonably close: a hospital at 1.9 kilometres and five health centres in the wider area. Education options are extensive, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded in the surrounding area, plus international schools such as the British International School at 3.8 kilometres. Mobility data indicates most amenities are reachable on foot or by bicycle, supported by ten public transport lines and 50 stops in the area. The tourism footprint is substantial, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, meaning the area is busier during peak season, particularly around Puerto Banús, one kilometre away. The elevated position of the penthouse within its urbanisation offsets some of this ambient activity. A hospital, an EV charging point 368 metres away, and sports facilities such as Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 kilometres complete the practical infrastructure. Real estate market activity in the area is documented at 4,743 transactions, indicating an active resale and purchase market rather than a dormant one.
The map shows the property's position relative to Puerto Banús and its beach immediately to the south-east, the golf course cluster of Nueva Andalucía's Golf Valley inland to the north, and Marbella centre seven kilometres east along the coast. Marbella's microclimate and flat coastal terrain make the marked walking distances practical year-round.

Nueva Andalucía occupies the zone between Marbella's town centre (7 km east) and the Puerto Banús marina complex at its eastern edge, often described locally as the Golf Valley for the cluster of courses immediately inland. The position places the property within the Marbella municipal area while benefiting from the amenity density of the port district. Regional reference points: Málaga city at 54 km and its airport at 45 km to the north-east; Algeciras 59 km to the south-west; Estepona further along the coast to the west. The property's situation is urban-coastal rather than rural or hillside, distinguishing it from developments in Benahavís or the upper Mijas hills.

The location sits at ten metres above sea level with a slope to the nearest walking beach of 0.2 per cent, effectively flat terrain, which matters for cycling and walking in an area where many Costa del Sol urbanisations sit on hillsides. Climate data records 3,856 sunshine hours per year, an annual average temperature of 19.2°C and a seasonal range of 12, 26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs approximately six months per year. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and the central heating plus air conditioning cover both ends of the temperature range. The La Concha mountain ridge directly behind Nueva Andalucía defines the visual backdrop from the terraces and contributes to the area's sheltered microclimate compared with more exposed coastal zones. Walking and hiking routes into the Sierra Blanca foothills begin a short drive inland.

Within the Costa del Sol market, Nueva Andalucía occupies a distinct position. The listed price of €1,149,000 for 197 m² (approximately €5,830/m²) places this property in the established premium segment immediately inland of Puerto Banús, an area where resale stock built in the 1980s and 1990s, subsequently renovated, forms a large share of supply. This differs structurally from the comparable new-build projects listed: 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 growth corridors east and west of Marbella, where land values and per-square-metre pricing run considerably lower. Buyers weighing this penthouse against those developments are effectively comparing location maturity against specification novelty: the Nueva Andalucía property offers immediate walkability to Puerto Banús, a 301-metre beach distance and three golf courses within two kilometres, whereas the eastern and western alternatives offer new construction standards, contemporary energy efficiency and lower entry pricing but more car-dependent settings. Within Marbella itself, the location is more urban than hillside developments in Benahavís or Sierra Blanca, trading elevation and panoramic seclusion for flat terrain and on-foot access to 69 restaurants and a full service infrastructure within two kilometres. The documented market activity of 4,743 transactions in the area indicates liquid resale conditions, relevant for buyers factoring eventual exit options. The 1997 construction date is a material differentiator against all three comparables: it removes construction risk and delivery waiting time but places the burden of verification on community maintenance records and the building's technical inspection status rather than on a developer's guarantees.
