This corner penthouse is situated in the Marina Banús complex in the heart of Puerto Banús, on the Costa del Sol. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 97 m² of living space, complemented by an expansive wraparound terrace with panoramic sea and port views. Built in 1970 and presented in good condition, it features a south-facing orientation, a jacuzzi on the terrace, air conditioning, marble flooring and access to a communal swimming pool and padel court. The asking price is fixed at €2,300,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands in central Puerto Banús, within walking distance of the marina, beaches, restaurants, shops and a cinema. The José Banús marina lies approximately 0.5 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 1.6 km in a straight line. Marbella centre is 7 km away, while Málaga airport is roughly 46 km distant.
The layout serves both family living and guest use, with three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom and a family bathroom. The lounge-diner connects to the wraparound terrace through floor-to-ceiling windows, and the jacuzzi extends outdoor use. Hot and cold air conditioning allows year-round occupation. A lift, fitted wardrobes and a storage room add practical everyday convenience.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Completion dates and renovation milestones do not apply here; the transaction concerns a finished, second-hand apartment in an established complex with communal facilities already in operation.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking space listed in the data. There is no mention of underfloor heating, a fireplace or a gym within the home. The living area of 97 m² is modest relative to the terrace, and no plot or land belongs to the apartment. Buyers seeking new construction or a detached villa will not find those features here.
This penthouse suits buyers who want to be in the centre of Puerto Banús rather than in a quieter residential district. It fits those who value walking access to the marina, restaurants, shops and the beach over space and tranquillity. A buyer planning extended stays or permanent residence on the coast would benefit from the year-round air conditioning, the lift access and the proximity of pharmacies, health centres and supermarkets. It also matches the profile of someone seeking a lock-up-and-go second home: the communal pool and padel court remove the maintenance burden of a private garden or pool, while the storage room and fitted wardrobes keep the interior practical. Families with guests will find the three-bedroom layout with an ensuite workable, though the 97 m² interior is compact for a household that spends most time indoors. Buyers who prioritise outdoor living will value the wraparound terrace more than the floor area. Conversely, this is not the right property for someone seeking silence, a private plot or new construction; the building dates from 1970 and the area is animated year-round. Investors may weigh the strong rental demand of central Puerto Banús against the seasonality and noise. In short, the property answers the wishes of a buyer who wants a sea-view terrace in the middle of one of the Costa del Sol's best-known marina districts.
The interior is finished with marble flooring throughout, a material typical of higher-end Costa del Sol apartments of this era, valued for its durability and cool surface in summer. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge-diner maximise the sea views and natural light. The property is fitted with hot and cold air conditioning, allowing temperature control across all seasons. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom alongside the family bathroom. The condition is described as good, and the photographic material shows a maintained terrace with lounge and dining furniture, a jacuzzi and views over the sea, the port and the surrounding rooftops. The building itself dates from 1970, which has two practical implications. First, construction standards of that period differ from current regulations on insulation and energy performance; buyers may wish to have a technical survey assess the installation state. Second, an established complex of this age has a maintenance history that is usually visible in the communal areas, including the pool and padel court. A lift serves the building, and a storage room comes with the apartment. No data is available on recent renovations of the kitchen or bathrooms, so buyers should verify this during a viewing. Overall, the finishing level appears consistent with a well-kept resale property rather than a recently refurbished unit.
The asking price is fixed at €2,300,000 for this existing three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 97 m² with its wraparound terrace and jacuzzi. This is not a price-list project, so there is no range of unit types or from-price; the figure applies to this specific corner unit in the Marina Banús complex. The price reflects the central Puerto Banús address, the panoramic sea and port views and the south-facing orientation. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary fees and registry fees, which are not included in the asking price. Community fees for the complex apply on top.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around the terrace and the immediate surroundings of Puerto Banús. The corner position and south-facing orientation give the wraparound terrace sun exposure across most of the day, with open sea views to the front and side. Mornings can start on the terrace with a view over the Mediterranean; evenings can end at the jacuzzi with the lights of the marina in the background. The lounge-diner flows directly onto this outdoor space through floor-to-ceiling windows, which makes the 97 m² interior feel larger and ties indoor and outdoor living together. The neighbourhood itself is one of the busiest entertainment areas on the Costa del Sol, attracting around five million visitors a year. That means restaurants, bars, designer shops and a cinema are all within a short walk, but also that the area is lively, particularly in summer and at weekends. Within two kilometres there are 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies and four banks, so daily errands require no car. The communal swimming pool and padel court in the Marina Banús complex provide recreation on site. For quieter moments, the beach at Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint is just 0.5 km from the door. The rhythm of life here is urban and coastal at once: intense in high season, noticeably calmer in the winter months when the tourist flow subsides.
Life around the penthouse is defined by the marina economy of Puerto Banús. The José Banús marina, with its luxury yachts, boutiques and waterfront restaurants, is roughly 0.5 km away on foot. Within two kilometres, the area counts 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four pharmacies, four banks and a dentist, giving residents everything needed for daily life without a car. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the wider area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international schools such as the British International School at 4.8 km. Tourism infrastructure is substantial: 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds operate in the area, which explains the busy summer atmosphere and the calmer winter rhythm. For sports, Polideportivo San Pedro lies 2.2 km away, and CrossFit Marbella and a climbing facility (Rocodromo) are within 3.2 km. Public transport is well developed for a location of this size, with nine lines and 50 stops, connecting Puerto Banús to Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara. An electric-vehicle charging point is available at the Marbella Supercharger, 3.4 km away. The terrain is flat, with an average gradient of 0.3% towards the beach, so walking and cycling are practical. A car is useful for excursions but not strictly necessary for daily errands.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Puerto Banús occupies a distinct position on the Costa del Sol: it is the marina and entertainment heart of the Marbella area, lying 7 km southwest of Marbella centre and about 54 km from Málaga. The area belongs administratively to Marbella's Nueva Andalucía district. Within the regional hierarchy, it sits between the historic centre of Marbella and the resort towns of Estepona towards the west. Its combination of yachting facilities, high-end retail and 52 hotels makes it one of the coast's principal visitor magnets, with around five million visitors annually.
The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 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. Three golf courses sit within a short radius: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km, The Range at 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 2.8 km, all measured as the crow flies. Marbella city centre, with almost 148,000 inhabitants, is 7 km away, while Málaga and its 579,000 residents are 54 km distant. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 46 km away in a straight line; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is about 51 km. Actual road distances and travel times are longer than these straight-line figures. Public transport covers the area with nine lines and 50 stops, and the flat terrain makes walking to the marina and beach easy. By car, the coastal A-7 motorway connects Puerto Banús to Marbella, Estepona and the wider region.

The location sits at just 11 metres above sea level on flat coastal ground, with a gradient of 0.3% towards the beach, which means no stairs or steep streets between the apartment and the shore. The climate is typical of the western Costa del Sol: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 19.2°C. The swimming season lasts about six months, during which sea water stays at or above 20°C. This combination supports outdoor use of the terrace and the communal pool from late spring into autumn, while the mild winters keep walking and cycling comfortable year-round. The south-facing orientation of the penthouse maximises sun exposure on the wraparound terrace, which matters both for outdoor living and for passive warming of the interior in winter. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, so the terrace remains usable through the main season. The flat coastal strip and the nearby Sierra Blanca foothills behind Marbella give the terrace its layered views of sea, port and mountains.

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 Costa del Sol market, this penthouse occupies a different segment from the new-build projects typically 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 modern construction and communal amenities at entry prices between roughly €205,000 and €322,000. Those projects target buyers prioritising new build quality, energy standards and payment plans, generally in quieter residential settings. This property, by contrast, is a 1970 resale in the most central and best-known marina district of the Marbella area, priced at €2,300,000 as a fixed asking figure. The price premium buys location rather than novelty: walking distance to the marina, sea views from a south-facing wraparound terrace, and an address with strong international recognition and rental demand. Buyers comparing options should weigh this trade-off consciously. New-build units in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona provide more square metres per euro and contemporary technical standards, but require a car for most daily activities and sit 30 to 80 km from the Puerto Banús social centre. This penthouse offers the opposite profile: compact interior space, an older building requiring due diligence on installations, and immediate access to one of the busiest leisure economies on the coast, with 73 restaurants within two kilometres and roughly five million annual visitors shaping the local rhythm. The regional housing market around Puerto Banús records about 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment. For buyers whose priority is a sea-view terrace in the heart of the marina district, few alternatives exist this close to the water; for buyers seeking space, silence or new construction, the projects in Mijas and Estepona represent a different proposition altogether.
