This completed three-bedroom penthouse is situated in Jardines del Puerto, a gated residential complex in Puerto Banús, within the Nueva Andalucía area southwest of Marbella. The property measures 148 m² and includes two bathrooms plus a guest toilet, a private terrace and balcony, and one garage parking space. The building dates from 1986 and the unit is delivered fully furnished. The complex offers two communal swimming pools, gardens, a tennis/padel court, a children's playground and doorman service. Shops, restaurants and the beach at Playa de Puerto Banús are within walking distance. Asking price: €890,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands in an established urban setting within Puerto Banús, roughly 700 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús and about 450 metres from the nearest supermarket. Marbella centre lies 7 km to the northeast; Málaga airport is approximately 45 km away. Fifty public transport stops and nine bus lines serve the surrounding area, meaning daily errands can be managed on foot or by bicycle without reliance on a car.
The property functions as a ready-to-occupy residence: three bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, double glazing, fitted wardrobes and marble flooring are all installed. The 148 m² layout connects through large glass doors to a private terrace and balcony with mountain, garden and pool views. Communal facilities include two pools and a padel court. The unit is wheelchair accessible and has lift access, suiting both permanent and seasonal use.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 1986 and is described as being in excellent condition following maintenance and refurbishment. Delivery is immediate upon completion of purchase, with the property sold fully furnished. Buyers should budget for the upkeep typical of a nearly forty-year-old building, even where current condition is documented as good.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal only. There is a single garage parking space and no additional storage room is listed. The complex dates from 1986, so no new-build warranties or modern energy certificates typical of current developments apply. Building height and orientation mean sea views are not listed among the documented views; views are limited to mountain, garden and pool.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a move-in-ready second home on the Costa del Sol without renovation works will find the furnished, air-conditioned layout immediately usable. Households wanting to live without a car, or with one car, benefit from the walkable concentration of shops, pharmacies, restaurants and the beach within a kilometre. Buyers prioritising communal amenities such as pools, padel and gardens, without the maintenance burden of a private villa, match the complex's offering. International families considering schooling will note 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, including the British International School at 4.8 km. Those seeking rental income may find demand supported by the area's tourism base of 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds, subject to community rules on letting. Conversely, the property suits buyers less well if the priority is complete tranquillity, modern new-build energy performance, a private pool, sea views or multiple parking spaces. As a 1986 building, it also requires acceptance of an older structure with community-managed maintenance. In short, it matches buyers who value location, space and readiness over newness and seclusion.
The interior is documented with marble flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes with mirrored fronts in the bedrooms, and large glass doors connecting living areas to the terrace and balcony. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, and double glazing supports both thermal comfort and noise reduction in a busy district. Security measures include an armoured entrance door, a secure gated entrance, surveillance cameras, doorman service and lift access. The two bathrooms include one en-suite, with an additional guest toilet. Photographs show bedrooms with mirrored wardrobe walls and balcony access with pool views, a hallway with mirror-fronted doors, and communal pools and gardens in maintained condition. The building itself dates from 1986; while the unit is described as in excellent condition, construction standards of that era typically differ from current regulations on insulation, energy performance and seismic codes. No energy certificate rating is listed in the available data. The property includes one private garage space and is wheelchair accessible. Buyers assessing long-term costs should request the community's maintenance history, building survey and any planned infrastructure works from the administrators, standard due diligence for a resale of this age in a coastal environment.
The asking price is €890,000, which equates to roughly €6,014 per m² of built area. The price covers a fully furnished, three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 148 m² with a private terrace, balcony and one garage space. For regional context, comparable new-build coastal projects listed against this property start from €205,000 in Mijas and €269,000–€269,950 in Estepona and Torre del Mar, though those are smaller units in different locations and construction phases, so per-m² and location premium in Puerto Banús account for much of the difference. As a completed resale property, price negotiation, notary costs and transfer tax apply rather than new-build VAT.
Jardines del Puerto sits in the dense, walkable core of Puerto Banús, one of the Costa del Sol's busiest leisure destinations with roughly five million annual visitors. Daily life here is urban and compact: the nearest supermarket is 451 metres away, a pharmacy 274 metres, and the beach under 700 metres. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 73 restaurants, nine cafés, four banks and four pharmacies, so nearly all routine needs are met on foot. The rhythm of the area shifts markedly between seasons, busy and lively in summer months, considerably quieter outside the tourist peak, though the marina and its retail core remain active year-round. The penthouse itself sits within a gated community with surveillance cameras and a doorman, which buffers the residential experience from the surrounding activity. Communal gardens and two pools provide outdoor space that does not depend on leaving the complex. The private terrace and balcony extend the 148 m² interior toward the mountain and garden views. For residents working remotely or commuting, Marbella is a short drive and nine public transport lines connect the area. The property's character is that of an established, fully equipped base in a high-amenity coastal town, rather than a quiet retreat, a trade-off buyers should weigh against the walkability and service density on offer.
Daily life around Jardines del Puerto is shaped by exceptional service density. A supermarket sits 451 metres from the door, a pharmacy 274 metres, and an electric vehicle charging point 325 metres away. Healthcare is well covered: five health centres operate in the area, with the nearest hospital 1.3 km distant. Dining and leisure options are extensive, 73 restaurants and nine cafés within two kilometres, reflecting Puerto Banús's role as an entertainment hub. Recreation within easy reach includes the marina at Puerto Deportivo José Banús (0.5 km), the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint (0.5 km), and sports facilities such as Polideportivo San Pedro (2.2 km), a climbing wall (Rocodromo, 2.8 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.2 km). The area is flat, at 11 metres above sea level with a 0.3% gradient toward the beach, so walking and cycling are practical. Traffic and footfall peak in summer; outside the season the district quietens noticeably. Nine bus lines and fifty stops provide public transport connections toward Marbella and beyond.
The map shows the property's position within Puerto Banús: under 700 metres from the beach and marina, with the supermarket (451 m), pharmacy (274 m) and EV charger (325 m) forming a tight cluster of daily services. Golf courses sit 2.2–2.8 km inland to the north, and Marbella centre lies 7 km northeast along the coast.

Puerto Banús occupies a distinct position on the Costa del Sol: a purpose-built luxury marina district (opened 1970) within Nueva Andalucía, 7 km southwest of Marbella and roughly midway between Marbella and Estepona. Málaga city and its airport lie 45–54 km to the northeast. The area sits inside the "Golf Valley" of Nueva Andalucía, with several courses within three kilometres, while its retail and marina core functions as one of the region's principal leisure destinations. Compared with Marbella's old town, the district is more commercial and tourist-oriented; compared with Estepona, it is denser and more established.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is roughly 686 metres away, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.6 km and Playa de San Pedro at 2.8 km. Marbella centre is 7 km northeast; Estepona and Algeciras lie further west and Málaga city 54 km east. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45–46 km by straight line, typically a 45–55 minute drive; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is around 51 km in the other direction, offering an alternative for UK flights. Golf is a defining feature of the surroundings: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas lies 2.2 km away, The Range golf lessons 2.5 km and Magna Marbella Golf 2.8 km. A Tesla Supercharger is located 3.4 km away in Marbella, with another at Estepona 10 km west. Everyday services, supermarket, pharmacy, bank, are all within a few minutes on foot.

The location sits at 11 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain (0.3% slope toward the beach), meaning no notable gradients on walking routes. Historical climate data record approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.2°C, with averages ranging from about 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends roughly six months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C. In practical terms, outdoor use of the terrace, balcony and communal pools is feasible for most of the year, with air conditioning and double glazing managing summer peaks and the milder winter months. The microclimate is typical of the Marbella coast, moderated by the Mediterranean and sheltered by the Sierra Blanca foothills inland, the source of the documented mountain views.

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 property occupies a different segment from the new-build projects typically listed alongside it. 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 new or off-plan developments further from the coast's prime marina districts. At €890,000 for 148 m², this penthouse prices at roughly €6,000 per m², reflecting Puerto Banús's established position as one of the Marbella area's highest-demand locations, with roughly five million annual visitors, 52 hotels and 4,743 recorded property transactions in the surrounding market. What the buyer obtains in exchange is immediacy and centrality: a completed, furnished home within 700 metres of the beach and marina, surrounded by walkable services and the Nueva Andalucía golf valley. The trade-offs are equally concrete: a 1986 building without new-build energy standards, communal rather than private pools, one parking space and no listed sea views. Buyers comparing options should weigh whether location maturity or new-build specification carries more weight in their decision.
