This completed penthouse is situated in the Marbella Lake residential complex in Nueva Andalucía, Málaga, within the area known as Golf Valley. The property offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 234 m² of built space, including a 94 m² solarium. Completed in 2022 (indicative), it features south orientation with views over the Mediterranean, the Viejo del Angel lake and surrounding golf courses. The price of €1,330,000 includes a storeroom and two garage parking spaces. The location places Puerto Banús and its beach roughly 300 metres away, with Marbella town centre at 7 km and Málaga airport approximately 45 km from the site.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in Nueva Andalucía at La Cerquilla, between Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara, on an elevated position overlooking the Viejo del Angel reservoir. The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, lies approximately 301 metres away, and three golf courses, Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha, are within roughly 2 km. Shops, a pharmacy and a supermarket are within walking distance.
The penthouse accommodates a household needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with 234 m² of space including terraces and a solarium. The layout suits extended stays or full-time residence, with air conditioning, a fitted kitchen, covered terraces and communal pool access. Two parking spaces and a storeroom support households with more than one vehicle or substantial storage needs.
The building was completed in 2022 (indicative), placing it in the recent-build category rather than off-plan. The property is described as ready to occupy, with finishes already installed. Buyers therefore avoid construction-phase risk and waiting times; the purchase process concerns an existing, finished unit that can be inspected in its final state before commitment.
The property does not include a private pool; pool facilities are communal. The listed price is a single-figure asking price of €1,330,000, with no stated price range or unit options. The building is a penthouse within a larger urbanisation, so no private garden or detached plot is included. No information on pets, rental licence or furnishing is stated in the available data.
This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. A household relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol and seeking a recent-build home with three bedrooms will find the layout and finish level aligned with full-time residence: air conditioning throughout, a fitted kitchen, and proximity to 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, including the British International School at 3.8 km. A second-home buyer prioritising low maintenance may also find the configuration workable: a lock-and-leave apartment within a gated urbanisation, with communal pool and garden upkeep handled by the community, and a 45 km transfer from Málaga airport averaging under an hour by road. Golf-focused buyers are a natural fit given the location. Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha golf courses all sit within roughly 2 km, and the elevated position provides views over these courses from the terraces. The property is less obviously suited to buyers seeking a private garden, a private pool or a detached villa format, since the outdoor space consists of terraces and a solarium rather than grounds. Households requiring more than three bedrooms, or buyers working to a budget below the stated asking price, would need to look elsewhere in the segment.
The property was completed in 2022 (indicative) and is documented as fully equipped with branded appliances and finishes. The kitchen, visible in the available imagery, includes a dishwasher, sink with wood-finish cabinetry and an under-counter fridge-freezer, a configuration consistent with a compact, integrated European kitchen rather than a large open larder layout. The technical specification listed for the property is comparatively extensive for its category. It includes a hot/cold central air conditioning system, a domotics (home automation) installation, solar panels of a recent generation, and an emergency power generator. The solar panel installation is relevant to running costs in a climate averaging 3,856 sunshine hours per year, as it offsets a portion of daytime electricity consumption. The generator provides continuity during grid interruptions, which occur occasionally in parts of the Marbella municipality during storms. Floor-to-ceiling glazing connects the living areas to the terraces, and the covered terrace extends usable outdoor space into the cooler months. The 94 m² solarium is a private upper-level surface, distinct from the main terraces, providing an additional outdoor room with panoramic sightlines. Two basement garage spaces and a large storeroom are included in the purchase. The building's communal areas follow a design brief combining natural materials and muted colours around the pool zone. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the available data; buyers should request this document directly, as it is a legal requirement for resale properties in Spain.
The asking price is €1,330,000 for the completed penthouse as a single unit. At 234 m² of built area including the solarium and terraces, this equates to roughly €5,684 per square metre of total built space. The price includes a large storeroom and two garage parking spaces, which carry standalone value in Nueva Andalucía where parking can be scarce near Puerto Banús. No price range or alternative units within the complex are indicated in the available data; the offer concerns one specific, finished property. Buyers should verify community fees, IBI (annual property tax) and any pending service charges separately, as these are not included in the stated figures.
Marbella Lake is a modern residential complex positioned on a hillside above the Viejo del Angel reservoir, in the La Cerquilla pocket of Nueva Andalucía. Daily life here is shaped by two things: proximity to the coast and immersion in the golf valley. The beach at Puerto Banús is roughly 300 metres away on foot, while the surrounding streets are residential and comparatively quiet, lined with villas and low-rise developments rather than hotels or commercial frontage. The immediate practical infrastructure is dense. A pharmacy sits 64 metres from the complex, a supermarket 353 metres, and an electric vehicle charging point 368 metres. Within a 2 km radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks and 3 pharmacies, which reduces dependence on the car for routine errands. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina, is about 1 km away and functions as the area's principal leisure and dining hub. The penthouse itself is oriented south, which on this coastline means direct sun exposure through the middle of the day and into the evening. The 94 m² solarium extends usable outdoor space considerably, effectively providing a private open-air floor above the apartment. The two garage spaces and storeroom in the basement complete the practical package. The rhythm of the area shifts seasonally. Summer brings tourist traffic towards Puerto Banús, while the residential streets of La Cerquilla remain comparatively calm. Outside the high season, the neighbourhood operates as a settled residential zone, with golf courses, international schools and year-round restaurants sustaining activity. For a buyer weighing a holiday home against permanent residence, the infrastructure supports both patterns of use.
Nueva Andalucía functions as a residential district of Marbella rather than a standalone town, and daily life in La Cerquilla reflects that. The streets immediately around Marbella Lake are low-density, characterised by villas and small residential complexes, with the Viejo del Angel reservoir forming a green visual buffer below the development. Amenities are close: a pharmacy at 64 metres and a supermarket at 353 metres put routine shopping within a five-minute walk. An electric vehicle charging station sits 368 metres away. The concentration of restaurants within 2 km, 69 in total, means dining options span everything from neighbourhood tapas bars to the international restaurants of Puerto Banús. Healthcare access is solid: a hospital lies 1.9 km away, with 5 health centres in the surrounding area. For families, the British International School is 3.8 km distant, and the wider municipality counts dozens of primary and secondary schools. Transport-wise, 10 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the area, though the hillside position means most residents use cars for longer trips. Marbella centre is 7 km away and San Pedro Alcántara roughly 4 km. The coastal A-7 and the AP-7 toll motorway connect the area west towards Estepona and Gibraltar (52 km) and east towards Málaga airport (45 km) and Málaga city (54 km).
The map shows Marbella Lake in the La Cerquilla area of Nueva Andalucía, above the Viejo del Angel reservoir. Puerto Banús and its beach sit immediately south, the Golf Valley courses cluster within 2 km, and Marbella town lies 7 km east along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies the coastal strip immediately north of Puerto Banús, between Marbella (7 km east) and San Pedro Alcántara (4 km west). It is one of the established residential districts of the Marbella municipality, known for its concentration of golf courses and international schools rather than for hotel density. Compared with Marbella's old town, the area is lower-rise and more residential. Málaga city (54 km) and Algeciras (59 km) frame the wider region, with Estepona roughly 20 km to the west. The position places the property within the western Costa del Sol's principal residential corridor.
The nearest beach, Playa de Puerto Banús, is approximately 301 metres from the complex, a walkable distance of under five minutes. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar lies 2.2 km away and Playa de Nagüeles 3.1 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina, is 1 km distant. Golf access is a defining feature of the location: Golf Los Naranjos and The Range golf lessons are both 2.0 km away, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km away in a straight line, typically a 45, 60 minute drive. Gibraltar airport (GIB) lies 52 km to the west. Marbella city centre is 7 km away, San Pedro Alcántara roughly 4 km, and Estepona approximately 20 km. A hospital sits 1.9 km from the property and the nearest supermarket 353 metres.

The site sits at roughly 10 metres above sea level on a hillside position, with a slope towards the nearest beach measured at 0.2 per cent, effectively flat terrain at the coastal edge, though the complex itself occupies an elevated shelf above the reservoir. The climate data supports year-round outdoor use. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,856 hours per year, with average annual temperature at 19.2°C and a seasonal range of roughly 12, 26°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, extends to about six months, typically May through October. Winters are mild by northern European standards, with average lows around 12°C, meaning the terraces and solarium remain usable for most of the year. The south orientation maximises sun exposure during the shorter winter days. The Viejo del Angel reservoir below the complex and the forested hills behind it add green outlooks that soften the built environment, and the Sierra Blanca mountain range forms the backdrop to views east towards Marbella.

Beach access is anchored by Playa de Puerto Banús at roughly 301 metres, backed by the marina's promenade and chiringuitos. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.2 km) is a designated dog-friendly beach, and Playa de Nagüeles (3.1 km) and Playa de Casablanca (3.5 km) extend the sandy coastline eastwards towards Marbella centre. Golf is the principal organised recreation in the immediate area. Four courses and practice facilities lie within 3.1 km: Los Naranjos (2.0 km), The Range (2.0 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.1 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (3.1 km), which collectively give Nueva Andalucía its 'Golf Valley' designation. Other sports facilities include Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km), a municipal sports centre, a climbing wall (Rocodromo, 3.6 km) and CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km). The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint (1.2 km) offers a short walking destination overlooking the marina, and three marinas, José Banús (1 km), Virgen del Carmen in Marbella (5.3 km) and La Bajadilla (6.7 km), provide berths and waterfront activity.

Within the western Costa del Sol, Nueva Andalucía occupies a distinct market position. The comparables 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), sit in the eastern and central Costa del Sol entry-level segment, with starting prices between roughly €205,000 and €270,000. The Marbella Lake penthouse, at €1,330,000 for a single completed unit, operates in a different bracket: the established premium residential market of Marbella municipality. That difference is structural rather than merely cosmetic. Nueva Andalucía combines coastal proximity with a golf-course environment, and the recorded transaction volume in the area, 4,743 in the available dataset, indicates an active, liquid resale market rather than a speculative new-build zone. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, with 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the surrounding area, supporting rental demand during the high season. Against Marbella centre, Nueva Andalucía trades beachfront immediacy for residential calm and golf access; against Estepona, it trades lower entry prices for established infrastructure and proximity to Puerto Banús. Against Mijas and Torre del Mar, the distinction is sharper still: those areas offer newer supply at lower prices, but with longer transfer times from Málaga airport and a less mature international-services base. For buyers comparing within Nueva Andalucía itself, the key variables are position on the hillside, view orientation and the inclusion of parking and storage, items that materially affect effective value per square metre. The two garage spaces and storeroom included here are worth noting in that comparison.
