This completed bungalow is situated in Bahía de Banús, a gated residential complex in Puerto Banús, on the Costa del Sol in the municipality of Marbella, Málaga. The property offers 325 m² of built space on a 271 m² plot, with three bedrooms, a private pool and garden, and access to communal gardens and two communal pools. The marina, its retail and restaurant district, and Playa de Puerto Banús are within walking distance. Marbella town centre lies approximately 7 km to the east, and Málaga Airport around 45 km away. The complex is listed with 24-hour security, alarm system and private parking.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in the urban core of Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía, southwest of Marbella. The beach at Puerto Banús is roughly 686 m away on foot; a supermarket lies 451 m away and a pharmacy 274 m. The setting is urban and built-up rather than rural, with the marina's commercial district within a short walk. Restaurants, banks and cafés cluster within a two-kilometre radius.
The dwelling is configured for seasonal or full-time occupation with three bedrooms, all en-suite according to the listing, a downstairs master with garden access, and a first floor with two further bedrooms and a TV area. Outdoor living is catered for through a private pool, covered terrace, solarium, gas barbecue and garden dining area. Air conditioning and mountain, panoramic, garden and pool views are listed.
This is not a new-build project. The property forms part of a complex dating from around 1970, with completed construction status and a listed price of €2,700,000. Delivery is immediate upon purchase. Renovation or modernisation levels should be verified through inspection, as the building fabric predates current construction standards by several decades.
The listing does not include an energy performance certificate, and the 1970 construction date means the property predates modern energy-efficiency requirements. The plot of 271 m² is modest relative to the built area of 325 m², resulting in compact outdoor space. The listing is offered with short-term summer availability noted, indicating rental use. No new-build guarantees or developer warranties apply.
This property fits a buyer profile seeking a walkable, service-dense coastal location with security and minimal maintenance responsibility, the private pool and garden sit within a gated complex with 24-hour security and communal facilities. It suits those who value proximity to the marina's dining, shopping and nightlife within a ten-minute walk, and who accept the seasonal intensity that comes with it. The three-en-suite bedroom configuration works for families with older children or for households that regularly host guests, as each bedroom retains independence. The existing short-term rental availability may suit buyers weighing personal use against income generation, subject to current Andalusian tourist licensing rules. It is less suited to buyers seeking seclusion, large plots or a quiet residential street: the urban setting, 271 m² plot and central location come with traffic, visitor volume in summer and near neighbours. Buyers prioritising energy performance should note the absence of a listed certificate and the 1970s construction origin, which typically entails verification of insulation, glazing and system updates. The flat terrain and concentration of amenities make it workable without a car for daily needs, though airport transfers and regional trips involve roughly 45 minutes to Málaga Airport or an hour to Gibraltar. Golf players, second-home owners from northern Europe, and buyers trading down from larger villas in Nueva Andalucía while retaining pool and garden access are the most typical audience for this segment of the Bahía de Banús market.
The listing describes a modernised interior with dark-framed glazing, an open staircase linking the dining area to the upper floor, a kitchen with breakfast bar, and a living room opening onto the pool area. The photographic record shows a bar-kitchen with stools, a living room with fireplace and decorative finishes, bedrooms with wooden flooring, headboard lighting and quality soft furnishing, and a dining area integrated with the stairwell. The master bedroom occupies the ground floor with direct garden access and a substantial en-suite bathroom; the two first-floor bedrooms are both en-suite, one with a Jacuzzi, one with balcony access and the other with a full-height window over the stairwell. A small TV area upstairs provides secondary living space. Externally, the property includes a covered terrace, private terrace, solarium, outdoor dining with optional shade, four sun loungers and a gas barbecue. The private pool and garden connect directly to the communal gardens and two communal pools of the Bahía de Banús complex. Technical infrastructure listed includes air conditioning, an alarm system and private parking. Two caveats are relevant to quality assessment. First, the complex dates from around 1970, so the standard of the modernisation, wiring, plumbing, insulation, window performance, should be verified through survey rather than inferred from interior presentation. Second, no energy performance certificate is recorded in the data; Spanish law requires one at point of sale, so this document should be requested during due diligence. Community maintenance of the shared gardens and pools is managed through the residents' community, whose fees and reserve funds form part of standard purchase enquiries.
The asking price is €2,700,000 for the completed, fully furnished property, equating to approximately €8,300 per m² of built area. This positions the listing in the upper segment of the Marbella municipal market, consistent with pricing in the immediate Puerto Banús area. The property is available now, with the listing noting short-term summer availability, which indicates an existing rental history that buyers may wish to review in terms of licenses and income records. Price variation within the area depends heavily on frontline positioning; properties in gated complexes slightly removed from the immediate marina front generally trade below frontline beach or berths-adjacent stock.
Daily life around this property revolves around the pedestrian scale of Puerto Banús and Nueva Andalucía. The supermarket at 451 m, pharmacy at 274 m and the concentration of 73 restaurants, 9 cafés and 4 banks within a two-kilometre radius mean most errands can be completed on foot or by bicycle. The marina and the Muelle de Honor viewpoint are both roughly half a kilometre away, functioning as the neighbourhood's principal public spaces. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons: summer months bring the peak visitor economy of roughly five million annual marina visitors, high hotel occupancy across 52 hotels and a busier nightlife and dining scene, while autumn through spring is quieter, with a more residential character among the international community of Nueva Andalucía. Within the complex itself, the property operates around its private pool and garden, supplemented by two communal pools and community gardens accessible from the private plot. The ground floor places the master bedroom and the main living space in direct contact with this outdoor area, which suits a pattern of long outdoor seasons given the region's approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year and a six-month swimming season. Practical anchors nearby include a hospital facility at 1.3 km, an EV charging point at 325 m, and 50 public transport stops across 9 local lines, which reduces car dependency for routine trips. Golf, one of the area's defining activities, is concentrated in the 'Golf Valley' inland of Nueva Andalucía, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.2 km. Schools are comparatively well represented, with 41 primary and 28 secondary institutions in the wider area and international schools at 4.8 km and 6.9 km. The altitude of 11 m and the flat 0.3% approach to the coast make walking and cycling genuinely practical rather than nominal.
Puerto Banús functions as one of the Costa del Sol's principal leisure hubs, built around the marina opened in 1970 by developer José Banús. For residents, this translates into an unusually dense service environment: within a two-kilometre radius there are 73 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, alongside 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds. The practical consequence is dual: daily convenience is high, pharmacy 274 m, supermarket 451 m, hospital facility 1.3 km, while the summer months bring substantial visitor traffic to the immediate streets around the marina. The residential streets of Nueva Andalucía, where Bahía de Banús sits, are more settled than the frontline promenade, and the gated complex with 24-hour security buffers the busiest flows. Transport infrastructure includes 50 bus stops across 9 lines, an EV charger at 325 m, and Tesla superchargers at 3.4 km and 10 km. Marbella's old town and full municipal services lie 7 km east. Education and healthcare are regionally strong, with 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools, 5 health centres and international schools within roughly 5–7 km. The terrain is flat at 11 m elevation, which supports year-round walking and cycling.
The map shows the property's position within the Bahía de Banús complex, immediately north of the marina basin. Playa de Puerto Banús, the supermarket and pharmacy cluster all sit within a short walking radius, while the Golf Valley courses lie inland to the north. Marbella town is a short drive east along the coastal A-7/N-340 corridor.

The location records approximately 3,856 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to roughly six months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C. The property sits at 11 m above sea level on essentially flat terrain, the gradient toward the beach measures 0.3%, which distinguishes it from hillside developments further inland in Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís that involve steeper access roads and stepped gardens. Rainfall concentrates in the autumn and winter months in the typical Mediterranean pattern. The mountain views listed for the property correspond to the Sierra Blanca ridge behind Marbella, visible from upper-floor windows and the solarium. The microclimate of this coastal strip benefits from the sea's moderating effect, keeping summer peak temperatures generally lower than inland Andalusia.

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.

At €2,700,000 for 325 m², this listing operates in a different market segment from recent new-build developments on the eastern and western Costa del Sol, where comparable-dataset projects 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) represent entry-level pricing. Those projects offer new construction with current energy standards and developer warranties; what they do not offer is the Puerto Banús address. Within Marbella municipality itself, the relevant comparison set is the resale stock of Nueva Andalucía and the marina perimeter, where completed villas and townhouses in gated complexes within walking distance of the harbour generally trade in the €2–5 million band, rising further for frontline positions. Against inland Nueva Andalucía, Los Naranjos, La Quinta, Aloha, this property trades plot size and golf-frontage for walkability: the 271 m² plot is small by valley standards, where 800–1,500 m² plots are common, but the valley properties require a car for the beach and the marina. Against Marbella town's Golden Mile, pricing is broadly comparable per square metre, though Golden Mile stock tends toward larger apartments and frontline villas at higher absolute figures. The key structural difference is tenure of environment: the five million annual visitors to the marina sustain a year-round service economy, restaurants stay open through winter in a way that quieter coastal zones do not match, but they also concentrate summer footfall within a few hundred metres of this property. Buyers weighing this listing against new-build alternatives are, in effect, choosing between a 1970s complex with a modernised interior and an unmatched pedestrian location, versus contemporary construction standards, warranties and energy performance in less central settings. Both positions are coherent; they answer different priorities.
