Villa Karina is a detached villa of 722 m² on a 1,959 m² plot in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, completed in 1999 and recently renovated. The property sits roughly 300 metres from Playa de Puerto Banús and within walking distance of shops, a pharmacy 64 metres away, and a supermarket at 353 metres. Five bedroom suites and eight bathrooms are arranged over two levels, with a lower floor containing a cinema room, wine bodega, gym and spa. Golf courses including Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha lie within approximately two to three kilometres. The asking price is €7,995,000.
Within the Costa del Sol market, Villa Karina occupies a different segment from most new-build developments. Comparable projects listed regionally, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), are apartment-based developments in the €200,000, €300,000 entry bracket. At €7,995,000, this villa prices at roughly 25 to 35 times those entry points, reflecting three factors: land (1,959 m² freehold plot), built volume (722 m²) and location within the Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús prime micro-market. Nueva Andalucía itself is one of the strongest villa markets on the coast. Its value drivers differ from neighbouring areas: Estepona competes on new-build value and space; Mijas on price and quieter settings; Torre del Mar on affordability. Nueva Andalucía competes on proximity, to Puerto Banús (1 km), to three championship golf courses (2, 3 km) and to Marbella's amenity base. The recorded 4,743 property transactions in the area indicate genuine liquidity unusual at this price level. Against Marbella's other prime zones, the trade-offs are legible. Golden Mile and Sierra Blanca offer elevation and sea views at similar prices; this villa offers walkability and flat coastal access instead, with recorded views of garden and pool rather than open sea. Los Monteros, east of Marbella town, offers quieter beaches but weaker golf access. For a buyer whose priority is the golf-valley-plus-port combination, alternatives within the immediate area are largely other villas rather than new developments, which makes the recently renovated condition of this 1999 property a relevant differentiator against unrenovated stock of the same era.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an established residential enclave of Nueva Andalucía, between Marbella town (7 km) and Puerto Banús marina (1 km). Daily amenities are concentrated within a few hundred metres: pharmacy 64 m, supermarket 353 m, EV charging 368 m. The beach at Puerto Banús is 301 m away. Three 18-hole golf courses sit within a 2.1 km radius.
The property functions as a full-time or seasonal family residence. Five en-suite bedrooms accommodate a household plus guests. A 150 m² terrace area, private pool, garden, covered dining terraces and a lower-level wellness floor support extended outdoor living. Parking for three vehicles and a gated driveway address practical household logistics.
This is not new construction. The villa was completed in 1999 and has since undergone renovation and refurbishment, recorded as recent. The build status is complete and the property is available in renovated condition. Technical systems include air conditioning (hot and cold), central heating, a fireplace and smart home automation.
The property offers no sea views according to its registered features; recorded views are limited to garden and pool. There is no mention of a separate guest apartment or staff quarters. The villa stands in a dense urban setting rather than a rural or elevated location. A 1999 construction date means the structure predates current building regulations, although renovated.
This property corresponds to a specific set of circumstances. It suits a household seeking a substantial secondary residence near the coast with space for extended family and guests, five en-suite bedrooms plus two guest toilets mean simultaneous occupation by eight to ten people remains workable. The lower-level wellness and entertainment floor serves households that host regularly or want leisure facilities without leaving the property. Buyers prioritising walkability may find the location relevant: pharmacy, supermarket, restaurants, the beach and Puerto Banús are all within walking range, reducing car dependency for daily life. The villa also fits buyers oriented towards the golf valley lifestyle, with Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha within two to three kilometres. It is less obviously suited to buyers seeking seclusion, elevated panoramas or sea views, the recorded views are garden and pool only, and the setting is urban and busy in season. Buyers wanting a modern-energy new build should note the 1999 construction date, albeit renovated. The €7,995,000 price point positions the property for a limited buyer segment, typically those already active in the Marbella prime market. Proximity to international schools such as the British International School (3.8 km) makes partial relocation with school-age children a plausible scenario.
The villa is recorded as recently renovated and refurbished, in excellent condition. Interior features include a custom-designed kitchen with integrated high-end appliances and a central island, high ceilings and an open-plan ground floor. Floor-to-ceiling glazing connects the main reception to the pool terrace, a construction detail that places demands on thermal performance, addressed here through air conditioning (hot and cold), central heating and a fireplace for winter. The five bedroom suites each have luxury en-suite bathrooms and terrace or garden access, indicating a bathroom-to-bedroom ratio above one (eight bathrooms plus two guest toilets in total). The lower level is fully fitted out: a home cinema room, a temperature-controlled wine bodega, which implies dedicated climate equipment rather than passive storage, a fitness room, and a spa suite with sauna and jacuzzi. Technical infrastructure includes a smart home automation system and secure parking for three vehicles. An EV charging point stands 368 metres from the property; the presence of private garage space suggests on-site charging could be installed, subject to verification. No energy performance certificate rating was provided in the available data, which buyers of a 1999 building should request during due diligence. Materials throughout are described as natural, with Mediterranean landscaping across the 1,959 m² plot.
The property is listed at €7,995,000 for the complete villa: 722 m² of built space on a 1,959 m² plot, five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a private pool. The price reflects position within walking distance of Puerto Banús beach and the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía, one of the higher-value micro-markets on the Costa del Sol. As a completed, renovated resale property, there is no phased pricing or off-plan payment structure; availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process. Comparable new-build apartments elsewhere on the coast start from roughly €205,000, placing this villa in a distinct market segment.
Daily life at Villa Karina is organised around the interplay between the interior volumes and the south- and west-facing terraces. The main reception area opens through floor-to-ceiling glass directly onto the pool terrace, which in practice means the living space extends outdoors for most of the year given the local climate of roughly 3,856 sunshine hours annually. Mornings can begin on the bedroom terraces; the orientation places afternoon and evening light on the pool deck and covered dining terrace, which suits late Spanish mealtimes. The lower level functions as a self-contained leisure zone: a cinema room, temperature-controlled wine bodega, fitness room and indoor spa with sauna and jacuzzi. This layout separates quiet residential floors from activity spaces, which matters in households with children or regular guests, since the five bedroom suites each have their own bathroom and direct terrace or garden access. Outside the gate, the setting is urban rather than secluded. Nueva Andalucía's commercial infrastructure is on the doorstep, a pharmacy 64 metres away, a supermarket at 353 metres, and 69 restaurants within a two-kilometre radius. Puerto Banús marina is about a kilometre away on foot. The consequence is that daily errands, dining and the beach do not require a car, though summer months bring tourist traffic to the immediate area around the port. Out of season, the neighbourhood is quieter, supported by a permanent residential base and the golf community of the surrounding valley.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with dense amenity provision. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, alongside 5 health centres and a hospital 1.9 km away. This density means daily life, groceries, medical care, banking, dining, is achievable on foot or by bicycle, and the area is served by 10 public transport lines with 50 stops. The neighbourhood sits at 10 metres above sea level with a slope of 0.2 per cent towards the beach, so walking and cycling involve no meaningful inclines. Puerto Banús marina, one kilometre away, anchors the local leisure economy: 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 tourist beds operate in the vicinity, which translates into a busy summer season and a markedly calmer winter. Education infrastructure is substantial, with 41 primary and 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider area, including the British International School at 3.8 km. For sport, Polideportivo San Pedro lies 2.9 km away, with climbing and CrossFit facilities slightly further. The consequence of this provision profile is convenience: most household needs resolve within a five-minute radius, at the cost of an environment that is lively rather than tranquil during peak months.

The location records an annual average temperature of 19.2°C with a range of 12, 26°C, consistent with a Mediterranean coastal climate moderated by proximity to the sea. Historical sunshine hours total approximately 3,856 per year, high even by Spanish coastal standards, which supports year-round use of terraces and the pool. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs roughly six months, from late May to early November. The villa stands at 10 metres above sea level on terrain with a 0.2 per cent gradient toward the beach, effectively flat. This has two consequences: effortless walking access to the coast, and an absence of elevation-based views; panoramas are limited to the garden and pool setting. Winters are mild, with heating provided by a central system, hot-cycle air conditioning and a fireplace. No altitude-related climate variation applies at this elevation.

Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (2.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.1 km) extend the coastline eastwards, with Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km. The immediate coast around Banús is urban and serviced, with chiringuitos and water sports concentrated near the marina; specific Blue Flag status of individual beaches should be verified against current season awards. Golf is the area's principal recreational asset. Three established courses, Los Naranjos (2.0 km), Las Brisas (2.1 km) and Aloha, sit in the Nueva Andalucía golf valley, with Magna Marbella (3.1 km) and practice facilities at The Range (2.0 km) nearby. Marinas include Puerto Deportivo José Banús (1.0 km) for berths and charter access. Other facilities: Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre (2.9 km), a climbing gym (3.6 km), CrossFit Marbella (3.8 km) and the viewpoint at Mirador del Muelle de Honor (1.2 km).
