This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in Reserva de Marbella, a residential area between Marbella and Calahonda on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 119 m² of living space on the ground floor, with a private garden and open views. Built in 2006 and now key-ready, it includes underground parking and a storage room, with 24-hour security in the complex. The asking price is fixed at €325,000. The nearest beach, Playa de Cabopino, lies approximately 2.2 km away as the crow flies, and several golf courses are within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Reserva de Marbella sits in the hills behind the coast between Marbella (12 km straight-line) and Calahonda. The apartment stands at roughly 112 metres above sea level, with a moderate gradient of 4.8% towards the sea. Playa de Cabopino and its marina lie about 2.2 to 2.3 km away in a direct line, while Cabopino golf course is 1.2 km distant. Road distances are longer than straight-line figures.
The apartment combines two bedrooms and two bathrooms with 119 m² of living area, arranged around an open-plan living and dining space that opens onto a terrace and garden. A kitchen with light wood cabinetry, a dedicated parking space in the underground garage and a storage room cover practical daily needs. The ground-floor position and private outdoor space suit both permanent residence and seasonal use.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006, not a new-build project. Construction was finished more than fifteen years ago, which means the property is available immediately, the construction status is key-ready. Any completion or renovation dates are indicative. Buyers should factor the age of the building into their assessment of installations and finishes, and arrange an independent technical survey.
The property offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms within 119 m²; larger families requiring three or more bedrooms will find the layout limited. There is no lift-dependent penthouse view, and as an existing building from 2006 the finishes reflect that period. The database does not record a private pool, and the nearest beach is over 2 km away, so this is not a seafront location. No plot size or community cost data is available.
This apartment fits a buyer who wants a completed, move-in-ready home on the Costa del Sol without the waiting period and phased payments of an off-plan purchase. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with 119 m² suits couples, small families or owners who want a guest room for visiting family and friends. The fixed asking price of €325,000 positions it in the middle segment of the Marbella-area resale market, which appeals to buyers whose budget does not stretch to frontline properties but who still want the Marbella address and its surroundings. The private garden and ground-floor position are relevant for buyers who prefer to avoid stairs and want direct outdoor space without maintaining a large plot. The 24-hour security and underground parking make it workable as a lock-up-and-leave second home, used for holidays and rented out or left empty between visits. Golf players benefit most from the location: three courses within roughly 2.6 km straight-line, including Cabopino golf at 1.2 km. Buyers who want to walk to the beach every day should note the distance of over 2 km; a car is a practical necessity here. Finally, the 2006 construction year suits buyers comfortable with an established building and community rather than a brand-new development, provided they budget for a technical inspection and possible updates to interiors or installations.
As an existing apartment completed in 2006, the property reflects the construction standards and interior style of that period on the Costa del Sol. The available images show a kitchen with light wood cabinetry, two bedrooms, one currently set up with two single beds, and an open-plan living and dining area oriented towards the patio. The terrace is furnished with a table and chairs, confirming usable outdoor space connected to the main living area. The seller describes the home as well maintained, with open views from the garden. In practical terms, buyers should treat this as a habitable, key-ready property where cosmetic updates may be desirable rather than structural. Buildings from 2006 in this area typically feature cavity walls, aluminium or PVC window frames and pre-installation for air conditioning, but the specific condition of the heating, cooling and hot-water systems is not recorded in the data and should be verified during a viewing. The included underground parking space protects the car from sun and reduces summer heat build-up, while the dedicated storage room is a practical addition rarely found in smaller coastal apartments. Community aspects, the 24-hour security service, the condition of shared gardens and pools, and the monthly community fees, are managed jointly with other owners and should be reviewed in the community documentation before purchase. An independent technical survey is advisable for any resale property of this age, covering damp, electrics, plumbing and the waterproofing of the terrace and garden areas.
The asking price for this apartment is fixed at €325,000, this is an existing resale property, not a new-build price list. For context, comparable new-build projects in the wider region start lower: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those figures concern new construction, whereas this price applies to a completed, key-ready home from 2006 with parking and storage included. Buyers should account for purchase costs on top of the asking price. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status; any transfer timeline depends on the negotiation with the current owner.
Reserva de Marbella is a residential zone built around low-rise apartment blocks and townhouses, set back from the coast road on the gentle slopes between Calahonda and Marbella. Daily life here follows a quiet, car-based rhythm. Mornings typically start on the terrace or in the small garden that belongs to this ground-floor apartment; the open-plan living and dining area connects directly to this outdoor space, so the home works well for slow breakfasts and evening meals outside for much of the year. With an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, outdoor living is realistic from early spring to late autumn. Shopping and everyday services are concentrated around the nearby commercial areas of Calahonda and Elviria, both a short drive away. Within 2 km of the complex, the data records eight restaurants and two cafés, which covers basic options but means most residents cook at home regularly or drive for variety. The area's recreational core is golf: Cabopino golf lies 1.2 km away as the crow flies, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km and El Soto Golf at 2.6 km. Beach outings centre on Playa de Cabopino, Playa de Calahonda and Playa de Artola, all roughly 2.2 to 2.4 km in a direct line, a five-minute drive rather than a walk for most residents. The 24-hour security in the complex and the underground parking mean the home can be left unattended for extended periods, which matters for second-home owners. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood quietens considerably, as is typical for this stretch of coast, and life shifts to golf, walking and the year-round services of Marbella.
The immediate surroundings of Reserva de Marbella are residential and quiet, with the amenities of the coast a short drive away. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists eight restaurants and two cafés, enough for regular evenings out without leaving the area. The Don Carlos Tennis Club and Finca Naundrup sports centres both lie 2.4 km away in a straight line, and La Siesta Golf Club is at 2.5 km. For families, the English International College, an international school, is 4.2 km away, while the wider region counts 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area. Tourism infrastructure is substantial: 48 hotels with 12,606 beds, which explains the seasonal bustle in summer and the calm of the winter months. Public transport consists of four lines serving 50 stops, workable for occasional trips along the coast, though most residents rely on a car. The setting at 112 metres elevation gives the apartment its open views while keeping the beach within a short drive.
The map shows the apartment's position in the hills behind the coast, roughly halfway between Marbella and Calahonda. Note the cluster of golf courses to the north and east, the beaches and marina of Cabopino to the southeast, and the motorway connection running along the coast towards Marbella and Málaga.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Reserva de Marbella occupies the middle section of the Costa del Sol between Marbella and Fuengirola, the stretch where golf courses and residential urbanisations dominate the landscape. Marbella, with almost 148,000 inhabitants, lies 12 km to the west and provides the urban and cultural weight of the region; Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,000 inhabitants, is 38 km to the east. Algeciras, 75 km away, marks the southern edge of practical daily range. Within this corridor, the location trades seafront proximity for elevation, views, golf access and quieter streets, a common trade-off in this part of the coast.
Access is primarily by car via the A-7 coastal motorway, which connects the area to Marbella 12 km away in a straight line and to central Málaga at 38 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) lies roughly 30 km away as the crow flies, making flights straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is an alternative at about 66 km. The nearest beaches, Playa de Cabopino at 2.2 km, Playa de Calahonda at 2.3 km and Playa de Artola at 2.4 km, all straight-line distances, are reached in a few minutes by car, and Puerto Cabopino marina at 2.3 km adds dining and boating options. Golfers can reach Cabopino golf at 1.2 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km and El Soto Golf at 2.6 km. Public transport (four lines, 50 stops) offers a fallback for travel without a car, but daily life here assumes private transport. All distances are direct distances; actual road routes are longer.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, consistent with the mild Mediterranean conditions of this part of the Málaga coast. Winters are gentle and summers warm, which extends the usable season for the terrace and garden well beyond the peak summer months. The swimming season is recorded at four months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly June to September, so sea swimming is a summer activity rather than a year-round one. The apartment sits at 112 metres above sea level with a moderate 4.8% gradient down to the coast: enough elevation for open views and a sense of the hills behind, without a steep daily climb. The surrounding landscape combines residential gardens, golf greens and the pine-backed dunes of Artola near Cabopino, one of the less developed stretches of coastline nearby.

Beach life centres on the three sandy beaches within about 2.4 km: Playa de Cabopino, Playa de Calahonda and Playa de Artola. Cabopino is known for its dunes and family-friendly setting beside the marina of Puerto Cabopino, where restaurants and moored boats create a small seasonal hub. Playa de Artola borders a protected dune system with the historic Torre de Calahonda watchtower, offering a more natural stretch of coast. Golf dominates the recreation offer inland: Cabopino golf at 1.2 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km and El Soto Golf at 2.6 km, all within a five-minute drive. Tennis players can use the Don Carlos Tennis Club at 2.4 km, and a public swimming pool is available at Camping Marbella Playa, 1.8 km away. For wider leisure, Marbella's old town, promenade and beaches are roughly 12 km away as the crow flies.

At €325,000 for 119 m², this resale apartment costs roughly €2,730 per square metre, a price that makes sense only when placed in its regional context. New-build alternatives nearby start lower in absolute terms: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, while Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €321,000, almost the same as this asking price. The comparison is not straightforward, because those are off-plan or new projects whose entry prices usually apply to smaller units, while this figure covers a completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with 119 m², a garden, underground parking and a storage room already built and usable. What the buyer gives up compared with new-build is modern energy performance, brand-new installations and a developer's guarantees; what is gained is immediacy, no phased payments, no construction risk and no waiting list for delivery. Location-wise, Reserva de Marbella sits in the Marbella, Calahonda corridor, generally regarded as a more established and higher-priced stretch of coast than Torre del Mar in the east or parts of Estepona in the west. Within its own micro-market, the property competes with other resales in Reserva de Marbella and neighbouring urbanisations such as Elviria and Calahonda, where proximity to Santa María and Cabopino golf, 24-hour security and included parking are the deciding factors for many buyers. The regional market records 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market with reasonable liquidity for owners who may wish to sell later. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should compare total cost of ownership, including community fees for the security and pool services here, against the higher entry specification of new construction.
