A key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 90 m² in the gated complex of Reserva de Marbella, between Marbella and Calahonda on the Costa del Sol. The asking price is fixed at €339,900 and includes an underground parking space and a storeroom. The home is south-facing with sea views and overlooks the subtropical gardens and communal pools of the complex. The building was completed in 2006. Playa de Cabopino lies 2.2 km away as the crow flies, and Cabopino golf course is 1.2 km from the complex.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Reserva de Marbella sits in the residential belt between Marbella and Calahonda, roughly 12 km from Marbella centre. The nearest beach, Playa de Cabopino, is 2.2 km away in a straight line, with three beaches and a marina within about 2.4 km. Cabopino golf course is 1.2 km away, and several further courses lie within 3 km.
The apartment offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 90 m² of living space, with a south-facing covered terrace orientated towards the sea. Air conditioning, a fully fitted kitchen, a lift and optional furniture cover daily practical needs. An underground parking space and a separate storeroom are included in the asking price, which is relevant for permanent residence as well as for stays of several weeks.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2006 and the apartment is described as key-ready and in excellent condition. The current owners have not rented the property out. There is no construction phase or delivery planning to take into account; the transfer can in principle take place in the short term, subject to the usual purchase process.
The data does not mention a private garden or a private pool; the pools are communal. The plot is not a private plot, and the living area of 90 m² with two bedrooms limits space for larger households. No information is available about sea-front first-line position, the beach is 2.2 km away, and the gradient towards the coast is about 4.8%, which means a walk to the beach involves a moderate incline.
This apartment fits a buyer who wants a completed, move-in-ready home in the Marbella area without the waiting time or construction risk of a new-build project. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with 90 m² suits a couple, a small family using it as a second home, or an owner who wants space for regular guests. The fact that the property has never been rented out by the current owners may appeal to buyers who value consistent private use and care, though it also means the home has no rental track record for anyone focused primarily on letting income. A car is part of the practical picture here: beaches, the marina and most amenities lie between 1.2 and 2.5 km away, which is walkable in part but includes a moderate climb back up to the complex. Buyers seeking a first-line beach position within walking distance of the sand should note the 2.2 km straight-line distance to the sea. The combination of a gated complex, communal pools, underground parking and a storeroom matches the profile of owners who use the property for extended stays or part-year residence and want low practical overhead. For permanent relocation, the nearby facilities, an international school 4.2 km away, health centres in the region and forty-one primary schools in the wider area, provide the basic infrastructure, while Marbella at 12 km and Málaga at 38 km cover urban needs.
The apartment dates from 2006 and is described as being in excellent condition, having been maintained by its owners without rental use. The kitchen is fully fitted, which means the buyer does not need to budget for a new kitchen installation in the short term. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, visible on the terrace photographs next to the sliding doors, allowing both cooling in summer and heating in the shoulder months. The living space opens onto a covered, south-facing terrace through sliding doors, a construction detail that extends the usable living area for most of the year and shelters the terrace from direct midday sun. The complex itself provides a lift, which removes staircase barriers between the parking level, the storage room and the front door. Security is arranged at complex level: Reserva de Marbella is gated, with controlled access, and the gardens and communal pools are maintained collectively. An underground private garage space and a separate storeroom are included; in this segment these are practical additions that protect against the parking pressure common in coastal zones during the summer season. Optional furniture means the buyer can either take over the current furnishing by agreement or furnish independently. As with any 2006 building, buyers commonly commission a technical survey to assess the state of installations such as plumbing and electrics, which is standard practice in the Spanish resale market and provides certainty about long-term maintenance expectations.
The asking price is fixed at €339,900 for this existing apartment; it is not a starting price from which other units vary. Included in the price are an underground private garage space and a storeroom, both of which carry separate value in this segment of the market. The apartment is 90 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, built in 2006 and currently key-ready. Furniture is optional and can be negotiated separately. Compared with the surrounding new-build supply, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, this price sits at the upper end, which is consistent with the Marbella postal address and the established, gated character of the complex. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase procedure.
Reserva de Marbella is a gated residential complex with subtropical gardens and communal swimming pools, situated in the hills just inland from the Cabopino stretch of coast. Daily life here revolves around the terrace and the pool area: the apartment is south-facing, so the covered terrace receives sun for most of the day and looks out over the gardens towards the sea. The complex includes a lift, which makes the apartment accessible without stairs from the underground car park. The position within the complex is described as one of the better ones, with panoramic and garden views in addition to the sea view. The rhythm of the area is seasonal. Within 2 km there are eight restaurants and two cafés, while Elviria and Cabopino marina, both about five minutes by car according to the existing description, offer a wider choice of dining. Puerto Cabopino, at 2.3 km straight-line distance, functions as the local social anchor in the summer months. Outside the season the area becomes considerably quieter, which suits owners seeking rest, though it also means that a car is practically necessary for shopping and daily errands. Four public transport lines with fifty stops serve the wider area, but the distances between stops and the hillside setting make the car the default means of transport. The nearest beaches, Playa de Cabopino, Playa de Calahonda and Playa de Artola, all within roughly 2.4 km, are reached in a few minutes by car. The moderate gradient of about 4.8% towards the coast means the return journey on foot involves a steady climb, which is worth knowing for anyone who prefers to walk everywhere.
The immediate surroundings combine residential quiet with a concentration of leisure facilities within a short radius. Three golf courses, Cabopino at 1.2 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km and El Soto Golf at 2.6 km straight-line, cluster around the complex, alongside La Siesta Golf Club at 2.5 km. Tennis is available at Don Carlos Tennis Club, 2.4 km away. This density of sports facilities shapes the character of the area: it attracts a mixed international population of residents and seasonal visitors rather than mass tourism, although the wider region records 48 hotels with 12,606 beds, which indicates a clear seasonal peak in summer. Beach life centres on Cabopino, Calahonda and Artola, all within about 2.4 km as the crow flies. Puerto Cabopino, the marina 2.3 km away, adds a social meeting point with its restaurants and boats. Daily errands require a short drive; eight restaurants and two cafés lie within 2 km, with a fuller offer in Elviria and Calahonda. Public transport exists, four lines and fifty stops in the area, and connects the coastal strip, but for commuting or excursions the A-7 and AP-7 corridors provide the practical routes towards Marbella, Fuengirola and Málaga.
The map shows the position of Reserva de Marbella on the hillside above Cabopino. The three nearby beaches, the marina and the cluster of golf courses are all within a 2.6 km radius, while Marbella lies 12 km to the west along the coast. Note that distances shown are straight-line; road routes are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Reserva de Marbella lies on the eastern side of the Marbella municipality, between the town itself (12 km) and the Calahonda, Mijas stretch. This positions the complex in the mid-price zone of the Costa del Sol: more Marbella-adjacent than Fuengirola or Torremolinos, yet clearly below the price levels of central Marbella and the Golden Mile. Málaga, at 38 km, is the provincial capital and provides the airport, high-speed rail and urban culture. Algeciras, 75 km to the west, marks the direction of Gibraltar and the Atlantic coast. The immediate area is characterised by golf resorts, international schools and a permanent international population, placing it firmly in the residential-tourism segment of the coast.
Distances below are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beach, Playa de Cabopino, lies 2.2 km from the complex, with Playa de Calahonda at 2.3 km and Playa de Artola at 2.4 km. Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 km away. Marbella is 12 km away and Málaga 38 km, both reachable via the coastal motorway. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 30 km away in a straight line, which translates to a drive of roughly half an hour under normal traffic conditions; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) lies about 66 km away to the west. Education is within practical reach: the English International College is 4.2 km away, and the wider region counts 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the surrounding area. A car is the most practical means of transport here; four public transport lines with fifty stops serve the district, suitable for occasional trips rather than daily reliance.

The complex stands at 112 metres above sea level, which explains both the sea views from the apartment and the moderate 4.8% gradient towards the coast. The elevation keeps the property above the immediate humidity of the shoreline while remaining within a few minutes' drive of the beaches. The regional climate data shows an average annual temperature of 17.9 °C, typical of the western Costa del Sol, with mild winters and warm summers moderated by the sea breeze. The swimming season, the period in which sea water stays at or above 20 °C, lasts about four months, roughly June through September, which frames how owners plan their stays: sea swimming is a summer activity, while terrace use and golf extend across most of the calendar year. The hills around Cabopino and Artola include protected dune and green areas near Playa de Artola, giving the coast here a greener and less densely built character than the concrete stretches further east. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter months, in line with the Mediterranean pattern of the region.

The coastal option nearest to the complex is Playa de Cabopino, 2.2 km away in a straight line, a beach known for its dune backdrop and the family atmosphere around the marina. Playa de Artola, 2.4 km away, lies next to the Artola dunes, a protected natural area with wide sand and nudist sections at the far end. Playa de Calahonda, at 2.3 km, is a long urban beach with chiringuitos and the full range of services of the Calahonda district. Recreation inland of the coast is dominated by golf: Cabopino golf at 1.2 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km and El Soto Golf at 2.6 km form a cluster around Reserva de Marbella, allowing play without long car journeys. Don Carlos Tennis Club, 2.4 km away, covers racket sports, and a swimming pool facility at Camping Marbella Playa, 1.8 km away, offers an alternative to the communal pools in the complex. Puerto Cabopino, finally, combines a small marina with water-facing restaurants, functioning as the local excursion destination for an evening out.

Within the current coastal supply, three new-build projects offer a useful reference. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000; both lie east and north-east of Málaga city respectively, in areas with a different, generally more Spanish and less internationally oriented, residential profile. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €321,000 and sits on the western Costa del Sol, closer to Estepona's growing but less established expatriate infrastructure. The apartment at Reserva de Marbella, at a fixed €339,900, is therefore priced above all three starting prices, which requires explanation. Three factors support the level. First, the location: eastern Marbella combines the Marbella address with an established golf-and-schools infrastructure, including the English International College 4.2 km away and four golf facilities within 2.6 km. Second, the completeness of the offer: an underground parking space and a storeroom are included, items that in new-build projects are frequently sold separately and can add €20,000 to €40,000 to a purchase. Third, the absence of construction risk and delivery waiting time: the buyer acquires a completed home that can be transferred in the short term, whereas new-build deliveries on the coast are typically scheduled one to two years ahead and are subject to the usual completion caveats. Against this stands the age of the building: a 2006 construction carries different maintenance expectations than a 2025 delivery, and buyers comparing options should weigh the higher entry price of new-build against the older installations here. The resale market context is active, with 4,399 housing transactions per year recorded in the region, which historically supports liquidity for well-located apartments in gated complexes on this stretch of the coast.
