This key-ready townhouse in Río Real, on the eastern edge of Marbella, offers 210 m² of living space with four en-suite bedrooms and five bathrooms in total. Completed in 2024 and delivered fully furnished, the property includes a private garden with swimming pool, a solarium with sea views, and a private basement garage. The asking price is €1,890,000. Río Real sits in a quiet residential setting between Marbella centre, roughly 6 km away as the crow flies, and several established golf courses, with Málaga Airport approximately 34 km in a straight line from the area.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Río Real is a low-density residential zone east of central Marbella, set back from the coast road amid golf terrain and gentle hills at about 178 m elevation. Marbella centre lies some 6 km away in a straight line, while Málaga city is approximately 42 km distant. The immediate surroundings are dominated by villas, townhouse developments and green fairways rather than commercial strips.
The house is arranged for permanent or extended-stay living: four en-suite bedrooms give each occupant private bathing facilities, hot and cold air conditioning covers both seasons, and double glazing supports year-round comfort. A fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, a lift between levels and a covered terrace extend daily usability, while the private pool and garden serve outdoor routines.
Construction was completed in 2024 and the property is key-ready, meaning buyers can move in directly after purchase without a waiting period. Interiors were finished and furnished by Lord Designs, and the home is sold fully furnished, including a fully fitted kitchen. As with any completion date, the stated year is indicative and should be confirmed during the purchase process.
The property does not include a large private plot; outdoor space consists of the terrace, solarium and modest garden area. Only one restaurant is registered within 2 km, so daily shopping and dining require short car journeys. No beach is within walking distance of the data provided, and the sea-view designation applies from upper levels and terraces rather than every room.
This home fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Marbella area year-round will find the four en-suite bedrooms and the lift practical for a multi-generational household, while the 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider region, including the English International College at 6.5 km and the British International School at 7.1 km straight-line, cover international education needs. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance second home benefit from the key-ready status: no construction phase, no waiting, and furnishing already in place. Households that host guests frequently will value the en-suite arrangement, which avoids shared-bathroom friction. Golf-oriented owners are well placed, with Greenlife Golf at roughly 7 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 7.7 km straight-line, both a short drive away. The property is less suited to buyers who want to walk to beaches, shops and restaurants, the immediate area is residential and a car is part of daily life. It also does not suit those seeking a large plot of land, since the garden is compact. For owners who split the year between countries, the private garage, alarm-ready urbanisation setting and communal-pool access alongside the private pool offer flexibility for long absences.
The interior scheme was executed by Lord Designs and reads as a curated, contemporary package rather than a standard developer finish. In the principal suite this means a walk-in wardrobe, a private terrace and a spa-styled bathroom with a freestanding tub, as shown in the property photography. All four bedrooms are en-suite, which is an unusual density of bathrooms, five in total for 210 m², and signals a fit-out aimed at comfort per occupant rather than maximum bedroom count. Technical provisions include hot and cold air conditioning, double glazing, fitted wardrobes throughout and a fully fitted kitchen. The living area uses expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing, which increases natural light but also places demands on the climate system; the presence of both heating and cooling modes addresses this. Vertical circulation is handled by a lift, a feature that materially changes how a multi-storey townhouse is used day to day. Outside, the finishes continue with a covered terrace, a solarium, a private pool and a shaded dining area in a landscaped garden. The home is delivered fully furnished, meaning the purchase price includes the furniture, fittings and design package as photographed. The overall condition is listed as excellent, consistent with a 2024 completion. Buyers should nonetheless verify appliance warranties, pool equipment condition and community regulations during due diligence, as these fall outside the property data.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,890,000 as an existing, completed home, this is not a from-price and there is no price list of variants. For that amount the buyer receives 210 m² of living space across four en-suite bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private garden and pool, a solarium, a basement garage and full furnishing. Compared with regional new-build alternatives on the eastern Costa del Sol, this positions the home firmly in the upper segment of the Marbella market, reflecting its location, recent 2024 completion and furnished, move-in-ready condition.
Río Real functions as a quiet residential pocket on Marbella's eastern side, where the rhythm of the day is set by golf rounds, garden maintenance and short drives into town. The house itself is built around this routine. Mornings can begin on the covered terrace or the solarium, where sea views open towards the coastline; the principal suite adds its own private terrace, so the outlook is available before leaving the bedroom. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows connect the open-plan living and dining area to the garden and pool, which keeps the ground floor bright throughout the middle of the day. Because all four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, the layout suits households with older children, regular guests, or visiting family who value independence. The lift removes the practical drawback of a multi-level townhouse, making the solarium and any upper-floor rooms accessible without stairs. Evenings tend to move outdoors: the shaded dining area beside the pool extends the usable day during the warm months, when average regional temperatures of 18.3°C annually, considerably higher in summer, make outdoor living the default. A private basement garage keeps the car out of the sun and adds storage. Daily life does require a car: the single restaurant within 2 km means groceries, schools and Marbella's services are reached by road, with the centre roughly a ten-minute drive away.
Life in Río Real is structured around the car and the coast road. Marbella centre, with its old town, marina-side dining and full urban services, sits about 6 km away in a straight line; Puerto Deportivo Marbella is roughly 5.1 km distant. Two marinas, Marina Marbella at 4.9 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 5.0 km straight-line, provide berths, waterfront restaurants and departure points for boat trips. Everyday practicalities are covered by the wider area's infrastructure: five health centres serve the region, and education options include dozens of primary and secondary schools plus two British-international schools within about 7 km. Public transport exists in the form of nine lines and 50 stops in the surrounding area, but the residential location means most owners drive. Recreation within easy reach includes the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima sports centre at 4.8 km and several viewpoints in the foothills, Mirador de Ojén at 2.2 km, for weekend walks. The nearest Tesla supercharger is 8.6 km away, relevant for electric-vehicle owners. The area records around 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market.
The map shows the property's position in Río Real relative to Marbella centre, 6 km to the west, and the golf courses dotting the corridor east of town. Distances shown are straight-line; road distances are somewhat longer. The coastline, marinas and motorway access to Málaga Airport are all visible within the wider frame.

Río Real occupies the quiet eastern approach to Marbella, roughly 6 km from the town centre and 42 km from Málaga city. This places it closer to Marbella's golf corridor and international-school belt than to the busier western Nueva Andalucía strip, while remaining on the same coastline. Along the Costa del Sol as a whole, the location balances resort amenities, golf, marinas, hotels, with a residential, low-density character. Algeciras, 71 km southwest, marks the far edge of the region for ferry and Gibraltar connections.
Accessibility is one of Río Real's practical strengths. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 34 km away as the crow flies, reachable by motorway in well under an hour by car under normal traffic. Gibraltar Airport, an alternative for UK-bound travellers, is roughly 63 km straight-line to the southwest. Marbella centre at 6 km handles daily needs, supermarkets, healthcare, schools and administration, while Málaga city, 42 km away, adds cultural institutions, high-speed rail connections and a major hospital network for specialised care. Beaches along this stretch of coast are a few minutes' drive, and golf courses sit even closer: Greenlife Golf Driving Range at 6.9 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella at 7.3 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 7.7 km, all straight-line distances that translate into short car journeys. All quoted distances are as the crow flies; actual road distances are longer.

The climate data points to a typical eastern-Marbella profile: an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, mild winters and hot summers moderated by the sea breeze. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs about four months, roughly June through September, which defines when the private pool and nearby beaches see heaviest use. At 178 m elevation the site sits slightly above the coastal plain, which contributes to the sea views from the solarium and can bring marginally cooler evenings in summer. The mountain backdrop is part of daily life here: viewpoints such as Mirador de Ojén, 2.2 km away, and Mirador del Corzo at 4.4 km mark the transition from residential Marbella into protected hillside terrain suitable for hiking outside the hottest months. The house's orientation provisions, solarium, covered terrace and shaded dining, map directly onto this climate, allowing outdoor use across a longer season than the four swimming months alone.

Coastal recreation is centred on the beaches between Río Real and central Marbella, a few minutes away by car, and on the marinas at 4.9 to 5.1 km straight-line, which offer waterfront dining and nautical services. Golf is the area's defining leisure asset: three courses or facilities lie within about 8 km, including Santa María Golf & Country Club at 7.7 km, giving owners multiple membership and pay-and-play options along the same corridor. For structured sport, the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 4.8 km provides municipal facilities, with a rhythmic-gymnastics pavilion nearby at 4.9 km. Tourism infrastructure in the region is substantial, 48 hotels with over 12,600 beds, which sustains year-round restaurants and services rather than a summer-only economy. Hillside viewpoints within 5 km add walking and driving routes with panoramas over the coast.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this townhouse occupies a different segment from the newer bulk developments further east and west. Comparable projects listed in the region, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, are new-build developments at price points several times lower. The Río Real property, at a fixed €1,890,000, competes instead with Marbella's established premium resale market, where buyers pay for location within the Marbella municipality, recent construction and finished quality rather than for square metres alone. The trade-off is explicit: buyers in Torre del Mar or Mijas get more space or a lower entry price but a longer commute to Marbella's services and airport corridor; the Río Real buyer gets the 6 km proximity to Marbella centre, the international-school belt and the golf corridor, in exchange for a compact garden and a car-dependent daily routine. Regional context also matters for expectations: the median provincial income of €16,450 indicates that this property sits far above the local mainstream market, which affects resale liquidity, the pool of buyers is international rather than domestic. Transaction volumes of about 4,399 per year in the area show an active market, and the substantial tourism base of 48 hotels supports rental and seasonal-use scenarios, subject to licensing rules that buyers should verify.
