A key-ready detached villa of approximately 600 m² in the gated community of The List in Río Real, on the eastern side of Marbella. The house has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a private pool and a rooftop solarium with sea views, spread over four levels and connected by a private lift. The asking price is fixed at €4,950,000 and includes full furnishing and an interior design by Pedro Peña. Río Real sits roughly six kilometres from Marbella centre, in a residential setting close to golf courses and the coast.
Within Marbella, Río Real represents the quieter eastern flank of the municipality, where residential urbanisations alternate with golf terrain. Compared with the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús to the west, the area trades proximity to nightlife and beach clubs for lower density and hillside views, this villa's sea, mountain and garden views reflect that elevation of 178 metres. Against comparable projects elsewhere on the coast, the differences are structural. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (apartments from €269,950) sits on the eastern Costa del Sol near Vélez-Málaga, a cheaper, more Spanish-market segment. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) offers inland Mijas new-build at a fraction of this villa's price, trading coastal proximity for cost. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) competes in the western growth corridor but at apartment scale. The €4,950,000 fixed price here buys a completed, furnished six-bedroom designer villa in one of Marbella's established gated communities, a segment where pricing is driven by land value, finish level and scarcity rather than by new-build construction costs. For buyers comparing across the Costa del Sol, the decision frame is therefore not apartment-versus-apartment but rather whether a turn-key Marbella villa at this price point suits better than a larger new-build plot purchase further east or west, where construction risk and timelines would re-enter the equation. The local market records 4,399 transactions per year with substantial international demand, 48 hotels and 12,606 tourist beds indicate the seasonal economy that underpins Marbella's second-home market and its rental potential.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Río Real, an urbanisation between Marbella centre (6 km straight-line) and the hills above the coast. Marbella's marinas lie around five kilometres away, golf courses within roughly seven, and Málaga Airport approximately 34 km as the crow flies. The immediate surroundings are residential, with one restaurant within two kilometres.
The layout serves large households and frequent guests: six en-suite-style bedrooms across two levels, a gym, media lounge and bar in the basement, and a solarium with outdoor kitchen. Everyday functions are grouped on the main floor around the garden and pool. Air conditioning, a fireplace and a lift cover year-round comfort and vertical circulation.
This is an existing, completed villa rather than an off-plan development. The construction status is key-ready with completion listed indicatively as 2026, meaning the finishing schedule should be confirmed with the seller. Interiors are fully furnished and designed, so no separate furnishing phase is required after purchase.
Within two kilometres of the property only one restaurant is recorded; daily shopping and services require travel to Marbella or neighbouring areas. There is no beach within walking distance in the data. A communal pool exists alongside the private one, but no spa, padel or concierge facilities are listed in the project data.
The property fits several recognisable situations. A large family relocating to the Marbella area permanently will find six en-suite bedrooms, an on-site gym and proximity to international schools, the English International College at 6.5 km and the British International School at 7.1 km straight-line, workable for daily school runs. Buyers seeking a second home for extended family holidays benefit from the guest bedrooms placed on separate floors, so visiting groups retain privacy. Households that entertain frequently can use the lower-ground entertainment level and rooftop solarium as dedicated hosting zones without disturbing the private floors. The lift makes the house viable for older family members or buyers planning to age in place. It suits buyers who want a finished, furnished residence with no construction or decoration phase, the opposite of an off-plan purchase. It fits less well for buyers seeking walkable urban living: amenities within two kilometres are minimal, so daily life depends on driving. Buyers wanting a lock-up-and-go apartment with communal services will find the maintenance footprint of a 600 m² villa on a private plot a different proposition. The fixed price of €4,950,000 positions it in the upper segment of the Marbella market, relevant to buyers whose budget matches completed designer villas rather than phased purchases.
The finishing level is documented through the interior package rather than construction specifications. The villa is fully furnished with an interior design by Pedro Peña, using warm natural materials and designer finishes throughout. Double-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glazing appear in the lounge and on the lower ground floor, where the gym and entertainment areas connect visually to the outdoors. The kitchen is an open-plan designer installation with bespoke cabinetry and premium appliances. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes; the principal suite adds a dedicated dressing room. Climate systems cover both hot and cold air conditioning, complemented by a fireplace for winter evenings. Technically notable is the private lift serving all four levels, a feature that carries both construction cost and daily practical value in a villa of this height. Outdoor finishes include a covered terrace, a private solarium with outdoor kitchen and bar, and landscaped gardens around the private pool. Both a private and a communal pool are listed, indicating the community offers shared facilities in addition to the plot's own water. Finishes shown in the imagery, the lounge with full-height windows, the dining room glazing, and the rooftop lounge areas, are consistent with the designer specification described. Buyers should verify the exact appliance brands, warranty terms on installations and the technical file of the property during due diligence, as with any completed resale property.
The asking price is fixed at €4,950,000; this is not a price-list project and no from-price applies. For that amount the buyer receives a turn-key property: fully furnished, interior-designed by Pedro Peña, with a private pool, solarium, lift, garage and gym already in place. Comparable new-build apartments on the Costa del Sol, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), operate in a different segment entirely; the price here reflects villa scale, location and completion status rather than new-build apartment pricing.
The villa operates as a four-level family residence designed around both entertaining and privacy. The main floor holds a double-height lounge that opens directly onto the landscaped garden and private pool, with an open-plan kitchen and dining area alongside it. This is the practical heart of the house: most daytime activity, meals and indoor-outdoor circulation happen here. The first floor is reserved for sleeping, with a principal suite including dressing room, en-suite bathroom and private terrace, plus two further en-suite guest bedrooms. The lower ground floor functions as a wellness and leisure level, entertainment lounge, custom bar, media area, fully equipped gym and two more guest bedrooms, all connected through floor-to-ceiling glazing. The rooftop solarium adds a separate daytime and evening zone with panoramic sea views, outdoor kitchen, bar and multiple lounge areas. A private lift links the four levels, which matters practically in a house of this size, particularly for moving luggage, groceries or less mobile guests. The south-west orientation means main terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, aligning the outdoor spaces with late-day use. Living here is car-based: the urbanisation is quiet and residential, with Marbella's services, restaurants and schools a short drive away. The rhythm of the house suits households that host visitors regularly, since guest accommodation is generous and self-contained on two separate floors.
Río Real is a residential urbanisation on Marbella's eastern approach, where housing density gives way to hills, the Mirador de Ojén viewpoint sits 2.2 km straight-line away, with Mirador del Corzo at 4.4 km and Mirador de los Gitanos at 4.6 km, indicating accessible walking and viewpoint terrain inland. Marbella centre, six kilometres as the crow flies, supplies the full urban programme: 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools and five health centres are recorded in the wider area, plus the marina district around five kilometres from the villa. The area records 4,399 housing transactions per year, pointing to an active rather than dormant market. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, 48 hotels with 12,606 beds, meaning the surroundings shift noticeably between summer and winter rhythms, though the gated community itself buffers this. Public transport exists with nine lines and 50 stops in the area, but the villa's location within an urbanisation makes a car the realistic primary mode. A Tesla Supercharger at 8.6 km serves electric vehicles. Sports facilities nearby include Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima (4.8 km) and a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion (4.9 km), adding municipal sports options beyond the villa's private gym.
The map shows the villa's position in Río Real relative to Marbella centre (6 km straight-line), the marina district around 5 km, golf courses within roughly 7 km and Málaga Airport at approximately 34 km. Note that all distances are as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The hillside viewpoints to the north and the coastal corridor to the south frame the setting.

Río Real occupies the eastern entrance to Marbella, roughly six kilometres from the old town and well placed between Marbella's urban core and the golf corridor towards Estepona. Málaga city and its airport lie to the east along the coast; Gibraltar sits 63 km straight-line to the south-west. Within Marbella's property landscape, the eastern side is known for lower density than the Golden Mile, with golf courses and residential urbanisations setting the character. The comparable projects listed, Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, sit in different price brackets and town settings, underlining that this villa competes in Marbella's upper villa segment rather than the coast-wide new-build apartment market.
Straight-line distances from the villa: Marbella centre at 6 km, the coast's marinas, Marina Marbella, Marina la Bajadilla and Puerto Pesquero, clustered around 5 km, golf facilities at 6.9 to 7.7 km (Greenlife Golf Driving Range, Greenlife Golf Marbella, Santa María Golf & Country Club), and Málaga Airport at approximately 34 km. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 63 km straight-line, offering a secondary flight option towards Cádiz. Road distances will be longer than these figures, as they are measured as the crow flies. Access by car is via the coastal A-7/N-340 corridor, which links Río Real to Marbella within minutes and to Málaga city (42 km straight-line) further east. Public transport covers the area through nine lines and 50 stops, though routes serve the main road rather than the urbanisation interior. For a household based here, one restaurant lies within two kilometres; supermarkets, schools and healthcare sit in Marbella and its eastern districts, all reachable by car in the order of ten to fifteen minutes.

The site sits at 178 metres above sea level on the lower slopes backing Marbella, high enough for elevation views towards the sea and mountains, both listed among the property's views, while remaining a short drive from the coast. The average annual temperature is 18.3°C, typical of the western Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season runs about four months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, concentrating beach use in the warmer half of the year, though the private pool and solarium extend outdoor living beyond that window. The south-west orientation of the villa places the main terraces and solarium in afternoon and evening sun, which suits the Mediterranean pattern of outdoor dining and late-day use. The nearby viewpoints at 2.2 to 4.6 km indicate hillside walking routes within easy reach, adding a green dimension to a location otherwise defined by residential and golf landscapes. The local calendar includes 32 public holidays per year, reflecting Andalusia's dense festival tradition.

Recreation around Río Real is weighted towards golf and boating rather than beach clubs within walking range. Three golf facilities lie between 6.9 and 7.7 km straight-line: the Greenlife Golf Driving Range, Greenlife Golf Marbella and Santa María Golf &Country Club, giving the villa genuine golf-country positioning despite the
