A recently renovated two-bedroom apartment of 87 m² in the town centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The home is key-ready, with a fully fitted kitchen, wooden flooring, fitted wardrobes, a lift in the building and both a private and a covered terrace. The asking price is fixed at €290,000. Shops, restaurants, pharmacies and the medical centre are within walking distance, and Playa de San Pedro lies approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies. Built in 1989 and comprehensively refurbished, the apartment is sold part furnished and can be occupied directly after purchase.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the urban core of San Pedro de Alcántara, roughly 10 km from central Marbella as the crow flies. Daily amenities are concentrated within a 2 km radius: 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, plus a school and the medical centre. The beach is about 1.6 km away, and Puerto Deportivo José Banus approximately 3.4 km. Fifty public transport stops across 10 lines serve the wider area.
The layout offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and 87 m² of living space with a separate utility room. Practical elements include fitted wardrobes, a security door, a lift and a fully equipped kitchen. The east-facing orientation places morning light on the terraces. Part furnishing, a new bed, designer chairs and a chaise longue, reduces the initial cost of moving in. Street parking is available; there is no private parking space.
This is not a new-build development. The building dates from 1989 and the apartment has since undergone a complete renovation, including a new kitchen and new wooden floors. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the home can be transferred and occupied without waiting for building works. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process, subject to the usual notary timeline.
The property has one bathroom only, which limits suitability for larger households. There is no private garage or storage room; parking relies on the street. The building has no communal pool or garden, and the apartment offers urban and street views rather than sea views. The covered terrace is modest in scale. The 1989 construction year means the building predates current energy-efficiency standards.

This apartment fits a buyer who wants a move-in-ready home in a genuine Spanish town rather than a gated development. Recognisable situations include: a couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home near the coast, able to fly in and use the property immediately because it is renovated and part furnished; a single buyer or small household prioritising walkability, since groceries, cafés, pharmacies and the medical centre are all within a short stroll; and anyone who values public transport, given fifty stops and ten lines in the town, reducing dependence on a car. It also suits a buyer with a budget around €300,000 who wants central Marbella-adjacent location without paying new-build premiums. Less suitable situations are equally clear: households needing two or more bathrooms, buyers requiring private parking or a communal pool and garden, and those seeking sea views or a quiet suburban setting, this is a street-facing urban apartment with the corresponding noise and activity. Investors should note the town's transaction volume of about 4,743 sales per year, indicating an active resale market, and the established rental demand linked to tourism infrastructure. Finally, buyers focused on modern energy performance should weigh the 1989 construction year carefully and request the corresponding technical documentation.
The interior has been renovated throughout. The kitchen is entirely new and fully fitted with appliances, as shown in the photographic material: integrated units, modern cabinetry and contemporary fixtures. Flooring throughout is wood, laid during the refurbishment, which visually unifies the living spaces and bedrooms. The bathroom has been refitted with a walk-in shower and tiled walls in a current style. Bedrooms include white fitted wardrobes, providing storage without freestanding furniture. A separate utility room accommodates laundry equipment outside the kitchen and living area, a practical detail not always present in apartments of this size. Windows and the covered terrace open onto the street; the terrace functions as an outdoor room for much of the year given the local climate. The building itself dates from 1989, so structural elements, the facade and communal areas reflect that period, although the listing reports the overall condition as excellent following the refurbishment. A lift serves the building, and the entrance door is a security door. Technical caveats for a buyer to verify: the energy performance of a 1989 building will differ from current regulations, and the state of communal elements (roof, facade, lift maintenance) is best checked through the community of owners. No private parking or storage room is included; parking is on the street. The apartment is delivered part furnished, bed, chairs and chaise longue, which shortens the gap between purchase and occupation.
The apartment carries a fixed asking price of €290,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or prices; the price applies to this specific 87 m² property with two bedrooms and one bathroom. At this level, the price works out to roughly €3,300 per square metre of living area. Availability is immediate: the home is key-ready, renovated and sold part furnished, so the transfer follows the standard Spanish purchase procedure once a buyer and seller agree terms. Comparable new-build projects in the region start from about €205,000 in Mijas and €269,950 in Torre del Mar, though those figures concern off-plan units with different specifications and timelines.
Daily life here revolves around the town rather than a resort. The apartment lies in a built-up street setting, which means groceries, cafés and services are reachable on foot, a pattern confirmed by the density of amenities within 2 km. The east-facing orientation suits a morning routine: light on the terrace early in the day, with the afternoon shaded. Residents without a car can manage most errands locally; the fifty bus stops and ten lines in San Pedro connect the town to Marbella and neighbouring coastal villages. For recreation, the promenade at Playa de San Pedro is roughly 1.6 km away as the crow flies, a walk of about twenty to twenty-five minutes depending on the route, with a moderate 3.3% gradient from the town to the shore. Sport facilities are close: Rocodromo at 0.7 km, the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km, all straight-line distances. The area is busy in character, it is an established tourist destination with 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds, so summer months bring noticeably more activity than winter. Outside the season, the town retains a year-round population and the shops, schools and health centres keep operating, which distinguishes it from purely seasonal resorts. The apartment's practical footprint, two bedrooms, one bathroom, utility room, matches a couple, a small family or a single buyer more than a household needing multiple bathrooms. Evenings can be spent on the covered terrace facing the street, which offers urban views and direct contact with neighbourhood life rather than seclusion.
San Pedro de Alcántara functions as a working town within the municipality of Marbella, roughly 10 km from Marbella centre as the crow flies and about 57 km from Málaga city. The immediate surroundings are urban: 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks sit within 2 km, alongside a local school and the medical centre. Education options in the wider area include 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools and international schools such as The International School of Estepona (4.1 km) and the British International School (7.5 km), both straight-line distances. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area. The tourism profile is significant, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, which translates into a wide choice of dining and services but also seasonal crowds in July and August. Away from the summer peak, the town retains its year-round rhythm. Public transport is a genuine asset here: 10 lines and 50 stops connect residents to Marbella, Estepona and intermediate coastal towns, making a car-free lifestyle feasible for much of daily life. For drivers, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 provide the main arteries, and street parking near the apartment replaces a private space. Supermarkets and the promenade are reachable on foot, and the moderate 3.3% gradient between the town and the beach makes the walk manageable for most people.
The map shows the apartment in the street grid of central San Pedro de Alcántara, with the Mediterranean coastline about 1.6 km to the south as the crow flies. Marbella lies 10 km east and Puerto Banús 3.4 km away, illustrating how the town sits within the Marbella, Estepona coastal corridor of the Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol: about 10 km from Marbella, 57 km from Málaga city and within easy reach of Estepona further west. The town belongs to the municipality of Marbella, which carries a population of nearly 148,000, yet San Pedro maintains its own town centre with local shops, schools and services rather than functioning purely as a resort suburb. Its location between Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona places it within one of the most established property corridors in southern Spain, with corresponding liquidity in the resale market, around 4,743 housing transactions per year in the area. For international buyers, this means established infrastructure, legal services and rental demand alongside the coastal lifestyle the region is known for.
Key distances, measured in a straight line: Playa de San Pedro 1.6 km, the dog beach Ventura del Mar 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya 3.5 km. Golf courses cluster inland, Magna Marbella Golf at 2.3 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.8 km and El Higueral Golf at 3.2 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banus lies 3.4 km away and Marbella's marina at 9.2 km. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) approximately 48 km and Gibraltar (GIB) approximately 49 km; actual driving times to both are longer than the straight-line figures suggest, typically around 45-55 minutes depending on traffic. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger (6.1 km) and the Estepona Supercharger (7.2 km). Within 2 km of the apartment, daily needs are fully covered: supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks, a school and the medical centre. Public transport, 10 lines and 50 stops, supports car-free living, and the 3.3% gradient toward the coast keeps walking and cycling realistic for most residents.

The climate data show an average annual temperature of 19.0°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperature stays at or above 20°C, roughly May through September. San Pedro sits at a low 53 m above sea level, so the terrain is essentially flat in the town itself, with a moderate 3.3% average gradient toward the shoreline. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler half of the year; summers are predominantly dry and sunny, which makes the covered terrace usable across most months. The east-facing orientation of this apartment receives direct sun in the morning and avoids the strongest afternoon heat, a practical consideration for terrace use and indoor temperatures during July and August. For outdoor activity beyond the beach, the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint lies 3.3 km away and the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos 4.9 km, both straight-line, offering walking destinations along the coast. The Mediterranean pattern here, mild winters, warm dry summers and consistent sunshine, is the principal climatic draw of this stretch of the Costa del Sol.

The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, is 1.6 km away as the crow flies, a walk of roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes from the town centre, along the promenade that runs toward the seafront. The area holds two Blue Flag beaches, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, reflecting water quality and service standards. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.9 km) is a designated dog beach, and Playa Atalaya extends the sandy coastline at 3.5 km. Golf is a defining recreational feature: three courses, Magna Marbella Golf (2.3 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.8 km) and El Higueral Golf (3.2 km), sit within a short drive of the apartment, giving residents year-round playing options under the regional climate. Sports facilities in town include Rocodromo (0.7 km), the Apolo centre (1.0 km) and Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km), covering climbing, general training and municipal sports. For sailing and waterfront dining, Puerto Deportivo José Banus is 3.4 km away. The five-month swimming season, from roughly May to September, frames the annual recreation calendar, with spring and autumn better suited to golf, hiking and cycling.

Within the coastal market of Málaga province, this apartment occupies the mid-range segment. Its fixed price of €290,000 for 87 m² (roughly €3,300 per m²) can be benchmarked against comparable new-build projects along the coast. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950; Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000; and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those figures are starting prices for new construction, typically for smaller units, and usually involve off-plan purchase with delivery timelines of one to two years. This apartment differs on three points. First, it is available immediately, no construction phase, no phased payments, no completion risk. Second, its location is central San Pedro, which is generally more established and better served by year-round amenities than new-build zones on the edge of Torre del Mar or Mijas. Third, as a resale in a 1989 building, it carries different technical characteristics: no modern energy standard, no communal pool or gym of the kind common in new developments, and no private parking space. What it offers instead is position: within 2 km there are 27 restaurants, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks, a medical centre and a school, plus 50 public transport stops. The nearby town of Marbella, 10 km away as the crow flies, anchors the wider market with nearly 148,000 inhabitants and an active resale volume of about 4,743 transactions per year in the area. For buyers comparing this property with new-build alternatives in Estepona or Mijas, the essential trade-off is between immediate availability and an established urban location on one side, and modern construction standards and communal facilities on the other. Beach access is comparable across all options; the differentiators are timing, specification and setting.
