This renovated three-bedroom apartment of 109 m² is situated on the Boulevard de San Pedro in San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The home dates from 1970, has been fully modernised and is key-ready. The asking price is fixed at €377,000. The beach at Playa de San Pedro lies approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies, while shops, restaurants, schools and public transport are within walking distance. Puerto Banús and central Marbella are a short drive away, which places the property in one of the more central residential pockets of the western Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands directly on the Boulevard de San Pedro, the main commercial street of the town. Daily amenities, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, cafés and a school, sit within a two-kilometre radius. Marbella centre lies 10 km away in a straight line, and Puerto Banús roughly 3.4 km. The nearest beach is 1.6 km as the crow flies, with a moderate gradient of 3.3% on the walk there.
The layout offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and a guest toilet across 109 m², with a south-facing glass-enclosed terrace that brings in daylight throughout the day. Air conditioning provides climate control in both seasons. A lift serves the building. The property carries an active holiday rental licence, which widens its possible use beyond permanent residence to short-stay letting.
This is not a new-build project but an existing apartment completed in 1970 and since completely renovated. It is delivered key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. The delivery status is immediate: the buyer can take occupancy or begin rental use directly after completion of the purchase. All dates relating to availability are therefore tied to the transaction itself rather than a building schedule.
The property has one full bathroom plus a guest toilet, which some buyers of three-bedroom homes may consider limited. No private parking space, storage room, garden, swimming pool or communal leisure facilities are listed. The building dates from 1970, so construction standards of the original structure predate current regulations. The asking price is explicitly non-negotiable, and urban views mean there is no open sea view.

This property fits a buyer who wants an occupied, walkable town rather than a gated resort community. Practical situations in which it works well include: a permanent residence for a small household that values having schools, healthcare and shops on the doorstep; a second home for coastal use where proximity to the beach and to Puerto Banús matters more than on-site facilities; or an investment purchase, given the holiday rental licence and the year-round demand of the San Pedro rental market. It suits buyers who accept a 1970 building with a modernised interior in exchange for a central address. The single full bathroom is workable for couples and families with young children, though larger households may find it restrictive. It fits less well for buyers seeking a private pool, garden, garage or panoramic sea views, none of these are present. Nor does it suit anyone wanting new-build construction standards or a development with communal amenities. The urban views and boulevard location mean some street noise should be expected. Buyers prioritising silence over convenience would be better served elsewhere in the region.
The apartment was completed in 1970 and has since undergone a complete renovation. The listing photographs show a contemporary interior: a modern kitchen with tiled splashback and integrated sink, a renewed bathroom with tiled shower and built-in niches for storage, and bedrooms with large windows fitted with white finishes. The glass-enclosed terrace uses Lumon glazing, a system typical of Costa del Sol renovations that extends the usable living area and improves thermal comfort across seasons. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, which covers both cooling in summer and heating in the milder winter months. The south orientation supports passive warmth in winter while the enclosed terrace moderates summer heat. Structurally, the building reflects 1970 construction methods, which buyers should weigh against the updated interior. No information is available in the data on the condition of the building envelope, the roof, or the communal areas beyond the presence of a lift. Technical due diligence, an inspection of the building's ITE (technical inspection of buildings) records and community finances, is a standard step for properties of this age in Spain. The guest toilet receives no natural light, which is common in this building typology. All other rooms benefit from daylight through the south-facing façade.
The apartment carries a fixed asking price of €377,000, which the seller has stated is non-negotiable. It is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build development with a price list, so the figure applies to this specific property and not to a range of unit types. At 109 m² of living space with three bedrooms, the price works out to approximately €3,460 per square metre. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process. The active holiday rental licence is part of the sale and can be relevant for buyers intending to let the property.
Living on the Boulevard de San Pedro means daily life takes place on foot. The street functions as the commercial spine of the town: supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants line the route, and the data confirms the density, 27 restaurants, 11 pharmacies and 13 cafés within two kilometres. A school and eleven banks sit in the same radius, so errands rarely require a car. The apartment itself is oriented south, with an enclosed Lumon-glazed terrace that works as an extra living space in both winter and summer. Natural light reaches every room except the guest toilet. The interior has been renovated, with a modern kitchen and updated bathroom visible in the listing photographs. The rhythm of the area is urban rather than resort-like. The town operates year-round, supported by five health centres and 41 primary schools in the wider area, which signals a resident population rather than a purely seasonal one. Tourism is present, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds are registered in the region, but the boulevard itself serves locals first. For leisure, the beach lies about 1.6 km away as the crow flies, a walkable distance along a moderate 3.3% gradient. Several sports centres, including Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km, cover everyday exercise needs. Public transport is available through ten lines and fifty stops, making regional travel feasible without a private vehicle. Puerto Banús, at roughly 3.4 km, adds marina dining and nightlife within easy reach.
The immediate surroundings are those of a consolidated Spanish town within Marbella municipality. Within two kilometres there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and a school, meaning nearly all daily needs are covered on foot or by a short cycle ride. The wider area counts 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools and five health centres, which indicates substantial public infrastructure beyond the tourist economy. Transport is a strong point. Ten public transport lines serve the area through 50 stops, allowing travel towards Marbella, Estepona and beyond without a car. For drivers, the A-7 coastal road and AP-7 toll motorway connect the town to the whole Costa del Sol; Puerto Banús is a few minutes away and Marbella centre roughly 10 km in a straight line. Recreation within easy reach includes three golf courses, 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, all distances as the crow flies. Sports facilities such as Rocodromo (0.7 km), Apolo (1.0 km) and Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km) cater to everyday training. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 3.4 km and Marbella's Puerto Virgen del Carmen at 9.2 km, offer mooring and waterfront dining.
The map shows the apartment's position on the boulevard of San Pedro de Alcántara, between Marbella to the east and Estepona to the west. Distances shown, such as 1.6 km to the beach and 3.4 km to Puerto Banús, are straight-line measurements; actual road routes may be longer. Note the cluster of golf courses to the north and the beaches to the south.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a strategic position on the western Costa del Sol: 10 km straight-line from Marbella centre, 3.4 km from Puerto Banús and roughly equidistant from the airports of Málaga and Gibraltar (48–49 km). Estepona lies to the west, Algeciras 57 km away. The town functions as a more affordable, more Spanish-flavoured alternative to Marbella proper while sharing the same coastline, golf courses and marina access. With 4,743 housing transactions per year in the area, the local market is among the more liquid on the coast.
The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, lies 1.6 km away in a straight line, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km. The 3.3% gradient towards the coast is moderate and manageable on foot. The area holds two Blue Flag beaches, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, confirming water quality standards at the local coastline. Airports are reasonably accessible for an international owner. Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is approximately 48 km away as the crow flies, and Gibraltar (GIB) roughly 49 km, giving a choice of arrival points from northern Europe. Alicante-Elche at 439 km is not a practical option. By car, the location sits between Marbella (10 km straight-line) and Estepona, with the Supercharger stations at Marbella (6.1 km) and Estepona (7.2 km) useful for electric-vehicle owners. Public transport, ten lines, fifty stops, provides an alternative for regional trips, and the listing confirms the property is near transport stops. A car is convenient but not strictly necessary for daily life here.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits at a low elevation of 53 metres above sea level, so no significant climbs separate the town from the coast. The climate is Mediterranean: the average annual temperature is 19.0°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. Winters are mild enough that the apartment's south orientation and air conditioning can maintain comfortable indoor conditions year-round. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or above, roughly May through September. This defines the practical beach window for residents rather than the theoretical coastline availability. Green and natural surroundings are modest in the immediate radius; the landscape is predominantly urban and agricultural, with viewpoints such as Mirador del Muelle de Honor (3.3 km) and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.9 km) offering walking destinations nearby. Sunshine hours on this stretch of coast are among the highest in Spain, which the enclosed Lumon terrace exploits effectively.

The coastal offer centres on Playa de San Pedro, 1.6 km away as the crow flies, a long sandy beach backed by the seaside promenade that connects towards Puerto Banús. Two Blue Flag beaches serve the area, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, which reflects the water quality and services standard of the local coastline. Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km adds a quieter alternative. Golfers have three courses within 3.2 km straight-line: Magna Marbella Golf (2.3 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.8 km) and El Higueral Golf (3.2 km). Las Brisas in particular is one of the established courses of the Marbella golf scene. For other sports, three centres lie within 1.1 km, Rocodromo, Apolo and Polideportivo San Pedro, covering climbing, general fitness and municipal sports. The marina at Puerto Banús (3.4 km) provides nautical recreation, waterfront restaurants and people-watching, while the two viewpoints at 3.3 km and 4.9 km offer short excursion targets for walkers. The tourist infrastructure, 52 hotels and 12,781 registered beds, supports a full calendar of seasonal services.

Against current new-build alternatives on the western Costa del Sol, this apartment's fixed price of €377,000 (about €3,460/m²) sits above the from-prices of comparable developments further from the Marbella core. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €321,000, though all three are new-build projects on the eastern and western flanks rather than in the San Pedro, Marbella corridor itself. The comparison illustrates the classic trade-off on this coast: new construction buys modern building standards, energy performance and communal facilities, but at lower price points it usually means peripheral locations. This property inverts that equation, the 1970 building trades architectural age for one of the most central addresses in San Pedro, where land values are substantially higher. San Pedro's market context supports the pricing. The wider Marbella municipality records 4,743 housing transactions per year, one of the highest volumes on the Costa del Sol, and the town sits 10 km from Marbella centre and 3.4 km from Puerto Banús, locations where resale prices per square metre regularly exceed €5,000. The tourist infrastructure of 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 registered beds underpins a rental market that operates beyond the summer season. For an investor, the active holiday rental licence is a distinguishing feature that new-build developments increasingly cannot offer, as many recent projects restrict or prohibit short-term letting. For an owner-occupier, the deciding factor will be whether walkable urban convenience outweighs the absence of a pool, garage and modern building envelope. Buyers comparing options should weigh this property against new-build units in Estepona or Mijas on those specific criteria rather than on headline price alone.
