This key-ready apartment is situated in the San Pedro Playa district of San Pedro de Alcántara, within the Edificio Corona, approximately 800 metres from the seafront promenade and beach. The property offers 123 m² of living space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living-dining room, an independent kitchen with a utility area, and a west-facing terrace with side sea views. Built in 2006, it forms part of an established residential complex with communal gardens and a swimming pool. A private parking space and storage room are included in the asking price of €620,000. The town lies within the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in a beachside, urbanised part of San Pedro de Alcántara, roughly 800 metres from the promenade and about 1.6 km as the crow flies from Playa de San Pedro. The centre of San Pedro is within easy reach, and Marbella lies 10 km away in a straight line. Shops, supermarkets, banks and schools are all found in the immediate surroundings.
The layout serves three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 123 m², with an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a separate utility room. The covered, west-facing terrace provides afternoon and evening sun plus side sea views. Air conditioning (hot and cold) is installed. A lift serves the building, and a private parking space and storage room are included.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2006 and is described as key-ready and in excellent condition, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The residential complex is established, with mature communal gardens and a communal swimming pool with loungers and parasols.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. There is no private garden, only shared landscaped grounds. The building dates from 2006, so it is not a recent development. Sea views are partial and sideways from the terrace, not panoramic. No plot or outdoor space beyond the terrace is included.

This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A family needing three proper bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a school within two kilometres and 41 primary schools plus 28 secondary schools across the wider area, gains a workable permanent base. Buyers relocating to the Costa del Sol who want immediate occupancy, no construction delay, no off-plan risk, benefit from the key-ready status and the 2006 construction with described excellent condition. Purchasers seeking a second home within walking distance of the beach will value the 800-metre distance to the promenade, the communal pool for days when the sea feels too far, and the terrace for evening use during the five-month swimming season. Households with one car, or none, can manage daily life on foot given the density of shops, restaurants and pharmacies within two kilometres, plus 50 public transport stops across 10 lines in the town. The private parking space covers the occasional trip to Marbella, Puerto Banús or the airports. What fits less well: buyers wanting a private pool or garden, a frontline beach position with unobstructed sea views, or a brand-new build with modern energy standards. The sideways sea views and communal facilities define the compromise here, a central, established location in exchange for shared outdoor amenities and partial views.
The apartment was completed in 2006 and is presented in excellent condition, with photographic material showing a modern bathroom with bathtub and sink unit, a living room with sofa and television, and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The specification list confirms fitted wardrobes throughout the sleeping areas and an ensuite bathroom in the principal bedroom, features that reduce the need for immediate furnishing investment. Climate control consists of air conditioning with both cooling and heating functions, which covers the Costa del Sol's summer temperatures of up to around 26°C average monthly highs and the mild winters that average 12°C at the coldest point. The kitchen is independent and includes a separate utility room, a layout that keeps appliances and laundry out of the main living areas. The terrace is covered, meaning it stays usable during the stronger midday sun and light rain, while its west orientation captures afternoon and evening light. Technically, the building has a lift, and the purchase includes a private parking space plus a storage room in the price. The communal areas, gardens and a swimming pool with loungers and parasols, are described as well maintained, indicating an active community management. As a 2006 build, the property predates current new-build energy standards; buyers focused on thermal performance should verify insulation and window quality during a viewing. Overall, the finishing level is that of a cared-for, ready-to-occupy resale apartment rather than a newly delivered development.
The asking price is fixed at €620,000 and includes a private parking space and a storage room, two assets that carry separate value in coastal Marbella. At 123 m² of living space, this equates to roughly €5,040 per square metre. The property is key-ready with no construction phase or waiting period; completion follows the standard Spanish purchase process once contracts are signed. As an existing home built in 2006, the price reflects a finished, immediately usable residence in an established complex with communal gardens and pool, rather than an off-plan commitment with staged payments.
Daily life here revolves around a compact, walkable beachside neighbourhood. The seafront promenade lies about 800 metres away, which places evening walks and morning swims within a ten-to-fifteen minute stroll. The gradient towards the beach is moderate at 3.3%, so the walk back involves a gentle but noticeable incline rather than steep steps. The apartment's west-facing terrace extends the living space outdoors: afternoon sun arrives from midday onwards, making it usable for outdoor meals from spring through autumn, and side sea views add a coastal dimension without full frontline positioning. Inside, the floor plan separates practical zones: an independent kitchen with its own utility area keeps laundry and storage out of view, while the ensuite bathroom attached to one bedroom reduces morning congestion for a family or visiting guests. Three bedrooms and 123 m² suit a household that needs genuine second and third bedrooms rather than flexible space. The surrounding area functions year-round. Within two kilometres there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, plus a school. The commercial setting means groceries and daily errands are handled on foot. Sports facilities such as the Rocodromo climbing wall (0.7 km as the crow flies), the Apolo centre (1.0 km) and the Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km) provide indoor and outdoor training options nearby. The building itself, completed in 2006, has a lift, and the communal pool gives residents a swimming option closer to home than the beach.
The neighbourhood is commercial and beachside, combining residential calm with year-round services. Within a two-kilometre radius, residents count 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, a density that means most daily needs are met without a car. A school lies within the same radius, and healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area. The immediate setting is described as urbanisation with proximity to shops, the sea and public transport; 50 stops across 10 lines serve San Pedro de Alcántara. For recreation, the promenade roughly 800 metres away connects walkers and cyclists along the coast, while Playa de San Pedro sits 1.6 km away as the crow flies and Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km. Sports facilities cluster close by: the Rocodromo at 0.7 km, the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and the Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km, all straight-line distances. The area's tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds, means the town stays active and serviced outside the summer months, with the trade-off of busier periods in high season.
The map shows the apartment's position in the San Pedro Playa district, with the promenade roughly 800 metres to the south and the town centre nearby. Marbella lies 10 km east, Puerto Banús 3.4 km along the coast, and the beaches, golf courses and sports facilities listed above are marked with their direct distances. Straight-line distances are shown; road routes may be longer.

San Pedro de Alcántara forms part of the municipality of Marbella, positioned 10 km as the crow flies west of Marbella centre and roughly equidistant, about 48 and 49 km straight-line, from the airports of Málaga and Gibraltar. This places the town in the central western Costa del Sol, between Marbella and Estepona, with Puerto Banús just 3.4 km away. The local housing market records 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active, liquid market. The town combines a year-round Spanish residential base with significant tourism infrastructure, positioning it as a working coastal town rather than a seasonal resort enclave.
The beach is the anchor amenity: Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with the promenade about 800 metres from the building on foot. Marbella centre is 10 km straight-line, while Málaga city and Algeciras both sit at 57 km. Two airports serve the location: Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 48 km straight-line and Gibraltar at about 49 km, a dual-airport position unusual on this coast. Actual driving distances and times will be longer than these direct figures. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina at Puerto Banús, is 3.4 km away as the crow flies, close enough for an evening visit. Golfers can reach 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. Public transport comprises 10 lines with 50 stops in the town, and the apartment is listed as near transport. Electric-vehicle drivers find the Marbella Supercharger 6.1 km away and the Estepona Supercharger at 7.2 km, both straight-line. A private parking space is included with the property.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits at 53 metres above sea level with a moderate 3.3% gradient towards the sea, a gentle slope that makes the walk to the beach feasible on foot for most residents. The climate is classic Costa del Sol: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts five months, roughly late May through October. This length supports regular sea swimming and terrace use across two-thirds of the year. The west-facing orientation of the terrace aligns with the climate: afternoons and evenings are the warmest, driest part of the day here, and the covered structure keeps the space usable even at peak sun. Nature options nearby include the Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint at 3.3 km and the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.9 km, both straight-line. The area records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal calendar of festivals and events.

The closest beach, Playa de San Pedro, lies 1.6 km away in a direct line, with the promenade just 800 metres from the building. Two Blue Flag beaches serve the wider Marbella coastline: Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, a modest count by Costa del Sol standards but an indicator of water quality and services at those locations. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.9 km) adds a dog-friendly option, while Playa Atalaya extends the choice at 3.5 km. Golf is a defining recreational feature of this stretch: Magna Marbella Golf (2.3 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.8 km) and El Higueral Golf (3.2 km) all sit within a few minutes' drive. For organised sport, the Rocodromo climbing facility (0.7 km), the Apolo centre (1.0 km) and the Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km) cover indoor training and municipal sports. Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 3.4 km offers marina-based leisure, dining and boat access. The communal pool within the residential complex itself provides a swimming option without leaving home.

At €620,000, this resale apartment sits well above the entry prices of new-build developments elsewhere on 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 projects are new constructions, so the comparison is not direct: this property offers immediate availability, an established complex with mature gardens, and a central San Pedro location, while the newer projects offer modern build standards at the cost of off-plan waiting periods and, generally, less central positions. Per square metre, the apartment works out at roughly €5,040, a figure consistent with mature, well-located stock in the Marbella municipality, where annual housing transactions reach 4,743 and demand is supported by year-round tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds. Within San Pedro itself, the San Pedro Playa district commands a premium over inland neighbourhoods because of the 800-metre walk to the promenade and the density of services, 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks within two kilometres. Positioned 10 km from Marbella centre and 3.4 km from Puerto Banús, the location offers quicker access to the marina and its leisure economy than most of Marbella proper, while retaining a genuine Spanish town base rather than a resort-only character. Buyers comparing this property against new-build options in Estepona, Mijas or Torre del Mar are effectively weighing immediate occupancy and centrality against newer construction and lower entry prices. The included parking space and storage room add concrete value that off-plan price lists often price separately.
