A corner apartment of 127 m² on the third floor of a residential complex in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The dwelling offers three double bedrooms, two fully renovated bathrooms and two terraces with partial side sea views. Shops, cafés and everyday services are within walking distance, while the beach at Playa de San Pedro lies approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies. Built in 2002 and completed to a key-ready standard, the property carries a fixed asking price of €485,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Guadalcántara quarter, in the heart of San Pedro de Alcántara's town centre. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, so daily errands are manageable on foot. Marbella lies 10 km away in a straight line; Málaga and its airport are roughly 48 km distant as the crow flies.
The layout serves households needing three double bedrooms: a living room, a kitchen with utility room, a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, fitted wardrobes throughout and two terraces, one covered. Independent air conditioning is fitted in every room. The west-facing orientation places afternoon and evening light on the outdoor spaces, and a lift serves the third-floor position.
This is an existing home, completed in 2002 and currently key-ready, not a development under construction. The bathrooms have been fully renovated, the flooring has been replaced throughout with porcelain stoneware, and additional fittings include automatic security shutters and a reinforced entrance door. No delivery date applies; the property is available in its present condition.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking space listed in the available data. Outdoor facilities are communal: two swimming pools and a shared green area. Sea views are partial and side-facing rather than frontal. The building dates from 2002, so the construction is more than two decades old despite interior refurbishment.

This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently who wants to dispense with a car for daily life will find the central setting and dense amenity coverage directly relevant. A household needing three genuine double bedrooms, for children, visiting family or a home office, benefits from a layout where each room has fitted storage and the master bedroom has its own bathroom. Retirees seeking a manageable single-level home in a lift-served building, with two communal pools and no garden upkeep, form a second clear group. Investors may note the walkable centre and the strong local rental demand implied by 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 tourist beds in the area, which supports both long-term and short-term letting strategies. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a private pool, private plot or parking space within the title, since none of these are listed. Those seeking frontline beach positions should also note the 1.6 km straight-line distance to the sea. Buyers sensitive to street noise in a town-centre environment should assess the corner position in person before deciding.
The interior has undergone a documented renovation programme. Both bathrooms were fully renewed, with Artelinea furniture, a whirlpool bathtub in the main bathroom, Grohe taps, Brandoni heated towel rails and Duscholux shower screens, brand names that indicate a mid-to-upper specification of sanitary fittings. Throughout the dwelling, the original floors were replaced with self-polishing, scratch-resistant porcelain stoneware, a hard-wearing surface suited to permanent residence and rental use alike. Independent air conditioning units are installed in every room, allowing per-room temperature control, and hot-air heating runs through the same system for winter months. Background music wiring covers the whole home. Security measures include automatic shutters and a reinforced entrance door. The kitchen retains a utility room for laundry and storage. The building itself dates from 2002, so communal structures and installations reflect that construction period rather than current new-build standards; no data on the energy performance or recent upgrades to the building envelope is available. The overall picture is a well-maintained resale property with a recent, coherently executed interior refit rather than a gut renovation.
The property carries a fixed asking price of €485,000. This is an existing home rather than a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-price. The dwelling measures 127 m² of living area with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. For regional context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast advertise from-prices such as €269,950 in Torre del Mar, €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though these concern different locations, typologies and stages of construction. Annual housing transactions in the area number around 4,743, indicating an active resale market. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status.
Life at this address is organised around walkability. The apartment stands in a commercial quarter of San Pedro de Alcántara where groceries, cafés, pharmacies and banks cluster within a short stroll, which removes the need to use the car for routine tasks. Mornings can begin on one of the two terraces; with a west-facing aspect, the strongest light arrives in the afternoon and at sunset, with partial sea views to the side. The corner position adds extra window frontage and urban outlooks over the surrounding streets. The boulevard and the beach lie a short walk from the complex, making an evening stroll to the seafront a realistic part of the daily rhythm. For exercise, three sports centres sit within about a kilometre, including the Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km. The communal pools and green zone provide outdoor space without private maintenance obligations. Outside the summer months, the town retains its year-round Spanish population and services, so restaurants and shops remain open through winter, a contrast with resorts that empty after September. Noise and activity are inherent to a central town setting; buyers seeking seclusion would need to look elsewhere, but those prioritising convenience and proximity to amenities will find the location functions without a car for most daily needs.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense. Within two kilometres, the count of restaurants (27), cafés (13), pharmacies (11) and banks (11) points to a complete everyday infrastructure, and the listing itself states that daily shopping requires no car. A school lies within the same radius, and the wider area counts 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with The International School of Estepona 4.1 km away and the British International School 7.5 km away in straight-line terms. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the locality. Public transport runs on 10 lines with 50 stops, giving car-free access along the coast. The beaches of Playa de San Pedro (1.6 km), Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.9 km) and Playa Atalaya (3.5 km) are all within easy reach, and Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina lies 3.4 km distant as the crow flies. Sports facilities cluster unusually close: a climbing centre at 0.7 km, the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and the municipal Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km. The setting is therefore practical and busy rather than tranquil, a working Andalusian town with a tourist layer.
The map shows the apartment's position within the street grid of central San Pedro de Alcántara, roughly midway between Marbella and Estepona. Note that the distances displayed are straight-line measurements; actual road routes are longer. The concentration of restaurants, schools and services within two kilometres illustrates how compact the daily living environment is.

San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a distinct position within the Marbella municipality: it is a genuine town with its own centre, shops and year-round population, set between Marbella itself 10 km to the east and Estepona to the west. This gives the location a more Spanish, less resort-driven character than the coastal strip immediately around Puerto Banús, while keeping the marina and its amenities within 3.4 km. On the Costa del Sol as a whole, it functions as a midpoint, roughly equidistant in straight-line terms from Málaga and Algeciras (both 57 km), with two airports under 50 km away. For buyers weighing town convenience against coastal recreation, the balance here tilts clearly towards convenience.
Beaches are the nearest major amenity: Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away in a straight line, with an average gradient of 3.3% towards the shore, a moderate slope, walkable for most people. Golf is well represented, with 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. Marbella centre is 10 km distant as the crow flies, while Málaga city and Algeciras both sit at 57 km. Air travel works in two directions: Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) and Gibraltar (GIB) airports lie roughly 48 and 49 km away respectively in straight-line terms, giving a choice of routes. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger, 6.1 km distant, and near Estepona at 7.2 km. With 10 bus lines and 50 stops locally, day-to-day mobility without a private car is realistic, although road distances to the airports will exceed the crow-fly figures.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coldest month to 26°C at the peak of summer, with an annual mean of 19.0°C, the pattern of a warm Mediterranean coastal climate with mild winters. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts about five months, roughly June through October. The town sits at 53 m above sea level, so the terrain is essentially flat apart from the moderate 3.3% gradient down to the beach. For walkers and cyclists, viewpoints such as the Mirador del Muelle de Honor (3.3 km) and the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.9 km) offer coastal scenery within short range. Sunshine hours are ample, which matters practically for the west-facing terraces: these receive afternoon and evening sun, suited to late-day outdoor use rather than breakfast in the open air.

Beach life centres on Playa de San Pedro at 1.6 km straight-line distance, complemented by the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km. The area holds two Blue Flag beaches, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, reflecting water quality and service standards. Golfers can choose among three courses within 3.2 km: Magna Marbella, the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and El Higueral. The marina at Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 3.4 km away, adds berths, waterfront dining and people-watching, with a second marina at Marbella 9.2 km distant. Everyday recreation is covered by three sports centres within about a kilometre, including a dedicated climbing facility and the municipal Polideportivo San Pedro. With 32 local public holidays a year, the calendar is filled with processions, ferias and street events typical of an Andalusian market town.

Against the wider Costa del Sol supply, this property represents the established-resale segment of the central Marbella municipality rather than the new-build market. Comparable advertised projects start materially lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those figures concern newly constructed apartments in different towns, some 40 to 80 km further along the coast, with their own delivery timetables and specifications. A fixed €485,000 asking price for 127 m² of refurbished, key-ready living space in San Pedro de Alcántara reflects the premium the Marbella municipality commands over eastern Málaga province and parts of Estepona. What the buyer obtains here that new-build edge-of-town schemes often cannot match is centrality: a walkable Andalusian town with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, five health centres, 10 bus lines and a full commercial fabric within two kilometres. Conversely, what new-build projects typically offer and this home lacks includes a private parking space, modern energy specifications and communal facilities built to current standards; the 2002 construction carries the infrastructure of its era. The local market depth matters too: roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year in the area indicate liquidity for resale, relevant to anyone weighing future exit options. Tourism capacity, 52 hotels and about 12,800 beds, supports short-term rental demand, though any letting strategy must comply with local licensing rules.
