This four-bedroom duplex of 264 m² is situated in the Casablanca Beach front-line complex in San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property was completed in 2005 and is available key-ready, with three bathrooms, a south-facing orientation, sea views and two underground parking spaces. The asking price is fixed at €1,690,000. San Pedro lies roughly 10 km from Marbella centre, with Playa de San Pedro about 1.6 km away as the crow flies and Puerto Banús within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The duplex stands in a front-line beach complex in San Pedro de Alcántara, west of Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, lies approximately 1.6 km away in a straight line, while Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 3.4 km distant. Shops, restaurants and schools are concentrated within the town itself, which functions year-round as a residential community rather than a seasonal resort.
The property offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, with 264 m² of living space and a layout that separates the sleeping and living areas. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold settings. Two underground parking spaces are included. A communal pool serves the complex, and the south-facing orientation supports outdoor use of the terraces for most of the year.
This is an existing home, completed in 2005 and described as being in excellent condition. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to consider; the property is key-ready, meaning ownership can transfer directly after the standard Spanish purchase process. The 2005 completion date places it within a mature, established complex with settled community structures.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the complex. The listing contains no mention of a private garden, and outdoor space is limited to terraces. There is no information about a lift, storage room or staff accommodation. The gradient from the complex towards the beach is moderate at 3.3%, which may be relevant for anyone with limited mobility.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently benefits from the four-bedroom layout, the proximity of schools, 41 primary and 28 secondary schools serve the wider area, with an international option 4.1 km away, and the everyday infrastructure of San Pedro itself. A household seeking a second home within a front-line complex gets direct beach access without the maintenance burden of a private villa, since the pool and grounds are communal. Buyers prioritising space over newness will find the two-level plan with 264 m² larger than most new apartments at comparable locations. The property also suits buyers who want an established community: a 2005 building has a settled owners' association, and any structural issues would have surfaced by now, unlike off-plan purchases. It is less obviously suited to buyers wanting a private pool, a private garden or brand-new energy specifications, those requirements point towards detached villas or recent developments further inland. Households without a car can manage here better than in most coastal locations: ten bus lines and 50 stops serve San Pedro, and the town's amenities cluster within walking distance. Investors should note the rental appeal of a front-line position with sea views, while accepting that the 2005 construction date and communal setting place it in a different segment from newly built premium product in Marbella and Estepona. In short, the property matches buyers who value location and floor area above contemporary build date.
The property was completed in 2005 and is recorded as being in excellent condition, with the listing images showing a contemporary interior: a living room with a piano and wall art, and bedrooms with modern furnishings, a teal feature wall and a round mirror detail. Specific materials are not itemised in the data, so no claims are made here about floor finishes, kitchen brands or sanitary ware beyond what is visible. What can be stated factually is the climate installation: air conditioning units supply both hot and cold air, which covers temperature control across the local climate range of roughly 12°C in winter months to 26°C in summer. The south-facing orientation reduces heating demand in winter, as the living spaces collect low-angle sun during the cooler months. As a duplex within a front-line complex, the construction follows the Mediterranean apartment-building typology of the early 2000s: concrete frame, rendered façades and shared circulation to the underground car park, where two spaces are allocated to this home. Buyers carrying out due diligence should verify the age of the climate systems, the condition of windows and glazing, significant for both sea-view comfort and acoustic insulation from the coastline, and the community's maintenance records for the pool and building fabric. A technical survey is standard practice for a property of this age and value, and the community's financial reserves should be reviewed through the administrator. No information is available in the data about thermal insulation standards, energy performance certificates or recent renovations, so these points belong on the buyer's verification list rather than in any assumption of quality.
The asking price is fixed at €1,690,000 for this existing duplex; it is not part of a new-build price list and should not be read as a starting figure. The price covers a key-ready property of 264 m² with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two underground parking spaces and use of the communal pool. Compared with new-build developments elsewhere on the coast, this price reflects the front-line beach position within Marbella municipality rather than recent construction; the building dates from 2005. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase procedure and community regulations. Running costs such as community fees and annual property tax are not stated in the listing data.
Daily life in this duplex centres on the combination of a front-line coastal position and the practical infrastructure of a functioning Andalusian town. San Pedro de Alcántara is not a purpose-built resort; it has a permanent population, a weekly market, local schools and health centres, and a commercial centre along its main boulevard. Within two kilometres of the property, the data shows 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, which means most daily errands can be completed on foot or by a short drive. The duplex itself works horizontally across two levels: the living floor holds the lounge, dining area and kitchen, while the four bedrooms and three bathrooms occupy the sleeping level. This division reduces noise transfer between daytime and night-time zones, a practical point for families or households with guests. The south orientation extends the usable hours of the terraces, and the sea views from the upper level are a consistent feature of the layout. Mornings can begin with light over the Mediterranean, and the beach is close enough for an evening walk without planning around it. Sports facilities are genuinely nearby: three sports centres sit within about a kilometre, including Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km. Golfers have three courses within 3.2 km, led by Magna Marbella Golf at 2.3 km. The communal pool covers the swimming need that the sea does not, particularly outside the roughly five-month season when sea temperatures exceed 20°C. Out of season, the town retains its activity, and the 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds in the wider area indicate a service economy that stays open beyond the summer months.
The immediate environment is urban-coastal. San Pedro de Alcántara sits at 53 m above sea level, and the 3.3% gradient to the beach is gentle enough for walking, meaning the sea is reachable on foot in most cases. Within two kilometres, the density of daily services is high: 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks cover routine needs without driving. Healthcare access is solid, with five health centres recorded in the area, and the tourist infrastructure, 52 hotels with nearly 13,000 beds, supports a year-round hospitality sector. For sport, the Rocodromo climbing facility lies 0.7 km away, sports centre Apolo 1.0 km, and Polideportivo San Pedro 1.1 km. Public transport consists of ten lines with 50 stops, which is unusually good for a town of this size and reduces dependence on a car for local trips. The A-7 coastal motorway connects west towards Estepona and Gibraltar and east towards Marbella and Málaga, so regional mobility is straightforward. The area's character shifts with the calendar: summer brings beach tourism and livelier streets, while the off-season returns the town to its resident rhythm. Marbella centre is 10 km away in a straight line, close enough for an evening out, and the median provincial income of €16,450 places the local economy in a moderate range, though San Pedro's coastal strip itself sits above that average.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol: 10 km from Marbella, adjacent to Puerto Banús, and roughly equidistant by air from Málaga and Gibraltar airports at about 48 and 49 km respectively. Within Marbella municipality it is the more residential counterpart to the resort nuclei of Golden Mile and Banús, with its own town centre and services. Estepona lies further west, and the data's comparable new-build projects, Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, all sit in lower price brackets and different sub-markets, underlining that this property competes on location within Marbella rather than on price per square metre.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances run longer. Playa de San Pedro is 1.6 km away, with the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the nearest marina, is 3.4 km away, and Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen in Marbella 9.2 km. Three golf courses lie close by: 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, Málaga city 57 km, and Algeciras 57 km. Airports split conveniently in two directions: Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is roughly 48 km away and Gibraltar (GIB) roughly 49 km, giving a choice of carriers. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger, 6.1 km away, and near Estepona at 7.2 km. Within the town, ten public transport lines and 50 stops make local travel feasible without a car, and an international school option, The International School of Estepona, sits 4.1 km away with a British international school 7.5 km distant.

San Pedro's climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.0°C and monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. Practically, this means heating needs are modest and concentrated in a few winter months, while air conditioning, installed here for both hot and cold, covers the summer peak. The swimming season in local waters runs roughly five months, during which sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above; outside that window, the communal pool and indoor facilities take over. The town sits at 53 m elevation, low by Costa del Sol standards, so no significant altitude adjustment applies and cycling or walking is comfortable. Rainfall data is not specified, but the regional pattern concentrates precipitation in autumn and winter, leaving long dry stretches from late spring through early autumn. For nature beyond the beach, two viewpoints are recorded nearby: Mirador del Muelle de Honor at 3.3 km and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.9 km, both suitable for short outings. The coastline orientation gives the property its south-facing aspect, which maximises daylight hours on the terraces throughout the year and supports the indoor-outdoor living pattern typical of the region.

The beach offering near the property is varied. Playa de San Pedro, 1.6 km away in a straight line, is the nearest option and benefits from the town's promenade infrastructure. Two beaches in the immediate area, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, carry Blue Flag status, indicating water quality, safety services and accessibility standards. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km is designated dog-friendly, a rarity on this coast and relevant for pet owners. Golf is a defining recreational asset here: three courses within 3.2 km include Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of the established names of the Marbella golf scene. Marinas at Puerto Banús (3.4 km) and Marbella (9.2 km) provide berths, water sports and the associated dining and shopping. Land-based sport is covered by three centres within about a kilometre, including the Polideportivo San Pedro. For walking and viewpoints, Mirador del Muelle de Honor and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos offer short scenic routes. The area's tourism scale, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, means restaurant and leisure supply stays broad outside the peak season, an advantage for year-round residents.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this duplex competes in a specific segment: existing, front-line product inside Marbella municipality. The comparable projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), are all new-build developments in lower-priced sub-markets east and west of Marbella. The gap between those entry prices and this property's fixed €1,690,000 asking price is explained mainly by location rather than by size or build date. Torre del Mar and Mijas are further from the Marbella-Puerto Banús core; Estepona has grown considerably but remains a distinct, cheaper market. What the buyer pays for here is the front-line beach position with sea views, walking access to San Pedro's town infrastructure, and proximity, 3.4 km, to Puerto Banús. Against new-build apartments in Marbella itself, the trade-off reverses: this property offers more floor area and an established community, but a 2005 construction date instead of contemporary specifications and communal facilities designed to current standards. Buyers comparing it with villas in the Guadalmina or Atalaya areas would find those offer private plots and pools at broadly similar budgets, but without the direct beachfront setting or the two-level apartment format that requires less maintenance. San Pedro's own market context supports steady demand: 4,743 housing transactions per year are recorded in the area, indicating liquidity, and the town's year-round population differentiates it from purely seasonal resorts further along the coast. In regional terms, the property represents a middle path: more residential than Banús, more central than Estepona, and more beach-oriented than inland Marbella developments.
