This duplex penthouse is located in San Pedro de Alcántara, a town within the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Completed in 2017, the property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 81 m² of living space, complemented by a private terrace on the lower level and a solarium above. The asking price is €650,000, and a parking space in the building's basement is included. The complex has a communal pool and sits in a suburban, beachside setting roughly 700 metres from the seafront promenade.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in San Pedro de Alcántara, about 10 km from central Marbella. Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and Puerto Banús marina 3.4 km. The surrounding area is suburban and commercial, with the Boulevard shopping and leisure zone within walking distance according to the seller's description.
The home is configured for two occupants or a small family: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fully fitted multifunctional kitchen. A covered terrace and an upper-level solarium extend the usable space outdoors. Air conditioning, double glazing, fitted wardrobes and a lift address everyday comfort, while the communal pool serves seasonal use.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2017 and the property is key-ready, allowing immediate transfer of use after purchase. The condition is recorded as good. Delivery and completion dates for existing properties are indicative and depend on the transaction process between buyer and seller.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garden or sea views; recorded views are of the mountains, the urban surroundings and the street. Orientation is north-west, which limits direct afternoon sun on the main terrace. Living space is 81 m² with two bedrooms, so the layout suits smaller households. No storage room beyond the included parking space is listed.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance base on the Costa del Sol will find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout and 81 m² footprint manageable, with the solarium adding outdoor space without garden upkeep. Buyers prioritising walkability, the ability to reach restaurants, pharmacies and the beach without a car, will find the density of services within 2 km directly relevant. Part-year residents benefit from the lift, the included parking space and the lock-up practicality of an apartment in a managed complex. Those who want evening sun on a private roof terrace, given the north-west orientation, will find the solarium matches that routine. It suits buyers who value Puerto Banús proximity (3.4 km) without paying Banús prices. It is less suited to households needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or direct sea views, none of which this home provides. Buyers seeking a larger new-build property at a lower entry price may find the comparable developments in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona relevant, though those lie further from Marbella's centre.
The building dates from 2017, placing it within the current wave of Costa del Sol construction that routinely includes double glazing, fitted kitchens and pre-installation for climate control. This home records air conditioning and double glazing, which together address the two main comfort factors of the Andalusian climate: summer heat and traffic noise in a commercial district. The kitchen is fully fitted and described as multifunctional, with the photographic record showing a modern kitchen including a microwave and oven. Bathrooms are equipped with showers, and both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, a practical detail that saves on immediate furnishing costs. The interior condition is recorded as good, consistent with a seven-year-old property. Points a buyer should inspect directly: the state of the communal pool and its maintenance regime, the technical condition of the air conditioning unit, and the waterproofing of the solarium, which is the most exposure-prone surface of any penthouse. A lift serves the building, and the covered terrace provides a usable outdoor space in shoulder seasons and midday heat. The overall picture is of a modern, mid-specification finish rather than a premium refurbishment, appropriate to the price segment.
The asking price is a fixed €650,000 for this existing duplex penthouse, including the basement parking space. This is not a price-list project; the figure applies to this specific home as offered. At 81 m² of living space, the price reflects the San Pedro de Alcántara position within Marbella municipality rather than the interior surface alone, the terrace and solarium, communal pool and walkable town centre form part of the equation. Availability is immediate in principle, as the property is key-ready; the actual transfer date depends on the purchase process. Prospective buyers should verify community fees, annual IBI tax and any pending works with the seller's documents.
Daily life here revolves around a compact town centre with an unusually dense service network for its size: within 2 km there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, meaning groceries, healthcare and dining are reachable on foot. The seller describes the complex itself as quiet, despite the commercial setting. The lower level holds the two bedrooms, both bathrooms and the fitted kitchen, with a terrace off the living area; the upper level is a private solarium used for sunbathing or entertaining. The north-west orientation means morning light enters the bedrooms while the solarium catches the later hours. The beach and the Paseo Marítimo, which runs towards Puerto Banús and Marbella, sit roughly 700 metres from the door according to the listing, making an evening walk along the coast a routine option rather than a planned trip. A lift serves the building and one parking space in the basement is included, which matters in a commercial district where street parking fills up in summer. Public transport is well developed for the region: 10 bus lines and 50 stops serve the town, and the area records 4,743 housing transactions per year, an active market by provincial standards.
The immediate environment combines suburban residential streets with a commercial centre. Within a 2 km radius, the recorded amenities, 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and a school, mean almost every daily errand is a walk rather than a drive. Sports facilities are close: Rocodromo climbing wall at 0.7 km, the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km offer municipal sports options. The beach at Playa de San Pedro is 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate 3.3% gradient on the walking route. For families considering longer-term residence, the wider area lists 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international options such as The International School of Estepona (4.1 km) and the British International School (7.5 km). Healthcare access includes five health centres in the area. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, which means the town is lively in high season and quieter in winter, a rhythm worth knowing when assessing how the neighbourhood feels year-round.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a practical middle position on the western Costa del Sol: 10 km from Marbella centre, 3.4 km from Puerto Banús and within reach of both Málaga (57 km straight-line) and Algeciras (57 km). It functions as Marbella's more workaday neighbour, more services and year-round residents than the resort strips, fewer resort prices. For property buyers, that translates into genuine town living with the Marbella coastline at close range.
Distances are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, lies 1.6 km away; other options include Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is 3.4 km away, and central Marbella 10 km. Golfers have three courses within a short radius: 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. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 48 km away and Gibraltar airport 49 km, giving two flight options. Electric-vehicle drivers can use the Marbella Supercharger at 6.1 km or the Estepona Supercharger at 7.2 km. Public transport covers the town with 10 lines and 50 stops, so day-to-day mobility without a car is realistic, though a car remains useful for Marbella, Estepona and airport runs.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits at 53 metres above sea level on a gentle coastal plain, the 3.3% gradient to the beach is moderate and comfortably walkable. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.0°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season runs about five months, during which sea water stays at or above 20°C, roughly May through September. Sunshine hours follow the Costa del Sol pattern of around 300 days of sun per year, which makes the solarium usable for most of the year rather than a summer-only feature. Rainfall is concentrated in short winter periods. The mountain views recorded from the property reflect the Sierra's backdrop behind the town; the coastal position keeps winters mild enough that heating needs are limited, while the recorded air conditioning covers the July and August peaks.

The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro at 1.6 km, forms part of a broad, family-oriented stretch of coast, and the Paseo Marítimo connects walkers and cyclists towards Puerto Banús in one direction and Marbella in the other. The wider municipality holds two Blue Flag beaches, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, a recognised water-quality standard. Three golf courses sit within 3.2 km of the property: Magna Marbella Golf, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and El Higueral Golf, an unusually tight cluster by regional standards. For other recreation, the Rocodromo climbing facility (0.7 km), the Apolo sports centre (1.0 km) and Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km) cover indoor and municipal sports. Two viewpoints, Mirador del Muelle de Honor (3.3 km) and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.9 km), offer coastal walks with a destination.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this property competes on location rather than space. Comparable new-build projects at lower entry points exist, 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 all three sit considerably further from Marbella and Puerto Banús, and from-price figures reflect the cheapest unit type in each development rather than a finished, individual home. At €650,000 for 81 m², this penthouse trades at roughly €8,000 per m² of interior space, a figure that only makes sense once the terrace, solarium and address are included: San Pedro de Alcántara sits inside Marbella municipality, 10 km from the centre and 3.4 km from Puerto Banús, with a density of daily services (27 restaurants, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks within 2 km) that the eastern Costa developments cannot match. Buyers comparing options should weigh this trade-off directly: more square metres and modern communal facilities further east, versus an established town position here with immediate walkability and the Marbella coastline at close range. The resale context also differs, San Pedro falls within a market recording 4,743 annual housing transactions, providing liquidity that smaller resort developments may lack. Whether that premium is justified depends on the buyer's priority: year-round living convenience or maximum property for the budget.
