This duplex penthouse is located on the main pedestrian avenue of San Pedro de Alcántara, a town within the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers approximately 147 m² of built living space with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, and is completed by an 87 m² rooftop terrace with a private jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen and 360-degree views over the town, La Concha mountain and the Mediterranean Sea. The asking price is fixed at €795,000. The building dates from 1971 and the home is delivered key-ready, with restaurants, shops, supermarkets and the beach promenade all within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse sits in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, on a pedestrianised shopping avenue. Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, while Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 3.4 km and Marbella 10 km straight-line. Restaurants, cafés, banks, pharmacies and a school are all within a 2 km radius, making daily errands possible on foot.
The layout combines three bedrooms, four bathrooms and open-plan living areas across two levels. Two bedrooms are en-suite. The south-east orientation provides natural light throughout the day, and the 87 m² rooftop terrace functions as an additional outdoor living floor with jacuzzi, dining area and fully equipped outdoor kitchen including fridge, dishwasher and BBQ.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1971 and the penthouse is offered as an existing home in turnkey condition. Key-ready means no waiting period for delivery: the buyer can move in directly after completion of the purchase process. Renovation status and technical installations can be assessed during a viewing.
The property does not include a private garden or a communal swimming pool; the private pool reference concerns the jacuzzi on the rooftop terrace. There is no mention of a private garage or storage room in the data provided. Parking in the town centre depends on public facilities. As an existing building from 1971, the installation levels may differ from current new-build standards.

This property suits buyers who want to be in a town rather than in an isolated urbanisation. A household that values walking to restaurants, shops and the beach without depending on a car for daily errands will find the pedestrian avenue location directly relevant. The layout works for permanent residence: three bedrooms and four bathrooms, two of them en-suite, provide space for a family or for regular guests. It equally functions as a high-comfort second home, since the turnkey condition means no renovation work is needed before first use. The rooftop terrace with jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen fits a pattern of extensive outdoor living for most of the year, supported by an average annual temperature of 19°C. Buyers seeking a large garden, a communal pool or a private garage should note that these are not part of the offer. The 1971 construction year means the building predates current new-build standards, which can matter for buyers comparing against newly delivered developments along the coast. For those prioritising views, light and centrality over suburban quiet, the profile matches; for those seeking seclusion or resort facilities, other options in the region may fit better.
The interior is described as turnkey with contemporary finishes, clean architectural lines and quality materials. Photographs show a modern living room with large windows and a bedroom with wooden flooring, indicating a recent interior refurbishment of the living spaces. The practical equipment is concrete: air conditioning is installed for climate control, and a lift serves the building, which matters for access to an upper-level duplex. The bathrooms, four in total, two en-suite, are finished to match the renovated interior. The most substantial technical feature is the rooftop level: an 87 m² terrace occupying the entire upper floor, fitted with a private jacuzzi, lounge and dining areas and an outdoor kitchen with fridge, dishwasher and BBQ. The south-east orientation of the terrace supports sunlight exposure during the first half of the day. As with any property built in 1971, the underlying structure, plumbing and electrical installations should be verified during the technical inspection that normally forms part of a Spanish purchase process. The overall condition is listed as excellent, and the home is delivered ready for immediate occupancy without further works.
The asking price is €795,000, fixed for this existing home. This equates to roughly €5,300 per m² of built area, before notary costs, taxes and registration fees. The price reflects the central location, the turnkey condition and above all the 87 m² private rooftop terrace, which effectively doubles the usable outdoor space. Availability is immediate: the property is key-ready and can be transferred as soon as the standard Spanish purchase process is completed.

Living here means residing in the heart of a walkable Andalusian town rather than in a gated resort or an urbanisation on the outskirts. The penthouse opens onto a pedestrianised avenue with boutiques, cafés and supermarkets within a few minutes' walk. Mornings can start with sunlight on the south-east facing terrace, with views stretching from the rooftops of San Pedro to the summit of La Concha and the sea. The rooftop level is arranged as a full outdoor living floor: a jacuzzi at one end, a lounge and dining area in the middle, and an outdoor kitchen with fridge, dishwasher and BBQ, which allows meals to be prepared and served entirely outside. The interior distributes three bedrooms and four bathrooms across approximately 147 m² built, with two en-suite bedrooms and bright open-plan living and dining areas. Daily life requires little driving: the bakery, pharmacy, bank and restaurants of the town centre are on the doorstep, the beach promenade is a short stroll away, and sports facilities such as Polideportivo San Pedro lie 1.1 km away. The pedestrianised setting keeps the immediate street quiet, though the town centre naturally carries more activity than a residential suburb. Outside the summer months, San Pedro remains a functioning Spanish town with a permanent population, so cafés, schools and services stay open year-round rather than closing after the season.
The immediate surroundings are those of a consolidated town centre. Within 2 km, the data counts 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and a school, which describes an environment where nearly all daily needs are met on foot. Education in the wider area is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international options such as The International School of Estepona at 4.1 km and the British International School at 7.5 km straight-line. Healthcare is represented by 5 health centres in the area. The pedestrianised avenue in front of the building keeps car traffic out of the immediate street, while bus connectivity is available through 10 public transport lines with 50 stops. Sports facilities are close: a climbing wall at 0.7 km, the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km. The mix of tourist infrastructure, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds, means the town is busy in summer but retains its permanent residential base outside the season, with 4,743 housing transactions per year indicating an active local property market.
The map shows the penthouse's position on the pedestrian avenue in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, with the beach 1.6 km to the southeast as the crow flies and the golf cluster of Magna Marbella, Las Brisas and El Higueral to the northeast. Puerto Banús appears at 3.4 km and Marbella 10 km along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
San Pedro de Alcántara is part of the municipality of Marbella, positioned between Marbella town (10 km straight-line) and Estepona along the western Costa del Sol. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 57 km away, while Algeciras is at the same straight-line distance to the southwest. This places the property in one of the most established sections of the coast: close to Puerto Banús and the golf valley, yet in a genuine Spanish town with its own schools, health centres and year-round commerce rather than in a purpose-built resort enclave.
Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with the dog beach Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km; the gradient from town to beach is a moderate 3.3%, so the walk back is a gentle climb rather than a steep one. Marbella is 10 km straight-line and Puerto Deportivo José Banús 3.4 km, putting marina dining and shopping within a short drive. 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. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 48 km away straight-line and Gibraltar Airport approximately 49 km, giving access to two international airports at comparable distance; actual road travel to either takes longer than the direct distance suggests. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger, 6.1 km away. A car is useful for excursions and airport runs, but not strictly necessary for daily life given the walkable centre and bus lines.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits at 53 m above sea level, low enough that the beach is a gentle walk rather than a hillside descent. The climate is Mediterranean with monthly average temperatures ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, averaging 19°C across the year. The swimming season lasts about five months, with sea temperatures of 20°C or above. This combination supports outdoor use of the rooftop terrace for most of the year, not only in summer: the south-east orientation captures morning and midday sun, while the jacuzzi extends usable evenings into the cooler months. The natural backdrop is the Sierra de las Nieves foothills, visible from the terrace through the sightline to La Concha, Marbella's characteristic 1,215 m peak. Viewpoints such as Mirador del Muelle de Honor at 3.3 km and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.9 km offer walking destinations in the immediate surroundings.

The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro at 1.6 km straight-line, is a broad urban beach backed by the boulevard and promenade mentioned in the property description. The area holds two Blue Flag beaches, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, which marks them for water quality and facilities. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 3.4 km away, provides marina berths, waterfront restaurants and the associated nightlife of Puerto Banús. Golf is a defining recreational asset here: three courses, Magna Marbella (2.3 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.8 km) and El Higueral (3.2 km), lie within a short drive, an unusually tight cluster even by Costa del Sol standards. For organised sport, the climbing facility at 0.7 km, Apolo at 1.0 km and the municipal Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km cover indoor and outdoor options. The rooftop terrace itself functions as private recreation space with jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen, reducing dependence on shared facilities.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this penthouse occupies a different segment from the new-build projects typically marketed along the coast. Comparable developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) all offer new construction at considerably lower entry prices, but they are located in areas further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core and generally provide standard apartments with communal facilities rather than a private rooftop level of this scale. The €795,000 fixed asking price here reflects three factors: the address inside San Pedro de Alcántara's town centre within the municipality of Marbella, the 87 m² private terrace with jacuzzi and full outdoor kitchen, and the turnkey interior condition. Per square metre of built area, the price sits around €5,300, which is consistent with renovated centre properties in this part of Marbella municipality, where the housing market records 4,743 transactions per year. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should consider the trade-offs explicitly: new developments offer modern insulation, current energy standards and often communal pools and garages, while this 1971 building offers location, view and private outdoor space that new projects in this price range on this stretch of coast rarely combine. The proximity of three golf courses within 3.2 km and Puerto Banús at 3.4 km positions the property in the recreational heart of the coast, something the lower-priced comparables in Torre del Mar and Mijas cannot match by distance.
