This corner duplex penthouse is situated in the Jardines Colgantes gated community, within the Marbella Hill Club enclave on Marbella's Golden Mile. The property offers 223 m² of built space across two levels, complemented by 135 m² of terraces including an upper terrace with a private pool, outdoor kitchen and barbecue area. Originally completed in 1989 and fully renovated in 2025, the residence comprises three en-suite bedrooms and a guest toilet. The elevated position at the highest point of the urbanisation provides views over the Mediterranean and the surrounding coastline, with La Concha mountain in the near distance. The asking price is €2,595,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies on the Golden Mile corridor between central Marbella and Puerto Banús, at an elevation of approximately 81 metres above sea level. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is around 1.3 km away, reachable by car or a walk with a moderate gradient of roughly 4.9%. Marbella's municipal centre, with its old town and marina facilities, lies within a short drive.
The layout supports year-round residential use: two en-suite bedrooms on the lower level alongside the main living areas, and a separate en-suite bedroom on the upper floor suitable for guests or independent use. The open-plan living and dining area connects directly to the terraces. Climate control, underfloor heating in bathrooms and a KNX smart home system serve daily comfort throughout the seasons.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1989 and the penthouse was fully renovated in 2025. The condition is reported as excellent following the renovation. Completion is already achieved, meaning the property is available for occupancy subject to the standard purchase process. No construction phase or delivery waiting period applies.
The property is a 1989 building, not a modern new development; communal structures and architecture reflect that period. There is no mention of a private garden or direct beach access. The upper-floor bedroom is reached via internal stairs, which affects accessibility. Parking arrangements and storage are not specified in the available data. The swimming season in local waters is around four months at comfortable temperatures.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. First, a purchaser seeking a move-in-ready home on the Golden Mile without a renovation project: the 2025 refurbishment, Gaggenau kitchen, KNX system and Airzone climate control remove the refurbishment risk that often comes with 1980s stock. Second, a household that wants separation within the home, the upper-floor en-suite bedroom works for guests, older children or staff accommodation without modifying the layout. Third, a buyer prioritising privacy and outlook over beachfront proximity: the highest position in the urbanisation, corner placement and absence of direct neighbours suit those who value quiet and views over immediate sea access. Fourth, an owner planning substantial terrace-based use, the 135 m² of outdoor space, private roof pool and outdoor kitchen support outdoor living for most of the year given the local climate of roughly 3,851 sunshine hours annually. It is less suitable for buyers requiring single-level living due to the internal staircase, or those wanting new-build energy certification and contemporary communal facilities. A car remains practical for beach visits, given the 1.3 km distance and uphill return, although the immediate vicinity offers walkable amenities.
The renovation completed in 2025 is documented as a full refurbishment of the interior. The kitchen is specified with Gaggenau appliances, a German premium brand typically positioned at the top of the residential market, paired with an island layout visible in the property imagery. Climate control is handled by an Airzone zoned system, allowing room-by-room temperature regulation for both heating and cooling, with air conditioning listed for hot and cold operation. All bathrooms include underfloor heating. The property carries a KNX smart home installation, an open-standard building automation protocol controlling lighting, shading and climate, alongside an integrated sound system. The imagery shows a contemporary interior language: clean-lined joinery, minimal palette, integrated coffee station and floor-to-ceiling glazing connecting the living areas to terraces with sea views. As a 1989 structure, the building envelope, insulation values and window performance depend on the scope of the 2025 works; buyers should request the technical file of the renovation to verify what was replaced versus retained. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the available data and should be confirmed during due diligence. The combination of KNX, Airzone and Gaggenau places the technical specification at the level expected in the Marbella upper resale segment.
The asking price is €2,595,000, equivalent to approximately €11,637 per m² of built area, excluding the 135 m² of terraces. This positions the property in the upper segment of the Marbella resale market, consistent with Golden Mile locations and recently completed full renovations. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and renovated. Pricing is fixed at the stated level; no phased release or off-plan payment structure applies. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry and legal fees), which typically add roughly 10–13% to the purchase price for a resale property in Andalusia.
Daily life at this property is organised around its duplex structure and its terraces. The lower level functions as the main living zone: an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area with a designer kitchen fitted with Gaggenau appliances, plus two en-suite bedrooms and a guest toilet. The upper level holds a third en-suite bedroom and opens onto the roof terrace, which carries the private pool, outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, oriented to make use of the multi-directional exposure (east, south, south-west and west aspects are listed). In practical terms, this means morning sun on one side of the property and late-day light on the other, with sea and mountain views from the elevated corner position. The position at the highest point of the urbanisation, without directly adjacent neighbours, reduces direct overlooking. The surrounding Marbella Hill Club area is an established residential enclave of green zones and low-rise development, quieter than the coastal strip below. A supermarket sits roughly 73 metres away, a pharmacy 211 metres and a hospital 642 metres, which places daily errands within walking distance, although the return walk involves the hill. The communal pool and landscaped gardens provide additional outdoor space beyond the private terraces. For residents, the rhythm of the property tends towards terrace-based living: meals outdoors, the private pool on the roof level, and short drives or downhill walks to Marbella's beaches, restaurants and marina.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with urban accessibility. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data records 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 24 cafés, a density characteristic of central Marbella rather than a peripheral urbanisation. A supermarket at 73 metres and a pharmacy at 211 metres make daily provisioning practical without a car. Healthcare access is unusually direct: a hospital lies 642 metres away and five health centres operate within the radius. Education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, with international options such as the British International School (3.0 km) and the English International College (7.7 km). Public transport is available through 11 lines and 50 stops, which is substantial for a hillside enclave and reduces car dependency for Marbella centre trips. The elevated position at 81 metres means the area sits above the coastal traffic; the trade-off is the gradient on foot. Sports facilities within short range include municipal swimming pools (0.9–1.0 km), gymnastics and sports complexes, and a municipal swimming pool under one kilometre away.
The map shows the property's elevated position on the hillside above Marbella's Golden Mile, roughly 1.3 km inland from Playa de la Bajadilla and the marina. Marbella's old town, the coastal strip and the road connections toward Puerto Banús and the A-7/AP-7 motorways are all visible in relation to the site.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The Golden Mile is the established prestige corridor linking Marbella's old town to Puerto Banús, historically the address most associated with the town's hotel and villa heritage from the 1950s onward. The Marbella Hill Club enclave sits on the northern, elevated side of this corridor, above the hotel strip and below the Sierra Blanca foothills. This places the property between two worlds: the beaches, marinas and dining of the coastal strip within two kilometres, and the hiking terrain of La Concha directly behind. Compared with Puerto Banús, the setting is quieter and more residential; compared with Nueva Andalucía, it is closer to Marbella centre.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is 1.3 km away; Playa de Casablanca lies 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles 3.9 km from the property. Marbella's marinas, Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella, are both approximately 1.4 km away, with the fishing port at 1.5 km. Golf access is reasonable rather than immediate: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas sits 8.1 km away, Magna Marbella Golf at 8.9 km, and a driving range at 6.6 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 38 km by straight line, typically a 40–50 minute drive via the A-7/AP-7. Gibraltar Airport is around 59 km straight-line to the south-west. An EV charging point is recorded 434 metres away, with a Tesla supercharger in Marbella at 4.3 km. All distances are indicative straight-line or approximate figures.

The property sits at 81 metres above sea level with a moderate slope of approximately 4.9% toward the coast. Historical climate data for the area records around 3,851 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, figures consistent with the western Costa del Sol's sheltered position behind the Sierra Blanca range, where La Concha shields Marbella from northern weather systems. The sea temperature reaches 20°C or above for roughly four months per year, concentrating the comfortable sea-swimming season from approximately June to October, though pool use on the private roof terrace extends beyond this window. The multi-directional orientation (east through west) provides sun exposure across the day, with morning light on the eastern terraces and evening sun to the south-west and west, a practical consideration for terrace use in both summer and winter months. The hillside setting benefits from airflow compared with the sea-level strip.

Beach access is distributed across several options: Playa de la Bajadilla (1.3 km) is closest, adjoining the working fishing port and marina; Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) sit along the Golden Mile coastal strip. Golfers can reach Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (8.1 km), one of the Costa del Sol's established championship courses, and Magna Marbella Golf (8.9 km), with practice facilities at The Range (6.6 km). For swimming and fitness, municipal pools operate at 0.9 and 1.0 km, alongside the Pabellón de Gimnasia Rítmica (0.6 km) and the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima (0.9 km). Walking and hiking options extend into the hills behind Marbella, with viewpoints at Mirador de los Gitanos (2.5 km) and Mirador de Ojén (4.8 km) indicating accessible hillside routes. Marinas at 1.4 km provide berths and waterfront dining.

At €2,595,000, this penthouse occupies a different market segment from the new-build developments commonly listed along the eastern Costa del Sol. Comparable projects cited, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), represent entry-level new construction, roughly a tenth of this property's price point. The relevant comparison is therefore not with those projects but within Marbella's own resale and new-build market. At approximately €11,600 per built m², the pricing aligns with renovated Golden Mile stock, where location maturity, established planting and plot sizes compensate for the absence of new-build certification. Against Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús to the west, the Golden Mile hillside offers older architecture but closer proximity to Marbella centre and the old town. Against Estepona's newer developments, it offers an established address, mature infrastructure and a documented renovation, but not contemporary energy performance or developer warranties. Buyers weighing this property against off-plan alternatives should weigh immediacy, completed, renovated, occupiable, against the multi-year delivery schedules and price-entry advantages of new-build schemes further along the coast. The immediate neighbourhood data (130 restaurants, 52 hotels, 4,743 recorded property transactions) reflects one of the most liquid micro-markets on the Costa del Sol, which affects both resale prospects and rental demand, subject to licence status.
