This detached villa stands on Marbella's Golden Mile, one of the most established residential addresses on the Costa del Sol, approximately 1.3 km from Playa de la Bajadilla. Built in 1979 and since renovated, the property offers 643 m² of living space across three levels on an 826 m² plot with a private pool and garden. The accommodation comprises five bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a master suite with dressing room. The position combines proximity to Marbella town centre with the quieter character of a mature residential area. The asking price is €1,595,000 and the property is completed and furnished.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in a residential urbanisation on the Golden Mile, between Marbella's historic centre and Puerto Banús. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies 1.3 km away, and the sea is reachable on foot. Marbella's municipal sports facilities, supermarkets and the fishing port are all within a short radius, and public transport runs on eleven lines with around fifty stops in the wider area.
The property functions as a substantial family residence: five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a formal dining room, an office, a basement with garage access and space for a cinema room or gym, private parking and a private garden with pool. Storage is available in a pantry and dedicated storage room. The house is delivered fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen, allowing occupation without further fitting-out.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1979 and has since been renovated and refurbished. Construction and installation standards therefore reflect both the original build and the subsequent works. The property is finished and habitable, with the transaction structured as a resale rather than an off-plan purchase; no phased payments or construction timelines apply.
The property does not form part of a resort development with communal facilities such as a spa, concierge or communal pools; amenity value derives from the villa's own features and the surrounding city. There is no new-build warranty coverage, no on-site developer services and no community leisure programming. The plot of 826 m² is relatively compact relative to the 643 m² built area, limiting large-scale garden use.

This property addresses several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Marbella year-round would find the five-bedroom layout, the proximity of 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools within two kilometres, and a hospital under 650 metres away aligned with daily household logistics. A buyer seeking a second residence with rental or family-holiday use would value the walkable distance to the beach and the fully furnished, turnkey condition, no renovation works are required before occupation. Purchasers prioritising space for work-from-home arrangements have a dedicated office on the main floor plus a second upper-level living area. Buyers intending to add leisure infrastructure, a home cinema, gym or entertainment room, can use the basement, which already connects to the garage. The property also suits those who want villa privacy without resort dependence: a private pool and garden without communal fees for shared amenities. Conversely, buyers seeking a new-build warranty, a gated community with 24-hour security, or a hillside plot with substantial land would need to look elsewhere, as this is a 1979 building on a compact urban plot. The address works best for households that place daily convenience and proximity to Marbella's centre above seclusion and panoramic elevation.
The villa's internal specification, as documented, includes marble flooring throughout, air conditioning and a fireplace for climate control, a fully fitted kitchen, a pantry and a separate storage room, and full furnishing. The property's condition is listed as recently renovated and recently refurbished, indicating that major cosmetic and potentially system-level works have been carried out; the exact scope, dates and contractors of these works should be verified during due diligence, as a 1979 building will have original structural elements alongside renewed finishes. The layout follows a traditional Andalusian villa arrangement: formal entrance hall, separated living and dining rooms, kitchen accessible from the patio, and bedroom clusters distributed across two floors. The upper floor's sea views and the west-facing master suite orientation indicate afternoon and evening sun exposure on that wing. The basement with direct garage access is unfinished volume, which allows bespoke fitting-out but also means that any cinema, gym or entertainment use requires further investment in flooring, insulation and ventilation. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the available data; given the building's age and the presence of air conditioning as the primary cooling system, prospective buyers may wish to request the certificate and review the condition of insulation, glazing and electrical installations. Documentation of the private pool's filtration system and the property's water and drainage connections should also form part of the technical survey.
The property is offered at €1,595,000 as a completed, fully furnished resale villa. The price reflects the built area of 643 m², the 826 m² plot, five bedrooms and five bathrooms, private pool, garden and parking, and the Golden Mile location. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), operate in a different segment of the market in terms of location, size and tenure. Transaction volume in the surrounding area, recorded at 4,743 in the dataset, indicates an active local market. Additional purchase costs including transfer tax and notary fees apply.
Daily life at this address is shaped by the Golden Mile's position between Marbella centre and the coastal hotels. The villa is arranged over three levels: the main floor holds the entrance hall, office, living room, formal dining room, kitchen with pantry, and three bedrooms sharing a bathroom, opening onto a terrace and the garden with private pool. The upper level contains a second living space with sea views, two further bedrooms sharing an ensuite bathroom, and a west-facing master suite with dressing room and ensuite. The basement connects directly to the garage and offers undeveloped volume for a cinema, gym or entertainment room. The surrounding neighbourhood supports walking as a primary mode of transport: a supermarket sits within roughly a hundred metres, a pharmacy about two hundred, and a hospital under one kilometre. Within a two-kilometre radius the dataset counts 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 24 cafés, alongside 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, an urban density unusual for villa locations on this coast. With eleven public transport lines and fifty stops in the area, a car is convenient for regional trips but not strictly necessary for daily errands. The neighbourhood's character shifts seasonally: the presence of 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds within the radius means summer months bring noticeably more traffic and footfall, while the residential core remains occupied year-round. The 4.9 per cent average gradient towards the beach is moderate and manageable on foot or by bicycle.
The immediate surroundings function as an established residential neighbourhood with urban-scale amenity density. A supermarket 73 metres away and a pharmacy 211 metres away place daily shopping within a two-minute walk; a hospital lies 642 metres from the property. Recreational infrastructure within one kilometre includes a municipal swimming pool (0.9 km), the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima (0.9 km) and a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion (0.6 km). The beaches of Playa de la Bajadilla (1.3 km), Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) cover the coastal strip westwards. Marinas at La Bajadilla and Marbella (both 1.4 km) host the fishing fleet and pleasure craft, with the Puerto Pesquero at 1.5 km. The neighbourhood is well served by public transport, eleven lines and fifty stops, making central Marbella reachable without a car. The dense hotel presence (52 hotels, 12,781 beds within two kilometres) raises summer activity levels considerably; outside the July, August peak, the area reverts to its residential rhythm. An electric vehicle charging point is 434 metres away.
The map shows the villa's position on the Golden Mile corridor between Marbella centre and the hotel zone, with Playa de la Bajadilla and the marinas within walking and short-drive distance. Supermarket, pharmacy, hospital and sports facilities cluster within one kilometre, and eleven bus lines serve the surrounding streets, illustrating how daily life at this address can function largely on foot.

Within Marbella's residential hierarchy, the Golden Mile occupies the corridor between the town centre and Puerto Banús, historically the town's most recognised villa address. The property's position close to the eastern, town-side end of this corridor places the old quarter, the marina and municipal services within a compact radius, distinguishing it from hillside urbanisations such as those above Nagüeles or Sierra Blanca, which trade proximity for elevation and views. Regionally, it sits roughly 38 km from Málaga airport, 59 km from Gibraltar and equidistant from Estepona to the west, a central Costa del Sol position relative to comparable villa markets in Benahavís or Estepona.
Straight-line distances position the property 38 km from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) and approximately 59 km from Gibraltar (GIB), giving a choice of two international airports, with AGP typically a 40, 50 minute drive along the A-7 or AP-7. Marbella town centre and its historic old quarter are minutes away by car or a moderate walk. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is 1.3 km from the property on a gradient of roughly 4.9 per cent. Golf options cluster at varying distances: The Range golf lessons at 6.6 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.9 km, with Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 8.2 km along the same corridor. International schooling is available at the British International School (3.0 km) and the English International College (7.7 km). Marina facilities at La Bajadilla and Marbella (1.4 km) serve boating needs, and a Tesla supercharger station operates 4.3 km away.

Marbella's climate data underpin much of the area's residential appeal. Historical records indicate approximately 3,851 sunshine hours per year, with a mean annual temperature of 18.3°C, figures consistent with the sheltered coastal position between the Sierra Blanca foothills and the sea. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, extends to roughly four months, although pool use at the property is extended by the private pool's independent heating options, subject to installation. The property sits at approximately 81 metres above sea level, low enough to keep the 1.3 km walk to the beach manageable on a moderate 4.9 per cent gradient, while the elevation contributes to the sea views recorded from the upper floor. The region experiences 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal festival calendar. The Mediterranean lifestyle this climate supports, outdoor dining, terrace use in most months, and winter occupation without heating extremes, is a practical feature of year-round residency rather than a seasonal amenity.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol villa market, this property's defining feature is location rather than land. Most villa stock in the €1.5, 2 million bracket on this coast trades either plot size or views against accessibility: hillside urbanisations in Benahavís, La Zagaleta or the Marbella Sierra Blanca offer larger grounds, gated security and elevated panoramas, but place daily errands a drive away. This Golden Mile villa takes the opposite position, 643 m² of built space on a comparatively compact 826 m² plot, with a supermarket 73 metres away, a hospital under 650 metres and the beach at 1.3 km. Against new-build alternatives, the comparable projects in the dataset (Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000) operate in a different price and product segment: apartment-based, east or west of the central Marbella corridor, and targeted at a different buyer profile. The relevant competition for this villa is the resale villa stock of the Golden Mile itself, where original 1970s constructions in various states of renovation set the benchmark, and where renovation quality, marble flooring, updated systems, the documented refurbishment here, determines relative positioning. The area recorded 4,743 property transactions in the dataset, indicating liquid market conditions. For buyers weighing this property against Puerto Banús-side alternatives, the eastern Golden Mile offers shorter access to Marbella's old town and municipal infrastructure, while accepting the seasonal activity generated by 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 tourist beds within two kilometres. Median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the wider region but bears little relation to this micro-market, where international demand dominates the buyer pool.
