A first-floor, southwest-facing apartment of 247 m² in the Monte Paraíso Country Club gated community on the Golden Mile in Marbella. The property has two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, plus a guest toilet, a private terrace with sea views, underfloor heating, air conditioning, marble floors, a storage room and two parking spaces. Completed in 2001, the residence offers 24-hour security, tropical gardens and three communal outdoor pools. The asking price is fixed at €1,850,000. Playa de la Bajadilla lies approximately 1.3 km away as the crow flies.
Within Marbella, the Golden Mile occupies a distinct position between the historic centre and Puerto Banús. Compared with apartments in Marbella's old town, roughly 7 km away, the setting is more residential and quieter, with gated-community services rather than street-level urban life; the trade-off is dependence on a car for the centre's markets and cultural calendar. Compared with Nueva Andalucía and the golf valley to the west, this location is closer to the beach, 1.3 km to Bajadilla against considerably longer distances for most golf-valley properties, but further from the courses themselves; Real Club de Golf Las Brisas lies 8.1 km away as the crow flies. Along the wider Costa del Sol, the price and format of this apartment place it in a different segment from the new-build projects currently marketed further east and west. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all from-prices for new construction in less established locations. Those projects offer new build quality and warranties in exchange for distance from Marbella's core amenities; this resale apartment offers an established 2001 construction, 247 m² of space, a mature gated community and a Golden Mile address. Transaction volume in the area, at roughly 4,743 housing sales per year, indicates an active market with regular resale opportunities, while the median provincial income of €16,450 underlines how far this price point sits above the local mainstream, relevant context for long-term value stability, which on the Golden Mile is supported by the concentration of hotels, international schools and year-round tourism infrastructure rather than by seasonal demand alone.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is situated in the Monte Paraíso Country Club urbanisation on Marbella's Golden Mile, roughly 7 km from Marbella city centre as the crow flies. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is 1.3 km away in a straight line, with a moderate gradient of 4.9% between the community and the coast. Marbella's two marinas lie within about 1.5 km.
The layout suits a household seeking two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms within 247 m² of living space. Daily living is organised around the southwest-facing terrace, the communal pools and the gardens. Practical features include a separate laundry room, fitted wardrobes, a lift, private parking for two cars and a storage room.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2001 and is key-ready, described as being in good condition. As an existing home, it can be viewed and transferred directly; there is no construction phase or delivery schedule to take into account. Any renovation or updating would be at the buyer's initiative.
The property offers two bedrooms rather than three or more, which limits its suitability for larger households. Parking is limited to the two private spaces included. The pool is communal, not private. The building dates from 2001, so fixtures and installations are over two decades old. The coastal route to the beach involves a moderate slope.
The apartment fits a buyer who wants a maintained, turnkey residence on the Golden Mile without managing a build. Recognisable situations include: a couple downsizing from a villa who still want two suites, security and communal facilities; an international household seeking a second home with direct flights into Málaga, about 38 km away as the crow flies; and buyers prioritising views and evening sun over bedroom count. The two en-suite bedrooms suit households that regularly host guests, while the guest toilet serves daytime visitors. The community's 24-hour security and lift access are relevant for owners planning long stays later in life, though the moderate slope towards the beach should be factored in for those with limited mobility. Less suitable situations are equally clear: families needing three or more bedrooms will find the layout restrictive, and buyers seeking a private pool or an individual plot will need to look at villas instead. Buyers focused primarily on rental yield may note that location and condition support letting, but community rules and the price point position this as a residence first. For owners who spend part of the year elsewhere, the gated setting, on-site management structure and storage simplify periods of absence.
The apartment was completed in 2001 and is presented in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. Climate control is layered: air conditioning for summer, underfloor heating for winter, and a fireplace as an additional heat source in the living area. This combination is significant on the Costa del Sol, where winter nights can be cool despite mild daytime temperatures. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a separate laundry room as a practical division of household work. The two bathrooms are en-suite, one per bedroom, with a separate guest toilet for visitors. The private terrace extends the living space outdoors and is oriented to the southwest for afternoon and evening sun. Two private parking spaces and a storage room are included, parking for two cars is not standard at this price point everywhere in Marbella. The building has a lift, which matters for a first-floor unit with groceries, luggage and guests. Within the community, the shared elements consist of tropical gardens, three outdoor swimming pools and around-the-clock security staffing. As with any home over twenty years old, the technical installations, boiler, air conditioning units, underfloor heating circuits, have a service history; an independent technical survey is the standard way to establish their current state before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €1,850,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new development, so there is no price list, no unit selection and no staged payment plan. The price reflects a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 247 m² with sea views within a secured gated community on the Golden Mile. Two private parking spaces and a storage room are included in the purchase. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the Costa del Sol start from considerably lower figures, but those are in different locations with different characteristics. Availability is immediate in principle; the transaction follows the standard Spanish resale process.
Monte Paraíso Country Club sits between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús, in the stretch known as the Golden Mile. The community is gated, with 24-hour security at the entrance, which shapes the daily rhythm: residents come and go past a staffed gate, gardens and pools are maintained by the community, and the streets inside the urbanisation carry little through traffic. The apartment itself is on the first floor, oriented to the southwest, so the private terrace receives sun from midday into the evening, the hours most often spent outdoors in southern Spain. The sea view is combined with views over the pools and the coastal mountain range behind Marbella. Inside, the 247 m² is distributed across a living and dining area opening onto the terrace, two en-suite bedrooms, a guest toilet, a fitted kitchen and a separate laundry room. The spacing between rooms is generous for a two-bedroom layout; each bedroom functions as a self-contained suite. For daily errands, the immediate area is well served: within two kilometres there are roughly 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 24 cafés, which means shopping and dining out rarely require a long trip. Marbella's old town, about 7 km away as the crow flies, is a short drive for markets, municipal services and cultural events. The swimming season in this part of the coast runs to about four months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, typically June to September, while the average annual temperature of 18.3°C keeps the terrace usable for most of the year.
Daily life around Monte Paraíso is defined by density of services within a short radius. Within two kilometres there are approximately 130 restaurants, 24 cafés, 28 pharmacies and 20 bank branches, so most errands are a walk or a few minutes' drive. Two sports centres, Pabellón de Gimnasia Rítmica at 0.6 km and Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 0.9 km, both straight-line distances, and a municipal swimming pool at 0.9 km provide public exercise options beyond the community's own pools. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area. Education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with the British International School at 3.0 km and the English International College at 7.7 km as the nearest international schools. The area's tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds, means restaurants and facilities stay open year-round rather than closing after summer. Public transport consists of 11 lines with 50 stops in the area, which allows basic mobility without a car, though most residents in this segment use a vehicle. The N-340 and AP-7 connect the Golden Mile to Marbella centre and Puerto Banús in either direction.
The map shows the Golden Mile corridor between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús. The apartment's gated community sits inland of the coastal road at 81 metres elevation, with Bajadilla beach 1.3 km away as the crow flies and the marinas just beyond it. All distances shown are straight-line; road routes are longer.

The Golden Mile is the stretch of coast between Marbella's historic centre and Puerto Banús, historically the address that established Marbella's international profile in the 1950s. At 7 km from the centre and about 1.3 km from the sea, the apartment occupies the residential, elevated side of this corridor: close to the hotels and beach clubs that define the area, but set back within a gated community. Along the Costa del Sol as a whole, this positions it between the urban density of Málaga (54 km) and the more recent developments spreading towards Estepona. Algeciras and the Atlantic side of the coast begin at 59 km.
Playa de la Bajadilla, the nearest beach, is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate gradient of 4.9% on the route; Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) are alternatives. Marbella's marinas, Marina la Bajadilla, Marina Marbella and Puerto Pesquero, all lie between 1.4 and 1.5 km away. The nearest golf facilities are further out: The Range at 6.6 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.9 km, all straight-line distances. Marbella city is 7 km away, with Málaga and its metropolitan population of about 579,000 at 54 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 38 km away as the crow flies, and Gibraltar Airport about 59 km. A Tesla Supercharger station is 4.3 km away for electric vehicles. Actual road distances are longer than these straight-line figures.

The community sits at 81 metres above sea level, high enough to look over the coastline towards the sea while remaining within walking distance of it in practical terms. The gradient towards the beach is moderate at 4.9%, which explains the view corridor: elevation plus a southwest orientation. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, typical of Marbella's position on the sheltered southern coast. Sea temperatures reach 20°C or warmer for about four months, setting the swimming season roughly from June to September. Beyond those months, the three communal pools and the nearby municipal pool extend the water season. Behind the urbanisation rises the Sierra Blanca range; the Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint at 2.5 km and the Mirador de Ojén at 4.8 km mark the transition from the built-up coastal strip into mountain terrain, giving the apartment's mountain views a concrete anchor. Winters are mild enough for year-round terrace use, though underfloor heating and the fireplace are there for cooler evenings.

Three beaches lie within four kilometres: Playa de la Bajadilla (1.3 km), Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km), all measured in a straight line. Bajadilla sits next to the fishing port and marina, which keeps the surrounding chiringuitos and restaurants active. For golfers, three courses lie between 6.6 and 8.9 km: The Range for practice, plus the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf. Sports facilities close to home include the rhythmic gymnastics pavilion at 0.6 km, the Antonio Serrano Lima sports complex at 0.9 km and the Supera Miraflores centre with its pool at 1.0 km. The two marinas at 1.4 km add options for boat owners and waterfront dining. In the evening, the southwest terrace orientation aligns with sunset over the Strait towards Gibraltar, which is part of the daily rhythm the layout was designed around.
