A key-ready two-bedroom apartment of 82 m² on the third floor of a gated urbanisation on Marbella's Golden Mile, offered at a fixed asking price of €425,000. The home faces west, offering afternoon sun and views over the communal gardens towards the sea. Built in 1982 and since updated, it is sold fully furnished with a kitchen-lounge, one bathroom and a covered terrace. The complex includes two swimming pools, a tennis court and extensive communal gardens, with the beach about 1.3 km away as the crow flies. Marbella centre lies roughly 7 km from the property.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Golden Mile district between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús, about 7 km from Marbella and 54 km from Málaga as the crow flies. Playa de la Bajadilla is 1.3 km away in a straight line. Within 2 km there are around 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks, with 50 public transport stops served by 11 lines.
The layout comprises an entrance hall, living/dining room with covered terrace, two bedrooms and one bathroom across 82 m². West-facing orientation provides afternoon and evening sun on the terrace, with sea, garden and pool views. Air conditioning, marble flooring, fitted wardrobes and a lift are present. The property is delivered fully furnished, including a fitted open-plan kitchen with breakfast bar.
This is an existing home, completed in 1982, not a new-build development. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated, and the overall condition is described as excellent. As a key-ready resale property, the transfer can proceed without a construction phase; completion dates mentioned in any transaction remain indicative and depend on the purchase process.
The property offers two bedrooms and a single bathroom, which may not suit households needing more than one bathroom. It is a 1982 construction, so buyers should factor the age of the building into their assessment. No private pool, private garden or private parking space is listed; the pool, gardens and tennis court are communal facilities shared within the gated complex.

This property fits a buyer seeking a move-in-ready home or second residence on the Golden Mile without undertaking renovation work. The combination of a furnished, key-ready interior and an established gated complex reduces the practical burden of settling in, which particularly suits overseas buyers who visit periodically and want a home that functions from day one. A couple using the apartment as a coastal base will find the two-bedroom, one-bathroom layout adequate, with the communal pools and tennis court covering leisure needs that a private garden otherwise would. Buyers who work remotely part of the year can rely on the surrounding infrastructure, 50 public transport stops, 11 lines, and dense amenities within 2 km, to live without full dependence on a car. The west-facing aspect and evening sun on the terrace appeal to those who value late-afternoon outdoor living and sunset views over the sea. The property is less suitable for buyers who require multiple bathrooms, a private pool or a private plot, since none of these form part of the offering. Households planning to grow beyond two permanent occupants may also find the single bathroom and 82 m² footprint a constraint. For investors, the Golden Mile address and proximity to Marbella's hotel and dining economy provide a rental context worth investigating, though returns depend on management arrangements and seasonal demand.
The building dates from 1982, and the interior has been partially modernised since. The kitchen and bathroom are described as updated to a high standard: the kitchen is fully fitted in an open-plan arrangement with a breakfast bar integrated into the living space, and the bathroom includes a shower and space for a washing machine, as visible in the interior photography. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of the period but also durable and cool underfoot in the Andalusian climate. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, which adds usable storage within a compact floor plan. Climate control consists of air conditioning, supplemented by the covered terrace, which allows windows to stay open for ventilation while shading the interior from direct western sun in the late afternoon. The property is sold fully furnished, including the twin bedrooms as photographed, which transfers both convenience and responsibility: buyers should assess the age and condition of each item during viewings. As with any 1980s construction, the building's shared infrastructure, roof, facades, lifts and pool installations, is managed by the community, and its maintenance history is worth reviewing through the community minutes and fees. The overall condition is listed as excellent, but this reflects the current presentation rather than a structural guarantee; a technical survey remains standard practice before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €425,000 for the complete property, including furniture, and is not a 'from' price for a range of units. At 82 m² of living space, this equates to roughly €5,180 per square metre, a level consistent with the Golden Mile's position as one of Marbella's established residential addresses. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start lower, from about €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, but those are different locations, typologies and delivery conditions. As a completed resale home, the purchase involves no staged payments or construction risk; the transaction follows the standard Spanish resale process. Availability depends on the seller's position at the time of enquiry.
Daily life here is organised around a gated residential complex set in mature communal gardens, a short distance from the coastal road and the beaches east of Marbella. The third-floor position and west-facing orientation mean the terrace catches the sun from early afternoon onwards, making it a natural spot for the end of the day while the sea remains in view. The living/dining room opens onto this covered terrace through the main reception space, and the open-plan kitchen with breakfast bar sits within the same zone, keeping the 82 m² layout compact and practical. The surrounding neighbourhood is dense with amenities: within 2 km there are roughly 130 restaurants, 24 cafés, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks, so grocery runs, pharmacy visits and eating out rarely require a long journey. The urbanisation itself offers two communal swimming pools and a tennis court, which broadens the day-to-day options beyond the apartment. Marbella centre is about 7 km away in a straight line, close enough for regular trips into town while keeping the immediate setting residential. The area also carries a strong seasonal rhythm: 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds are registered nearby, so summer months bring noticeably more activity to the streets and beaches than the winter period, when the district returns to a quieter pace. For a household of two, or a family using the second bedroom for guests, the layout works as a lock-up-and-leave base or as a year-round home with services within easy reach.
The Golden Mile corridor connects Marbella's old town with Puerto Banús and functions as one of the coast's most service-dense residential strips. Within 2 km of the apartment, the counts are substantial: about 130 restaurants, 24 cafés, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 2 dentists, alongside 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the broader area, including the British International School 3 km away and the English International College 7.7 km away. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the vicinity. Daily errands can therefore be run on foot or by a short drive, and the 50 public transport stops across 11 lines provide an alternative to the car for trips into Marbella. Sports facilities sit unusually close: a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion at 0.6 km, the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 0.9 km and the Supera Miraflores sports centre with municipal pool at 1 km. Two marinas, Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella, lie about 1.4 km away, offering the practical side of coastal life beyond the beaches. The district's tourism profile, with 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 registered beds, means the area is busy in high season and considerably calmer from November to March, a rhythm residents learn to plan around.
The map shows the apartment's position on the Golden Mile, with the coastline and Playa de la Bajadilla 1.3 km to the south-east as the crow flies, the marinas at 1.4 km and Marbella's centre 7 km along the coast. The markers give a straight-line indication of distances to beaches, golf courses, schools and viewpoints.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The Golden Mile occupies the stretch of coast immediately west of Marbella's historic centre, historically the address of the city's first luxury hotels and large villa estates. Within the region, this positions the apartment between the urban services of Marbella (about 148,000 inhabitants, 7 km away) and the wider Costa del Sol corridor running to Málaga city 54 km to the east and Algeciras 59 km to the west. Compared with newer developments in Estepona, Torre del Mar or Mijas, the location trades modern construction for immediate access to established infrastructure, mature gardens and Marbella's hotel-and-dining economy. The area records roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year, indicating a liquid market with steady turnover on this part of the coast.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. Playa de la Bajadilla, the nearest beach, is 1.3 km away, with Playa de Casablanca at 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.9 km. The gradient from the apartment down to the coast is about 4.9%, a moderate slope that most residents can walk, though the return uphill is noticeable in summer heat. Marbella centre lies 7 km away, Málaga city 54 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 38 km in a straight line, in practice a drive of well under an hour by car, consistent with the area's commuting patterns. Gibraltar Airport is 59 km away as the crow flies. Golf is within easy reach: 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. Public transport covers the district with 11 lines and 50 stops, and an EV Supercharger is available 4.3 km away. A car remains useful for golf, airport runs and exploring inland, but is not strictly necessary for daily life.

The apartment stands about 81 m above sea level, giving it enough elevation for the sea views mentioned in the listing while keeping the walk to the beach manageable at a 4.9% gradient. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, meaning mild winters and warm summers typical of the Costa del Sol. The swimming season, when sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above, lasts about four months, concentrated in the summer half of the year; outside that window, sea swimming is possible for the hardy but the communal pools and indoor sports facilities carry more of the exercise load. The west-facing orientation shapes the daily experience: mornings start shaded and cool inside, while afternoons and evenings bring direct sun to the terrace, favouring late-day outdoor use. The nearby viewpoints at Mirador de los Gitanos (2.5 km) and Mirador de Ojén (4.8 km) indicate the mountain backdrop within short reach, giving residents access to hiking and inland scenery beyond the coastal strip.

The nearest stretch of sand, Playa de la Bajadilla, sits 1.3 km away in a straight line and adjoins the fishing port and marina of the same name, where the Puerto Pesquero lies at 1.5 km. Further along the coast, Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) extend the range of beach options, each with its own chiringuitos and character. Within the urbanisation, two communal swimming pools and a tennis court provide recreation without leaving the complex, and paddle tennis is listed among the facilities. Beyond the gates, the Supera Miraflores centre and municipal pool are within 1 km. Golfers have three options within 9 km, from the practice-focused Range to the established Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella. The marinas at 1.4 km open the way to boat trips, water sports and the fishing fleet's daily routine. In short, the recreation mix here is coastal and club-based rather than rural, with mountain viewpoints available for occasional variety.

Set against current new-build offerings on the Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies a different segment of the market. 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 below this property's fixed €425,000 asking price. The comparison, however, is not straightforward. Those projects are new constructions in secondary coastal towns, sold from price lists with staged payments and delivery dates that remain indicative. This property is a completed resale on the Golden Mile, one of Marbella's most established addresses, where roughly €5,180 per square metre reflects both location and the mature urban fabric around it. The trade-off is structural: buyers of the new-build options receive modern construction standards and community infrastructure from day one, whereas this 1982 building carries the maintenance profile of its age, offset by an already updated kitchen and bathroom and a fully furnished, immediately usable interior. Locationally, the Golden Mile offers what the alternatives cannot: walking-distance access to Marbella's hotel, dining and marina economy, three golf courses within 9 km, two international schools within 8 km and a year-round resident population. Torre del Mar and Estepona are quieter and cheaper per square metre but further from Marbella and Málaga airport, which lies about 38 km straight-line from this apartment. Mijas sits between the two poles, closer to Málaga and Fuengirola than to Marbella. For a buyer whose priority is the Marbella setting and immediate usability rather than new-build specifications, the premium over the comparable projects is essentially the price of the address. For a buyer prioritising modern construction, the newer projects merit equal consideration.
