A three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment of 204 m² situated at the highest point of the Golden Mile in Marbella, within Las Terrazas de las Lomas Club, a landmark building designed by architect Fernando Higueras and protected as part of Marbella's architectural heritage. The property has been recently refurbished in a minimalist style with oak panelling, a built-in gym area, an office and a laundry area. The asking price is fixed at €2,850,000. The west-facing terrace offers views over the sea, Puerto Banús and the Nueva Andalucía golf courses. The complex is gated, with guarded entrance and 24-hour concierge, and includes two parking spaces and a storage room.
Within the Costa del Sol market, the Golden Mile occupies a specific position: it is an established, low-density prestige corridor rather than a growth area of new construction. This apartment, at a fixed asking price of €2,850,000 for 204 m², sits in a fundamentally different segment from the new-build developments that dominate marketing elsewhere on the coast. Comparable projects listed regionally, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, represent entry-level new construction in eastern and western coastal towns, with prices per square metre several times lower. A buyer comparing this property with those projects is effectively comparing two different products: a refurbished residence in a protected 1989 heritage building on Marbella's most established address, versus new-build apartments in emerging residential zones. The Golden Mile's fundamentals differ as well. Marbella records around 4,743 housing transactions per year, and the area's service infrastructure, 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 5 health centres within 2 km, reflects a mature, year-round residential environment rather than a seasonal one. Tourism pressure exists, with 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the area, but the gated complex with concierge buffers this at the property level. Against Marbella's broader stock, the distinguishing features here are architectural: the Higueras design, the stepped terraces and the protected status limit what can be altered but also what can be replicated. Buyers weighing this property against newer towers in Nueva Andalucía or Estepona should weigh the trade-off between modern building standards and the character, location and scarcity value of a heritage-listed address on the Golden Mile. Distances to key destinations, 1.3 km to the beach, 7 km to Marbella centre and roughly 38 km to Málaga airport, all as the crow flies, are competitive within the region, with the hillside elevation providing panoramic views in exchange for a moderate gradient on foot.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands on the Golden Mile, one of Marbella's established residential corridors, roughly 7 km from the town centre and about 1.3 km from Playa de la Bajadilla as the crow flies. Marbella centre, with its old town and full urban services, lies within short driving distance, while Málaga and its airport are approximately 54 km and 38 km away in a straight line respectively.
The property offers 204 m² of living space with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a west-facing terrace, a built-in gym area, an office and a laundry room. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control. Two large parking spaces and a storage room are included in the building. Fitted wardrobes and concealed storage in the oak panelling support practical year-round living.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The building was completed in 1989 to a design by architect Fernando Higueras and holds protected heritage status in Marbella. The apartment itself has been recently refurbished and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Any dates relating to completion are historical and already fixed.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the complex. There is no private garden. The pool listed in the specification is shared with other residents. The building dates from 1989, so structural and technical systems reflect that period, although the interior has been refurbished. A moderate gradient of roughly 4.9% descends towards the nearest beach, which involves some inclination on foot.
This property fits a buyer seeking an established address on the Golden Mile rather than a new construction project. It is relevant for those who value architectural character: the building's stepped white terraces and cylindrical towers, designed by Fernando Higueras, are protected as heritage, which distinguishes it from contemporary tower developments along the coast. It suits owners who want to move in without renovation work, since the interior has been recently refurbished and is key-ready. The presence of an integrated office and gym area makes it practical for buyers who work remotely or spend long periods in Spain. Families may find the setting workable, given the proximity of schools, including international options such as the British International School at roughly 3 km straight-line distance and the English International College at 7.7 km. Buyers requiring a private pool or garden should note that only communal swimming facilities exist here. The property also fits those who travel frequently: Málaga airport is approximately 38 km away in a straight line, and the concierge and gated complex provide security during absences. It is less suited to buyers seeking a low-budget entry into the Costa del Sol market or a detached villa with private grounds, as the price point and apartment format place it in the upper segment of the regional market.
The interior finish follows a minimalist scheme in which oak panelling covers most walls and doubles as concealed storage. Fitted wardrobes are described as generous, and the photographs confirm a consistent material palette of wood, marble flooring in circulation areas and track lighting in the master bedroom. The kitchen is fitted with modern cabinetry, and the dining area opens towards the terrace. The apartment includes hot and cold air conditioning, providing year-round climate control, and benefits from a lift within the building. The refurbishment is recent and the condition is described as excellent. Beyond the apartment, the building itself was completed in 1989 to a design by Fernando Higueras and is protected as part of Marbella's architectural heritage; this status has practical consequences, as alterations to the exterior or structural elements are subject to restrictions that do not apply to ordinary buildings. The communal areas include a swimming pool, and the complex provides a guarded entrance and 24-hour concierge. Two large parking spaces and a large storage room are included. As with any property of this age, buyers are advised to verify the technical state of building systems, plumbing, electrics and communal infrastructure, through an independent survey before purchase, since the original construction predates current building regulations even though the interior has been modernised.
The asking price is fixed at €2,850,000. This is an existing, key-ready apartment rather than a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit prices; the price applies to this specific property with its 204 m² of living space, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two parking spaces and storage room. The price reflects the Golden Mile location, the protected status of the building and the recent refurbishment. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), operate in an entirely different price segment, which illustrates the positioning of this property within the regional market. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's confirmation.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a west-facing orientation and a hilltop position above the Golden Mile. The terrace catches afternoon and evening sun, with views extending over the sea, Puerto Banús and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía, which makes the late part of the day the natural moment to use the outdoor space. Inside, the layout follows the logic of a boutique hotel: oak panels line most walls and conceal storage, so the living areas remain uncluttered, while a gym area, an office and a laundry area are integrated alongside the bedrooms and bathrooms. This combination suits both permanent residence and extended stays, since working, exercising and household tasks can all be handled within the apartment itself. The complex is gated with a guarded entrance and a 24-hour concierge, which reduces day-to-day practical concerns such as deliveries and absences. Two large parking spaces and a storage room in the building cover vehicle and seasonal storage needs. The immediate setting is a residential urbanisation close to schools, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider area, along with 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks within a 2 km radius. Marbella's old town and its amenities are roughly 7 km away by straight-line distance, so a car remains the most practical means of transport, although 11 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the broader area. The rhythm here is quiet and residential rather than touristic, despite the proximity of hotels and beaches.
The Golden Mile corridor connects Marbella centre with Puerto Banús, and the apartment sits at its highest point, roughly 81 m above sea level. This elevation produces the panoramic views over the sea, the coastline and the mountains, but also means the walk to the beach involves a moderate gradient of about 4.9% over roughly 1.3 km as the crow flies to Playa de la Bajadilla; in practice, most residents drive. The density of amenities is high: within 2 km there are 130 restaurants, 24 cafés, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks, which makes daily errands short and simple. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with international schools at 3.0 and 7.7 km straight-line distance. Public transport is available through 11 lines and 50 stops, although a car remains the more flexible option for this hillside position. The area has a substantial tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels with 12,781 beds, which means the surroundings are busier in summer and quieter in the off-season. Two marinas, Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella, both lie about 1.4 km away in a straight line.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The Golden Mile occupies the coastal strip between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús and is one of the most established prestige addresses on the Costa del Sol. Within this corridor, the apartment's position at the highest point of its enclave distinguishes it from properties directly on the beachfront. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, functions as the immediate urban anchor, while Málaga, the regional capital with around 579,000 inhabitants and the main international airport, lies about 54 km to the east in a straight line. To the west, Algeciras and Gibraltar mark the far end of the region at 59 km. The local housing market records around 4,743 transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies approximately 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Casablanca at 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.9 km. Golf is within easy reach: The Range golf lessons are 6.6 km away in a straight line, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf 8.9 km. Marbella centre is roughly 7 km distant, Málaga city about 54 km, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport approximately 38 km, all measured in a straight line; actual road distances are longer. Gibraltar airport lies around 59 km away. For everyday facilities, a municipal swimming pool is 0.9 km away and the Supera Miraflores sports centre 1.0 km, while the Pabellón de Gimnasia Rítmica is only 0.6 km from the complex. An electric vehicle charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, is located 4.3 km away. Public transport options include 11 lines with 50 stops in the area.

The climate at this location is Mediterranean, with an average annual temperature of 18.3°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, concentrated in summer; outside that window the sea is cooler, though the climate itself remains mild relative to northern Europe. The apartment stands at an elevation of 81 m above sea level on a hillside, which produces a moderate gradient of about 4.9% towards the coast. The west-facing orientation means the terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, with sunsets over the sea and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía as a recurring feature of the day. Viewpoints in the surroundings, such as the Mirador de los Gitanos at 2.5 km and the Mirador de Ojén at 4.8 km, indicate the mountainous backdrop inland from the coastal strip. The combination of altitude and proximity to the sea supports views in two directions, towards the Mediterranean and towards the Sierra.
