A key-ready duplex apartment of 303 m² with four en-suite bedrooms, located in the gated community of Urb. Benalus Fase 2 on Marbella's Golden Mile. Completed in 2023, the residence offers a private unheated pool with sea views, underfloor heating, air conditioning and a private basement. The asking price is fixed at €3,795,000. Marbella centre lies 7 km away (as the crow flies), the beach at Playa de la Bajadilla 1.3 km, and Málaga Airport approximately 38 km. The community provides 24/7 security, a gym, spa, sauna and communal pool.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a different segment from the region's new-build price-list projects. Comparable developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) sit at the entry and mid-market level, mostly further from Marbella's core. The duplex's fixed price of €3,795,000, around €12,500 per m², buys position rather than volume: the Golden Mile between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús remains one of the coast's most established premium addresses, with 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds in the surrounding area confirming its year-round profile. What distinguishes this home from off-plan alternatives is certainty: construction finished in 2023, the property is key-ready, and the specification, underfloor heating, air conditioning, Schüco glazing, premium appliances, private pool, is installed and inspectable rather than promised. The trade-offs are equally concrete. New-build projects in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona offer modern layouts at a fraction of the price, often with larger communal grounds; here, the 50 m² plot limits private outdoor space to terrace and pool. Public transport is stronger than in those more peripheral locations, 11 lines and 50 stops locally, and daily amenities are denser. For buyers comparing across the region, the realistic question is whether the Golden Mile address, the sea views and the completed condition justify the premium over newer construction 30–60 km east or west, where the same budget would buy substantially more square metres with a longer commute to Marbella and Puerto Banús.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands on the Golden Mile between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús, at an elevation of 81 metres. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies 1.3 km in a straight line, with a moderate gradient of 4.9% on the route down. Two marinas sit within 1.5 km, and Marbella's old town is roughly 7 km away.
With 303 m² of living space, four en-suite bedrooms, a private terrace and a private pool, the duplex suits households that want space and privacy in a managed setting. Shared facilities include a gym, spa and sauna. Daily amenities are dense: within 2 km there are around 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks.
Construction was completed in 2023 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The finishing includes Miele, Siemens and Smeg appliances, Schüco sliding windows, underfloor heating and air conditioning. No construction risk remains, as the building phase has ended.
The plot is small at 50 m², so outdoor space is limited to the terrace and pool area rather than a garden. The pool is private but unheated. The swimming season at this coast is around four months with water temperatures of 20°C or more. A car remains practical for longer trips despite local bus lines.
This property fits a buyer who wants a finished, generously sized home in one of Marbella's established addresses, without any construction phase or off-plan waiting time. Recognisable situations include: a household relocating permanently that needs four en-suite bedrooms so that children or guests each have independence; a buyer dividing time between countries who values 24/7 security during long absences; and a retiree couple who want single-level-plus-basement living with a gym, spa and sauna on site rather than a club membership elsewhere. The profile also matches a buyer who entertains: 130 restaurants within 2 km and two marinas within 1.5 km make hosting straightforward. It fits less well for certain other profiles. Buyers seeking a large private garden will find the 50 m² plot limiting, outdoor space is the terrace and pool zone. Households wanting a heated pool for year-round swimming should note the pool is unheated and the natural swimming season runs about four months. Buyers dependent on public transport will manage locally, 11 bus lines and 50 stops serve the area, but golf courses, at 6.6 to 8.9 km, and Marbella's wider attractions are easier with a car. Finally, the fixed price near €3.8 million places this home in a specific budget band; it is not a negotiable entry-level purchase, and comparison with newly built alternatives further along the coast (from roughly €270,000 to €320,000 in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona) shows the premium paid here is for location and finish rather than floor area alone.
The build dates from 2023, which places it under current technical standards rather than older coastal stock. The kitchen is fitted with appliances from Miele, Siemens and Smeg, three premium brands covering cooking, cooling and dishwashing, integrated into an open-plan layout with the living area. Windows are Schüco sliding systems, a German aluminium brand used for large glazing panels and smooth terrace access; combined with the private terrace, this supports the indoor-outdoor layout the design intends. Climate control works on two levels: underfloor heating for winter and air conditioning for summer, allowing zone-by-zone adjustment rather than a single system. The design language mixes Scandinavian and Andalusian elements, which in practice means light materials and restrained interiors alongside regional details. The four bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom, and the property counts five toilets in total across its 303 m², of which 252.44 m² is usable interior space; the remainder is terrace and circulation. A private basement adds storage or flexible space beyond the main floors. Fitted wardrobes, WiFi readiness and a private pool complete the specification. Condition is recorded as excellent, consistent with a two-year-old, key-ready home. Points a buyer can verify at viewing: the actual insulation performance behind the underfloor heating, the maintenance schedule of the private pool, and the community fees attached to the gym, spa, sauna and 24/7 security, since these services carry ongoing costs regardless of usage.
The asking price is fixed at €3,795,000 for the property as a whole, this is an existing, completed home, not a price-list project. At 303 m² of living space, this equates to roughly €12,500 per m², a level consistent with completed, high-specification homes on the Golden Mile. The price reflects the 2023 completion, the four en-suite bathrooms, the private pool and basement, and the gated community with staffed security and wellness facilities. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees), community fees for the shared amenities, and annual property tax (IBI), for which exact figures should be requested from the seller or agent.
Daily life at this address is shaped by two factors: the managed, gated environment of the community and the density of the surrounding Golden Mile district. Within the gates, the day revolves around the private pool, the terrace with its south-east orientation, and shared use of the gym, spa and sauna. Security is staffed around the clock, which means deliveries, guests and absences are handled without the resident present. The morning sun reaches the south-east-facing terrace early, while the afternoon moves to the rear of the home, a pattern that suits breakfast outdoors rather than late-day sunbathing on the terrace itself. Outside the gates, the district is fully urban. The beach at Playa de la Bajadilla is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, downhill with a moderate 4.9% gradient, so the walk back is a steady climb that most residents manage in ten to fifteen minutes. Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella both lie about 1.4 km away, offering a fishing port atmosphere and moored boats rather than the yacht retail of Puerto Banús further west. Practical errands require little planning: the 2 km radius counts roughly 130 restaurants, 24 cafés, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks, so groceries, dining and services are woven into the neighbourhood. For sport, the municipal swimming pool is 0.9 km away and the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima 0.9 km. The area is busy year-round rather than seasonal, as the Golden Mile combines permanent residents with hotel guests, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds stand in the wider area. Out of season the district quietens but does not empty, which is relevant for buyers who plan extended off-peak stays.
The Golden Mile sits directly west of Marbella centre and functions as a continuous urban corridor toward Puerto Banús. This means the surroundings are neither rural nor isolated: 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools serve the wider area, including the British International School 3.0 km away and the English International College 7.7 km away. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the district. For recreation, three golf facilities lie between 6.6 and 8.9 km, The Range for lessons, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf, which puts serious golf within a short drive rather than walking distance. The immediate outdoor life is coastal instead: Playa de la Bajadilla at 1.3 km, Playa de Casablanca at 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.9 km, all in a straight line. Two viewpoints, Mirador de los Gitanos (2.5 km) and Mirador de Ojén (4.8 km), offer walking destinations in the hills behind the coast. An electric-vehicle Supercharger stands 4.3 km away. Housing activity in the area is substantial, 4,743 transactions per year, indicating a liquid resale market, which matters for buyers who want exit options later.
The map shows the duplex on the Golden Mile, with Playa de la Bajadilla and two marinas 1.3–1.5 km to the east and the golf valley 6.6–8.9 km to the north-west. Marbella's centre lies 7 km along the coast. All distances shown are straight-line; actual road routes are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The property occupies a position on the Golden Mile, the stretch between Marbella centre (7 km straight-line) and Puerto Banús that is one of the Costa del Sol's longest-established premium addresses. Málaga city, with 579,076 inhabitants and the region's airport, lies 54 km to the east; Algeciras and Gibraltar (59 km) sit to the west. The location is therefore central within the western Costa del Sol, with the coast's main urban centre reachable in under an hour and an international airport about 38 km away in a direct line. The area records 4,743 housing transactions per year, reflecting an active market around Marbella's 147,958 inhabitants.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies 1.3 km as the crow flies, downhill at a 4.9% gradient, walkable, with a climb on the return. Marbella centre is 7 km straight-line, roughly a ten-minute drive along the coastal road. Málaga Airport is approximately 38 km in a straight line, and Gibraltar Airport 59 km; road distances and travel times to both are longer than these direct figures. Puerto Banús and the golf courses are best reached by car, as the nearest course lies 6.6 km away. Public transport exists locally: 11 lines and 50 stops serve the district, enough for trips within Marbella without a car, though regional journeys still favour driving. The district's density of restaurants, pharmacies, banks and cafés within 2 km means daily errands rarely require a vehicle.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.3°C at an elevation of 81 metres, low enough that no part of the property sits on a steep hillside, though the walk to the beach descends at a moderate 4.9% incline. The swimming season lasts about four months, defined by sea water at 20°C or warmer; outside this window the private pool is unheated, so outdoor swimming depends on season and personal tolerance. The south-east orientation of the main living side brings morning and midday sun, with shade developing later in the day, a pattern that keeps breakfast and lunch outdoors comfortable in summer while reducing late-afternoon heat load. The position between sea and the hills behind Marbella gives the terrace sea views and the wider area two marked viewpoints within 5 km for walking. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, in line with the Mediterranean pattern of the Costa del Sol.

Three beaches lie within 4 km in a straight line: Playa de la Bajadilla at 1.3 km, next to the marina of the same name; Playa de Casablanca at 3.2 km; and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.9 km. Bajadilla combines a working fishing port (Puerto Pesquero, 1.5 km) with the marina, giving the coastline a local character alongside the tourist beaches. Golfers 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, all a short drive. Sports facilities are closer: the Pabellón de Gimnasia Rítmica at 0.6 km, the municipal pool at 0.9 km, the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 0.9 km and the Supera Miraflores centre with pool at 1.0 km. Within the community itself, residents use the gym, spa, sauna and communal pool, so daily recreation needs no car.
