A four-bedroom duplex penthouse of 155 m² in the Costa Nagüeles I development on Marbella's Golden Mile, offered at a fixed asking price of €855,000. The property was completed in 2002 and is ready for immediate occupancy. It comprises two levels: a main floor with entrance hall, separate kitchen with utility room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a living-dining room opening onto a sea-facing terrace, and an upper floor with a master suite, a further bedroom and a solarium terrace. The gated community offers 24-hour security, communal gardens, a swimming pool and an included parking space. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in Costa Nagüeles I on the Golden Mile, the coastal strip between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús. Marbella's town centre is roughly 7 km away in a straight line, while the beach is 1.3 km distant. Within a 2 km radius, the area counts around 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks, with 11 public transport lines and 50 stops serving the locality.
The layout suits households needing four bedrooms and separate day and night zones. The main floor holds the kitchen, living-dining area and two bedrooms; the upper level contains the master suite with en-suite bathroom, a further bedroom and a solarium. Two terraces provide outdoor space with sea and mountain views. A lift serves the building, and a parking space is included.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2002 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The condition is recorded as good, with air conditioning, double glazing and marble flooring already installed. Completion dates and delivery terms therefore do not apply; transfer follows the standard resale purchase process.
The property has two bathrooms for four bedrooms, so the additional bedrooms share facilities. Parking is limited to the single included space. The home is west-facing, which places main terrace exposure in the afternoon and evening. The gradient to the beach is moderate at 4.9%, and communal facilities mean the pool and gardens are shared with other residents. No private pool or private garden forms part of the offer.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Marbella year-round benefits from four bedrooms across two levels, the proximity of international schools within 3 to 8 km, and daily amenities reachable without consistent car use. A buyer seeking a second home with seasonal occupancy gains a lock-and-leave setup: a gated community with 24-hour security, a communal pool maintained by the community, and a property in good condition that requires no renovation work before first use. An investor evaluating rental potential will note the Golden Mile address, the walking distance to beaches and the marina at 1.4 km, and the tourism infrastructure in the area, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds indicate sustained seasonal demand. The four-bedroom configuration also suits extended families or buyers who regularly host guests, since the upper floor functions as a private zone with the master suite and solarium, separate from the main living level. Less suitable are buyers wanting a private pool, a private garden, or more than one parking space, since none of these form part of the offer. Households needing a bathroom per bedroom will find the two-bathroom layout limiting for four bedrooms. Buyers prioritising morning sun on the main terrace should account for the west-facing orientation, which concentrates direct light in the afternoon and evening.
The property dates from 2002 and is recorded as being in good condition, which places it in the mature rather than the contemporary segment of Marbella's housing stock. The interior features marble flooring throughout, a finish associated with the quality standard of Golden Mile developments of that period, along with fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom in the master suite. The kitchen is a galley layout with white cabinetry and a tile floor, incorporating a utility room, a practical separation of laundry functions from the living areas. Climate control consists of air conditioning combined with double glazing, the standard pairing for year-round habitability on this stretch of coast, where average annual temperatures reach 18.3°C but summer months demand active cooling. The lift serving the building removes the stair burden of the duplex layout for access between the entrance level and the street. The two terraces represent the property's most distinctive technical asset. The main-floor covered terrace extends the living-dining area outdoors with overhead protection, allowing use in stronger sun or light rain, while the upper solarium is open to the sky and oriented for panoramic sea and mountain views. Buyers assessing the property should treat a technical survey in the usual manner for a twenty-year-old building: verifying installation ages for the air conditioning units, checking the condition of terrace waterproofing and glazing seals, and confirming community plans for building maintenance, since these factors determine future running costs rather than the current visual condition.
The asking price is fixed at €855,000 for the 155 m² duplex penthouse with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two terraces and an included parking space. This equates to roughly €5,516 per square metre of built area. As an existing, key-ready home, the price is not a starting figure from which variants diverge; it applies to the specific property described. Costs beyond the purchase price include the standard Spanish resale transaction costs, and community fees will apply for the upkeep of the 24-hour security service, gardens and communal pool; exact figures should be confirmed with the seller or community administrator.
Daily life at Costa Nagüeles I revolves around a low-density residential rhythm within one of Marbella's most established coastal districts. The duplex arrangement separates functions clearly: mornings begin on the main floor, where the living-dining room opens onto a covered terrace facing the Mediterranean, and the separate kitchen with its integrated utility room keeps household logistics contained. Evenings gravitate upstairs, where the solarium terrace captures the western light across sea and mountain panoramas, a practical consequence of the west-facing orientation, with the warmest hours arriving from mid-afternoon onwards. The surrounding area supports a car-light routine to a notable degree. With roughly 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 24 cafés and 20 banks within 2 km, most daily errands can be completed on foot or by bicycle. The municipal swimming pool is 0.9 km away, the rhythmic gymnastics pavilion 0.6 km, and the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima sports complex 0.9 km, giving structured exercise options close to hand. Eleven public transport lines with 50 stops provide connections towards Marbella centre and along the coast for trips where a car is unnecessary. For households with children, the British International School lies 3.0 km away in a straight line and the English International College 7.7 km, within the 41 primary and 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider area. Healthcare is covered by five health centres. The rhythm of the neighbourhood shifts with the seasons: summer brings the full weight of coastal tourism, 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds operate in the vicinity, while the off-season months return the district to a quieter residential character.
The Golden Mile positions residents between two anchors: Marbella's historic centre 7 km to the east and the beach directly below at 1.3 km straight-line distance. The 4.9% gradient to the shore is moderate, meaning the walk down and back is noticeable but manageable for most people. Playa de la Bajadilla is the nearest beach, with Playa de Casablanca at 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.9 km offering alternatives along the same stretch of coastline. Two marinas lie within 1.5 km, Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella at 1.4 km each, plus the Puerto Pesquero fishing port at 1.5 km, providing seafront dining and mooring infrastructure. For groceries and services, the density within 2 km is high: 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 24 cafés and 20 banks cover routine needs without travel. Public transport runs on 11 lines with 50 stops in the area, connecting the district along the coastal corridor. For longer journeys, Málaga airport lies roughly 38 km away as the crow flies and Gibraltar airport 59 km, giving access to two international gateways. The Tesla supercharger at Marbella, 4.3 km distant, supports electric-vehicle owners.
The map shows the property's position on the Golden Mile between Marbella centre and the coast, with the beach 1.3 km below and the two marinas at 1.4 km. Markers indicate nearby schools, sports facilities, golf courses and viewpoints, all with straight-line distances; road routes may be longer.

Within the Costa del Sol hierarchy, the Golden Mile occupies the section of coast immediately west of Marbella's centre, historically the district where the town's hotel and residential development began. The property's position 7 km from Marbella and 54 km from Málaga places it in the established western corridor of the region, closer to Marbella and Estepona than to the airport-side towns. The annual transaction volume of 4,743 in the area indicates an active resale market, and the concentration of hotels along this strip reflects its longstanding role as a destination rather than a commuter zone.
Accessibility around the property combines walkable proximity with road and air connections. The beach at 1.3 km, the municipal pool at 0.9 km and the sports complexes at 0.6 to 1.0 km all sit within short range. Golfers reach The Range at 6.6 km straight-line, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.9 km, the golfing heartland of the valley rather than immediate neighbours. International schools fall at 3.0 km and 7.7 km for the British International School and English International College respectively. By car, Marbella centre is a short drive along the coastal road, Málaga city 54 km straight-line distant, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport approximately 38 km as the crow flies, actual road distances are longer. Gibraltar airport, 59 km away, offers a secondary flight option. All distances given are straight-line; public transport via 11 local lines reduces dependence on the car for routine trips.

The climate data for this location records an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, consistent with the mild Mediterranean regime of the western Costa del Sol. Elevation is 81 metres above sea level, which keeps the property close to sea-level conditions while providing enough height for the recorded sea and mountain views from the terraces. The swimming season extends to four months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, running roughly from early summer into early autumn, the solarium terrace and communal pool align with this window. The 4.9% slope towards the beach indicates terrain that descends gently rather than steeply, relevant both for walking routes to the shore and for how the surrounding hills frame the mountain views. Winters remain sufficiently mild for year-round occupation, which the air conditioning and double glazing support across the seasonal range. The Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint at 2.5 km and Mirador de Ojén at 4.8 km mark nearby access points to the natural landscape behind the coast.

Coastal recreation centres on Playa de la Bajadilla at 1.3 km, the closest beach, backed by the marina of the same name at 1.4 km where boats and seafront amenities cluster. Two further beaches, Playa de Casablanca at 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 3.9 km, extend the shoreline options within a short drive. Swimming beyond the sea is available at the municipal pool 0.9 km away and the Supera Miraflores facility at 1.0 km, the latter combining pool access with sports-centre functions. Structured sport is well represented: the Pabellón de Gimnasia Rítmica sits 0.6 km from the property and the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima 0.9 km, covering indoor disciplines within walking distance. Golf requires a short journey: The Range golf lesson facility lies 6.6 km away in a straight line, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf 8.9 km, placing three courses within reach of a regular playing routine. For quieter leisure, the viewpoints at Mirador de los Gitanos (2.5 km) and Mirador de Ojén (4.8 km) offer walking destinations with elevated perspectives over the coast.

At €855,000 for 155 m², this property occupies a different market segment from the new-build projects commonly listed along the Costa del Sol. The comparable new developments cited, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all sit at price points well below this resale penthouse, but they also occupy different locations and market positions. Torre del Mar and Mijas lie further east along the coast, in areas with a different balance of infrastructure and tourism intensity; Estepona is closer to hand, roughly half an hour further west along the A-7, and has developed its own new-build supply in recent years. The premium in this asking price is attributable primarily to the address. The Golden Mile is among the most established residential strips on the entire coast, with a two-decade-old stock of gated communities, direct proximity to Marbella, and a level of services, 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, five health centres and 41 primary schools within the recorded radius, that newer developments in outlying municipalities take years to accumulate. Buyers comparing this property with the newer projects are therefore weighing location maturity against build age: a 2002 construction in a consolidated district versus contemporary specification in emerging areas. Within the immediate area, the annual transaction volume of 4,743 indicates a liquid resale market, which matters for exit flexibility as much as for entry. The property's per-square-metre figure of roughly €5,516 sits within the range expected for Golden Mile addresses with sea views, communal security and parking included. Buyers prioritising terrace space, view quality and walkable amenities over new-build warranties and modern energy performance will find the trade-off here; those placing greater weight on recent construction may find the eastern Costa del Sol comparables more aligned with their criteria, at the cost of distance from Marbella itself.
