A five-bedroom detached villa of 868 m² on a 1,224 m² south-facing plot, situated within a gated and guarded community on Marbella's Golden Mile. The house was completed in 1970, has been maintained in excellent condition and offers sea views across the Mediterranean from both floors and the roof terrace. The asking price is fixed at €7,470,000. The property is key-ready, with five en-suite bathrooms, a lift serving all floors, a garage for three cars and a private heated pool within landscaped gardens.
At €7,470,000, this villa occupies a different segment of the Costa del Sol market than most new-build developments currently on sale along the coast. The comparable projects listed, 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 the volume new-build market in the eastern and western halves of the region. The price gap reflects several factors at once: built volume (868 m² against typically 70–120 m² apartments), land (a 1,224 m² private plot with pool and garden rather than a communal setting), and above all address. The Golden Mile has for decades been Marbella's benchmark location, supported by hotel infrastructure, beach clubs and proximity to both the old town and Puerto Banús. The area's own market activity is substantial: 4,743 housing transactions per year are recorded locally, and the tourism base of 52 hotels and 12,781 beds sustains year-round demand for rental and resale. Buyers comparing this villa with new-build alternatives elsewhere on the coast are effectively weighing a finished, established property in a prime location against developer guarantees and modern energy standards in secondary locations. The 1970 construction date is the main structural difference: it removes new-build warranties from the equation but places the buyer in a location where comparable plots are scarce. For households focused on the Golden Mile specifically, the practical alternatives are renovation projects or off-plan villas at similar or higher price points, each with their own timelines and planning risk.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands on the Golden Mile, the coastal strip between Marbella's town centre, roughly 7 km away, and Puerto Banús. Playa de la Bajadilla lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies, reached over a moderate gradient of about 4.9%. Two marinas sit within 1.5 km, and the surrounding neighbourhood counts 130 restaurants and 24 cafés within a 2 km radius.
The layout serves a household that needs space and privacy: five en-suite bedrooms, a primary suite occupying the entire upper floor, a cinema, wine cellar, gym and a room currently used as an office that could function as guest accommodation. The kitchen includes a breakfast corner, the living area opens onto terraces, and an integrated sound system runs through the house and garden.
This is an existing home completed in 1970, offered key-ready in excellent condition. The construction date carries practical consequences: the villa is not covered by new-build guarantees, and renovation or modernisation work, if desired, would follow the local licensing route for older properties. No phased delivery or developer construction schedule applies.
The data lists no information about the developer, the plot's exact orientation beyond the south-facing main façade, or annual running costs such as community fees and municipal taxes. The house offers no direct beach access; the coast is 1.3 km away on foot. No mention is made of solar panels or an energy performance certificate in the available material.
This property fits a buyer who wants a large, move-in-ready family home or second residence on the Golden Mile without undertaking a construction or renovation project first. The five en-suite bedrooms and the separate lower-level facilities suit households that regularly host guests, adult children or staff, while the office-cum-guest room adds flexibility for owners who work remotely. The lift and single-level living areas on the ground floor make the house manageable for owners who prefer to limit stairs over time. Buyers seeking a contemporary new-build villa with developer guarantees should note the 1970 construction date; those planning to alter or expand the property will need to factor in licensing for works on an existing structure. The property also suits a purchaser who values security and low-maintenance outdoor space: community staff look after the pool and gardens year-round, which matters for owners who are absent for extended periods. Households with school-age children will find the British International School 3.0 km away and the English International College 7.7 km away as the crow flies. A car remains useful for golf, the nearest listed course is 6.6 km away, and for Málaga Airport, roughly 38 km in a straight line.
The finishes described are contemporary and consistent throughout: a warm neutral palette in the living areas, soft indirect lighting, and floor-to-ceiling glazing in the primary suite framing the sea. Each of the five bedrooms has its own bathroom, and the primary bathroom adds a freestanding bathtub and a double vanity alongside the walk-in wardrobe. Climate control is specified in detail: air conditioning, central heating, underfloor heating with separate underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a fireplace for the cooler months. The private pool is heated, which extends its usable season beyond the roughly four months when sea water in the region reaches 20°C. The kitchen is fitted with ample storage, wide worktops and an informal breakfast corner. An integrated sound system serves both the interior and the terraces. The lift connects all floors, and the garage accommodates three cars. The building itself dates from 1970, so the current standard reflects renovation and maintenance rather than original construction; the listed condition is excellent, but buyers commissioning a technical survey should pay specific attention to the structural and installation history of a property of this age. No energy performance data has been supplied in the available material.
The villa is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €7,470,000, this is not a starting price within a wider price list. In exchange, the buyer acquires 868 m² of built living area on a 1,224 m² plot, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a garage for three cars, a lift and a private heated pool. As an established 1970 property in excellent condition, the price reflects location and current finishing standards rather than new-build premiums. Prospective buyers should budget separately for notary, registry and legal costs, and should verify annual community fees and the IBI municipal tax, neither of which appears in the available data.
Daily life in this villa revolves around a clear separation between the entertaining level and the private quarters. The ground floor combines an open living area, dining space and kitchen into one continuous zone that extends onto the terraces; the private pool and garden function as an outdoor room for most of the year given the regional average of 18.3°C. Mornings on a south-facing plot receive light from early on, and the roof terrace provides a vantage point over the sea and La Concha mountain at the end of the day. The upper floor is reserved entirely for the primary suite, with a walk-in wardrobe, freestanding bathtub, double vanity and floor-to-ceiling glazing facing the Mediterranean. The lower level holds the cinema, wine cellar, gym and entertainment room, connected to the rest of the house by a lift, a practical detail for a property of this size and for longer-term liveability. The setting inside a gated, camera-monitored community with its own private gates means that the outdoor spaces can be used without exposure to passers-by. The beach, the Golden Mile promenade and the restaurants around Puente Romano are within walking distance, so a car is not strictly necessary for dinner or a swim, although one is useful for golf, Marbella's old town or the airport run.
The immediate environment combines residential calm with an unusually dense amenity base. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists 130 restaurants, 24 cafés, 28 pharmacies and 20 banks, alongside two dentists and five health centres, figures that reflect the Golden Mile's position between Marbella's hotel zone and the town itself. Education is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area. For daily shopping and errands, everything is reachable on foot or by a short drive. Sport facilities are close: a municipal pool at 0.9 km, the Supera Miraflores centre at 1.0 km and a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion at 0.6 km. Two marinas, Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella, both lie 1.4 km away, offering mooring-adjacent dining and sea access. Tourism infrastructure is significant, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the area, which means the neighbourhood is livelier in summer and quieter in the off-season, a rhythm worth knowing for year-round residents.
The map shows the villa's position on the Golden Mile relative to Marbella's centre and the coastline. Beaches, marinas, golf courses and international schools are marked with their straight-line distances; actual road distances will be longer. The surrounding amenity density illustrates how closely the property sits to both services and open water.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The Golden Mile is Marbella's most established prestige address, running along the coast between the historic town centre and Puerto Banús. Within the region, the position places Málaga and its airport within practical range, while Marbella itself (7 km) supplies everyday urban services, culture and healthcare. Algeciras lies 59 km to the west. The location balances resort-level amenities, hotels, beach clubs, golf, with the infrastructure of a working city of nearly 148,000 inhabitants nearby, which distinguishes it from more remote villa zones further east or west along the coast.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate gradient of about 4.9% between the house and the shore; the actual walking route is longer than the straight-line figure. Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) offer alternatives. Golfers can 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 straight-line distances. Marbella centre is 7 km away, Málaga city 54 km, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 38 km as the crow flies, Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at 59 km. Public transport in the area consists of 11 lines with 50 stops, so day trips without a car are feasible, though a vehicle remains the practical choice for most owners. An electric-vehicle Supercharger is located 4.3 km away.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol profile: an average annual temperature of 18.3°C and a swimming season of about four months when sea water reaches at least 20°C, although the villa's heated private pool extends outdoor swimming well beyond that window. The property sits at 81 m above sea level, low enough to keep the walk to the beach reasonable, the 4.9% gradient is moderate rather than steep by local standards. South-facing orientation maximises sun exposure on terraces and the pool area throughout the day, and the roof terrace's view towards La Concha gives a direct visual link to the mountain backdrop. The views registered for the property include sea, mountain, country, panoramic, garden and pool aspects, reflecting the elevated but coastal position.

Beach life centres on Playa de la Bajadilla at 1.3 km, backed by the fishing port and its marina at 1.5 km. Further along the coast, Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) complete the immediate choice of sandy stretches. Recreation extends beyond the shore: two marinas within 1.4 km, three golf facilities between 6.6 and 8.9 km, and indoor sports centres at 0.6 to 1.0 km. For walking and viewpoints, Mirador de los Gitanos lies 2.5 km away and Mirador de Ojén 4.8 km. The local calendar includes 32 public holidays per year, many tied to Andalusian traditions and summer ferias, which regularly bring processions and festivities within the municipality. The villa's own lower level, cinema, wine cellar, gym, provides recreation that does not depend on the weather or the season.
