This detached villa is located in Marbella, in the province of Málaga, within walking distance of the beach and the city's urban facilities. The property offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 259 m² of living space on a 600 m² plot, with a private pool and south orientation. The asking price is fixed at €1,180,000. Built in 1970 and described as recently renovated, the villa is key-ready. Marbella centre, with its shops, restaurants, health centres and schools, lies within a short walk or cycle ride, while Málaga Airport sits approximately 39 km away as the crow flies.
Set against Marbella's current offering, this villa occupies a specific position: an existing, renovated detached house in the urban core, priced at €1,180,000 as a fixed asking price. Comparable new-build projects in the city advertise from €945,000 at Salvia to €1,460,000 at Mare, with Royal River starting at €1,200,000. Those projects typically offer contemporary architecture, gated grounds and communal facilities in resort-style settings, generally in locations further from the historic centre, often in the Nueva Andalucía or beachfront zones where golf courses cluster. This villa offers the opposite trade-off: a 1970 building with updated interiors, no communal amenities, but a position within walking distance of the beach, the port, the supermarket and the hospital. Marbella as a market recorded about 4,743 housing transactions per year, and the municipality combines 159,786 residents with substantial tourism infrastructure (52 hotels, roughly 12,800 beds). For buyers comparing options, the choice comes down to lifestyle: new-build resort living with shared pools and security at a similar or higher entry price, versus an established neighbourhood where daily life does not depend on a car. The Mediterranean climate, an annual average of 19.1 °C and a five-month swimming season, applies across all these locations, so it does not differentiate them; walkability and building age do.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an urban part of Marbella where daily amenities are within walking distance. A supermarket lies 234 m away and a pharmacy only 8 m, measured in a straight line. Playa de la Bajadilla beach is roughly 738 m away, and the fishing port and marina are close by. The setting is flat, with a gradient to the beach of about 1.4%, which makes walking and cycling practical for most errands.
The house accommodates a household needing four bedrooms and three bathrooms across 259 m² of living area. The 600 m² plot holds a private garden, a private pool and terraces, and the south orientation supports outdoor use through much of the year. A private garage of 19 m², fitted wardrobes and marble flooring are listed features, along with air conditioning and a fireplace for climate control.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970, which makes it an existing home of over fifty years old, and is described as recently renovated and in good condition. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can in principle be occupied directly after purchase. No phased delivery or developer planning schedule applies to this transaction.
Certain limitations should be noted. The building dates from 1970, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations. The data does not mention a communal pool, gym, security service or gated community, and no storage room beyond the garage is listed. The plot of 600 m² is modest for a detached villa, and no lift is mentioned, with the layout spread over floors.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Marbella year-round benefits from four bedrooms, proximity to 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the municipality, and a hospital within about 1 km. The British International School lies roughly 2.2 km away straight-line. A retired or semi-retired buyer who wants to give up daily car use will find the pharmacy, supermarket, sports centres and beach all within walking distance on flat terrain. A buyer seeking a holiday home gains a key-ready property with a heated private pool, so no renovation project or waiting period applies. Buyers who specifically want a modern new-build villa in a gated resort with communal facilities should look elsewhere, as this is a 1970 property on an ordinary urban street. Similarly, buyers needing a very large plot or total seclusion may find the 600 m² plot and the urban setting limiting. Investors should note that Marbella records roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year, which indicates an active resale market. In short, the house suits buyers who value location and walkability over resort-style amenities and contemporary architecture.
According to the property data, the villa has been recently renovated and is in good condition. The listed materials include marble flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and a modern bathroom and kitchen as shown in the interior photographs. Climate control is twofold: air conditioning with both hot and cold functions has been installed new, and a fireplace provides supplementary heating, which is a practical combination for winter evenings on the Costa del Sol. Outside, the property includes a private 45 m² swimming pool with a heating system, a landscaped garden on the 600 m² plot, a covered porch of about 15 m² and an upper terrace of roughly 30 m² oriented towards the sea. Practical infrastructure includes a private 19 m² garage and an additional water tank with a high-pressure pump, the latter being relevant in a region where water pressure and supply can vary between neighbourhoods. Buyers should weigh the 1970 construction date in their assessment: original structural elements may remain behind the renovated surfaces, and an independent technical survey is the standard step to verify insulation, electrical installations and plumbing. The overall picture from the data is a property updated in stages rather than rebuilt, with modern finishes in the visible living areas and a condition described as good.
The asking price is €1,180,000 and is a fixed asking price for an existing home, not a starting price. For that amount the buyer acquires a four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached villa with 259 m² of living area on a 600 m² plot, including a private pool, private garden and private garage. Within Marbella's current market, comparable new-build projects advertise starting prices from roughly €945,000 (Salvia) to €1,460,000 (Mare), so this villa sits in the middle of that range while offering a completed, renovated property rather than an off-plan purchase. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status.
Daily life at this address is organised around walkability. With a pharmacy 8 m away and a supermarket 234 m away (straight-line distances), most routine shopping can be done on foot. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies about 738 m from the door, and the marina of Marbella is roughly 0.5 km away, which places the harbour, its fish market and its restaurants within an easy stroll. The house itself works as a full-year residence: the south orientation brings daylight into the living spaces, and the pool heating system listed in the property data extends the swimming season beyond the summer months. Indoor living is arranged across two floors, with living, dining and kitchen areas on the ground floor and bedrooms distributed between both levels. Terraces around the house offer a choice of sun or shade at different hours. The surrounding neighbourhood is urban rather than rural: hospitals, schools, banks and sports centres are all within a short radius. Two sports centres sit within 400 m, a municipal swimming pool about 1.1 km away, and the Polideportivo Francisco Norte about 200 m from the property. For residents who prefer not to drive every day, the area's flat terrain and the density of facilities make a car-free routine realistic for local trips, with a car mainly useful for regional travel, golf courses or the airport.
The surroundings combine urban density with direct coastal access. Within 2 km of the property, the area intelligence counts 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés, which describes a fully built-up neighbourhood rather than a peripheral development. The nearest hospital is approximately 996 m away, and five health centres operate across the municipality. For sport, the Polideportivo Francisco Norte lies about 200 m away and Polideportivo Riohuelo about 400 m, with the Supera Miraflores sports and pool facility roughly 600 m from the door. Marbella's marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 0.5 km, Marina la Bajadilla at 1.2 km and the fishing port at 1.3 km, add waterfront dining and moorings within walking range. Public transport covers the city with 11 lines and 50 stops, so trips to other districts do not strictly require a car. For EV drivers, the nearest charging point listed is 2.1 km away and a Tesla Supercharger about 3.3 km. Golf courses begin at around 6 km, with Golf Los Naranjos and The Range both at 6.0 km and Aloha Golf Club at 6.8 km, meaning golf is a short drive rather than a walk-away amenity.
The map shows the villa's position relative to Marbella's coastline and city centre. Note that the distances shown are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances may be longer. The beach, port, supermarket and hospital markers all cluster within roughly one kilometre, illustrating the walkable character of this part of the Costa del Sol.

Within the Costa del Sol, Marbella functions as one of the region's principal municipalities, with 159,786 registered inhabitants in 2025 and the administrative role of head of the regional association of municipalities. The villa's position within the city, close to the port, the beach and the centre, places it in the established urban core rather than in the peripheral golf-and-resort belt. Málaga, the provincial capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 47 km to the north-east, and Algeciras 66 km to the south-west, giving the location access to two larger urban economies within driving distance. This centrality within Marbella itself is the property's distinguishing regional characteristic.
Measured in straight-line kilometres, the villa lies 738 m from Playa de la Bajadilla, 2.4 km from Playa de Casablanca and 2.9 km from Playa de la Fontanilla. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 39 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar Airport as a secondary option at about 58 km. The regional picture includes Málaga city 47 km away, a connection normally made by car along the A-7 or AP-7. Locally, the property's position is its strongest accessibility feature: supermarket at 234 m, pharmacy at 8 m, hospital at 996 m and schools within the municipality's network of 41 primary and 28 secondary schools. The flat terrain (1.4% gradient to the beach) means these distances translate into genuinely walkable routes. A private garage of 19 m² covers car-based travel, and the nearest EV charging infrastructure sits 2.1 km away.

Marbella records an average annual temperature of 19.1 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about five months. The city sits at approximately 31 m above sea level with essentially flat terrain towards the coast, so no steep climbs separate the house from the beach. The surrounding region combines coastline with the foothills of the Sierra Blanca, and the villa's listed sea views from the upper terrace reflect this low-lying position. For residents, this climate profile means outdoor use of the pool, terraces and garden for the majority of the year, supported by the heated pool system, while winter months remain mild enough that the fireplace and air conditioning cover the modest heating demand. The nearest viewpoint, Mirador de los Gitanos, lies 3.3 km away for walks with coastal panoramas.
