A ground-floor duplex with its own pool in a 40-home community

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms share a built area of 269 square metres, arranged as a ground-floor duplex that opens onto a private terrace and its own swimming pool. This resale 3 bedroom duplex in El Paraiso is one of forty homes in a contemporary residential community on the Costa del Sol. Having a bathroom for each bedroom means three couples or a family with older children do not have to queue in the morning, though it also means there are three wet rooms to maintain.

The terrace and private pool

Ground-floor duplexes in this development come with their own outdoor space and a private swimming pool directly outside the home. Across the duplex units of around 269 square metres in the two blocks, the terrace ranges from nearly 20 to just over 40 square metres, while the private pool surface measures between 11.82 and 15.30 square metres. A pool of that size is made for cooling off and sitting on the steps rather than swimming lengths, and anyone wanting a longer swim will walk over to the communal pool instead. Because the terrace dimensions vary noticeably between the three 269-square-metre units in Block 1 and Block 2, confirming the exact unit number and how much dining and lounging space remains alongside the water is essential.

What the community includes

Forty residences share the grounds, which keeps the footfall around the facilities lower than in the larger macro-communities along the coast. Residents have use of a communal swimming pool set in gardens, supported by changing rooms and service areas. Inside the common parts there is a fully equipped gym and a coworking area for remote work, which frees up the third bedroom inside the duplex from having to serve as a study. The complex operates with 24-hour security, a practical advantage for owners who leave the property empty between visits, though staffed security, a gym and heated or maintained work areas inevitably carry an ongoing share of community expenses that a buyer should verify before committing.

Parking and what to check on a viewing

Parking is included with the property, removing the need to leave a car on the street in El Paraiso. When viewing this 3 bedroom duplex in El Paraiso, a buyer should look closely at how the 269 square metres of built area are divided between the two levels of the duplex, as the written specification does not detail which bedrooms sit on the lower or upper level. Checking the aspect of the terrace and the privacy screening between the ground-floor pool area and the neighbouring units in Block 1 and Block 2 will also show how sheltered the outdoor space feels during the day.
