South light and 148 square metres of built area on the ground floor

Facing due south, the main rooms and the outdoor space receive direct sun from mid-morning through to late afternoon. This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom ground floor apartment in Atalaya has a 148 m² built area, a generous footprint for a two-bedroom layout that translates into wider circulation spaces and larger individual rooms than standard coastal flats.

The 30 m² covered terrace

Both the living-dining room and the main bedroom open directly onto a 30 m² covered terrace. Because the space is roofed and faces south, the overhead structure blocks the highest midday sun in summer while allowing lower winter light to reach the back of the living room.Thirty square metres provides enough floor area to keep a permanent dining table and separate seating out of the rain without one crowding the other.

Inside the apartment

The kitchen is separate from the main living-dining room, comes fully equipped, and has its own separate laundry room, keeping washing machines and drying racks out of the cooking area. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes built into the walls. The main bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a double sink and a bathtub, as well as its own glass doors to the terrace. A second full bathroom serves the guest bedroom and visitors from the hallway.

Pools, gardens and security in the community

The property sits within a private residential complex in the Atalaya and El Paraiso area, midway between Marbella and Estepona. The grounds are laid out with tropical-style landscaping, a waterfall feature, and two communal swimming pools. On-site security is handled through controlled access, a concierge service, and video surveillance, which matters for owners who leave the flat empty between visits. A private parking space and a storage room are included with the apartment.

Details to check on a viewing

When viewing a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom ground floor apartment in Atalaya inside a mature tropical complex, check how the planting in front of the terrace affects the afternoon sun and the view toward the gardens. It is also worth measuring the storage room to see if it takes bicycles or golf bags, and checking the walking route from the allocated parking space to the front door of the flat.
