Step-free ground floor living in La Alcazaba
An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the main room, connecting directly to the outside without a single step.Listed on the feed as a 1 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Puerto Banús, the swimming pool is in fact a large shared facility set within the gardens of La Alcazaba. Across a 58 m² built area, the layout comprises one bedroom and one bathroom alongside the main room, making it straightforward to furnish and keep tidy.
Renovated kitchen and climate control
The kitchen has been recently renovated with Bosch appliances and remains open to the living and dining area so that light reaches the back of the room. Rather than dividing a compact footprint into small boxes, the open layout keeps the 58 m² built area practical for one person or a couple. Heating and cooling are handled by air conditioning in every room, which is necessary on the coast during the summer months. Because the flat is on the ground floor, bringing in shopping or luggage involves no stairs at all.
The terrace and what the community includes
Doors from the living room open onto a 5 m² terrace that faces directly into the communal gardens rather than neighbouring walls. Five square metres will not take a full outdoor dining table, so buyers who want to host large lunches outside will find it too small, though it comfortably fits a small table and two chairs for morning coffee. Beyond the terrace sits La Alcazaba, a gated complex built in 1983 with 186 apartments, 24-hour security and a manned reception. Residents share a large communal pool with a summer restaurant, a gym, a spa and communal parking spaces.
Registered tourist licence and community rules
Unlike many blocks near the marina that restrict holiday lets, this property holds an active tourist licence and has explicit community approval for short-term letting. A buyer who wants a 1 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Puerto Banús for personal holidays can let it legally during unused weeks, though anyone expecting a sole-use pool should note that the pool here is shared among the complex. Because the registration is already in place, letting can continue from completion without waiting for paperwork.
Walking distances to the beach and marina
Daily errands and beach trips do not require a car from this part of the coast. The sand and the beachfront promenade are 450 metres away, which takes around six minutes on foot, while the marina at Puerto Banús is a seven-minute walk of 550 metres. For food shopping and department store goods, El Corte Inglés is 400 metres from the gate, and the Saturday market at Centro Plaza in Nueva Andalucía sits 1.5 kilometres inland. Along the promenade, footpaths run continuously south toward Puente Romano and Marbella centre, and north toward San Pedro de Alcántara.
Does this apartment have its own private swimming pool?
Although categorised under listings for a 1 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Puerto Banús, the pool at La Alcazaba is a large communal facility. It sits within the shared gardens a few steps from the apartment and includes a poolside restaurant that opens during the summer season.
Is short-term holiday letting allowed in La Alcazaba?
Yes, the apartment already holds a registered and active tourist licence. The community of owners also permits short-term letting, so a new owner can let the property immediately after completion without going through an application process.
What facilities are covered by the community in La Alcazaba?
Built in 1983, the gated complex of 186 apartments provides 24-hour security, a manned reception desk, mature communal gardens, a gym and a spa. Residents also have access to communal parking within the grounds and the main pool area.
How big is the terrace and what does it overlook?
The terrace measures approximately 5 m² and connects directly to the living room on the ground floor. It is sized for a small table and chairs rather than full outdoor dining, and it looks straight out onto the communal gardens.
How far are the nearest shops and the beach on foot?
El Corte Inglés is 400 metres away, taking about five minutes on foot, while the beach and promenade are 450 metres away, or roughly six minutes walking. The Puerto Banús marina is 550 metres from the complex, and Centro Plaza is 1.5 kilometres away.
1 Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment with Pool in Puerto Banús
Property Description
What makes La Alcazaba what it is becomes clear on the way in. The gardens are among the best maintained in all of Puerto Banús and give the complex a calm, green character that the newer developments around the marina rarely come close to. This apartment sits on the ground floor with its own terrace opening directly onto that greenery.
The property measures 58 m² with one bedroom, one bathroom and a terrace of approximately 5 m². The layout is open plan, the kitchen has been recently renovated with Bosch appliances, and air conditioning is installed in every room. The ground floor position means no stairs, and the terrace connects directly to the living area.
A renovated kitchen and an open layout.
The kitchen in this apartment has been recently renovated with Bosch appliances and opens onto the living and dining area. The open plan layout keeps the property bright and easy to furnish across its 58 square metres, and air conditioning in every room keeps the indoor climate comfortable right through the summer season.
A terrace that opens onto the gardens.
The terrace measures approximately 5 m² and sits directly off the living area, looking straight out over the community gardens. It is compact, with room for a small table and morning coffee rather than for a full outdoor dining set. The value lies in the greenery immediately outside and in the ground floor position, which gives the terrace direct contact with the garden instead of a view over neighbouring facades. For longer hours outdoors, the community’s large pool area is a few steps away.
Short term letting is permitted and the licence is already in place.
The property holds an active tourist licence and has approval from the community for short term letting. This is unusual in Puerto Banús and makes the apartment immediately usable as an investment, either as a dedicated rental unit or as a personal holiday home generating income during the weeks it is not in use. The licence is already registered, which means letting can begin from completion without an application process.
A community with full service around the clock.
La Alcazaba was built in 1983 and comprises 186 apartments. The complex is gated with security and a manned reception 24 hours a day. Shared facilities include a gym, a spa and a large pool area with a restaurant open through the summer season. Parking spaces are available within the community. The community fee is 223 euros per month, which is reasonable given that level of service and a gated complex with round the clock reception. The community is well run with solid liquidity, giving predictable fees and protecting value over time.
Everything in Puerto Banús within walking distance.
From La Alcazaba it is 450 metres to the beach, around six minutes on foot, and 550 metres to the marina at Puerto Banús, roughly seven minutes. El Corte Inglés is 400 metres away, a five minute walk. Centro Plaza in Nueva Andalucía, with its Saturday market, is 1.5 km away. The beachfront promenade runs in both directions from the complex: south towards Puente Romano and Marbella centre, north towards San Pedro de Alcántara. The location makes a car unnecessary for most of daily life, which is one reason short term guests pay a premium here.
