First floor living on the Elviria beachfront

Los Jardines de las Golondrinas sits directly on the beach in Elviria, east Marbella, right beside the Hotel Don Carlos and the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy. This 4 bedroom middle floor apartment in Elviria occupies a first-floor position within a frontline beach complex, placing the sand and local shops within walking distance.

Four bedrooms across 128 square metres

The layout covers 128 m² built area and is arranged as three main bedrooms plus a smaller fourth guest bedroom, served by three bathrooms. Fitting four bedrooms and three bathrooms into this footprint means the sleeping quarters are compact rather than sprawling, which suits a family needing separate rooms for children or visiting relatives without paying for wasted corridor space. A fully equipped kitchen sits alongside a combined living and dining room. For climate control, the property uses hot and cold air conditioning alongside an open fireplace in the living room.

The terrace and the communal grounds

Facing south, the living room receives direct sunlight through the middle of the day. The private outdoor space is a 7 m² terrace. Seven square metres is enough for a small bistro table and two chairs or a pair of loungers, not for dining with six people, so anyone buying a 4 bedroom middle floor apartment in Elviria with this footprint relies on the community grounds for larger outdoor gatherings. Those grounds include tropical communal gardens and a communal pool right on the beachfront, maintained by the community and watched over by 24-hour security.

Parking, storage and what to check on a viewing

Resale buyers near the beach in east Marbella often struggle with summer parking, so the inclusion of a dedicated car park space and a storage room solves a practical headache for storing beach gear and bicycles. When viewing, measure the smaller fourth bedroom to confirm what bed size it takes, and look at how the 7 m² terrace connects to the living room. Because the complex sits next to the Hotel Don Carlos and local amenities, it is also worth standing on the terrace to check the exact sightlines over the tropical gardens and listening for daytime activity around the pool.
