Panoramic sea views and included utilities in Los Monteros

A 23-square-metre terrace looks directly out over Marbella and the Mediterranean Sea. This 3 bedroom middle floor apartment in Los Monteros pairs that outdoor space with a 176-square-metre built area, a tourist licence, and a community setup that absorbs several major household running costs.

The terrace and what the community includes

Stepping out from the main room, the terrace has the proportions to hold both a full dining table and an outdoor sofa arrangement without one crowding the other. Because the views are panoramic across the sea and Marbella, the outlook is the focal point when sitting outside. Down within the complex, residents have access to three communal swimming pools, one of which is heated, extending the months in which you can actually swim. A critical detail for anyone calculating ongoing ownership is what the community quota covers: water, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a package of television channels are all included in the community fees. Having the air conditioning and water usage folded into a single communal charge removes the need to manage several separate utility contracts, which is particularly straightforward for non-resident owners.

Layout, kitchen and storage

Inside, the 176 square metres of built area are noticeably generous for a three-bedroom flat, leaving room for proper storage right from the front door, where the entrance hall is fitted with built-in cupboards. The main living and dining area is a single room that opens directly onto the terrace. An open-plan kitchen with a built-in wine cooler is integrated into this space, meaning the cook stays connected to the dining table and the sea view, though it also means cooking sounds and smells share the main room. Away from the living area are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an additional guest toilet. Having that separate cloakroom prevents visitors from needing to use the bedrooms' bathrooms. The main bedroom is fitted with a walk-in wardrobe rather than standard reach-in closets, keeping bulky furniture out of the sleeping area.

Lighting, parking and the tourist licence

Throughout the rooms, a Philips Hue smart lighting system is installed, allowing the colour and intensity of the lights to be adjusted from room to room. Outside the front door, the logistics are simple: the property comes with a private parking space located very close to the apartment, alongside a separate storage room for luggage, golf clubs, or beach gear. This 3 bedroom middle floor apartment in Los Monteros also holds an active tourist licence. For a buyer who intends to let the property when not in residence, having the licence already in place avoids the administrative wait of a new application, though a buyer should always verify current community statutes regarding short-term lets during conveyancing.
