Renovated beachfront flat on Marbella's seafront promenade

Direct access to the seafront promenade and a recent renovation set this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Marbella apart from older unrefurbished stock in the town centre. The flat measures 60 square metres of built area and sits right next to the beach within walking distance of both the shops and the old town.

How the 60 square metres are used

An entrance hall leads into the living room, separating the front door from the main sitting area. The kitchen has been fitted with new cabinetry and appliances as part of the recent overhaul. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom fitted with a shower and screen. Fitting two bedrooms and a distinct hallway into 60 square metres of built area means the rooms are compact, so a buyer should measure the second bedroom for bed sizes when viewing. Heating and cooling are handled by air conditioning.

Two separate terraces and the rooftop

The 5 square metres of terrace space are split across two separate balconies rather than one single area. One terrace opens off the living room, while the second is reached privately from one of the bedrooms. Five square metres divided in two will not take a dining table, though it does give two rooms their own step-out access to outside air. On the top floor of the building, residents have access to a communal rooftop terrace used for drying laundry, which keeps clothes horses out of the flat itself. A private storage room belonging to the property is also on this upper level, useful for beach gear and suitcases that would otherwise crowd a 60-square-metre home.

Position and what to check

Buying a 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Marbella directly on the promenade means you do not need a car for daily errands, the beach, or eating in the old town. No private parking is listed with the property, which is standard for central beachfront buildings of this size; anyone keeping a car here will need to look into rented spaces nearby. When viewing, check the orientation of both terraces and the sound insulation of the glazing against the foot traffic on the promenade below.
