Central Marbella living on a compact footprint

The beach, the seafront promenade, and Plaza de los Naranjos in the historic Old Town are all a short walk from the front door. This 2 bedroom 1 bathroom middle floor apartment in Marbella sits in the centre of town, surrounded by shops and restaurants that can be reached entirely on foot. Because daily errands and beach trips require no car, the flat works well as a lock-up-and-leave base or a holiday let.

How the 45 square metres are used

Fitting two bedrooms into a 45 m² built area means every square metre has a specific job and circulation space is kept to a minimum. The property has been fully renovated, removing the need for immediate building work or redecorating before moving in. An open-plan kitchen connects directly to the living room, keeping the main room bright and avoiding the boxed-in feel common in smaller, older flats. The flat includes fitted wardrobes, good storage space, and air conditioning. The single bathroom is unusual for a property of this size because it holds both a bath and a walk-in shower, rather than forcing a choice between the two.

Building access, outdoor space and community

Prospective buyers need to note the physical layout of the building: this is a second-floor interior apartment with no lift. Walking up two flights of stairs with luggage or shopping is part of daily life here, and it rules the property out for anyone with limited mobility. Facing the interior of the building rather than the street typically reduces traffic noise in a busy town centre, though a viewer should check the exact natural light levels at different times of day. The focus remains entirely on the surrounding town and beach right outside.

The tourist licence and what to check

A decisive feature of this resale 2 bedroom 1 bathroom middle floor apartment in Marbella is its transferable tourist licence. With rules around short-term holiday lets tightening across the Costa del Sol, having a valid licence already in place saves significant administrative uncertainty for a buyer who wants the option to let the flat to visitors. When viewing, it is worth checking the storage capacity in the kitchen, measuring the bedrooms to see what bed sizes they comfortably take, and confirming the paperwork for the licence transfer with a lawyer.
