Renovated flat with sea views and direct beach access

Playas del Duque sits directly on the beachfront in Puerto Banús, within walking distance of pharmacies, supermarkets, shops and the marina. Within this residential development, this 3 bedroom middle floor apartment in Playas del Duque, Puerto Banús provides 153 m² of built area and has been recently renovated. Having daily errands and the shoreline on foot removes the constant reliance on a car that defines many hillside urbanisations in Marbella.

Inside the renovated layout

The interior has been reconfigured around an open-plan kitchen fitted with Miele appliances that connects directly to the main living room. Removing the dividing wall brings light deeper into the plan and keeps the cook in the same room as everyone else, though a buyer should check the extraction setup if they cook frequently. All three bedrooms are laid with wooden floors and run on independent air conditioning controls, allowing occupants to set different temperatures in each room at night. The two bathrooms are fitted with underfloor heating, a practical addition for the cooler winter mornings on the coast.

The terrace and what the community includes

Outside, a 16 m² private terrace faces out towards the water with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. At sixteen square metres, the balcony is sized for a dining table and chairs rather than banks of sun loungers, which makes the extensive communal grounds directly below all the more relevant. Residents share communal gardens, four swimming pools and direct beach access from the grounds. The complex also houses a spa, a fitness centre, on-site restaurants and a concierge service. Having four pools and direct gate access to the sand means the modest private terrace is mainly used for meals and looking at the sea, while actual swimming and lounging happen downstairs.

Parking and points to check on a viewing

Two private parking spaces are included with this 3 bedroom middle floor apartment in Playas del Duque, Puerto Banús. In a busy marina district where street parking is scarce in summer, holding two spaces is a significant operational advantage for a household with two cars or regular visitors. When viewing, it is worth checking the exact orientation of the balcony to see what time the sun hits the glass, and asking the concierge about the operating seasons of the on-site restaurants and spa facilities.
