Open-plan living across 154 m² with two private terraces

An open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the core of this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Jardines del Puerto, Puerto Banús, connecting directly to the outside space. Because the kitchen is fully open to the main room, the cook stays part of the conversation, though anyone who prefers cooking smells and noise shut behind a door will need to note the single-room arrangement. The 154 m² built area holds three bedrooms and two bathrooms on one level, making a substantial footprint for a flat in the middle of town.

Two terraces and the communal grounds

Outdoor space here splits across two private terraces totalling 44 m². Having two separate outdoor areas usually means different orientations or access from different rooms, which is worth checking on a viewing to see where the sun sits in the morning versus the late afternoon. Beyond the private terraces, the gated community of Jardines del Puerto encloses mature landscaped gardens and four communal swimming pools. Four pools across one complex helps spread the load in July and August, particularly in a building where holiday lets are active.

Short-term rentals and underground parking

Short-term rentals are allowed in this complex. For a buyer who only uses the flat for a few weeks a year, this removes a major administrative hurdle, though it also means neighbours will change more frequently during the summer months. A private underground parking space is included with the property. In a central district where street spaces are scarce and surface car parks fill up early, keeping a car below ground saves considerable time every day.

Walkability and what to check on site

Buying a 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Jardines del Puerto, Puerto Banús puts you within walking distance of the marina, beach clubs, restaurants, and shops. A household can manage day-to-day errands and evening meals entirely on foot. Because this is a ground-floor unit in a busy resort town with active holiday lets, a viewing should focus on the exact position of the flat within the complex: how close the two terraces sit to the communal walkways, which of the four pools is nearest, and how much foot traffic passes by during the day.
