Renovated Romana Playa studio by the beach

A 15 m² private terrace with partial sea views extends the living area of this 1 bedroom middle floor studio in Elviria. Set within the Romana Playa development on the beachside of eastern Marbella, the property has been recently renovated and holds an active tourist licence.

The terrace and what the community includes

At fifteen square metres, the terrace adds over a third again to the size of the property. That gives enough floor area for a proper dining table and chairs alongside sun loungers, rather than forcing a choice between the two. The orientation is sunny and looks out towards the water for a partial sea view. Downstairs, the Romana Playa community maintains communal gardens, a swimming pool and communal parking within the grounds. In a beachside area where street space fills quickly during the summer months, having off-street communal parking inside the development solves a daily logistical problem for residents and visiting guests alike.

How the 43 m² built area works

Inside, the 43 m² built area is arranged as a single studio layout recorded with one bedroom and one bathroom. Because one space handles sleeping, cooking and sitting, storage and clear floor lines matter more here than in a larger flat. The recent renovation addressed this directly by installing a fully fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar, which divides the cooking zone from the rest of the room and removes the need for a separate indoor dining table. The bathroom is spacious, and the layout includes dedicated storage so suitcases and everyday items stay out of sight.

Tourist licence and management options

The studio comes with an established tourist licence and a documented rental history, having recorded 85 to 90 percent occupancy during 2025 and guest review ratings above nine. For a buyer who lives abroad or wants a hands-off arrangement, the current owner offers to continue managing the property and its existing bookings. A prospective buyer should ask to review the community statutes regarding holiday lets and check the handover terms for future reservations.

Beachside Elviria and local connections

Leaving the building puts you walking distance from Elviria Beach and close to the protected surroundings of the Marbella Dunes Ecological Reserve. Chiringuitos, beach clubs, restaurants and public transport stops sit within easy reach on foot, meaning a car is not needed for day-to-day errands or dining out. When travelling further along the coast, this 1 bedroom middle floor studio in Elviria is roughly 10 minutes from Marbella centre, 15 minutes from Fuengirola and 30 minutes by road from Málaga Airport.
