More terrace than built area across two levels in Artola

Artola sits in Marbella East, close to the Mediterranean coastline and local golf courses. This 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Artola combines 173 m² of built area with 196 m² of terraces, meaning the outdoor space exceeds the room area. The layout places all bedrooms and the main reception rooms on the lower floor, keeping the upper level for an additional room, a solarium, and a private pool.

Main level reception and kitchen

The lower level centres on a living and dining area of nearly 50 m² and a 17 m² kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along the living room, bringing in natural light and giving direct access to the main terrace and its Mediterranean views. At 17 m², the kitchen is a substantial working room rather than a narrow galley, positioned at the core of the floor plan so it serves both the dining area and the outdoor tables without long walks.

Three bedrooms kept on one floor

All three bedrooms and three bathrooms sit on the main floor, which avoids splitting family members or guests across stairs at night. A separate night area holds the 21 m² primary suite and the first guest bedroom, both of which have en-suite bathrooms. The primary bedroom also includes a dressing area and direct terrace access. A third bedroom with fitted wardrobes lies slightly apart and uses a separate full bathroom, a layout that works well because that third bathroom also serves visitors without anyone walking through a bedroom.

The 196 m² terrace, solarium, and community grounds

The upper level has an additional room that opens onto a 123 m² solarium with a private pool and panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Having a room up here is a major practical detail in a 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Artola: it provides somewhere indoors on the pool level for shade, drinks, or glassware without carrying everything up and down the stairs from the main kitchen. subtracting the 123 m² solarium from the 196 m² total leaves roughly 73 m² of terrace on the main level off the living room and primary bedroom. At ground level, the community includes landscaped gardens and parking.

What to check when viewing

Because this is a resale property with a private pool on an upper level, a buyer should ask about the maintenance routine for the pool plant and how the community rules handle the private installation. When viewing this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Artola, it is also worth checking the stair configuration between the two floors and testing how the sun and wind move across both the main terrace and the elevated solarium at different hours.
