Afternoon sun across a sixty-square-metre terrace

Sixty square metres of private terrace take the sun from midday right through the afternoon, looking out over the communal gardens. This 3 bedroom penthouse duplex with private pool in El Paraiso is a corner unit arranged over two floors, giving it fewer shared walls and more privacy than a mid-block apartment. Because the terrace is more than half the size of the built area, outdoor space is not an afterthought here; it is a second set of rooms for the warmer months.

The terrace and what the community includes

Afternoon sun means the outdoor areas stay bright until late in the day, though a buyer looking for early morning sun with breakfast should check the exact orientation of each terrace section during a viewing. Being a corner unit reduces foot traffic past the apartment and limits oversight from immediate neighbours. Below the apartment, the residential community is quiet and keeps maintained communal gardens. The building also provides a private parking space and a separate storage room, taking luggage, golf clubs and beach equipment out of the living quarters.

How the two floors work inside

The 115 m2 built area is split across two levels and holds three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Having one bathroom for every bedroom removes morning queues when the flat is full, whether with family or paying guests. Unlike most newer builds on the coast that put the cooking area along one wall of the main room, this property has a separate kitchen alongside a spacious living-dining room. Anyone who prefers to shut the door on cooking smells and dishes will appreciate the separation, while someone wanting a single open-plan room would need to check the wall structure before planning alterations.

Location in El Paraiso and practical points

El Paraiso sits in the eastern part of the Estepona municipality, within driving reach of Estepona town, Puerto Banus and Marbella. Daily errands do not require a long trip: supermarkets, restaurants, playgrounds, schools including international schools, golf courses, beaches and public transport stops are all accessible from the community. A decisive detail for buyers who want the option to let the property is that this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex with private pool in El Paraiso already holds a valid tourist licence, allowing immediate holiday rentals subject to current community rules.
