Two levels of generous proportions in the hills above Marbella

The living room opens directly onto a wide terrace, while an internal staircase separates the main reception space from the principal bedroom suite on the upper level. This 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Los Monteros provides a 184 m² built area, a figure more commonly found in three or four-bedroom apartments on this part of the coast. Choosing to divide that footprint into just two bedrooms means the rooms themselves are unusually wide and uncomplicated.

How the two levels work

Across the two floors, the layout holds two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Although the official record counts three bathrooms, the third is configured as a separate guest toilet alongside two full bathrooms. Having a cloakroom for visitors means nobody needs to walk through a bedroom to use the facilities. The master bedroom occupies the upper level and opens onto its own private outdoor area, giving it clear separation from the main living room and the second bedroom.

Two terraces, south light, and a shared pool

Outdoor space totals 56 m² across the terraces, split between the main level off the living room and the private terrace upstairs. Because the building is south-facing, both levels take full sun from late morning through the afternoon, which is a practical advantage during the winter months and means you will want to check the shading arrangements for August. From this elevation in Altos de los Monteros, the outlook takes in panoramic sea and mountain views. Within the wider complex, residents have the use of a swimming pool and parking, both critical inclusions on a hillside where street parking is rarely practical.

Living in Altos de los Monteros

Altos de los Monteros sits on the hillside above the coastal road, a 10-minute drive from Marbella centre and the nearest beaches. That elevation is what secures the clear sightlines over the Mediterranean, though it also means a car is required for daily errands, groceries, and going down to the seafront. When viewing this resale 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Los Monteros, it is worth checking the exact split of the 56 m² between the upper and lower terraces, and testing the drive up from the coast road at the time of day you would normally make it.
