A 1991 duplex with 241 square metres of built area to modernise

Three golf clubs—Aloha, Las Brisas, and Los Naranjos—border the residential blocks of Nueva Andalucía, alongside tennis courts, restaurants, and cafés. Inside this neighbourhood, this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Aloha Gardens, Nueva Andalucía provides 241 square metres of built area. Built in 1991, the home is a candidate for an interior renovation that updates the rooms while keeping the original two-level structure.

Two levels that separate living from sleeping

The layout puts all daytime rooms on the lower floor and keeps the bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs, an open-plan living and dining room opens directly onto a private terrace. The kitchen is independent rather than part of the living room, which keeps cooking smells and noise contained, though a buyer renovating the flat will likely check whether the dividing wall is load-bearing. A guest lavatory completes this entry level, so visitors do not need to go upstairs.

All three bedrooms sit on the upper floor. The main bedroom has its own dressing room, an en-suite bathroom, and direct access to an upper terrace. The other two bedrooms share the second full bathroom, a straightforward arrangement for children or occasional guests.

Eighty square metres of terraces and what the community includes

Outdoor space totals 80 square metres of terrace split across the levels. Beyond the lower terrace off the living room and the upper terrace off the main bedroom, an external staircase leads from the bedroom terrace up to a private rooftop solarium. Because the solarium is reached via the main bedroom's terrace, anyone going up to the roof walks past the main bedroom door—a layout point worth noting if you plan to host groups upstairs.

The property sits within Aloha Gardens, a gated community with three shared swimming pools, communal gardens, and parking. While search filters sometimes group this listing under properties with a private pool, the pools here are shared across the enclave. Having three separate pool areas spreads out the residents during the busier summer months.

What to check when viewing a 1991 property

When viewing this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Aloha Gardens, Nueva Andalucía, the priority is assessing the scope of modernisation. In a property constructed in 1991, a buyer should look closely at the original plumbing, the electrical consumer unit, and the condition of the terrace waterproofing beneath the tiles, particularly on the rooftop solarium. The proximity to Puerto Banús, central Marbella, schools, and the coast makes the location practical for year-round use, provided the interior is brought up to current standards.
