Frontline beach living with nearly equal indoor and outdoor space

Stepping out of the communal grounds puts you straight onto the coastal promenade and the sand, with the marina a short walk along the water. This 4 bedroom penthouse duplex in Puerto Banús sits inside Ventura del Mar, a frontline beach development. The flat has been refurbished and comes fully furnished, pairing 213 m² of built area with 196 m² of terrace.

How the two levels divide the bedrooms

Three of the bedrooms sit on the main floor, which keeps the sleeping quarters for family or guests on the same level as the main living and dining room. Two of these downstairs bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while the third uses a separate bathroom nearby. The kitchen is open-plan and fully fitted, meaning cooking happens in the same volume as the dining and seating areas rather than behind a closed door. Upstairs, the top floor is given entirely to the master bedroom, which has its own en-suite bathroom and an adjoining dressing room. A buyer looking at this 4 bedroom penthouse duplex in Puerto Banús gets clear separation between the main suite and the three downstairs rooms.

Almost two hundred square metres of terraces

Outdoor space here nearly matches the built area in size. Off the main living room, a south-southwest facing terrace looks down over the communal gardens and takes the afternoon sun. Up on the top level, the master bedroom opens onto further large terraces that include a barbecue area and a solarium. Having outdoor space on both levels means someone can read quietly upstairs while others use the lower terrace off the living room.

What the community includes

Ventura del Mar runs with on-site security and direct access to the promenade and the beach, so reaching the sea requires no road crossings. The grounds are planted as tropical gardens with streams and ponds leading around the communal pool area. Indoors, residents have use of a gymnasium and a spa with a sauna, steam room and showers, alongside a games and lounge area that has its own cafeteria. For a buyer, this level of shared facilities replaces a separate gym membership, though it is worth checking the seasonal opening hours of the cafeteria and spa when viewing.

Fittings, climate control and underground parking

Floors and bathrooms are finished in marble throughout the property. Every room has hot and cold air conditioning, and the flat is fitted with an alarm system and a safe. Because the property is sold furnished, a buyer should check the inventory list during a viewing to confirm exactly which pieces remain. Down in the underground garage, the flat includes two parking spaces and one storage room, solving the practical problem of keeping two cars off the street in a busy coastal town while leaving room for beach gear downstairs.
