Beachside living with the marina ten minutes away on foot

The beach is a three-minute walk from the front gate, and the shops, restaurants and bars of the marina take ten minutes on foot. This 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Puerto Banús measures 186 square metres of built area and sits on the beachside of the road, meaning a resident can go for a morning swim or walk into town for dinner without getting the car out of the garage.

Several private terraces and garden views

Outdoor space is divided across several private terraces rather than a single balcony, and includes a dedicated barbecue area. Splitting the outside space gives different orientations and separates the cooking and dining area from quieter seating corners. Every terrace looks down over the landscaped gardens of the Alcazaba, providing a green outlook instead of a view into neighbouring windows. When viewing, it is worth checking the sun position on each terrace at different hours to see which ones hold the light in winter.

Three bedrooms and scope to rework the upper floor

Inside, the layout provides three bedrooms and three bathrooms, giving each bedroom its own bathroom so guests and family do not have to share. Because this is a resale property, the upper floor has the scope to be reconfigured into a single principal suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a freestanding bath in natural light, and a private home office area. A buyer considering this work can inspect where the plumbing stacks run and which walls are structural.

Pools, gym and an on-site restaurant in the community

Few residential complexes keep full facilities running outside the summer months, which makes the communal setup here unusual. Alongside the communal gardens and outdoor swimming pool, residents have use of a heated indoor pool, a gym and saunas, as well as an on-site restaurant within the grounds. That changes how this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Puerto Banús works between November and March, when outdoor pools on the coast are too cold for most swimmers.

Underground parking, storage and walking distances

The property includes underground parking and a private storage room. Having a secure space below the building solves the main practical problem of Puerto Banús in July and August, when street parking near the sea ceases to exist, while the lock-up room keeps luggage, beach gear and bicycles out of the flat. Being able to reach both the seafront and the commercial centre on foot means the car can stay parked downstairs for days at a time.
