Three floors of accommodation eighty metres from the sand

Waiters at La Planche serve Belgian-French food a hundred metres from the front gate, and the sand of Golden Beach is eighty metres away. This 5 bedroom penthouse in Elviria occupies three levels within the beachfront Golden Beach complex, located between El Rosario and the centre of Elviria. The home provides a 200 m2 built area alongside 80 m2 of terraces, configured to sleep up to twelve people.

How the three levels divide the bedrooms

Having five bedrooms and four bathrooms spread over three floors means groups or large families do not live on top of one another. The first floor has been recently renovated and holds the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, equipped with modern appliances and high-speed optical fibre internet. Two of the bedrooms and two brand-new bathrooms sit on this entry level, with one of the bedrooms arranged as an en-suite. One level up, the second floor contains two further en-suite bedrooms, one of which is fitted with a round bathtub. The third floor holds the fifth private bedroom, separated from the rest of the household, though buyers should note that using the whole property involves daily stair climbing across three storeys.

Terraces across all three levels and the Golden Beach complex

Outdoor space totals 80 m2 of terrace split across the three levels rather than concentrated in one place. The first floor opens onto a terrace with an outdoor dining area and a barbecue. The second floor has its own private terrace looking down over the garden, pool, and sea. At the top, the rooftop terrace delivers 360-degree panoramic sea and mountain views, fitted with an outdoor lounge, sunbeds, and a heatable jacuzzi. Below the apartment, the Golden Beach community maintains tropical gardens with streams, fountains, and seating areas. Residents share two large swimming pools and two children's pools, with a children's playground forty metres away at the corner of the complex. Underground parking is available upon request, which is a detail a buyer should clarify early in the viewing process.

Errands on foot and distances to Marbella

Living in this 5 bedroom penthouse in Elviria removes the daily reliance on a car for basic supplies and dining. Beyond La Planche at 100 metres, the Italian restaurant La Scala and the Estrella del Mar Beach Club—which has a spa, gym, sauna, and heated indoor and outdoor pools—sit 150 metres away. Two large supermarkets operate 900 metres from the complex, alongside a pharmacy, a butcher, a hairdresser, cafés, and a bus stop. Golf and tennis clubs are also nearby. When a car is needed for wider travel along the coast, the centre of Marbella is 8 kilometres away and Puerto Banús is a 12-kilometre drive.
