Frontline beach duplex with 458 square metres of terrace

The defining number on this 3 bedroom penthouse in Puerto Banús is the outdoor space: 458 square metres of terrace paired with a 279 square metre built area. Arranged as a duplex directly on the beachfront, the property has a private swimming pool on its upper solarium while sitting within walking distance of the Puerto Banús marina.

The terrace and upper solarium

Outdoor space here is split across the duplex levels and exceeds the built size of the home by a wide margin. The main terrace opens directly off the drawing room and holds lateral views over the Mediterranean Sea and the landscaped gardens below, with La Concha mountain visible in the other direction. Upstairs, the solarium functions as a self-contained upper deck. Because it is fitted with its own kitchen, a bathroom, a seating area and a private swimming pool, you can spend the day upstairs without carrying food and glasses up and down the stairs.

Rooms and layout

An entrance hall leads into a spacious drawing room that incorporates the dining area and steps straight out to the sea-facing terrace. The property features 3 bedrooms and 3 en-suite bathrooms. An extra bathroom on the upper solarium serves the pool area independently of the bedrooms.

What the community includes

This beachfront development operates with 24-hour gated security and landscaped communal gardens that sit between the buildings and the sea. Residents have use of both an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor heated pool, which makes swimming practical during the cooler winter months. An on-site restaurant and a social club are also built into the grounds, a rare arrangement that removes the need to go into town for a simple meal.

Location and practical details

From the gates, the marina of Puerto Banús is within walking distance. Still, having one parking space in the underground garage matters in an area where street parking is difficult to find for much of the year. For a buyer comparing a 3 bedroom penthouse in Puerto Banús against a standalone villa, the combination of an underground bay, 24-hour security and a private pool on the upper level offers similar outdoor volume without the maintenance of a private plot.
