Renovated penthouse in the Cádiz building of Playas del Duque

The built area comes to 136 square metres, accompanied by a 30-square-metre private terrace. This 2 bedroom penthouse with beachfront in Puerto Banús occupies a spot in the Cádiz building within Playas del Duque. A recent renovation replaced the original interior with an open-plan layout and large windows that pull daylight deep into the property.

Inside the apartment

Sharing 136 square metres of built area across two bedrooms and two bathrooms means the rooms are noticeably wider than those in standard coastal flats of this bedroom count. The recent refurbishment stripped out older partition walls to form a single main living area. From this central room, the view looks out towards the Mediterranean Sea. Because the layout is open-plan, whoever is using the kitchen area shares the light and the sea view with the rest of the room, though a buyer who prefers a closed-off kitchen for cooking smells will need to factor that in.

The 30-square-metre terrace

The living room opens directly onto the 30-square-metre terrace. In a penthouse, outdoor space is often split between a narrow balcony and an upstairs roof space, which means carrying plates up a staircase. Here, the terrace sits directly off the main room and has enough floor area to take both a dining table and a separate seating arrangement without cramping the walkway. It catches the morning sun and holds the sea view that begins inside the living room.

What the community includes

Playas del Duque is known for the scale of its grounds rather than just its buildings. The communal gardens cover more than 30,000 square metres, forming a private park between the residential blocks and the sea. Within these landscaped grounds sit three swimming pools, wide sunbathing lawns, and two on-site restaurants reserved for the complex. A 24-hour security service staffs the development. For a buyer comparing a 2 bedroom penthouse with beachfront in Puerto Banús against younger complexes further up the hill, this amount of mature green space at sea level is the main point of difference, as modern plot ratios no longer allow gardens of this size.

Parking and surrounding streets

A private parking space is included in the sale, with straightforward access up to the apartment. In practice, a car is not necessary for everyday life. The complex sits frontline to the beach, placing the sand, the Puerto Banús marina, supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, and clothing shops within a flat walk from the street entrance.
