More outdoor space than built area five minutes from the marina

The marina, shops and restaurants are a five-minute walk from the gate, so daily errands do not require a car. Inside a secure complex, this 4 bedroom penthouse with garden in Puerto Banús combines 267 square metres of built area with 331 square metres of terrace and open sea views.

How the 267 square metres of built area are arranged

The main living area is broken into three distinct zones: a lounge, a television area and a dining space that connects straight to a fully equipped kitchen. Having three zones within one room means several people can use the main space at the same time without getting in each other's way, though buyers who prefer separate, closed-off reception rooms should note the open layout. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, which removes morning queues when the property is full. Two of those bedrooms open directly onto the main terrace. The interior design follows an African-inspired, boho aesthetic.

Two terraces, a rooftop kitchenette and a private heated pool

Outdoor space here is larger than the interior. The 331 square metres of terrace split between a main terrace off the living room and bedrooms, and a private rooftop terrace above. The rooftop holds a private heated pool, a kitchenette and a lounge area. A kitchenette on the roof means meals and drinks can be prepared upstairs without carrying trays up and down from the main kitchen. The aspect takes in both sea views and evening sunsets. During a viewing, it is worth checking how the rooftop pool heating is powered and where the outdoor kitchenette storage sits.

Communal gardens, spa and co-working in a gated complex

This 4 bedroom penthouse with garden in Puerto Banús sits within a gated community with 24-hour concierge and security, which simplifies key handovers and winter lock-ups. The shared grounds contain communal gardens with fountains and an outdoor communal pool. Residents also have use of a gym, a spa with a heated indoor pool, and a co-working space. Having a dedicated workspace on site means anyone working remotely does not have to give up one of the four bedrooms to set up a desk. Private parking is included in the complex.
