Generous proportions in a small eastern Marbella community

This property measures 135 square metres of built area alongside a 38 square metre terrace. As a resale 2 bedroom top floor apartment in Río Real, it offers the footprint normally associated with a three-bedroom home, meaning the rooms and circulation spaces are noticeably wider than standard coastal flats. Living on the top level removes the issue of overhead footfall, a practical detail that matters in full-time occupation.

The layout and internal storage

The main room combines the living and dining areas and connects directly to the outside space. Rather than a fully open plan or a closed room, the kitchen is semi-open and comes fully equipped, keeping cooking noise and pans partially screened from the dining table while maintaining a clear line of sight. One of the two bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, while the second bathroom sits separately, which is useful when guests stay over. Storage is addressed properly inside the flat: there are fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms and in the entrance hall, so coats, shoes, and household equipment do not encroach on the sleeping quarters.

The 38 square metre terrace and what the community includes

Stepping out from the living and dining room brings you onto the 38 square metre terrace. That floor area is large enough to hold a full dining table and separate loungers without having to shuffle furniture around to clear a walkway. Below the apartment, the gated development is shared by only 29 residents. A smaller headcount generally means a quieter swimming pool and simpler governance at annual meetings, though buyers should always check how the communal maintenance is split across a smaller pool of owners. The grounds contain communal gardens, a swimming pool, and perimeter security cameras. Parking and heavy storage are handled cleanly: the title includes an underground storage room and a private garage space, supplemented by outdoor parking for guests within the community.

Setting and things to check on a viewing

Río Real sits on the eastern side of Marbella, placing this 2 bedroom top floor apartment in Río Real within reach of the eastern beaches, golf courses, schools, and the centre of Marbella itself. When visiting in person, it is worth checking the exact orientation of the terrace to see what time of day the sun hits the main seating area.
