2 Bedroom Apartment in Marbella
Description
In one of the most sought-after locations on Marbella’s beachfront promenade, within easy walking distance of the town centre and just a few minutes’ drive from Puerto Banús, lies this elegant 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in the exclusive Marina Mariola complex – a sophisticated retreat where the Mediterranean sets the rhythm of everyday life.
Its greatest luxury cannot be measured in square metres, but in sensations: from the terrace, the sound of the waves feels close enough to be part of the home itself, with pleasant lateral sea views that constantly remind you of the immediate proximity to the beach and the promenade.
The interior reflects the hallmark quality that makes Marina Mariola so special, with carefully selected finishes, air conditioning and an alarm system that provide comfort and peace of mind every day. The master bedroom, spacious and serene, features an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the terrace, inviting you to wake up each morning to the presence of the sea.
The second bedroom has its own independent bathroom and offers a highly versatile space, perfect for guests or to transform into an elegant home office or workspace. The living room also opens onto the terrace, creating a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors and a welcoming atmosphere where you can relax to the sound of the waves and the sea breeze without leaving home.
The price also includes two parking spaces and a storage room, an essential asset in such a prime location between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús. Living here means enjoying amenities worthy of a high-end resort: a spectacular infinity-style pool facing the sea, a fully equipped gym, separate saunas for men and women, an interior garden designed to provide serenity and beauty, direct access to the beach and a security system that makes the complex one of the most private and prestigious enclaves in Marbella.
All this in a truly exceptional location, less than five minutes from renowned venues perfect for experiencing the most exclusive gastronomy of the Golden Mile, such as the popular Cappuccino Marbella. More than just a property, this apartment represents an exclusive Mediterranean lifestyle, with the comfort, privacy and elegance that only Marina Mariola and Marbella’s Golden Mile can offer.

Marbella
Marbella is one of the Costa del Sol’s best-known municipalities, combining a sizeable year-round population with an established international community. The area stretches from the traditional town centre and seafront to residential neighbourhoods, golf urbanisations and resort-style zones, giving buyers a wide choice of lifestyles and property types. Day-to-day living is supported by extensive shops, restaurants, services and road connections, while the wider appeal of beaches, marinas and leisure amenities keeps demand active across both permanent homes and second-home use.
Marbella combines year-round town life with a strong resort feel, with beaches, marinas, golf, shopping and a broad restaurant scene spread across distinct areas. Day-to-day living is supported by established services and international demand keeps the area busy well beyond peak summer, although traffic, parking and prices can feel more pressured in the most popular zones and seasons.
Area scores
Marbella scores well for airport access, with Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport typically around 35 to 45 minutes away by road depending on the area and traffic. It is practical for regular travel, though journey times can stretch in peak summer periods and busy commuter hours.
Marbella scores highly for city lifestyle because it combines a lively year-round urban base with beaches, marinas, shopping, dining and leisure across several well-established districts. It offers far more everyday choice and international energy than many coastal locations, though traffic, parking and peak-season pressure can make the busiest areas feel less convenient at times.
Marbella scores 10/10 for coastal lifestyle because the sea is central to how the area works, from long beaches and promenades to marinas, beach clubs and seafront dining, all supported by a mature year-round services base rather than a purely seasonal feel.
Marbella scores highly for family living thanks to its broad choice of established residential areas, year-round services, beaches and leisure facilities, with plenty of everyday convenience across the municipality. It suits families who want an international environment and a wide range of amenities, though traffic, parking and higher costs can be a drawback in the busiest zones.
Marbella scores highly for full-time living because it combines a large year-round population, broad everyday services, established residential areas and a strong international community. Buyers can choose between central town living, beachside zones, golf urbanisations and quieter neighbourhoods, while road links, shops, dining and leisure amenities support daily life well beyond the summer seaso
Marbella scores highly for golf lifestyle thanks to the range of well-established courses in and around the municipality, particularly near Nueva Andalucía and the western residential areas. It works well for buyers who want regular access to golf alongside beaches, dining and year-round services, although the experience varies by neighbourhood and the most in-demand zones can feel busier and pric
Marbella scores exceptionally highly for holiday-home appeal thanks to its broad mix of beaches, marinas, golf, dining and shopping, combined with a long-established international scene and strong year-round activity. Buyers can choose between lively resort-style areas, beachside zones and more traditional town settings, making it one of the Costa del Sol’s most versatile second-home locations.
Marbella has one of the Costa del Sol’s most established international communities, with a large foreign resident population, wide use of international services and a lifestyle that attracts both full-time residents and second-home owners from many countries. Its year-round activity, broad choice of neighbourhoods and strong global profile make it one of the clearest 10/10 locations in the area fo
Marbella scores highly for investment potential because it combines strong international demand, broad year-round appeal and a wide property market ranging from central homes to golf and resort-style areas. Its established reputation, extensive amenities and consistent interest from both permanent residents and second-home buyers help support long-term market resilience, although pricing can be hi
Marbella has an established Spanish town centre and year-round neighbourhoods, balanced by one of the coast's largest international resident and second-home populations.
Marbella scores at the very top for luxury appeal thanks to its long-established international profile, marina and beach lifestyle, premium golf and resort areas, and a wide choice of high-end homes across some of the Costa del Sol’s most recognisable addresses.
Puerto Banús, Marbella's harbour and Cabopino make boating, waterside dining and marina life a major part of the municipality's wider lifestyle offer.
Marbella is famous for the coast, but La Concha, Sierra Blanca and the municipality's hillside neighbourhoods give residents unusually direct access to mountain scenery and routes.
Marbella delivers one of the Costa del Sol’s strongest nightlife scenes, with late dining, beach clubs, bars, hotel venues and high-profile spots around Puerto Banús, the Golden Mile and the town centre, plus plenty of activity in peak season and at weekends through much of the year.
Parks, beaches, sports clubs, family venues and a broad calendar of activities give families extensive choice across the municipality.
Central, beachfront and nightlife areas are busy, while residential and hillside districts can be very calm. The municipality's overall experience is too varied for a high score.
Privacy can be limited in much of Marbella, especially in central districts, beachside zones and established resort areas where homes sit close to neighbours and activity stays high for much of the year. More secluded options do exist in select residential and hillside settings, but overall the area tends to offer convenience and access over a strong sense of seclusion.
Rental demand is exceptionally strong in Marbella thanks to its year-round population, large international community and broad appeal across both permanent residents and second-home users. Demand is supported by beaches, golf, marinas, shopping and a wide service base, with activity extending well beyond peak summer in many parts of the municipality.
Marbella offers exceptional depth across neighbourhood restaurants, beach dining, international cuisine and special-occasion venues throughout the year.
Golf, padel, tennis, gyms, water sports and specialist clubs make Marbella one of the strongest all-round sports locations on the coast.
Marbella scores lower on value for money because prices are high by Costa del Sol standards, with buyers often paying a premium for the name, location and lifestyle. It still offers broad choice and strong day-to-day appeal, but budget-conscious buyers will usually find better space or specification elsewhere for the same spend.
Marbella scores lower for village lifestyle because it functions more as a substantial town and resort municipality than a close-knit village setting. While pockets such as the Old Town offer character, walkable streets and a more traditional feel, much of the area is defined by larger residential zones, busy roads, visitor activity and a broader urban rhythm.
Marbella scores highly for walkability in its central and seafront areas, where shops, restaurants, beaches and everyday services are close at hand. Walkability becomes more limited in spread-out residential zones and golf urbanisations, where a car is often more practical for regular errands.
The promenade and old town support everyday walking, while La Concha and nearby mountain routes add serious hiking close to the urban area.
We love Marbella because it offers something very few places can. Yes, it has the glamour and the reputation, but beyond that you'll find established neighbourhoods, excellent schools, beautiful beaches, outstanding restaurants and a lifestyle that works just as well year round as it does in the summer. Marbella has a confidence about it that comes from decades of attracting people from all over the world, and in our opinion, it remains one of Europe's most desirable places to live.
