3 Bedroom Penthouse Duplex in Puerto Banús
Description
Situated within the exclusive gated community of Los Jardines de las Fuentes, this beautifully renovated residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey home in one of Marbella's most desirable beachside locations. Directly instructed by the owner, we are delighted to offer what is undoubtedly one of the finest apartments currently available within this charming boutique development.
Set within a peaceful community of just 38 apartments, the property enjoys a highly sought-after end position, offering a level of privacy rarely found so close to the beach. Overlooking a protected natural area rather than neighbouring buildings, it benefits from open green views, abundant natural light, and a tranquil atmosphere free from the noise and bustle often associated with coastal living.
Completely transformed through an extensive renovation carried out to the highest standards, the apartment has been meticulously redesigned to combine timeless elegance with modern functionality. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, creating a sophisticated home equally suited to year-round living, luxurious holidays, or as a secure lock-up-and-leave retreat.
The bright open-plan living and dining area forms the heart of the home, flowing seamlessly onto the generous covered terrace where residents can enjoy peaceful views across the surrounding greenery. The designer kitchen, with Gaggenau appliances, has been finished to an exceptional standard with bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances and intelligent storage solutions, creating a space that is as practical as it is visually striking.
The property offers three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring complete comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. In addition, a stylish guest cloakroom provides further convenience when entertaining.
No expense has been spared throughout the renovation. The apartment has been pre-installed for a comprehensive range of smart home technologies, including electric curtains, an integrated sound system and advanced home automation capabilities, allowing future owners to personalise the property effortlessly to suit their lifestyle requirements.
High-quality finishes, bespoke joinery and carefully selected materials elevate the sense of refinement throughout the residence. Residents of Los Jardines de las Fuentes enjoy the security and convenience of a gated development whilst remaining within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, sports facilities and all essential amenities.
Opportunities to acquire a property offering this combination of location, privacy and specification have become increasingly rare. The apartment also benefits from a private parking space equipped with an electric sensor-controlled security barrier, providing additional peace of mind and ease of access.
Representing exceptional value in today's Marbella market, this is a genuinely rare opportunity to purchase a fully renovated, move-in-ready home in a privileged beachside setting at an incredibly realistic price. Early viewing is strongly recommended, as properties of this calibre, in such a unique position, seldom remain available for long.

Puerto Banús
Puerto Banús is Marbella’s best-known marina district: polished, busy, image-conscious and built around boats, designer storefronts and people-watching. It is one of the Costa del Sol’s most recognisable lifestyle addresses, but it is not subtle. Buyers usually come here for convenience, status, walkable marina living and strong holiday-home usability rather than privacy, authenticity or calm.
Life in Puerto Banús is centred on the marina, the beachfront promenade and a dense cluster of apartments, hotels and commercial activity. You can do a lot on foot, and that ease is a major part of the appeal. The mood is international and transient, with a steady flow of visitors alongside owners and seasonal residents. In peak periods it feels lively and crowded; out of season it is still active by Costa del Sol standards. This is a place for people who enjoy being in the middle of things, not tucked away from them.
Area scores
It is a straightforward Costa del Sol base with good road access to Málaga Airport by regional standards.
It delivers an urban-style, convenience-led lifestyle with constant activity, services and social buzz.
Beach access, seafront living and marina atmosphere are central to daily life here.
Families can use it well for convenience and beach access, but it is not the calmest family-focused setting.
It can work well year-round, especially for buyers who enjoy a busy and international environment.
It is well placed for the wider Marbella golf scene, though golf is not the core identity of Banús itself.
It strongly suits lock-up-and-leave use, short stays and lifestyle-led second-home ownership.
Few areas on the coast feel as consistently international and globally recognisable.
Its strong profile, recognisable name and broad international appeal support long-term buyer interest.
There is a year-round base, but the overall feel is more international and transient than locally rooted.
Puerto Banús is one of the Costa del Sol’s best-known prestige addresses.
The marina is the defining feature and one of the area’s main reasons people buy here.
Puerto Banús is firmly coastal and marina-focused rather than inland or mountain-oriented.
Evenings are a major part of the area’s identity, especially around the marina and beachfront.
It offers beachside convenience, but it is not especially known for green space or family activity areas.
Its popularity, traffic and nightlife mean calm and quiet are not its strong points.
This is generally a denser, more social and more visible area than buyers seeking seclusion prefer.
The area is widely sought after for short stays and holiday use thanks to its location and reputation.
Dining choice is a major part of the area’s everyday lifestyle appeal.
There is broad access to leisure and sport nearby, though the area is not defined by sports facilities alone.
Prices often reflect the name, location and lifestyle status as much as space or character.
This is a polished marina district, not a traditional Andalusian village setting.
Many owners can walk to the marina, beach and plenty of day-to-evening amenities.
It works for seafront strolls, but it is not a standout base for scenic hiking or country walks.
Puerto Banús is one of those areas where the reputation arrives before you do. For some buyers, that is exactly the point: the marina setting, the polished front-line feel and the ability to step out into a busy, international scene without needing the car. If your version of the Costa del Sol involves strolling to the seafront, watching the world go by and keeping everything easy, Banús does that very well. The trade-off is that it can feel performative, crowded and short on privacy. This is not old Andalucía, and it is not trying to be. The housing mix leans heavily toward apartments and urbanisations around a commercial core, so the lifestyle is more about access and visibility than land
