3 Bedroom Penthouse in Marbella Golden Mile, Marbella

Some homes just have this almost magnetic pull when you walk up and honestly this three bedroom duplex penthouse in Marina Mariola right on Marbella's Golden Mile promenade is exactly that sort of place. The salty air catches you before you even make it to the door and by the time you step inside, you can't help but slow down a little, just to soak in that endless Mediterranean view. There's something about the light moving across the water that makes all the noise drop away and suddenly the only thing you notice is the sea stretching out beyond the terrace.

The first thing you'll probably feel when you come in is that everything here actually makes sense. You can really tell the owners loved this penthouse. Every corner and every updated surface feels intentional but not precious. The whole place had a renovation just a few years ago so nothing is tired or dated, but nothing feels too showy either. Sometimes in Marbella you see those luxury penthouses where you're almost afraid to touch the cabinets but here you just want to invite friends in for coffee and toast. The open plan kitchen lines up perfectly with the living room and terrace so you never feel boxed in. The marble countertops are cool to the touch and the appliances blend straight into the background so you might not spot them at first, but everything is there if you actually like to cook. I could picture slow weekend breakfasts with the windows wide open and the only sound is the breeze rolling through and waves somewhere down below.

The living area just flows outside. It really is just a few steps to the main sea view terrace and you get that feeling like the inside and outside are just parts of the same room. I stood by the railing for ages just watching the water change colors. If you like to have people around it all feels easy you don't lose anyone to a back room. But it's also comfortable enough that you could curl up quietly in a corner and read without anyone bothering you.

There are two bedrooms on this main level and both are surprisingly peaceful at night even though you're right above the famous Marbella promenade. If you like getting up early and watching first light on the water this is a perfect spot for that. One bedroom even has its own bathroom that opens onto the terrace and every time I walked past it I caught a bit of the ocean air drifting through. You really do start to forget you're living right in the middle of Marbella. The shops are all around. The restaurants and that iconic Marbella beach are never more than a few minutes away on foot.

Upstairs is almost made for relaxing. The top floor is dedicated just to taking it easy — there's a smaller living space that feels perfect for a quiet afternoon and another bedroom that opens right onto a private terrace. This place is special because you get your own small pool and honestly it's a dream come true for anyone who likes that first early swim before Marbella wakes up. The terrace is quiet and big enough that you could work from here, or just stretch out on loungers with lunch. I stood there one morning with only the sea and a few birds for company and lost track of time.

You get two parking places tucked away below plus more storage so beach days or city days both just work. The building itself is pretty great too. The staff are genuinely friendly and security is always around but never feels intrusive. The gym and two big pools look right out at the water. There's a Jacuzzi if you need it and a proper sauna for winter.

And the best thing really — you get private access straight to the promenade so sometimes you see kids on bikes or families wandering out for ice cream while you're just steps from home. This stretch of the Golden Mile feels alive right up to the front door. Good coffee, local bars, shopping when you need it, all within reach. Sometimes penthouses feel a bit remote but not this one.

The only way you'll really know if it fits is to come and stand out on that terrace for yourself. If you have questions or just want to walk through it one day let me know. At LuxuryProperty.com we try to make your next move as easy as possible.
