Apartment

A refined two-bedroom apartment in Puerto Banús offering 88 m² of carefully composed single-level living, with open-plan interiors, a designer kitchen, and direct marina-facing views from a private terrace.

You walk in and the question answers itself, why look further when everything sits exactly where it should? The living space runs clean and uninterrupted, kitchen, dining and lounge aligned without friction, finished in warm timber and soft neutral tones that don’t compete with what’s outside. Full-height doors draw the marina in; boats, water, movement. Two bedrooms sit quietly behind, both considered, the principal with a calm, hotel-like feel rather than anything overstated. Bathrooms follow the same logic: precise, minimal, properly executed. It’s not trying to impress, it just works.

And outside? Puerto Banús does what it does: restaurants at your feet, cafés that spill into the street, morning walks along the marina turning into late lunches without planning them. You’re not driving anywhere unless you choose to. This is for someone who prefers access over isolation, who understands that convenience, when done well, becomes a form of luxury.

Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Málaga – Calle Gordon

Located just steps from the historic center of Málaga, Calle Gordon is a charming building being transformed into a boutique-style rental asset with an AP (Aparthotel) license, offering an excellent investment opportunity in one of Spain’s most dynamic urban markets.

The project will consist of four independent units:

One spacious 3-bedroom apartment on the ground floor

Three one-bedroom apartments on the first floor

A beautiful Andalusian patio at the heart of the building, creating a calm and authentic atmosphere for guests

While the original footprint is respected, the property is technically a completely new construction, including new foundations, a new roof, and entirely new electrical and plumbing systems, all built to modern standards of comfort, efficiency, and durability.

Situated on a quiet street within walking distance of Plaza de la Merced, Calle Larios, the Picasso Museum, and Málaga’s cultural and gastronomic highlights, the location combines peaceful residential living with immediate access to the city’s most desirable amenities.

Málaga continues to show strong and sustained growth in tourism, with increasing demand for high-quality, centrally located accommodation. Licensed aparthotel-style properties in the historic center remain limited, supporting strong occupancy and long-term value.

Income Potential

With professional management and an aparthotel-style operating model, the property is expected to generate approximately €200,000–€230,000 in gross annual rental income. The combination of multiple units, prime location, and AP license provides consistent year-round demand and a stable, secure investment profile.

This project offers a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing hospitality asset in Málaga’s historic center, combining strong cash flow, long-term appreciation, and operational flexibility in a well-established and growing market.

House

Hidden within the historic streets of central Málaga, this remarkable courtyard house captures a way of living that has shaped Mediterranean homes for centuries.
From the moment you enter, the house reveals its character: a generous open-air patio framed by elegant stone columns and wooden beams, where sunlight pours in from above and the atmosphere feels peaceful and timeless. Homes organised around a central courtyard have been part of Mediterranean life since antiquity, from the Roman domus to the patio houses of Andalusia.
This is not a palace but something rarer — a true home shaped by history. Original tiles, handcrafted details and beautiful wooden doors and windows have been carefully preserved throughout. The courtyard design also creates a naturally calm interior climate, a quality that has made this architectural tradition so enduring in Mediterranean cities.
The property offers 416 m² distributed across three levels organised around the central patio.
The ground floor, centred around the courtyard, includes several bedrooms, a bathroom and generous interior spaces. It has previously functioned as an art gallery and could easily accommodate a creative studio, showroom or other professional activity, while a separate entrance allows the upper floors to remain private.
The first floor hosts the main living spaces, including a bright living and dining room, a kitchen overlooking the courtyard and enjoys abundant light from the open patio. The principal bedroom with its private bathroom is also located on this level.
The second floor offers three further bedrooms and another bathroom. From here, large glass doors open directly onto the private roof terrace, a peaceful retreat above the historic rooftops of the city.
With eight bedrooms and three bathrooms, the house offers exceptional flexibility as a spacious family home, a creative residence or a distinctive investment opportunity.
A home where history is not simply preserved but lived, and where the courtyard remains the quiet heart of daily life in Málaga.
