Penthouse for sale in Aloha Hill Club

A poolside restaurant, a spa and a shuttle to the beach and Puerto Banus come with Aloha Hill Club, the gated golf-valley community in Nueva Andalucia where Aloha Hill 101, a south-facing duplex penthouse, occupies the top floor.

The property has 129 m2 of interior space and a 64 m2 terrace, with three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and a guest toilet. The main level is open-plan: kitchen, dining and living connect in one bright space, with bespoke carpentry, a central island, premium appliances and a wall-mounted fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto the terrace, where a lounge and barbecue area look toward the sea on one side and the mountains on the other.

The principal suite reads as its own retreat, with sleeping, dressing and bathing areas flowing together in one open layout. A separate laundry room, full air conditioning and heating, electric underfloor heating in the wet areas, a smart entrance lock and home automation cover the practical side. One parking space is included.

Built in 2012 and comprising 140 units, the community runs like a small resort: an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, gym, spa, kids' club and wine cellar. Golf courses surround the area, and Puerto Banus, the Golden Mile and Marbella's old town are a short drive.

What a buyer takes on here is the terrace, the views and a community with amenities most villas don't offer: the interior, at 129 m2, is compact for the price point, and priced accordingly. It suits someone who lives elsewhere part of the year and wants to close the door and leave without a second thought.
