AB Properties -Design House Marbella- 3 mn de Puerto Banus Beach – Golden Mile – Tropical Garden and Pool Overview

First Impressions

Walking into AB Properties -Design House Marbella- 3 mn de Puerto Banus Beach – Golden Mile – Tropical Garden and Pool, you immediately notice this isn’t your typical hotel setup — it’s actually more like staying in someone’s beautifully designed home. The property sits in a quiet residential development called Los Naranjos, where whitewashed townhouses blend seamlessly with Mediterranean landscaping. What struck me first was how the tropical garden creates this peaceful bubble, even though you’re just minutes from all the action. The four-star rating feels spot-on here — it’s polished and thoughtful without trying too hard to impress.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about the location — you’re literally three minutes from Puerto Banús Beach, which means you can walk to some of the best beach clubs on the Costa del Sol without dealing with Marbella’s notorious summer traffic. The Golden Mile stretch puts you right between Marbella’s old town (about 10 minutes by car) and the glitzy marina scene of Puerto Banús. I found myself walking to the beach most mornings, then heading back to cool off by the pool during the hottest part of the day. The residential setting means it’s genuinely quiet at night, which couples seem to really appreciate — honestly, I can see why this place gets such high marks for romantic getaways.

The Space & Amenities

The apartment-style setup gives you way more space than a typical hotel room, and the design aesthetic hits that perfect balance between modern and Mediterranean. Each unit comes with a full kitchen, which I actually used more than expected — there’s something nice about making coffee on your own schedule or grabbing fresh ingredients from the local market. The tropical garden and pool area become the real heart of the property during the day. The pool isn’t huge, but it’s perfectly sized for the number of units, and those palm trees provide just enough shade for afternoon reading.

What Makes It Special

You know what really sets this place apart? It’s the combination of privacy and accessibility that’s hard to find in this area. Most places near Puerto Banús are either right in the thick of things (read: noisy) or so secluded you need a car for everything. Here, you get this residential calm but can still walk to beach clubs, restaurant, and shops when you want them. The design touches throughout feel intentional rather than generic — someone clearly put thought into making this feel like a home rather than just accommodation. Parking is included too, which saves you a headache if you’re planning day trips along the coast.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I totally get why couples rate this place so highly — it strikes that sweet spot between having your own private retreat and being close to everything Marbella offers. The apartment-style layout means you’re not cramped into a hotel room, and the garden setting provides a genuine escape from the sometimes overwhelming energy of the Costa del Sol. Whether you’re planning romantic dinners on your terrace or spontaneous beach days, this place adapts to whatever kind of trip you want to have.

Marbella hotels keep sunseekers close to chiringuitos, designer boutiques, and coastal hiking paths.
