GARDEN APARTMENT WITH PANORAMIC SEA VIEWS | LA MAIRENA, MARBELLA La Mairena sits in the hills above Elviria at around 400 metres altitude, offering unobstructed views across the Mediterranean, the Bay of Marbella and, on clear days, the coast of Africa. It is one of the most sought-after addresses on the Costa del Sol — less than twenty minutes from Marbella centre and Puerto Banús, yet surrounded by cork oak woodland and genuine calm. Although it falls within the municipality of Ojén, La Mairena rises directly above Elviria, giving it the elevated position and sea views the area is known for while keeping it within easy reach of the coast. The apartment makes intelligent use of the natural slope of the terrain. The entrance sits on the first floor, while the living room opens directly to the garden at ground level, giving the property a feel closer to a private house than a conventional flat. Sea views are present from every main living space, without interruption. Three en-suite bedrooms provide complete independence for each occupant, whether in permanent residence or hosting guests. The living and dining room is generously proportioned and oriented towards the views, while a separate kitchen keeps cooking activities distinct from the living areas. The private garden is the defining feature of the property. Exclusively owned, it allows full enjoyment of the outdoor space in total privacy — breakfast with the sea in the background, shade in the afternoon under the surrounding Mediterranean vegetation. A terrace adds a further outdoor area at the same level as the main living space. The German School (Deutsche Schule Málaga) is within walking distance of the apartment — a real draw for international families seeking a continental curriculum without the daily school commute that defines life in many other areas. An assigned parking space within the community and a well-managed building complete an apartment that works equally well  as  a  permanent  home or  a  retreat  of genuine  quality  in  one  of the  most privileged  elevated positions  on  the  Costa del Sol.
