If you’re looking for a property to buy in Marbella but cannot be here to search and visit in person, then modern technology provides a range of options, including photo galleries, descriptions and specification lists as well as websites full of information. Or you could view one of the videos on our YouTube account, where we showcase villas, apartments and penthouses for sale in Marbella and surroundings.

This method of looking at properties is convenient and also informative, as it gives you a three-dimensional view of the homes in question, their setting, views and surroundings. There are videos of La Morera Playa, one of our signature projects, but in a recent one, MPDunne & Hamptons International founder and CEO, Mary Dunne, takes the viewer on a tour of one of the last remaining penthouses for sale at La Morera Playa – a rare frontline beach opportunity in Marbella.

‘Visit’ the property with Mary Dunne

Offering personal impressions as well as a walk-through that feels like a lifelike viewing of the home, Mary begins the visit not in the apartment, but outside the complex, as “the sense of arrival is a very important part of a property.” La Morera Playa is located in a quiet cul de sac that runs up to the beach, bordered on one side by luxurious villas and on the other by this exclusive complex of Marbella apartments and penthouses by the sea.

Mary approaches the gated entrance, provides the access code and the gate glides open, revealing both a driveway into the large underground area of storage rooms and carparks – of which the penthouses has two – and a lovely pathway that leads through lush landscaped greenery to the various low-rise buildings designed in Moorish-Mediterranean style by renowned architect Melvin Villaroël.

It’s a lovely way to arrive home, and stairs or lift take you up to the duplex penthouse on the second floor, where Mary opens the door to an elegant entrance hall that leads to a fully fitted kitchen with laundry, with open-plan views to a large dining and living room basking in natural light and sea views that are even more spectacular from the spacious terrace. The lower level also features a further two well—proportioned bathroom suites with lovely marble bathrooms.

Unbeatable sea views

If you enjoyed the sea views from the lower floor of the penthouse, then the top floor, with its airy master suite and luxurious bathroom, which flows on to a spectacular private terrace will take your breath away. Besides overlooking 10.000m2 of lush gardens and swimming pools, the views also take in the beaches immediately in front of La Morera Playa, and trace the shoreline along the bay to Marbella and all the way to Gibraltar, behind which the setting sun creates unforgettable vistas.

Take a moment to view the penthouse at La Morera Playa and you will want to come and see it in person!
