Marina de la Duquesa: A Seaside Gem on the Costa del Sol

Marina de la Duquesa, developed in the early 2000s by the renowned Ros y Falcon, enjoys one of the most enviable spots along the Duquesa beachfront promenade. Positioned just east of the port, this complex offers easy access to all the charm and beauty of the Puerto de la Duquesa Marina and the nearby village of Sabinillas, with direct entry to Duquesa Beach.

A Closer Look at Marina de la Duquesa

Built in 2002, Marina de la Duquesa remains the largest development in the port area. This community features a variety of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses, many with sweeping views of the sea or overlooking beautifully landscaped communal areas and pools.

The amenities at Marina de la Duquesa are thoughtfully designed for residents’ comfort and convenience. Highlights include four communal pools, lush gardens, padel courts, round-the-clock security, and an on-site management office. Each property comes with private underground parking, and some also offer additional storage options.

Inside, these apartments have stood the test of time with high-quality materials like marble flooring and elegant bathroom fixtures. Now, 20 years on, some owners have chosen to modernize their homes with renovations, enhancing the timeless appeal of this development.

What truly sets Marina de la Duquesa apart, however, is its outstanding location. With direct access to the Duquesa promenade and beach, and within walking distance of Puerto de la Duquesa Marina, the village of El Castillo, and all essential amenities, everything is conveniently close at hand.

Where Exactly is Marina de la Duquesa?

Nestled along the quieter western coast of the Costa del Sol in the Malaga Province, and close to the Cadiz Province border, Marina de la Duquesa offers a serene setting away from the busier parts of the region. Development in this area picked up in the late 1990s and early 2000s before slowing down with the global recession. Since resuming about five years ago, the area has remained low-rise, green, and peaceful, preserving its charm.

The surrounding community is friendly and diverse, attracting full-time residents from various cultures. It also serves as a popular residential area for workers commuting to Gibraltar.

Just a short drive from Marina de la Duquesa is Estepona, a vibrant Spanish town with a population of around 76,000. Known for its historic town centre, Estepona is filled with boutiques, restaurants, and cafés. To the west lies Sotogrande, a destination renowned for its marina and extensive sports facilities. Closer to Marina de la Duquesa, you’ll find Sabinillas, a traditional Spanish coastal town with essential amenities such as banks, supermarkets, and a health centre. The nearby village of Manilva and the Roman hamlet of Castillos add further cultural and historical interest to the area, both just minutes away along the promenade.
