5 exceptional duplex penthouses on the Costa del Sol
We present five of the finest duplex penthouses currently available on the Costa del Sol, where space, views, and rooftop living are anything but ordinary.
There’s something quite delightful and tastefully indulgent about a duplex penthouse in a prime location. On the Costa del Sol, it’s not just an extra level of space with more privacy, it’s jaw-dropping views of the landscape and exceptional terraces that begin to feel like a second home.
Right now, some of the most impressive duplex penthouses are on the market, each offering a distinct take on life at the top, from beachfront homes to elevated hillside positions.
On Marbella’s Golden Mile, just steps from Puerto Banús, this penthouse boasts a different scale.
Created by combining two properties, it offers over 800 m² of total space, with expansive interiors and multiple terraces opening towards the Mediterranean. The upper level transforms the home entirely, with private rooftop areas and heated pools that feel removed from the surrounding development.
It’s a clear example of how duplex penthouses in Marbella are increasingly positioned as an alternative to villas, rather than apartments.
In Magna Marbella, the elevated design is almost as impressive as the rooftop views.
This fully renovated duplex penthouse centres around its terrace, where a private pool, outdoor dining and lounge areas create a complete living space. From here, the vistas stretch over the Golf Valley and onto the sparkling Mediterranean beyond with La Concha mountain as the grand centre piece.
Above Marbella in Palo Alto, the setting changes entirely.
Sitting at one of the highest points of the development, this designer duplex offers uninterrupted panoramic views, floor-to-ceiling glass and open-plan interiors that draw the outside in, making the landscape part of the experience.
Just a 10 minute drive to Marbella town, the location is quieter, more private, and deliberately removed from the coastline, appealing to buyers looking for space and calm without losing proximity to all of the coast's best amenities.
Epic Marbella is one of the Golden Mile’s newest ultra-modern developments, bringing Fendi Casa design into a prime, central setting.
This duplex penthouse combines contemporary architecture with refined finishes, with a layout designed to maximise indoor-outdoor living. Generous terraces extend from the main living areas, creating a natural flow between interior and exterior spaces.
It reflects the direction of newer projects, where design, technology and comfort are integrated from the outset.
This list wouldn’t be complete without including a prime penthouse in Puente Romano. Perfectly positioned in the most sought after address on Marbella’s Golden Mile, this beautifully renovated duplex is ideal for those who value being close to everything. Set within Marina Puente Romano, it offers a rare sense of privacy despite sitting within one of Marbella’s most connected addresses.
Leaning into the classic appeal of the resort, the property is just moments from the beach, with everything within easy walking distance. The terraces open onto the greenery of the Andalusian gardens, with glimpses of the Mediterranean filtering through the trees.
