This two-bedroom townhouse is situated in La Capellania, a residential district of Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol. The property dates from 1996 and offers 69 square metres of living space across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a private terrace of roughly 20 square metres. The asking price is fixed at €325,000. The home sits in a gated complex with a communal swimming pool and communal garden. Beaches such as Playa de Torreblanca lie about 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and Malaga airport is roughly 13 km from the address.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Capellania is an urbanised neighbourhood of Benalmadena located near the coast, with daily amenities within walking distance. A supermarket lies 818 metres away and a pharmacy 411 metres. The train stations of Torremuelle and Carvajal are 1.6 and 3.2 km away respectively, giving rail access along the coast towards Malaga and Fuengirola.
The house combines two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and heat-pump heating. The private terrace of about 20 square metres and the communal pool cover outdoor living needs, while WiFi, a washing machine and household appliances are already installed, allowing immediate occupation.
This is a resale property completed in 1996, not a new-build development. The construction status is key-ready and the condition is recorded as good. Furniture is available optionally. There is no developer delivery schedule; the transfer can proceed through the standard resale purchase process once a buyer and seller agree terms.
The property offers no private pool, no private garden and no private parking is listed in the data. Living space is 69 square metres with two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. The home stands in a gated complex with shared outdoor facilities, so outdoor space depends partly on communal arrangements. No plot size or storage room is recorded.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a compact second home near the coast will find the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and walking-distance amenities practical for part-year residence. Buyers who want a move-in-ready home without construction risk benefit from the 1996 build being complete, equipped and in recorded good condition. Investors may note the rental precedent: the home is currently fitted out for holiday letting, with beaches at 1.6 to 2.7 km, a station within walking range and Malaga airport roughly 13 km away as the crow flies. Those targeting tourist demand in the Benalmadena-Fuengirola corridor can take over an operating setup directly. Retirees or downsizers who prefer not to drive daily can manage groceries, pharmacy visits and cafe outings on foot, while the train line covers trips to Fuengirola or Malaga centre. The communal pool removes seasonal maintenance from the owner's tasks. The property suits less well those needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool, a private garden or dedicated parking. Households planning full-time remote work should verify internet capacity in the complex, although WiFi is already installed. For buyers whose priority is space rather than location, larger homes exist further inland at similar budgets.
The interior images show a functional finish consistent with a 1996 build that has been maintained and updated. The kitchen carries wooden cabinet fronts with an induction hob and integrated appliances, including a washing machine placed in the bathroom area. Bedrooms include large fitted wardrobes, and the bathroom is finished with a shower and practical tiling. The dining area sits beside the kitchenette and opens towards the balcony, where the sea view is visible from inside. Climate systems are present on two fronts: air conditioning units and heat-pump heating, which together cover both summer cooling and winter warmth. This pairing matters on the Costa del Sol, where winter nights at 274 metres elevation can fall below comfortable levels without heating. The private terrace of roughly 20 square metres is furnished and connected to a garden area, giving outdoor space independent of the communal zones. Windows and doors appear to be original to subsequent renovations rather than a full contemporary refit, so buyers inspecting on site should assess glazing quality and insulation against current standards. The complex itself provides a gated entrance, communal swimming pool and shared garden. No data is available on recent community investments such as facade works or pool renovation, and the technical condition of shared elements is best verified through the community administration during due diligence.
The asking price is €325,000 and is a fixed price for this existing home, not a starting price within a range. The property is a resale from 1996 in key-ready condition, with furniture available by negotiation. Within the wider region, comparable new-build projects list starting prices between €205,000 and €269,950, which places this home at the upper side of that band; unlike those developments, this is a completed property with an established complex, communal pool and immediate availability. Interested parties can request current availability and viewing arrangements directly.
This townhouse suits a household that values compact, low-maintenance living near the coast. The 69 square metre layout holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a dining area adjoining the kitchenette and a balcony offering a sea view. The roughly 20 square metre private terrace functions as the main outdoor room, fitted with garden furniture and suitable for meals outside across much of the year thanks to the regional climate. Daily life here is organised around walking and short trips. The supermarket at 818 metres and the pharmacy at 411 metres make routine shopping possible on foot, and the wider area records fifteen restaurants, three cafes, two banks and three pharmacies within two kilometres. A school also lies within that radius. For longer journeys, the Cercanias stations at Torremuelle and Carvajal sit 1.6 and 3.2 km away, and five bus lines with fifty stops serve the locality. The house forms part of a gated complex with a communal swimming pool and shared garden, which covers summer use without the upkeep of a private pool. Air conditioning and heat-pump heating regulate indoor temperature year round. The property is currently equipped for residential use, including a washing machine and kitchen appliances, and could also continue as a rental unit given its location near beaches and transport links. Benalmadena town lies within short reach, and Malaga is about 20 km away in a straight line.
Life in La Capellania revolves around a residential urbanisation within Benalmadena, positioned between the coast road and the hillside. The neighbourhood records 5,716 inhabitants, which supports a stable local fabric rather than a purely seasonal one. Within two kilometres, the data lists fifteen restaurants, one school, three pharmacies, two banks and three cafes, which covers most daily needs without a car. The nearest beach, Playa de Torreblanca, lies 1.6 km away in a straight line, with Playa Bonita and Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 2.6 to 2.7 km. An electric vehicle charging point stands 473 metres from the address, useful for owners or rental guests driving electric cars. A hospital is 3.4 km away. Transport is a strong point of this location. The Torremuelle station at 1.6 km connects to the Malaga-Fuengirola commuter line, and five public transport lines with fifty stops serve the area. Malaga airport sits roughly 13 km away by straight-line measure, so flight noise and access corridors may be noticeable at times; this is inherent to the location and worth checking on site. Malaga city itself is 20 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella 30 km.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Capellania occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, between the large urban centre of Malaga (20 km straight-line) and the resort towns of Marbella (30 km). Fuengirola lies directly west along the coast, and Benalmadena Costa with its marina and beaches sits below the neighbourhood. The location benefits from proximity to Malaga airport at roughly 13 km, which is closer than most Marbella or Estepona addresses, and from the commuter rail line running along the coast. This positions the property in the well-connected central band of the Costa del Sol rather than in its quieter western or eastern extremes.
Key distances from the property, measured in a straight line: Playa de Torreblanca 1.6 km, Playa Bonita 2.7 km, supermarket 818 m, pharmacy 411 m, hospital 3.4 km and Malaga airport 13 km. Road distances will be longer than these direct figures. Golf options surround the area: Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt at 3.7 km, Campo Los Lagos at 7.5 km and Mijas Golf at 7.7 km. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola and Puerto Deportivo de Benalmadena, lie 5.2 and 7.0 km away respectively, offering berths, dining and waterfront walks. Public transport includes five bus lines and fifty stops locally, plus the rail stations at Torremuelle (1.6 km) and Carvajal (3.2 km). By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 corridors are reachable within minutes, linking Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Malaga. An EV charging point 473 metres away supports electric mobility.

The location stands at 274 metres above sea level on the lower slopes behind the Benalmadena coast, which explains the sea views from the balcony. The average annual temperature is 17.0 degrees Celsius, a figure moderated by the Mediterranean. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20 degrees, lasts about four months, concentrating beach use in the warmer half of the year. The elevation brings a practical consequence: the walk to the beach involves a descent of roughly 270 metres, which is manageable by car or the local bus but forms genuine exercise on foot. In return, the height offers cooler evenings in summer than the seafront itself. Surrounding greenery includes the golf courses inland and the coastal strand along Torreblanca and Carvajal. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches from late spring through autumn. Local public holidays number 32 per year, which regularly affects shop opening hours in the wider municipality.

Three beaches lie within 2.7 km of the address. Playa de Torreblanca is closest at 1.6 km straight-line, followed by Playa Bonita and Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 2.6 and 2.7 km. These are urban sand beaches served by the beachfront chiringuitos typical of the Fuengirola-Benalmadena stretch. Golfers can reach three courses: the Pitch & Putt in Benalmadena at 3.7 km for short practice, and the full courses of Los Lagos (7.5 km) and Mijas Golf (7.7 km), both part of the established Mijas golf cluster. Sports facilities nearby include Club Hockey Benalmadena at 1.2 km, Karting Mijas at 3.2 km and the Polideportivo Juan Roa Sanchez municipal sports centre at 3.5 km. For water-based leisure, the marinas at Fuengirola (5.2 km) and Benalmadena (7.0 km) provide sailing, excursions and waterfront dining. The communal pool inside the complex covers daily swimming without travelling to the coast, extending water use beyond the four-month sea season.

Set against current new-build offerings in the region, this resale townhouse occupies a distinct position. Comparable projects include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000). Those developments offer new construction with modern specifications and, in most cases, longer delivery timelines and list prices that represent starting points rather than final figures. This Benalmadena property, by contrast, is finished, equipped and available now, at €325,000 as a fixed price. Location is the differentiating factor. Torre del Mar and Estepona sit respectively east and far west of Malaga, both requiring longer airport transfers than the roughly 13 km measured here. Lantana Residencial in Mijas is closer in geography, but Mijas spans both hillside and coastal zones with wide variation in accessibility. La Capellania combines hillside sea views with a railway station 1.6 km away and walking-distance shopping, a combination that new-build projects in this price band rarely match. Age is the trade-off. A 1996 build carries older infrastructure, glazing, wiring and plumbing, than a 2025 delivery, and buyers should factor potential modernisation into their total budget. Against that stands a mature complex with an established community and no construction risk. For buyers prioritising immediate use, rental continuity or rail access, the resale profile competes well; for those wanting warranty-backed new construction and contemporary energy performance, the new-build alternatives remain the more straightforward route.
