This key-ready apartment is situated in the Los Arqueros urbanisation near Benahavís on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 124 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, positioned on a middle floor with a south-east orientation and views over the Los Arqueros Golf Course. Completed in 2005, the residence forms part of a maintained community with four communal pools and underground parking for one car. The asking price is €550,000 as a fixed amount for the existing home. Marbella lies approximately 11 km away as the crow flies, while Málaga and its airport are within practical driving distance for international owners.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this €550,000 resale apartment occupies a distinct segment from the new-build alternatives recorded in the region. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those projects offer new construction and modern specifications at lower entry prices, generally further from the golf-front positions that define Benahavís. This apartment competes on different terms: an established frontline golf location, ready occupancy, full furnishing and community facilities that are already built and in use, rather than planned. Buyers weighing these options face a clear trade-off. New-build projects provide contemporary energy performance, developer payment structures and warranty coverage, but involve construction timelines and, in some cases, communities still under development. A 2005 resale home in a mature urbanisation offers immediate certainty about the finished environment, the established neighbours and the actual condition of grounds and pools, at the cost of a construction period twenty years old and installations that may require review. Locationally, the Benahavís golf corridor carries a different character from Torre del Mar on the eastern side of Málaga or the growth areas of Estepona: quieter, greener and oriented around golf and low-density residence rather than beachside density. Marbella's market, 11 km away, anchors price levels in the wider area, and annual housing transactions of roughly 800 in the local area point to an active resale market with regular turnover. Median provincial income of €16,450 provides context for local purchasing power, though international buyers operate on different budgets. For buyers whose priority is golf views, established community life and immediate usability, this property's fixed price reflects its position; for buyers prioritising new construction at a lower entry point, the eastern and Estepona alternatives remain the natural comparison.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands within the Los Arqueros urbanisation, a frontline golf setting in the Benahavís municipality. The area combines a residential character with proximity to Marbella, roughly 11 km away in a straight line. Distances to beaches, shops and transport are measured directly; actual road routes can be longer due to the hilly terrain typical of this part of the Costa del Sol.
The home provides three bedrooms including a master suite, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes and a private terrace opening from the living area. Air conditioning covers both hot and cold settings. The urbanisation includes a lift, four communal pools and WiFi readiness. These features support year-round residence as well as seasonal use by a household or visiting guests.
This is an existing home completed in 2005, not a new-build development. Construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be transferred in its current finished condition. Delivery dates for existing properties depend on the purchase process and notary scheduling, and any timeline stated is always indicative rather than guaranteed.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the urbanisation. Parking covers one underground space plus street parking, with no second garage place listed. No private garden is recorded, and the stated features do not mention underfloor heating, a fireplace or a storage room. Buyers should verify community fees and any planned works independently.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a second home on the Costa del Sol with low setup effort benefits from the key-ready condition, full furnishing and fitted kitchen; the home can be used within weeks of completion of the purchase. Households needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms for family holidays or extended stays will find the layout adequate without paying for excess square metres. Golf-oriented buyers place direct value on the frontline position and the view over the Los Arqueros course, which shapes both daily use and the character of the terrace. Long-stay or permanent residents benefit from the hot and cold air conditioning, the lift and the community pools, though they should factor the need for a car into daily routines. Buyers prioritising walkable urban life, a private pool or a private garden fall outside this property's profile, and are better served elsewhere. Investors comparing options should note that resale homes in maintained golf urbanisations tend to appeal to tenants seeking longer winter stays, but rental performance depends on licensing, community rules and management, none of which are confirmed in the available data. Overall, the property fits buyers who value quiet, views and golf proximity over beachside density and who accept a short drive for shops, schools and the beach.
The apartment dates from 2005 and is recorded as being in excellent condition, a claim that should be verified during a viewing but which is supported by the listed features. The kitchen is fully fitted with wooden cabinetry visible in the available photography, and the bathrooms show a modern double-sink arrangement. Each bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, which adds practical storage without reducing floor space. Climate control consists of air conditioning units covering both heating and cooling, a common and effective solution for the Andalusian climate where average monthly temperatures range from 12 to 27°C. The property is sold fully furnished, including the visible kitchen and bathroom installations. Technical features include a lift serving the building, WiFi readiness and a private terrace accessible from the living area. Windows and glazing specifications are not stated in the data, and buyers relying on winter use should assess insulation performance during a visit. Parking is arranged underground for one car, which protects the vehicle from sun and heat, supplemented by street parking for a second vehicle or guests. Community facilities comprise four swimming pools shared within the urbanisation, which distributes maintenance across the community rather than the individual owner. As with any resale home from this period, an independent technical inspection is a reasonable step to confirm the condition of installations, plumbing and the building's communal structures before purchase.
The asking price is €550,000, fixed, for the existing apartment with 124 m² of living space, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. This is not a price-list project; the amount applies to this specific property in its current finished and furnished state. Within the wider region, new-build apartments are marketed from roughly €205,000 in Mijas and from €321,000 in Estepona, which places this resale home at a higher level consistent with its golf-front position and included furnishings. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process. Buyers should budget separately for transfer tax, notary costs and community fees.
Daily life at Los Arqueros centres on the golf course and the rhythm of a residential urbanisation above the coast. The apartment's south-east orientation means the terrace and living spaces receive morning and midday sun, with the afternoon light moving across the fairways and rolling hills beyond. Mornings can begin on the private terrace overlooking the greens, followed by a short walk to one of the four communal pools within the community. The setting is quiet by nature: frontline golf urbanisations experience little through-traffic, and the nearest neighbours are other residents rather than shops or bars. For groceries, dining and services, residents typically drive down towards Benahavís village, San Pedro de Alcántara or Marbella, so a car is a practical necessity rather than an option. Within a two-kilometre radius the data records a substantial concentration of amenities, including restaurants, pharmacies, banks and cafés, though reaching them involves short drives along local roads. The gradient towards the coast is gentle at 1.4 per cent on average, but the urbanisation sits within hilly terrain, so some walks inside the community involve inclines. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout accommodates a family, a couple with regular guests, or owners who want a dedicated work or hobby room. The apartment is delivered fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, which lowers the practical threshold for buyers who want to use the home quickly, whether for holidays or as a permanent base on the Costa del Sol.
The surroundings combine residential calm with practical accessibility. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data records 98 restaurants, 117 pharmacies, 37 banks, 45 cafés and 16 dentists, an unusually complete amenity base that reduces the friction of daily errands, though reaching them involves short drives given the hillside setting. One primary school lies within the area, which matters for families considering longer stays, while secondary education would require travel towards Marbella or Benahavís. Public transport is present with five lines and 50 stops in the wider area, and train stations appear within a few kilometres, yet the dispersed geography means a car remains the primary mode of transport for most residents. The nearest beach, Playa de San Andrés, lies 1.7 km away in a straight line, with the practical route longer due to the terrain. Sports facilities near the recorded area include boxing and football venues, while golfers have the Los Arqueros course at the doorstep and further courses within driving distance. The elevation of 23 metres above sea level keeps the home close to sea level, avoiding the temperature extremes of higher inland positions. Annual housing transactions of roughly 800 in the area indicate an active local market with regular resale liquidity, a relevant factor for buyers considering eventual resale. The quiet character of a golf urbanisation persists year-round, including outside the summer season, when many coastal districts empty out.
The map shows the apartment's position within the Los Arqueros urbanisation relative to the golf course, the coast and the road network towards Benahavís, San Pedro and Marbella. Straight-line distances marked for beaches, golf courses and transport are indicative; actual routes through the hillside terrain are longer. The map helps assess drive times for daily errands and airport access.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Arqueros occupies a defined position within the Benahavís municipality, one of the most established residential areas between Marbella and Estepona on the western Costa del Sol. Marbella, with approximately 148,000 inhabitants, lies 11 km away in a straight line and functions as the regional centre for shopping, healthcare and culture. Málaga, at 57 km, connects the area to the provincial capital and its airport. Compared with denser coastal zones, this golf urbanisation trades beachside proximity for quiet, green surroundings and views, a trade-off typical of the Benahavís golf corridor.
Access to the wider region is straightforward by car. Marbella lies 11 km away as the crow flies and Málaga 57 km, with road distances somewhat longer; both cities provide full urban services, hospitals and cultural facilities. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is recorded at approximately 6 km straight-line from the reference area, making flights highly accessible, while Gibraltar Airport lies about 102 km away as an alternative. The nearest beach is Playa de San Andrés at 1.7 km direct distance, with Playa de la Misericordia at 2.4 km, so a car trip of a few minutes reaches the coast. Golf options include Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 6.7 km and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 7.3 km straight-line from the reference points, in addition to the adjacent Los Arqueros course. Train stations within the recorded area sit within one kilometre, and five public transport lines with 50 stops operate nearby, though service frequency in residential zones is limited. For daily needs, the density of pharmacies, banks and restaurants within two kilometres means that errands can be grouped efficiently. Electric-vehicle charging points appear at 2.5 km and beyond, supporting owners of EVs. All distances are straight-line figures; actual driving distances and times are longer.

The climate data indicates an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 27°C in summer. This pattern supports outdoor use of the terrace and the communal pools for most of the year, not only in high season. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea water reaches at least 20°C, framing beach visits between late spring and early autumn. The elevation of 23 metres keeps the apartment near sea level, which moderates temperatures compared with inland Andalusia, where summer heat is more intense. The average gradient towards the beach is a gentle 1.4 per cent, although the urbanisation itself sits in rolling terrain, so local walks can involve slopes. The setting close to forest, as noted in the property features, adds green surroundings and walking options directly from the urbanisation. Sunlight is abundant along this stretch of coast, and the apartment's south-east orientation captures the morning and midday hours on the terrace, with shade arriving naturally in the late afternoon. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches that suit low-maintenance ownership and extended off-season occupation.

The coastal strip offers several beaches within short direct distances: Playa de San Andrés at 1.7 km, Playa de la Misericordia at 2.4 km and Playa Sacaba at 3.6 km straight-line. Blue Flag status is not specified in the data, so buyers should verify current designations with the municipality. Beyond the beach, recreation centres on golf: the apartment overlooks the Los Arqueros course, and additional courses such as Club de Golf Málaga Parador (6.7 km) and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (7.3 km) broaden the options for regular players. Marinas at 3.0 and 3.2 km direct distance include IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo, providing moorings, waterfront dining and sailing activities. Sports halls, a boxing club and football pitches appear within half a kilometre of the reference points, useful for families with children in training. Several viewpoints within three to four kilometres offer walking destinations with coastal panoramas. Together these options mean that days off can be filled with golf, swimming in the four community pools, coastal walks or excursions to Marbella, roughly 11 km away, without long travel planning.
