Location

Located in Benalmádena Costa, within walking distance of the Mediterranean Sea, this penthouse blends urban convenience with a prime coastal position. The immediate proximity to amenities such as supermarkets (286 m) and pharmacies (176 m) ensures daily comfort, while the beaches are just a few hundred meters away.

Layout

This property suits those seeking a spacious home with multiple terraces and a solarium. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms provide privacy and comfort for family members or guests.

These recent modernizations ensure a contemporary finish and a high level of comfort. The property is ready for immediate occupancy, eliminating the need for further adjustments.

Points of Attention

This development does not feature a private pool; it includes a communal swimming pool. The property is situated in an urban environment, which may result in more ambient noise compared to rural areas. The slope towards the beach is 7.3%, which could be perceived as steep.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This property is suitable for a buyer who values space and an active lifestyle in an urban coastal environment. The penthouse is suitable for families, thanks to its proximity to schools (1 primary school within 2 km) and the presence of three bedrooms.

Couples seeking a comfortable second home with access to the beach, restaurants, and sports facilities will also feel at home here. The recently completed renovations and immediate availability make it an appealing option for those who wish to move or invest without significant delays. Its connectivity for work, with Málaga Airport approximately 8.8 km away and multiple train stations within 1.2 km, also supports the need for a strategic location.

Build Quality & Finishing

The property underwent an initial complete renovation in 2017, followed by a second comprehensive renovation in early 2025. This indicates a high standard of finishing with attention to modern aesthetics and functionality. The inclusion of air conditioning and double glazing in windows and doors ensures year-round thermal and acoustic comfort. The independent kitchen and the functional layout of the living and sleeping areas, including three bathrooms and multiple terraces, contribute to its practicality. While specific quality materials from the renovations are not detailed, the frequency of updates suggests an investment in durability and living comfort.

Regional Comparison

The project in Benalmádena Costa, with a starting price of €629,000 for a 211 m² penthouse duplex, positions itself in the higher segment of the market. Comparable projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona start from €219,950 to €259,000. These lower price points suggest smaller properties, possibly apartments rather than duplex penthouses, or locations that are less central or in a different state of repair. The larger cities in the region, such as Málaga with over 579,000 inhabitants and Marbella with approximately 148,000 inhabitants, offer a wider range of property options, but often at higher absolute price points, although price per square meter can vary. Benalmádena Costa, with its direct beach access and urban amenities, justifies its higher price by combining location, space, and recent renovations, differentiating it from more basic offerings elsewhere in the region.
