The emphasis is on move-in ready comfort, with the complex's construction phase itself being secondary to the apartment's current condition.

Points of Attention

It suits individuals or couples who desire a 'lock-up and go' property for holidays, or investors looking to acquire a ready-to-rent-out unit.

It also provides a practical starting point for those exploring the region for a potential move, allowing them to experience the local environment without immediate renovation or furnishing costs.

Build Quality & Finishing

New, soundproof panoramic windows enhance living quality and reduce ambient noise while framing views of the mountains and town. The bathroom features high-quality finishes, including a wall-hung toilet and efficient ventilation. The kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, including a dishwasher and a washer/dryer combo. Designer furniture, such as a sofa bed, maximizes usable space.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The apartment is offered from €199,900, representing an entry-level price for a recently renovated studio in a Costa del Sol coastal location.

Regional Comparison

The apartment in Benalmádena, listed from €199,900, positions itself in the entry-level segment for renovated properties on the Costa del Sol. Compared to Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €219,950) and Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), this property offers a slightly lower entry price, which can be attractive to budget-conscious buyers or investors. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000) is clearly in a higher price bracket. The studio layout of the Benalmádena apartment, at 26 m², distinguishes it from projects that typically offer larger apartments or villas. The location in an urban area with amenities within walking distance is a common feature on the Costa del Sol, but the specific proximity to multiple beaches and Málaga Airport is a distinctive advantage. Potential buyers should consider the compact nature of the living space, which differs from the potentially more spacious options in the comparable projects mentioned.
