The building is complete, with communal pool, gym, lift, two parking spaces and a storage room included. Energy efficiency is rated A. Málaga Airport lies approximately 9.3 km away, and the Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel railway station is about 1 km from the site. The listed price is €499,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in the coastal zone of Benalmádena, between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, 12 km west of Málaga. Playa Malapesquera is 229 m away and Playa de Santa Ana 588 m. A supermarket sits 245 m from the entrance and a pharmacy 402 m. The Cercanías station at Arroyo de la Miel is 1 km away, and Málaga Airport 9.3 km.
The apartment functions as a full-year coastal residence: two bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, the kitchen is fully fitted, and air conditioning covers both hot and cold seasons. A lift, two parking spaces and a storage room address practical household needs. Communal facilities include a pool, gym and garden areas. The 20 m² private terrace extends living space towards the sea view.
The construction status is recorded as complete, with completion indicated for 2026. The building carries an A energy-efficiency label and is delivered unfurnished, with a fully fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes installed. Buyers should treat the completion date as indicative and verify the exact handover terms and remaining snagging items directly with the developer or agent.
The property offers no private pool, no private garden and no furnishings. Parking consists of two communal-building spaces rather than a private garage box. The orientation is south-east only, so afternoon sun on the terrace is limited. The slope towards the beach measures 8.2%, which affects walking routes. There is no mention of underfloor heating or a fireplace in the specification.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A couple relocating permanently to the coast who want to abandon daily car use will find supermarket, pharmacy, beach and rail station within a 1 km walk. Retirees seeking a manageable 94 m² layout with lift access, two bathrooms and on-site gym will find the specification aligned with year-round living. Buyers who rent out the property during absence benefit from the coastal-zone location, where hotel density (24 hotels, 11,154 beds) signals sustained seasonal demand for holiday accommodation. Families with one child can use the two-bedroom layout; the municipality counts 13 primary schools and 11 secondary schools, with 7 schools within 2 km of the property. Frequent flyers gain from the 9.3 km distance to Málaga Airport, reachable by rail via Arroyo de la Miel. The property fits less well for buyers seeking a detached villa, a private pool, large plots or a quiet inland-urbanisation setting: the environment is urban and tourist-adjacent, summer traffic is heavier, and the terrace faces south-east rather than west. Households wanting furnished turnkey delivery should note the unit comes unfurnished. Buyers with mobility considerations should account for the 8.2% slope between the building and the beach level. Overall, the profile suits a coastal apartment buyer prioritising walkability, energy rating and included parking over space and privacy.
The specification indicates a completed new-build delivery with an A energy-efficiency label, the highest rating under the Spanish certification system, which implies enhanced thermal insulation, high-performance glazing and reduced running costs for heating and cooling. Climate control consists of air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, distributed through the apartment; no underfloor heating or fireplace is listed. The kitchen is delivered fully fitted, with appliances and cabinetry installed, and bedrooms include fitted wardrobes. The 20 m² private terrace extends the 94 m² interior, oriented south-east with sea views confirmed in the photographic material. Interior finishes visible in the imagery show a contemporary white-toned kitchen and open-plan living area with balcony access. The building includes a lift, relevant for furniture transport and daily use on upper floors. Two parking spaces in the building and a separate storage room are included in the purchase, items that carry separate price tags in many Costa del Sol developments. Communal areas comprise a pool, a gym with modern equipment and mirrored walls, and landscaped communal gardens. The unit is delivered unfurnished, allowing buyers to install their own interiors. As with any completed new-build, verification of snagging completion, warranty documentation (the statutory ten-year building guarantee, or seguro decenal) and the energy certificate against the actual delivered state is standard practice before completion.
The asking price is €499,000 for a completed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment of 94 m² with a 20 m² terrace, two parking spaces and a storage room included. Within Benalmádena's new-build segment, comparable projects list from €418,000 (Blossom) and €430,000 (Finca Doña Maria) up to €524,000 (Nexus Residences), placing this property in the middle of the local range. The municipality recorded 2,299 property transactions, indicating an active resale and new-build market. Price is stated as a single listing figure rather than a from-price, as the unit is complete; buyers should confirm whether transfer costs, VAT or notary fees are included.
Daily life at this address is organised around the coastal strip of Benalmádena, where the distance between front door and shoreline is measured in a few hundred metres rather than kilometres. Playa Malapesquera lies 229 m away, close enough that a morning swim or an evening walk along the Paseo Marítimo requires no car. The nearest supermarket (245 m) and pharmacy (402 m) fall within the same radius, which means routine shopping can be done on foot. The immediate area is urban rather than residential-quiet: Benalmádena Costa is a consolidated tourist zone with 24 hotels and over 11,000 registered beds in the municipality, so summer months bring noticeably more activity than winter months. Outside the high season the neighbourhood settles into a slower rhythm, with restaurants and cafés, 186 within a 2 km radius, remaining open year-round. The apartment's south-east orientation places morning sun on the 20 m² terrace; afternoons receive indirect light. The slope towards the beach is measured at 8.2%, a gradient worth noting for the return walk uphill with shopping or beach gear. Rail access is a practical asset: Arroyo de la Miel station, 1 km away, connects to Málaga city, the airport and Fuengirola on the Cercanías C-1 line, reducing dependence on a car for regional trips. The two bathrooms and separate bedrooms suit both permanent residents and visiting guests, while the communal gym and pool shift recreation on-site. For a household combining coastal proximity with urban services, the location functions without a vehicle for most daily needs; a car mainly serves excursions, airport runs and larger shopping trips.
The surroundings operate on two scales. At street level, the property sits in Benalmádena Costa, where restaurants (186 within 2 km), cafés (48) and banks (23) cluster along the coastal strip and the arterial Avenida del Alay. The Puerto Marina leisure harbour and the Bil-Bat area lie within walking range. At municipal level, Benalmádena counts 78,338 inhabitants (INE, 2025), two health centres and a hospital 3.4 km from the property. Rail access via Arroyo de la Miel station (1 km) links to Málaga city centre in roughly 30 minutes and to the airport with one change or a short taxi ride from Torremolinos station. Eight public transport lines and 15 stops serve the municipality. The terrain rises from the shore at 54 m elevation; the 8.2% slope towards the beach shapes walking routes but keeps the building within easy pedestrian reach of the sand. Traffic on the coastal N-340 and A-7 increases in July and August alongside the seasonal population; residents report quieter conditions from October to May. Sports infrastructure is extensive, with 219 facilities recorded, including an ice rink (Club Municipal de Hielo, 0.6 km), a racket club (1.0 km) and the Polideportivo Arroyo de la Miel (1.1 km).
The map shows the property's position on the Benalmádena seafront, with Playa Malapesquera immediately below, the supermarket and pharmacy within one block, and the rail line at Arroyo de la Miel 1 km inland. Málaga Airport appears to the east; the golf courses cluster towards Torremolinos.

Benalmádena records 3,888 sunshine hours per year historically, among the higher figures for the Iberian Peninsula, and a mean annual temperature of 18.6°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, extends across approximately four months, typically June to September; sea swimming outside this window is possible but cooler. The property stands at roughly 54 m above sea level on the lower coastal slope, with the terrain rising inland towards Benalmádena Pueblo and the Montes de Málaga beyond. The 8.2% gradient towards the beach means the building enjoys a slightly elevated position relative to the shoreline, contributing to the sea views from the terrace while keeping the walk to the sand short. Forested hills lie behind the urban belt, and the property listing notes proximity to both town and forest settings. Winters are mild with occasional rainfall concentrated between November and February; summers are dry and warm, with the A-rated insulation and cold-air conditioning managing indoor temperatures during peak months.

Within Benalmádena's new-build apartment market, this listing at €499,000 sits between the lower-priced Blossom (from €418,000) and Finca Doña Maria (from €430,000) and the higher-priced Nexus Residences (from €524,000). Positional differences explain part of the spread. Blossom and Finca Doña Maria tend to sit further from the shoreline or higher on the inland slope, where views and gradients differ; Nexus Residences competes more directly on coastal proximity and amenities. This property's distinguishing data points are its 229 m beach distance, the A energy rating, and the inclusion of two parking spaces plus storage at a mid-range price, a package that in some competing projects is invoiced separately. Regionally, Benalmádena's 2,299 recorded property transactions indicate turnover comparable to other mid-Coast municipalities, supported by year-round population (78,338) rather than seasonal demand alone. Compared with Torremolinos to the east, Benalmádena offers a similar coastal-urban character with somewhat more green space and the inland pueblo as a counterweight to the tourist strip. Compared with Fuengirola to the west, prices per square metre run broadly similar on the coast. For buyers weighing this property against alternatives, the key variables are distance-to-beach versus price, and inclusion of parking and storage versus headline square metres, this listing trades space (94 m²) for location and completeness of the package. The Mediterranean climate, at 3,888 sunshine hours and an 18.6°C annual mean, is common to the whole region and does not differentiate between these projects; micro-location and specification do.
