A corner townhouse for sale in Benalmadena, Malaga, with a fixed asking price of €528,000. The property offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 126 m² of living space, and was completed in 1998. It sits in a coastal urban setting near Arroyo de la Miel, within walking distance of shops, beaches and public transport. The house includes a private pool, a sauna, an interior lift and a versatile attic. Distances to beaches and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport are short, and the town's train and bus connections place much of the Costa del Sol within easy reach. This page sets out the property's factual characteristics, its surroundings and practical considerations for buyers.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an urbanised coastal area of Benalmadena, close to Arroyo de la Miel. Playa Malapesquera lies approximately 229 metres away as the crow flies, with Playa de Santa Ana at about 588 metres. A supermarket sits within 245 metres and a pharmacy within 402 metres. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 9.3 km away in a straight line. The setting is built-up rather than rural.
The house provides 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 126 m² of living area, distributed over several levels served by an interior lift. A covered terrace, patio, winter terrace, attic and storage room extend the usable space. A private pool and sauna sit on the 183 m² plot. Fitted wardrobes and a dressing room support day-to-day living for families or those needing guest accommodation.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1998 and the property is described as key-ready and in good condition. There is no delivery schedule or construction phase to consider. Buyers should account for the age of the building when assessing maintenance and renovation needs, and arrange an independent technical survey before purchase.
The property is a 1998 townhouse, so it lacks the specifications and warranties of new construction. No garage or parking space is listed in the data. The plot is modest for a villa, with the private pool and sauna occupying most of the outdoor space. The gradient from the house to the beach is recorded as steep at 8.2%. Energy performance details are not stated in the available data.

This property fits buyers who want an immediately usable home near the coast without a construction wait or off-plan uncertainty. The lift and three bathrooms make it workable for households that expect to grow older in the property, or for families with teenagers who benefit from separate bathrooms. Those who prioritise private outdoor space, a pool not shared with a community, will find that here, which is uncommon among apartments at this budget. Buyers seeking proximity to the beach on foot will value the roughly 230-metre distance to Playa Malapesquera, though the 8.2% gradient should be weighed by anyone with mobility limits. It suits people who want to live without a car for most daily needs: supermarket, pharmacy, cafes and the train station are all within about a kilometre. It is less suitable for buyers wanting a modern new-build finish, a large garden, a private garage or a quiet rural setting, the environment is urban, the building dates from 1998, and parking arrangements are not specified in the data. Those looking for panoramic sea views from every room should also check the reality against the listing, as views here combine sea, mountain, urban and courtyard aspects. Finally, buyers focused purely on rental investment should note the property's age and assess renovation costs and licence requirements independently.
The home was built in 1998 and is recorded as being in good condition, with a kitchen described as finished in high-quality materials. Beyond that statement, the available data gives no independent verification of build standards, so a technical survey remains the reliable route to assessing structural condition, insulation and installations. What can be stated factually is the layout: an entrance hall, a large living room, a kitchen, a dressing room, a covered terrace, a winter terrace, a spacious patio and a versatile attic, plus a separate storage room. Fitted wardrobes are present in the sleeping areas. The interior lift spans the levels, a feature that reduces future adaptation costs compared with installing one later. The 183 m² plot carries the private pool and sauna; pool equipment of this age typically warrants inspection of pumps, filtration and waterproofing, and the same applies to the sauna installation. Windows, orientation and terracing follow a south-easterly to south-westerly direction, which in this latitude supports both morning and late-afternoon sun exposure on the outdoor spaces. No information is available on the energy performance certificate, heating system or air conditioning; these should be confirmed during viewing. Buyers comparing this with nearby new-build projects should weigh the age difference directly: 1998 construction predates current insulation and efficiency standards, and modernisation budgets may be part of the purchase calculation.
The asking price is fixed at €528,000; it is not a starting price, as this is an existing home rather than a new-build development. At this level, the property competes with nearby new-build projects such as Blossom (from €418,000), Finca Dona Maria (from €430,000) and Nexus Residences (from €524,000), though those figures represent entry prices for different unit types and typically without a private pool. The price reflects the location within walking distance of beaches, the private pool, the sauna and the interior lift. Availability is immediate in principle, since the home is key-ready and completed in 1998. Buyers should verify community fees, annual property tax and any pending works through their legal representative before committing.
Daily life at this address revolves around a compact, fully urban environment with the sea a few hundred metres away. The corner position brings windows on more than one side, and the interior lift removes the usual staircase burden of a multi-level townhouse, which matters for older residents or families with small children. The ground-floor patio and covered terrace function as outdoor rooms for much of the year given the local climate, while the winter terrace and sunroom extend usable living space into cooler months. The attic is an adaptable room, suited to a study, guest space or storage, with the additional storage room absorbing household clutter. The private pool is small-scale but private, and the sauna adds a wellness element unusual at this price point. Errands are short: a supermarket 245 metres away and a pharmacy about 400 metres away mean shopping on foot is realistic. The train station at Arroyo de la Miel, roughly 1 km away, connects residents to Malaga, Torremolinos and Fuengirola, reducing dependence on a car for commuting or leisure trips. The neighbourhood is busy in character, as is typical of Benalmadena's coastal strip, and the steep gradient toward the beach makes some walks more demanding than the distances suggest. Schools, banks and health facilities are concentrated within about 2 km, supporting year-round rather than purely seasonal residence.
The immediate surroundings are those of a consolidated coastal town. Within 2 km, the area intelligence counts 186 restaurants, 48 cafes, 28 pharmacies, 23 banks, 7 schools and a hospital, which indicates that daily needs are met without leaving the neighbourhood. Benalmadena's population of roughly 78,000 sustains year-round services rather than a seasonal economy, and the town counts 13 primary schools and 11 secondary schools in total, relevant to families considering permanent relocation. Two health centres operate locally, with the hospital 3.4 km from the property. The transport picture is strong: eight public transport lines serve the area with 15 stops, and the Cercanias train station at Arroyo de la Miel lies about 1 km away, with Torremolinos 3.8 km and Malaga reachable in well under half an hour by rail. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 9.3 km away as the crow flies. This density has a flip side: streets are busier than in hillside urbanisations, and parking in coastal zones can be tight, a point to verify on site. On balance, the location favours convenience and walkability over tranquillity.
The map shows the property's position in the coastal strip of Benalmadena, with the shoreline a short distance below and the town rising steeply behind. Beaches, the train station at Arroyo de la Miel and local amenities cluster within about a kilometre, illustrating how compact daily life is here. Malaga and its airport sit to the north-east.

Benalmadena occupies a central position on the Costa del Sol, 12 km west of Malaga and between Torremolinos and Fuengirola. Malaga city, with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 18 km away as the crow flies, providing cultural institutions, a high-speed rail link and the region's main airport at 9.3 km from the property. Marbella sits 31 km to the south-west, expanding the options for dining, golf and shopping. This centrality, combined with the local train line, makes the town one of the better-connected mid-sized municipalities on the coast for buyers who want Malaga and Marbella within easy day-trip range.
Beaches are the strongest card: Playa Malapesquera lies 229 metres away in a straight line, Playa de Santa Ana about 588 metres, and Playa de Benalmadena 1.1 km. Note that all distances are as the crow flies and the descent to the shore is steep at 8.2%, so the walk back is more demanding than the raw numbers suggest. Golf options include Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt at 3.4 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Angel Jimenez at 4.9 km and Club de Golf Malaga Parador at 7.7 km. The airport at 9.3 km straight-line makes arrivals and departures straightforward, with Gibraltar as a secondary option at roughly 89 km. For electric vehicle owners, charging points sit 7.0 km away, with a Supercharger in Fuengirola at 6.5 km and another in Malaga at 7.7 km. A car is useful but not essential here: the supermarket, pharmacy and train station are all within walking range, and the steep terrain means comfortable footwear matters more than motorised transport for local errands.

Benalmadena records an average annual temperature of 18.6 °C, typical of the Costa del Sol's mild Mediterranean climate, and the town lies at 54 metres above sea level. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, spans about four months, concentrating beach use between early summer and early autumn. The property's own position on a slope has two practical consequences: it delivers sea views from the terraces, and it imposes an 8.2% gradient on the walk to the shore, which is steep enough to notice daily. Orientation between south-east and south-west means the terraces and patio receive sun across most of the day, making the covered outdoor spaces genuinely habitable rather than decorative. Beyond the town, viewpoints at Mirador Los Canones (2.6 km), Mirador del Madrono (3.9 km) and Mirador del Lobo (4.1 km) offer walking destinations with mountain and coastal panoramas, while the Sierra behind Benalmadena provides longer hiking routes. Nature here is a backdrop to urban life rather than a wilderness setting.

The immediate coastline offers several beaches within a kilometre: Playa Malapesquera, Playa de Santa Ana and Playa de Bil Bil at 0.8 km. The municipality holds two Blue Flag beaches, Carvajal and Fuente de la Salud, which meet the programme's water-quality and safety standards. Sports provision in the town is extensive, with 219 facilities recorded, including an ice rink at Club Municipal de Hielo 0.6 km away, a racquet club at 1 km and the Polideportivo Arroyo de la Miel at 1.1 km, covering swimming, tennis, padel and gym use. Golfers have three courses within 8 km, from the short-format Pitch & Putt to the full Miguel Angel Jimenez course at Torremolinos. Tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and over 11,000 beds, means restaurants and leisure stay open year-round, though it also brings seasonal crowds along the seafront. Recreational life here is coastal and active rather than rural.

Set against current new-build supply in Benalmadena, this €528,000 asking price places the property at the upper end of the local market entry range. Blossom in Benalmadena starts at €418,000 and Finca Dona Maria at €430,000, while Nexus Residences opens at €524,000, effectively the same threshold as this townhouse. Those comparisons require context: new-build prices are 'from' figures for the smallest units, typically apartments without private pools, and usually with community facilities rather than private outdoor space. What this property offers instead is land, a 183 m² plot with its own pool and sauna, plus an interior lift and three full bathrooms, a configuration rarely matched by new apartments at similar prices. The trade-offs are equally concrete. A 1998 building carries no new-build warranties, predates current energy-efficiency standards and will need survey-based assessment of its installations. No private parking is listed, which matters in a coastal zone where street parking is contested. Locationally, the property sits closer to the beach than most new developments in Benalmadena, which tend to sit inland or on hillsides; that proximity comes with an 8.2% gradient between house and shore. Regionally, Benalmadena prices sit below Marbella (31 km away) and broadly in line with Torremolinos and Fuengirola, while offering stronger rail links to Malaga than either. For buyers weighing private outdoor space and lift access against modern finish and warranties, this property and the nearby new-build projects represent two distinct answers to the same budget question.
