A key-ready apartment of 103 m² with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in Torrequebrada, Benalmádena, on the Costa del Sol. The property is part of a private urbanisation with a communal swimming pool and sits roughly 200 metres as the crow flies from Playa de la Yuca. Built in 2001 and in good condition, it offers a west-facing covered terrace with sea views, a lift, air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, and a large parking space with a 28 m² storage room. The asking price is fixed at €479,900. Torrequebrada is a beachside residential area next to a golf course, with shops, restaurants and public transport within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in the beachside district of Torrequebrada, between Benalmádena Costa and Fuengirola. Playa de la Yuca lies about 0.2 km away as the crow flies, with two further beaches within 0.6 km. A bus stop and supermarket are on the doorstep, and Torrequebrada Golf is adjacent. Málaga city centre is 19 km away in a straight line; Málaga Airport approximately 11 km.
The layout serves year-round living: three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), an independent kitchen and a living room opening onto a 20 m² glazed terrace facing west. Air conditioning, a lift, fitted wardrobes and a dedicated parking space with a 28 m² storage room cover practical daily needs. The communal pool belongs to the private urbanisation.
This is an existing home completed in 2001, not a new-build development. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The condition is recorded as good, with finishes typical of the early 2000s, including travertine marble in the en-suite bathroom and Lumon glazing on the terrace, which suggests later upgrades have been made.
Tourist rentals are not permitted for this property, which rules out short-term letting as a use. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. At 103 m² with a 20 m² terrace, outdoor space is moderate rather than generous. The building dates from 2001, so communal installations are over two decades old. The slope to the beach is about 5.5%, a moderate gradient that may matter to some residents.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple or family seeking a permanent coastal base will find three bedrooms, two bathrooms and walkable amenities that support daily life without dependence on a car. Buyers wanting a second home for their own use, long weekends, school holidays, winter stays, benefit from the key-ready status and the 11 km straight-line distance to Málaga Airport, which shortens arrival and departure logistics considerably. The west-facing terrace and evening sun over the sea towards Fuengirola suit residents whose day centres on the late afternoon and evening outdoors. Golf players are positioned next to Torrequebrada Golf, with further courses within a short drive. Investors should note the explicit restriction: tourist rentals are not permitted, so any rental strategy would have to rely on long-term residential letting, which changes the financial picture compared with short-term coastal lets. Buyers prioritising modern construction may prefer a new-build alternative, since this building dates from 2001; the travertine bathroom and Lumon terrace glazing indicate maintenance, but the overall finishing reflects its era. Households with limited mobility should assess the 5.5% slope to the beach and the internal layout in person. Finally, residents sensitive to seasonal crowding should account for the substantial hotel presence in the district: July and August bring heavier footfall than the quiet winter months, when the neighbourhood functions primarily as a residential area.
The apartment was completed in 2001 and is recorded as being in good condition. The en-suite bathroom is finished in travertine marble, a natural stone typical of higher-end Spanish construction of that period. The kitchen is independent and fully equipped rather than open-plan, which reflects the original layout and offers practical separation from the living area. The 20 m² terrace has been fitted with Lumon glazing, a frameless glass system that extends the usable season of the terrace by shielding it from wind and cooler months while preserving the sea view. This is a meaningful upgrade over an open terrace and effectively adds a semi-climate-controlled room. Internal circulation appears conventional for the era, with a hallway connecting bedrooms and bathrooms, as shown in the property's photographs. Fitted wardrobes provide storage in the bedrooms. Climate control consists of air conditioning; no underfloor heating or ducted system is listed. The building has a lift, which matters for accessibility and for moving furniture. Below the living accommodation, the property includes a rare combination at this price level: a large parking space with a 28 m² storage room, shown in the images as an unfinished basement storage area. This adds practical capacity that most apartments in the area lack. The communal parts, pool and urbanisation grounds, are shared facilities whose upkeep depends on the community of owners. Prospective buyers should verify the state of communal installations, community fees and any planned works through the standard due-diligence process, as is advisable for any building of this age.
The asking price is fixed at €479,900 for this existing home. This is not a from-price; it applies to the specific apartment with its parking space and 28 m² storage room included. Purchase costs come on top: transfer tax (ITP) in Andalucía is generally 7%, calculated on the higher of the cadastral reference value or the sale price, with reduced rates possible depending on the buyer's circumstances. Notary and registry fees follow official tariffs, and administrative processing, if required, runs to approximately €500 including VAT. Agency fees are included in the sale price. The property is key-ready, so no waiting period applies between purchase and occupation.
Torrequebrada is a consolidated coastal neighbourhood where daily life largely takes place on foot. The apartment sits within a private urbanisation, and the immediate area contains a supermarket, a bus stop and chiringuito Yucas beside the beach. With 47 restaurants, 10 cafés, 7 pharmacies and 2 banks within a two-kilometre radius, routine errands do not require a car. The beach at Playa de la Yuca is about 200 metres away as the crow flies, and the 5.5% gradient down to the shore is moderate enough for most people to walk comfortably. The west-facing orientation defines the rhythm of the day: the glazed 20 m² terrace catches afternoon and evening light, with views over the sea towards Fuengirola, and sunsets are a recurring feature of the position. Mornings are quieter on this side of the building, which suits residents who prefer shade before midday. The urbanisation pool provides a swimming option without leaving the complex. Beyond the immediate streets, Torrequebrada Golf sits alongside the area, and the Cercanías train stations at Torremuelle (1.6 km) and Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel (2.2 km) connect the neighbourhood to Málaga and Fuengirola. Six public transport lines and 50 stops serve the wider zone. The area is tourist-facing, 24 hotels and over 11,000 beds stand within the district, so summer months bring noticeably more activity than winter, when the neighbourhood reverts to a more residential pace. Four schools within two kilometres and thirteen primary schools in the broader area make the location workable for families, and two health centres cover day-to-day care.
Daily life around the apartment is compact and convenient. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 47 restaurants, 10 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 2 banks and a hospital, alongside a supermarket at walking distance from the urbanisation. Four schools sit inside that same radius, with 13 primary schools and 11 secondary schools in the broader zone, so families have genuine options. Healthcare is covered by two health centres. The nearest beach, Playa de la Yuca, is about 0.2 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Benalnatura at 0.5 km and Playa Las Viborillas at 0.6 km, three distinct beach choices within a ten-minute walk. For sport, Club de Raqueta lies 1.6 km away, the Municipal Ice Club at 2.3 km and Club Hockey Benalmádena at 2.9 km, an unusually varied set of facilities for a coastal town. Public transport consists of six lines with 50 stops in the area, and the Cercanías railway is reachable at Torremuelle station, 1.6 km straight-line. The apartment's own features, lift, near-transport location, glazed terrace, reduce friction in everyday routines. The gradient down to the beach of about 5.5% is manageable but noticeable on the return walk. Seasonally, the area's hotel stock means the summer brings visitors; outside those months the neighbourhood is calmer and more residential.
The map shows the apartment's position in Torrequebrada, immediately inland from the beaches of Benalmádena Costa. Playa de la Yuca lies about 200 metres to the south as the crow flies, with the golf course to the north and the commuter rail line slightly inland. Málaga Airport and the city sit to the northeast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torrequebrada occupies a mid-coast position between Benalmádena Costa and Fuengirola, about 19 km from Málaga and 31 km from Marbella. This places it in the central band of the Costa del Sol, close to the airport and the provincial capital yet within easy reach of the western golf coast. Compared with inland white villages or hillside developments, the area is genuinely beachside at low elevation, with train connections along the coast. The immediate setting combines urban convenience, shops, transport, restaurants, with the Torrequebrada Golf course as a green neighbour. Within Benalmádena, Torrequebrada is regarded as one of the established residential-tourist districts, more consolidated than newer expansions further east or west.
Accessibility is one of the stronger points of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 11 km away in a straight line, one of the shortest airport distances on the Costa del Sol, which simplifies international travel. Málaga city itself is 19 km straight-line, with its 579,000 inhabitants and full urban services. Marbella sits 31 km away and Fuengirola about 7.6 km from the marina, Puertos Deportivo de Fuengirola. Gibraltar Airport is 86 km straight-line, an alternative for some routes. Rail access runs through Torremuelle station at 1.6 km and Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel at 2.2 km, both on the Fuengirola-Málaga commuter line. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 corridor connects the area along the whole coast. Golfers can reach Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt at 2.3 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 7.7 km and Lauro Golf at 10.5 km. An EV charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, is 4.2 km away. All distances are straight-line; road distances are longer. Within the neighbourhood itself, the bus stop near the building and the walkable supermarket reduce the need for short car trips.

The location sits at about 26 metres above sea level with a moderate slope toward the coast, high enough for the panoramic sea views from the west-facing terrace without creating a strenuous walk. The average annual temperature is 18.6°C, consistent with the Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts around four months, roughly June through September or early October, though the communal pool and the glazed terrace extend outdoor living beyond that window. The terrace glazing in particular makes the outdoor space usable in the cooler months and on windy days, effectively converting it into an additional room. Sunshine hours on this stretch of coast are among the highest in Spain, and the west orientation concentrates daylight in the afternoon and evening. For nature, the Mirador del Madroño viewpoint lies 4.9 km away, and the mountains are visible from the property alongside the sea and country views. The combination of low elevation, maritime air and afternoon sun shapes the local living pattern: outdoor meals, evening walks along the Paseo Marítimo and terrace use for much of the year are realistic rather than occasional.

Three beaches sit within 600 metres of the apartment: Playa de la Yuca at 0.2 km, Playa Benalnatura at 0.5 km and Playa Las Viborillas at 0.6 km, all measured in a straight line. This density means beach choice can vary by day, quieter coves versus busier stretches with chiringuitos, without any need to drive. The beachside promenade of Benalmádena Costa connects the area for walking and cycling. Golf is a defining recreation here: Torrequebrada Golf adjoins the neighbourhood, Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt lies 2.3 km away, the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course 7.7 km, and Lauro Golf 10.5 km, giving a range from casual to full-length play. Other sports facilities within three kilometres include Club de Raqueta, the Municipal Ice Club and Club Hockey Benalmádena. For water-based leisure, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is 7.6 km away, offering berths, boat trips and waterfront dining. The district's tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and around 11,150 beds, supports a wide restaurant and entertainment offering year-round, though it also concentrates visitors in peak summer. The Mirador del Madroño viewpoint at 4.9 km provides an inland walking destination with views over the coast.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build projects commonly advertised along the coast. Comparable new developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) all start below this property's €479,900 fixed asking price, but those are from-prices for new construction, typically for smaller units, without an established location, and often without included parking and storage. The price difference here buys position and completeness: a beachside setting 200 metres from the sand, an 11 km straight-line distance to Málaga Airport, a west-facing sea view, and the rare inclusion of a parking space with a 28 m² storage room. Locationally, Torrequebrada compares favourably with Torre del Mar (farther east, cheaper, less central to the western Costa del Sol) and Estepona (more than twice the distance from Málaga and the airport). Mijas is closer in travel terms but its inland residential zones do not match this direct beach proximity. Against other Benalmádena micro-areas, Torrequebrada is one of the more established districts, with the golf course, train links at Torremuelle and Arroyo de la Miel, and a full urban fabric around it. The trade-off is age: a 2001 building against 2024-2026 new-build stock, and the restriction on tourist rentals, which new developments in some municipalities do allow. For buyers focused on long-term residential use or personal occupancy, the combination of immediate availability, beach proximity and transport access is difficult to replicate at the new-build entry prices further along the coast, where those prices typically rise steeply once larger units, views and parking are added. Transaction volumes of roughly 2,070 housing sales per year in the zone indicate an active, liquid local market, which matters for eventual resale.
