This key-ready penthouse is located on Calle Grecia in Torrequebrada, Benalmádena, on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 218 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and features a private rooftop terrace with jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, barbecue area and sea and mountain views. The home forms part of a gated community with a communal swimming pool and includes two private underground parking spaces. Playa de la Yuca lies approximately 0.2 km away as the crow flies. The asking price is €695,000. The building was completed in 2007.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands in the beachside district of Torrequebrada, west of Benalmádena centre. Playa de la Yuca is roughly 0.2 km away in a straight line, with further beaches within 0.6 km. The Cercanías station of Torremuelle is 1.6 km away and Benalmádena, Arroyo de la Miel station 2.2 km. Málaga lies 19 km away and Marbella 31 km, both measured as the crow flies.
The home combines three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, a separate kitchen and a utility room with a substantial private rooftop terrace. A lift serves the building, and air conditioning and central heating provide year-round climate control. Two underground parking spaces are included. The communal pool and gated setting support everyday residential use as well as holiday occupancy.
This concerns an existing home completed in 2007, delivered key-ready. There is no construction phase or waiting period; the property can be transferred in its current condition. Interior and technical installations date from the original build and any subsequent maintenance, which is customary for a dwelling of this age on the Costa del Sol.
The property offers three bedrooms and 218 m² across a single penthouse unit; buyers seeking a larger villa, private garden or private pool will not find those here. The swimming pool is communal. Plot size equals living area, indicating an apartment-style tenure without private ground. The building dates from 2007, so finishes reflect that construction period.
This property fits a buyer profile centred on outdoor living space. Many Costa del Sol apartments offer a balcony or a modest terrace; a full private rooftop with jacuzzi, sauna, barbecue and dining area is comparatively scarce, and it is the element around which the whole purchase decision will likely revolve. A household of two to four people that wants a three-bedroom layout for family visits, or for permanent residence with a home office in one of the bedrooms, will find the floor plan workable. The ensuite bathroom and the utility room support longer stays rather than weekend use only. The location suits buyers who want to manage without a car for daily errands: beaches within 0.2 to 0.6 km straight-line, roughly 47 restaurants and 10 cafés within 2 km, plus pharmacies, banks and a hospital in the same radius. It equally suits owners who travel frequently by air, given the roughly 11 km straight-line distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol airport. Conversely, the property is less obvious for buyers seeking a private garden, a private pool or villa-style privacy; the pool here is communal and the plot coincides with the dwelling footprint. The 2007 construction year means the interior reflects that generation of building, which may appeal to buyers who prefer a settled community with mature planting over a newly finished urbanisation. For owners planning seasonal letting, the combination of beach proximity, air conditioning and the rooftop terrace places the property in a rental segment where such features carry weight, subject to regional licensing rules.
The building dates from 2007, which places it in a period when Costa del Sol residential construction generally moved towards better insulation standards, aluminium or PVC double glazing and pre-installation for ducted air conditioning. This penthouse carries both air conditioning and central heating, allowing year-round occupation, including the cooler weeks of December and January when coastal temperatures still average mild by northern European standards but heating is used in the evenings. The interior layout comprises a separate, fully equipped kitchen with a utility room, a bright living and dining area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms including an ensuite. A lift serves the building, which matters both for daily convenience and for long-term accessibility as residents age. The rooftop terrace is the technically distinctive element: it combines a jacuzzi, a Finnish sauna, a barbecue, an outdoor dining area and sun loungers, with palm trees providing screening. Terrace installations of this kind require ongoing maintenance, and buyers are advised to verify the condition and service history of the jacuzzi and sauna during a viewing. The covered terrace at apartment level extends usable space in shoulder seasons and offers shade during the peak summer months. The communal parts include a swimming pool within a gated community, which distributes maintenance responsibility across the community rather than to a single owner. Two private underground parking spaces protect vehicles from sun and salt air, a practical point on the coast. As with any resale property of nearly two decades old, a technical inspection is a sensible step to establish the state of the roof waterproofing, the heating system and the electrical installation before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €695,000 for this existing penthouse. That figure covers the complete package as offered: the 218 m² dwelling, the private rooftop terrace with jacuzzi, sauna and barbecue, two underground parking spaces and membership of the gated community with communal pool. Because this is a resale property rather than a new-build price list, there is one price for one specific unit, without the typology spread typical of off-plan projects. Buyers should additionally budget for purchase costs under Spanish law, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees. Community fees and annual property tax (IBI) apply and can be requested through the selling party.
Daily life at this address centres on the contrast between a quiet, elevated interior and the beach strip a short walk below. The penthouse occupies the top floor of a gated community in Torrequebrada, a residential pocket of Benalmádena known for its golf course, casino and steady mix of permanent residents and second-home owners. Inside, the layout follows a conventional southern Spanish pattern: a combined living and dining area, a separate kitchen with a utility room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite. The covered terrace extends the living space outdoors at apartment level, while the rooftop terrace functions as a genuine open-air room. It carries a jacuzzi, a Finnish sauna, a barbecue, a dining area and sun loungers, framed by palm trees with views over the Mediterranean and the hills behind. The gradient from the street to the beach measures about 5.5%, a moderate slope that most residents manage on foot, though the return climb is noticeable in summer heat. Because the beach, beach bars, cafés, restaurants and supermarkets sit within walking distance, the car can realistically stay in the underground garage for much of the day. Six public transport lines and fifty stops in the surrounding area provide alternatives for trips along the coast, and the commuter train from Torremuelle or Arroyo de la Miel connects towards Málaga and Fuengirola. For a household that divides time between the Netherlands, Belgium or another northern country and the Costa del Sol, the property supports both patterns: lock-and-leave during absence, with the gated entrance and community management, and full occupation during extended stays, with heating for the winter months and a swimming season of about four months when sea temperatures reach 20°C or more.
Torrequebrada sits between Benalmádena Costa and Fuengirola, one of the densest amenity corridors on the western Costa del Sol. Within a 2 km radius the area counts around 47 restaurants, 10 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 2 banks, 4 schools and a hospital, alongside 2 health centres for routine care. Education provision in the wider municipality covers 13 primary schools and 11 secondary schools. Three beaches lie within 0.6 km straight-line: Playa de la Yuca at 0.2 km, Playa Benalnatura at 0.5 km and Playa Las Viborillas at 0.6 km, giving residents a choice of stretches within a short walk down a moderate 5.5% gradient. Torrequebrada's golf course and casino are local landmarks, while the Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt lies 2.3 km away. Sports facilities in the immediate area include Club de Raqueta at 1.6 km, an ice rink at 2.3 km and a hockey club at 2.9 km. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, 24 hotels with over 11,000 beds, which keeps restaurants and services open through the winter, a real advantage over more seasonal resorts. The local housing market records about 2,070 transactions per year, indicating an active, liquid market. Daily rhythms here are coastal: morning walks on the paseo marítimo, lunch at a beach bar, and the train from Torremuelle station, 1.6 km away, for trips to Málaga or Fuengirola without driving.
The map shows the penthouse in Torrequebrada, with the coastline and the three nearest beaches immediately east and south. Markers for the train stations at Torremuelle and Arroyo de la Miel, the golf courses and Málaga airport give a sense of scale; all distances shown are straight-line, with actual road routes somewhat longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, Torrequebrada occupies a position on the Benalmádena coast, roughly midway between Málaga city, 19 km away, and Marbella, 31 km away, both as the crow flies. This places the property in the central band of the coast: close enough to Málaga's airport, cultural life and high-speed rail for convenience, and within reach of Marbella and Estepona for day trips westward. Benalmádena itself combines a substantial permanent population with a mature tourism base, which distinguishes it from both the more urbanised Torremolinos strip and the more resort-driven Nueva Andalucía area.
Accessibility is one of the stronger points of this address. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies roughly 11 km away in a straight line, making flight connections reachable within a short drive; Gibraltar airport is 86 km away as a secondary option. By rail, Torremuelle station is 1.6 km away and Benalmádena, Arroyo de la Miel, with its wider connections and the cable car, is 2.2 km; Carvajal station is 4.2 km. Six bus lines and fifty stops serve the surrounding area. Distances mentioned are straight-line figures, and actual road routes are somewhat longer, particularly along the coastal strip where the N-340 and A-7 structure local traffic. By car, Málaga city is 19 km away as the crow flies and Marbella 31 km, both reachable via the AP-7 or the coastal road. Fuengirola's marina lies 7.6 km away for boat-related leisure. An electric vehicle charger is available 4.2 km away in Fuengirola. Two private underground parking spaces at the property itself reduce the usual coastal parking pressure considerably.

The location stands at about 26 m above sea level with a moderate slope towards the sea, high enough to give the rooftop terrace its panoramic outlook over the coastline while keeping the beach walkable. The climate data point to an average annual temperature of 18.6°C, consistent with the subtropical Mediterranean conditions of the Málaga coast: hot, dry summers and mild winters with limited rainfall concentrated outside the summer months. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, roughly June through September or October. Outside that window the sea is brisk, though the rooftop jacuzzi and sauna partly compensate during cooler evenings. Sun hours on this stretch of coast are among the highest in mainland Spain, which matters directly for a terrace-oriented property: the rooftop can realistically be used for breakfast in spring and autumn, not only in summer. The hills behind Benalmádena, visible from the terrace, hold walking routes such as the area around Mirador del Madroño, 4.9 km away, for residents seeking inland day trips.

Three beaches sit within 0.6 km straight-line of the property, with Playa de la Yuca the nearest at 0.2 km. This density of sandy options within a short walk is the core recreational asset of the location; residents can vary their stretch of coast depending on crowds and season. The nearby beach bars and restaurants extend beach use into the evening months. Golfers find the Torrequebrada course nearby, the 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, a spread that covers both casual and 18-hole play. The community's own swimming pool provides a daily alternative to the beach. For organised sport, Club de Raqueta lies 1.6 km away, the municipal ice rink at 2.3 km and Club Hockey Benalmádena at 2.9 km. Fuengirola's marina, 7.6 km away, offers moorings and water-based activities. The casino at Torrequebrada rounds off the leisure offer within the immediate neighbourhood. Seasonality is moderate: with 24 hotels and over 11,000 beds in the area, hospitality stays largely open year-round, so recreation does not shut down in winter as it does in more seasonal resorts.

At a fixed price of €695,000, this penthouse sits in a different segment from the new-build comparables currently marketed along the coast. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950. Those projects offer modern construction and developer specifications at lower entry prices, but typically in typologies with less private outdoor space and in locations further from the immediate beach strip. The Torrequebrada property competes on other grounds: a full private rooftop with jacuzzi and sauna, two parking spaces, an established gated community and a beachside address within 0.2 km straight-line of the sand. Within Benalmádena itself, the local market records around 2,070 housing transactions per year, indicating steady demand and reasonable liquidity for resale. The location between Málaga, 19 km away, and Marbella, 31 km, gives the address access to both ends of the coast's employment and leisure geography, with the airport at roughly 11 km strengthening its appeal for international owners. Buyers weighing this property against off-plan alternatives should account for the age difference: a 2007 building carries a maintenance history and a construction standard of its period, whereas new-build projects carry developer warranties but often communal rather than private outdoor space. Median income in the province of €16,450 per year contextualises the local economy, which is heavily service- and tourism-driven; the immediate Torrequebrada area, with its golf course, casino and 24 hotels, functions on visitor spending that keeps amenities open through winter. In price-per-square-metre terms, €695,000 across 218 m² works out at roughly €3,190 per m² before negotiation and purchase costs, a figure buyers can benchmark against current Benalmádena resale listings.
