This duplex penthouse in Costabella, Málaga, offers a unique living experience within walking distance of the beach. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms spread across 98 m², the property has been recently renovated and is in excellent condition. Its southeast orientation ensures ample natural light and pleasant temperatures throughout the year. Situated in an urban setting, the property provides proximity to various amenities while maintaining a tranquil residential environment. This penthouse combines modern luxury with the relaxed lifestyle of the Costa del Sol.
Compared to other offerings on the Costa del Sol, this penthouse is positioned in the higher price segment, partly due to its recent, comprehensive renovation and direct proximity to the beach. Projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000) typically offer lower price points but often lack the specific renovation quality and direct beach access of this property. Alba Benalmádena, priced from €699,000, is in a comparable price range and also offers an urban coastal experience, albeit in a different area. This penthouse distinguishes itself through its duplex layout, extensive rooftop terrace facilities including an outdoor kitchen, and spectacular panoramic views, features that contribute to its higher valuation in the current market. The choice of Costabella, close to Málaga, also offers an advantage in terms of accessibility and urban amenities compared to more secluded locations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in Costabella, a vibrant urban area of Málaga, this penthouse is just a stone's throw from El Alicate beach (557 m as the crow flies). The proximity to restaurants, shops, and schools (within 2 km) enhances daily convenience. The location is characterized by a gentle slope (4.2%) towards the beach, which aids accessibility.
The penthouse is designed for those seeking comfort and functionality in a sunny environment.

The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances and a bar, while the living areas offer stylish decor, complete with a wood-burning stove for ambiance. The bathrooms are modern and functional. The outdoor kitchen on the rooftop terrace, featuring an induction hob, refrigerator, and second dishwasher, along with the washer and dryer, enhances the comfort and usability of the outdoor space. The overall finish prioritizes durability and luxury.
