Located in the El Candado district of Málaga, this renovated villa offers 553 m² of living space on a substantial 4,227 m² plot. The property features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Its position is directly on the coastline, within the city limits, providing walking distance access to beaches and urban amenities such as supermarkets and dining. The renovation preserved historical elements like marble columns and wooden beams while integrating contemporary design and modern climate control systems.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in El Candado, an established coastal neighborhood in eastern Málaga. The location is urban, characterized by direct sea access and proximity to the city's cultural infrastructure. The terrain is flat at sea level.
The floor plan includes a main residence, a master suite, and a self-contained guest apartment on the upper floor. The basement level offers additional space that can serve as a bedroom or recreational area. The layout accommodates large families or those requiring space for staff and guests.
This is a renovation project. The existing villa has been fully refurbished and upgraded recently, bringing it to modern standards while retaining its original architectural character.
The villa is located next to the coastal road (N-340), which means traffic noise is a factor. The flat terrain offers ease of access but means upper-floor views are primarily of the sea and immediate surroundings rather than distant mountain ranges. Privacy from the road is maintained by the garden depth and vegetation.

This property suits buyers seeking a primary residence near Málaga's city center who do not wish to compromise on garden space or privacy. It is ideal for those who entertain frequently, given the multiple living areas and guest accommodation. The location is also suitable for anyone wanting to combine a sea-view lifestyle with the cultural amenities of a major city.
The refurbishment focused on harmonizing traditional Andalusian features with modern living. Original materials such as marble floors, wooden beams, and hand-painted tiles have been restored. Technical systems include air conditioning and central heating. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated to contemporary design standards. The property is in excellent condition.
The property is listed for €6,700,000. This pricing positions it in the luxury segment of the Málaga market, reflecting the scarcity of large plots within the city limits and the premium quality of the renovation.
Living in El Candado places one between the sea and the city. It is a practical location for those who value the convenience of urban living combined with coastal views. The area is residential, populated by locals, and lacks the high-density tourist feel of other parts of the Costa del Sol. Daily life here involves easy access to the beach promenade and local 'chiringuitos' (beach bars). The flat topography facilitates walking and cycling to nearby shops and the train station, connecting residents to the wider Málaga area.
The surrounding infrastructure is highly developed. Public transport is accessible, with the Atarazanas train station approximately 600 meters away, offering links to Málaga Centro and the airport. The city center is within easy driving distance. Daily necessities like pharmacies and supermarkets are within a 1-kilometer radius.
The map shows the villa positioned between the main coastal road and the seafront. The extensive garden plot is visible, separating the main house from the road traffic.
El Candado is located to the east of Málaga city center, distinct from the newer developments to the west. It offers a mix of traditional villas and urbanization. Its position provides a strategic balance: close enough to the city for convenience, yet removed enough to offer direct beach access and a quieter residential atmosphere.
The nearest beach, Playa de El Candado, is 440 meters away. Málaga Airport is 14 km from the property (as the crow flies), roughly a 20-minute drive. Golf courses are available in the vicinity, with the nearest course approximately 13 km away. The urban setting means most services are closer than in typical residential developments.

Compared to developments like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, this villa offers a different proposition. While those projects are often part of larger resorts or residential communities further from the city, this property is an individual estate integrated into the city fabric of Málaga. The price point reflects the rarity of finding such a large plot so close to the urban core. Unlike the more seasonal or tourism-dependent areas of the western Costa del Sol, El Candado is a year-round neighborhood.
