This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 163 m² forms part of a completed beachfront complex completed in 2003, positioned in an urbanised setting on the Málaga coast. The property is listed at €771,000 and includes a storage room and parking space. The complex offers communal facilities including an outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam and gym. The nearest beach lies within walking distance, and a supermarket is situated 73 metres from the building. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 7.9 km away by road, with the city centre and its services accessible via nearby train stations and bus routes.
Placed against current new-build supply on the Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies a different segment. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all new constructions at materially lower entry prices. At roughly €4,724 per square metre, this resale unit prices above those projects per square metre, and the differential reflects three factors: the front-line beach position, the inclusion of furniture, parking and storage, and the communal wellness infrastructure within the complex. The trade-off is age. A 2003 building carries early-2000s insulation and glazing standards, whereas new-builds deliver current energy certification and modern layouts. Locationally, the comparison is not direct. Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona positions appeal to buyers seeking resort or suburban settings; this apartment sits in an urban Málaga district with a hospital at 642 m, 29 schools within the wider radius and rail access to the airport. That combination is uncommon among beachfront listings in the region, where front-line positions more often sit at a distance from full urban services. For investment-oriented buyers, the obtainable tourist licence and the area's 6,897 hotel beds indicate established seasonal demand, though resale buyers should weigh the older construction against the entry-price advantage of newer stock further along the coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in a front-line beach complex within an established urbanisation. Straight-line distances place Playa de la Malagueta at 1.3 km, Playa de San Andrés at 1.8 km and Playa de la Misericordia at 3.2 km. A supermarket lies 73 m away, a pharmacy 211 m and a hospital 642 m. Three train stations fall within 1.6 km, and 22 public transport stops serve the area.
The property functions as a permanent residence or second home. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, 163 m² of floor area, underfloor heating and air conditioning cover year-round occupancy. Communal wellness facilities, a lift, a covered terrace and a private solarium support daily and seasonal use. The east-south orientation provides morning and midday sun exposure on the terraces.
This is not a new-build project. The complex was completed in 2003 and the apartment is in good condition, offered fully furnished. Delivery is immediate upon completion of purchase, subject to standard notary and registry procedures. The age of the building means construction standards correspond to early-2000s regulations rather than current energy codes.
The project offers two bedrooms rather than three or more, which limits use for larger households. There is no private pool; the outdoor and indoor pools are communal. The property is a 2003 build, so it does not carry a modern energy certificate by default. No garden ownership is recorded beyond the private terrace and solarium. The swimming season in local waters measures approximately four months at temperatures above 20°C.
Several buyer profiles align with this property. A couple seeking a permanent coastal residence benefits from the walkable setting, supermarket, pharmacy and hospital within 650 metres, and the flat route to the beach, which removes daily car dependency. A buyer planning seasonal use gains from the furnished condition and the immediate availability, avoiding renovation lead times. An investor considering the tourist rental route can note that the property can obtain a tourist licence, subject to municipal approval, and the area's hotel capacity of 24 establishments and 6,897 beds indicates established seasonal demand. Buyers who prioritise wellness facilities without maintaining them privately find the communal indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, hammam and gym relevant. The property suits households of two to four people given the two-bedroom layout; larger families would need to weigh the 163 m² floor plan against the bedroom count. Buyers specifically seeking a new-build with current energy certification should look elsewhere, as this is a 2003 complex. Those wanting a quiet rural setting should also note the urban context: 22 public transport stops and multiple schools indicate a functioning city neighbourhood rather than an isolated enclave. Finally, owners who travel frequently benefit from the 7.9 km road distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport and the nearby Cercanías train stations connecting to the terminal and city centre.
The interior specification combines marble flooring throughout with double glazing, a combination typical of early-2000s premium coastal construction. Underfloor heating runs across the apartment, supplemented by air conditioning, giving two independent climate-control systems for winter and summer. The photographic record shows a marble bathroom with both tub and shower, and a second bathroom with a double-sink vanity unit, indicating a level of finishing above basic specification. The covered terrace and separate private solarium extend the usable area outdoors; the solarium, combined with the corner position, provides sea views recorded in the listing. The building includes a lift, which affects both daily convenience and long-term accessibility. As a 2003 construction, the double glazing and insulation standards predate the current technical building code; buyers assessing energy performance should request the existing energy certificate, as no rating is recorded in the available data. Communal areas, the resort-style outdoor pool with cabanas and palm trees shown in the imagery, the heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam and gym, form part of the shared infrastructure and fall under community management and fees. The condition is recorded as good, and the apartment is sold fully furnished. Buyers should verify the age and service history of the climate systems and the underfloor heating installation during technical due diligence, as replacement cycles for such systems typically fall within the 15–25 year range.
The asking price is €771,000 for a 163 m² apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, equivalent to approximately €4,724 per square metre. The price includes a storage room, a parking space and full furnishing, which affects direct comparison with unfurnished listings. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, though those projects differ in build year, location and specification. The front-line beach position and communal wellness facilities are the primary price-determining factors here. Availability is immediate, as the unit is completed.
Daily life around this apartment is structured by short distances. A supermarket sits 73 metres from the complex, a pharmacy 211 metres, and a hospital 642 metres, which places routine errands within a few minutes on foot. The east-south orientation means the covered terrace receives morning and midday sun, while the private solarium extends usable outdoor space into the afternoon. Underfloor heating and air conditioning regulate interior temperature across the 12–27°C annual range, making full-year residence practical rather than seasonal only. The immediate area is urban rather than rural: 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies and 7 banks operate within a 2 km radius, and 19 primary schools plus 10 secondary schools sit in the same catchment. Mobility works without a car for most daily needs, the terrain to the beach is essentially flat at a 1.1% gradient, and four public transport lines with 22 stops connect the neighbourhood to the wider city. Train stations at Los Prados (0.8 km), Guadalhorce (1.6 km) and Clínico (1.6 km) provide rail links. The rhythm of the area shifts with the tourist calendar: 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds operate nearby, so summer months bring higher footfall, while the off-season returns to a residential pace. For owners focused on wellness, the communal pool, heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam and gym sit within the complex itself, removing the need for external memberships for basic facilities.
The immediate neighbourhood supplies daily needs within a radius measurable in hundreds rather than thousands of metres: supermarket at 73 m, pharmacy at 211 m, hospital at 642 m, and an EV charging point at 434 m. Sports facilities cluster nearby, Campo de Fútbol Los Prados and Petanca Los Prados at 0.6 km, and Campo de Fútbol Los Conejitos at 1.1 km. The area supports a car-light lifestyle: the 1.1% gradient to the beach is flat, four bus lines run through 22 stops, and three train stations (Los Prados 0.8 km, Guadalhorce 1.6 km, Clínico 1.6 km) link to the city and airport. Education infrastructure, 19 primary and 10 secondary schools within the wider radius, indicates a permanent residential population rather than a purely seasonal one. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in addition to the hospital. The tourism layer (24 hotels, 6,897 beds) brings seasonal economic activity and, in summer, higher visitor numbers along the coast. Off-season, the neighbourhood reverts to its residential base of local commerce: 23 restaurants, 4 cafés and 7 banks within 2 km operate year-round. The climate supports outdoor use for most of the year, with 3,888 recorded sunshine hours and an annual mean of 18.7°C.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The property occupies a coastal-urban position west of Málaga city centre, closer to the airport than to the historic core, a reversal of the typical Costa del Sol resort geography. Where Estepona and Marbella positions emphasise resort isolation, this location trades that for train links, hospital proximity and school infrastructure. Torremolinos and Benalmádena lie along the coast to the east; Guadalmar and the Parador golf area sit immediately west. The position suits buyers who want beach access and city amenities in the same footprint.
Beaches: Playa de la Malagueta at 1.3 km, Playa de San Andrés at 1.8 km and Playa de la Misericordia at 3.2 km straight-line. Airport: Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) approximately 4 km straight-line, 7.9 km by road. Golf: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 8.2 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 9.4 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 11 km. Marinas: IGY Málaga Marina at 5.2 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 5.3 km. Málaga city centre and its historic district lie within the 5–7 km range via train or car. Alternative airports: Gibraltar at approximately 100 km and Alicante-Elche at 387 km straight-line. The combination of train access and airport proximity makes both regional and international travel practical from this location.

The climate data records an annual mean temperature of 18.7°C with a seasonal range of 12–27°C, consistent with a Mediterranean coastal regime of mild winters and warm summers. Sunshine hours total approximately 3,888 per year, roughly 10.6 hours per day averaged across the year, which supports terrace and solarium use outside the peak summer months. The sea-temperature record indicates a swimming season of about four months at water temperatures of 20°C or above, generally June through September; the heated indoor pool in the complex extends swimming beyond this window. The site sits at 37 metres above sea level with a 1.1% slope toward the beach, meaning flat access on foot or bicycle without stairs or significant inclines. Nearby natural viewpoints, Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km), Observatorio de Aves Marinas (4.5 km) and Mirador de Churriana (4.8 km), offer walking and birdwatching destinations within a short drive.

The coastal strip offers several beaches within 1.3–3.5 km, including Playa de la Malagueta, Playa de San Andrés, Playa de la Misericordia and Playa Sacaba. Golfers can reach three courses within 11 km: Club de Golf Málaga Parador (8.2 km), Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (9.4 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (11 km). Waterfront recreation extends to two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo, both around 5.2–5.3 km, offering berths and nautical services. Within the complex itself, the outdoor pool with cabanas, the heated indoor pool, sauna, hammam and gym provide daily recreation without leaving the property. Football and petanca facilities lie 0.6–1.1 km away. The four-month sea swimming season defines the beach calendar, while land-based recreation remains available year-round given the climate data.
