This key-ready apartment on the New Golden Mile offers 150 m² of living space with three en-suite bedrooms, four bathrooms and a south-facing 20 m² terrace with sea views. The property, completed in 2002 and recently renovated throughout, combines an open-plan living area with an integrated high-end kitchen, smart climate control and two parking spaces. The asking price is fixed at €659,000. The surrounding residential area provides access to beaches, golf courses and the coastal road network connecting Estepona and Marbella.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in a residential urbanisation on the New Golden Mile, within reach of the coast's principal amenities. Distances are straight-line figures: the nearest beach lies about 3.0 km away, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 4 km, and several golf courses between 5.2 and 7.8 km. The setting combines proximity to the coast with a location that remains practical for daily errands.
Functionally, the home is arranged for permanent or seasonal occupation. Three en-suite bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, a guest toilet and a separate utility room cover practical household needs. Climate control includes hot and cold air conditioning, central heating and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. A lift serves the building, and two parking spaces are included.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The building dates from 2002 and the interior has undergone a complete recent renovation. The property is key-ready, meaning the buyer can take occupancy directly after completion of the purchase process. Any completion dates mentioned in related documentation should be treated as indicative.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the urbanisation. There is no private garden, and outdoor space is limited to the covered terrace of approximately 20 m². The building's age means the construction is from 2002 despite the renovated interior. No information is available on a storage room beyond the utility area.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or family relocating to the coast permanently will find that three en-suite bedrooms and a guest toilet accommodate a household plus visitors without timetable conflicts. Buyers who plan to spend winters in Spain benefit from central heating and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, installations that are not standard in every coastal apartment and matter when December nights fall towards the monthly average low of around 12°C. Someone seeking a lock-and-leave second home will value the key-ready condition, the lift and the managed urbanisation with communal pool, which reduce maintenance concerns during long absences. Purchasers who work partly from home can use the open living area during the day, although a household wanting a dedicated fourth room as an office will find the layout does not provide one. Buyers with two cars are directly served by the two included parking spaces, a practical point in urbanisations where visitor and resident parking comes under pressure in summer. The flat terrain and short distance to the sea also suit residents who prefer walking or cycling over driving for daily exercise. Conversely, a buyer specifically wanting a private pool or a large garden should note that those features are absent here. Overall, the apartment is most coherent for a household prioritising interior quality, bathroom capacity and turnkey condition over outdoor private space.
The interior has been renovated from top to bottom, and the specification list reflects a consistent level of finish. The kitchen is fully integrated with premium appliances and forms part of the open-plan living space; the four bathrooms include designer fittings, suspended toilets and double showers, and the bathrooms add underfloor heating. Doors are lacquered flush-to-wall (filomuro) units, which sit level with the wall surface and contribute to a clean interior line. Lighting is indirect in places, and the blinds are electric, a detail that simplifies daily use of the south-facing glazing. Climate control combines hot and cold air conditioning with central heating, giving the resident separate systems for summer cooling and winter warmth; the underfloor heating in the bathrooms adds comfort during the cooler months, when average temperatures fall to around 12°C. The flooring shown in the interior photographs includes marble-look surfaces in circulation areas. The separate utility room houses machinery, keeping technical installations separate from living space. Beyond the front door, the building dates from 2002, so the structure and common areas reflect that period, while the interior reflects current standards. Two parking spaces are included: one private garage space and one within the urbanisation's parking area. The building has a lift. The 20 m² covered terrace is fitted as an extension of the living space, usable in varied weather because of the covering. In practical terms, the specification is above the level typically found in unrenovated 2002 stock on this stretch of coast, and the renovation appears comprehensive rather than cosmetic.
The asking price is fixed at €659,000 for the property as a whole; this is an existing home, not a development with a price list, so there is no range of unit prices. For context, comparable new-build projects in the wider region start from considerably lower figures, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, though those are smaller or differently positioned products. The price here reflects the renovation standard, the four bathrooms and the inclusion of two parking spaces. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
The daily rhythm in this apartment revolves around its south-facing orientation and open-plan layout. The living room and integrated kitchen form one continuous space, which in practice means the cook remains part of conversation and the terrace doors connect the interior to a 20 m² covered outdoor area with sea views. Because the terrace faces south, it receives sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, suitable for meals outside for much of the year. Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, which reduces morning congestion in a household of several people or when guests stay over. The separate utility room keeps laundry equipment and technical installations out of sight. The surrounding urbanisation includes a communal pool and a lift, which affects everyday practicality: groceries and shopping trips end at the building entrance rather than a lengthy climb. Local amenities within two kilometres include over twenty restaurants and a similar number of pharmacies, so daily errands do not require long journeys. Public transport runs on four lines with 22 stops in the area, and a train station sits roughly 0.8 km away as the crow flies, which gives residents alternatives to the car for some trips. The flat terrain towards the beach, with an average gradient of about 1.1%, makes walking and cycling realistic options for anyone who enjoys an evening stroll along the coast. In summary, the home suits a household that wants a turnkey interior with modern installations in a location that supports both quiet residential living and access to coastal leisure.
Life around the property is shaped by a residential setting with an unusually dense amenity base within two kilometres: 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 cafés, alongside 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the broader area. For families, the presence of schools within reach distinguishes this location from more remote coastal urbanisations. Healthcare is covered by two health centres nearby. Distances are straight-line, so actual road distances will be longer. The nearest beach, Playa de la Misericordia, lies about 3.0 km away, with Playa Sacaba at 3.4 km and Playa de San Andrés at 3.5 km. Sports facilities are close: a football pitch and a petanca court sit about 0.6 km away, and another football field roughly 1.1 km from the property. The gradient towards the coast averages around 1.1%, meaning the walk or cycle ride to the sea is essentially flat, which broadens the appeal for older residents and families with children. The train station at Los Prados, approximately 0.8 km as the crow flies, connects the area to the regional rail network, and 22 public transport stops across 4 lines provide bus coverage. The tourism footprint is substantial, 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 beds, which means the area is busier in the summer season and quieter outside it. Housing transactions in the area total around 3,163 per year, indicating an active resale market.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to the coast, the A-7 corridor and the surrounding amenities. Beaches lie about 3 km to the south, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 4 km away, and golf courses and marinas within a 5 to 8 km band. Distances shown are straight-line; actual travel distances by road are longer.

Positionally, the property sits close to Málaga city and its airport while being marketed within the New Golden Mile corridor between Estepona and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The area data, hotels, beaches, train stations and the airport at roughly 4 km, indicates an urbanised coastal zone with full infrastructure rather than an isolated resort. Within the regional context, the location trades the quiet of inland white villages for connectivity: airport, rail and motorway links are all close. Compared with quieter stretches further west towards Estepona, daily convenience here is higher and tourist density in summer correspondingly greater.
Accessibility is one of the stronger points of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 4 km away in a straight line, an exceptionally short distance by coastal standards; actual driving time will be longer and depends on traffic. Gibraltar Airport is about 100 km away and Alicante-Elche roughly 387 km. Beach access requires a short trip: the nearest beach is about 3.0 km as the crow flies, and the flat terrain makes this a comfortable cycle or walk. Golfers can reach three courses within roughly 8 km: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 5.2 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 5.4 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 7.8 km. Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo, sit slightly over 5 km away. Electric-vehicle charging points are available within 1.6 to 1.8 km, including at two hotels. Public transport consists of four lines with 22 stops, and three train stations lie within about 1.6 km. A car remains useful, but the household is not wholly dependent on one.

The climate data places this location firmly in the Mediterranean pattern. Average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 27°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.7°C, warm enough that outdoor living on the south terrace is feasible for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs about four months, which frames expectations realistically: sea swimming is a summer activity rather than an all-year one. The elevation of 37 metres above sea level is low and, combined with the 1.1% average gradient to the beach, means the terrain is effectively flat. Rainfall concentrates outside the summer months; the area records around 32 local public holidays per year, many tied to regional traditions, which affects shop opening hours occasionally. For residents, the practical reading is simple: warm dry summers, mild winters where the central heating and underfloor bathroom heating earn their place, and a landscape that supports walking and cycling without steep climbs.

Beach and recreation options within a short radius are varied. Three beaches lie between 3.0 and 3.5 km away as the crow flies: Playa de la Misericordia, Playa Sacaba and Playa de San Andrés. Given the flat approach, these are reachable on foot or by bicycle as well as by car. For golf, three courses sit within roughly 8 km, spanning from the 9-hole-style Parador course to larger layouts, which suits regular players who want variety without long drives. Two marinas at about 5 km each cover mooring, waterfront dining and boat-related leisure. Everyday recreation is closer still: a football pitch and petanca court at 0.6 km function as neighbourhood facilities where local leagues and informal games take place. Several viewpoints within 3 to 5 km, including Mirador Torre del Atabal at 3.2 km and Observatorio de Aves Marinas at 4.5 km, a seabird observation point, offer walking destinations with a purpose. The communal pool within the urbanisation covers daily swimming without leaving the complex.

Against comparable projects in the region, this apartment occupies a different segment from the new-build alternatives listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are off-plan or newly delivered developments where the buyer purchases from a price list; the fixed €659,000 asking price here reflects an existing, completed home with a turnkey renovation already carried out. That distinction matters practically. A buyer at one of the new-build projects accepts a delivery schedule and specification risk in exchange for a lower entry price; the buyer here pays more per square metre, roughly €4,393, but receives a finished interior with three en-suite bathrooms, four bathrooms in total, underfloor bathroom heating and two parking spaces, available immediately. Locationally, the comparison also splits. Torre del Mar and eastern Mijas sit on the Axarquía and western sides of Málaga respectively, further from the airport than this property, which lies roughly 4 km from Málaga-Costa del Sol as the crow flies, a distance very few Costa del Sol properties can match. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona sits further west, closer to the New Golden Mile's leisure belt of Laguna Village and the Selwo area, but roughly an hour by car from the airport. This apartment therefore trades the polished common areas of a new development for proximity to transport infrastructure and a finished, higher-specification interior. Within its immediate market, the area records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, an active volume that supports resale liquidity. Buyers weighing the options should treat the price gap not as a premium for the same product but as the cost of immediacy, bathroom capacity and airport access.
