This completed duplex penthouse sits in the New Golden Mile area west of Málaga city, a consolidated urban district within easy reach of the coast. The 136 m² property, built in 1997 and recently renovated, offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, with a south-facing main floor and a master suite upstairs surrounded by approximately 200 m² of open terraces. The neighbourhood combines walkable access to shops, pharmacies and public transport with proximity to several beaches and Málaga Airport. Airports, hospitals and sports facilities lie within a short drive, making this a practical urban-coastal base.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies in an established urban district west of Málaga's centre, roughly 3 km from Playa de la Misericordia and about 4 km in a straight line from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. Shops sit within 100 metres, a hospital within 650 metres, and two Cercanías train stations are under 1.6 km away. The terrain is flat, with a gentle 1.1% slope towards the coast.
The layout suits households needing three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an upper-level master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. The open-plan kitchen and living area connects to a terrace, while the upper level provides nearly 200 m² of outdoor space. Air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, a utility room and marble flooring are present. Communal pools and landscaped gardens form part of the complex.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 1997 and the apartment has since been renovated, with the condition listed as recently renovated. Delivery is immediate, as the property is finished. Interior finishes include a fully fitted kitchen, modernised bathrooms and full furnishing, which allows occupation without additional construction work.
The property does not include a private pool; only communal pool and garden facilities are available. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data. The building dates from 1997, so no new-build guarantees apply. Energy performance data is not provided. No private outdoor kitchen, gym or private garden forms part of the listing.

The property matches several recognisable situations. It suits buyers who want a renovated, move-in-ready home without construction timelines or off-plan risk, since the apartment is finished, furnished and recently modernised. It fits households that need genuine three-bedroom capacity with three bathrooms, for example, a family with teenagers who value the separate upper-level master suite, or a couple who host guests regularly. It also suits frequent travellers: at roughly four kilometres straight-line from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport and under two kilometres from a train station, commuting or short-haul travel is straightforward. Buyers seeking a car-light lifestyle will find the immediate density of shops, pharmacies and health services relevant. Conversely, buyers wanting a seafront location or a quiet residential enclave should note that the district is urban and the nearest beach lies around three kilometres away. Those seeking a new-build warranty or a private pool should also consider alternatives, as this is a 1997 building with communal facilities only. Finally, the property may interest those combining personal use with rental potential, given Málaga's year-round tourism demand, 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 beds operate nearby, although rental licensing and community rules would need verification.
The interior reflects a recent renovation programme rather than original 1997 finishes. Flooring throughout is marble, a material associated with the period but here paired with modernised elements. The bathrooms have been renewed, with walk-in showers, contemporary vanities and modern fittings visible in the photographic material. The kitchen is fully fitted and integrated into the open-plan living space. Bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the master suite adds a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. The property is sold fully furnished, reducing the practical threshold to occupancy. Climate control is provided through air conditioning. A utility room supports household management. Technical documentation on the renovation, plumbing, electrics, insulation, is not included in the available data and should be requested during due diligence. As the building dates from 1997, the envelope and communal structure are of that period; buyers prioritising current energy-performance standards should note that no energy label is provided in the dataset and that an energy certificate would be a standard part of the purchase file. The terrace construction, waterproofing and railing conditions on the upper level warrant inspection, given the surface area involved and exposure to coastal weather.
The asking price is €788,000 for the completed, furnished duplex penthouse of 136 m² with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. This is a resale property rather than an off-plan purchase, so no staged payment structure applies; the transaction follows standard Spanish resale procedure. Compared with regional new-build alternatives, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, this property is positioned at a higher price point, reflecting its renovation status, the approximately 200 m² of terraces and its urban Málaga location near the airport and city amenities.
Daily life here centres on an urban routine supported by an unusually dense network of amenities. A supermarket sits 73 metres from the door, a pharmacy 211 metres, and a hospital within 650 metres. The neighbourhood records 23 restaurants and 27 pharmacies within a two-kilometre radius, so most errands are done on foot. Four public transport lines and 22 stops serve the area, and Los Prados train station is roughly 800 metres away, connecting to Málaga city centre and the airport corridor. The flat terrain makes cycling practical. The apartment itself supports a two-tier living rhythm: the main floor holds the open-plan kitchen, living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, opening onto the terrace; the upper level is reserved for the master suite and the surrounding terrace surface. Mornings can be spent on the south-facing main terrace, evenings on the upper terraces, which face south-west and catch the late sun over the mountains, sea and communal lagoon pool. The beach is not at the doorstep but reachable within a short drive or a longer walk of around three kilometres to Playa de la Misericordia, a wide urban beach with a pedestrian promenade. Sports facilities, including football pitches and petanque courts, are within one kilometre. Schools, 19 primary and 10 secondary within the wider radius, and two health centres add to the residential character of the district.
The surrounding district functions as a residential extension of Málaga city, with the practical density that implies. Within two kilometres: 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, seven banks and four cafés, alongside a dentist and two health centres. Education provision includes 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider radius, indicating a settled family population rather than a seasonal resort zone. Public transport coverage is solid, four lines and 22 stops, and the Cercanías stations at Los Prados (0.8 km) and Guadalhorce (1.6 km) link the area to the city centre and the airport corridor. Tourism is present but not dominant: 24 hotels and roughly 6,900 beds operate in the vicinity, which supports year-round services but also means visitor traffic in high season. Sports facilities nearby include football pitches and petanque courts within a kilometre. The elevation is a modest 37 metres above sea level with flat terrain, so walking and cycling require no significant effort. An electric-vehicle charging point sits 434 metres away, with further points at nearby hotels.
The map shows the property's position west of Málaga city, between the Guadalhorce river corridor and the airport. Beaches, train stations, golf courses and the hospital appear with straight-line distances, illustrating how the district balances coastal access with urban infrastructure, a working Andalusian city neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave.

The New Golden Mile district referenced here positions the property on Málaga's western urban flank, between the city centre and the airport corridor. This places it closer to the provincial capital's cultural and commercial offer than to the resort towns of Marbella or Estepona, roughly 60 and 80 km west respectively. The trade-off is urban density against exclusivity: neighbourhood services are abundant and year-round, while the coastline of the western Costa del Sol proper lies further afield. The two marinas and the historic centre of Málaga are within a 10-15 minute drive.
Straight-line distances place the beach within about three kilometres, Playa de la Misericordia at 3.0 km, Playa Sacaba at 3.4 km and Playa de San Andrés at 3.5 km, a short drive or cycle on flat terrain. Málaga Airport is roughly four kilometres in a straight line (7.9 km by road), which places the property unusually close to both national and international connections; Gibraltar Airport is about 100 km away. Golf options within the region include Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (5.2 km straight-line), Club de Golf Málaga Parador (5.4 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (7.8 km). Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo, lie just over five kilometres away. The hospital is 642 metres from the property, and the supermarket is effectively around the corner at 73 metres.

The location records an average annual temperature of 18.7°C with seasonal averages ranging from 12°C to 27°C, a profile consistent with Málaga's Mediterranean climate moderated by coastal proximity. Historical sunshine totals reach approximately 3,888 hours per year, among the higher figures for mainland Spain. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans about four months, realistically June through September, meaning sea swimming outside that window requires tolerance for cooler water or a heated pool. The property sits at 37 metres above sea level on flat ground with a 1.1% slope towards the coast, so no stair-intensive terrain separates the home from the beaches. The upper terraces face towards the Montes de Málaga and the sea, giving views that shift between mountain ridges and coastline depending on the hour. The altitude is sufficient to avoid ground-level humidity pockets while remaining low enough for stable, mild winter conditions.

The nearest beaches are the wide urban expanses west of Málaga's centre: Playa de la Misericordia (3.0 km), Playa Sacaba (3.4 km) and Playa de San Andrés (3.5 km). These are typically broad sand-and-shingle beaches backed by chiringuitos and a long seaside promenade suited to walking, running and cycling. Further along the coast, Playa de la Malagueta (1.3 km straight-line east of the broader area reference) marks the classic city beach. Golfers have three courses within a 12-kilometre radius: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, Club de Golf Málaga Parador adjacent to the airport, and the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course at Torrequebrada direction. Sports facilities close to the property include Campo de Fútbol Los Prados (0.6 km), petanque courts (0.6 km) and another football pitch at 1.1 km. For nature excursions, viewpoints at Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km) and Observatorio de Aves Marinas (4.5 km) offer coastal birdwatching and panoramas.

Positioned at €788,000, this duplex penthouse occupies a different segment from the regional new-build comparables. 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. Those developments offer modern construction standards, energy certificates and new-build guarantees in smaller coastal-format apartments. This property, by contrast, offers an immediate, renovated product with substantially more external space, nearly 200 m² of terraces against the typical balcony or solarium of new-build units, plus a three-bedroom, three-bathroom configuration that is comparatively scarce in the modern coastal market, where two-bedroom layouts dominate entry price bands. Location also differs. The Mijas and Estepona projects sit in the resort corridor between Fuengirola and Marbella, oriented towards holiday and second-home use with quieter winter months. This property lies in a working Málaga district with 19 primary schools, two health centres and dense year-round commerce, which supports permanent residence and rental occupancy across all seasons. Airport access is markedly shorter: roughly 7.9 km by road versus typically 20-40 km for the western Costa del Sol developments. What the comparables provide instead, beaches at walking distance and contemporary building envelopes, reflects the buyer's priority between new coastal construction and renovated urban space. Buyers comparing across these options are effectively weighing terrace area, bedroom count and urban connectivity against new-build specification and a seafront setting.
