A key-ready, fully renovated two-bedroom apartment of 61 m² situated in the residential area of Cerros del Aguila, in the municipality of Mijas, Málaga. The property occupies a top-floor position and includes a south-facing terrace plus a large private solarium with sea and mountain views. The asking price is €349,000 and the home is sold fully furnished, with one private parking space inside a gated community. The communal pool is open year-round and a tourist licence for short-term rentals is already in place. Beaches lie approximately 3.2 km away as the crow flies, with golf courses within about 1.1 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Cerros del Aguila is a residential urbanisation between Mijas and Fuengirola, roughly 45 metres above sea level on gently sloping terrain. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.2 km away as the crow flies, while a supermarket is within about 1.2 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport sits roughly 21 km away, and Fuengirola's train station is about 3.3 km in a straight line.
The apartment offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms with underfloor heating, and an open-plan kitchen installed during a recent renovation. The south-facing terrace and the larger solarium above, reached via an external spiral staircase, provide outdoor space for most of the day. Air conditioning (hot and cold), a lift, fitted wardrobes and one private parking space within the gated community complete the functional set-up.
This is an existing home completed in 2002 and described as key-ready. A substantial renovation was carried out approximately eighteen months before listing, including a new open-plan kitchen and underfloor heating in both bathrooms. The communal pool remains open throughout the year. Delivery dates and completion information are indicative and should be verified during the purchase process.
The property measures 61 m² of living area, which is compact for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home. Orientation is listed as north, east, south and west, so part of the interior receives limited direct sun. A car is useful though not essential for every trip. Continuation of the tourist licence requires confirmation from the community administration after purchase. No private pool is present; the pool is communal.
This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance holiday home with year-round usability benefits from the compact 61 m² layout, the communal pool that stays open all year and the lift that avoids stair-climbing inside the building. Buyers wanting rental income will note the existing tourist licence, the furnished condition and the sleeping capacity of six, a combination that allows letting to start shortly after purchase, subject to administrative confirmation. Golf and padel players value the location: Cerrado del Aguila Golf is about 1.1 km away and Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila about 0.9 km. Part-year residents who prefer a residential base over a beachfront tower may find the elevated position and the views more attractive than direct seafront living, accepting the roughly 3.2 km distance to the sand. Remote workers or long-stay visitors can rely on the eight public transport lines and fifty stops for coastal trips, with Fuengirola station about 3.3 km away as the crow flies. It fits less well for buyers wanting a large interior footprint, a private pool or ground-floor access without any stairs, the solarium is reached by an external spiral staircase. For permanent residents, the presence of fifteen primary schools, ten secondary schools and three health centres in the wider area adds practical depth beyond the holiday season.
The apartment was completed in 2002 and underwent a significant renovation approximately eighteen months before listing. Documented works include a new open-plan kitchen and underfloor heating in both bathrooms, which is an uncommon comfort feature in this segment and age of building. Climate control consists of air conditioning units that provide both hot and cold air, complemented by the underfloor heating in the wet rooms. The images show a wall-mounted digital thermostat, indicating zoned or programmable temperature control. Storage is handled through fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. The outdoor areas are finished functionally: a covered terrace section adjoining the living room, a private terrace facing south, and the solarium above with its installed outdoor shower behind a wooden screen, a small but telling detail about how the previous owner used the space. A lift serves the building, and one private parking space lies within the gated community grounds, visible in the listing images. The property is sold fully furnished, including a sofa-bed that raises capacity to six sleeping places. Condition is listed as good. As with any resale purchase, an independent technical survey is advisable to verify installation ages, particularly for the heating system, air conditioning units and waterproofing of the roof terrace, since solariums require maintained membranes to stay watertight.
The asking price is a fixed €349,000 for the apartment as it stands, including furniture and one private parking space in the gated community. This is an existing home rather than a new-build phase, so there is no price list with unit variation. Recent renovations, the open-plan kitchen and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, were carried out roughly eighteen months before listing and are included in the purchase. The tourist licence transfers value to buyers considering short-term rentals, although continuation must be confirmed with the community administration. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from about €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from about €269,000, but those are smaller or differently positioned offerings without this property's solarium and licence. Availability details and viewing arrangements can be requested directly.
Daily life in this apartment centres on indoor-outdoor living. Mornings can start on the south-facing terrace off the living room, while the solarium above serves as the main outdoor room for much of the year. The outdoor shower installed on the top terrace is practical during the warmer months, when average temperatures range up to around 26°C. Because the building sits on elevated ground at about 45 metres, the top-floor position delivers open views over the sea, the hills and the green zones around Cerros del Aguila. The layout works for a couple, a small family or a group of up to six using the sofa-bed, which matters for holiday use and short-term letting alike. Shopping is straightforward: a supermarket lies about 1.2 km away and a pharmacy about 1.5 km, both within easy reach on foot or by a short drive. Ten restaurants and two cafés sit within 2 km, so dining out rarely requires planning. The nearest padel club is roughly 0.9 km away and Cerrado del Aguila Golf about 1.1 km, giving sports-focused residents options within walking or short driving distance. The area stays residential rather than touristy, with roughly 2,169 housing transactions per year indicating an active but not transient local market. Public transport is available through eight lines and around fifty stops, which reduces dependence on the car for routine trips along the coast.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with short distances to everyday services. Within 2 km there are ten restaurants, four pharmacies, three banks and two cafés, which covers most daily needs without heading into Fuengirola or La Cala de Mijas. The supermarket at about 1.2 km and the pharmacy at 1.5 km make routine shopping a short walk or drive. Healthcare is well represented: three health centres operate in the area and a hospital lies roughly 11 km away. Education options, fifteen primary and ten secondary schools, signal a year-round community rather than a seasonal one. For exercise, Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila is about 0.9 km away and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas about 2.2 km. The municipality of Mijas is also developing a large new park within walking distance of the urbanisation, which, once completed, would add substantial green space. Tourism infrastructure is substantial but concentrated toward the coast: 29 hotels with about 9,381 beds, meaning the beaches and seafront get busy in summer while Cerros del Aguila itself remains quieter. An EV charging point sits 1.4 km away and a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola roughly 7.7 km away, relevant for electric-vehicle owners.
The map shows the apartment's elevated residential position between Mijas and Fuengirola, with the beaches of Mijas Costa about 3.2 km south and three golf courses clustered within 2.4 km. Note that distances shown are straight-line; actual road routes are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cerros del Aguila occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, between the town of Mijas inland and Fuengirola on the coast. This placement gives it dual access: the beaches, marina and train line of Fuengirola within a few kilometres, and the white village character of Mijas slightly further inland. Málaga city and its airport lie to the east at about 21 km by air, while Marbella and Estepona extend westwards. The result is a practical base for exploring the whole region, roughly an hour or less separates most major destinations along the coast.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are somewhat longer. The nearest beaches, Playa Mati, Playa del Castillo and Playa El Chaparral, all lie about 3.1 to 3.2 km away, reachable by car in a few minutes or by bicycle along the flat route (average gradient roughly 1.3%). Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 21 km away, a drive of roughly twenty-five to thirty minutes. Gibraltar Airport is about 75 km away. Golf is unusually close: Cerrado del Aguila at 1.1 km, Los Lagos at 1.7 km and Los Olivos at 2.3 km. Train connections run from Fuengirola station about 3.3 km away, with Los Boliches and Torreblanca stations further along the line toward Málaga. Eight public transport lines with around fifty stops serve the area, so a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for everything. Marina access is available at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, roughly 3.9 km away, and Puerto Cabopino at about 9.1 km.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol pattern: average monthly temperatures between 14°C and 26°C, an annual average of about 18.6°C, and a swimming season of roughly five months during which sea temperature reaches at least 20°C. At 45 metres above sea level the urbanisation sits above the coastal strip, which softens summer heat slightly and produces the open views from the solarium. The terrain slopes gently, about 1.3% on average toward the beach, so walking and cycling are realistic for most residents. The nearby hillside and the planned municipal park add green surroundings, while the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, about 3.6 km away, offers a nearby destination for walks with coastal panoramas. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, so outdoor living on the terraces is practical from spring well into autumn. The outdoor shower on the solarium is directly relevant to the warm months between May and October.

Three beaches sit at roughly equal distance of about 3.1–3.2 km: Playa Mati, Playa del Castillo and Playa El Chaparral. These are the sandy stretches of the Mijas Costa and La Cala area, busy in July and August and quiet for much of the rest of the year. Golf is the strongest recreational card here, three courses within 2.4 km (Cerrado del Aguila, Los Lagos and Los Olivos) make this one of the denser golf clusters on this stretch of coast. Padel players can reach Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila on foot at about 0.9 km. Other options include Karting Experience at 2.6 km, the sports complex Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.2 km and the public pool Piscina Bellavista at 2.8 km. For maritime recreation, Fuengirola's marina lies about 3.9 km away and Cabopino about 9.1 km. The communal pool within the complex is open year-round, which extends the swimming options well beyond the five-month sea season.

Set against comparable offerings on the Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies a distinct niche. New-build projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from about €205,000), Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from about €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from about €269,000) start at lower entry prices, but those are 'from' prices for off-plan or early-phase units, typically without a solarium of this size, without furniture and without an existing tourist licence. At €349,000 as a fixed asking price, this resale property offers immediate usability: it is key-ready, recently renovated and fully furnished, which shifts the comparison from price per square metre to cost of acquisition versus readiness. The 61 m² interior is smaller than what many new-build competitors provide at similar budgets, so buyers trade interior space for a large private roof terrace with panoramic views. Locationally, Cerros del Aguila sits inland of the coastal strip at about 45 metres elevation, unlike beachfront developments in Fuengirola or Estepona. That means roughly 3.2 km to the nearest sand, a genuine consideration for beach-focused buyers, but in exchange it gains quiet, views and one of the densest golf clusters in the region with three courses within 2.4 km. Torre del Mar lies further east, about an hour from Málaga's airport by comparison, whereas this address is roughly twenty-five to thirty minutes from AGP, improving rental logistics. Local market activity of around 2,169 transactions per year in the area suggests reasonable liquidity for resale. For buyers focused on rental yield, the combination of tourist licence, six-person capacity and proximity to golf may compensate for the modest interior size; for buyers seeking space or seafront living, the new-build alternatives along the coast will likely serve better.
