Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in Fuengirola, positioned between the sea and the urban infrastructure. It sits within a developed residential area close to the A-7 motorway, providing access to Málaga and Marbella. The immediate vicinity includes commercial zones and residential blocks. The terrain is relatively flat at 14 metres above sea level.
The layout addresses the need for permanent or temporary residence with a focus on indoor-outdoor living. The floor-to-ceiling windows facilitate natural light, while the terrace serves as an extension of the living space. The inclusion of underfloor heating and air conditioning provides climate control throughout the year.
The construction was completed in 2024, placing the property in the new-build category without the wait times associated with off-plan purchases. The complex includes modern technical installations such as a smart home automation system and pre-installation for electric vehicle charging.
The property is situated in an urbanisation, meaning proximity to neighbours and shared facilities. The location is not secluded; it is part of a denser coastal zone. The specific apartment does not include a private garden, relying instead on communal outdoor areas. Access to the beach requires a short walk or the use of the shuttle service.

This residence suits households seeking a turnkey solution without renovation requirements. It fits those prioritising amenities over privacy, as the complex provides extensive communal services. It is appropriate for users who intend to use the property year-round, given the climate control installations, or as a high-standard seasonal base. The layout accommodates a family requiring three bedrooms. The location benefits those who travel frequently, given the 18-kilometre distance to Málaga Airport. It is less suited for those requiring isolation or extensive private land, as the setting is communal and urban.
The specification includes technical features aimed at efficiency and comfort. Underfloor heating is installed, a feature not standard in all resale properties on the coast. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, including an American-style refrigerator and a wine climate cabinet. Windows are designed to be floor-to-ceiling, maximising natural light. The flooring and bathroom fittings are selected for a contemporary aesthetic. The building envelope is designed to meet current energy efficiency standards, with pre-installation for electric vehicle charging in the parking area. The smart home system allows for remote control of lighting and climate.
The asking price is set at €975,000. This positions the property at a premium level within the local market, reflecting the size of 130 square metres and the completion date. Prices in this development generally vary based on floor level and specific sea view orientation. Additional costs such as community fees and IBI (property tax) apply.
Daily life here is characterised by convenience and access to facilities. Residents can walk to supermarkets and pharmacies within minutes. The proximity to the train station connects Fuengirola to Málaga in under an hour. The presence of the sports club within the development offers a routine for fitness without commuting. Evenings can be spent on the terrace, utilising the south-facing position to capture the evening sun. The urban environment means that services are constant, but it also implies a level of ambient noise typical of a busy coastal town. The shuttle service mitigates the need for a car for specific trips to the port or beach.
The environment is defined by its urban density and coastal proximity. Fuengirola offers a high concentration of services, with over 200 restaurants within a two-kilometre radius. The infrastructure includes the train terminal, which links the town to the broader region. Road access via the A-7 is immediate, facilitating travel to Marbella or Málaga. The area is populated year-round, supported by a local population of over 85,000, which ensures that amenities remain operational outside the summer months.
The map shows the position of the development on the coastal strip. The A-7 motorway runs parallel to the coast, providing the main arterial route. The urban expansion of Fuengirola is visible, contrasting with the natural terrain of the Mijas mountain range to the north. The proximity to the coastline is a defining feature.

This specific apartment competes on the basis of its turnkey readiness and the extensive amenities of the West 217 club. Unlike more inland developments in Mijas, this location offers direct urban walkability.
