This listing concerns a 59 m² commercial premises with a functioning bar, situated in Fuengirola Marina on the Costa del Sol, Málaga province. The unit includes a smoke extraction system and an outdoor terrace of approximately 50 m², and is offered fully furnished at €130,000, excluding taxes and fees. The premises stand roughly 400 metres from Playa de San Francisco and about 500 metres from Fuengirola railway station. The property dates from 1986 and is in good condition. The transfer (traspaso) of the operating bar business is available separately at €33,000, with rent of €1,450 per month. The location records high pedestrian footfall throughout the year.
Within the regional context, this listing belongs to a different asset class from the surrounding residential developments. Comparable projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) are new-build residential schemes, whereas this is a 1986 commercial unit with an operating hospitality business. The €130,000 entry price is below all three residential benchmarks, but the buyer acquires trading infrastructure rather than living space. Locationally, Fuengirola holds a stronger position than Torre del Mar and Estepona in terms of transport: the C-1 rail link to Málaga and the airport, plus 14 bus lines, give the town year-round connectivity that the western Costa del Sol largely lacks. Against Marbella, 24 km west, Fuengirola offers a higher-volume, lower-price tourist economy, relevant for a mid-market bar business dependent on footfall rather than premium spend. Municipal data support the commercial case: 2,391 property transactions recorded locally, four Blue Flag beaches, a resident base of 85,211 and roughly 8,085 hotel beds. The main countervailing factor is competition density: 217 restaurants and 64 cafés within two kilometres mean the business must retain its clientele in a saturated market, and the €1,450 monthly rent plus transfer fee structure means total acquisition costs and running obligations should be modelled against verifiable turnover figures before commitment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The premises are located within Fuengirola Marina, an established commercial and leisure area on the central Costa del Sol coastline. Three beaches lie within 700 metres, and the municipal train station is approximately 500 metres away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 18 km distant. The surrounding area contains 217 restaurants and 64 cafés within a two-kilometre radius, indicating a dense hospitality economy.
This is not a residential property. It functions as a commercial hospitality unit with two bathrooms, a bar, seating areas and an outdoor terrace. The functional need it serves is business operation: food and drink service in a high-traffic tourist district. There are no bedrooms, kitchen-dining arrangements or private living spaces. Buyers seeking a dwelling should consider residential listings instead.
The building was completed in 1986 and the premises are delivered in good, turnkey condition. There is no construction phase, no planning risk and no delivery schedule to monitor. The property is immediately usable, currently operating as a bar with equipment, furniture and fittings in place. The stated completion date of 1986 is indicative and should be verified against the notarial records.
The premises offer no private parking, no garden, no swimming pool and no residential use rights. The interior is 59 m², which limits large-scale kitchen operations, and the terrace of roughly 50 m² is outdoor space subject to municipal terrace licensing. Ownership of the premises does not automatically include the business transfer, which is priced separately. No energy performance certificate data has been supplied.
This property fits a buyer intending to operate a hospitality business personally, either as an owner-operator taking over an established bar or as an investor letting the unit to a tenant operator. It also suits buyers seeking a commercial freehold in a tourist town with a documented year-round population base, rather than a seasonal resort. Relevant buyer situations include: an experienced bar or restaurant operator relocating to the Costa del Sol; an investor diversifying from residential property into commercial units with terrace income potential; or a buyer combining the premises purchase with the €33,000 transfer to acquire a running business with existing clientele and equipment. It does not suit buyers seeking a home, a holiday apartment or passive residential rental income. Buyers without hospitality experience should note that the business value depends on active management, seasonal demand patterns and lease terms if the transfer is taken. The flat terrain, station proximity and dense local amenity base reduce operational friction, but staffing, licensing renewals and municipal terrace regulations remain operational responsibilities.
The premises are delivered fully furnished and in good condition, with a bar counter, bottle display and stool seating visible in the available photography. Two bathrooms are installed within the 59 m² interior. The smoke extraction system is a functional feature that supports cooked-food service and is a prerequisite for many restaurant licences in Andalusia. Utilities connected include electricity and drinkable water; WiFi is present. The building fabric dates from 1986, meaning that systems, wiring and plumbing are of that era unless subsequently renewed, this should be verified through technical due diligence, as no refurbishment records have been supplied. No energy performance certificate rating has been provided, which is not unusual for commercial premises of this age but should be clarified before purchase. The terrace, approximately 50 m², is equipped with outdoor seating and planting. Its commercial usability depends on the municipal terrace licence in force, its duration and its renewal terms. Parking is open street parking; there is no allocated space. Buyers should commission an independent survey covering electrical capacity, extraction ducting condition and bathroom compliance with current hospitality regulations.
The asking price is €130,000 for the freehold premises, excluding taxes and fees. Purchase costs add approximately €9,100 in Property Transfer Tax (ITP at 7 per cent), notary fees of €390, €650 and registry fees of €130, €390. The business transfer is available separately at €33,000, with monthly rent of €1,450 under a lease arrangement. Compared with residential new-build projects in the wider region, which start from roughly €205,000, the entry price is lower, but the asset class, return profile and legal framework differ substantially. Terrace licensing terms and current turnover figures should be requested before any valuation judgement.
The unit operates as a bar-lounge with indoor seating and an outdoor terrace area with planting, positioned along the marina walkway of Fuengirola. Daily use revolves around hospitality service: morning coffees for local residents, afternoon trade from beach visitors between Playa de San Francisco and Playa de Santa Amalia, and evening custom from the marina and town centre. The smoke ventilation system permits hot food preparation on site, and the on-site restaurant feature indicates an existing kitchen setup. Fuengirola supports this activity with a resident population of roughly 85,000 and a hotel stock of 25 establishments providing about 8,000 beds, which sustains demand outside the summer months, though volumes remain seasonal. Practical operating conditions are favourable: a supermarket lies 112 metres away, a pharmacy 370 metres, and an electric vehicle charging point 92 metres from the door. The terrain is flat, with a gradient of 2.8 per cent toward the sea, which matters for deliveries and terrace use. Winters remain mild at an average annual temperature of 18.7°C, allowing year-round terrace service, one of the main commercial assets of the unit. The two bathrooms reduce reliance on shared facilities and support licensing requirements for capacity. The immediate surroundings are urban and busy rather than quiet; this is a commercial district where noise, foot traffic and evening activity are inherent characteristics.
The marina district of Fuengirola functions as a year-round commercial hub rather than a summer-only resort zone. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 37 pharmacies and 27 bank branches, a density that confirms both competition and customer draw. The nearest supermarket is 112 metres away and a pharmacy 370 metres, which simplifies daily restocking. Fuengirola railway station, 500 metres from the premises, connects along the C-1 line to Málaga city and the airport, supporting both staff commutes and customer access; 14 public transport lines and 33 stops serve the municipality. Healthcare access includes three health centres in the town and a hospital 8.5 km away. Sports facilities are unusually dense, with 269 facilities recorded municipality-wide, including Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola at 500 metres and Piscina María Peláez at 500 metres. The area is urban and lively; quietness is not a characteristic of this location, and trading patterns reflect that footfall.
The map shows the premises within Fuengirola Marina, on the Mediterranean coast of southern Spain. The position between the marina and the town's beaches is central to this listing's value: three beaches within 700 metres, the train station at 500 metres, and the dense commercial strip of a working Andalusian coastal town all around it.
