Situated within the urban expanse of Fuengirola, this detached villa offers residential accommodation in a central coastal setting. The property comprises five bedrooms across 312 square metres of living space, positioned 658 metres from the shoreline. Constructed circa 2000, the structure features views towards the sea and the local landmark of Castillo Sohail. The 466-square-metre plot includes a private pool and a guest apartment. The location provides immediate access to municipal amenities and transport links, characteristic of the Costa del Sol central coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in a consolidated urban area of Fuengirola, positioned less than 700 metres from the coastline. It lies within close proximity to the Castillo Sohail monument and the marina. The surrounding area is fully developed with residential and commercial infrastructure, offering pedestrian access to local services and the train station.
The layout addresses the requirement for multi-generational living or hosting capacity through the inclusion of a separate lower-level apartment. The distribution of five bedrooms and six bathrooms accommodates larger households. Recent renovations to the kitchen and the addition of a sauna cater to modern comfort preferences. The outdoor space is configured for low-maintenance living.
This is a resale property completed approximately in the year 2000. The structure is established, with recent updates including kitchen modernisation and the installation of a new sauna. The building requires no construction phase, offering immediate occupancy. The status is classified as ready for habitation without development delays.
The villa does not offer expansive agricultural land or extensive privacy due to its urban context and surrounding neighbours. It is not a frontline beach property, with a road and other buildings situated between the plot and the sea. The plot size of 466 square metres does not facilitate a large garden or extensive sports facilities beyond the private pool.
This property suits households requiring substantial accommodation within an urban, walkable location. It is appropriate for families with older children or multi-generational families who value the separation provided by the guest apartment. The layout is also relevant for owners seeking rental income, as the lower level can function independently. The proximity to international schools and healthcare centres makes it a viable option for those relocating permanently with dependents. Furthermore, it serves buyers who prefer a finished product ready for immediate use rather than the waiting times associated with new builds. It is less suitable for those seeking seclusion or a rural environment, as the setting is distinctly urban and central. The property fits profiles looking for a base that offers both residential comfort and the convenience of city infrastructure, including public transport links to Málaga and Marbella.
The property features a renovated kitchen with contemporary fittings, indicating updates to the original 2000 infrastructure. Bathrooms are described as contemporary, with glass-enclosed showers evident in the documentation. The inclusion of a brand-new sauna suggests an investment in wellness facilities. Flooring and finishes appear to be selected for durability and modern aesthetics. Externally, the terrace areas are designed for outdoor living with low maintenance in mind. The existence of a guest apartment with a fully equipped kitchen adds a layer of functional completeness. While the original structure dates back to the turn of the century, the presence of air conditioning and modern appliances addresses current climate control standards. The pool area provides private recreational space within the perimeter. The overall condition reflects a maintained property with specific upgrades to key living areas.
The listed price is €1,290,000. This figure positions the property at the higher end of the local market for detached villas, influenced by the plot size and sea views. When compared to nearby developments such as Residencial Molino del Viento or Core Higueron, this price reflects the premium for a standalone detached structure rather than an apartment or townhouse. Prices in this area vary significantly based on the distance to the beach and the condition of the property. Given the renovations, the asking price accounts for the modernised interior and the additional guest facility. Transaction costs and taxes would apply on top of this purchase price.
The property functions as a permanent residence in a high-density urban environment. The daily rhythm here is defined by proximity to the sea and the city. Mornings can be spent walking to the nearby promenade or accessing local supermarkets just over 100 metres away. The flat terrain facilitates easy mobility, whether on foot or by bicycle, to reach the marina or the train station for regional travel. The presence of a separate apartment on the lower level allows for distinct living zones, potentially separating family sleeping quarters from daytime entertainment areas or guest accommodation. Evenings involve dining on the terrace with views over the illuminated castle and the bay. The location implies a lifestyle where a car is optional for daily errands but useful for exploring the broader region. The atmosphere is one of established community living, with the sounds of the city and the proximity to the main coastal road (N-340) audible, reflecting the central position in Fuengirola.
The environment is characterised by high density and comprehensive infrastructure. The villa is situated within a few minutes' walk of the Fuengirola train station, connecting to Málaga Airport and Marbella. The A-7 motorway and N-340 coastal road are easily accessible, facilitating vehicle travel along the coast. The immediate vicinity contains a high concentration of restaurants, cafes, and banks. Several health centres and the local hospital are within a short drive. Education facilities are numerous, with over ten primary and secondary schools in the municipality. The urban layout is flat, promoting accessibility. The nearby marina and port add a maritime character to the area, offering additional dining and leisure options. This is not a secluded rural enclave but a fully integrated part of the Fuengirola municipality, where residential, commercial, and leisure zones overlap.
The map highlights the property's position in the central sector of Fuengirola, adjacent to the coastline and Castillo Sohail. It illustrates the proximity to the main N-340 road and the train line. The surrounding area shows a dense urban layout with green zones marking the golf courses to the north and the blue expanse of the Mediterranean to the south.

Compared to the Residencial Molino del Viento, which starts at €970,000, this villa commands a higher price point, reflecting its detached status and larger plot size rather than the townhouse or semi-detached configurations often found in such developments. The Core Higueron project, priced from €1,149,900, offers a luxury hotel-style lifestyle with communal services, whereas this villa provides private, self-contained facilities without service charges associated with hotel complexes. Unlike the hills of Mijas or Benahavís where properties often require car dependence for every errand, this location offers pedestrian-level access to amenities. However, projects further west like The Kos offer newer builds (post-2020) compared to this 2000 construction, meaning this property competes on space, location, and renovation rather than build age. The urban density here is higher than in the urbanisations of Nueva Andalucía, meaning less exclusivity but superior convenience regarding transport and immediate services.
