This key-ready middle-floor apartment is located in Los Boliches, a well-established district of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. The property offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and 73 m² of living space, and was completed in 1975 with a recent renovation. The asking price is fixed at €304,500 and the home is sold fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, double glazing and both a private and covered terrace. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies roughly 100 metres away as the crow flies, and the Torreblanca train station is about 300 metres from the door. The property carries a tourist licence, which is relevant for short-stay letting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the coastal district of Los Boliches, within the town of Fuengirola. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is approximately 100 metres away in a straight line, with a flat gradient of about 1% towards the shore. Torreblanca train station lies roughly 300 metres from the building, and Málaga and Marbella are each around 25 km away as the crow flies.
The home is arranged as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of 73 m² with an open-plan living and dining area and a master bedroom with wooden floors. It includes fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted kitchen, double glazing and a lift in the building. Both a private and a covered terrace provide outdoor space, and the property is delivered fully furnished.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1975 and the apartment has been recently renovated, with the interior finished to a modern standard. The property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after completion of the purchase. No further construction phases or delivery dates apply.
The apartment has one bathroom only and 73 m² of built area, which limits space for larger households. There is no mention of private parking, a storage room, a communal pool or a garden in the property data. The building dates from 1975, so the structure predates current new-build standards. No energy performance details are provided in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home within walking distance of the beach will find the 100-metre distance to Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal and the fully furnished delivery directly relevant. An investor focused on holiday letting can act on the tourist licence, combined with a location that counts 29 hotels and roughly 9,400 tourist beds in the area, evidence of sustained visitor demand. Buyers who prefer not to depend on a car benefit from the train station 300 metres away and 50 public transport stops nearby. The apartment also suits a single person or couple relocating to the coast permanently, given the year-round services, three health centres in the area and the schools within reach. It is less suitable for families needing more than two bedrooms or a second bathroom, for buyers who require private parking or communal facilities such as a pool, or for those looking for new-build construction standards, the building dates from 1975. The fixed price of €304,500 positions the property between the entry prices of new-build projects in Mijas and Estepona, which makes the comparison between a renovated resale home and off-plan new construction a central decision for this buyer profile.
The apartment was completed in 1975 and has been recently renovated, a combination that shapes both its character and its technical profile. Photographs show an open-plan living and dining space, a master bedroom with wooden floors and a modern interior finish. The listed features indicate double glazing, fitted wardrobes throughout, a fully fitted kitchen and a lift in the building. The furniture is included in the sale, which reduces the practical threshold for immediate use or letting. Outdoor space consists of a private terrace plus a covered terrace, the latter allowing use during the hotter months and in less favourable weather; the balcony in the photographs is furnished with rattan seating and includes a vertical garden element. The 73 m² built area is distributed across two bedrooms, one bathroom and the open living zone, a layout typical of the building period, with compact circulation and the bathroom serving the whole home. As a 1975 structure, the building predates current insulation and energy standards, and the renovation appears focused on interior finishing rather than on structural or thermal upgrading beyond the double glazing. Buyers assessing long-term running costs should verify the state of the communal elements, the building's maintenance history and any community fees with the seller. No details on air conditioning, heating systems or communal renovation plans are included in the available data.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €304,500. This is an existing home, not a new-build development, so no price list or unit variation applies. The property is marketed as reduced and carries an investment categorisation, partly linked to the tourist licence that permits short-stay rentals. Comparable new-build projects in the region start at lower or similar entry points: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, though these are off-plan prices for new construction rather than a turnkey, furnished resale apartment. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready and delivered fully furnished.
Daily life around this apartment takes place in a dense, fully built-up coastal neighbourhood. Los Boliches functions as an extension of Fuengirola's urban fabric rather than as a separate resort, which means shops, services and transport are integrated into the street pattern rather than concentrated in complexes. The area counts 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies and 7 banks within a two-kilometre radius, so most daily errands can be done on foot. The swimming season runs for about five months, when sea temperatures reach 20°C or more, and the beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is close enough to reach within a short walk. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood remains active year-round, supported by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area, which indicates a permanent residential population rather than a purely seasonal one. The apartment itself suits a compact household or a letting operation: two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open-plan living space and a sunny balcony with seating. The Torreblanca train station at roughly 300 metres provides a direct alternative to the car along the coast, and 8 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the area. The rhythm of the district is urban, morning coffee on the covered terrace, errands on foot, an evening stroll along the Paseo, and train connections to Fuengirola centre, Benalmádena and Málaga. Noise and activity levels are those of a town centre setting; buyers seeking quiet surroundings should weigh this against the convenience.
The immediate surroundings are urban and service-dense. Within two kilometres, the area offers 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists, which places nearly all daily needs within walking distance. Healthcare is covered by three health centres in the area. Education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, indicating a family-oriented residential base alongside the tourist economy. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies about 100 metres away in a straight line, with Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca both around 1.3 km. For sport and leisure, Karting Mijas (1.6 km), Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club (1.8 km), Mijas Lawn Bowls Club (2.2 km) and the Piscina María Peláez public pool (2.4 km) are all within easy reach. The Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is 2.6 km away. Transport is a defining strength: Torreblanca station is roughly 300 metres away, with Los Boliches (1.2 km) and Carvajal (1.3 km) as alternatives, and 8 bus lines with 50 stops serve the district. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is about 16 km away as the crow flies.
The map shows the apartment's position in Los Boliches relative to the coastline, with Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal immediately to the south and the Torreblanca train station a few hundred metres away. The markers indicate nearby beaches, golf courses, sport facilities and transport links, all measured as straight-line distances; actual travel routes may be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Los Boliches occupies a position on the western side of Fuengirola, roughly equidistant, about 25 km in a straight line, from both Málaga city to the north-east and Marbella to the west. This places the district at the practical centre of the western Costa del Sol, with Benalmádena and Torremolinas in between along the train line. The location combines the density and services of a town with direct access to the coastal transport axis, which distinguishes it from more isolated resort developments further east or west. Algeciras lies about 88 km away, at the far edge of the region.
Accessibility is one of the strongest features of this location. The Cercanías train stations at Torreblanca, Los Boliches and Carvajal connect the district directly with Fuengirola centre, Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga, including the airport stop, making a car largely optional. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport (AGP) lies approximately 16 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar airport around 81 km as an alternative for certain routes. By road, both Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants) and Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) are roughly 25 km distant in a straight line, so both are reachable for day trips or work. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is about 100 metres from the building, an effectively door-to-sea walk on a flat gradient of around 1%. Golf courses lie slightly further out: Campo Los Lagos at 5.6 km and both Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt and Campo Los Olivos at 6.1 km, all measured as the crow flies. Note that straight-line distances understate actual road distances, particularly for the inland golf courses.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol coastal profile. The average annual temperature is 18.7°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, mild winters and warm but not extreme summers. The swimming season lasts around five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or higher, roughly from late spring into early autumn. The elevation is 5 metres above sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is approximately 1%, meaning the terrain is entirely flat, no hills or stairs stand between the apartment and the shore. Viewpoints such as Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu (4.7 km) and Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón (4.9 km) offer elevated panoramas of the coastline for those who want variety. An EV charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, is 2.2 km away. The Mediterranean rhythm here favours outdoor use of the terraces for most of the year, supported by the covered terrace for the warmer midday hours.

Beach access is the central recreational asset. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies approximately 100 metres from the apartment in a straight line, while Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca are both around 1.3 km away, giving a choice of urban and semi-urban stretches of coast within a short radius. The swimming season of roughly five months defines the peak use period. Beyond the beach, the sporting infrastructure is varied: karting at Karting Mijas (1.6 km), tennis and country club facilities at Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club (1.8 km), lawn bowls at Mijas Lawn Bowls Club (2.2 km) and a public swimming pool at Piscina María Peláez (2.4 km). Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos (5.6 km), Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt (6.1 km) and Campo Los Olivos (6.1 km) within a short drive. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, 2.6 km away, adds sailing and waterfront dining options. The local tourism infrastructure, 29 hotels and around 9,400 beds, sustains a wide range of restaurants and leisure venues year-round.

Within the regional context, this apartment occupies a distinct segment of the Costa del Sol market: turnkey, furnished resale property in a consolidated urban location. The comparable new-build projects listed sit at different points on the price scale. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, both below this apartment's fixed price of €304,500, while Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts above it at €321,000. The comparison, however, is not straightforward. New-build starting prices typically apply to the smallest units in an off-plan phase, without furniture, without a tourist licence and with a delivery date some years away. This apartment, by contrast, is available immediately, fully furnished, recently renovated and licensed for short-stay letting in a district with documented visitor demand, 29 hotels and roughly 9,400 tourist beds nearby. Its location profile also differs from the comparables. Torre del Mar and Estepona are further from Málaga airport and the train corridor; Los Boliches sits directly on the Cercanías line with a station 300 metres away and the airport roughly 16 km distant in a straight line. Against new-build competition, the trade-off is clear: buyers here accept a 1975 building and 73 m² with one bathroom, in exchange for immediate availability, coastal walkability and a letting licence. The local market recorded 2,169 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment with regular liquidity. Buyers comparing options should therefore weigh turnkey usability and location against the space, standards and communal facilities that new-build projects typically offer at comparable price points.
