This fully renovated apartment is situated in Los Boliches, a coastal district of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, approximately 100 metres as the crow flies from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal. The property offers 117 m² of built space arranged over two levels, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living and dining area, a modern kitchen, air conditioning and a private parking space. Built in 1988 and recently refurbished, the home is key-ready. Fuengirola's promenade, train connections and a wide range of amenities are within walking distance, while Málaga and Marbella both lie around 25 kilometres away.
Within the wider Costa del Sol and adjacent coastal markets, this property occupies a specific niche: a renovated resale apartment in a beachside urban district, priced at a fixed €509,000. Set against new-build alternatives, the entry prices elsewhere are lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €321,000, but those projects offer new construction of varying typologies, generally further from the shoreline. What this apartment offers in exchange is positional: a second-line beach location roughly 100 metres from the sand, walking access to Fuengirola's promenade, and a train station within about 300 metres connecting to the coastal line towards Málaga. That rail connection is a meaningful differentiator against hillside and inland new-build developments in Mijas and Estepona, where daily life is largely car-dependent. The two-level layout with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a self-contained upper floor, is also uncommon at this price point in the immediate Fuengirola beachfront stock, where single-level apartments dominate. Offsetting this are the points inherent to an older building: a 1988 construction date means the structural fabric, façade and communal areas predate the interior renovation, and there is no private pool or garden, only a communal pool and mountain, garden and pool views rather than sea views. The local transaction volume of roughly 2,169 sales per year indicates a liquid resale market, which matters for buyers weighing future exit options. In regional terms, the choice comes down to new-build specification and lower entry cost further from the shore versus renovated, immediately available space directly behind the beach in an established district with year-round services.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in the second line of the beach in Los Boliches, roughly 100 metres from the sand and a short walk from Fuengirola's seafront promenade. Torreblanca train station is about 300 metres away, and the area counts restaurants, pharmacies, banks and cafés within a two-kilometre radius, making daily errands feasible on foot.
With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two separate living levels, the layout supports family occupancy as well as guest accommodation, a home office or a hobbies room. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning, a lift in the building and a private parking space cover the practical needs of year-round coastal living.
This is not new construction. The building dates from 1988 and the apartment has since been completely renovated with contemporary finishes, presented in key-ready condition. The asking price of €509,000 is a fixed price for the existing home as offered; no development phases or delivery schedules apply.
The property has no private garden or private pool; outdoor bathing relies on the communal pool and the nearby beach. There is no sea view, the listed views are of the mountains, the communal garden and the pool. With a completed 1988 building, buyers should account for the age of the structure despite the interior renovation.
This property suits buyers who prioritise proximity to the beach and everyday services over space, silence or new-build guarantees. Recognisable situations include a family needing four bedrooms and three bathrooms within a walkable neighbourhood close to schools, 15 primary and 10 secondary schools are located in the wider area, or a couple planning for visiting children and grandchildren who would use the independent upper level as guest accommodation. Remote workers may find the second living area workable as a dedicated office, with the coastal train line providing access to Málaga. Buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home also fit the profile: the communal pool and the beach replace the maintenance burden of a private garden, and the included parking space simplifies seasonal arrivals and departures. The property is less obviously suited to those wanting panoramic sea views, a private plot or a quiet residential setting away from tourist flows. The immediate area is beachside and urban, with the associated summer activity. Buyers who place heavy weight on modern energy performance may also wish to weigh the 1988 construction date, even though the interior has been renovated throughout with new installations and finishes.
The apartment has been completely renovated, and the photographic record indicates a contemporary, minimalist finish: an open-plan kitchen integrated with the living area, white walls and built-in storage, a modern bathroom with walk-in shower, and bedrooms equipped with air conditioning units. Climate control is covered by installed hot and cold air conditioning, with pre-installation for additional A/C capacity, which matters for comfort during the July and August peak, when average monthly temperatures reach around 26°C. Fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms reduce the need for additional furniture purchases. The building includes a lift, which combined with the two-level interior means the upper floor is reached internally rather than via a further communal staircase. As is standard for a 1988 building with a later renovation, the visible finish quality and the interior installations reflect the refurbishment, while structural elements, the façade and communal areas correspond to the original construction period. Buyers carrying out technical due diligence may wish to verify the condition of the roof, plumbing risers and communal elements through a standard building survey. The included parking space adds practical value in a district where street parking is under pressure, particularly in the summer months when tourist traffic is at its height.
The asking price is a fixed €509,000 for this existing, key-ready apartment, not a starting price from which options vary. For context, comparable new-build projects in the wider region start at lower 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. Those figures concern new construction of varying sizes, however, whereas this property offers a renovated four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with parking roughly 100 metres from the beach. The local market registers around 2,169 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market in the area.
Daily life at this address revolves around the short distance to the sea. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is about 100 metres away as the crow flies, and Playa de los Boliches lies some 1.3 kilometres further along the coast, so an early swim or an evening walk on the promenade requires no car. The apartment itself is arranged over two levels: the main floor holds three bedrooms, two bathrooms, the living and dining area and the kitchen, while the upper level adds a fourth bedroom, a third bathroom and a second living space. That secondary level can function independently, as guest quarters, a children's playroom, a study or a cinema corner, which is a relatively rare configuration in this segment of the Fuengirola market. The district itself is urban and lively rather than secluded. Within two kilometres there are 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies and 7 banks, so groceries, dining and services are all within easy reach. With 29 hotels and nearly 9,400 tourist beds in the area, summer months bring noticeably more visitors, while the off-season is calmer but remains active thanks to the year-round resident population. A private parking space is included, which is a practical asset given the demand for parking near the seafront. The train stations at Torreblanca, Los Boliches and Carvajal connect the district along the coastal line towards Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga, reducing dependence on a car for many trips.
The immediate surroundings are those of a consolidated beachside district. The beach is effectively on the doorstep at roughly 100 metres as the crow flies, with two further beaches, Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca, about 1.3 kilometres away. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, lies 2.6 kilometres along the coast and combines moorings with leisure and dining. Everyday infrastructure is dense: within two kilometres the area counts 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists, so most daily needs are met on foot. Healthcare is covered by 3 health centres in the area, and education by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools. Torreblanca train station is about 300 metres from the property, with Los Boliches and Carvajal stations at 1.2 and 1.3 kilometres respectively, giving direct access to the Fuengirola, Málaga commuter line. Eight bus lines and 50 stops serve the district. The flat terrain, the area sits at roughly 5 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of about 1 per cent, makes the whole neighbourhood walkable and cyclist-friendly without significant climbs.
The map shows the property's position in the second line of the beach in Los Boliches, with Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal about 100 metres away and the train line running just behind the district. Málaga and Marbella sit roughly equidistant at around 25 kilometres, and the airport lies approximately 16 kilometres to the north-east.

Los Boliches occupies a position on the central Costa del Sol between Fuengirola's town centre and the beach district of Torreblanca. Málaga, the regional capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, and Marbella, with about 148,000, both lie around 25 kilometres away in opposite directions, placing the property between the two principal urban anchors of the western coast. Algeciras, at 88 kilometres, marks the south-western limit of practical reach. Within this corridor, the district combines direct beach access with rail connectivity, a combination less common in developments set back from the shore or in car-dependent hillside locations.
Distances in this section are straight-line (as the crow flies); road distances are longer. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 16 kilometres away, making airport access short and straightforward on the coastal route. Málaga city and Marbella are both around 25 kilometres distant in opposite directions, so both urban centres are realistic day-trip destinations by car or train. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 81 kilometres to the south-west. Beach access is the standout feature: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is about 100 metres away. Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos at 5.6 kilometres, with Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt and Campo Los Olivos around 6.1 kilometres away. A Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola at 2.2 kilometres serves electric vehicles. Sports facilities nearby include Karting Mijas at 1.6 kilometres, Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club at 1.8 kilometres and Mijas Lawn Bowls Club at 2.2 kilometres. Public swimming is available at Piscina María Peláez, 2.4 kilometres away. Public transport is a genuine alternative to the car here, with three train stations within 1.3 kilometres and 50 bus stops across 8 lines.

The climate data supports near year-round outdoor use. The average annual temperature is 18.7°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in the warmest, and the swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, extends to five months. The terrain is essentially flat: elevation is around 5 metres above sea level and the gradient towards the beach is about 1 per cent, so walking to the sea involves no climb. While the immediate setting is urban, green and mountain scenery is visible from the property, with mountain views listed among the features. Two viewpoints in the wider area, Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 4.7 kilometres and Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 4.9 kilometres, offer elevated outlooks over the coast. The orientation of the property combines east and south-west aspects, providing morning sun on one side and afternoon and evening light on the other, relevant both for terrace use and for natural cooling strategies in summer.

Beach access is the defining recreational asset: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies about 100 metres from the front door, with Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca roughly 1.3 kilometres along the shore. The Fuengirola promenade connects these beaches and functions as the district's main recreational artery for walking, running and cycling. The communal pool within the complex offers an alternative to the sea during the cooler months, and Piscina María Peláez at 2.4 kilometres adds a public option. Sports provision within a short radius includes Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club at 1.8 kilometres, Mijas Lawn Bowls Club at 2.2 kilometres and Karting Mijas at 1.6 kilometres. Golfers have Campo Los Lagos at 5.6 kilometres and two further courses around 6.1 kilometres away in Benalmádena. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, 2.6 kilometres away, rounds off the water-side offer with berths and waterfront dining. The area's tourism infrastructure, 29 hotels and roughly 9,400 beds, also sustains a year-round supply of restaurants and entertainment that remains active outside the high season.
