A three-bedroom duplex penthouse of 124 m² in the Los Boliches district of Fuengirola, completed in 2020 and offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €925,000. The property stands on a quiet street roughly two blocks from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, within walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants and the Torreblanca train station. The building includes a heated communal pool, gym and sauna in the basement, and the sale comprises a garage space, motorcycle parking and a storage unit.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property represents a different segment from the currently advertised new-build alternatives. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all from-prices, typically for apartments of smaller scale and, in the case of Torre del Mar, a location substantially east of Málaga. At a fixed €925,000, this duplex penthouse sits well above those entry points, and the difference is explained by three factors: the 124 m² duplex format with a private rooftop section, the inclusion of a garage space and storage unit, and above all the micro-location roughly 100 metres from the beach in a consolidated, year-round district of Fuengirola. Los Boliches differs from Marbella, 25 km west, in price level and atmosphere, it is a working residential neighbourhood with schools, health centres and a local train line rather than a resort enclave. It differs from the more remote new-build zones in that no car is required for daily life here; Torreblanca station is a three-minute walk away. The trade-off is orientation and setting: a north-west-facing penthouse on an urban street, without sea views from the main living space, against hillside developments that offer vistas but depend on driving for every errand. Transaction volumes in the area, 2,169 housing transactions per year, indicate an active resale market, which matters for liquidity, while the median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the price point as firmly in the upper segment of the local market.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse sits in Los Boliches, a residential district of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies approximately 100 metres away as the crow flies, and Torreblanca train station is 0.3 km distant. Málaga city and Marbella are both around 25 km away in a straight line, with Málaga Airport approximately 16 km from the property.
The layout suits households wanting three bedrooms with the option of a fourth: the walk-in closet on the upper level could be converted. Daily needs are met on foot, with 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies and 7 banks within 2 km. Underfloor heating, air conditioning and fibre optic internet cover year-round comfort, and a private garage space removes parking concerns.
Construction was completed in 2020, so the property is delivered key-ready and has been occupied for a small number of years. The building was constructed to Scandinavian standards, including sound insulation between units and a central water-softening system. As an existing home, it is sold at a fixed asking price rather than from a price list with unit variation.
The property has a north-west orientation, which affects sun exposure on the main terrace, it receives afternoon rather than morning sun. There is no private pool; the pool, gym and sauna are shared facilities. The plot does not include a private garden, and the stated mountain views are partial rather than panoramic sea views. The living area of 124 m² is measured across two levels connected by an internal staircase.
The property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home benefits from the walkable setting, the train link and the low-maintenance layout. A small household intending to live year-round by the sea will find the underfloor heating, air conditioning and softened water relevant to winter comfort, alongside everyday infrastructure such as schools and health centres. Households with occasional guests can use the two lower bedrooms independently of the master level, since the lockable connecting door allows the floors to be separated. Buyers wanting a fourth bedroom have a conversion route via the walk-in closet, subject to usual approvals. The separate entrance to the upper floor also opens the possibility of letting one level while occupying the other, depending on community rules and licensing, a point to verify before purchase. It suits buyers who prioritise proximity to the beach and urban services over a private garden or private pool, and who accept a north-west orientation with afternoon sun on the main terrace. It is less suited to those seeking panoramic sea views, a large plot or a fully detached villa, and buyers dependent on morning sun on the terrace should weigh the orientation carefully.
The building dates from 2020 and was constructed to Scandinavian standards, a designation that in practice points to specific measures stated by the seller: sound insulation between units and a central water-softening system serving the building. The apartment is fitted with underfloor heating throughout and air conditioning, covering both seasons. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, oven, cooktop, extractor fan and wine cooler, with a kitchen island as the central element. Utility appliances are integrated rather than freestanding: the terrace houses a washing machine and tumble dryer inside a built-in cabinet. The master en-suite bathroom contains a shower, a Jacuzzi and a double vanity. An oil-burning stove has been integrated into the stairwell between the two levels, providing supplementary heat with a visible character feature. Further technical elements include fibre optic internet, electric blinds, fitted wardrobes and a lift serving the building. Practical storage is addressed in three places: a storage unit in the basement, the built-in terrace cabinet, and the walk-in closet on the upper floor. The condition is described as excellent, consistent with a property completed in 2020. Buyers verifying build quality can inspect the insulation detailing, the water-softening installation and the underfloor heating system during a viewing.
This is an existing home offered at a fixed asking price of €925,000, not a starting price from a new-build price list. The price includes the duplex penthouse of 124 m², a private garage space in the basement, a designated motorcycle parking area and a separate storage unit, plus the private portion of the rooftop terrace. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast currently advertise from-price levels starting at €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, though those concern different property types and locations. The property has been completed since 2020 and is available key-ready, meaning no construction-phase payments or delivery risk apply.
Daily life here is organised around walkability. The property stands in a flat, low-rise part of Los Boliches where the beach is effectively around the corner, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is about 100 metres away as the crow flies, on a gradient of just 1%. Mornings can begin with a walk along the paseo marítimo; groceries, cafés and pharmacies are all within a short stroll, and the Torreblanca train station at 0.3 km provides a car-free link towards Fuengirola centre, Benalmádena and Málaga. The district has an established, year-round character: 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools serve the wider area, along with three health centres, indicating a genuine residential population rather than a purely seasonal one. Tourism is present, 29 hotels and roughly 9,400 beds, but concentrated along the seafront. The penthouse itself splits living across two levels. The entrance floor holds two bedrooms, a bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen and living area opening onto the afternoon-sun terrace. The upper floor is a self-contained master suite with en-suite bathroom, Jacuzzi, walk-in closet, its own terrace and a separate entrance from the stairwell; a lockable door allows the levels to function independently. A private section of the rooftop terrace with electricity and water sits above. For residents, this means ordinary errands require no car, and the garage space in the basement is needed mainly for trips further afield.
Los Boliches functions as a residential extension of Fuengirola with its own train station 1.2 km away, while the property sits closer to Torreblanca station at 0.3 km. Fifty public transport stops and 8 lines serve the local area, and the coastal rail line runs towards both Fuengirola and Málaga, making a car optional for many trips. The immediate retail and hospitality offer is substantial for a district of this size: within 2 km there are 71 restaurants, 26 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists. Healthcare is covered by three health centres in the area, and schooling runs from 15 primary to 10 secondary schools. For sports, Karting Mijas lies 1.6 km away, Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club 1.8 km and Mijas Lawn Bowls Club 2.2 km; a public swimming pool, Piscina María Peláez, is 2.4 km distant. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Fuengirola Supercharger, 2.2 km away. The area sits at 5 m elevation with a flat gradient to the beach, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport for daily needs. The setting is urban rather than rural: neighbours, traffic and seasonal visitors are part of the picture, balanced by the quiet street on which the property is located.
The map shows the property's position in Los Boliches, close to the border with Torreblanca. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, the Torreblanca train station and the concentration of amenities around Avenida de Jesús Cautivo are all within a short walk, while Marbella, Málaga and the airport sit at the regional scale of the map.

Los Boliches occupies a position between Fuengirola's town centre and the quieter Torreblanca district, roughly midway along the Costa del Sol corridor. Málaga city and Marbella lie equidistant at about 25 km in a straight line in opposite directions, placing the property between the region's cultural capital and its most established resort town. Málaga Airport at approximately 16 km makes this one of the more accessible points on the coast for international arrivals. Compared with inland or hillside locations, the district trades elevation and views for flat terrain and immediate beach access, a compromise that shapes daily life more than any marketing description suggests.
The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is 0.1 km away as the crow flies, roughly two blocks on foot. Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca both lie 1.3 km distant. The Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is 2.6 km away by direct distance. Golf requires a short drive: Campo Los Lagos at 5.6 km, and Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt and Campo Los Olivos at around 6.1 km each. Regional cities are within easy reach: Marbella and Málaga are both approximately 25 km in a straight line, and actual road distances are longer. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 16 km away as the crow flies, making it a short transfer after a flight; Gibraltar Airport lies about 81 km distant. Train access is a defining feature of this location: Torreblanca station is 0.3 km from the door, with Los Boliches and Carvajal stations at 1.2 and 1.3 km respectively. All distances stated are straight-line figures; driving distances and times will exceed them.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 14°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7°C, a typical Costa del Sol profile of mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May or June through September or October. The elevation is 5 m above sea level and the gradient to the beach is 1.0%, meaning the terrain is flat and no hill climbs feature in daily walks to the sea. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months; the warm half of the year is largely dry, which favours terrace use and outdoor living on the property's two terraces and rooftop section. The nearby viewpoints, Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 4.7 km and Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 4.9 km, offer elevated outlooks over the coast for those wanting wider scenery, while the penthouse itself has mountain views from its position.

Three beaches sit within 1.3 km of the property. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is effectively at the end of the street at 0.1 km, while Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Torreblanca are both 1.3 km away, all reachable on foot along flat terrain. This density of coastline is the principal recreational asset of the location. Beyond swimming and beach life, the sporting infrastructure within 2 km includes Karting Mijas (1.6 km), Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club (1.8 km) and Mijas Lawn Bowls Club (2.2 km), and a public pool at 2.4 km complements the heated communal pool in the building's own basement. Golfers have three options at 5.6–6.1 km: Campo Los Lagos, Campo Los Olivos and the Benalmádena Pitch & Putt. The marina at Fuengirola, 2.6 km away, adds sailing and waterfront dining options. Within the building itself, the shared pool with sun terrace, gym and sauna reduce the need for external memberships, particularly outside the summer months when the outdoor beaches remain usable but the heated indoor facilities become the more comfortable option.
