A renovated one-bedroom townhouse in Los Pacos, Fuengirola, offered at a fixed asking price of €330,000. The property covers 68 m² of living space on a 184 m² plot, completed originally in 1970 and recently updated. It includes air conditioning, a fireplace, a private sauna with shower, a hot tub on the terrace, and a garden suited to outdoor dining. Los Pacos is an established residential neighbourhood within Fuengirola, roughly 1.1 km from the beaches of Los Boliches and Torreblanca-Carvajal as the crow flies. The property carries a valid tourist rental licence and is sold fully furnished.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Los Pacos is a residential urbanisation on the eastern side of Fuengirola, Málaga. The beaches of Playa de los Boliches and Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lie approximately 1.1 km away in a straight line. The neighbourhood sits at low elevation, around 28 metres above sea level, in a flat coastal zone. Shops, schools and public transport stops are within short walking distance, and the Cercanías train connection to Fuengirola and Málaga is nearby.
The house is designed for compact living with an emphasis on outdoor space. The covered and private terraces, garden with barbecue area, hot tub and sauna extend the usable area well beyond the 68 m² interior. Air conditioning and a fireplace cover both seasons. One bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room limit the household size to one or two people, or short-stay guests in a rental context.
This is not a new-build development. The house dates from 1970 and has been recently renovated, with key-ready status and immediate availability. The asking price is fixed at €330,000 for the existing home as presented, including furniture. Buyers should treat the 1970 construction year as a factor when assessing insulation, wiring and long-term maintenance, and have these verified during inspection.
The property offers one bedroom and 68 m² of living space, which restricts its use to singles, couples or short-term rental guests. There is no private pool, no garage and no private parking; parking is on-street and unreserved. No plot development potential has been documented beyond the existing garden. Buyers requiring multiple bedrooms, dedicated parking or a communal pool should consider these limitations.

The house fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. A single person or couple seeking a low-maintenance second home near the coast, within walking distance of the beach and daily amenities, will find the layout sufficient. Buyers focused on rental income can use the existing tourist licence, the furniture package and the sauna and hot tub as differentiating features in short-stay platforms. Long-distance owners who visit a few weeks per year benefit from the compact size, which keeps cleaning, upkeep and utility costs modest. The property is less suitable for families needing multiple bedrooms, buyers who want a private pool or garage, or those seeking new-build energy standards. Buyers intending to live permanently should also verify that one bedroom meets their longer-term needs, as extending within a townhouse row is usually restricted. Finally, buyers who dislike on-street parking or a lively urban neighbourhood with seasonal tourist traffic should factor in the character of Los Pacos during summer months, when visitor numbers in Fuengirola rise substantially given the 9,381 hotel beds registered in the area.
The house has been recently renovated and is delivered key-ready and fully furnished. Documented features include air conditioning, a fireplace, a fitted kitchen with dishwasher and oven, and two bathrooms, one of which houses a private sauna with shower. The terrace carries a new, larger hot tub, installed to a standard the seller describes as high quality, a claim buyers should verify through inspection of the electrical supply, drainage and any installation certificates. The original structure dates from 1970, meaning the load-bearing walls, roof and pipework predate modern building codes unless replaced during renovation; no documentation of a full electrical or plumbing renewal is provided. Interior images show a modern shower bathroom, a wooden sauna interior, a bedroom with a large window, and terrace and barbecue areas. Finishing observed includes tiled surfaces and modern sanitary ware. Practical points for technical due diligence: the age of the boiler and hot-water system, the electrical installation's capacity for the hot tub and sauna combination, the condition of the flat or low-pitch roof typical of 1970s townhouses, and the insulation value of the single-glazed or original window frames if not replaced. No energy performance certificate figure is stated here; request it from the seller, as it is legally required for the sale and gives an indication of heating and cooling costs.
The asking price is fixed at €330,000 for the existing home, sold fully furnished and with a valid tourist rental licence. At 68 m² of living space on a 184 m² plot, the price reflects the land, the renovation, the wellness facilities and the licence rather than the interior floor area alone, the price per square metre of living space sits well above regional averages for Fuengirola, which buyers should weigh consciously. No price list or unit variation applies. Availability is immediate, subject to negotiation and notary scheduling. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start between €205,000 and €321,000, though these are apartments in other municipalities.
This is a small townhouse in a dense, working residential neighbourhood rather than a gated resort. Daily life here is urban and practical: bakeries, pharmacies, banks and cafés sit within a few hundred metres, and the area counts 84 restaurants and 32 cafés within a 2 km radius. The house itself works around its garden and terraces. With south, east and west orientation, sunlight reaches the outdoor spaces across most of the day, and the barbecue terrace plus hot tub point towards an outdoor-centred rhythm of living, morning coffee on the terrace, afternoons in the garden, evenings in the sauna. The interior is compact: a living room with sofa bed, one bedroom, a kitchen with dishwasher and oven, and two bathrooms including the sauna and shower space. The separate wellness area is an unusual feature at this price level and effectively gives the house a second function beyond sleeping and eating. Los Pacos itself has a mixed, year-round population, including many Scandinavian residents, so the neighbourhood does not empty out in winter the way purely tourist zones do. The train station connects to Fuengirola centre and Málaga, and the beach is a walkable distance of roughly 1.1 km as the crow flies, meaning a car is not strictly necessary for daily needs.
Los Pacos functions as a self-contained neighbourhood within Fuengirola. Within 2 km there are 15 pharmacies, 7 banks, 84 restaurants, 32 cafés and 2 dental practices, which covers essentially all daily needs without a car. Education is well represented, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the same radius, and three health centres serve the area. Sports facilities are close: Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club lies 0.7 km away as the crow flies, Karting Mijas 0.8 km, and the Mijas Lawn Bowls Club 1.1 km. A public swimming pool, Piscina María Peláez, is 1.5 km away. Public transport consists of 7 lines with 50 stops in the area, and the Fuengirola Cercanías line provides rail access along the coast to Málaga. The neighbourhood is urban and moderately busy; it is not a quiet hillside zone but a lived-in district with year-round residents, international groceries and local commerce. Parking is on-street and free but unreserved, which in high season requires some patience.
The map shows the property's position in Los Pacos, on Fuengirola's eastern side. The beach line at Los Boliches lies just over a kilometre to the south, and the Mijas hills rise to the north. The neighbourhood sits on flat ground with the coastal A-7 and train line nearby, connecting west to Fuengirola centre and east towards Benalmádena.

Los Pacos sits on the eastern flank of Fuengirola, between the town centre and the border with Benalmádena and Mijas. Within the Costa del Sol, this places the property in the central coastal strip: about 16 km from Málaga Airport, 30 km from Málaga city, and within easy reach of Marbella to the west. Fuengirola is one of the coast's most urbanised municipalities, with a year-round population and a strong rental market driven by both tourism and residential demand. Compared with hillside locations in Mijas or Benalmádena, the advantage here is flat terrain and walkability; the trade-off is a denser built environment without panoramic views.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The beaches of Playa de los Boliches and Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal are both approximately 1.1 km away, with Playa de San Francisco at 1.9 km. The marina of Fuengirola, Puerto Deportivo, is 2.2 km away. For golfers, the nearest courses are Mijas Golf's Campo Los Lagos at 4.5 km and Campo Los Olivos at 5.0 km, with Cerrado del Aguila at 5.7 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 16 km away as the crow flies, a short drive, though traffic on the A-7 can extend travel time in summer. Gibraltar Airport is about 80 km and Alicante approximately 406 km away. An EV charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, sits 2.9 km from the house. Car ownership is optional rather than essential: the neighbourhood's density, public transport coverage of 7 lines and 50 stops, and the coastal train make daily life manageable without a vehicle.

The location sits at 28 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, so the property involves no hillside access or steep streets. The average annual temperature is 18.6 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 14 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer, a moderate coastal profile without the extreme summer heat of inland Andalucia. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts around four months, roughly June through September. Outside that window, sea swimming is possible for the hardy but most residents shift to walking, cycling and the sauna and hot tub at home. Rainfall concentrates in late autumn and winter; the fireplace provides supplementary heat for the cooler months, and air conditioning covers the summer. Viewpoints in the Mijas hills, such as Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 4.2 km, offer accessible nature excursions within a short drive.

The two nearest beaches, Playa de los Boliches and Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, are both roughly 1.1 km away in a direct line. Los Boliches is a long family beach with a promenade, chiringuitos and a characterful fishing-village past; Torreblanca-Carvajal to the east is somewhat quieter and popular with walkers. Playa de San Francisco lies 1.9 km away. Fuengirola's beaches hold Blue Flag status in various sections, and the town invests consistently in water quality and lifeguard services. Beyond the sand, recreation options within a few kilometres include the Puerto Deportivo marina at 2.2 km for sailing and fishing trips, karting at 0.8 km, tennis and padel at the Algarrobo club 0.7 km away, and lawn bowls at Mijas 1.1 km away. Three golf courses within 5.7 km complete the picture: Los Lagos and Los Olivos in Mijas and Cerrado del Aguila. The public pool at 1.5 km extends the swimming season beyond the sea's four warm months.

At €330,000 for 68 m² of living space, this property is priced above the per-square-metre level of new-build alternatives in the wider region. The closest comparables are new developments: 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 projects deliver new construction, modern energy standards, communal pools and often parking, but at entry prices for smaller apartment units, in locations that are less central or further from Málaga Airport. This townhouse competes on different grounds: location within established Fuengirola, a private plot of 184 m² with garden and terraces, a wellness setup (sauna and hot tub) that new-build apartments rarely include, full furnishing, and a tourist licence that removes a major administrative barrier for rental investors. Obtaining a new licence in Fuengirola has become restrictive, so an existing licence carries real market value. The trade-offs are equally concrete: a 1970 structure instead of new build, one bedroom instead of two or three, no parking space, and no communal facilities. Within Fuengirola itself, Los Pacos trades at a modest discount to beachfront zones while remaining walkable to the sea, which historically supports steady rental occupancy. Buyers comparing options should therefore frame the decision as new-build specification and space versus location, land, licence and immediate rental readiness. The provincial market context, around 2,169 housing transactions per year locally and a median provincial income of €16,450, indicates an active but price-sensitive market where rental demand from northern European visitors remains the primary driver of value in this segment.
