A two-bedroom, two-bathroom resale apartment of 80 m² in the Torreblanca district of Fuengirola, offered at a fixed asking price of €240,000. The property was completed in 2003 and is key-ready, with a private terrace offering partial sea views, a south-west orientation and an underground parking space included. The urbanisation has a communal pool and garden, a lift and an entry-phone system. A bus stop outside the main entrance connects the area with central Fuengirola, and the Carvajal railway station lies approximately 1.5 km away as the crow flies. The apartment requires some refurbishment, which is reflected in the asking price relative to the local average.
Within its segment, this apartment competes on price and licensing rather than on finishes. Comparable new-build projects in the region illustrate the gap: 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. A from-price in a new-build development, however, typically reflects a base unit without the extras that this resale includes, an underground parking space, part furnishing and, critically, a transferable tourist licence, which new-builds in many municipalities can no longer obtain due to licensing restrictions. That licence is a material differentiator for investors: it converts the property into a legally operable short-term rental asset, something increasingly scarce on this coast. Against the Torreblanca resale market itself, the €240,000 asking price is, according to the seller, below the local average, the discount being the explicit trade-off for the refurbishment required. Buyers should treat that statement as a starting point for their own comparison, using the district's 2,391 annual housing transactions as an indication of market liquidity. Locationally, Torreblanca sits closer to Málaga airport (about 16 km straight line) than Marbella (26 km) or Estepona developments, and the district's rail link via Carvajal is an advantage that car-dependent locations such as Torre del Mar or parts of Estepona cannot match. The counterweight is the scale of the offer: 80 m² with partial sea views is modest against the new-build units in the comparison set, and the seasonal hotel presence, 25 hotels with over 8,000 beds, produces summer crowds that quieter residential zones avoid. The rational comparison is therefore not new-build versus resale alone, but the total cost of a refurbished, licensed rental unit against a new, unlicensed alternative.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Torreblanca sits between Fuengirola and Benalmádena on the Costa del Sol, roughly 3 km by direct line from Fuengirola centre and 24 km from Málaga. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is about 0.9 km away, and the train stations at Carvajal and Fuengirola provide coastal rail connections. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 16 km away in a straight line.
The apartment combines two bedrooms with two bathrooms, one of them en-suite, an equipped kitchen, fitted wardrobes and marble flooring. A private terrace with a south-west orientation extends the living space outdoors, while the communal pool and garden serve daily leisure needs without private maintenance obligations. An underground parking space and a lift are included.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 2003 and the apartment is delivered key-ready, although the seller states that some refurbishment is required. Delivery terms for an existing resale property are a matter of negotiation between buyer and seller; the listing notes that viewings can be arranged at short notice and that offers are considered.
The property is a resale apartment that requires refurbishment, which buyers should budget for separately. At 80 m² of living area, space is compact for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout. The sea views are partial rather than full. There is no private pool, private garden or private tennis court; the pool, garden and tennis facilities are communal. The asking price is fixed, not a starting price within a price list.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a first home or a compact base on the Costa del Sol gets two bathrooms, parking and a terrace at a price point well below the regional new-build average. Buyers planning a holiday residence benefit from the south-west terrace, the communal pool and the walkable distance to the beach. Investors, in particular, may find the transferable tourist licence the decisive factor: the apartment can legally operate in short-term holiday letting, and the seller positions the combination of low entry price and rental potential as its core investment case. The location also suits buyers who prefer not to depend on a car every day. The bus stop at the entrance and the nearby Cercanías rail line allow travel to Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga without driving, which is relatively rare for coastal districts geared towards car ownership. The property is less suitable for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with contemporary finishes, since refurbishment is required, or for those wanting generous interior space, given the 80 m² footprint. Full, uninterrupted sea views and private outdoor facilities such as a private pool are also not part of the offer. Buyers should weigh the refurbishment budget against the discount to the local average and the rental licence when forming their own valuation.
The apartment was completed in 2003 and carries the material palette typical of that period on the Costa del Sol: marble flooring throughout the living areas and hallway, wooden window and door frames, and a granite worktop in the kitchen with wooden cabinetry. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, which reduces the immediate furnishing budget. The property is described as being in good condition overall, but the seller explicitly states that some refurbishment is required; the listing links this directly to the asking price being below the area average. Buyers should therefore distinguish between cosmetic works and any deeper technical upgrades. Buildings of this age may warrant inspection of plumbing, electrics and window seals before purchase, particularly if short-term rental use is planned, since rental operations place above-average wear on finishes. The functional infrastructure of the urbanisation includes a lift, relevant for the disabled access noted in the features, an entry-phone security system, and communal facilities consisting of a pool, a garden and a tennis court. The underground parking space is included in the price, which protects the car from sun exposure and adds practical value in a district where on-street parking can be seasonal. The property is sold part furnished, so the refurbishment plan can be phased rather than executed in a single campaign.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €240,000. This is not a new-build price list; there is a single property and a single price. The seller indicates that the price sits below the average for the Torreblanca area, which is attributed to the refurbishment the apartment requires. An underground parking space is included in the price. The listing states that viewings can be arranged at any time, keys are held at the agent's office, and offers are considered. Buyers comparing with new-build alternatives should note that nearby projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas start from €205,000, while Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, figures that are not directly comparable to a resale unit with parking and a tourist licence included.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a compact but complete layout: a living room with marble flooring, a fully fitted kitchen with a granite worktop and wooden cabinets, two bedrooms and two bathrooms including an en-suite. The private terrace, oriented to the south-west, catches the afternoon and evening sun, which suits outdoor dining from late spring into autumn. The urbanisation provides a communal pool and garden, so swimming and outdoor space are available without the upkeep of a private plot. The district itself is urban and transport-oriented. A bus stop directly outside the main entrance runs into Fuengirola, and the Carvajal commuter rail station sits about 1.5 km away by direct line, giving car-free access along the coast towards Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga. Within roughly 2 km there are more than sixty restaurants, around twenty cafés, eight pharmacies and several banks, so everyday shopping and services are within walking or short driving distance. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is under 1 km away as the crow flies, making morning swims or evening walks along the shore a realistic part of the weekly routine. Healthcare is covered by three health centres in the area, and schooling options include fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools in the wider municipality. Because the apartment holds a transferable tourist licence, the same layout can serve either as a permanent or holiday residence or as a short-term rental asset, depending on the owner's plans.
Torreblanca functions as a residential coastal district with a well-developed service layer. Within a 2 km radius, the amenity count includes 62 restaurants, 21 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists, meaning daily errands rarely require a trip into central Fuengirola. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies about 0.9 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Torreblanca at 1.6 km and Playa de los Boliches at 1.8 km, three sandy options within easy reach, and road distances will be somewhat longer than the direct line. The area counts 5,744 inhabitants in the 2025 INE figure, but the presence of 25 hotels with over 8,000 beds indicates a pronounced seasonal swing: lively and international in summer, considerably quieter off-season. Public transport consists of 8 lines and 50 stops, including the bus at the urbanisation entrance. The train stations at Carvajal (1.5 km) and Fuengirola (3.1 km) connect the district to the regional rail network. For sport, Karting Mijas sits 1.0 km away, with tennis and padel clubs at 1.6 and 1.8 km, and the María Peláez public swimming pool at 2.5 km. The Fuengirola Supercharger for electric vehicles is 1.9 km away.
The map shows the property in Torreblanca, between Fuengirola centre to the south-west and Benalmádena to the north-east. Distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual road distances are longer. Note the cluster of beaches under 2 km, the rail stations at Carvajal and Fuengirola, and the airport 16 km to the north-east, the Mediterranean sunshine within easy reach of every marker.

Torreblanca occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol: 24 km by direct line from Málaga and 26 km from Marbella, with Fuengirola as the immediate urban anchor roughly 3 km away. This places the property within commuting range of the provincial capital while retaining the lower price levels associated with the Fuengirola, Benalmádena corridor rather than Marbella or Estepona. For regional context, Algeciras lies 90 km away by straight line. The district's mix of residential permanence and hotel-based tourism gives it a year-round service base that more seasonal enclaves lack.
Accessibility is one of the district's stronger points. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 16 km away as the crow flies, making flight connections convenient for international owners and rental guests alike; Gibraltar airport is about 81 km away by direct line. By rail, Carvajal station (1.5 km straight line) offers the Cercanías line towards Fuengirola and Málaga, and Fuengirola station itself lies 3.1 km away. The bus stop outside the urbanisation entrance provides a direct link into Fuengirola town. Beaches are 0.9 to 1.8 km away by direct line, and the Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is about 3.1 km from the property. Golfers reach Campo Los Lagos at 5.3 km and Campo Los Olivos at 5.8 km straight-line distance, with a pitch-and-putt in Benalmádena at 6.0 km. Regional towns are well spaced: Málaga at 24 km and Marbella at 26 km straight-line distance. A car remains useful for golf, marina visits and bulk shopping, but the transport density means daily life does not strictly require one.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol profile: an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, running roughly from June through September or early October. The apartment's south-west orientation aligns well with this pattern, capturing afternoon and evening sun on the terrace during the months when outdoor living is most attractive. The elevation of 76 metres above sea level indicates a low-lying coastal setting without significant slopes between the urbanisation and the shore, which matters for walking to the beach with everyday loads. For those seeking inland views and hiking, the listed viewpoints, Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 3.8 km, Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 4.1 km and Mirador de Cañada Gertrudis at 4.7 km, offer vantage points within a short drive, extending the recreational radius beyond the coastline.

The immediate coastline offers three beaches within about 2 km of the property: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 0.9 km, Playa de Torreblanca at 1.6 km and Playa de los Boliches at 1.8 km, all measured in a straight line. The wider municipality holds two Blue Flag beaches, Nord and Torrenostra, reflecting the water quality standards along this stretch of coast. Beyond swimming and sunbathing, the recreational offer is broad for a district of this size. The Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club sits 1.8 km away and the Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club at 1.6 km, while Karting Mijas is 1.0 km from the property. The communal pool and tennis court within the urbanisation cover casual daily use without travel. Golfers can choose between Campo Los Lagos (5.3 km) and Campo Los Olivos (5.8 km), both part of the Mijas golf cluster, or the Benalmádena pitch-and-putt at 6.0 km. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, 3.1 km away, adds sailing, waterfront dining and seasonal excursions to the mix.
