This duplex penthouse forms part of a new residential development in Torreblanca, a coastal district on the western edge of Fuengirola in the province of Málaga. The property is under construction, with delivery indicatively scheduled for Q3 2026. It offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 114 m² of living space over two floors, with two private terraces and an included parking space. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies approximately 900 metres away, and Málaga Airport is roughly 15 kilometres from the site. The development includes communal pools, a gym, sauna, coworking space and sports court.
Set against comparable new-build projects along the coast, this penthouse occupies a specific position: a mid-range price point in a highly serviced, rail-connected urban location. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950; that town lies east of Málaga, roughly 35–40 minutes from the airport, and trades proximity to Málaga for lower entry prices and a more Spanish-domestic market profile. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000 and represents the inland alternative, quieter, cheaper, but dependent on the car for beaches, shopping and transport. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000 offers a more resort-oriented setting on the western Costa del Sol, approximately 45–60 minutes from the airport, where golf and marina infrastructure dominates but commuter rail is absent. At €325,000, this Torreblanca property commands a premium of roughly €55,000–€120,000 over these comparables, and the documented justifications are structural rather than cosmetic: the duplex penthouse format with two terraces and solarium, the three-bedroom layout across two floors, and the location's combination of beach walkability, train access to Fuengirola and Málaga, and a dense service environment (62 restaurants and 21 cafés within two kilometres). Buyers comparing options should weigh what the premium buys, connectivity and urban convenience, against what comparables offer at lower cost: more space per euro inland at Lantana, or a quieter resort setting at Etherna. None of the comparables matches Torreblanca's rail access, and only Estepona offers a comparable resort-style facility package. The Fuengirola rental and resale market, with 2,391 recorded property transactions in the supplied regional data, is among the most liquid on the coast, which is relevant context for buyers weighing exit options.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development sits in an established urban area between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, roughly 900 metres from the beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal. A supermarket is within 600 metres and a pharmacy within about 750 metres. The Carvajal commuter train station is approximately 1.5 kilometres away, connecting to Fuengirola and the regional rail network. The A-7 motorway is reachable within minutes by car.
The property is arranged for year-round residential use: two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor, a master suite with en-suite bathroom and private terrace on the upper floor, and an open-plan kitchen connected to the living room. Heating and hot water run on an aerothermal system with central air conditioning pre-installed. Communal facilities include three pools, a gym, sauna, coworking room, laundry and a children's playground.
Construction is currently underway, with handover indicatively planned for Q3 2026. Delivery is unfurnished, with one private parking space included in the price. The building incorporates a lift, double glazing and an aerothermal hot-water and heating installation. Buyers should treat the delivery date as indicative and subject to the developer's construction schedule.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. There is no private garden, and outdoor space is limited to a 13.76 m² main terrace and a 7.54 m² upper terrace. Delivery is unfurnished. Air conditioning is listed as pre-installed rather than fully installed throughout. No storage room is documented in the provided data, and the upper floor is reached via a spiral staircase.
This property fits several recognisable situations. It suits a couple or small family seeking a three-bedroom home for permanent residence who value walkable access to shops and the beach and want communal facilities such as pools and a gym without maintaining them privately. It also matches buyers planning a part-time relocation, since the master suite with its own terrace functions as a self-contained upper level while guests or family use the two ground-floor bedrooms. The aerothermal heating, central air conditioning preparation and double glazing make year-round occupancy realistic rather than seasonal. Buyers who place central importance on a large south-facing terrace should note the east/north-east orientation: the terraces receive morning and midday sun rather than afternoon and evening sun, which favours early risers and breakfast outdoors over sundowner use. The layout with a spiral staircase to the master bedroom is relevant for buyers with limited mobility, as is the fact that the building has a lift serving the apartment level. For investors, the three-bedroom format near the beach and train line in the Fuengirola rental market is a documented feature of the location, though no rental projections are supplied here. Buyers seeking a fully private villa experience with private pool and garden will not find that in this format; the property is an apartment with communal amenities.
The technical specification documented for this property centres on energy performance and comfort systems. Heating and hot water are provided by an aerothermal system, which extracts heat from ambient air and typically reduces energy consumption for hot water substantially compared with electric resistance heating. Central air conditioning is installed, with an additional split unit on the upper floor, and air conditioning is also listed as pre-installed in the features, which buyers should clarify with the developer in terms of what is included versus prepared for. Double glazing is standard. The interior layout includes fitted wardrobes, an open-plan kitchen connected to the living area, and a bathroom with walk-in shower on the main floor. The master suite upstairs has an en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobe. Two terraces, 13.76 m² off the living room facing east with a slight southern component, and 7.54 m² adjoining the master suite, plus a solarium provide the outdoor areas. The building has a lift, relevant given the penthouse position. Views are documented as mountain, panoramic, garden and pool views. Delivery is unfurnished, giving buyers control over interior finishing, but also meaning floor coverings, window treatments and furniture are additional costs beyond the €325,000 price. Communal facilities, gym, sauna, coworking space, laundry room, playground and sports court, are part of the development's shared specification, and buyers should review the community fee structure, which is not included in the supplied data.
The asking price is €325,000, inclusive of one private parking space. Based on the stated 114 m² of built living space, this equates to approximately €2,850 per m² before terraces are taken into account. Within the regional context, the price sits above comparable new-build projects further east and west along the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, a premium largely attributable to the Torreblanca-Fuengirola location and the duplex penthouse format with two terraces. Buyers should budget separately for furnishing, as delivery is unfurnished.
Daily life here is anchored in the rhythm of a built-up coastal neighbourhood rather than a gated resort on the outskirts. The penthouse sits within an urbanisation with extensive communal facilities, three swimming pools, a gym, a sauna, a coworking space and a sports court, but the surrounding streets function as an ordinary part of the Fuengirola conurbation, with shops, pharmacies and restaurants within walking distance. The property itself is laid out across two levels. The main floor combines the living room and open-plan kitchen, opening onto an east-facing terrace of 13.76 m² that catches morning sun; a spiral staircase beside the kitchen leads to the master suite upstairs, which has its own 7.54 m² terrace, en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobe. The north-east and east orientation means the terraces are at their best earlier in the day, while the upper-floor solarium features panoramic, mountain and garden views. Mountain views are a recurring characteristic of this stretch of coast, where the Sierra de Mijas rises directly behind the town. Because a supermarket, pharmacy and bakery-type amenities sit within 600–750 metres, the location supports car-free routines for most daily errands, while the Carvajal train station about 1.5 km away connects to Fuengirola centre and the wider coastal rail line. The nearest beach is a 10–15 minute walk, and the promenade runs continuously towards Los Boliches and Fuengirola, making evening walks along the seafront a realistic part of the weekly pattern. The area receives a documented 3,891 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of around 18°C, which extends outdoor use of the terraces well beyond the summer months, although the sea-warming swim season of roughly four months is shorter than the terrace season.
Torreblanca occupies the coastal strip between Fuengirola town centre and Benalmádena's Carvajal district, an established residential belt with a documented density of services: within a two-kilometre radius the data lists 62 restaurants, 21 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists. Daily life can be conducted largely on foot or by bicycle, the nearest supermarket is 583 metres away and the pharmacy 724 metres. Healthcare access runs through three health centres in the area and a hospital at 5.7 kilometres. The C-1 commuter train from Carvajal station, 1.5 km away, links to Fuengirola (3.1 km) in a few minutes and runs along the coast towards Málaga. Fifty bus stops across 8 public transport lines serve the wider area. For sport, the Lew Hoad Tennis and Paddle Club is 1.8 km away, the Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club at 1.6 km, and Karting Mijas at 1.0 km. The nearest EV charging point, including a Tesla supercharger, is 1.9 km away. The neighbourhood sits at roughly 76 metres above sea level on a gentle coastal slope, meaning parts of the walk to the beach involve a modest gradient.
The map shows the development's position on the inland side of the Torreblanca strip, roughly 900 metres from the shoreline and equidistant between Fuengirola centre and Benalmádena's Carvajal district. Notable reference points within a two-kilometre radius include the beach, the train station, the supermarket and the tennis clubs.

Torreblanca positions the development between two of the coast's larger towns: Fuengirola centre at 3.1 km and Benalmádena beyond Carvajal, with Málaga city and airport 15–20 minutes away by car or train. This places the property in the central band of the Costa del Sol, closer to the airport than Estepona or Marbella developments and better served by rail than almost any other coastal municipality in the region, since the Fuengirola line is the coast's only commuter rail connection. Compared with inland Mijas options, the trade-off is a denser urban environment in exchange for walkability to the beach and services.
The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is 917 metres away on foot; Playa de Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches lie at 1.6 km and 1.8 km respectively. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 15–16 km away, reachable by car via the A-7 in approximately 15–20 minutes outside peak traffic. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 3.1 km away. Golfers can reach three courses within 5.3–6.0 km: Campo Los Lagos (5.3 km), Mijas Golf (5.6 km) and Campo Los Olivos (5.8 km). The public swimming pool Piscina María Peláez is 2.5 km away. Train connections run from Carvajal (1.5 km) and Fuengirola (3.1 km) stations. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 81 km away by straight line for those needing secondary flight options.

The area records approximately 3,891 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, with monthly averages ranging roughly between 14°C and 26°C. This places Torreblanca firmly within the Costa del Sol's mild-winter climate pattern, where terraces and outdoor areas remain usable through most of the year. The sea swim season, defined by water temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts approximately four months, roughly June to September, meaning sea swimming outside this window requires tolerance for cooler water. The development sits at about 76 metres above sea level on the lower slopes behind the coast, giving the penthouse level its documented mountain and panoramic views while keeping the walk to the beach practical. The Sierra de Mijas rises directly behind the urbanisation, and the area is noted as close to forest, offering walking options in the hills within short driving distance. Local records list 32 public holidays and festivities per year, reflecting an active local calendar.

Three beaches lie within walking range: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 0.9 km, Playa de Torreblanca at 1.6 km and Playa de los Boliches at 1.8 km, the latter being the long, fully serviced stretch fronting Fuengirola's most established residential neighbourhood. The nearest Fuengirola beaches hold Blue Flag status in most years, though the Blue Flag designations in the supplied dataset (Nord, Torrenostra) refer to a different Torreblanca in Castellón and should not be conflated with this Málaga location. Beyond the beach, recreation includes the Lew Hoad Tennis and Paddle Club (1.8 km), the Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club (1.6 km), karting at Karting Mijas (1.0 km) and the municipal pool at 2.5 km. Fuengirola's marina (3.1 km) offers moorings and sea excursions, and the Mijas golf complex with its Los Lagos and Los Olivos courses is under ten minutes by car.
