This penthouse is situated in Los Boliches, a coastal district of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, within a front-line beach complex completed in 1986. The property offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 132 m² of built area, including an 18 m² covered terrace oriented to the south-east with sea and mountain views. The dwelling was originally configured with four bedrooms and has been reconfigured to enlarge the living-dining area, with partial renovations carried out. A private covered parking space is included, and the complex provides communal gardens, a swimming pool and 24-hour concierge services. Daily amenities, public transport and the beach are within walking distance.
Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this penthouse occupies a specific niche: completed, front-line resale stock in an established Fuengirola district, priced at €825,000 for 132 m² including terrace. The comparable developments listed operate in a different segment. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all lower entry points reflecting new-build typologies, smaller units and, in the cases of Torre del Mar and Estepona, locations further from the Málaga airport orbit. The distinction is not simply price. A new-build buyer at those developments acquires contemporary construction, a developer warranty and current energy specifications, generally at the cost of either a less central position, a longer delivery timeline or smaller accommodation. A buyer at this Los Boliches penthouse acquires immediacy and location: a walkable seafront district with 70 restaurants and 25 cafés within two kilometres, commuter rail and eight bus lines, and the airport at 15-16 kilometres, but in a 1986 building with partial renovations and no stated energy rating. Within Fuengirola itself, Los Boliches is generally regarded as more residential and lower in building density than the town centre, which affects both the character of the surroundings and the rental profile. The 24-hour concierge and gated complex align the property with the service level of newer developments, while the conversion from four to three bedrooms reflects an older floor plan adapted to contemporary living preferences. For buyers weighing investment logic, the front-line position and transport links are durable factors; the older structure and community fee obligations are corresponding considerations. Regional context reinforces the central position: Málaga city and Marbella both lie about 25 kilometres away, giving access to both the provincial capital's employment and cultural base and Marbella's amenity economy without residing in either.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies directly on the seafront of Los Boliches, an established urban district of Fuengirola. A supermarket sits 57 metres away and a pharmacy 89 metres, with roughly 70 restaurants and 25 cafés within a two-kilometre radius. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is approximately 225 metres away, and Málaga Airport lies about 15-16 kilometres distant.
Functionally, the property suits year-round or seasonal coastal living with services on foot. Features include air conditioning, marble flooring, fitted wardrobes, a lift, fibre optic connectivity, a utility room, an ensuite bathroom and access for people with reduced mobility. The complex is gated with an alarm system, entry phone and 24-hour reception, and includes a communal pool and gardens.
This is a resale property, not a new development. The building dates from 1986 (indicative) and is completed. The dwelling has been partially renovated and converted from four bedrooms to three by enlarging the living-dining area. Furniture is optional and the kitchen is partially fitted. No construction phase or delivery timeline applies; purchase concerns an existing, habitable property.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garden, underfloor heating or a fully fitted kitchen. It is a 1986 building, so it lacks the energy certification and specifications of new-build developments. Parking covers one covered space, with an additional space only potentially available. Built area is 132 m² including the terrace, which limits interior space relative to larger penthouses. No private outdoor kitchen or sauna is listed.
This property fits a buyer seeking a ready-to-occupy coastal home rather than an off-plan purchase. Recognisable situations include: a household wanting a three-bedroom penthouse within walking distance of the beach, shops and transport, without depending on a car for daily errands; buyers prioritising established infrastructure, 24-hour concierge, gated access, lift and reduced-mobility access, over the specifications of new construction; and those who value a south-east facing terrace with sea views for morning and midday use. The configuration, converted from four bedrooms to three with an enlarged living-dining area, suits households that prioritise living space over a fourth bedroom; buyers needing four bedrooms should note the original layout has been altered. The property is listed under both residential and investment categories. For rental use, the front-line location, transport links and year-round amenity density of Los Boliches are relevant factors, though any letting activity is subject to Andalusian tourism regulations and community rules, which should be verified independently. The 1986 build year means the buyer accepts an older structure with partial renovations rather than a full refurbishment; those seeking contemporary energy performance or a developer warranty should consider new-build alternatives. The single covered parking space, with a possible second, suits one- or two-car households. Proximity to Málaga Airport at approximately 15-16 kilometres makes the property practical for frequent international travel, which matches the profile of second-home owners who commute between countries. Conversely, buyers seeking a quiet, isolated or rural setting will find the urban density of Los Boliches, 50 bus stops and eight lines nearby, a different proposition.
The interior finishes observed through available imagery and listed specifications include marble flooring, a modern white kitchen with fitted cabinets and sink, and a living-dining area with seating arrangements consistent with the enlarged layout. The kitchen is described as partially fitted, meaning buyers should expect to complete or upgrade certain installations depending on their requirements. The property has been partially renovated, a term indicating that works have been carried out on parts of the dwelling rather than a full refurbishment; an independent technical survey is the appropriate means of assessing the condition of the 1986 structure, installations and any remaining elements. Technical features listed include air conditioning with cold A/C, fibre optic internet, WiFi readiness, a utility room with laundry connections, an ensuite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. The covered terrace extends usable space throughout the year and protects against direct sun exposure. Building-level services form a substantial part of the quality proposition: a lift, entry phone, alarm system, gated complex and 24-hour security and reception. Access for people with reduced mobility is listed, which is comparatively uncommon in older coastal buildings and relates to both the building access and the interior layout. No energy performance certificate rating is stated in the available data; given the 1986 construction date, buyers should request the existing certificate and factor potential insulation and glazing performance into their assessment. Utilities connected include electricity, drinkable water and telephone. Furniture is optional, allowing buyers to acquire the property with or without the current contents depending on negotiation. The communal gardens and pool are maintained by the community, with corresponding community fees that should be confirmed during due diligence.
The asking price is €825,000 for a completed, three-bedroom penthouse of 132 m² built area including an 18 m² terrace, two bathrooms and one covered private parking space. This positions the property in the established resale segment of Los Boliches, where front-line beach complexes with 24-hour services command premiums over inland alternatives. Comparable new-build developments listed for context, such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, differ in location, typology and build year, so direct price-per-square-metre comparison is limited in value. Additional costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees apply separately to a resale purchase.
Daily life at this address is organised around the seafront rhythm of Los Boliches. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is roughly 225 metres away, which places the sea within a few minutes' walk rather than a short drive. A supermarket at 57 metres and a pharmacy at 89 metres mean that routine shopping does not require a car, and the density of the surrounding district, approximately 70 restaurants and 25 cafés within two kilometres, supports year-round amenities rather than seasonal-only trade. The south-east orientation of the 18 m² covered terrace provides morning and midday sun, with panoramic views over the sea and the mountains behind the coast. Inside, the enlarged living-dining area created by the fourth-bedroom conversion gives the main living space more width than the original layout, while the remaining three bedrooms include an ensuite arrangement and fitted wardrobes. The utility room and laundry facilities keep household tasks separated from living areas. Practical elements, a lift, reduced-mobility access, fibre optic internet and air conditioning, indicate a dwelling intended for regular, not occasional, use. The communal gardens and pool extend the usable outdoor space beyond the private terrace, and the 24-hour concierge and gated access structure daily comings and goings. Transport is well represented: eight public transport lines and around 50 stops serve the wider area, and the Cercanías commuter line through Los Boliches connects towards Fuengirola centre and Málaga. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola sits roughly 2.7 kilometres away, and the hospital is 5.6 kilometres distant. In short, this is an urban, walkable coastal setting in which the car is optional for daily errands but useful for regional trips.
Los Boliches functions as a residential district of Fuengirola with a level of daily amenity density that removes most car dependencies. The supermarket 57 metres from the property and the pharmacy at 89 metres place essentials literally around the corner, while the two-kilometre radius contains two dentists, seven banks and seven pharmacies, alongside the roughly 70 restaurants and 25 cafés already noted. Healthcare beyond primary level sits at 5.6 kilometres, where the hospital is located, a distance covered in roughly ten minutes by car or via local transport. Public transport is a defining feature: eight lines and around 50 stops give the district connections along the coast and into Fuengirola centre, and the commuter rail line at Los Boliches station links towards Málaga city and the airport. For recreation, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 225 metres is the nearest swimming option, with Playa de Torreblanca at 1.2 kilometres and Playa de los Boliches at 1.4 kilometres providing alternatives. Sports facilities within a short radius include Karting Mijas at 1.6 kilometres, Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club at 1.9 kilometres and Mijas Lawn Bowls Club at 2.3 kilometres; a public swimming pool, Piscina María Peláez, lies 2.4 kilometres away. The district's elevation profile is essentially flat, the property sits at approximately 5 metres above sea level, so walking and cycling involve no significant gradients. EV drivers should note the nearest charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, is 2.1 kilometres away. Málaga Airport at 15-16 kilometres makes regional and international travel a short transfer, and the city of Málaga itself, with approximately 579,000 inhabitants, lies 25 kilometres along the coast.
The map shows the property's front-line position in Los Boliches, with the Mediterranean immediately to the south-east and the Fuengirola seafront promenade connecting the nearby beaches of Torreblanca-Carvajal, Torreblanca and Los Boliches. The markers indicate the supermarket and pharmacy within 100 metres, the transport stops serving the district, and the road and rail corridors linking the area to Málaga city, the airport and Marbella, the classic geography of this stretch of the Costa del Sol.
