Villa Las Parras is a detached villa of 184 m² on a 792 m² plot in the residential area of Torreblanca, between Fuengirola and Benalmádena on the Costa del Sol. The house offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a private swimming pool, a covered terrace and sea views. Built in 1980 and in good condition, it is key-ready. The beach lies about a 10-minute walk away, and the asking price is €870,000 as a fixed price for this existing home. Bus and train connections make the location practical both with and without a car.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Torreblanca, a residential district on the coast between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, roughly 24 km from Málaga as the crow flies. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is 0.9 km away, and Carvajal train station 1.5 km. Shops, restaurants and schools are within walking distance, giving the location an everyday, lived-in character rather than a purely seasonal one.
The property combines a generous plot with private pool, covered terrace and sea views across south, southwest and west orientations. Three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a utility room cover permanent-living needs, while air conditioning (hot and cold) and high ceilings in the living areas support year-round comfort for both residents and holiday users.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1980 and is offered key-ready in good condition, which means the buyer can move in directly after purchase. No construction phase, off-plan payments or indicative delivery dates apply; completion is a matter of the standard purchase process. Renovation needs are limited to what a technical inspection would identify.
The villa offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 184 m², not the layout of larger modern villas. There is no mention of underfloor heating, a garage, central heating or a heated pool. The house was built in 1980, so installations and insulation predate current new-build standards. Buyers seeking contemporary energy performance or a gated community with shared facilities will not find those here.
This property fits a buyer who values outdoor space and a private pool above interior surface area. A family seeking a permanent residence near schools and healthcare will find 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area, plus 3 health centres, and the house itself offers the ensuite bathroom and utility room that daily family life requires. Retirees or part-time residents who want to live without depending on a car benefit from the bus frequency and the train at Carvajal. Buyers wanting a second home within easy flying distance, Málaga airport is roughly a 25-minute drive, can lock the property and travel light. The house also suits someone who prefers an established, mature neighbourhood with trees and full-grown gardens over a construction site. It fits less well for buyers who want four or more bedrooms, a modern energy performance standard, a garage as standard, or communal facilities such as a gym or concierge. Investors should note that rental use depends on the applicable licence regime in Fuengirola and the condition of a 1980 building; a technical survey is the sensible first step. In short: a practical match for buyers prioritising plot, pool and proximity to the sea over contemporary new-build finishing.
The villa was completed in 1980 and is described as being in good condition. The interior features high ceilings in the living room and kitchen, which is characteristic of Andalusian villa construction of that period and gives the ground floor its light and volume. The images show a white-finished exterior, tiled bathrooms, a bedroom with balcony and sea view, and a furnished entrance hall, consistent with a home that has been maintained and updated over the years rather than fully renovated. Climate control is provided by air conditioning units that deliver both cooling and heating, which in this climate covers most of the year, though there is no mention of underfloor heating or central heating. Storage is arranged through fitted wardrobes and a separate utility room, and one bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Buyers should treat the 1980 construction date as a starting point for due diligence: the electrical installation, plumbing, window frames and insulation predate current technical building codes and may have been partially renewed, a structural and technical survey will establish what has been replaced and what may need attention in the coming years. The pool and terrace area appear well kept, and the covered terrace extends the usable outdoor season considerably. Overall, the finishing level is that of a cared-for existing villa: solid and liveable, with modernisation rather than renovation as the realistic horizon.
The asking price is €870,000, fixed for this existing home rather than a starting price. That figure buys 184 m² of living space and, above all, a 792 m² plot with a private pool in a coastal district within walking distance of the beach, a combination that is relatively scarce at this distance from the sea. As a completed, key-ready property from 1980, the price reflects the land, location and outdoor space rather than new-build specifications. For comparison, new developments in the wider region (Torre del Mar, Mijas, Estepona) start between roughly €205,000 and €322,000, but those are apartments, not detached villas on freehold plots. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life at Villa Las Parras centres on the combination of a quiet residential street and unusually short distances to the coast. The beach at Torreblanca-Carvajal is under a kilometre away on foot, which makes morning swims or evening walks along the shore a realistic part of the routine rather than a weekend excursion. The covered terrace and the pool area function as outdoor living rooms for much of the year, supported by the predominantly south to west orientation that extends usable hours of daylight on the plot. Inside, high ceilings in the living room and kitchen give the ground floor a sense of volume uncommon in compact apartments, and the three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom accommodate a family or visiting guests. The rhythm of the neighbourhood is year-round: local buses run roughly every 15 minutes towards Los Boliches, Fuengirola and Miramar Shopping Centre, and another line connects towards Benalmádena and Torremolinos, with services from the morning until around midnight. Carvajal station, 1.5 km away, places Fuengirola and the commuter line towards Málaga within easy reach. Within 2 km there are more than 60 restaurants, 21 cafés, 8 pharmacies and several banks, so the immediate surroundings cover daily needs without a car. In practice, residents can live car-light here, useful for a second home, while the A-7 and AP-7 remain close for trips to Marbella, Málaga airport or inland villages. The area sits at about 76 m elevation, gently sloping towards the sea, which is what produces the sea views from the upper floors.
The surroundings of Torreblanca function as a year-round residential belt between Fuengirola and Benalmádena. Within 2 km, the count of amenities, 62 restaurants, 21 cafés, 8 pharmacies, 7 banks and 2 dentists, indicates a fully developed service layer, not a summer-only strip. The neighbourhood sits at about 76 m elevation with a gentle slope towards the sea, which explains the sea views from the property. Everyday life can be organised on foot or by bus: local lines run about every 15 minutes towards Los Boliches, Fuengirola and Miramar Shopping Centre, and towards Benalmádena and Torremolinos, with operating hours from the morning to around midnight. Carvajal train station lies 1.5 km away and connects to the Fuengirola, Málaga commuter line. For sport, Karting Mijas is 1.0 km away and the Lew Hoad Tennis and Paddle Club 1.8 km, with a public swimming pool at 2.5 km. The area is quieter than central Fuengirola but not isolated, a balance many permanent residents appreciate.
The map shows the villa's position on the gentle coastal slope of Torreblanca, under a kilometre from the beach line between Carvajal and Los Boliches. Visible in the wider frame are Fuengirola to the west, Benalmádena to the east and the Mijas hills behind, the classic Costa del Sol geography of coast, town and mountains within a few kilometres.

Torreblanca occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol: 24 km from Málaga, 26 km from Marbella and on the commuter rail line between Fuengirola and the airport. That places the villa closer to both major urban centres than most hillside villas in Mijas or Estepona, while retaining a residential character and beach proximity. Compared with new-build apartments in Torre del Mar, Mijas or Estepona, this location trades contemporary finishing for an established setting, a freehold plot and mature infrastructure, a distinct position within the regional offer.

The climate is typical of the western Costa del Sol: an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. That pattern means outdoor living on the terrace and around the pool is realistic from spring through late autumn. The swimming season in open water runs about 4 months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above; the private pool effectively extends that window. The site sits at 76 m above sea level on a gentle coastal slope, which provides drainage, sea views and a light breeze without the steep access roads of higher hillside urbanisations. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, keeping summers dry and sunny. Viewpoints in the nearby hills, Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 3.8 km and others at 4.1 and 4.7 km, mark the transition from the built-up coast to the natural parkland behind it, giving residents walking options above the town.

The villa lies within walking distance of several beaches: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 0.9 km, Playa de Torrebluada-Carvajal's continuation at Playa de Torreblanca (1.6 km) and the long family beach of Playa de los Boliches at 1.8 km. In the wider municipal area, two Blue Flag beaches (Nord and Torrenostra) underline the general water quality of this stretch of coast. For active recreation, Karting Mijas is 1.0 km away, Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club 1.6 km and the Lew Hoad Tennis and Paddle Club 1.8 km; a public swimming pool sits 2.5 km from the house. Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos (5.3 km) and Campo Los Olivos (5.8 km), both part of the Mijas Golf complex, within a short drive. Fuengirola marina (3.1 km) offers berths, boat trips and seaside dining. The tourism infrastructure in the region, 25 hotels with over 8,000 beds, supports a full calendar of restaurants and entertainment without the property itself depending on seasonal letting.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, Villa Las Parras occupies a specific niche: the established detached villa on a freehold plot near the beach, offered at a fixed price of €870,000. Comparable new-build projects in the region sit at different price points and product types. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950, all considerably cheaper per unit, but these are new-build apartments or townhouses without a private 792 m² plot or a private pool included as standard. The comparison illustrates the trade-off in this segment: new-build buyers get modern insulation, current energy standards and developer guarantees, while villa buyers on the Fuengirola coast get land, privacy and outdoor space that new developments increasingly cannot offer at this distance from the sea. Torreblanca's position strengthens that value proposition. At 24 km from Málaga and 26 km from Marbella, with a train station 1.5 km away, it is better connected than inland Mijas or Estepona urbanisations, where a car is essential. At the same time, the district is more built-up and less exclusive than gated communities in Marbella or Benahavís, which is reflected in the price level. Buyers moving from a northern-European housing market will recognise the logic: the price per square metre of living space here is moderate for the coast; the plot is what carries the value. Transaction volumes in the area, around 2,391 housing transactions per year, indicate an active, liquid local market rather than a thin resale market, which matters for future exit options. The realistic comparison set is therefore not the new-build apartment, but other 1980s, 1990s villas between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, where condition, views and plot size determine the price band.
