This detached villa stands in an elevated corner position in Torreblanca, on the eastern side of Fuengirola, offering panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea. Built in 1972 and extensively renovated in 2016, the property provides 387 m² of living space on a plot of 1,178 m², with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private swimming pool, mature gardens and two garages. The beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal lies within walking distance, and Málaga Airport is approximately 15 km away. The asking price is fixed at €2,495,000 and the villa is key-ready.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a distinct segment from the new-build projects typically advertised alongside it. Comparable developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) are apartment-style developments aimed at a different buyer profile and budget. At a fixed asking price of €2,495,000, this property competes with detached villas in Fuengirola, Benalmádena and the lower Mijas Costa, where plot size, sea views and renovation quality drive value. Its distinguishing factors are the combination of a substantial 1,178 m² plot, established gardens that new construction cannot replicate, and a walking-distance position relative to beach, supermarket and pharmacy, features that villas in more secluded areas such as the Mijas hillsides or Estepona's outskirts often trade away in exchange for greater isolation and car dependency. Against Marbella's premium segments, Torreblanca offers lower entry pricing for comparable plot and view ratios, at the cost of a more urban surrounding with noticeable summer tourism, reflected in the 25 hotels and 8,085 tourist beds recorded in the area. The local market records approximately 2,391 housing transactions per year, indicating steady liquidity, while median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the domestic affordability ceiling, meaning demand at this price point comes primarily from international buyers. Position-wise, the villa sits 24 km from Málaga and 26 km from Marbella, equidistant from both, with the airport at roughly 15 km, a logistical balance that few villa locations on the coast improve upon.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa occupies an elevated position in Torreblanca, a residential district of Fuengirola. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies 917 m away as the crow flies, while a supermarket is 583 m and a pharmacy 724 m from the property. Carvajal train station is 1.5 km away, and Málaga Airport is approximately 15 km distant.
The property offers four bedrooms and five bathrooms across 387 m², including ensuite facilities and a fully furnished interior. Outdoor space comprises terraces, a private pool, an outdoor kitchen by the poolside, and mature gardens with fruit trees on a 1,178 m² plot. Two garages provide secure parking for two vehicles.
This is an existing home, completed in 1972 and extensively renovated in 2016. The property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The renovation included a bespoke kitchen, upgraded security aluminium windows, central air conditioning and renewed finishes throughout.
The property does not form part of a new-build development with communal facilities or a residents' club. A separate additional area has only the potential to become an independent apartment, subject to planning and licensing requirements that have not yet been obtained. No gym, sauna or shared sports amenities are included on the plot.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A family relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol who want space, four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and walking access to schools' catchment area and daily amenities would find the layout practical. International owners who travel frequently benefit from the approximately 15 km distance to Málaga Airport and the two secure garages. Buyers seeking a villa with established character, mature gardens, fruit trees and grown landscaping rather than a newly planted plot, will notice the difference with new construction. Households that entertain often can use the poolside outdoor kitchen and extensive terraces during the long warm season. Conversely, buyers wanting a lock-and-leave apartment, communal facilities such as a shared pool or gym, or a brand-new build warranty should note that those elements are absent here. The additional internal area, potentially convertible into an independent apartment, suits multigenerational families or those needing guest or staff accommodation, but only if the relevant planning permissions are secured. Finally, those who prefer total tranquillity in a rural setting may find the urban surroundings of Torreblanca, with its 5,744 inhabitants and tourist activity, busier than an inland finca.
The villa was extensively renovated in 2016, and the materials described reflect a deliberate emphasis on durability and finish. The bespoke kitchen forms the centrepiece: oak cabinetry combined with large-format natural marble work surfaces, an island and an integrated wine rack. Bathrooms include modern fittings with double sinks and bathtubs, and the master bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom. Windows are upgraded security aluminium units with double glazing, and the property is equipped with central air conditioning throughout. An alarm system is installed, and the home is sold fully furnished. The windows and glazing improve both insulation and acoustic separation from the surrounding urban area. Beyond the built structure, the quality of the plot is defined by decades of landscaping: mature vegetation, established fruit trees including a lemon tree, and stone steps connecting garden terraces. The private pool and the second outdoor kitchen by the poolside extend the usable living area outdoors for much of the year. Two garages provide covered, secure parking. The 1972 construction date means the structural frame predates modern building regulations; the 2016 renovation addressed finishes, windows and services, but buyers conducting due diligence may wish to verify the technical state of installations such as wiring and plumbing through an independent survey, as would be standard practice for a property of this age.
The asking price is a fixed €2,495,000 for the entire property, including the main villa of 387 m², the plot of 1,178 m², the private pool, gardens, two garages and the furnished interior. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build development, so there is no price list or range of unit types; the price applies to the single property as offered. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), operate in a different segment, apartments rather than detached villas with sea views and established grounds.
Daily life at this villa is shaped by its elevated corner plot and the division between house and garden. Mornings can begin on the terraces with sea views, followed by a short walk downhill to the beach at Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, less than a kilometre away as the crow flies. The supermarket at 583 m and pharmacy at 724 m make routine shopping feasible on foot, which is relatively uncommon for villa properties on this stretch of coast. The neighbourhood itself is urban and residential, with a mixture of permanent residents and seasonal visitors. Within two kilometres there are more than sixty restaurants, some twenty cafés and several banks, so the immediate area remains lively without the villa itself losing its sense of privacy behind mature planting. The poolside outdoor kitchen suits long lunches and evening entertaining during the warmer months, when average monthly temperatures range up to about 26°C. Practical errands further afield are straightforward: Carvajal train station at 1.5 km connects towards Fuengirola and the coast, while the A-7 and AP-7 motorways place Málaga, Marbella and the airport within easy driving range. The swimming season lasts roughly four months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, and the gardens, including a lemon tree and other fruit-bearing planting, require ongoing maintenance, which is typical for a plot of this size and maturity.
Torreblanca sits on the eastern flank of Fuengirola, a working coastal town of nearly 580,000 residents in the wider municipality area, with the district itself home to around 5,744 inhabitants. The surroundings are urban but residential in character, with a significant tourism presence, 25 hotels and roughly 8,085 beds, meaning the area is busier in summer and quieter in winter. Daily provisions require little driving: the nearest supermarket is 583 m away and a pharmacy 724 m, both reachable on foot. Healthcare is covered by a hospital at 5.7 km and three health centres in the area, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools serving families. For leisure, the Fuengirola marina lies 3.1 km away, and karting facilities at Karting Mijas (1.0 km), the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club (1.8 km) and a public swimming pool at 2.5 km provide sports options. An EV charging point, including the Fuengirola Supercharger, is located 1.9 km from the villa. Public transport comprises eight lines and fifty stops in the vicinity, and the Cercanías train from Carvajal station (1.5 km) runs along the coast towards Fuengirola and Benalmádena.
The map shows the villa's elevated position in Torreblanca relative to the Fuengirola coastline, with the nearest beach under one kilometre away and the train line running along the shore. Málaga and Marbella appear equidistant to the east and west, and the golf courses of Mijas lie a short drive inland.

Torreblanca forms part of Fuengirola on the central Costa del Sol, positioned between the major centres of Málaga (24 km) and Marbella (26 km). This places the villa roughly equidistant from the region's two principal employment, culture and shopping hubs, with Algeciras and Gibraltar further west at 90 km and 81 km respectively. The district benefits from Fuengirola's full urban infrastructure while retaining a more residential pace than the town centre. Within the regional hierarchy, Torreblanca is a coastal location with train access, beaches and year-round services rather than a seasonal resort, a distinction that matters for buyers intending extended or permanent residence.
Access by car is the primary mode for longer trips: Málaga Airport is approximately 15 km away as the crow flies, with the source material indicating a drive of around 15 minutes, and Gibraltar Airport lies about 81 km distant. Málaga city centre is 24 km away and Marbella 26 km, placing both within normal commuting or excursion range via the coastal motorway. Beaches are close: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 917 m, Playa de Torreblanca at 1.6 km and Playa de los Boliches at 1.8 km, all straight-line distances; actual walking routes are longer due to the elevation of the plot. Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos (5.3 km), Mijas Golf (5.6 km) and Campo Los Olivos (5.8 km) within a short drive. For households without a car, the combination of walkable amenities, 50 public transport stops and the train station at 1.5 km makes day-to-day living feasible, though the villa's elevated position means some uphill walking on the return journey.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 17.9°C and monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, conditions that support outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season lasts approximately four months, when sea temperatures reach 20°C or above. The villa stands at 76 m above sea level on an elevated, sloping plot; this elevation produces the panoramic sea views but also means stepped garden terraces and some gradient on the approach from the coast. Inland, the Serranía and nearby 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 walking destinations with mountain scenery, visible from the property itself along with the sea. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, and the region records a substantial number of sunshine hours typical of the Costa del Sol.

Three beaches lie within two kilometres: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal (917 m), Playa de Torreblanca (1.6 km) and Playa de los Boliches (1.8 km), all measured in straight line. The wider municipal coastline includes Blue Flag awarded beaches, an international quality standard for water quality and services. Recreation extends beyond the sand: the Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina (3.1 km) offers moorings, dining and boat trips, while sports facilities in the vicinity include Karting Mijas (1.0 km), the Algarrobo Tennis & Country Club (1.6 km), Club de Tenis y Padel Lew Hoad (1.8 km) and the Piscina María Peláez public pool (2.5 km). Golf is well served, with Campo Los Lagos at 5.3 km, Mijas Golf at 5.6 km and Campo Los Olivos at 5.8 km, plus the Benalmádena Pitch & Putt at 6.0 km. For evenings out, the density of restaurants and cafés within two kilometres, 62 and 21 respectively, covers most culinary needs without driving into central Fuengirola.
