This is a completed top-floor apartment of 103 m² built in the Eurosol building in Montemar, on the La Carihuela side of Torremolinos, with two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private covered terrace oriented south-east towards the Mediterranean. The building dates from 1970 and has a lift to the seventh floor, with one additional flight of stairs to the apartment. The property holds a confirmed valid tourist-rental licence with a documented booking history and an established Airbnb track record. The price is 415,000 euro. The beach, the seafront promenade, supermarkets and public transport are all within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Montemar sits between Torremolinos town centre and the La Carihuela beach district, roughly 4 km from central Málaga and around 10 minutes by car from Málaga Airport. Playa del Pez Espada and the seafront promenade are approximately five minutes on foot. Supermarkets, a pharmacy, banking and bus stops are all within a short walk, so daily errands do not require a car.
The apartment is arranged as a functional two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a kitchen-lounge layout, fitted wardrobes, hot and cold air conditioning, fibre optic connection and a covered terrace with sea views. Furniture is optional. It suits both permanent residence and seasonal use, given the established tourist licence and coastal position.
This is not a new-build development. The Eurosol building was completed in 1970 and the apartment is ready for immediate occupation. Its documented condition is listed as excellent. As a resale property, purchase timelines, guarantees and legal checks follow resale rather than off-plan procedures.
The property offers no private parking space; parking is on-street. There is no mention of a communal pool, garden or storage room, and no private garden. Access involves one flight of stairs above the lift's seventh-floor stop. The building is a 1970s construction, so thermal and acoustic performance differs from modern new-build standards.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a licensed rental asset with proven performance will find the valid tourist licence, documented booking accounts and the 4.83/5 Airbnb rating from 93 reviews directly relevant, particularly since prior income was earned without full peak-season availability. A couple wanting a lock-and-leave second home within walking distance of the beach benefits from the lift-served building, on-foot access to shopping and pharmacy, and the short airport transfer, which shortens travel days considerably compared with more distant coastal areas. Buyers planning partial or full relocation to the coast will value the commuter rail link into Málaga and the everyday urban services of Torremolinos. The two-bathroom layout suits households that regularly host guests. Conversely, the property fits less well for buyers who want private parking, a communal pool, a garden or a modern new-build energy standard. Those seeking silence and low density may find the Montemar beachfront strip busy in summer. In short, the apartment addresses buyers whose priority is location, view, walkability and rental documentation rather than resort-style facilities.
The apartment's condition is documented as excellent, which for a 1970 building indicates a thorough refurbishment of the interior. The photographs show a modern white fitted kitchen integrated with the lounge area, a contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower and mirror, and a living room with glazed doors onto the terrace. Practical interior features include fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a hot-and-cold air conditioning system for year-round climate control. A fibre optic connection supports remote work and streaming. The covered terrace extends the usable living space and is oriented south-east, giving morning sun and sea views while providing shade cover in the warmer hours. As a building from 1970, the construction itself predates current technical building code requirements: no data is provided on external wall insulation, double glazing throughout, or an energy performance certificate rating, and buyers should request the ITE (technical building inspection) status and the community of owners' documentation. The lift serves the seventh floor, with the apartment reached by one further internal flight, a common arrangement in buildings of this era where the top level was added above the original lift shaft. No information is available about the building's roof condition, façade maintenance history or communal fee structure; these are standard due-diligence items for resale purchases in older buildings on the Costa del Sol and should be verified before commitment.
The asking price is 415,000 euro for a single completed apartment of 103 m² built, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. This positions the property at roughly 4,000 euro per built square metre, in line with sea-view resale apartments in the Torremolinos beach districts. There is no price range within the project since this concerns one individual resale unit. Furniture is optional and would be subject to separate negotiation. Transaction costs, transfer tax and notary fees follow standard Andalusian resale procedures.
Daily life here follows the rhythm of an established coastal neighbourhood. Mornings can start on the south-east facing terrace with views over the Mediterranean, with sun through the first part of the day. The beach and the promenade at La Carihuela are about five minutes' walk away, which makes seaside walking, swimming and the chiringuito culture of the area part of the ordinary routine rather than an excursion. Groceries are handled on foot: a supermarket and pharmacy sit within a couple of hundred metres, and the wider La Carihuela and Montemar strip offers restaurants, shops and services along the seafront. The apartment itself works as a compact full-time home for a couple or small family, with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms allowing guests or two sharers independent use. The living room opens through glazed doors onto the covered terrace, which functions as an additional sitting space for much of the year. Because the property already operates as a licensed tourist rental with a documented history, the rhythm of the home can shift between owner use and letting. The previous owners reserved most of July and August for themselves, so the recorded income understates what full peak-season availability could generate. Transport is straightforward: bus lines stop nearby, the Cercanías commuter rail connects Torremolinos with Málaga centre and Fuengirola, and the airport is a short drive. A car is useful but not necessary.
Montemar and La Carihuela form one continuous seafront district between Torremolinos centre and the Benalmádena boundary. The immediate surroundings are urban and service-dense: a supermarket within roughly 150 metres, a pharmacy around the corner, and the seafront promenade about five minutes on foot, running for several kilometres towards both Torremolinos' Playa del Bajondillo and Benalmádena's marina. The area is lively in the summer season, with tourist traffic along the beachfront, and quieter but fully operational in winter, since La Carihuela is a year-round residential neighbourhood with a substantial local population. Public transport includes bus lines with multiple stops in the district and the nearby Cercanías rail link, which reaches Málaga centre in around 20 minutes and the airport in fewer than 10. Views from the top-floor position extend over the sea, the beach and, per the listing, the port and urban skyline. Several viewpoints and sports facilities lie within a few kilometres, including equestrian centres and municipal sports halls. An electric vehicle charging point sits under 900 metres away. Daily life can reasonably be conducted on foot or by bicycle, with a car reserved for regional trips.
The map shows the apartment's position in Montemar between Torremolinos and La Carihuela, minutes from the seafront promenade. Málaga Airport lies a short drive north-east, and central Málaga is roughly 4 km along the coast. The three golf courses to the north-west and Benalmádena Marina to the west frame the wider surroundings.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Montemar occupies the western edge of Torremolinos, bordering Benalmádena, roughly midway between Málaga city (4 km) and Fuengirola (about 20 km). This places it closer to the airport and the provincial capital than almost any other beach district on the Costa del Sol, while retaining its own consolidated beachfront identity. Compared with Marbella (44 km) or Estepona further west, the location trades exclusivity and distance for connectivity and year-round urban services. Compared with inland Málaga province, it offers direct beach access without a daily drive.
The beach at Playa del Pez Espada is approximately a five-minute walk. Central Málaga lies about 4 km away, reachable by commuter train or car in around 20 minutes. Málaga Airport is roughly a 10-minute drive, one of the shortest airport transfers available anywhere on the Costa del Sol. Marbella is approximately 44 km west, and Granada around 93 km, both practical for day trips. Golfers have three courses within reach: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at about 5 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 7 km, and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at just under 8 km. A hospital sits approximately 1.3 km away, and the supermarket and pharmacy are within 150 metres of the front door.

The Málaga coast records on the order of 3,000-plus sunshine hours per year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from roughly 7°C on winter nights to 26°C on summer days and an annual mean near 18°C. The sea warms above 20°C for approximately four months of the year, from late June into October, which defines the comfortable swimming season at La Carihuela's beaches. The apartment sits at sea level on flat terrain, so no slopes or stairs intervene between the building and the promenade. The south-east orientation of the terrace means morning sun and afternoon shade, a practical arrangement for breakfast outdoors and for managing summer heat. Winters are mild enough that the terrace remains usable for most of the year with the cover providing shelter from occasional rain.

The closest beach, Playa del Pez Espada, is approximately five minutes on foot, followed by the continuous stretch of La Carihuela beach and its long promenade. The area's beaches are urban, serviced and monitored in season, with chiringuitos, beach bars and water-sports rental along the front. The district is historically the heart of Torremolinos' fishing-village heritage, and its seafood restaurants remain a principal attraction. Recreation on land includes the seafront cycle and walking route, gyms and municipal sports facilities within a few kilometres, and equestrian centres inland. Benalmádena Marina, with its boat trips and nightlife, is a short drive or a longer seaside walk away. For golf, three 18-hole courses lie within 8 km of the apartment.

Within the wider Málaga coastal market, this Montemar apartment occupies a distinct niche compared with the new-build alternatives in the region. Projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from 269,950 euro), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from 205,000 euro) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from 269,000 euro) offer modern construction, current energy standards and typically communal pools and parking, but at greater distances from Málaga city and the airport: Torre del Mar is around 35 km east, Estepona around 80 km west, and Mijas Costa roughly 25 km west. This apartment inverts that trade-off. It sits roughly 4 km from Málaga centre and about 10 minutes from the airport, in a fully consolidated neighbourhood where daily needs are met on foot, and it offers something none of the new-build projects can: a documented tourist-rental operation with a valid licence, recorded accounts and a 4.83/5 guest rating from 93 reviews. Licence availability has tightened considerably across Andalusia, and a transferable operating history reduces both regulatory and commercial uncertainty for rental-focused buyers. Against these strengths stand the realities of a 1970 building: no private parking, no communal pool or garden mentioned, and construction standards from before modern insulation requirements. Price-wise, at 415,000 euro for 103 m² with sea views, it is priced above the entry-level new-build comparables, which reflects the licence, the top-floor view position and the walkable beachfront location rather than the age of the building. Buyers comparing options should weigh immediate rental income and connectivity against new-build amenities and lower entry prices further along the coast.
