A small-scale new development in El Limonar, one of east Málaga's established residential neighbourhoods, within walking distance of the beaches of El Palo and Las Acacias. The project comprises five residences in total, three of which have already been sold and two of which remain available. Homes measure between 140 and 221 square metres with three to four bedrooms and bathrooms, private pools and gardens, and finishes including PORCELANOSA materials. Construction is under way, with completion indicatively expected in the fourth quarter of 2028. Prices of the remaining homes range from €1,790,000 to €2,700,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The site sits in El Limonar, an established part of east Málaga directly connected to the coast. Playa de El Palo lies 485 metres away as the crow flies, with Las Acacias at 530 metres and Pedregalejo at 1.0 km. A supermarket is 150 metres away, a pharmacy 115 metres, and a hospital 985 metres. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 13 km away in a straight line.
The homes combine three to four bedrooms with an equal number of bathrooms, including ensuite facilities. Each residence has a private pool, private garden, covered terrace and solarium. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, and domotics are installed. The kitchen-lounge layout connects cooking and living space in one continuous area oriented towards the garden and pool.
Planning permission is in place and construction has started. Completion is indicatively scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028, meaning buyers should count on a handover more than three years away at the time of writing. Three of the five residences have already been sold; two remain available. Delivery dates in Spanish new-build projects are indicative and may shift during construction.
The project does not include communal facilities such as a shared pool, gym or landscaped communal zones; outdoor space is private per residence. There is no mention of parking spaces, storage rooms or an elevator in the available data. The number of homes is limited to two available units. Golf courses are not within walking distance; the nearest is about 12 km away as the crow flies.
This project suits a buyer who wants a city residence on the Mediterranean rather than a resort villa. The profile that fits is someone who values walking to the beach, the bakery and the pharmacy, and who wants Málaga's restaurants, museums and cultural calendar within easy reach. Buyers relocating permanently will find the practical infrastructure relevant: a hospital within one kilometre, 147 primary schools and 101 secondary schools in the surrounding area, and dense public transport with 27 lines and 50 stops. The ensuite bathrooms and three-to-four bedroom layouts work for families and for couples who regularly host guests. The private pool, garden, solarium and domotics point towards buyers who want standalone-home features without maintaining a large rural plot. A second-home buyer who wants a lock-up-and-leave base in the city is another realistic user, although the construction timeline matters: completion is indicatively in the fourth quarter of 2028, so this is a purchase for someone planning several years ahead rather than for next summer. Buyers who want golf on the doorstep should note that the nearest course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is about 12 km away as the crow flies. The scale of the project, five homes of which two remain, also means this is not a option for buyers seeking a large resort community with shared facilities and on-site management.
The developer specifies PORCELANOSA materials and finishes throughout, a Spanish brand widely used in the mid-to-higher segment of the new-build market for tiles, bathroom fittings and joinery. Kitchens come fully equipped with high-range appliances and are laid out as a kitchen-lounge, connecting the cooking area directly with the living space and the view of the garden and pool. Climate control is twofold: hot and cold air conditioning, which covers both the Andalusian summer, when average monthly temperatures reach about 25°C, and the winter months, when averages drop to around 9°C. Domotics are installed, allowing centralised control of lighting and climate functions. Each home has an ensuite bathroom in addition to the further bathrooms, and an entry-phone security system at the access point. Outdoor construction includes a covered terrace, an open private terrace and a solarium, giving three distinct outdoor zones per residence. The images show a pool-and-lounge terrace arrangement, bedrooms with outward views, and a living-dining space oriented towards the pool. Interior sizes run from 140 to 221 square metres, which at the top end provides the space of a substantial family home. No energy label or certification data is available in the project documentation, so buyers should request the technical specification directly from the developer. As with all new-build projects in the construction phase, final finish levels should be confirmed in the purchase contract, including the exact appliance list and the materials schedule for each remaining unit.
The two remaining residences are priced between €1,790,000 and €2,700,000. This is a firm asking-price structure per home, not a promotional price list. The price band reflects the variation between the available units, with the larger configurations of up to 221 square metres and four bedrooms at the upper end. Given that three of the five homes have already been sold, availability is limited to the two remaining properties. Buyers should verify with the developer which exact unit corresponds to which price, what is included in the specification, and which additional costs apply, such as VAT on new-build purchases, notary fees and land registry charges.
Daily life here takes place on foot. The nearest supermarket is 150 metres from the site and a pharmacy 115 metres, which means basic shopping does not require a car. The beach is a short stroll: Playa de El Palo at 485 metres and Playa de las Acacias at 530 metres as the crow flies, with the promenade and beachfront restaurants of Pedregalejo about a kilometre away. This stretch of coast is part of the city rather than a resort, so it functions year-round: the chiringuitos, fish restaurants and seafront walks are used by residents in December as much as in July. El Limonar itself is a low-rise residential neighbourhood with a quiet, mature character. The gradient towards the sea is flat at around two per cent, so the walk to the beach involves no serious climb, which matters for older residents and for carrying shopping. The elevation of roughly 11 metres above sea level keeps the homes close to sea level without being directly on the waterfront. Within two kilometres there are more than fifty restaurants, fourteen cafés and eleven banks, plus three sports centres between 400 and 800 metres away. A hospital lies within one kilometre and 26 health centres serve the wider urban area. Public transport is dense: 27 lines and 50 stops serve the area, so travel into the centre of Málaga does not depend on a car. For buyers used to coastal developments where a car is essential, this location works differently: the car is an option, not a requirement.
The neighbourhood functions as part of the city of Málaga, which shapes daily life considerably. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 53 restaurants, 14 cafés and 16 pharmacies, meaning that the area does not empty out outside the tourist season. The tourism data, 89 hotels and over 12,500 beds, refers to the wider urban area and indicates a substantial visitor economy, but El Limonar itself is residential in character. Three sports centres, Aviva! at 400 metres, SportMiraflores at 600 metres and Polideportivo Municipal José Paterna at 800 metres, cover indoor training, swimming and municipal sports. For boating, Puerto Deportivo del Candado is 1.8 km away, with the larger IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo around 4.6 to 4.7 km from the site. Several viewpoints on the eastern side of the city, Mirador Este at 2.0 km among them, offer walking destinations with coastal views. An electric-vehicle charging point is 194 metres away. Hospital coverage is within one kilometre, and the density of schools in the urban area is high, making the location workable for families. Traffic follows normal urban patterns; as in any city neighbourhood, rush hours on the coastal road are busier than midday.
The map shows the site in El Limonar, east Málaga, with the beaches of El Palo and Las Acacias immediately to the south and the city centre a short distance west. The flat coastal strip, the airport 13 km to the west and the marinas to the east and centre are all marked.

El Limonar lies on the eastern side of Málaga city, which distinguishes it from the resort developments further along the coast towards Marbella and Estepona. This is a city district with full urban infrastructure, not a purpose-built tourist zone. The position between the historic centre and the eastern beaches places residents about 15 minutes from the Alcazaba, the Picasso Museum and the city's cultural calendar, while retaining direct beach access. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, east Málaga trades resort density for urban convenience and year-round life.
Beaches are the strongest accessibility point: Playa de El Palo at 485 metres and Playa de las Acacias at 530 metres as the crow flies, with actual walking distance somewhat longer by road. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 13 km away in a straight line, roughly a 20 to 30 minute drive depending on traffic; Gibraltar Airport is about 109 km and Alicante-Elche about 378 km straight-line. Golf requires a car: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 12 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 14 to 15 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 15 km. Public transport is extensive for a coastal location, with 27 lines and 50 stops in the area, connecting the eastern districts with the city centre and the transport hub. Many daily amenities are reachable on foot or by bicycle: supermarket at 150 metres, pharmacy at 115 metres, EV charging at 194 metres and hospital at 985 metres. A car remains useful for airport runs and trips along the coast, but it is not a daily necessity.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures between 9°C in the coldest months and 25°C in summer, with an annual average of 17°C. This is a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers, moderated by the coastal position. The site sits at approximately 11 metres above sea level with a gradient of about two per cent towards the beach, meaning flat access to the sea with no significant slope. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, concentrated in the summer half of the year; outside that window the sea is cooler, although the beaches remain usable for walking and outdoor life year-round. The mountain views mentioned in the project features refer to the hills behind the city visible from the homes, while the immediate outlook is towards the garden, pool and sea. Sun hours on the Costa del Sol are among the highest in Spain, which matters for the solarium and terraces: outdoor living is realistic for most of the year, not only in summer.

Three beaches lie within a kilometre as the crow flies: Playa de El Palo (485 m), Playa de las Acacias (530 m) and Playa de Pedregalejo (1.0 km). Pedregalejo and El Palo are traditional fishing-quarter beaches with a seafront promenade, beachfront restaurants and a local rather than resort atmosphere; they are among the most used urban beaches in the city. Recreational options beyond the beach include three sports centres within 800 metres and the marinas at Puerto Deportivo del Candado (1.8 km), IGY Málaga Marina (4.6 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (4.7 km) for sailing and berthing. Golfers have three courses within a 15 km radius, all reachable by car in roughly 20 minutes. The viewpoints on the eastern side of the city, at two to three kilometres, add walking routes with coastal panoramas. Water sports, paddle rental and beach volleyball are typical activities along this stretch of coast during the season.

Within the Costa del Sol new-build market, this project occupies a different segment from the comparable developments in the wider region. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those are large-scale suburban or resort-style developments at the entry level of the market, typically apartment living with communal pools, aimed at second-home buyers and investors. This El Limonar project, at €1,790,000 to €2,700,000, sits in the top tier of the eastern Málaga market, and the product is correspondingly different: five homes only, each with a private pool, private garden and solarium, sized from 140 to 221 square metres. The comparison illustrates a broader split in the regional market. Volume developments cluster in the growth areas west of Málaga and along the eastern axial coast towards Torre del Mar and Vélez, where land is cheaper and buyers prioritise price per square metre. Central and eastern Málaga city, by contrast, has limited land for new construction, which keeps the supply of new-build homes small and prices high. For buyers, the trade-off is clear: a unit in Estepona or Mijas buys more interior space and communal facilities for the budget, but requires a car for daily life and sits in a seasonal resort economy. The El Limonar homes cost a multiple of those prices but deliver an urban, walkable location with the beach under 500 metres away, a hospital within one kilometre, 27 bus lines and the year-round city at the doorstep. The eastern city districts have also seen steady price growth as Málaga itself has developed into one of Spain's most sought-after cities, supported by the airport 13 km away and the expansion of tech and service employment. In that context, the project's pricing reflects scarcity of new-build product in established city neighbourhoods rather than resort speculation.
