A five-bedroom apartment of approximately 200 m² on the top floor of a four-storey residential building in Pedregalejo, an established seaside district of Málaga. The asking price is fixed at €1,312,000, with the property completed in 1978 and available as a key-ready home. The residence offers panoramic views over the Mediterranean, Málaga Bay and the city, and includes a large terrace, two private parking spaces with lift access, and a storage room. The seafront promenade sits within a short walk, and Málaga city centre lies roughly 4 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Pedregalejo, a coastal neighbourhood on the eastern side of Málaga. Playa de Pedregalejo lies about 0.4 km away in a straight line, with several other beaches within one kilometre. Málaga city centre is roughly 4 km away by direct distance, and the airport approximately 9 km. The district combines a fishing-village character with the amenities of a city of nearly 580,000 inhabitants.
The layout provides a living room in two sections with a fireplace, a separate dining room, a separate kitchen with breakfast area and utility room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in dressing room, an en-suite bathroom and direct terrace access. Two entrances, one main and one service, and two parking spaces in the building support practical household use for a larger family or regular hosting.
This is an existing home, built in 1978, offered as key-ready with a fixed asking price rather than a new-build price list. The interior features wooden flooring and central heating, and the property is sold unfurnished. Completion dates and availability figures typical of off-plan developments do not apply here; the transaction timeline follows the standard resale purchase process in Spain once a sale is agreed.
The property is not part of a new-build development, so there is no developer warranty structure, no choice of finishes and no staged payment plan. It is offered unfurnished. The building dates from 1978, which means the buyer should factor in the age of installations when planning maintenance or renovation. A communal swimming pool, gym or similar on-site facilities are not listed among the amenities of this residence.
This property suits a buyer seeking a substantial, characterful home with sea views in an established city district rather than a modern development on an urbanisation. A family needing five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two independent entrances will find the layout supports multi-generational living or regular guests. The two parking spaces and storage room make it workable for a household that keeps two cars. It also fits a buyer who wants to personalise a property. Built in 1978 and presented with original character such as the fireplace and wooden floors, the residence offers scope for refurbishment into a bespoke home, and the asking price should be assessed with that potential in mind. The location suits those who prefer urban convenience: walkable amenities, train links to the centre, and the cultural offering of Málaga about 4 km away as the crow flies. It is less suited to buyers looking for a new-build community with communal pools and gyms, a golf-side setting, or a quiet inland position. Golf courses lie roughly 12 km or more away by direct distance, which places them within reach but not on the doorstep. Buyers seeking a turnkey, fully modernised interior should also verify the current condition of installations before committing, as the property is sold unfurnished and in its existing state.
The residence was completed in 1978 and the current presentation reflects that period, with wooden flooring throughout the living areas and a fireplace in the main living room. The finishes are consistent with a well-maintained older apartment rather than a contemporary development: there is no mention of upgraded glazing, fitted smart-home systems or a modernised thermal envelope, so an assessment of energy performance and insulation would form part of any prudent purchase inspection. The technical layout is generous by modern standards. The built area of approximately 200 m² accommodates a dual-aspect living arrangement, a separate dining room, a separate kitchen with breakfast area and utility room, and a full principal-bedroom suite with walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Central heating is installed, which is a practical advantage in a coastal apartment, as many Spanish homes of this era rely on standalone units. The building itself has four storeys with a lift, landscaped communal gardens, and private parking within the same structure, with lift access connecting to the parking level. Two independent entrances, one main and one service, are an older-generation feature that adds functional flexibility. Prospective buyers should treat the 1978 construction date as a signal to commission a technical survey covering electrics, plumbing and structural condition, and to budget for renovation works if the intention is to bring the interior up to contemporary standards. The property is delivered key-ready but unfurnished, so no furniture or appliances are included in the sale.
The asking price is fixed at €1,312,000 for the complete property; this is not a from-price and there is no unit list, since the residence is a single existing home. The price includes the agency fees of the selling party, while notary, registry and property transfer tax (ITP) costs are excluded, in line with Andalusian Decree 218/2005. At roughly 200 m² of built area, the price corresponds to about €6,560 per square metre before negotiation. The property is sold key-ready and unfurnished, with two parking spaces and a storage room included in the arrangement. As an existing home from 1978, the purchase follows the standard Spanish resale route rather than a new-build payment schedule.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around the combination of sea views, generous interior space and the walkable scale of Pedregalejo. The top-floor position in a four-storey building with landscaped communal gardens means the home receives light and outlook without the verticality of a high-rise. The south-facing orientation places the main living spaces and the terrace towards the sun, so the outdoor area functions as an extension of the interior for much of the year. The terrace itself is arranged with a lounge section and a separate dining pavilion, which supports outdoor meals and extended periods outside during the long warm season. The neighbourhood operates at street level. Within a two-kilometre radius the data shows 363 restaurants, 155 cafés, 81 pharmacies and 64 banks, which indicates that almost every daily errand can be completed on foot. The seafront promenade, a few minutes away, serves as the natural axis of the district for walking, running and evening strolls. Sports facilities are close at hand as well: the Aviva! centre and the Polideportivo Municipal La Mosca are each roughly 0.5 km away, and SportMiraflores about 1.1 km. For a household of five to seven people, the five-bedroom layout with two independent entrances allows separation between family areas and service or guest circulation. The walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom in the principal bedroom, combined with direct terrace access, create a self-contained private wing. The two parking spaces with lift access and the storage room reduce the practical frictions of urban coastal living. Málaga Centro Alameda station is about 0.9 km away in a direct line, with 50 public transport lines and 50 stops recorded in the area, so a car is useful but not essential.
Pedregalejo sits on Málaga's eastern seafront, and the apartment's position roughly 0.4 km from Playa de Pedregalejo in a straight line places the beach within an easy walk. Playa de las Acacias lies about 0.6 km away and Playa de los Baños del Carmen about 1.0 km, giving residents a choice of stretches along the same bay. The terrain is essentially flat, with a recorded gradient of 0.0% towards the beach, so walking and cycling require no effort on slopes. The density of daily amenities is high. The two-kilometre dataset counts 363 restaurants, 155 cafés, 81 pharmacies, 64 banks and 22 dentists, which reflects a fully urbanised neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort. Out of the summer months the district remains populated year-round, which matters for buyers who intend to live in the property outside the holiday season. Train access is a distinguishing feature for a coastal location: Atarazanas station is about 0.6 km away in a direct line, Málaga Centro Alameda about 0.9 km and Guadalmedina about 1.2 km. Fifty public transport lines and 50 stops serve the wider area. For drivers, the Malagua-Costa del Sol airport (AGP) lies roughly 9 km away as the crow flies. Three Iberdrola electric-vehicle charging points are located between 0.8 km and 2.2 km away, which supports EV ownership. Sports provision is strong, with two municipal and private centres within about half a kilometre.
The map shows the property's position in Pedregalejo, directly east of Málaga's historic centre along the bay. The nearest beach lies about 400 metres away in a straight line, with train stations, sports centres and the seafront promenade all within roughly one kilometre, a setting where the Mediterranean and the city sit side by side.

Within the Costa del Sol, this property represents the urban end of the market: a city apartment in Málaga's seaside district rather than a resort development. Málaga itself, with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, is the region's capital and transport hub, about 4 km away by direct distance. Marbella lies some 52 km west and represents the resort-and-villa segment of the coast, while Granada, 85 km to the north-east, adds a mainland cultural dimension within day-trip range. The position suits buyers who want coastal living with genuine city infrastructure, year-round services and direct airport access, rather than the quieter, more car-dependent patterns of residential urbanisations further along the coast.
Distances below are straight-line measurements; actual road distances may be longer. The nearest beaches are Playa de Pedregalejo at 0.4 km, Playa de las Acacias at 0.6 km and Playa de los Baños del Carmen at 1.0 km. The nearest Blue Flag beach, San Andrés, lies about 2.1 km away. Málaga city centre is about 4 km from the property by direct distance, providing access to the historic quarter, cultural institutions and the main railway hub. Marbella lies roughly 52 km away and Granada about 85 km, both feasible as day trips by car. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 9 km away as the crow flies, which places flights within a short transfer; Gibraltar Airport lies about 104 km away. Golf requires a car: Club de Golf Málaga Parador is the closest at 11.8 km, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 14.2 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 14.7 km. Marinas at Puerto Deportivo del Candado (2.6 km), IGY Málaga Marina (3.9 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (4.0 km) serve boating interests. Within the district itself, a car is not strictly necessary given the flat terrain, dense amenities and public transport coverage; the two private parking spaces mainly add convenience for trips further afield.

The location sits at sea level with an elevation of 0 m, and the approach to the coast is entirely flat, which distinguishes it from hillside developments further along the Costa del Sol where slopes and stairs are part of daily life. The average annual temperature is 19.4°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 15°C in winter to 28°C in summer. This pattern supports outdoor use of the south-facing terrace across most of the calendar. The swimming season extends to roughly six months during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, typically from late spring into autumn. Sunshine hours follow the Andalusian coastal norm of a long dry summer and a mild, moderately wet winter. For residents, the practical consequences are central heating being sufficient in winter months, minimal need for air conditioning at the immediate coast on many days, and a climate that favours walking and terrace living for the majority of the year. The proximity of the sea also moderates temperature extremes compared with inland locations at the same latitude.

The immediate beach offering centres on the Pedregalejo bay: Playa de Pedregalejo at 0.4 km, Playa de las Acacias at 0.6 km and Playa de los Baños del Carmen at 1.0 km, all within walking distance along flat terrain. These are urban beaches lined by the seafront promenade and its chiringuitos, the traditional beach bars for which the district is known. The nearest Blue Flag beach, San Andrés, lies about 2.1 km away. Sports and recreation options are concentrated nearby. The Aviva! centre and Polideportivo Municipal La Mosca are each about 0.5 km from the property, and SportMiraflores about 1.1 km, covering gym, municipal sports and swimming-pool facilities. For sailing and mooring, Puerto Deportivo del Candado is 2.6 km away in a direct line, with the larger IGY Málaga Marina and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo around 4 km away. Golf is the one recreational activity that requires a longer journey: the nearest course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is 11.8 km away, with two further clubs within about 15 km. Compared with resorts in Estepona or Marbella where courses adjoin residential zones, this location trades golf proximity for city and beach access. Water sports, coastal walking and promenade-based recreation are the natural daily options here.

This property occupies a different segment of the Costa del Sol market from the region's new-build developments. Where projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) offer modern apartments at entry prices in quieter or more peripheral settings, this residence is an established city property with a fixed price of €1,312,000, roughly four times the from-price of those developments, but in a central Málaga seaside district with five bedrooms, sea views and two parking spaces. The trade-offs are structural. New-build projects deliver contemporary specifications, developer warranties and communal facilities such as pools, but typically require a car for daily errands and sit in areas with thinner year-round amenities. Pedregalejo inverts this: the 1978 construction means older installations and possible renovation costs, no communal pool or gym on site, and an interior that reflects an earlier era. In exchange, the buyer gets 363 restaurants, 155 cafés and 81 pharmacies within two kilometres, three train stations within 1.2 km of the door, a flat walk of roughly 400 metres to the beach, and the cultural weight of Málaga about 4 km away. Location within the region also differs. Torre del Mar and Estepona are coastal towns oriented towards holiday and second-home demand, with seasonal rhythms in their commercial life. Mijas spans hillside and coastal zones where new-build pricing reflects competitive positioning rather than urban centrality. Pedregalejo is part of a city of nearly 580,000 inhabitants, which means the neighbourhood functions at full intensity throughout the year. For a buyer comparing this property against new-build alternatives, the comparison is essentially one of urban substance against modern specification, a decision that rests on whether walkable city-coast living or contemporary resort amenities carry more weight in the intended use of the home.
