This project features a detached villa located in El Faro, Málaga, situated on a plot of 1,114 m². With a living area of 615 m², five bedrooms, and six bathrooms, the property offers substantial accommodation. The villa has been recently constructed and features a south-facing orientation. The location is characterized by its direct proximity to the coast; the beach is located less than 300 meters away. Amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies are accessible within a 600-meter radius. The residence is designed across three levels, connected by stairs and an elevator, including a basement of over 250 m² suitable for multifunctional use.
Compared to project Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000), this villa offers significantly more living space and plot size, justifying the higher price. Where Arosa targets a broader market segment, this object positions itself in the luxury segment due to the direct coastal location and the presence of an elevator and basement. In contrast to Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), the difference lies mainly in the property type: here it is a detached villa with a private pool, versus apartments or penthouses in a residential complex. Consequently, privacy in this project is significantly greater. Astra Homes in Fuengirola (from €364,000) offers a different dynamic, focused on affordability and compactness. The price of €4,114,000 for this project reflects exclusivity and spacious land ownership in an urban coastal environment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in El Faro, a district in the municipality of Mijas Costa. The location falls within an urban environment with a direct position on the coastline. The property is within a stone's throw of Playa del Faro - Punta Calaburras. The surrounding buildings primarily consist of residential homes and tourist facilities. The property features a southern orientation, resulting in maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day.
The layout of the villa is focused on living comfort across multiple levels. The main floor houses the living spaces and two bedrooms, making this level suitable for daily living. The first floor provides two additional bedrooms and a study room, offering functionality for work or guests. The basement provides parking space for multiple vehicles and significant storage space or potential for recreational setup, ensuring flexibility in the use of the home.
This property is a new construction project, specifically marked as 'Excellent' and 'New Construction'. The architecture is described as modern and ultra-modern, with contemporary finishes and installations. The home is fully equipped with air conditioning for both heating and cooling. The technical condition of the property is new, ensuring compliance with current building standards and requirements regarding living comfort and insulation.
Given the urban density of the surroundings and the proximity to amenities and the coast, there may be environmental noise and activity during the summer months. The home spans three levels connected by stairs; although an elevator is present, the stairs form a physical part of the routing. The basement space is currently raw or functionally fitted as a garage and machine room, meaning certain applications, such as an extra guest suite, would require finishing work.
This project is suitable for households that place high value on privacy and direct access to the coast without relying on tourist complexes. The layout with multiple floors and the spacious basement offers flexibility for families combining work and living, or for situations where long-term guests stay. The presence of an elevator makes the object suitable for those experiencing mobility limitations or wishing to avoid stair climbs. It is also fitting for car enthusiasts desiring parking space on private property, as the basement offers a solution. The location in El Faro suits those seeking the vibrancy of the Costa del Sol but requiring a sheltered living environment at the end of the day.
The villa features a modern finish with materials tailored for contemporary living. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a separate utility room, indicating a practical layout. The presence of air conditioning, both cold and hot, ensures a pleasant indoor climate throughout the year. Additionally, fitted wardrobes provide efficient storage space. The construction includes an elevator installation, integrated both technically and aesthetically into the design. The outdoor space is arranged with a swimming pool and a barbecue area, supporting the quality of outdoor living.
The asking price for this project is €4,114,000. This price level positions the villa in the higher segment of the real estate market in Mijas Costa. The price reflects the combination of the 1,114 m² plot size, the spacious construction of 615 m², the proximity to the beach, and the luxury finish. Compared to apartments in the immediate vicinity, this represents a significant investment in privacy and living space. Variation in price is not relevant for this specific project, as it is a single property.
El Faro offers a living environment where the sea and the beach are integral parts of the daily rhythm. The location within walking distance of supermarkets and restaurants supports a lifestyle where a car is not always necessary for daily groceries. In the mornings, one can walk to the coast, while the afternoon can be spent on the private terrace and pool, sheltered from the wind. The presence of an elevator makes the home accessible for all ages, contributing to lifelong livability. The evenings offer views of the Mediterranean Sea, with lighting and modern finishes defining the atmosphere. The basement provides practical space for storing sports equipment or as a workspace, increasing the functional usability of the plot.
The immediate environment of the villa is characterized by a mix of permanent residence and tourism. Within a short distance, various dining establishments are present; there are 31 restaurants within a 2-kilometer radius. The proximity to Playa del Faro and Playa del Charcón makes the beach a daily destination. The district is urban in character, meaning facilities such as banks and cafes are in direct proximity. This creates an environment that is lively, yet immediately around the plot offers privacy due to the private garden and positioning of the house.
The map shows the location of the project in El Faro, directly adjacent to the coastline of Málaga. The blue markers indicate the beaches (Playa del Faro) and golf courses in the immediate vicinity. Distances to the airport (AGP) and Carvajal train station are indicated to illustrate accessibility. The dense development surrounding the project shows the urban context of the district.
The villa is situated in El Faro, part of the municipality of Mijas. This location is centrally located on the west coast of Málaga, between the larger cities of Fuengirola and Marbella. The positioning is strategic: close to the busy Fuengirola, yet with a direct connection to the highway towards Marbella and the airport. The El Faro district serves as a residential area with both permanent and temporary occupation, characterized by the direct seaside location. This distinguishes it from projects further inland that are more dependent on car transport.
The property is accessible via the local road network running along the coast. Málaga Airport is located at a distance of 22 kilometers, which means approximately 20 to 25 minutes of driving under normal traffic conditions. For public transport, the train stations Carvajal (4.8 km) and Fuengirola (5.9 km) are the nearest access points. There are 5 public transport lines in the vicinity and 50 stops, guaranteeing a good connection with surrounding coastal towns like Fuengirola and Málaga. For daily groceries, a supermarket is located 354 meters away, accessible on foot. Medical care is available at a hospital 12 kilometers away.
