This key-ready apartment in Las Lagunas, on the Fuengirola side of Mijas, offers 132 m² of living space with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Completed in 2021, the property is fully furnished and includes a south-facing covered terrace, an open-plan fitted kitchen with a separate utility room, underground parking and a storage room. The building provides a lift, communal pool, gym and sauna. The asking price is fixed at €485,000. Daily amenities are concentrated nearby, with the beach at Playa de Santa Amalia roughly 1.7 km away as the crow flies.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this €485,000 resale apartment sits above the entry prices of comparable new-build projects further along the coast. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those are base prices for unfinished units, typically excluding furniture, appliances, parking and storage. Once those elements are added, the effective gap narrows considerably; this property bundles all of them at €485,000 with immediate availability and no construction risk. Location is the other differentiator. Torre del Mar and Estepona lie further from the airport and from the central Málaga, Marbella corridor, whereas Las Lagunas sits about 19 km from Malaga-Costa del Sol airport and 22 km from Marbella, with a train connection 1.2 km away. Against new-build apartments in Fuengirola and Mijas itself, the comparison is more direct: recent developments in this band of the coast regularly list at comparable or higher per-square-metre figures without furniture included. The district's market context supports liquidity, roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the area indicate consistent demand, and the flat terrain, full school provision and year-round services distinguish Las Lagunas from more seasonal resort zones. The trade-off is urban density and the absence of a sea panorama; buyers prioritising views over convenience will find alternatives in the hills of Mijas or along Marbella's front line at higher price points.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Las Lagunas is the inland district of Mijas adjoining Fuengirola, approximately 1.7 km from the coast in a straight line and 28 km from Málaga city. The area is flat, at roughly 30 metres above sea level. A Mercadona supermarket sits across the street, and Fuengirola's train station lies about 1.2 km away, connecting the district to the coastal rail line towards Málaga.
The apartment suits a full-time residence or a second home requiring no renovation work. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an en-suite, accommodate a family or visiting guests. The covered south-facing terrace extends the living space outdoors for most of the year, while air conditioning and central heating provide climate control across seasons.
The property was completed in 2021 and is in key-ready condition, sold fully furnished with appliances included. As an existing home rather than an off-plan project, there is no construction risk or waiting period; the buyer can move in directly after completion of the purchase process. The stated completion year is indicative of the building's age.
The property has no private pool; the pool is communal, as are the gym and sauna. There is no private garden, and the plot is not detached. The mountain and garden views do not include an unobstructed sea panorama. Furniture and decor are included as-is. Buyers seeking a detached villa, large plot or direct beachfront position should note these characteristics.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A household relocating to the Costa del Sol for work or retirement may value the year-round urban infrastructure: schools, health centres and public transport with eight bus lines and 50 stops in the area, plus the Cercanías rail link at Fuengirola station 1.2 km away. A family needing three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an en-suite for the main bedroom, avoids the morning congestion of single-bathroom homes. Buyers who want to use a property immediately, without furnishing, appliance shopping or renovation, benefit from the fully equipped, key-ready state. Part-year residents will find the communal pool, gym and sauna reduce the maintenance burden compared with a private villa, while the underground garage protects the car during absences. The location also suits those who prefer not to depend on a car for daily life; the supermarket across the street and the density of services make a car-free routine feasible, with a vehicle mainly useful for airport runs, Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 19 km away in a straight line. It is less suited to buyers seeking seclusion, a large private plot or a frontline beach position; those requirements point towards other segments of the market. Golfers, however, are reasonably placed, with three courses, Los Lagos, Cerrado del Águila and Los Olivos, between 2.6 and 3.3 km away.
The apartment dates from 2021, which places it within the current generation of Spanish residential construction: double glazing, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a fully fitted open-plan kitchen with top-category appliances, and a separate utility/laundry room. Climate control is twofold, air conditioning for summer and central heating for the cooler months, which is not universal in coastal apartments of this size and matters for full-time residents during Andalusian winters, when average monthly temperatures dip to around 14°C. The en-suite bathroom serves the main bedroom; the remaining bathrooms include a separate full bathroom plus a guest arrangement, totalling three. The covered terrace is an extension of the interior rather than an add-on: furnished for dining and lounging, it is usable in both summer shade and winter sun. The building itself provides a lift, communal pool, gym and sauna, facilities that in comparable new-build projects are often sold at a premium. Double glazing contributes to acoustic comfort given the urban setting. The apartment is sold fully furnished, with furniture and decor included, which shortens the move-in timeline considerably but also means the buyer accepts the existing interior rather than selecting finishes. An underground garage space and a private storage room complete the practical package; storage is a frequent constraint in apartment living and its presence here is a concrete advantage. Overall condition is described as excellent, consistent with a four-year-old property that has been maintained.
The asking price is €485,000, fixed, for the complete package: the 132 m² apartment, furniture, appliances, underground parking space and storage room. At this price the property equates to roughly €3,700 per square metre of living area. The price is not a starting point for a range of units; this is a single resale home completed in 2021. Buyers comparing against new-build projects should note that those prices typically exclude furniture, parking and storage, which are included here. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process. The completion date of 2021 is indicative.
Daily life here revolves around convenience. The apartment sits in a built-up residential district where a supermarket is directly across the street and roughly 180 restaurants, 55 cafés, 33 pharmacies and 21 banks operate within a two-kilometre radius. That density means most errands, groceries, pharmacy visits, coffee, dining, can be done on foot, which is not always the case in coastal developments set back from town centres. The beach at Playa de Santa Amalia is about 1.7 km away as the crow flies, an easy walk or short drive, with Playa de San Francisco and Playa del Castillo slightly further along the coast. The apartment's south orientation means the covered terrace receives sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, suitable for outdoor dining for much of the year given the regional climate of 14–26°C average monthly temperatures. Mornings can start with coffee on the terrace looking towards the mountains; evenings can end with a stroll along the Fuengirola seafront, which begins about 1.8 km away at the marina. The district is flat, so walking and cycling are practical. Las Lagunas functions year-round as a working neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort, so services remain open outside the summer months. For households with children, there are 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the vicinity, plus two health centres. Sport is well served: three municipal sports complexes sit within one kilometre, and a public swimming pool at Piscina María Peláez is 1.1 km away.
Las Lagunas is the most urban part of Mijas municipality and effectively borders Fuengirola, so residents use both town's facilities. Within two kilometres, the density of amenities, 180 restaurants, 55 cafés, 33 pharmacies, reflects a mature, fully serviced district rather than a developing one. Education covers the full school cycle with 15 primary and 10 secondary schools, and healthcare is provided through two health centres. The flat terrain at 30 metres elevation makes the area walkable and cycle-friendly, including the roughly 1.8% gradient route towards the beach. Sports infrastructure is notably close: Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 0.3 km, Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola at 0.8 km and Polideportivo Las Cañadas at 1.0 km, giving residents gym, pitch and court options within a short walk. The tourism footprint is modest, 10 hotels with about 2,131 beds, meaning the district does not empty in winter the way resort zones do. Housing market activity is substantial at around 3,800 transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, which matters for future liquidity.
The map shows the apartment's position in Las Lagunas relative to Fuengirola's coastline. Markers indicate the nearest beaches at roughly 1.7–2.0 km, the train station at 1.2 km and the sports facilities within one kilometre. Straight-line distances are shown; actual road distances are longer.

Las Lagunas occupies a pragmatic position on the Costa del Sol: inland of Fuengirola's seafront but close enough, under two kilometres, to reach it easily, and roughly midway between Málaga city (28 km) and Marbella (22 km). This places the property in the central band of the coast, with the airport about 19 km away and Gibraltar 77 km. Compared with the hillside developments of Mijas pueblo or the resort strips of Marbella, the district trades views and exclusivity for density of services and year-round urban life, a trade-off that suits some buyers and not others.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de Santa Amalia, lies 1.7 km away, with Playa de San Francisco at 1.8 km and Playa del Castillo at 2.0 km. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, the town's marina, is 1.8 km away. Fuengirola train station is 1.2 km distant, connecting along the coast towards Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga; Carvajal station is 4.8 km away. Eight public bus lines serve the area with 50 stops. By car, Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 19 km away as the crow flies, making airport access straightforward; Gibraltar airport is about 77 km. Marbella lies 22 km to the west and Málaga city 28 km to the east, both reachable via the A-7/AP-7 corridor. Golf courses sit between 2.6 and 3.3 km from the property.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.6°C and monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, realistically June through September. Elevation is low at 30 metres above sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is a flat 1.8%, so there are no hills between the apartment and the coast. The south-facing orientation of the covered terrace aligns with the sun's path, giving usable outdoor space across most of the calendar. The mountain views from the terrace reflect the district's position between the coastal plain and the Mijas sierra, which also shelters the area and contributes to the mild winter temperatures. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months; summers are predominantly dry and sunny.

The marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (1.8 km) adds waterfront dining and boat services. Golfers can reach three courses within a short drive: Mijas Golf's Campo Los Lagos at 2.6 km, Cerrado del Águila at 3.2 km and Campo Los Olivos at 3.3 km. For everyday sport, three municipal sports complexes operate within one kilometre, and the public Piscina María Peláez swimming pool is 1.1 km away.
