This completed three-bedroom corner penthouse is located in the Myrmar del Sol complex in Mijas Costa, in the Málaga province of Spain. Built in 2017 (indicative), the property offers 207 m² of living space with a south-facing orientation and an approximately 150 m² wrap-around terrace with views towards the sea, mountains and golf courses. The complex sits in an urbanised area with shops, pharmacies and other amenities within walking distance, roughly 4.2 km from the nearest beach and 14 km from Málaga airport. The dwelling includes two bathrooms (one en-suite), a fitted kitchen, communal pool and gardens, one underground parking space and a storage room.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Mijas Costa, the main commercial and residential zone adjoining Fuengirola. A supermarket lies 239 m away and a pharmacy 265 m, giving day-to-day self-sufficiency on foot. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is approximately 4.2 km away. Mijas Golf, La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola are all within a short drive, and Málaga airport is 14 km distant.
The dwelling addresses needs for space and outdoor living: 207 m² of interior plus a large corner terrace, three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom. Hot and cold air conditioning, fibre broadband, an alarm and video entry cover year-round comfort and connectivity. Communal gardens and a pool with a children's section serve leisure use within the complex.
The property was completed in 2017 (indicative) and is described as being in good to excellent condition. As a finished resale dwelling, there is no construction-phase uncertainty or waiting period; handover follows the standard Spanish resale purchase process. Marble flooring and fully tiled marble bathrooms are documented features of the finish.
The property does not include a private pool; pool access is communal. Only one underground parking space and one storage room are included, which may limit capacity for households with multiple vehicles. The nearest beach is over 4 km away, so the complex is not beachfront despite coastal-zone labelling. The slope towards the sea is recorded at 6.5%, described as steep. No private garden is included.
This property matches several recognisable situations. It suits buyers seeking a large-format, low-maintenance dwelling where lift-accessed apartment living replaces the upkeep of a villa, but where interior volume and terracing remain comparable to a house. The three double bedrooms and en-suite arrangement work both for permanent relocation by a family, supported by the documented school provision in the area, and for households accommodating visiting guests in a second home. The property also fits buyers for whom outdoor space is a priority: the wrap-around, south-facing terrace with sea, mountain and golf views is a defining element rather than an add-on. Golf players are positioned within 5–7 km of Mijas Golf, Los Lagos, Los Olivos and Lauro Golf. Buyers who want walkable daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, banks and restaurants within a short radius, will find the immediate surroundings functional without a car for errands. It is less aligned with buyers requiring direct beach access on foot; the coast lies over 4 km away with a steep gradient in between. Households with more than one vehicle should verify whether the single included parking space suffices. Finally, the year-round character of the area, evidenced by health centres, schools and permanent residential infrastructure, makes it relevant to buyers distinguishing between seasonal resort zones and established towns.
The documented finish level is high for the 2017 build year (indicative). Marble flooring runs throughout the interior, and both bathrooms are fully tiled in marble, which is a step above the standard ceramic specification common in coastal developments of the same period. The kitchen is fully fitted, with the image record showing dark cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. The lounge has high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glazing on two elevations, which affects both daylight levels and the perception of space; the master bedroom has patio doors directly onto the terrace. All bedrooms include large fitted wardrobes. Technical provisions include hot and cold air conditioning, video entry phone, an alarm system and fibre broadband connectivity. In terms of building services, the property runs on mains electricity. An energy efficiency rating is not stated in the available data; prospective buyers should request the certificado de eficiencia energética, which is mandatory for sale in Spain, to verify performance. Communal areas are reported as well maintained, including tropical gardens with a water feature, a large pool and a separate children's pool. Practical storage is provided through one underground parking space and a separate storage room. As with any resale, an independent survey is advisable to verify installation condition, community finances and building maintenance status, none of which can be confirmed from listing data alone.
The asking price is €645,000 for a completed three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 207 m², equating to roughly €3,100 per m² of built area, with the approximately 150 m² terrace included in the overall footprint. For context within the immediate market, comparable listed projects include Green Valley in Mijas Costa from €460,000 and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600, though differences in type, size and finish limit direct comparison. As a resale property, the price is fixed rather than phased; availability follows the vendor's timeline. Additional purchase costs under Spanish rules (transfer tax, notary, registry) apply on top of the stated price.
Daily life at this property centres on the combination of generous interior space and extensive outdoor terracing. The corner position with floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides of the lounge means daylight enters throughout the day, and the south orientation gives the terrace extended sun exposure in a location recording roughly 3,886 sunshine hours per year. The terrace, at approximately 150 m², wraps around the dwelling and functions as additional living space for much of the year, with documented views towards golf courses, mountains, the sea and the communal gardens. Within the complex, the routine is residential rather than touristic: maintained tropical gardens, a pool with a separate children's pool, and 24-hour security shape the daily environment. Outside the gates, the immediate surroundings are urban and practical. A supermarket at 239 m and a pharmacy at 265 m cover routine errands on foot, and a radius of two kilometres contains around 32 restaurants, three cafés, four banks and three further pharmacies. The area operates year-round, not only seasonally, supported by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider locality and two health centres. Mobility is mixed: a car is useful for beach visits and golf, given the 4.2 km distance to the coast and the 6.5% slope, but the Cercanías train stations at Carvajal (4.3 km) and Fuengirola (5.5 km), plus 50 bus stops across 8 local lines, provide alternatives for commuting towards Fuengirola or Málaga. The rhythm of the area is that of an established residential belt between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas: busy in summer, quieter off-season, with sports facilities such as the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club (2.4 km) and the municipal sports centre (1.8 km) within easy reach.
The immediate surroundings function as an established residential and commercial zone. Within a two-kilometre radius, the documented provision includes 32 restaurants, three cafés, four banks and three pharmacies, giving the area full daily-service coverage independent of tourism. Health infrastructure consists of two health centres nearby and a hospital 6.7 km away. Education provision, 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, indicates a permanent resident population rather than a seasonal resort belt. Recreational infrastructure is concentrated in sports: a municipal sports centre at 1.8 km, a public swimming pool at 1.9 km, and the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club at 2.4 km. Three viewpoints (Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 0.6 km and two others within 1.4 km) provide walking destinations in the immediate hills, consistent with the property's elevated position at 279 m above sea level. Transport options are layered: 50 bus stops across 8 lines locally, and rail connections at Carvajal (4.3 km) and Fuengirola (5.5 km) linking to the Málaga commuter line. The area hosts 10 hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, meaning tourist presence rises in summer but does not dominate the urban fabric. EV owners should note the nearest charging point, including a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola, is around 3.7–3.8 km away.
The map shows the property's elevated position between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas, roughly 4 km inland from the coast at 279 m altitude. Markers indicate the nearest supermarkets and pharmacy at walking distance, the rail stations at Carvajal and Fuengirola, and the cluster of golf courses to the north-east, the geography that shapes daily movement in this part of the Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Mijas Costa occupies the coastal belt between Fuengirola and Marbella, functioning as the main commercial-residential extension of Fuengirola. Regional positioning is central: Málaga (579,076 inhabitants) and Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) both lie roughly 24 km away in opposite directions, giving access to a major metropolitan centre and a premium resort town at equal distance. La Cala de Mijas is about two minutes' drive. The location combines urban-service density with proximity to golf hinterland, distinguishing it from both high-rise Fuengirola frontline and villa-dominant La Cala.
Straight-line distances place the property 4.2 km from Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, with Playa de Torreblanca (4.5 km) and Playa de los Boliches (4.7 km) as alternatives. Golf is closer than the coast: Los Lagos at 5.2 km, Los Olivos at 5.3 km and Mijas Golf at 5.7 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies approximately 15 km in a straight line, reachable by road in roughly 25 minutes in normal traffic. Gibraltar airport is about 80 km away. Fuengirola marina is 5.7 km distant. Daily provisions are the closest category of all: supermarket at 239 m and pharmacy at 265 m. The elevated position at 279 m with a 6.5% slope towards the sea means walking to the beach involves a sustained gradient; a car or the local bus/train network is the practical choice for coastal trips.

The climate data indicates a Mediterranean pattern: annual average temperature of 16.9 °C with monthly means ranging from 14 °C to 26 °C, and approximately 3,886 sunshine hours per year, a figure that supports extended terrace use from spring through autumn. The sea-warming season is more limited than the sun record suggests: water temperatures of 20 °C or above persist for roughly four months, concentrating comfortable sea swimming in summer, though the communal pool extends the swimming window independently. The property sits at 279 m above sea level, which explains the panoramic views over coast, golf and mountains, but also the 6.5% slope towards the sea, a factor in walking routes and cycling. Night-time temperatures in the 14 °C winter average make the documented hot and cold air conditioning relevant year-round rather than seasonally.

The nearest documented beaches are Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal (4.2 km), Playa de Torreblanca (4.5 km) and Playa de los Boliches (4.7 km), all towards Fuengirola; specific Blue Flag status is not confirmed in the available data and should be verified separately. Recreation inland is dominated by golf, with four courses, Los Lagos, Los Olivos, Mijas Golf and Lauro Golf, between 5.2 and 6.8 km away. Racquet sports are well served by the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club at 2.4 km. Municipal facilities include a sports centre at 1.8 km and a public pool at 1.9 km. Walking infrastructure includes three marked viewpoints within 1.4 km, suited to short hillside walks from the property. Fuengirola marina (5.7 km) provides the nearest waterfront leisure setting.

Within its immediate market context, this penthouse competes on space rather than on new-build specification. Green Valley in Mijas Costa lists from €460,000 and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600, while Aby Upper in Estepona starts at €320,000; these are development-led offerings where buyers accept construction timelines and phased pricing in exchange for modern specification. This property inverts that trade: it is completed, occupation is immediate, and the 2017 build year (indicative) with marble flooring and marble-tiled bathrooms already reflects a high finish standard, while the ~150 m² terrace and 207 m² interior deliver volume that new-build pricing at these comparison levels rarely matches per euro. Location-wise, the property sits in the Mijas Costa, Fuengirola belt, which differs from Estepona in density and service provision: 32 restaurants, four banks and three pharmacies within two kilometres, plus rail access via Carvajal station, give it an urban layer that Estepona's more dispersed developments lack. Relative to Marbella 24 km west, price levels here are materially lower for comparable floor area, at the cost of Marbella's premium branding and frontline settings. The documented market activity in the zone, approximately 3,800 property transactions, points to an active, liquid resale market, which is relevant for buyers weighing future exit options. Buyers prioritising beachfront proximity may find better-aligned options closer to the Fuengirola paseo; buyers prioritising terrace area, golf proximity and established infrastructure within a moderate budget will find this configuration comparatively scarce.
