This two-bedroom townhouse is located in Miraflores, on the inland edge of Mijas Costa, roughly four to five kilometres from the nearest beaches of Torreblanca and Los Boliches. Built in 1985 and now completed, the property offers 93 m² of living space with two bathrooms, a south orientation, air conditioning, marble flooring and a covered terrace overlooking the communal pool and garden. The asking price is €399,000, with furniture available as an option. The setting is an established urbanisation with shops, a supermarket and a pharmacy within a few hundred metres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urbanised residential zone at approximately 279 metres above sea level. Daily amenities are within walking distance: a supermarket at roughly 240 metres and a pharmacy at 265 metres. The nearest beaches lie 4.2–4.7 km away, downhill, while Fuengirola's train stations at Carvajal and Fuengirola are 4.3–5.5 km away. A car is practical, particularly for the coast, but not essential for all errands.
The house is configured for two occupants or a small household: two bedrooms, two bathrooms including one with a double sink and shower, a fully fitted kitchen with induction hob, and a covered terrace with lounge chairs. Communal pool access, garden and sea views, fitted wardrobes and hot-and-cold air conditioning support year-round use as a permanent or seasonal residence.
This is not a new-build development. The townhouse dates from 1985 (indicative) and is recorded as completed and in good condition. Buyers should expect construction standards of that period, updated where stated: modern kitchen, air conditioning and marble flooring. No developer payment plan or off-plan construction risk applies; the purchase concerns an existing, immediately available resale property.
The property offers two bedrooms and 93 m², which limits household size. There is no private pool; the pool is communal. Parking is not listed as a private garage. The 6.5% slope to the beach is steep, making the walk back uphill demanding. No garden, storage room or lift is recorded. Beach access is not the advertised one-minute walk; measured distance is over four kilometres.
This property suits a buyer whose priority is year-round practicality within a budget around €400,000, rather than direct beachfront position. Recognisable situations include: a retired or semi-retired couple relocating permanently who want walkable shops, a pharmacy and health centres nearby, with two bathrooms so guests can stay comfortably; a Northern European household seeking a low-maintenance second home with a communal pool, no private pool upkeep, and a lock-up-and-leave character, given the 93 m² footprint and optional furniture; and a buyer planning occasional rental use, where the two-bedroom layout, air conditioning and proximity to transport (8 bus lines, 50 stops, railway stations within 4–6 km) support occupancy. It also fits buyers who value a settled residential neighbourhood over resort-style surroundings: the urbanisation is established, with schools, sports facilities and year-round services nearby. It fits less well for households needing three or more bedrooms, private parking as a listed feature, or step-free access to the beach on foot, given the steep 6.5% gradient and four-kilometre distance. Buyers wanting a private pool or a contemporary new-build energy label should also look elsewhere. The profile is a compact, functional coastal-adjacent base at a mid-range price point for Mijas Costa.
The property's recorded condition is good, with several interior updates visible in the photographic material. The kitchen is fully fitted and finished in a modern white style with an induction hob, indicating a recent refurbishment rather than the original 1985 fit-out. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of the era's better Spanish residential construction and durable under daily use, though colder underfoot in winter months. Both bathrooms are functional; one features a double sink and a shower unit. The bedroom shown has air conditioning and a balcony with a sea view, and the climate control system provides both hot and cold A/C, covering heating and cooling across the year, relevant given average annual temperatures of 16.9°C with seasonal variation between roughly 14°C and 26°C. Fitted wardrobes are present, and the covered terrace and separate patio area extend the usable living space outward, furnished with lounge chairs and orientated south for maximum sun exposure, consistent with the area's 3,886 recorded annual sunshine hours. Construction from 1985 warrants a technical survey: buyers should verify electrical installations, plumbing, roof and party-wall condition, and window insulation, as these typically predate current energy-efficiency standards. No energy label is recorded for the property. communal areas, including the pool, are described as well maintained, though their upkeep is governed by the community of owners and reflected in community fees, which buyers should confirm during due diligence.
The asking price is €399,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse of 93 m² in good condition, equating to roughly €4,290 per square metre. Within Mijas Costa, comparable listings include Greenity from €378,000 and Green Valley from €460,000; further west, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600. This property is available immediately as a completed resale, with furniture negotiable as an option. The price reflects the established 1985 construction and the inland position relative to seafront alternatives in the same municipality. Availability is direct; no construction phases apply.
Daily life here is shaped by the contrast between the residential plateau and the coastline below. The townhouse sits in an established urbanisation near Miraflores, where the morning routine can unfold on foot: a supermarket at 239 metres and a pharmacy at 265 metres cover the essentials, and roughly thirty restaurants plus several cafés and banks within a two-kilometre radius widen the options. The south orientation and covered terrace mean the outdoor space is usable for most of the year, with a sea view from the bedroom balcony and a garden and pool view from the terrace. The communal pool functions as the social centre of the urbanisation during the warmer months. The rhythm changes with distance: everything practical is close, while the beach requires transport or a determined walk. The route down to Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal covers roughly 4.2 km with a 6.5% average gradient, which is manageable going down but a genuine climb returning. Most residents drive to the coast in ten minutes or use the train from Carvajal station. The area remains active year-round rather than emptying outside summer, given the mix of permanent residents and local services. Evenings tend towards the terrace or the nearby restaurants; the viewpoints at Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu, 600 metres away, offer elevated outlooks without leaving the neighbourhood. For a household seeking a settled, service-rich base with coastal access by car, the daily pattern is one of convenience inland and deliberate trips seaward.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with a service density unusual for an inland position. Within two kilometres there are approximately 32 restaurants, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and 3 cafés, plus 2 health centres; the nearest supermarket and pharmacy are under 270 metres away. Education is well represented, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools recorded in the area, alongside the IES Villa de Mijas secondary institute 1 km away. Sports facilities include the Polideportivo Juan Roa Sánchez at 1.8 km, the municipal swimming pool at 1.9 km and the Lew Hoad tennis and padel club at 2.4 km. Public transport covers 8 lines with 50 stops, and railway access to the Fuengirola, Málaga line is available at Carvajal, 4.3 km away. The area supports a year-round population rather than a purely seasonal one, as suggested by the roughly 3,800 recorded property transactions in the locality. The main practical consideration is the vertical relationship with the coast: the property sits at 279 metres elevation, and the descent to the beach averages a 6.5% gradient over four-plus kilometres. Within the neighbourhood itself, viewpoints such as Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu (0.6 km) provide outlook points, and the terrain is that of a settled hillside urbanisation.
The map shows the property's position on the hillside above Fuengirola's coastline, with the nearest beaches four to five kilometres downhill and the golf courses of Mijas immediately inland. Málaga and Marbella appear equidistant to the northeast and southwest respectively, framing the property at the centre of the western Costa del Sol corridor.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Mijas Costa functions as the main commercial and residential zone adjoining Fuengirola, positioned between two regional anchors: Málaga (24 km, population 579,076) and Marbella (24 km, population 147,958). This places the property equidistant from the provincial capital's cultural and employment offer and Marbella's leisure economy, with both reachable in around 25–30 minutes by car. Algeciras lies 89 km southwest. Within this corridor, the Miraflores area occupies the hillside belt: inland of the coastal hotels, close to the golf cluster, and integrated into Fuengirola's service network without sitting inside the town centre itself.
Distances by straight line: the nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies 4.2 km away, with Playa de Torreblanca at 4.5 km and Playa de los Boliches at 4.7 km. Málaga, Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 15 km by straight line (14 km by road reference), reachable in roughly 15–20 minutes outside peak traffic; Gibraltar Airport is about 80 km away. Golf is concentrated inland: Campo Los Lagos at 5.2 km, Campo Los Olivos at 5.3 km, Mijas Golf at 5.7 km and Lauro Golf at 6.8 km. The Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is 5.7 km away, and the hospital is 6.7 km from the property. An EV charger, including the Fuengirola Supercharger, is available at 3.7–3.8 km. Málaga city (24 km) and Marbella (24 km) sit at similar distances on either side.

The location records 3,886 sunshine hours per year historically, one of the higher figures along the Costa del Sol, supporting extended terrace use from the south-facing orientation. The average annual temperature is 16.9°C within a band of roughly 14–26°C, meaning winters are mild but not tropical, the hot/cold air conditioning listed is a functional necessity, not a luxury. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans about four months; the communal pool extends this window somewhat given solar heating of still water. At 279 metres above sea level, the property sits on a hillside plateau, which brings sea views and breezes but also the 6.5% average gradient toward the coast, a factor for cyclists, walkers and anyone with mobility considerations. Terrain within the urbanisation is residential rather than rugged.

The three nearest beaches, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal (4.2 km), Playa de Torreblanca (4.5 km) and Playa de los Boliches (4.7 km), form the contiguous Fuengirola coastline, a mix of sand and shingle with chiringuitos, promenade access and summer lifeguard services typical of the municipality. Beach trips require a car, a bus ride or the train from Carvajal. Golf is the strongest recreational card: four courses within a 7 km radius, led by Mijas Golf's Los Lagos and Los Olivos courses, both designed for regular play and reachable in under ten minutes by car. Racquet sports are served by the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel club at 2.4 km. The municipal sports centre (1.8 km) and municipal pool (1.9 km) cover indoor training, and the marina at Fuengirola (5.7 km) offers boat-based recreation and waterfront dining. Local tourism infrastructure includes 10 hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, indicating a moderate rather than saturated seasonal influx.

Within Mijas Costa, this €399,000 townhouse positions below the municipality's new-build entry points: Greenity starts at €378,000 and Green Valley at €460,000, both representing contemporary construction with modern energy standards that this 1985 property does not carry. The trade-off is immediacy and space-per-euro on an established community versus new-build specification. Compared with Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600), this property sits roughly €125,000 lower while holding a stronger transport position: Estepona lies beyond Marbella, whereas Miraflores is 14–15 km from Málaga airport and mid-way between Málaga and Marbella, both 24 km away. Regionally, the western Costa del Sol offers few two-bedroom, two-bathroom properties at this price within walking distance of full daily services, supermarket, pharmacy, banks and health centres, while also holding golf, railway and motorway access within a short drive. The 3,800 recorded local property transactions indicate an active, liquid resale market, relevant for future flexibility. The property's distinguishing characteristics against regional alternatives are its hillside position with sea views at 279 metres elevation, the density of established amenities on the doorstep, and the four-course golf cluster at 5–7 km. Its concessions relative to competitors are equally concrete: no private pool, no listed private parking, no recorded energy label, and beach access by vehicle rather than on foot. Buyers comparing coastal-front alternatives in Fuengirola town or La Cala should expect either higher prices for comparable internal space or older high-rise stock.
