This semi-detached residence in Riviera del Sol presents a completed configuration dating from approximately 2018. Situated on the frontline of a golf course within a gated community comprising six properties, the dwelling offers a living area of 175 m² on a 187 m² plot. The layout extends over two floors plus a solarium, featuring a private garden and swimming pool. The south and east orientation provides natural light throughout the day. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property is positioned within an urban environment that provides immediate access to local amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Riviera del Sol, part of the municipality of Mijas. It sits at an elevation of 135 metres above sea level, directly adjacent to a golf course. The urbanisation is characterised by a mix of residential developments and leisure facilities, situated between the larger towns of Fuengirola and Marbella.
The design addresses requirements for privacy and outdoor living through a private garden and pool area. The inclusion of a solarium and multiple terraces caters to a preference for external leisure space. The distribution over three levels separates sleeping areas from communal living spaces.
The construction was completed circa 2018, classifying this as a resale property rather than a new development. The building reflects modern architectural standards of that period, including contemporary open-plan layouts and energy installations typical of the late 2010s. No further construction phases are anticipated.
The project does not offer a detached standalone structure, being semi-detached with a shared wall. The limited plot size of 187 m² restricts significant expansion of the garden or construction of additional outbuildings. As a completed residence from 2018, customisation options are limited to interior modifications rather than structural changes.

This situation suits individuals seeking a permanent residence with a degree of community security but valuing private outdoor space. It fits households where the golf proximity is a primary interest, either for participation or for the unobstructed views it guarantees. The layout accommodates families or couples requiring guest space, evidenced by the three-bedroom configuration. The location is also relevant for those who do not require the immediacy of beachfront living but prefer a climate that is marginally cooler and breezier due to the elevation compared to the shoreline. It is less suited for those with mobility restrictions who might find the 6.4% gradient to the beach challenging, or for those seeking the vibrant, high-density nightlife of Marbella, which requires a short drive.
The property features specifications consistent with high-quality residential construction from 2018. Technical installations include air conditioning throughout the property and underfloor heating specifically in the bathrooms, enhancing comfort during the winter months. The windows are described as large, promoting natural light, and are fitted with electric blinds for operational convenience. The kitchen is equipped to modern standards, integrated into an open-plan living area. Externally, the finish includes landscaped tropical gardens and a private swimming pool. The solarium serves as a finished rooftop terrace, designed to capitalise on the panoramic views of the golf course.
The listing price is set at €950,000. This positions the property in the higher segment of the Riviera del Sol market, reflecting the frontline golf position and the private pool facility. Given that the community consists of only six units, availability is inherently limited and contingent on current owners deciding to sell.
Daily life in this location revolves around the contrast between the urban convenience of Riviera del Sol and the leisure focus of the golf course. The immediate vicinity is functional, with supermarkets and pharmacies within a few hundred metres, suggesting that daily errands can be managed on foot. However, the location is not coastal level; residing at 135 metres above sea level means that while the sea is visible, reaching the beach requires a descent. The slope to the coast is measured at 6.4%, which is steep, implying that trips to the beach are typically made by vehicle rather than a casual stroll. The gated community of six homes ensures that the immediate domestic environment is quiet and removed from through-traffic, despite being in a populated area. The lifestyle here is oriented towards outdoor living, with the private pool and garden serving as the primary daytime retreat during the warmer months.
The surrounding infrastructure supports a residential lifestyle without the necessity of long-distance travel for basics. Within a 2-kilometre radius, there are 24 restaurants, 4 pharmacies, and several banks, indicating a well-serviced urbanisation. For families, the area is serviced by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools within the broader region, though specific proximities may vary. Healthcare is accessible via two nearby health centres and the Hospital Costa del Sol, approximately 6.5 km away. The presence of 4 public transport lines with 50 stops suggests connectivity to the coastal railway line and major towns is established, reducing the absolute reliance on a car for commuting.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol. It lies approximately midway between Fuengirola, to the east, and Marbella, to the west. This allows residents to access the commercial and administrative services of Fuengirola or the luxury amenities of Marbella with equal relative ease. It acts as a residential hub that bridges the busier, more tourist-heavy zones.
The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda - Riviera, is situated 2.1 km away. While close in distance, the change in elevation affects travel time. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 26 km away by straight-line distance, making it accessible for international travel. Golf facilities are prominent, with El Soto Golf and Cabopino Golf located roughly 3 km from the property. The larger marina of Puerto Cabopino is 3.7 km away, offering dining and nautical services.

The immediate coastline consists of several Blue Flag standard beaches, including Playa de Calahonda. The steep terrain means these are accessed via road networks descending from the urbanisation. Recreational focus is also heavily influenced by golf, with the property frontline to a course and several others within a 3 to 4 km radius, including Par 3 Course and El Soto Golf. Sports centres such as Finca Naundrup are located nearby, providing options for indoor fitness and tennis.

Compared to other developments in the region, this property is priced significantly higher than entry-level options. For instance, Aquamar in Torre del Mar and Lantana Residencial in Mijas offer properties starting around €200,000 to €270,000. The difference in price point is largely attributable to the specific nature of this Riviera del Sol listing: it offers a frontline golf position, a private pool, and a semi-detached villa format rather than an apartment. While Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona offers modern townhouses starting at €259,000, this listing commands a premium due to the established privacy of the small gated community and the completion status (no construction risk). The pricing reflects a luxury segment within Mijas Costa, distinct from the higher-density or off-plan developments elsewhere on the coast.
