This completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 97 m² is situated in Miraflores on the eastern side of Málaga, a consolidated urban district roughly 900 metres from Playa de El Dedo. Built in 2001, the property forms part of an established residential area with shops, pharmacies and sports facilities within walking distance. Málaga Airport lies approximately 14 km away, and the city centre is reachable by public transport via 29 bus lines serving 50 stops in the area. The apartment includes a terrace, fitted kitchen, air conditioning and double glazing, with a communal pool in the urbanisation.
Against its regional comparison set, this property occupies a distinct market position. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) are all new-build developments in secondary coastal towns, where lower entry prices reflect distance from Málaga city and, in some cases, longer delivery timelines. This apartment, at €340,000, sits above those entry points while offering something they structurally cannot: a Málaga city address with rail access to the centre, a hospital within two kilometres and year-round neighbourhood services. The €/m² figure of roughly €3,500 is high for the eastern Málaga resale market but consistent with furnished, turn-key condition and included parking and storage. The trade-offs are equally structural: a 2001 building carries an older energy profile than 2025-2027 new-build stock, the absence of a lift excludes part of the accessibility-minded buyer pool, and the short-term rental prohibition removes the highest-yield letting model that investors apply in Estepona and Mijas Costa. For owner-occupiers, the comparison favours this property on urban functionality and beach walkability; for yield-focused investors, the new-build alternatives with rental permission present a different proposition. Buyers should also resolve the listing's reference to Mijas Costa against the structured data, which locates the property in Málaga municipality near El Palo, the two markets differ meaningfully in price dynamics and should be confirmed before any offer.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Miraflores sits within Málaga's eastern coastal band, between the city centre and the El Palo and El Candado beach quarters. The nearest beach, Playa de El Dedo, lies about 937 metres away on a moderate 5.4% gradient. A supermarket is 223 metres from the property and a pharmacy 640 metres, placing daily shopping within a short walk.
The dwelling covers 97 m² across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a separate living-dining area, independent kitchen and both covered and open terrace space oriented south. Fitted wardrobes, a storage room and fibre-optic connectivity are present. The configuration suits year-round occupation as well as seasonal use.
This is not a new-build development. The property was completed in 2001 and is offered in finished condition, fully furnished, with a fitted kitchen and air conditioning already installed. No construction phase or delivery waiting period applies; the transfer timeline depends solely on the purchase process.
The building has no lift, which affects access given the top-floor position. Community regulations do not permit short-term holiday rentals, restricting lettable use to long-term arrangements. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. Parking is limited to the included private space, and no garden is private to the unit.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating to Málaga for work or study who wants coastal proximity without a car dependency will find the walkable services, the 29 bus lines and the rail connection to the centre directly relevant. Retirees seeking a manageable, finished home with a communal pool, terrace and lift-free single-level living, accepting the top-floor stairs, fall within the practical user group. A couple wanting a furnished second home with reliable winter occupancy in the surrounding neighbourhood, given the year-round urban services, is another fitting profile. Conversely, the property does not suit certain situations. Investors intending short-term holiday letting cannot use it for that purpose under community rules, which excludes a common Costa del Sol rental model. Buyers requiring step-free access will find the absence of a lift at a top-floor level a structural constraint. Those seeking new-build energy ratings, underfloor heating or a private pool should note the 2001 construction date and communal facilities. The strongest alignment is with an owner-occupier who values the El Palo coastline, urban infrastructure and the Málaga city connection over resort-style amenities, and who plans either permanent residence or long-term rental use.
The apartment was completed in 2001 and is presented in good condition with a fully fitted kitchen, including oven and refrigeration, and a fully furnished interior per the listing and photographic record. Climate control consists of air conditioning units rather than a central system, and double glazing is fitted throughout, which supports both thermal comfort and noise reduction in an urban setting. Connectivity infrastructure is in place with fibre-optic broadband and WiFi, a practical consideration for remote workers. Storage is addressed through a dedicated storage room plus fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, compensating for the modest built area. The two bathrooms include a bathtub in at least one, consistent with the construction period rather than contemporary walk-in shower layouts. Buyers should apply the usual diligence for early-2000s buildings: confirming the age and service history of the air conditioning units, checking the electrical installation against current norms, and reviewing the community's building maintenance record and reserve fund. No energy performance certificate figure has been supplied; Spanish law requires one at sale, so the certificate should be requested during due diligence. The terrace area, shown with dining furniture and barbecue, is a private extension of the living space overlooking the communal gardens and pool, with partial sea views. Overall, the specification reflects a maintained resale property rather than a renovated unit; upgrading budgets for kitchen or bathrooms would be a matter of buyer preference rather than necessity.
The property is listed at €340,000, which equates to roughly €3,500 per square metre of built area. Within the regional comparison set, Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000; those are new-build figures from 2025-2027 deliveries, whereas this price reflects a completed, furnished resale unit in Málaga city. The single listed unit offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a terrace, private parking space and storage room. Additional purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) apply separately under Andalusian resale rules.
Daily life around this apartment follows an urban coastal rhythm. The supermarket at 223 metres and the pharmacy at 640 metres mean most errands are done on foot, and the 33 restaurants, 11 cafés and 9 banks within a two-kilometre radius cover a full range of services without needing a car. The nearest beach is under a kilometre away, with the broader El Palo and El Candado beach strips extending the coastline eastwards; these function as year-round neighbourhood amenities rather than seasonal tourist zones. Sports infrastructure is unusually dense here: Club Deportivo El Candado at 500 metres, the El Palo sports centre at 700 metres and the municipal Polideportivo José Paterna at 800 metres provide padel, swimming and gym options within a ten-minute walk. Puerto Deportivo del Candado, 1.2 km away, adds a marina with sailing and dining. Málaga city centre, roughly seven kilometres west, is accessible by suburban rail from Málaga Centro Alameda or by bus, making cultural amenities, hospitals and the university reachable without driving. The immediate residential fabric is built up rather than resort-based, so the area maintains occupancy and service levels through winter. For a buyer combining coastal access with functional city living, the location operates as a working Málaga neighbourhood that happens to sit beside the sea.
The immediate surroundings combine residential density with strong service coverage. Within two kilometres: 33 restaurants, 12 pharmacies, 11 cafés, 9 banks and 2 dentists, a provision level typical of established city districts rather than seasonal urbanisations. Healthcare access includes a hospital at 1.8 km. Three sports centres sit within 800 metres, and the marina at El Candado (1.2 km) extends recreational options on the water. Public transport is a defining feature of the location: 29 lines serve the area through 50 stops, and the suburban rail stations of Málaga Centro Alameda and Guadalmedina lie seven kilometres west, connecting the district to the city and to Fuengirola along the coast. An EV charging point is available 1.3 km away. The trade-off of this urban position is density: the neighbourhood is built-up, traffic on the eastern coastal artery can be busy in summer months, and street parking is limited, making the included private parking space functionally significant. Elevations are gentle, with a 5.4% average slope toward the beach described as moderate. For residents, the practical outcome is that most daily needs, food, health, sport, dining, resolve within a short walk or a brief bus ride, while the beaches function as an extension of the neighbourhood rather than a destination requiring planning.
The map shows the property's position between Málaga's eastern beaches and the city centre, with El Palo, El Candado and the marina to the east and the airport corridor to the west. Supermarket, pharmacy and sports facilities cluster within a one-kilometre walking radius, a Mediterranean coastal setting where daily life and beach access overlap.

Miraflores positions the property on Málaga's eastern seaboard, roughly seven kilometres from the historic centre and 14 km from the airport, closer to both than most Costa del Sol resort zones. Marbella lies considerably further west along the coast, and the listing's simultaneous reference to Mijas Costa reflects a name overlap between districts; the structured location data places the property firmly in Málaga municipality. This gives it a city-fringe identity: university, hospital, rail and cultural infrastructure within a short radius, with the eastern beaches as the immediate coastal amenity.
Distances run as follows: Playa de El Dedo 937 m; Playa de El Palo 1.2 km; Playa de El Candado 1.3 km; Málaga Airport (AGP) 14 km straight-line; Gibraltar Airport 110 km; golf at Club de Golf Málaga Parador 13 km, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez both at 16 km. The city centre and marina cluster (IGY Málaga Marina, Real Club Mediterráneo) sit around 6-7 km away. Practical read: the beach is walkable, the airport is a 20-25 minute drive depending on traffic, and golf requires a car journey of roughly 20 minutes. The location is beach-oriented rather than golf-oriented despite the frontline-golf setting mentioned in some listing copies, a discrepancy buyers should clarify with the agent, as the structured data places all golf courses at 13 km or more.

Climate data for the location records 3,875 sunshine hours per year, a high figure even by Andalusian standards, with average temperatures ranging from 9°C in the coldest months to 24°C in summer and an annual mean of 16.5°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans approximately four months, typically June through September; outside that window sea swimming is possible but cool. The property sits at 49 metres above sea level with a moderate 5.4% slope toward the coast, meaning the walk to the beach involves a gentle but noticeable incline on the return. Winters are mild enough that the terrace remains usable across much of the year, particularly given the south orientation. Nearby natural features include the viewpoints of Mirador Maribel Pozo Cruzado (2.1 km) and the eastern Montes de Málaga parkland further inland, which offer walking and cycling terrain behind the urban strip.

Three beaches sit within 1.3 km: Playa de El Dedo (937 m), Playa de El Palo (1.2 km) and Playa de El Candado (1.3 km). The El Palo stretch is a traditional Málaga fishing-quarter beach with chiringuitos and a local rather than resort character. Current Blue Flag status of individual beaches should be verified seasonally, as designations are reviewed annually. Recreational infrastructure beyond the sand includes Club Deportivo El Candado (0.5 km) with padel and gym facilities, Centro de Deportes El Palo Nuevo San Ignacio (0.7 km), Polideportivo Municipal José Paterna (0.8 km) and the marina at Puerto Deportivo del Candado (1.2 km) for berthing and water sports. Golf requires a drive: the three nearest courses, Málaga Parador, Guadalhorce and Miguel Ángel Jiménez, all lie 13-16 km west. The recreation profile is therefore beach- and watersport-dominant, with golf as a secondary, car-dependent option.
