This two-bedroom apartment is located in Riviera del Sol, a residential area in the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property forms part of the Oasis Golf urbanisation, an established complex with communal gardens and swimming pool, and is sold with a valid tourist rental licence (VUT). Built in 1991, the apartment offers 78 m² of living space with one bathroom, a private terrace and a south to south-west orientation. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies approximately 3.8 km away, while golf courses such as Campo Los Lagos are within about 1.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 21 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits in the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella, inland from the coastal road. The immediate setting is residential and relatively quiet, surrounded by golf courses and low-rise urbanisations. A car is necessary for most daily trips: the nearest supermarket is around 6 km away and Fuengirola train station roughly 3.7 km from the complex.
The apartment is configured for practical holiday or permanent use: two bedrooms, one bathroom, an open-plan living and kitchen area, fitted wardrobes and air conditioning for both hot and cold seasons. The private terrace faces south and south-west, overlooking the communal pool and gardens. The communal facilities include a swimming pool, tennis and paddle courts.
This is a completed resale property, originally built in 1991 (completion date indicative). The building and installations reflect that construction period, although the listing describes the apartment's condition as excellent and fully furnished. No new construction phases, delivery schedules or off-plan payment structures apply to this property.
The property has one bathroom only and no private parking space; parking is on the street or in communal areas. There is no private garden or private pool. The nearest EV charging point is approximately 18 km away by road. No lift, storage room or garage is listed among the features. Daily mobility requires a car.

This property fits a recognisable set of buyer situations. The first is the investor seeking an income-producing asset: the apartment already holds a tourist rental licence and operates as holiday accommodation, which removes a licensing step that in parts of Andalusia has become more restrictive. The second is the buyer of a second home who wants the option to rent it out during periods of non-use, using the established rental history to offset running costs. The third is the permanent resident or long-term occupant who values a quiet, golf-adjacent residential setting with communal facilities, accepts car-based daily living, and prefers the maturity of an established 1990s urbanisation over new construction. The property is less likely to suit buyers who want to walk to the beach, who require two bathrooms for family use, who depend on public transport for daily commuting, or who need a private garage or lift access. Households with children have schooling options in the wider area, 15 primary and 10 secondary schools are recorded, but daily school runs would be by car. Retirees seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave base near golf and within a short drive of Fuengirola's services, including two health centres in the area and a hospital around 18 km away, would find the configuration workable.
The apartment dates from 1991, and its finish level reflects a property that has been maintained and updated rather than newly built. Interior flooring is marble, a material typical of higher-standard Spanish construction of that period and one that suits the local climate by staying cool in summer. The kitchen is fully fitted, both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the property is sold fully furnished, which for a rental operation reduces the setup cost and vacancy period for a new owner. Climate control consists of independent air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, meaning the apartment is not dependent on a communal heating system; this is a practical point in a region where winter night temperatures can fall towards the lower end of the 14–26°C average annual range. An alarm system is installed. The terrace, approximately 5 m², faces south and south-west with views over the communal pool, gardens and mountains. As with any resale property of this age, buyers are advised to verify the condition of installations, plumbing, electrical wiring and window frames in particular, through an independent survey, as these elements in 1990s buildings may be original or partially replaced. Energy efficiency certification is not stated in the listing data and should be requested from the seller.
The asking price is €316,000 for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of 78 m², sold fully furnished and with a valid tourist rental licence already in operation. This positions the property in the resale segment rather than new-build pricing: comparable new developments in the region start from around €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial) and €269,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2). The licence and established rental operation are the main price-relevant differentiators for buyers assessing the property against units without a VUT. Price stated is a from-price basis listing figure; availability and final terms should be confirmed with the selling agent.
Daily life in this part of Riviera del Sol follows a residential, car-based rhythm. The apartment sits within the Oasis Golf urbanisation, where mornings typically begin on the south-facing terrace with sun from late morning onwards, given the south to south-west orientation. The communal pool and gardens function as the social centre of the complex during the warmer months, roughly May through October given the local swim season of about five months with sea temperatures above 20°C. The surrounding area is defined by golf courses: Campo Los Lagos at roughly 1.1 km and Cerrado del Águila Golf at 1.6 km, with paddle and tennis clubs within two kilometres. Groceries require a short drive, with the nearest supermarket around 6 km away, so most residents shop by car every few days rather than daily on foot. Restaurants are more accessible, with five within a two-kilometre radius. The beach at Playa del Castillo, about 3.8 km away, is a five-minute drive. Fuengirola, with its train station, marina and fuller retail offer, lies roughly 4 km to the east. Outside the summer season the neighbourhood quietens considerably, as much of the surrounding housing serves holiday and rental use; the combination of 10 hotels and over 2,000 tourist beds in the wider area indicates a clear seasonal pattern of occupation. For permanent residents this means a tranquil winter environment and a busier summer period.
The immediate environment is the Oasis Golf urbanisation: communal gardens, a shared swimming pool, and a residential community of holiday and permanent occupants. Five restaurants operate within two kilometres and two pharmacies within the same radius, with the closest pharmacy about 1.2 km away, covering basic daily needs without a longer trip. Larger errands, supermarkets, hardware, banking, sit around 6 km away, which shapes a weekly rather than daily shopping pattern. Healthcare is available through two health centres in the area, with the nearest hospital approximately 18 km away. Public transport exists, four lines and roughly 50 stops serve the wider zone, but frequency and coverage are geared towards the coastal corridor, so residents generally rely on a car. Fuengirola train station, about 3.7 km away, connects along the Cercanías line towards Benalmádena and Málaga, useful for occasional trips without the car. Sport facilities are notably close: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km, Raquetas de Mijas at 2 km and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km. The terrain is essentially flat, about 1.1% slope towards the coast at 45 m elevation, so walking and cycling within the neighbourhood are uncomplicated.
The map shows the property's position within Riviera del Sol: inland from the coast, surrounded by the golf cluster of Los Lagos and Cerrado del Águila, with Fuengirola to the east, La Cala de Mijas to the west and Marbella beyond. Distances to beaches, stations and the airport are shown as straight-line references.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central Mijas Costa zone between Fuengirola to the east and La Cala de Mijas to the west, with Marbella roughly 19 km along the coast. This places the property equidistant from two service hubs: Fuengirola for rail links, hospitals and retail, and Marbella for higher-end dining and amenities. Within Mijas, the area is more inland and quieter than the beachfront strip, with a golf-course character rather than a resort or town-centre one. Property transaction volume of roughly 3,800 in the locality indicates an active resale market.
Straight-line distances frame the location as follows: the nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, at 3.8 km, with Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral also around 3.8 km; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport at approximately 21 km straight-line (roughly 35 km by road); and Marbella about 19 km to the west. Gibraltar Airport is around 75 km away, a secondary option for UK and some international routes. Golf is the closest amenity category: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila Golf and Campo Los Olivos at about 1.6 km, plus a driving range and golf academy within the wider area. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km), provide mooring, dining and waterfront activity. Train access runs through Fuengirola station at 3.7 km. These distances make the property well placed for airport access relative to much of the Costa del Sol, while keeping beach visits dependent on a short drive.

The local climate data supports year-round residential use. Historical sunshine averages around 3,889 hours per year, among the higher figures for mainland Spain, and the mean annual temperature is 18.6°C within a typical 14–26°C range. The swimming season in local waters lasts approximately five months at sea temperatures of 20°C or above, generally from late May into October. Elevation is a modest 45 metres above sea level with a slope of roughly 1.1% towards the coast, meaning no significant hill climbing between the property and the beaches, a practical difference from hillside locations elsewhere in Mijas and Benalmádena. The inland-but-low position tempers summer heat slightly compared with the immediate seafront while avoiding the temperature swings of higher altitude villages. Mountain views from the terrace reflect the setting between the coastal plain and the Mijas sierra, which also provides walking and cycling terrain within a short drive.

The closest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, lie approximately 3.8 km away along the Mijas Costa stretch, a mix of sandy coves and chiringuito-backed stretches typical of this coastline. Further east, Fuengirola's long urban beaches and its marina at Puerto Deportivo (4.3 km) extend the options; westwards, the quieter dune-backed beach at Artola and the marina at Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km) sit within a ten-minute drive. Golf is the dominant recreation category around the property itself: Campo Los Lagos (1.1 km), Cerrado del Águila Golf (1.6 km) and Campo Los Olivos (1.6 km) form a cluster reachable within minutes, with additional academies and driving ranges in the area. Racquet sports are similarly well served through padel and tennis clubs within two kilometres. Walking routes towards La Cala de Mijas, with its viewpoint at 3.9 km, and into the sierra provide non-golf outdoor options. Cultural life runs through Fuengirola and Marbella, both within a short drive, with the region recording 32 local public holidays and festivals per year.

Against comparable new-build offerings in the region, this apartment occupies a different market position. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from around €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from approximately €269,000, while Aquamar in Torre del Mar lists from €269,950. All three are new or recent developments, meaning modern energy performance, contemporary layouts and developer warranties, but no rental licence and typically a waiting period before delivery. At €316,000 for 78 m², this property trades at a higher per-square-metre figure than those entry prices, and the differential is largely explained by two factors: the valid tourist rental licence with an operating rental history, and the central Mijas Costa location between Fuengirola and Marbella, which is a stronger rental-demand zone than Torre del Mar on the eastern Axarquía coast. Geographically, the setting differs from each comparator: Torre del Mar is a Spanish-resident coastal town east of Málaga with a longer airport transfer; Estepona sits west of Marbella with newer infrastructure but greater distance from Málaga airport; Mijas Costa offers the shortest airport access of the three at roughly 21 km straight-line. Within Riviera del Sol itself, the local transaction volume of around 3,800 sales indicates a liquid resale market, which matters for exit flexibility. The trade-off for buyers is the 1991 construction date: older installations, one bathroom and no private parking, versus immediate availability, licence in place and furnished condition. Buyers prioritising energy certification, warranty cover and two bathrooms will lean towards the new-build comparators; buyers prioritising immediate rental income and location may weigh this property differently.
