This two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment is located in Riviera del Sol, in the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2002 and completed, the property offers 96 m² of living space with a private garden, terrace and patio. The asking price is fixed at €295,000 and includes an underground parking space and a private storage room. The home faces south, giving the outdoor areas direct sunlight throughout the day. Residents have access to a communal pool and a children's pool within the urbanisation, and the surrounding area offers golf courses, shops and schools within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a residential coastal district between Fuengirola and Marbella, within the municipality of Mijas. The apartment sits in an urbanisation at approximately 45 metres above sea level, on flat terrain roughly 3.8 kilometres from the nearest beaches as the crow flies. The coastal motorway is easily accessible, and Fuengirola's train station lies about 3.7 kilometres away in a straight line.
The layout serves practical year-round living: a living-dining room with direct terrace and garden access, a separate equipped kitchen with utility area, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two full bathrooms. The ground-floor position and the presence of a lift make the home suitable for residents who prefer to avoid stairs. A private garden and covered terrace extend the usable living space outdoors.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2002 and is described as being in good condition, key-ready for immediate occupation. The building has a lift and the urbanisation includes communal pools. Inclusions cover the fitted wardrobes, washing machine, tumble dryer and an outdoor table; the property is sold unfurnished.
The property does not offer sea views; the outlook is over the garden and urbanisation grounds. There is no private pool, only communal swimming facilities. The home measures 96 m² with two bedrooms, which limits space for larger households. The nearest beach is approximately 3.8 kilometres away by straight-line distance, so the sea is not within walking distance. The building dates from 2002, so construction and fittings reflect that period.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A retired couple moving to the Costa del Sol permanently will find the ground-floor position, lift, two bathrooms and flat surroundings practical, with health centres and pharmacies in the area. A family with one or two children can use the second bathroom and the children's pool, and the local school offering is extensive. Buyers seeking a lock-and-leave holiday home benefit from the communal maintenance structure, the secure underground parking and the fact that the property is sold unfurnished, leaving furnishing to the owner's taste. Investors may note the location between Fuengirola and Marbella, the year-round rental demand typical of established residential zones, and the roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year recorded in the area, indicating an active local market. The home is less suitable for buyers who want to walk to the beach every morning, who need three or more bedrooms, or who prioritise sea views from the living room. It is equally less relevant for those seeking a brand-new building with modern energy performance standards. For anyone whose priority is a finished, immediately usable home with genuine private outdoor space at a mid-range price point, the configuration matches well.
The apartment dates from 2002 and is presented in good, move-in condition. The kitchen is fully equipped with a ceramic hob, oven and extractor hood, and includes a separate utility area where the washing machine and tumble dryer are installed, both appliances are included in the sale, as is the outdoor table. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, which reduces the immediate furnishing outlay. The two bathrooms are complete; listing photographs show a bright bathroom with blue tiling. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, supplemented by a fireplace, giving three separate options for heating and cooling across the seasons, a practical combination for year-round occupation in a region where winter evenings can be cool despite mild average temperatures of 18.6°C annually. The building itself has a lift, relevant given the ground-floor position and future accessibility considerations. The finishes and fittings generally reflect the construction period, so buyers comparing against new-build projects should expect solid but not contemporary-standard specification. The sale includes an underground parking space and a private storage room in the basement, a combination that adds daily convenience and covers seasonal storage needs such as beach equipment, bicycles or holiday luggage. The property is transferred unfurnished apart from the stated inclusions.
The asking price is fixed at €295,000 for this existing home. That figure includes the underground parking space and the private storage room, two additions that often carry separate costs in comparable listings. At 96 m² of living space plus private garden, terrace and patio, the price reflects the outdoor area and the two-bathroom layout as much as the interior surface. For context, comparable new-build projects in the region currently start from roughly €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, though those are base prices for off-plan developments rather than completed homes with parking included. The property is key-ready, so no waiting period or construction risk applies.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the ground-floor connection between indoors and outdoors. The south-facing living-dining room opens directly onto the terrace and private garden, which means the outdoor space functions as an extension of the interior for most of the year. Mornings can begin on the covered terrace, sheltered from direct sun, while the open garden area receives daylight through the middle of the day. The patio, shown with a lawn and a hot tub in the listing photographs, offers a more sheltered second outdoor corner. Inside, the separate kitchen with its own utility area keeps washing and drying tasks out of view, and two bathrooms remove the morning bottleneck for a household of three or four. The urbanisation provides a communal pool and a separate children's pool, which covers the recreational swimming need without private maintenance. Riviera del Sol itself is a settled residential area rather than a seasonal resort: shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars are close by, and the data lists two pharmacies within two kilometres, two health centres, and a broad school offering of fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools in the wider area. The beach is a short drive of under eight minutes, so the sea is part of the weekly routine rather than the daily one. Outside the summer months the area remains functional, with a permanent resident population and year-round services, which distinguishes it from purely tourist-driven zones along the coast.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical density. Within two kilometres, the data lists five restaurants and two pharmacies, while the wider area contains ten hotels with just over 2,100 beds, enough tourism infrastructure to support services without dominating daily life. Sports facilities are notably close: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 kilometres, Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 kilometres and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 kilometres, all straight-line distances. Golf is a defining feature of the setting, with Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 kilometres, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 kilometres and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 kilometres, three courses within a two-kilometre radius. Transport is well developed for a suburban coastal zone: four public transport lines serve fifty stops in the area, and Fuengirola's train station lies about 3.7 kilometres away in a straight line, connecting towards the regional rail network. The terrain is flat, with a gradient of only 1.1% towards the coast, and elevation is a modest 45 metres above sea level, so walking and cycling around the neighbourhood involve no significant climbs. The nearest electric-vehicle charging point is the Fuengirola Supercharger at 7.7 kilometres straight-line.
The map shows the apartment's position in Riviera del Sol, with the three nearby golf courses clustered to the north-east and the beaches of Mijas Costa roughly four kilometres to the south. Fuengirola and its marina lie to the north-east; Marbella sits down the coast to the south-west. All distances shown are straight-line; road distances will be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central stretch of Mijas Costa, positioned between Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella to the south-west. This places it in the middle band of the Costa del Sol: close enough to Marbella's upscale offering (16 km straight-line) for evening and weekend use, yet connected to Fuengirola's full urban services and rail link within a few kilometres. Málaga city and its airport lie 35 and roughly 21 kilometres away respectively, keeping regional and international connections short. The result is a location that functions as a residential base with both resort towns within easy reach.
The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie approximately 3.8 kilometres away as the crow flies, translating to the under-eight-minute drive mentioned in the listing. Two marinas broaden the coastal options: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 kilometres and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 kilometres straight-line. Regional connections are strong. Málaga, with its 579,000 inhabitants, lies 35 kilometres away in a straight line, and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 21 kilometres distant, a manageable transfer for regular international travel. Marbella, with 148,000 inhabitants, is 16 kilometres away, and Gibraltar's airport is about 75 kilometres distant as an alternative. Access by car runs via the main coastal motorway, which the listing confirms is easy to reach from the urbanisation. Public transport covers local movement with four lines and fifty stops, and the Fuengirola rail connection at 3.7 kilometres provides a car-free route into the town centre and beyond. In practice, a car remains the most flexible option here, but it is not strictly required for daily errands.

The climate data points to a genuinely usable Mediterranean outdoor year. Average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.6°C, figures that make the terrace, garden and patio habitable for most of the calendar. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, comfortably matching the communal pool season. Elevation is 45 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of just 1.1%, meaning the terrain is essentially flat and the walk or cycle towards the coast involves no climbing. Beyond the built-up zone, the area borders forest, as noted in the listing features, giving nearby walking and hiking options on the inland side while the sea lies under four kilometres to the south. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 kilometres away, offers a destination for evening drives or weekend walks with coastal vistas. In practical terms, residents can expect warm dry summers, mild winters, and an outdoor rhythm that runs from roughly April through October.

Three beaches sit within close range, each approximately 3.8 kilometres away in a straight line: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral. This stretch of Mijas Costa offers sandy family beaches with the usual chiringuito and water-sport offerings of the central Costa del Sol. For boating and waterfront dining, two marinas are accessible, Fuengirola's Puerto Deportivo at 4.3 kilometres and the smaller, sheltered Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 kilometres straight-line. Golfers have an unusually dense selection: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 kilometres, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 kilometres and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 kilometres, meaning three courses, and the Mijas Golf club's well-known Lagos and Olivos layouts in particular, sit essentially on the doorstep. Racket sports are equally well served, with padel at Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) and Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km), plus the broader Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas complex at 2.4 kilometres. Within the urbanisation itself, the communal pool and children's pool cover everyday swimming without leaving the grounds.

Measured against current new-build offerings on the coast, this apartment occupies a distinct position. Lantana Residencial in Mijas advertises from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but these are base prices for off-plan or new developments, typically without parking and storage included and without any private garden. At a fixed €295,000 including an underground parking space, a storage room, and a genuine private outdoor area of terrace, garden and patio, this property competes on completeness rather than on price per square metre. Its 96 m² of living space and two-bathroom layout match configurations that often start well above €300,000 in new-build projects between Fuengirola and Marbella. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits in the central Costa del Sol band, 16 kilometres from Marbella and 35 kilometres from Málaga, with three golf courses within 1.6 kilometres. Torre del Mar, by comparison, lies east of Málaga city and further from the Marbella zone; Estepona is further west and generally more expensive per square metre. The trade-off against new build is clear: the buyer accepts 2002 construction and period-standard finishes in exchange for immediate availability, included extras, established communal grounds and a mature residential setting with year-round services. In an area recording roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, resale stock of this type in the Mijas Costa corridor remains a benchmark segment for both permanent residents and holiday-home buyers.
