This ground-floor apartment is located in Riviera del Sol, a residential area between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property was completed in 2003 (indicative) and offers 113 m² of built space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A 48 m² private terrace connects directly to the living area, and the west-facing orientation provides afternoon and evening sun. The urbanisation includes communal gardens, a swimming pool and a children's pool. An underground parking space and storage room are included. The area sits inland of the coastal road, roughly 3.8 km from the nearest beach, with golf courses within two kilometres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is an established residential urbanisation in the municipality of Mijas, positioned between Fuengirola and Marbella. The apartment lies inland in a quieter, semi-rural part of the area. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, is 3.8 km away, and Fuengirola train station is 3.7 km away. A car is necessary for most daily trips; the nearest supermarket is 6.1 km away, while a pharmacy is 1.2 km away.
The property functions as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a large covered terrace. The layout suits permanent residence, part-time living or rental use. Communal facilities include a pool and children's pool. Practical features such as a lift, underground parking, storage room, double glazing and pre-installed air conditioning cover core daily needs.
This is not a new-build development. The apartment was completed in 2003 (indicative) and is described as being in good condition. Interior elements include wood flooring, a stone wall feature and a fitted kitchen visible in the listing imagery. Buyers should expect a property of its construction era rather than current new-build specifications, and factor in possible modernisation over time.
The property does not offer sea views; views are limited to garden and pool areas. Air conditioning is pre-installed rather than fully fitted. There is no private pool, and the orientation is west, meaning no direct morning sun on the terrace. The location requires a car for supermarkets, the beach and the train station. No energy certificate details or plot data are included in the available information.
This property fits a buyer seeking a completed, move-in-ready apartment in an established residential area rather than a new-build purchase with construction timelines. The two-bathroom configuration with an ensuite suits couples, small families or owners who regularly host guests. The 48 m² west-facing terrace and ground-floor position appeal to buyers who prioritise outdoor living space and easy access to the communal pool and gardens without lift dependency, although a lift is present. It also suits buyers who accept car-based daily life: the beach at 3.8 km, supermarket at 6.1 km and train station at 3.7 km all require driving. Golf players benefit from Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km and Cerrado del Aguila at 1.6 km, making the location practical for regular play. The property may serve as a permanent residence, a second home with occasional rental use, or a long-term letting asset; the area records 3,800 property transactions and a tourist base of ten hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, indicating an active local market. It is less suited to buyers who want a walkable beachfront lifestyle, sea views or fully installed air conditioning without further investment. Households needing morning sun on the terrace should also note the west orientation. In short, the profile matches a buyer who values space, quiet surroundings and golf proximity over coastal immediacy.
The apartment dates from 2003 (indicative) and is listed in good condition. Interior materials include wood flooring in the main living areas and a natural stone feature wall in the living room, visible in the listing photography. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and the ensuite bathroom provides a second full bathroom beyond the main one. Windows are double glazed, which supports indoor temperature stability and reduces external noise. Climate control is pre-installed for air conditioning, meaning ducting or provision exists but the units themselves may require fitting by the buyer. The kitchen is visible from the entrance hallway in the imagery and appears functional rather than recently refitted. A storage room and a private underground parking space are included, which is a practical inclusion for this segment of the market. The building has a lift, relevant despite the ground-floor position for access to parking levels. Communal areas, gardens, adult pool and children's pool, are maintained by the community, and ongoing costs are shared through community fees, which are not specified in the available data. Satellite TV and WiFi provision are listed as features. As with any property of this age, buyers are advised to verify the electrical installation, boiler age and any community renovation plans through a technical survey before purchase. No energy performance certificate details were included in the available information.
The listed price is €345,000 for a completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 113 m², equating to roughly €3,050 per built square metre, inclusive of an underground parking space and storage room. As a resale property delivered in 2003, the price reflects the established urbanisation, the terrace size and the inclusion of parking and storage. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, but differ in type, phase and specification. Additional purchase costs in Andalusia are not included in the listed price.
Daily life at this property revolves around the ground-floor layout and the adjoining 48 m² terrace. The west orientation means the outdoor space receives sun from midday onwards, which suits afternoon meals and evening use, though mornings on the terrace remain shaded. The living and dining area opens directly onto this terrace, so the boundary between indoor and outdoor space is flexible for most of the year given the regional climate of roughly 3,889 sunshine hours annually. Inside, the 113 m² floor plan provides two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of them ensuite, with fitted wardrobes in the sleeping areas. Wood flooring runs through the main rooms, and the interior photography shows a living room with a feature stone wall and direct balcony access. The urbanisation's communal gardens and pool, including a children's pool, sit within view of the apartment, so supervision of young swimmers is straightforward from the terrace or garden. The immediate surroundings are described as quiet and semi-rural, set inland from the coastal strip. This means less traffic noise than beachfront locations, but also a dependence on the car: the nearest pharmacy is 1.2 km away, the nearest supermarket 6.1 km. Restaurants within a two-kilometre radius number around five, so dining options within walking distance are limited. Sports facilities are comparatively close, with padel clubs at 1.5 and 2.0 km and two golf courses, Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km and Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 km, within a short drive. For households that combine home-based time with regular drives to the coast, supermarkets and Fuengirola's wider amenity base, the location supports a settled, low-density rhythm of living rather than a walkable seaside routine.
Riviera del Sol occupies the inland side of the A-7 corridor in Mijas, giving the area a quieter character than the beachfront strips of Fuengirola or central Marbella. Within a two-kilometre radius, daily provisions are modest: two pharmacies and around five restaurants, with the nearest large supermarket 6.1 km away. Health coverage includes two health centres in the wider area, with the nearest hospital at approximately 18 km. Education options are comparatively broad for a residential zone, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools recorded in the surrounding data, which supports year-round family living rather than purely seasonal occupation. Sports infrastructure is a defining feature of the immediate area: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km, Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km, plus golf at Campo Los Lagos (1.1 km) and Cerrado del Aguila (1.6 km). Public transport exists, four lines and roughly 50 stops, but service frequency typically favours car ownership. Fuengirola train station at 3.7 km connects to the Cercanías line towards Málaga. Tourism pressure is moderate, with ten hotels in the area, so the urbanisation retains a residential feel outside peak summer weeks.
The map shows the property's position inland of the coastal corridor: golf courses immediately north and east, the beaches of La Cala and El Chaparral under four kilometres southwest, and Fuengirola's station, marina and urban centre a short drive northeast. Note that supermarket and hospital distances reflect road access rather than straight-line measurement.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol sits in Mijas Costa, midway along the corridor between Fuengirola (roughly 4–7 km northeast) and Marbella (roughly 20 km southwest). This positions the property closer to Fuengirola's full urban amenity base, hospital, train terminus, marina and shopping, than to Marbella's centre, while both remain reachable by car via the A-7 or AP-7. Within Mijas, the location is distinct from the hillside village of Mijas Pueblo and from the La Cala beachfront, offering instead a low-density residential band between golf courses and the coast road. The altitude of 45 metres keeps the property above the immediate coastal strip without introducing significant slopes.
Key distances from the property: nearest beach Playa del Castillo at 3.8 km, reached over flat terrain with an average slope of 1.1%. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 4.3 km away and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 21 km in a straight line, with driving distance to the terminal longer; the stated road-network distance is around 35 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 75 km straight-line. Golf facilities cluster nearby: Campo Los Lagos (1.1 km), Cerrado del Águila (1.6 km), Campo Los Olivos (1.6 km) and, further out, Golf Los Naranjos (19 km). Train access runs via Fuengirola (3.7 km), Carvajal (7.2 km) and Torremuelle (10.0 km). An EV charger is located 18 km away on the local network, with a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola at 7.7 km. A car remains the primary mode of transport for nearly all destinations.

The location sits at 45 metres above sea level on essentially flat terrain, a 1.1% average slope towards the coast, which makes walking and cycling in the immediate area undemanding. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.6°C with monthly averages ranging between 14°C and 26°C, and approximately 3,889 hours of sunshine per year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, typically May to October. The west-facing terrace captures afternoon and evening sun throughout the year, while the covered section provides shade during the hottest hours. The semi-rural inland setting places the property among low-density housing and golf-course greenery rather than dense coastal development. The nearest natural viewpoint of note is La Cala de Mijas at 3.9 km, and the coastal beaches begin at a similar distance.

The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie approximately 3.8 km from the property, a five-minute drive. These are the sandy stretches backing onto the La Cala, El Chaparral coastline, where chiringuitos and beach facilities operate through the season. Marinas are reachable at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) for sailing and waterfront dining, and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km), a smaller marina with a sheltered beach. Golf is the strongest recreational asset within immediate reach: Campo Los Lagos (1.1 km) and Campo Los Olivos (1.6 km) form part of the Mijas Golf complex, and Cerrado del Águila (1.6 km) is a shorter course also hosting the padel club of the same name. For racket sports, Raquetas de Mijas sits 2.0 km away and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas 2.4 km. The five-month swimming season aligns with communal pool use at the urbanisation itself.

At €345,000 for 113 m², this resale apartment is priced at roughly €3,050 per built square metre, above the starting prices of the comparable new-build projects listed. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000. Those figures, however, are entry prices for new construction, typically for smaller units at early sales phases, and do not include the parking space and storage room bundled with this property. Location quality also differs: Riviera del Sol sits in the central Mijas Costa band between Fuengirola and Marbella, within 1.6 km of two golf courses and 3.8 km of the beach, whereas Torre del Mar lies east of Málaga, further from the Marbella, Estepona demand corridor. Within its own micro-market, Riviera del Sol competes with neighbouring urbanisations such as Calahonda and La Cala Hills, all sharing the same car-based, low-density profile. The area's transaction volume of 3,800 sales and its mix of 15 primary and 10 secondary schools indicate a year-round residential base, which supports rental liquidity for both long-term and holiday letting. Against new-build alternatives, the trade-off is clear: this property offers immediate availability, larger internal and terrace space per euro and established community facilities, while new developments offer current building standards, energy certificates and developer payment terms. Buyers comparing the two should weigh modernisation costs, potentially including the air conditioning units and kitchen refit, against the price differential and the value of the included parking and storage.
