This fully renovated two-bedroom apartment is located in Riviera del Sol, a residential area between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 84 m² of living space, two bathrooms and a 15 m² south-facing terrace with partial sea views. It forms part of a gated community with communal gardens, two swimming pools and a paddle tennis court. A private parking space and storage room in the underground garage are included in the asking price of €440,000. The building dates from 2004 and the apartment has been recently refurbished throughout, with air conditioning, double glazing, electric shutters and a fully fitted kitchen. A bus stop is situated directly outside the complex.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a coastal urbanisation in the municipality of Mijas, positioned between Fuengirola and Marbella. The apartment lies about 3.8 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies, roughly a 3-minute drive. Golf courses sit within 1.1 to 1.6 km straight-line distance. Marbella is 16 km away and Málaga 35 km, making both reachable by car along the A-7 coastal road.
The apartment is arranged for practical year-round living: two bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom, and direct terrace access. The open-plan living area connects to a fully equipped kitchen. Hot and cold air conditioning, LED lighting and double glazing are installed. Communal facilities include gardens, two pools and a paddle court.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment is an existing, key-ready home in a building completed in 2004 and has been recently renovated. No construction phase or delivery waiting period applies; the property can be transferred in its current refurbished condition. The asking price is fixed at €440,000 and includes a parking space and storage room.
The property offers 84 m² of living space and two bedrooms, which sets limits on household size and space for guests. Parking is limited to the single included space in the underground garage. The pool, gardens and paddle court are communal. The terrace measures 15 m². No private garden or private pool forms part of the property. The building dates from 2004, so construction standards reflect that period rather than current new-build regulations.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal home with two bathrooms and modern technical systems will find the layout and renovation status remove the usual refurbishment work. Buyers wanting a second residence that can be locked up for months at a time benefit from the gated community, underground parking and communal maintenance of gardens and pools. Purchasers who prioritise outdoor living will value the south-facing orientation, terrace awning and partial sea views, though the 15 m² terrace is modest relative to larger penthouse formats. The property also suits those who want proximity to golf without living on a resort: three courses lie within 1.6 km straight-line distance. Households needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a private garden should look elsewhere, as those elements are absent. Buyers sensitive to new-build energy standards should note the 2004 construction date, despite the recent renovation. The location works best for owners comfortable with a car-based routine for larger shopping and services, supplemented by the bus stop at the complex entrance for local trips. Finally, the fixed asking price of €440,000 positions the property between off-plan starter prices and premium Marbella stock, which suits buyers who prefer a completed, refurbished home over a construction-phase commitment.
The apartment has undergone a complete recent renovation. The kitchen is a contemporary design with black cabinetry and a brick-style backsplash, fully fitted and equipped with appliances, integrated into the open-plan living and dining area. Flooring and wall finishes have been renewed throughout the 84 m² interior. Technical installations include central air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, LED lighting, electric shutters in the bedrooms and an electric awning on the terrace. Windows are double glazed. The two bathrooms have been modernised, with the master bedroom's en-suite providing separation from the main bathroom. Both bedrooms contain fitted wardrobes. The 15 m² south-facing terrace extends the living space outward, with seating space and room for outdoor dining. The building itself, completed in 2004, includes a lift to all floors and an underground garage with covered parking, where the private space and storage room are located. Communal areas consist of landscaped gardens, two swimming pools and a paddle tennis court, maintained by the community. As with any 2004 building, buyers should verify the specifics of insulation and building services through a technical survey, since the renovation addresses interior finishes and climate systems rather than the structural envelope. The overall condition is documented as recently refurbished, and the property is sold semi-furnished and ready for immediate occupation.
The asking price is fixed at €440,000. This is an existing, key-ready property rather than a new-build development with a price list, so no range of unit prices applies. The price includes a private parking space in the underground garage and a separate storage room, and the apartment is sold semi-furnished. Within the wider Costa del Sol market, comparable new-build projects start lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those involve off-plan purchases without a completed renovation, terrace views and included parking at handover. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position.
Riviera del Sol functions as a settled residential zone with a mix of permanent residents and holiday homeowners. Daily life here revolves around the coastal routine: mornings on the south-facing terrace, which catches the sun for most of the day, afternoons at one of the nearby beaches roughly a 3-minute drive away, and evenings within the gated community, where the gardens and two pools serve as the social extension of the apartment. The urbanisation sits on flat terrain at about 45 metres above sea level, so walking and cycling are straightforward, with a gradient of just 1.1 per cent toward the coast. Practically, the location combines quiet residential streets with workable amenities: five restaurants and two pharmacies within 2 km, a bus stop outside the complex, and four public transport lines with around 50 stops in the area covering connections toward Fuengirola and Marbella. The train station in Fuengirola lies 3.7 km away in a straight line and links the coast to Málaga. For food shopping, gyms and larger services, a car remains the most practical option, though the bus stop at the entrance reduces dependence on one for some trips. Outside the summer months the area becomes noticeably calmer, while the golf courses at 1.1 to 1.6 km distance, including Campo Los Lagos and Cerrado del Águila, remain active year round. The apartment's layout suits couples, small families or owners seeking a low-maintenance second residence with the technical updates already carried out.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical accessibility. Within 2 km there are five restaurants and two pharmacies, covering day-to-day needs, while larger supermarkets, gyms and retail are a short drive away in either Fuengirola or the La Cala area. Two health centres serve the locality, and the educational infrastructure is substantial for a coastal zone: 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools within reach, which matters for families considering year-round residence. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, 10 hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, indicating a seasonal but not resort-dominated environment. Sports facilities cluster nearby: 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 straight-line. The Fuengirola Supercharger at 7.7 km serves electric vehicle owners. Road access runs along the A-7 and AP-7 corridors toward Marbella (16 km) and Málaga (35 km), both achievable in well under an hour by car. Housing turnover in the area is active at around 3,800 transactions per year, reflecting a liquid resale market should owners later wish to sell.
The map shows Riviera del Sol on the Mijas coast, with the beaches at 3.8 km to the south, three golf courses within 1.6 km and Fuengirola station 3.7 km east. Marbella and Málaga sit to the west and east along the A-7 corridor, and Málaga airport lies roughly 21 km away.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central band of the Mijas Costa shoreline, roughly midway between Fuengirola (train station at 3.7 km) and Marbella (16 km). This position places it inside the commute and leisure orbit of both towns while retaining its own residential identity. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 35 km to the east, and its airport at 21 km makes the property one of the more accessible coastal options for international arrivals. To the west, the coast continues toward Estepona and Algeciras (78 km). Within Mijas municipality, the property sits closer to the beaches and golf cluster of the coastal strip than to the white village inland.
Distances below are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, lie 3.8 km away, roughly a 3-minute drive from the complex. Marbella is 16 km distant and Málaga 35 km; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 21 km away, an efficient transfer for international travel, while Gibraltar Airport sits 75 km to the south. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station at 3.7 km, with Carvajal at 7.2 km as an alternative; the Cercanías line connects to Málaga city and the airport via a change at Plaza Mayor or Málaga Centro. Locally, four bus lines with around 50 stops serve the area, including a stop directly outside the residential complex. By car, the coastal A-7 and toll AP-7 provide the main arteries. Marinas at Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Cabopino (9.1 km) cover boating and waterfront dining. A private vehicle remains the most flexible option for shopping, airport runs and exploring inland villages.

The climate data for this stretch of coast shows an average annual temperature of 18.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above. Riviera del Sol sits at 45 metres elevation on flat terrain, with a 1.1 per cent gradient toward the sea, no steep hills between the apartment and the coast, which distinguishes it from more mountainous urbanisations further inland in Mijas. Sun exposure on the south-facing terrace follows the Mediterranean pattern of long daylight hours, particularly from April through September. The nearby viewpoints at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offer elevated coastal panoramas for walks. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half of the year, leaving the summer months dry and stable. The setting supports year-round outdoor use of the terrace, pools and golf courses, with the mountain backdrop visible from the property providing the classic contrast between the Sierra de Mijas and the shoreline.

Three beaches lie at 3.8 km straight-line distance: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all reachable in about three minutes by car. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of this specific location, Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila Golf at 1.6 km and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km, giving residents three courses within a short radius, unusual even by Costa del Sol standards. Racket sports are equally well served, with padel at Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) and Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km), plus the community's own paddle court on site. The Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km adds municipal sports facilities. For time on the water, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km) provide marinas with berths, chandleries and waterfront restaurants. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year and a hotel stock of 10 establishments, pointing to a recreation economy that stays active beyond the peak summer weeks.

Against comparable new-build projects on the Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies a distinct position. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, both lower entry points, but both involve off-plan purchases where buyers wait for construction and take delivery without renovation choices already made. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000. At a fixed €440,000, this property asks a premium that reflects three concrete elements: the completed renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, climate systems, glazing), the included underground parking space and storage room, and the location within Riviera del Sol, which sits closer to the Marbella, Fuengirola axis than Torre del Mar or much of Estepona. The immediate environment strengthens that position. Three golf courses within 1.6 km straight-line distance is a density few spots on the coast match, and the flat terrain with a 1.1 per cent gradient to the sea is a practical advantage over hillside urbanisations in Mijas and Benalmádena where daily walks involve steep climbs. Accessibility also compares well: Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport at roughly 21 km, the Fuengirola rail connection at 3.7 km and a bus stop at the complex entrance. Trade-offs exist. New-build buyers receive current energy regulations and structural warranties that a 2004 building cannot offer, and communal pools in an established community differ from purpose-designed new resort facilities. The local market context, around 3,800 transactions per year and a moderate hotel stock, points to an established resale market rather than a speculative frontier, which historically supports liquidity on resale. For buyers weighing this apartment against off-plan alternatives, the comparison comes down to certainty and immediacy on one side versus newer construction standards and pricing on the other.
