This ground-floor apartment forms part of the Riviera Park residential complex in Riviera del Sol, situated on the Costa del Sol between Fuengirola and Marbella. The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 100 m² of living space, completed in 2004 and delivered key-ready. The asking price is fixed at €329,999. The home includes a private garden with covered terrace, an underground parking space and a storage room. Residents share two communal swimming pools and maintained communal gardens within a gated complex. The nearest beach lies approximately 3.8 km away as the crow flies, with golf courses within about 2 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits in the Mijas Costa stretch of the Málaga province, roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga city. The apartment stands in the Riviera Park complex in a residential setting with shops nearby. Fuengirola train station is 3.7 km away in a straight line, and Malaga-Costa del Sol airport approximately 21 km, making regional access straightforward by car.
The layout serves couples and small households: two bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom, a fully fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes. The private garden and covered terrace extend the living space outdoors, with a west-facing orientation providing afternoon and evening sun. A lift, air conditioning and double glazing cover everyday comfort requirements.
This is not a new-build development. The apartment was completed in 2004 and is offered as an existing home in good condition, fully furnished and key-ready. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and occupation once the transaction completes. Any dates mentioned in the process are indicative.
The property does not offer a private swimming pool, sea views or a garage for multiple cars, parking is one underground space. It is a ground-floor unit with garden views rather than panoramic vistas. The beach lies nearly 4 km away as the crow flies, so it is not within walking distance for most residents. No information is available about energy performance or recent renovation works.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a year-round residence on the Costa del Sol will find the two-bathroom layout practical, with the en-suite providing privacy for guests or household members. Small families benefit from the private garden, which offers a safe outdoor play area, and from the 15 primary and 10 secondary schools recorded in the wider area, along with two health centres. Pet owners and anyone who values direct outdoor access without stairs will appreciate the ground-floor position and the private garden with direct access from the living space. The west-facing covered terrace suits those who enjoy afternoon and evening sun rather than early mornings. Golf players form an obvious match: three courses within roughly 2 km make spontaneous rounds realistic. Buyers wanting a holiday home that can also generate rental income will note the region's tourism infrastructure, 10 hotels and around 2,131 beds nearby indicate steady seasonal demand, and the fact that the apartment comes fully furnished and key-ready, lowering the barrier to immediate letting. It suits less well those who want to walk to the beach daily: at 3.8 km as the crow flies, the sea is a short drive rather than a stroll. Buyers seeking a modern new-build with the latest energy standards should also note the 2004 construction date. For budget-conscious buyers prioritising space, outdoor area and included parking over sea views, the proposition is coherent.
The apartment dates from 2004 and is described as being in good condition. The finishing level reflects that period: a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and double glazing throughout, the latter contributing to both acoustic comfort and thermal insulation. Air conditioning provides climate control for the warmer months, and the west-facing covered terrace offers shade during peak afternoon hours. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, a layout feature more common in later-generation apartments than in older stock, which adds everyday convenience. The property is sold fully furnished, which reduces initial setup costs for buyers who intend to occupy or let it immediately, though the style and condition of the furniture should be assessed during a viewing. The building has a lift, so the ground-floor position does not isolate residents from the rest of the complex, and accessibility is straightforward. The patio area includes a grill, seating and an umbrella, indicating that the outdoor space is equipped for regular use. The private garden extends the usable living area and is a defining feature for a ground-floor unit. Within the gated complex, the two communal pools and maintained gardens are shared facilities whose upkeep is typically funded through community fees; buyers should request the current community accounts and fee level. The underground parking space and storage room are included, which is a practical advantage over street parking. No data is available on the building's energy performance or on any recent renovation of installations such as plumbing or electrics, a point for technical due diligence, standard for a property of this age.
The apartment carries a fixed asking price of €329,999. As an existing home rather than a new-build project, there is no price list or unit variation: the price applies to this specific property with its private garden, underground parking space and storage room included. Compared with new-build alternatives in the region, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, this home sits in the mid-range, reflecting its established condition, furnishings and included parking. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready. Purchase costs, taxes and community fees apply in addition to the asking price.
Riviera Park is a gated residential complex in Riviera del Sol, a coastal district between Fuengirola and Marbella. Daily life here follows the rhythm of a mature residential neighbourhood rather than a resort. The apartment opens onto its own garden with a covered terrace, which functions as an outdoor living room for much of the year given the west-facing orientation and the region's mild climate. Evenings tend to be spent outdoors: the terrace catches the afternoon and setting sun, and the patio area shown in the listing includes a grill and seating under an umbrella. Inside, the 100 m² floor plan distributes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the master bedroom enjoying an en-suite. The fully fitted kitchen and fitted wardrobes mean the home can be occupied immediately; it is sold fully furnished. The complex itself provides two large communal swimming pools and maintained gardens, which serve as the communal heart of the community, particularly during the warmer months when the swimming season runs about five months with sea temperatures above 20°C. The immediate area is tranquil but not isolated. Shops, restaurants and pharmacies lie within a short drive, with five restaurants and two pharmacies recorded within 2 km. For sport, Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila is 1.5 km away and Raquetas de Mijas 2.0 km. Three golf courses, Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 km and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km, sit within a two-kilometre radius, which shapes the character of the district. A car is the practical mode of transport for most daily errands, although four public transport lines with 50 stops serve the wider area.
Riviera del Sol forms part of the Mijas Costa coastline, a stretch of residential districts running between Fuengirola and Marbella. The area combines permanent residents with seasonal visitors; the presence of 10 hotels and roughly 2,131 beds nearby indicates a tourism economy that peaks in summer, while the residential core remains active year-round. Around 3,800 housing transactions per year are recorded in the area, pointing to a liquid local property market. Daily errands are manageable: shops are close to the complex, and within 2 km there are five restaurants and two pharmacies. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area, and education by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, enough depth for families considering permanent residence. Sports facilities cluster nearby: padel and racket clubs at 1.5 to 2.4 km, and three golf courses within about 2 km. The Fuengirola Supercharger for electric vehicles lies 7.7 km away, useful for EV owners. Public transport consists of four lines with 50 stops, which supports local movement, though a car remains the practical choice for beach trips and shopping. The terrain is flat, the gradient to the beach is roughly 1.1%, so cycling is a realistic alternative for shorter journeys.
The map shows the apartment's position in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas Costa. Nearby markers include three golf courses within about 2 km, beaches at 3.8 km and Fuengirola's marina and station just beyond. The terrain is flat, and the Mediterranean coastline runs a few minutes' drive to the south.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol: 16 km from Marbella, 35 km from Málaga city and about 21 km straight-line from Malaga-Costa del Sol airport. Fuengirola, the nearest larger town with a train station, is roughly 4 km up the coast. This places the property within the Mijas Costa belt, a residential corridor that generally offers lower price levels than central Marbella while retaining access to the same coastline, golf courses and transport links. Algeciras, 78 km away, and Gibraltar beyond it mark the south-western edge of the region.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.8 km away, with Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral at the same distance, a few minutes by car. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, is 4.3 km away, and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 km. Larger towns: Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, is 16 km away, and Málaga city, around 579,000 inhabitants, 35 km. Both are reachable by the coastal A-7 motorway or the toll road. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 21 km as the crow flies, meaning short transfer times for international arrivals; Gibraltar airport is about 75 km away. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station, 3.7 km straight-line, with Carvajal at 7.2 km on the same Cercanías line towards Málaga. Locally, four bus lines with 50 stops serve the district. By car, the flat terrain and the coastal road network make movement straightforward, and the included underground parking space simplifies arrival at the complex itself.

The climate is a central feature of this location. The average annual temperature is 18.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or above, roughly May to October in practice. The apartment stands at 45 m above sea level on essentially flat terrain; the gradient towards the beach is only 1.1%, so there are no steep walks or climbs in the immediate surroundings. The west-facing orientation of the terrace aligns with the Mediterranean pattern of warm, bright afternoons, giving the outdoor space its strongest hours late in the day. For nature and walks, the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the start of a pleasant coastal stretch, while the beach at El Chaparral sits at the same distance. The combination of low elevation, mild winters and limited rainfall means outdoor use of the garden and terrace is realistic for most of the year, not only in summer. This materially extends the living space the property effectively offers.

Three beaches lie at approximately 3.8 km: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral. All are a short drive from the complex; the flat terrain makes cycling an option as well. El Chaparral in particular is known as a quieter stretch of the Mijas Costa shoreline. Golf is the strongest recreational asset within immediate reach. Campo Los Lagos lies 1.1 km away, with Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both at 1.6 km, three courses within a two-kilometre radius, an unusual density that defines much of the district's identity. Racket sports are well represented: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km, Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km and the municipal sports centre Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km. For boating and waterfront leisure, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is 4.3 km away and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 km, both offering berths, chiringuitos and seasonal activities. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Fuengirola Supercharger 7.7 km away. Collectively, the recreational offer covers golf, padel, beach and marina days without long travel times.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a specific niche: an established, furnished resale home with private outdoor space at a mid-range price. The nearest new-build comparables illustrate the trade-offs. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, both lower entry points, but both are new-build projects with construction timelines, from-pricing that typically reflects smaller base units, and no included furnishings or private garden of this kind. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000, effectively the same level as this asking price, yet Estepona lies considerably further from Málaga airport and the Fuengirola-Marbella corridor. Riviera del Sol's position between Fuengirola (4 km) and Marbella (16 km) gives it a practical advantage over both eastern (Torre del Mar) and western (Estepona) alternatives in terms of airport access, roughly 21 km straight-line to Malaga-Costa del Sol. The district's density of golf courses, with three within 2 km, is a distinguishing feature compared with most competing locations at this price level. What a buyer gives up relative to new-build is primarily specification: a 2004 property will not match the energy standards, materials and layouts of 2024-2025 developments, and the buyer should weigh community fees, installation condition and refurbishment potential. What they gain is immediacy (key-ready, no phased delivery), an included parking space and storage room, a genuinely private garden rather than a balcony, and a mature setting with established gardens and two communal pools. The local market shows around 3,800 transactions per year, indicating steady liquidity should the owner later resell or relet.
