This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in a small residential complex of 36 owners in Riviera del Sol, on the central Costa del Sol between Fuengirola and Marbella. The 75 m² home was completed in 2006 and has since been renovated; it is offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €312,900. The property includes an 18 m² covered, fully glazed terrace with views over the communal pool and the adjacent golf course, plus a storage room and a garage space. A supermarket stands 146 m from the door and the beach is roughly 400 m away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol lies on the coastal strip of Mijas Costa, about 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga. The apartment sits in an urban setting with everyday amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at 146 m, a pharmacy at 155 m and the nearest beach at approximately 393 m in a straight line. The nearest railway station is Fuengirola, 3.7 km away.
The layout serves two occupants comfortably: two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom, a separate second bathroom, and a living-dining room that opens onto the glazed terrace. The kitchen is separate and fully fitted. Air conditioning, wood flooring, a security door with video intercom, a storage room and a garage space are included. The complex has 36 owners and does not permit holiday rentals.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2006 and the apartment has been renovated since, described by the seller as being in move-in ready condition. The purchase therefore concerns a resale property with immediate availability; no construction phases or indicative delivery dates apply. Buyer demand in the wider area is substantial, with around 3,800 housing transactions per year recorded locally.
The property offers 75 m² of living space with two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. It is an east-facing apartment, so direct sunlight is concentrated in the morning hours. The complex has a communal pool only; there is no private pool or private garden. The block dates from 2006. Beach and amenity distances are straight-line figures; actual travel distances on the road may be longer.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home on the Costa del Sol will find that the 75 m² layout, two bathrooms and glazed terrace cover the essentials without the maintenance burden of a villa. Buyers who prioritise walking access to daily amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, beach, will find the distances here among the shortest available on this coast. Purchasers who want a quieter community setting may value the fact that the complex has 36 owners and does not allow holiday rentals, which reduces short-term visitor traffic in shared spaces. Golf players are another obvious group: several courses lie within a few kilometres, and the terrace looks directly over a course. The property also suits buyers who want certainty: the building is completed, the renovation is done, and the price is fixed, removing the timing risk that comes with off-plan purchases. Conversely, the apartment is less suited to some situations. Households needing three or more bedrooms will find the space insufficient. Buyers wanting afternoon and evening sun on the terrace should note the east orientation. Those seeking a private pool or garden will not find one here; the pool is communal. Investors targeting holiday-let income should account for the community's no-rental policy, which limits that strategy, although it also protects long-term residential value. Finally, anyone expecting a frontline-beach address should note that the sea is a few minutes' walk away rather than at the doorstep.
The interior reflects a renovation carried out in recent years. Floors are wood throughout the living areas, a choice that reads warmer than the tiled floors common in older coastal stock. The kitchen sits in a separate room and comes fully fitted, with appliances and cabinetry in place. Both bathrooms carry finished fittings, one of them en suite to the master bedroom; the second serves the rest of the household and guests. Both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, which preserves usable floor space in a 75 m² home. The most distinctive technical element is the 18 m² terrace: fully glazed and covered, it functions as an intermediate zone between the living room and the outside, usable across seasons and oriented east for morning sun. Climate control is provided by air conditioning. Entry is via a security door with a video intercom. Storage is twofold, a dedicated storage room plus a garage space, both included. In terms of condition, the seller describes the apartment as move-in ready, and the listed condition is recorded as excellent; as with any resale purchase, an independent technical survey remains standard practice to verify installations, plumbing and community building health before completion. The building itself dates from 2006, which places it in a generation of construction with modern insulation norms relative to older coastal blocks. Community facilities consist of the swimming pool seen from the terrace. There is no gym, spa or concierge in the data provided.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €312,900, not a starting price within a broader price list. For context, comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the Costa del Sol currently start lower but typically involve smaller units or different locations: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Against these, this resale property includes a garage space and storage room, an 18 m² glazed terrace and a completed renovation. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready. Purchase costs on top of the asking price in Spain typically include transfer tax, notary and registry fees.
Daily life here is organised around the axis between the apartment, the pool terrace and the small commercial strip within a few hundred metres. The supermarket at 146 m and the pharmacy at 155 m mean that routine shopping and prescriptions do not require a car, and several restaurants within two kilometres broaden the options for eating out. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda - Riviera, lies about 393 m away as the crow flies, close enough for a morning swim or an evening walk along the shore. The apartment's rhythm follows its east orientation: the 18 m² glazed terrace catches morning light over the pool and golf course, while afternoons shift indoors or towards the coast. The residential complex is limited to 36 owners and operates without holiday rentals, which affects the character of the community: occupancy is more stable and turnover of neighbours lower than in tourist-oriented blocks along this coast. Practically, the home functions as a low-maintenance base. The living-dining area provides the main interior space, the separate kitchen contains its own work zone, and the second bathroom serves guests and the second bedroom. Parking and storage are solved within the building. For orientation beyond the neighbourhood, the A-7 coastal road connects Riviera del Sol with Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella to the south-west; the train station at Fuengirola, 3.7 km away in a straight line, links towards Málaga. Four public transport lines and roughly 50 stops serve the wider area, so a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for local life.
Riviera del Sol occupies the coastal section of Mijas Costa, an established residential belt between Fuengirola and Marbella. The immediate surroundings are urban rather than rural: shops, a pharmacy, restaurants and schools all sit within a short radius, and 15 primary schools plus 10 secondary schools serve the wider municipality. Healthcare is anchored by two health centres in the area, with a hospital 10 km away in a straight line. The environment stays lively year-round rather than emptying outside summer, a trait reinforced by roughly 10 hotels and 2,131 tourist beds in the zone, enough seasonal activity to keep restaurants open in winter without dominating the residential character. Sports provision is strong: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila lies 1.5 km away, Raquetas de Mijas 2.0 km and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas 2.4 km, covering padel, racket sports and municipal facilities. For electric-car owners, a charging point stands 699 m from the property and the Fuengirola Supercharger 7.7 km away. Transport consists of four bus lines and around 50 stops across the area, with the Fuengirola railway station 3.7 km distant in a straight line connecting towards Málaga and the airport. Marbella, with almost 148,000 inhabitants, is 16 km away; Málaga city, at 579,000 inhabitants, is 35 km. This combination places the apartment in a settled, service-rich neighbourhood rather than an isolated resort.
The map shows the apartment in its coastal setting: the beach under 400 m to the south-east, the golf course framing the views, and the commercial strip of Riviera del Sol immediately around it. Fuengirola lies a few kilometres north-east, Marbella south-west. Straight-line distances on the map translate into slightly longer road routes.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol, within the municipality of Mijas. Marbella lies 16 km to the south-west and Fuengirola roughly 4 km to the north-east, giving residents two sizeable service centres within a short drive. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,000 inhabitants, sits 35 km away and is reachable via the coastal railway from Fuengirola or by road to the airport at roughly 21 km straight-line. This centrality, beach, golf, town and airport all within a compact radius, is the location's defining regional characteristic, placing it between the resort intensity of Marbella and the urban scale of the Fuengirola-Málaga corridor.
The apartment's position is defined by short internal distances and reasonable regional connections. The nearest beach is roughly 393 m away as the crow flies, with two more Calahonda beaches within a kilometre. A supermarket at 146 m and a pharmacy at 155 m make daily errands a matter of minutes on foot. Golf is a defining feature of the accessibility picture: Cabopino Golf lies 3.2 km away, El Chaparral Golf Club 4.5 km and El Soto Golf 4.6 km, with Campo Los Lagos even closer at 1.1 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is about 21 km in a straight line, the source data also lists 27 km for the airport, both figures being direct distances, making flight connections reachable in well under an hour by road. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 75 km. The coastal railway terminates at Fuengirola station, 3.7 km straight-line from the property, from which trains run towards Málaga with connections to the airport. Marinas at Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Cabopino (9.1 km) serve boating interests. All distances are straight-line; road distances and travel times will be somewhat longer, and morning and evening traffic on the A-7 can add delay in high season.

The climate data supports year-round residential use. The average annual temperature is 18.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer, a pattern that keeps heating needs limited and makes outdoor life viable in every month. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts five months, roughly May or June through September or October. The terrain around the apartment is essentially flat: the site sits at 45 m elevation with a gradient to the beach of about 1.1%, so walking and cycling to the coast involve no meaningful climb. Green surroundings come from the golf courses rather than natural parkland; the courses at 1.1 to 4.6 km frame the landscape with irrigated greens. For views and orientation, La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers a viewpoint and a village-scale contrast to Riviera del Sol. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, while summer months are predominantly dry, the classic Mediterranean pattern that shapes the region's outdoor rhythm of terrace mornings, beach afternoons and evening walks.

Beach access is one of the location's practical strengths. Playa de Calahonda - Riviera lies about 393 m away as the crow flies, with Playa de Calahonda - Rocas del Mar at 791 m and Playa de Calahonda - Calahonda at 1.0 km; further south, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral all sit around 3.8 km distant. This cluster gives residents a choice between the closest urban beaches and quieter stretches. Recreation extends well beyond the sand. Golfers can reach Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila Golf at 1.6 km, Cabopino Golf at 3.2 km, El Chaparral Golf Club at 4.5 km and El Soto Golf at 4.6 km, a density of courses few European residential areas match. Padel and racket sports are covered by Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) and Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km). Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km), provide moorings, chandleries and waterfront dining. For walks and viewpoints, La Cala de Mijas at 3.9 km combines a watchtower viewpoint with a village centre. The communal pool in the complex itself adds an immediate option for swimming without leaving home.

Flat
Measured against current new-build supply on the Costa del Sol, this resale apartment sits in the mid-range of the market. Lantana Residencial in Mijas advertises units from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, all starting prices for new construction, typically for entry-level units before upgrades, garage spaces or storage are added. This property's fixed price of €312,900 for 75 m² works out at roughly €4,170 per square metre, which is within the normal band for established Mijas Costa stock near the beach and golf courses; new-build equivalents in the same micro-market generally price per square metre above that level once extras are counted. The trade-off is generational: a 2006 building with a completed renovation versus a new-build warranty and modern energy standards, delivered at a future date rather than immediately. Locationally, Riviera del Sol competes directly with Calahonda, La Cala de Mijas and Elviria. Compared with La Cala, which retains a village core, Riviera del Sol is more uniformly residential and service-oriented. Compared with Elviria closer to Marbella, price levels here are generally lower while beach and golf access remain comparable. Regional demand indicators support liquidity: the area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, and the median provincial income of €16,450 underlines how much of the coastal demand comes from buyers outside the local labour market. For a buyer weighing this apartment against off-plan alternatives, the deciding factors are timing and certainty, an immediately available, renovated home in a no-rental community versus a lower entry price with a construction wait and completion risk.
