A renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment in an established residential complex in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The 72 m² home, completed in 2004 and recently modernised, includes an open-plan fitted kitchen, a south-west facing terrace, underground parking and a storage room. Residents have access to two communal swimming pools and a paddle court. The asking price is fixed at €349,950 and the property is key-ready, sold fully furnished.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment competes primarily on condition and completeness rather than on new-build specification. Comparable projects listed in the region include Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). Those are new-build developments with phase-based pricing; this property, by contrast, is a fixed-price resale at €349,950 in a completed, established complex, a different purchase proposition in several respects. The buyer acquires a known product: a built environment from 2004 with mature communal gardens and pools, a renovation that has already been carried out, full furnishing, and both a parking space and storage room included. New-build alternatives at lower entry prices typically exclude parking and storage from the headline figure and involve delivery periods, whereas this home is key-ready. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, closer to golf and padel facilities than most coastal-strip developments, three courses within 1.6 km, while remaining 3.8 km from the beach, further inland than frontline developments in La Cala or Estepona. The local market records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment with liquidity for existing homes. Median income in the province of €16,450 provides context for local purchasing power, though international buyers dominate this segment of the market. Buyers weighing this property against new-build options are effectively trading modern building standards and developer payment terms for immediacy, included extras and an established community.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a residential urbanisation in the municipality of Mijas, positioned between Fuengirola and Marbella. The apartment lies within an established complex close to the Las Terrazas commercial centre, roughly a ten-minute walk away, with supermarkets and dining options. Golf courses sit at 1.1 to 1.6 km straight-line distance, and the nearest beaches are 3.8 km away.
The layout serves practical year-round living: a bright lounge-diner connected to a covered terrace, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom plus a guest shower room, and a separate utility room beside the modernised kitchen. Air conditioning, marble flooring and a lift in the building add daily comfort for permanent residents as well as holiday users.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 2004 and recently renovated throughout. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the buyer can take possession directly after completion of the purchase process. The renovation covered the kitchen and general finishing; the building itself dates from the original construction period of the complex.
The property does not offer a private pool or private garden; swimming facilities are communal, shared with the rest of the complex. The plot area registered is 30 m², and the apartment is a ground-floor unit rather than an upper floor with panoramic views. No information is available regarding energy performance certification, and beach access requires a short drive of a few minutes.
This apartment fits several recognisable buyer situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Costa del Sol will find the key-ready condition, full furnishing and communal facilities directly usable from the first visit onward, without renovation work or furnishing projects. Buyers planning permanent relocation benefit from the practical layout: two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, two bathrooms including an en-suite, a functional utility room, and walking access to a supermarket and pharmacy within two kilometres. Golf players and paddle enthusiasts can note the three golf courses within 1.6 km straight-line distance and the padel club at 1.5 km. Those with limited mobility or a preference for step-free access are served by the ground-floor position, the lift in the building and the listed disabled access. Investors may consider the rental potential of a furnished two-bedroom unit in a consolidated rental area with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the surrounding market. The property is less suited to buyers seeking a private pool, a private garden or direct sea views, since the outdoor space consists of the private covered terrace and the communal facilities are shared.
The apartment was recently renovated, and the specification reflects a completed modernisation rather than a project awaiting finishing. The open-plan kitchen is fully fitted with a breakfast bar, ample workspace and integrated appliances, complemented by a separate utility room. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of the period but here paired with updated interiors. Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes; the main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, with a separate guest shower room serving the rest of the home. Climate control is provided by air conditioning. The lounge-diner is described as large and bright, with direct access to the covered, south-west facing terrace, an orientation that delivers afternoon and evening sun for most of the year. Beyond the apartment itself, the purchase includes an underground parking space and a storage room in the same complex, both practical additions on a urbanisation where surface parking comes under pressure in summer. The communal areas consist of two swimming pools and a paddle court, maintained by the community. As an existing building from 2004, the construction standard is that of its period, and the renovation applies to interior finishing and kitchen rather than to the building envelope. No energy performance certificate data is available in the provided documentation.
The asking price is fixed at €349,950 for the complete package: the 72 m² apartment, sold fully furnished, including the underground parking space and separate storage room, plus access to the communal pools and paddle court. This is an existing resale property, so no staged price list or phase-based increases apply. Within the wider region, comparable new-build projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas start from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, figures that place this renovated, key-ready home with parking included in the mid-range of the current market.
Daily life in this apartment follows the rhythm of an established Costa del Sol urbanisation. The ground-floor position means the covered terrace functions as an extension of the living space for most of the year, oriented south-west so that afternoon and evening sun fall directly on the outdoor area. The open-plan kitchen with breakfast bar sits at the centre of the home, with the lounge-diner beside it and direct terrace access. A separate utility room keeps laundry and household storage out of sight. The Las Terrazas commercial centre is about a ten-minute walk away, covering supermarket visits and dining without needing the car. The immediate area combines residential calm with proximity to sports facilities: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila lies 1.5 km away as the crow flies, and three golf courses, Campo Los Lagos, Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos, sit within 1.6 km straight-line distance. The beach at Playa del Castillo is 3.8 km away in a direct line, a few minutes by car along the coast road. With two communal pools and a paddle court inside the complex, leisure options also exist on the doorstep. The nearest train station is Fuengirola at 3.7 km straight-line distance, and the area is served by four public transport lines with around fifty stops, which makes shorter trips feasible without a vehicle, although a car remains practical for beach visits and wider exploration.
The surroundings combine residential calm with short distances to daily facilities. Within two kilometres, the data lists five restaurants and two pharmacies, alongside the Las Terrazas commercial centre roughly ten minutes on foot, with its supermarket and dining options. Educational provision in the wider area covers fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools, and two health centres serve local residents, relevant for buyers considering year-round living rather than seasonal use. Tourism infrastructure is present but moderate, with ten hotels and around 2,131 beds, indicating an area that stays active in season without being dominated by hotel districts. Sports facilities cluster nearby: three golf courses within 1.6 km straight-line, padel at 1.5 km and additional racket sports at Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km). The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the transition toward the coastal villages further west. Distances stated are straight-line; actual road routes are somewhat longer. In practice, most daily errands can be done on foot or by a short drive, while Marbella at 16 km and Málaga at 35 km cover city-level services, shopping and culture.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a mid-position on the western Costa del Sol, in the municipality of Mijas between Fuengirola (train station 3.7 km straight-line) and Marbella (16 km). Málaga city and its airport lie 35 km and roughly 21 km away respectively, while Gibraltar is around 75 km to the south-west. This position places the apartment within easy reach of both the Fuengirola conurbation and the Marbella belt, two of the coast's principal employment and service centres, while remaining in a lower-density residential urbanisation geared toward golf and leisure.
Beaches lie 3.8 km away in a straight line, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, reachable within a few minutes by car along the coast road, on a route described as flat with a gradient of about 1.1%. Marbella is 16 km away as the crow flies and Málaga 35 km, with Málaga city counting some 579,000 inhabitants and a full range of urban services. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 21 km in a direct line, making arrivals and departures straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at around 75 km. Public transport consists of four lines with roughly fifty stops in the area. The Fuengirola train station, 3.7 km straight-line away, connects along the coastal railway toward Málaga, with further stations at Carvajal (7.2 km) and Torremuelle (10.0 km). An electric vehicle charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, sits 7.7 km away. For marinas, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 km straight-line distance.

Riviera del Sol sits at approximately 45 metres above sea level on a gentle coastal slope, with a gradient toward the beach of about 1.1%, effectively flat terrain for walking and cycling. The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.6°C. The swimming season extends to roughly five months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, which in practice runs from late spring into early autumn. This combination, mild winters and a long warm season, supports year-round use of the terrace and the communal pools. The urbanisation sits inland of the coastal strip, so the immediate surroundings are residential streets and golf-oriented green zones rather than natural parkland; the nearest listed viewpoint is at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km straight-line away. Winters remain mild enough for outdoor living, while summer heat is moderated by the coastal position, with air conditioning available in the apartment for the warmest months.

Recreation within the immediate area centres strongly on sport: three golf courses lie within 1.6 km straight-line distance (Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km), padel at Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila 1.5 km away, and additional racket facilities at Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km) and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas (2.4 km). Inside the complex itself, residents use two communal swimming pools and a paddle court. For nautical recreation, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is 4.3 km away and Puerto Cabopino, known for its sheltered anchorage and beach restaurants, lies 9.1 km in a direct line. All distances are as the crow flies; road distances are somewhat greater.
