A fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment situated on the top floor of an established urbanisation in Riviera del Sol, Mijas Costa. Built in 1985 and offered in good condition at a fixed asking price of €299,950, the property includes a south-facing private terrace with sea views and access to a communal pool. The setting places it near Miraflores Golf, roughly 3.8 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies, and within practical reach of both Fuengirola and Marbella along the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a residential urbanisation between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas Costa. The apartment stands within an established neighbourhood with shops nearby, several golf courses within about 2 km, and beaches approximately 3.8 km away in a straight line. Fuengirola's train station lies 3.7 km distant, connecting towards Málaga.
The home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 68 m², fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes and double glazing. The covered private terrace extends the living space outdoors, oriented south for sun exposure. A communal pool serves the urbanisation, and the top-floor position reduces direct neighbours above.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment dates from 1985 and is key-ready, offered with a complete furniture package so occupation can follow purchase without furnishing works. Completion dates do not apply; transfer depends on the standard notarial process between buyer and seller.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or designated parking in the listed features. At 68 m² the living area is compact for a two-bedroom layout. Constructed in 1985, the building predates current efficiency standards; no energy performance details are supplied in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home benefits from the furnished condition, the compact layout and the terrace-oriented living: flights into Málaga land roughly 21 km away in a straight line, and the home can be used from day one without furnishing projects. Small families or owners who regularly host guests gain from the two-bathroom arrangement, which avoids the bottleneck of a single shared bathroom in older coastal stock. Buyers prioritising outlook over interior volume, those who value a top floor, south orientation and layered views rather than square metres, will find the 68 m² trade-off coherent, since the terrace extends usable space considerably. Investors evaluating the rental market should note the location's fundamentals: roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the area indicate an active market, and proximity to golf courses supports off-season demand. The property is less suitable for buyers requiring private outdoor space beyond a terrace, designated parking, or a modern building envelope, since none of these form part of the offer.
The apartment is delivered fully furnished, including a fitted kitchen with white cabinetry visible in the listing photography, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and a complete furniture package. The images show a living room with fireplace and ocean view, a modernised bathroom with shower and integrated storage, and a coherent interior finish consistent with the good condition stated in the features. Double glazing is present, which on this stretch of coast matters both for thermal comfort and for reducing noise from the surrounding urbanisation. The covered terrace, combined with the private terrace area, gives protected outdoor space usable outside the peak summer months, when direct sun exposure on a south face is at its strongest. The building itself dates from 1985, so the construction standard is of its period: buyers should expect conventional Spanish build methods of that decade rather than contemporary insulation levels. Community facilities include the communal pool set within the urbanisation's garden areas. No information is available in the data on recent installations such as boilers, air conditioning or electrical upgrades, and no energy performance figures are supplied; these points merit direct verification during a viewing or through the technical due diligence phase of the purchase process.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €299,950 as an existing, key-ready home; this is not a from-price within a development price list. That figure positions the property below comparable new-build entries in the wider region, Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, while Aquamar in Torre del Mar lists from €269,950. Unlike those off-plan projects, this price corresponds to a completed, furnished home that can be inspected before purchase. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish conveyancing timeline.
Daily life at this apartment revolves around a compact but complete layout: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open flow between living area and kitchen, with the covered terrace functioning as the true second living room for much of the year. The south orientation means the terrace receives sun through the middle of the day, which in practice shifts a good portion of daily activity outdoors between spring and late autumn. The top-floor position brings the sea, golf, mountain and urban views described in the listing, and reduces overhead disturbance. Riviera del Sol itself is a consolidated urbanisation rather than a town centre: shops, five restaurants and two pharmacies sit within 2 km, while the coastal hub of La Cala de Mijas lies about 3.9 km away as the crow flies. The rhythm here is typical of the central Costa del Sol: quieter winter months, a marked seasonal influx in summer, and a strong year-round base of permanent residents around the golf courses. Practical errands generally require a car; four public transport lines with 50 stops provide a local alternative, and Fuengirola station 3.7 km away offers rail connections towards Málaga. For buyers weighing rental use alongside personal stays, the two-bathroom configuration and furnished state reduce the practical barriers to letting, though licensing and community rules must be verified separately.
The immediate setting is an established residential urbanisation with the infrastructure of daily life within a short radius: five restaurants and two pharmacies within 2 km, shops listed as close by, and two health centres serving the locality. Education provision in the area covers fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools, which signals a year-round resident population rather than a purely seasonal resort zone. The climate supports outdoor living for most of the year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 14 to 26 °C and an annual mean of 18.6 °C; the swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about five months. For recreation, the location is strongly oriented towards golf: Campo Los Lagos lies 1.1 km away, with Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both around 1.6 km, and padel clubs at 1.5 and 2.0 km. The beaches of Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and El Chaparral sit roughly 3.8 km away in a straight line, reachable in a few minutes by car. The terrain to the coast is essentially flat, with a 1.1% gradient, making cycling a realistic alternative for local trips.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol: 16 km from Marbella, 35 km from Málaga city and 3.7 km from Fuengirola's station and urban core. This places it within the Mijas Costa belt, a stretch known for golf courses and consolidated residential urbanisations rather than high-rise resort density. The location suits buyers who want coastal access combined with quick motorway connections in both directions along the A-7 corridor, positioning them between the airport and Marbella within half an hour of each.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless stated otherwise. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 21 km away, a drive that typically takes around half an hour depending on traffic; Gibraltar airport is about 75 km distant. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station at 3.7 km, with Carvajal at 7.2 km, connecting to the Cercanías line towards Málaga city, which sits 35 km from the property. Marbella, with its historic centre and larger commercial offer, is 16 km away, approximately 15 minutes by car according to the supplied information. Four local bus lines with 50 stops cover the urbanisation itself, though a car remains the practical mode for beaches, golf and bulk shopping. The Fuengirola Supercharger for electric vehicles stands 7.7 km away. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km) provide the nearest marinas for boating and waterfront dining.

Riviera del Sol lies at low elevation, about 45 m above sea level, on the gently sloping coastal shelf of the Mijas Costa. The gradient towards the beach averages 1.1%, meaning the terrain is flat enough for walking and cycling without significant climbs, a practical point for older residents and for everyday errands. The climate is Mediterranean with an annual mean temperature of 18.6 °C and monthly averages between 14 and 26 °C across the year, which keeps terraces and outdoor spaces usable from early spring into late autumn. Sea temperatures support comfortable swimming for roughly five months per year. Behind the urbanisation the Sierra de Mijas rises to the north, providing the mountain views noted in the listing and a backdrop of hiking and cycling terrain; the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers a recognised vantage point over the coastline.

The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie approximately 3.8 km from the apartment as the crow flies, along the sandy stretch of Mijas Costa between Fuengirola and La Cala. Golf is the defining recreational asset of this location: three courses (Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila and Los Olivos at 1.6 km) sit within walking or short driving distance, an unusual concentration that also shapes the seasonal rhythm of the neighbourhood, keeping visitor traffic present outside the summer months. Racquet sports are well represented, with Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila 1.5 km away and Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km, while Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km offers broader municipal sports facilities. The tourism infrastructure in the area, ten hotels with around 2,131 beds, supports restaurants and services year-round without the scale of resort saturation found further along the coast. Both marinas within 10 km add sailing and waterfront options.

Set against the comparable projects in the wider region, this apartment represents the resale alternative to the current new-build market. Lantana Residencial in Mijas enters the market from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, while Aquamar in Torre del Mar lists from €269,950. The €299,950 asking price here is fixed rather than an entry point into a variable price list, and it buys a completed, furnished home that can be physically inspected before commitment, a materially different risk profile from off-plan purchases where specification and delivery remain ahead of the buyer. The trade-off is age: a 1985 building carries the construction standards of its era, whereas the comparables offer contemporary envelopes and, in some cases, better energy performance. Within Riviera del Sol itself, the local market records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating steady liquidity for resale stock in this belt of the Mijas Costa. Locationally, the property sits closer to Marbella (16 km) than Estepona or Torre del Mar offerings sit to that city, and considerably closer to Málaga airport (about 21 km) than either western or eastern comparables. Buyers choosing between this and the new-build options are, in effect, weighing immediacy, furnishing and views against modern construction and developer warranties.
