This key-ready apartment is situated in the Riviera Park urbanisation in Riviera del Sol, Mijas, on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2004, the home offers 99 m² of living space with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a south-facing covered terrace and panoramic views. The property includes a garage space and storage room, and sits within a gated complex with communal pools, landscaped gardens and a paddle tennis court, adjacent to golf courses and within reach of the beaches between Fuengirola and Marbella.
Set against current new-build alternatives in the region, this resale apartment occupies a distinct position. Lantana Residencial in Mijas advertises from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all lower-base new construction, but with from-prices that typically apply to the smallest units and often exclude parking or storage, which here are included in the fixed €300,000 asking price. The trade-off is age: a 2004 building carries the finishes and installation standards of its era, whereas new-build projects deliver current regulations and energy performance. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits closer to Marbella than Torre del Mar or Estepona, and the immediate adjacency of three golf courses within 1.6 kilometres is a specific local asset that the comparison projects do not necessarily match. Accessibility is another differentiator: Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 21 kilometres in a direct line, shorter than from Estepona or Torre del Mar, and the Fuengirola rail connection at 3.7 kilometres links the area to the regional network. The local market shows around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating liquidity for resale property. Median provincial income of €16,450 also frames the rental and resale demand profile: the area's buyer base is substantially international, and coastal properties in this segment historically serve both second-home and rental markets. Buyers weighing this apartment against new-build options are therefore comparing immediate availability, included parking and an established community against newer construction standards and developer payment terms.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in a quiet residential urbanisation in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella. Golf courses sit within roughly 1 to 2 kilometres, and the nearest beaches are about 3.8 kilometres away as the crow flies. Fuengirola train station is 3.7 kilometres in a direct line, and Málaga airport approximately 21 kilometres, making the location accessible by both road and rail.
The layout serves two residents or a small family: a living-dining room, an independent kitchen with laundry room, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Fitted wardrobes, a lift, a private covered terrace and pre-installed air conditioning cover day-to-day needs. A garage space and storage room are included. Communal pools and gardens provide outdoor space without private maintenance.
This is a resale apartment completed in 2004 and described as being in good condition. It is key-ready, so no construction phase or delivery waiting period applies. Standard checks for a property of this age, installation condition, community finances and legal status, form part of the usual purchase process rather than a developer handover.
The property does not offer a private pool, a private garden or sea views; views are panoramic but urban and towards the street. Air conditioning is pre-installed only, not fitted. The kitchen is partially equipped. It is an apartment in a gated community, so outdoor space is limited to the terrace and shared facilities. The beach is not within walking distance.
This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home on the Costa del Sol benefits from the two-bathroom layout, the secure gated complex and the low-maintenance communal gardens, while the included garage makes arrival and departure straightforward. A small family using it as a permanent residence has 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools within the broader area, plus two health centres nearby. Buyers focused on golf will find three courses within roughly two kilometres, with Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 kilometres adding a racquet option. Those who prioritise walking to the beach should note the 3.8-kilometre distance and factor a short drive or bike ride into their routine. The property also fits buyers who want an established, completed home rather than an off-plan purchase, avoiding construction risk and delivery delays. It is less suited to households needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or direct sea views, and the partially equipped kitchen means an initial furnishing budget should be planned. Overall, the profile matches practical buyers who value community facilities, transport access and year-round livability over front-line beach positioning.
Completed in 2004, the apartment reflects the construction standards of that period on the Mijas coast. The interior features a living-dining room with large sliding glass doors, an independent kitchen with a separate laundry room, and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. The kitchen is partially equipped, so appliances will need completing by the buyer. Air conditioning is pre-installed rather than fitted, meaning units can be added without major rewiring but are not yet in place. The two full bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, which works both for residents and for guests in a second-home scenario. The covered terrace is tiled and connects directly to the living area, as do the images showing a sunny balcony and hallway window with a pool view. The building has a lift, which matters for a middle-floor apartment. Security measures include the gated complex perimeter, an entry phone and an automatic door system. Utilities, electricity, mains water and telephone, are connected. The condition is reported as good for its age. As with any twenty-year-old property, a technical inspection of plumbing, electrics and window frames is a sensible step during the purchase process, and the community's maintenance record for the pools and gardens is worth reviewing.
The asking price is fixed at €300,000 for this resale apartment, including the garage space and storage room. At 99 m² of built living space, this corresponds to roughly €3,030 per square metre. For context, new-build projects in the wider region currently advertise from around €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial), from €269,950 in Torre del Mar (Aquamar) and from €321,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2). As an existing, completed home, this property is available for immediate purchase, subject to the standard legal and notarial process for resale property in Spain.
Riviera del Sol is a residential coastal area on the Mijas coastline, positioned between the larger centres of Fuengirola and Marbella. Daily life here follows a quiet, suburban rhythm. The complex itself is gated, with entry phone access, several communal pools, extensive gardens and a paddle tennis court, which means leisure time can largely take place on site. The apartment's south orientation brings sunlight onto the covered terrace through the middle of the day, and the living room's sliding glass doors connect the interior directly with that outdoor space. The immediate surroundings are residential rather than touristic, though the area does host hotels, around ten with just over 2,100 beds, so summer months bring more activity than winter. Within two kilometres there are five restaurants and two pharmacies, which covers basic daily needs, while larger shopping is done in Fuengirola or La Cala de Mijas. The adjacent golf courses, with Los Lagos about 1.1 kilometres away and Cerrado del Águila 1.6 kilometres, define much of the area's character. A car is the practical choice for most trips, though four public transport lines with around fifty stops in the wider area provide an alternative for commuting along the coast.
The immediate environment is a quiet residential urbanisation next to a golf course, with the practical infrastructure of the coast within a short radius. Within two kilometres, five restaurants and two pharmacies cover daily basics. Two health centres serve the local population. Education capacity in the wider area is substantial, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, which supports year-round family living rather than purely seasonal occupation. Sports facilities are close at hand: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 kilometres, Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 kilometres and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 kilometres. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 kilometres away, marks the pleasant coastal village that serves as a local hub for dining and shopping. Tourism presence is moderate, ten hotels and roughly 2,100 beds, so the area stays noticeably calmer than Fuengirola's centre while still offering visitor infrastructure. Around 3,800 housing transactions per year in the area indicate an active resale market, useful for future flexibility.
The map shows the apartment's position in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas. The nearest golf courses lie just over a kilometre away, the beaches under four kilometres, and the A-7 coastal road connects the area to Marbella (16 km) and Málaga airport (approximately 21 km in a direct line).
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central stretch of the Mijas Costa, 16 kilometres from Marbella and 35 kilometres from Málaga city, placing it between the region's two largest employment and cultural centres. Fuengirola, with its train connection and marina, lies just a few kilometres to the east. This middle position gives residents access to both towns within a short drive, while living in a distinctly quieter residential setting. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the area is positioned as an established, mid-market coastal zone, less exclusive than Marbella's Golden Mile, less dense than Fuengirola's centre, and defined above all by its golf courses and year-round population.
The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie about 3.8 kilometres away as the crow flies, with a flat gradient of 1.1 percent making the route easy by car or bicycle. Fuengirola's marina is 4.3 kilometres in a direct line, and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 kilometres. Golf is the closest amenity: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 kilometres, Cerrado del Águila and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 kilometres each. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station at 3.7 kilometres, with Carvajal at 7.2 kilometres, connecting to the regional network towards Málaga. Four bus lines and roughly fifty stops serve the locality. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 21 kilometres in a straight line, and Gibraltar Airport 75 kilometres, giving two flight options. Marbella lies 16 kilometres away and Málaga city 35 kilometres. Road distances will be longer than these direct figures.

The location sits at 45 metres above sea level with a gentle 1.1 percent gradient towards the coast, flat terrain without the steep hills found further inland in Mijas. The climate is Mediterranean: monthly average temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.6°C. The swimming season lasts about five months, when sea temperatures reach 20°C or above, generally from late spring into early autumn. This combination, mild winters and warm, dry summers, supports year-round use of the terrace and the communal pools. The golf courses and landscaped gardens nearby add green space to the immediate setting, and the coastal elevation means sea breezes moderate summer heat without the exposure of a front-line building.

Beach life centres on the stretch between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas, with three beaches roughly 3.8 kilometres away as the crow flies: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral. Each is reached in a few minutes by car from the urbanisation. For boating and waterfront dining, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola lies 4.3 kilometres away and the smaller, sheltered Puerto Cabopino 9.1 kilometres. Golf is the area's strongest recreational asset, Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 kilometres is essentially the neighbouring green, with Cerrado del Águila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both at 1.6 kilometres. Padel and tennis players can use Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) or Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km), while Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas (2.4 km) offers broader municipal sports facilities. Within the complex itself, the communal pools and paddle court allow recreation without leaving the grounds.
