This key-ready 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment is set in the Royal Golf development in Riviera del Sol, Mijas, on the Costa del Sol. The property measures 103 m² of living space and is offered at a fixed asking price of €338,000. Completed in 2005, the home forms part of a gated community with landscaped gardens and two communal swimming pools. The terrace and lounge face directly onto the golf course, with mountain and panoramic views beyond. A private garage space and storage room are included in the sale, and the apartment is delivered unfurnished.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits between Fuengirola and Marbella on the central Costa del Sol. The apartment lies within the Royal Golf urbanisation, roughly 3.8 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies and 1.1 km from the Los Lagos golf course. Marbella is 16 km away in a straight line, Málaga 35 km, and Málaga Airport approximately 21 km.
The layout serves two residents comfortably: two bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom with bath, a second bathroom with shower, a separate kitchen with storage, and a lounge-dining area opening onto a covered terrace. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control year-round. A lift serves the building, and fitted wardrobes are in place.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2005 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred and occupied directly after purchase. The condition is reported as well maintained. As with any resale purchase, an independent technical inspection remains advisable before completion.
The apartment is north-facing, which limits direct midday sun on the terrace compared with south-facing units. It is sold unfurnished, so furnishing costs should be budgeted separately. The pool is communal, not private. The beach is not within walking distance for most residents; daily access requires a car. No private garden belongs to the property.

This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home benefits from the gated complex, communal maintenance and proximity to Malaga Airport at roughly 21 km in a straight line, which keeps transfers short. Golf players value the position: three courses within about 2 km means walking or a two-minute drive to the first tee. Permanent residents who prefer a quiet, green base over beachfront noise will find the urbanisation calm, with Fuengirola's services a short drive away. Buyers on a mid-range budget who want two bathrooms, a garage and a storage room, features often absent in newer entry-level flats, get more built substance per euro than in a comparable new-build. Conversely, the property is less suitable for households wanting to walk to the beach daily, for those seeking a south-facing terrace with all-day sun, or for buyers who require turnkey furniture, since the home is delivered unfurnished. Buyers planning rental use should note the north orientation and inland position may affect peak-season demand compared with sea-view units.
The building dates from 2005, which places it in the era of solid Spanish mid-market construction: concrete frame, rendered facades and conventional tiled finishes throughout. The condition is reported as excellent, with the community described as well maintained, relevant for resale buyers, as the state of communal areas indicates how the community fees are managed. Inside, the apartment offers a practical rather than contemporary specification: a separate kitchen with additional storage space, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and a bathroom arrangement of one bath and one shower. Climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, which covers heating and cooling without a separate system. The covered terrace extends the living area for most of the year, and the private terrace area is oriented towards the golf course. The lift ensures level access to the floor, and the included garage space plus storage room address two practical needs that resale flats in this segment frequently lack. As the home is sold unfurnished, the interior finish is partially determined by the buyer: flooring, kitchen and bathrooms are existing, but furniture, window treatments and possibly appliances need to be added. Buyers planning deeper renovation should factor this into their budget and timeline. A pre-purchase technical survey is the standard instrument to verify building condition, damp status and installation quality before notarial completion.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €338,000. For this amount the buyer acquires 103 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a covered terrace with golf views, a private garage space and a storage room, all within a gated complex with communal pools. As a resale completed in 2005, the price sits below typical new-build rates on this stretch of coast, comparable new developments start from €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, though those figures are entry prices for smaller units. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life here follows the rhythm of a residential golf urbanisation rather than a beach town. Mornings typically begin on the covered terrace, which looks out over the fairways with mountain and country views in the distance. The setting is quiet, green and low-density, with the gated complex providing controlled access, mature communal gardens and two swimming pools used by residents. Practical errands, shops, pharmacies, restaurants, are a short drive away, with five restaurants and two pharmacies recorded within 2 km of the urbanisation. The separate kitchen suits households that cook at home regularly, while the second bathroom makes the layout workable for guests or two sharers. Because the beach lies about 3.8 km away in a straight line, most residents drive there in roughly five minutes and combine a beach visit with shopping or dining in Riviera del Sol or nearby La Cala de Mijas. Golf players can reach three courses, Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila at 1.6 km and Los Olivos at 1.6 km, within minutes. Outside the summer months the area quietens considerably, as much of the surrounding housing serves holiday use. For permanent residents this means less traffic in winter and a slower pace, with Fuengirola's fuller urban infrastructure, including its train station 3.7 km away, within easy reach by car.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with accessible infrastructure. Within 2 km the area registers five restaurants and two pharmacies, and the broader Riviera del Sol zone contains ten hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, an indication of a mature tourist area with supporting commerce. Education and healthcare are represented at regional level: fifteen primary schools, ten secondary schools and two health centres serve the wider municipality, making the location viable for year-round family living, though most schools and clinics require a short drive. Sports facilities cluster nearby: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km, Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km cover padel, racket sports and general athletics. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the nearest coastal village centre with its weekly market and seafront promenade. Public transport exists, four lines and fifty stops in the area, which allows basic mobility without a car, though frequency is modest and most residents rely on private vehicles. The setting at 45 metres elevation with a flat gradient of 1.1% toward the sea makes walking and cycling locally feasible despite the distance to the beach.
The map shows the apartment's position on the golf plateau of Riviera del Sol, set back from the coast between Fuengirola and Marbella. Note how the three golf courses cluster immediately around the property, while the beaches form a strip roughly 3.8 km to the south as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central Costa del Sol between the municipal boundaries of Mijas and Marbella, 16 km in a straight line from Marbella, 35 km from Málaga and about 3.7 km from Fuengirola's station. This mid-point position gives residents two-directional access: westward to Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona, eastward to Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga city. The area functions as a residential golf zone rather than a town centre, with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year recorded in the surrounding region, indicating an active and liquid resale market.
Accessibility is one of the location's practical strengths. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 21 km away in a straight line, typically a drive of around twenty-five to thirty minutes, which shortens arrival and departure considerably for international owners. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 75 km away as an alternative. By train, Fuengirola station sits 3.7 km from the property, connecting along the coast to Málaga city centre and the airport; Carvajal (7.2 km) and Torremuelle (10.0 km) are secondary options. Beaches at Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral all lie about 3.8 km away in a straight line, reached in roughly five minutes by car. Marbella is 16 km in a straight line westward, Málaga 35 km eastward. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km, serve boating and waterfront dining. An electric-vehicle charger, the Fuengirola Supercharger, is 7.7 km away. All distances are straight-line figures; road distances and travel times are longer.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal profile. The average annual temperature is 18.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C at the summer peak, a spread that keeps winters mild enough for year-round occupation without heavy heating. The swimming season lasts about five months, the period during which sea water holds at 20°C or above, roughly May through September. The property sits at 45 metres above sea level on terrain with a gradient of only 1.1% toward the beach, so the urbanisation is essentially flat, relevant for walking, cycling and accessibility. The elevation, though modest, lifts the apartment above coastal humidity slightly and combines with the north orientation to produce golf-facing views toward the Mijas mountains rather than direct sea views. The surrounding landscape mixes fairways, low residential development and the green foothills visible from the terrace, giving the area a greener character than the concrete-fronted coastal strip.

Coastal recreation centres on the beaches roughly 3.8 km away as the crow flies: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, the latter a known kitesurf and wingfoil spot on windy days. The beaches of Riviera del Sol and La Cala de Mijas combine sand with chiringuitos and beachside restaurants within a short drive. Golf is the defining recreation at the doorstep, Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila Golf at 1.6 km and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km give three courses within two kilometres, an unusually high concentration even by Costa del Sol standards. Padel and racket sports are covered by three dedicated facilities between 1.5 and 2.4 km away. For maritime leisure, two marinas lie within ten kilometres: Fuengirola's Puerto Deportivo at 4.3 km and the smaller, quieter Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km. Hiking options open in the Sierra de Mijas directly behind the urbanisation, and the La Cala viewpoint at 3.9 km offers a local walking destination with sea views.

Set against current new-build supply on the Costa del Sol, this resale apartment occupies a distinct position. Comparable projects 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), all entry prices, typically for smaller units with communal facilities but rarely with a garage and storage room included. At €338,000 fixed, this 103 m² apartment delivers two bathrooms, a covered golf-facing terrace, a garage and a storeroom, a package that new-build entry units in the same price bracket generally do not match. The trade-off is age: a 2005 building carries an older specification than 2024-2026 stock, and the north orientation provides less terrace sun than the south-facing units marketed in new developments. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, closer to both Marbella (16 km straight line) and the airport (about 21 km) than Torre del Mar or Estepona, which lie at the eastern and western fringes of the coast. The local market registers around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating healthy resale liquidity, a relevant factor for buyers weighing future exit options. Buyers choosing between this apartment and a new-build alternative are effectively choosing built substance, space and immediate availability over modern specification, warranty coverage under building guarantees, and typically better energy performance. The area's tourism infrastructure, ten hotels and roughly 2,131 beds nearby, also supports a rental market for owners considering seasonal letting, though rental income projections should be verified against community rules and regional licensing requirements.
