Located in the established area of Riviera del Sol, this completed three-bedroom apartment offers direct access to Mediterranean coastal living. The property of 97 square metres provides practical accommodation within an urban environment where daily amenities are within walking distance. With its south-west orientation and proximity to multiple golf courses, the apartment represents a residential option in one of Málaga's accessible coastal communities.
Compared to other properties in the region, this Riviera del Sol apartment represents a mid-market positioning in both price and location advantages. In Estepona, properties such as Acqua Gardens start at approximately €418,800, reflecting a higher price point for similar accommodation in a more westerly location. Aby Upper in Estepona, starting at €320,000, offers a lower entry price but potentially less developed infrastructure in the immediate surroundings. Further east, Alba Benalmadena shows significantly higher starting prices at €598,800, reflecting the premium associated with the Benalmadena area's tourism infrastructure. The Riviera del Sol location provides a balance between these options, offering established amenities and golf proximity while maintaining moderate pricing compared to more famous coastal destinations. The 27-kilometre distance to Málaga Airport places it favourably compared to more easterly properties, which may face longer transfer times. The completed status of this development also distinguishes it from many comparable offerings that may still be under construction, eliminating completion uncertainties.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is situated in Riviera del Sol, an urban development with direct coastal access. Its position at 135 metres above sea level provides elevation while maintaining proximity to the shoreline. The location features a developed infrastructure with established services and transport connections to surrounding areas.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration addresses functional living requirements for families or couples requiring additional space. The 97-square-metre layout with terrace provides adequate living areas, while the inclusion of storage facilities and parking accommodates practical storage and vehicle needs within an urban residential context.
As a completed development, this apartment represents a finished construction with no building timelines or completion uncertainties. The property is immediately available for occupation, with established communal facilities including swimming pools and gardens already in place and maintained.
The property does not offer exclusive beach access or private shoreline facilities. The 6.4% slope gradient to the beach may present mobility challenges for some residents. The urban setting means a lack of expansive private grounds beyond the communal areas and personal terrace space.
This apartment would suit buyers seeking immediate occupancy in a developed coastal area rather than waiting for new construction. Its three-bedroom configuration makes it appropriate for families requiring permanent space, for couples planning regular extended visits, or for investors seeking rental property with year-round appeal. The proximity to golf courses would particularly attract those who play regularly, while the walking distance to amenities suits those who prefer not to drive for daily necessities. Buyers looking for a balance between urban convenience and coastal access would find the location practical. The property would also suit those seeking a Mediterranean base that can be used immediately without requiring furnishing or completion work, as it comes fully equipped and ready for occupation.
The apartment features a functional finish with practical elements designed for Mediterranean living. The south-west facing terrace of approximately 26 square metres provides extended living space with sea views. Inside, the property includes fitted wardrobes offering integrated storage solutions. The kitchen comes fully equipped with necessary appliances including a washing machine, oven, and refrigerator. Climate control features include air conditioning with both heating and cooling functions, providing year-round temperature management in the Mediterranean climate. The presence of a fireplace offers additional heating during cooler winter evenings, a feature not standard in all coastal properties. The property's excellent condition suggests appropriate maintenance of both interior elements and the building's structural components.
With a starting price of €349,000 for a three-bedroom apartment, this property represents the mid-range segment within the Riviera del Sol market. The completed status means immediate availability without construction delays, potentially reducing additional costs associated with new developments. The inclusion of underground parking and storage room within the price represents additional value compared to properties where these features must be purchased separately.
Daily life at this apartment involves a routine shaped by Mediterranean coastal rhythms. Mornings might begin with breakfast on the south-west facing terrace, capturing the early sunshine before the day warms. The immediate proximity of shops and services within a 150-metre radius allows for practical daily errands on foot, creating opportunities for regular interaction with local businesses. The elevation provides a cooler microclimate than beach-level properties, while still maintaining connection to the sea. Evenings often involve a choice between socialising at one of the 24 nearby restaurants or enjoying the private space of the terrace with sea views. The proximity to golf courses offers sporting opportunities, while the established urbanisation provides a sense of community with shared facilities including the swimming pools, which become gathering points during warmer months.
The immediate surroundings offer a balance of residential and commercial facilities. Within a 2-kilometre radius, residents have access to 24 restaurants, 4 pharmacies, 3 banks, and 7 cafes, creating a comprehensive service environment without requiring vehicle use. The area includes educational facilities with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools within proximity. Healthcare needs are served by 2 local health centres, with a major hospital located approximately 10 kilometres away for more serious concerns. The presence of 10 hotels and over 2,000 tourist beds in the area indicates a maintained tourism infrastructure that supports year-round activity. Transportation links include 4 public transport routes with 50 stops, alongside the train station at Fuengirola 8.7 kilometres distant, providing connections to Málaga and other coastal destinations.
The property is situated in an established urbanisation at Riviera del Sol, positioned between the Mediterranean coastline and the inland mountains. The map shows the apartment's location in relation to key facilities: beaches to the south, golf courses to the north-east, and the commercial centre of Fuengirola to the east. The elevation at 135 metres above sea level places it above the immediate coastal strip while maintaining sea views.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a position between the larger established centres of Fuengirola to the east and Marbella to the west. This intermediate location provides access to the amenities of both major towns while maintaining a distinct identity as a developed residential area. The 8.7-kilometre distance to Fuengirola places it within the wider metropolitan area while offering separation from the most concentrated tourist zones. The position within Málaga province, rather than the more expensive Marbella municipality, typically results in more moderate property values while still providing access to similar coastal infrastructure and services.
Beach access involves a 2.1-kilometre journey to Playa de Calahonda - Riviera, with two additional beach options within a kilometre. The 6.4% gradient to the shoreline means the descent to the beach is relatively steep, potentially impacting ease of access for some residents. The apartment's position 27 kilometres from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport allows approximately 30-minute journey times under normal traffic conditions. Golf facilities are particularly accessible, with three courses within 3.2 to 4.6 kilometres: Cabopino Golf, El Chaparral Golf Club, and El Soto Golf. For shopping, a supermarket lies just 146 metres away, while pharmacies are within 155 metres, demonstrating exceptional convenience for daily necessities. The marina at Puerto Cabopino, 3.7 kilometres distant, offers boating facilities and seaside dining options.
