This three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in Riviera del Sol, a residential area between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property measures 93 m² of living space and is offered at a fixed asking price of €375,000. Built in 1992 and described as being in good condition, it features a south-west facing terrace with sea views, a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning, marble flooring and double glazing. The urbanisation includes a communal swimming pool, shared gardens and communal parking. The apartment is key-ready and sold partly furnished.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits on the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella, roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The area combines residential urbanisations with golf courses; the nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.8 km away in a straight line. Local amenities include restaurants, pharmacies and two health centres within a short radius.
The apartment offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 93 m² of living space, with a south-west facing terrace suited to outdoor dining and afternoon sun. A communal pool and shared gardens serve the urbanisation. Practical features include air conditioning, double glazing, marble flooring and a fully fitted kitchen, which together cover everyday comfort requirements for permanent or seasonal residence.
This is an existing property, completed in 1992 and currently key-ready, so no construction phase or delivery waiting period applies. The buyer acquires a finished home sold partly furnished. Any modernisation would be a matter of personal choice rather than developer planning; the completion date of 1992 is the reference point for the building's age.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking space; pool, garden and parking are communal facilities. No storage room, lift or private outdoor kitchen is listed. Buyers seeking new-build specifications, underfloor heating or a dedicated garage space will not find these in the available data. The 93 m² living area excludes any additional built space beyond the terrace.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer wanting a key-ready home without a construction waiting period benefits from the completed, partly furnished state and the ability to move in shortly after completion of the purchase. Households needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms for a permanent move to the coast will find the layout and the nearby schools, 15 primary and 10 secondary in the wider area, relevant. Buyers focused on golf will note the three courses within 1.6 km. A couple seeking a second home with a manageable living area and communal maintenance may find the 93 m² and shared facilities a practical fit. The flat terrain and the 3.8 km distance to the beach make the location workable without heavy physical effort, though a car remains the practical mode of transport for most errands. Buyers who require a private pool, a private garden or an assigned parking space should look elsewhere, as those are not part of this offering. Similarly, anyone wanting new-build energy performance or modern development specifications should weigh the 1992 construction year carefully and inspect the installation state during a viewing.
The interior finishing follows the period in which the building was completed, with marble flooring throughout and a fully fitted kitchen included in the sale. Double glazing and air conditioning are present, which addresses the two main climate demands of the region: heat in summer and modest cool periods in winter. The bathroom shown in the listing photographs features a marble counter and shower, consistent with the rest of the material palette. Bedrooms include mirrored wardrobes, providing storage without requiring additional furniture purchases. The property is described as being in good condition, though buyers of a 1992 building are advised to verify the age and service state of installations such as the air conditioning unit, the electrical system and the hot water supply during a technical inspection. Community elements, the swimming pool, gardens and communal parking, are shared facilities whose maintenance falls under the community of owners, with annual costs to be confirmed through the community accounts. The partly furnished state means the buyer can use the home immediately while retaining the option to replace furniture over time. No energy performance certificate details have been published in the available data, so this should be requested from the seller.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €375,000. This concerns a single existing home, not a price list, so the figure applies to this specific property with its 93 m² of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, communal pool access and partly furnished condition. For context, new-build projects in the wider region start lower: 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 entry prices for different typologies and locations. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready; the standard Spanish purchase process with reservation, deposit and notary signing applies.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a compact, functional layout and an outdoor-oriented terrace. The south-west orientation means the terrace catches afternoon and evening sun, making it usable for most of the year given the regional average of 18.6 °C and a monthly range of 14 to 26 °C. Mornings tend to be spent indoors or around the urbanisation, with the communal pool and gardens a few steps from the door. The immediate area is residential rather than a hotel strip, although the wider zone contains ten hotels and roughly 2,131 tourist beds, so summer months bring noticeably more activity. Restaurants and pharmacies lie within 2 km, and two health centres serve the district. For shopping and services, most residents use a car; the train station at Fuengirola is 3.7 km away as the crow flies. Golf is a defining feature of the surroundings: three courses, Los Lagos, Cerrado del Águila and Los Olivos, lie within 1.6 km. The gradient from the urbanisation to the sea is a flat 1.1%, so cycling and walking to the coast are realistic options. Out of season, the area quiets down considerably, which suits residents who prefer a slower winter rhythm while still having Fuengirola's facilities within a short drive.
Riviera del Sol functions as a residential hub on Mijas Costa, positioned between the larger centres of Fuengirola and Marbella. Within a 2 km radius, the area offers five restaurants, two pharmacies, two health centres and a set of sports facilities, including Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km and Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km. Education is covered by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the broader district. Public transport consists of four lines with 50 stops, giving limited but usable connectivity along the coast; the train connection at Fuengirola station, 3.7 km away as the crow flies, links to the regional network towards Málaga. For motorists, the A-7 and AP-7 corridors lie close, putting Marbella 16 km and Málaga city 35 km away in direct distance. Housing market activity is substantial, with around 3,800 transactions per year in the area, indicating an active resale and rental market. The elevation of 45 m above sea level keeps the area low-lying, and the 1.1% gradient to the coast means no steep walks between home and beach.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central section of Mijas Costa, roughly equidistant in practical terms between Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella 16 km to the south-west. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 35 km away as the crow flies and provides the main urban, cultural and airport functions. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, serves as the nearest large centre for shopping, healthcare and dining. Within this regional frame, the location offers a middle position: closer to everyday coastal amenities than inland alternatives, while remaining outside the densest tourist zones of Fuengirola and Marbella themselves.
The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie 3.8 km away in a straight line, with the actual road distance somewhat longer. Two marinas are within reach: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km, both as the crow flies. Golfers have Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila at 1.6 km and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 21 km away in direct distance, making air travel connections straightforward; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 75 km. Train stations at Fuengirola (3.7 km), Carvajal (7.2 km) and Torremuelle (10.0 km) provide rail access along the coast. An electric vehicle charging point, the Fuengirola Supercharger, sits 7.7 km away. A car is the most practical means of daily transport despite the bus lines available.

The climate data places this location firmly in the Mediterranean comfort zone: an average annual temperature of 18.6 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 14 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season extends to five months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20 °C. At 45 m above sea level, the apartment sits low enough to avoid hillside exposure while retaining its sea view from the terrace. The terrain towards the coast is flat, with a 1.1% gradient, so the surrounding landscape suits walking and cycling. The orientation of the terrace towards the south-west aligns with the strongest sun hours of the day, meaning the outdoor space is warm in the evening, something to consider for those sensitive to afternoon heat, and an advantage for those who enjoy late-day sun. Rainfall is modest and concentrated outside the summer months, consistent with the wider Costa del Sol pattern.

Coastal recreation is anchored by the beaches at 3.8 km straight-line distance: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all part of the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and La Cala. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the start of a coastal walking route popular with residents. For water-based leisure, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km) offer marina facilities, dining and boat access. Golf is the strongest recreational asset near the property, with three courses within 1.6 km, Campo Los Lagos being the closest at 1.1 km. Padel and racket sports are covered by Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila and Raquetas de Mijas, plus the larger Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km with broader sports infrastructure. This combination means daily recreation can be varied without long journeys, whether on foot to the communal pool or by car to the beach.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies the resale segment rather than the new-build segment. The fixed price of €375,000 for 93 m² with three bedrooms places it above the entry prices of regional new-build alternatives: Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those figures, however, are starting prices for smaller units in developments still under construction, meaning buyers trade waiting time and specification uncertainty for a lower entry point. This property instead offers immediacy: a completed home, partly furnished, with an established urbanisation and functioning communal facilities. Locationally, Riviera del Sol differs from Torre del Mar and Estepona by sitting in the central Mijas Costa corridor, roughly 16 km from Marbella and about 21 km from Málaga airport in direct distance, closer to the airport than either eastern option. The immediate surroundings are defined by golf, with three courses within 1.6 km, and by flat terrain leading to the beaches at 3.8 km. Market activity in the area is significant, with around 3,800 housing transactions per year, which supports liquidity for future resale. Buyers comparing this property against new builds should weigh the 1992 construction year and communal parking arrangement against the advantage of a sea-view terrace and a move-in-ready state. The comparison ultimately comes down to preference for immediate coastal living in an established setting versus developer-delivered specification on the region's outer edges.
