A renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the Island of Riviera Golf complex in Riviera del Sol, centrally located between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property measures 65 m² of living space and includes a south-facing terrace of approximately 60 m² with sea views, plus private parking. Built in 2006 and delivered key-ready, it carries an approved tourist rental licence. The complex offers two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, a gym, tennis and padel courts, and an on-site restaurant. The asking price is €349,000 as a fixed price for this existing home.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a residential area in the municipality of Mijas, positioned roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.8 km away in a straight line, with a flat gradient of 1.1%. Fuengirola's train station is 3.7 km away, connecting the coastal strip to Málaga city and the airport.
The apartment combines three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with an open-plan kitchen and a large south-facing terrace. Air conditioning and central heating regulate the indoor climate year-round. Wood flooring, a lift, and private parking address daily practical needs. Communal facilities, including pools and sports courts, are available within the complex without leaving the grounds.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006 and described as key-ready. The interior has been renovated and is in good condition. Delivery can take place directly after purchase; there is no construction phase or waiting period. The property is sold unfurnished, allowing the buyer to arrange the interior independently.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming facilities are communal. It is offered unfurnished. The living area of 65 m² is compact relative to a three-bedroom layout, with much of the usable outdoor space provided by the terrace. No energy performance data or storage details are stated in the available documentation, and specific renovation dates are not specified.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a holiday home with sports facilities on site, padel, tennis, gym, and both outdoor and indoor pools, will find the complex set up for year-round use rather than seasonal visits. The south-facing terrace and sea views support a lifestyle centred on outdoor living. For buyers focused on rental income, the approved tourist licence is a concrete, verified attribute rather than an assumption, and the Riviera del Sol area's tourism profile, with ten hotels and around 2,131 beds nearby, indicates established demand. It also suits buyers who want the interior finished their own way, since the apartment is sold unfurnished but renovated. A car is practical here: the beach at 3.8 km and the train station at 3.7 km are reachable by road, but daily errands are more convenient with private parking already in place. It fits less well for buyers requiring a large interior footprint, the 65 m² living area is compact for three bedrooms, or for those wanting a private pool, since swimming facilities are communal. Buyers prioritising walkable beach access should also note the distance and verify road connections. In short, the property addresses the buyer who values amenities, rental flexibility, and outdoor space over interior square metres.
The apartment has been fully renovated, according to the seller's documentation, and is presented in good condition. The interior features wood flooring, visible in the property photographs alongside modern kitchen cabinetry and a bedroom with a large window. The kitchen is open-plan and integrated with the dining and living area, a layout that suits the compact floor plan by keeping the main space unbroken. Climate control is covered on two fronts: air conditioning for warm months and central heating for the cooler season, a combination that supports year-round occupancy, which is not standard in all coastal apartments in this segment. The two full bathrooms avoid the scheduling constraints of a single-bathroom layout for a three-bedroom unit. As an existing building from 2006, the construction is conventional Spanish residential build of that period; no specific technical file, warranty, or energy performance data is included in the available documentation, so a technical survey before purchase is the standard recommendation. The complex infrastructure is established rather than new: pools, a heated indoor pool, a gym, tennis and padel courts, and a lift. A lift is a relevant practical feature in a resort-style complex, affecting both daily convenience and future accessibility. The terrace of approximately 60 m² exceeds the interior living area, finished as an outdoor lounge space according to the images. The property is sold unfurnished, so the finishing level of the delivered state excludes furniture, curtains, and appliances unless separately agreed.
The asking price is €349,000, fixed for this existing home rather than presented as a starting price. The property is available for direct transfer, as it is completed and key-ready. There is no price list or unit variation, since this concerns a single apartment with a defined layout: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 65 m² of living area, a terrace of roughly 60 m², and private parking. Purchase costs on top of the asking price in Spain typically include transfer tax, notary, and registry fees, which the buyer should budget separately. Community fees for the complex apply and should be confirmed during the purchase process, given the extensive shared facilities.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the combination of indoor and outdoor space. The 65 m² interior is arranged with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living area with an open-plan kitchen, while the approximately 60 m² south-facing terrace effectively doubles the usable footprint for most of the year. South orientation means the terrace receives sun through the middle of the day, which in a climate averaging 18.6°C annually extends outdoor living well beyond the summer months. The surrounding area is residential and established, with five restaurants and two pharmacies within 2 km. The complex itself functions almost as a small resort: two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool for cooler months, a gym, tennis and padel courts, and a year-round restaurant. This matters practically in winter, when many coastal facilities close, because the core amenities here remain available. The nearest beach lies 3.8 km away as the crow flies, so beach visits are a short drive rather than a walk. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate surroundings, with three courses within 1.6 km. The approved tourist rental licence adds a second use case: the property can be let to holiday guests legally, which influences how the community is composed, with a mix of permanent residents and short-term visitors across the seasons.
The immediate surroundings of Riviera del Sol are residential and fairly quiet, defined by golf courses and low-rise urbanisations rather than high-density tourism. Within 2 km there are five restaurants and two pharmacies, covering basic daily needs, while a wider selection sits in Fuengirola, 3.7 km away as the crow flies. Two health centres serve the area, and education is well represented with fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools in the wider district, which matters for buyers considering longer stays with children. 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. Public transport consists of four lines with fifty stops in the area, offering a baseline of connectivity, though a car remains the practical mode for most residents, and private parking is included with this property. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.8 km away in a straight line, with the route essentially flat at a 1.1% gradient. Marbella is 16 km away and Málaga 35 km, both measured as the crow flies, placing the property between the two anchors of the western Costa del Sol. The area records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active local property market with regular resale activity.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, in the Mijas municipality, roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga as the crow flies, with Fuengirola's urban centre and station under 4 km away. This places the property in the band between the higher-priced Marbella market and the more volume-driven Fuengirola area. The location combines proximity to three golf courses with practical transport links to both city anchors and the airport, positioning it as a residential zone with year-round occupancy rather than a purely seasonal resort strip.
Accessibility is one of this location's practical strengths. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies about 21 km away in a straight line, a short transfer for international arrivals, while Gibraltar airport is roughly 75 km away as an alternative for certain routes. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station, 3.7 km away, with Carvajal at 7.2 km; the Cercanías line connects to Málaga city and the airport, giving a car-free option for occasional trips. By road, the A-7 and AP-7 corridor links Riviera del Sol to Marbella, 16 km away, and Fuengirola in the other direction, both measured in a straight line. Beaches at Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati, and Playa El Chaparral all lie about 3.8 km away. Two marinas fall within reach: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km. Golf courses are notably close, with Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 km, and Campo Los Olivos also at 1.6 km. An electric vehicle charger, the Fuengirola Supercharger, is 7.7 km away. All distances are straight-line; actual road distances are longer.

The climate data indicates a typical western Costa del Sol profile: average monthly temperatures ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.6°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months. The elevation is 45 m above sea level, low enough that the terrain towards the beach is effectively flat, with a measured gradient of 1.1%, so cycling and walking in the immediate area involve little incline. The south-facing orientation of the terrace aligns with the sun's path, giving midday and afternoon sun for most of the year. Rainfall in this part of Andalusia is modest and concentrated outside the summer months, which supports the year-round use of the complex's outdoor facilities. The nearby viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers an accessible outlook over the coastline for those who enjoy walking routes with a destination.

Beach access from Riviera del Sol runs through several options at roughly the same distance: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati, and Playa El Chaparral all lie about 3.8 km away in a straight line, approximately a five to ten minute drive. These are among the more familiar beaches of the Mijas coast, with chiringuitos and facilities typical of the area. Recreation beyond the beach is strongly golf-oriented: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 km, and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km place three courses within a short radius, several of them walkable or a two-minute drive. Padel and tennis players can use Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km and Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km, in addition to the courts inside the complex itself. For days out, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km offer marina environments with dining and boat trips. The complex's own heated indoor pool extends swimming beyond the five-month sea season, a practical point for residents present in winter.
