A key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner penthouse in the Eden Golf urbanisation at Riviera del Sol, Mijas Costa. Built in 2004 and offered at a fixed asking price of €329,000, the property provides 69 m² of living space on a single level with lift access, plus a 103 m² wraparound terrace with sea views. An underground parking space and private storage room are included. The community offers two communal swimming pools and a padel court, and the location sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, roughly 3.8 km from the nearest beaches as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands in Eden Golf, a residential urbanisation within Riviera del Sol on Mijas Costa. Marbella lies approximately 16 km away in a straight line and Málaga around 35 km. Fuengirola train station is about 3.7 km distant, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport roughly 21 km as the crow flies. Golf courses sit within 1.1–1.6 km of the complex.
The home is arranged entirely on one level with lift access, comprising two bedrooms, the master with en-suite bathroom and sea views, and a second bathroom. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. The dominant living space is the 103 m² wraparound terrace, oriented south, which functions as an outdoor extension of the 69 m² interior.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 2004 and described as key-ready. Air conditioning is pre-installed with hot and cold functions. The community has recently been fully repainted and plans are in progress to renovate one swimming pool and install solar panels for the urbanisation. These dates and plans are indicative.
The property does not offer a private pool, private garden or a garage built into the home itself; parking is an underground space within the community. The living area is compact at 69 m², with the terrace providing the additional outdoor space. The nearest beach is roughly 3.8 km away in a straight line, so the sea is visible but not within walking distance.
This penthouse fits a buyer who values outdoor space above interior square metres: 103 m² of terrace against 69 m² of living area is an unusual ratio, suited to people who intend to live largely outside during the warmer months. It suits a couple or small family seeking a low-maintenance, single-level home with lift access, relevant for those planning longer-term residence rather than a holiday-only purchase. The master bedroom with en-suite and sea views, plus a second bathroom, accommodates guests without shared facilities. Buyers wanting to walk to the beach should note the roughly 3.8 km straight-line distance; the property works better for those happy to drive five minutes to the coast. It also suits golf players, with three courses within 1.6 km. As an existing 2004 building, it appeals to buyers who prefer to see and inspect the finished product rather than purchase off-plan, and who accept pre-installed air conditioning and a recently maintained community rather than brand-new construction standards. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a private pool, a large interior, or a seafront location within walking distance of sand and promenade.
The building dates from 2004, which places it in the era of mature Costa del Sol apartment construction: concrete-frame construction, rendered facades and communal garden zones typical of urbanisations of that period. The condition is described as good, and the community has recently undergone full repainting, a useful indicator of active management and collected community fees. Inside, the property has fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom and a separate second bathroom. Air conditioning is pre-installed, covering both hot and cold functions, which is the standard ducted or split provision common to this generation of building. The corner position and single-level layout with lift access are practical features for long-term occupancy. Buyers should note what the specification does not include: no private pool, and no mention of updated thermal insulation, modern glazing or a fitted kitchen renewal within the provided data. The planned community investments, renovation of one swimming pool and installation of solar panels for the urbanisation, signal forward maintenance, though timelines for such works are indicative and depend on community decision-making. An independent technical survey remains the appropriate step to verify the 2004 construction condition, installation safety and any community liabilities before purchase.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €329,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build development, so no phased price list applies. The price includes an underground parking space and a private storage room. Community fees are €146.61 per month and include water. Buyers should budget separately for annual property tax (IBI) and rubbish collection. As context, comparable new-build projects in the region currently start at approximately €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, though those figures reflect different property types and locations.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around the contrast between a compact interior and an unusually large outdoor terrace. The 69 m² interior contains a living room with sea views, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, all on one level and reached by lift. The 103 m² wraparound terrace, facing south, effectively doubles the usable living area for much of the year: with average monthly temperatures between 14°C and 26°C, outdoor dining and relaxation are practical from spring through autumn. The urbanisation itself is residential in character, with two communal swimming pools and a padel court on site. The immediate surroundings include a small number of restaurants and pharmacies within 2 km, while broader shopping and services are found in Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas. A car is the practical mode of transport here: the beach lies about 3.8 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest train station around 3.7 km. Four public transport lines and 50 stops serve the wider area, which softens, but does not remove, car dependence. The area has a mixed profile of permanent residents and international owners, meaning the neighbourhood remains active outside the summer season, with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year recorded locally indicating a functioning, liquid market rather than a purely seasonal resort.
Riviera del Sol occupies the coastal strip of Mijas Costa between Fuengirola and Marbella. The immediate environment within 2 km includes five restaurants and two pharmacies, with two health centres in the wider area. Educational provision is substantial for a coastal zone: 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, indicating a settled, year-round population rather than a purely holiday resort. Tourism infrastructure exists, 10 hotels with 2,131 beds, but at a moderate scale that keeps the area quieter than central Fuengirola or Marbella old town. Sports facilities are a defining feature: 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. Three golf courses lie within 1.6 km. The Fuengirola Supercharger for electric vehicles sits 7.7 km away. Elevation is 45 m above sea level with a 1.1% gradient to the coast, so the terrain is essentially flat, simplifying walking and cycling locally even if the beach itself is a short drive.
The map shows Eden Golf within Riviera del Sol, on the flat coastal plain of Mijas Costa at 45 m elevation. Note the cluster of three golf courses within 1.6 km, the beach line at roughly 3.8 km, and Fuengirola station connecting the area towards Málaga and the airport.

Riviera del Sol sits centrally on the western Costa del Sol, in the Mijas Costa municipality. Fuengirola, with its rail link and full urban services, begins roughly 4 km to the east; Marbella lies 16 km west; and Málaga city and its airport are 35 km and 21 km away respectively. This positions the property in the mid-section of the coast, closer to the airport than Marbella proper while retaining access to both towns. Algeciras, at 78 km, marks the far edge of practical day-trip range towards Cádiz province.
The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie about 3.8 km away in a straight line, with actual road distances somewhat longer. Two marinas are within reach: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 21 km as the crow flies, making transfer times short; Gibraltar airport is about 75 km away. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station (3.7 km straight line), with Carvajal at 7.2 km, connecting to the Cercanías line towards Málaga. Locally, four public transport lines with 50 stops serve the district, which covers day-to-day travel, though a car remains the practical choice for beach trips, shopping and airport runs. Marbella at 16 km and Málaga at 35 km bracket the location within a 20–40 minute driving range.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal profile: average monthly 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, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly May through October. At 45 m elevation on a 1.1% gradient, the terrain is flat, with no hillside access issues that affect many Costa del Sol locations. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the nearest scenic outlook along the coast. The south-facing orientation of the penthouse terrace aligns with the sun path, maximising daylight hours in winter while requiring shading strategy in July and August, when midday temperatures are at their annual peak.

Three beaches sit within about 3.8 km of the property: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all on the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella. For boat-based leisure, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km) offer marina facilities. Golf is the strongest recreational asset nearby: 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 two-minute drive. Padel and racket sports are covered by Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km), Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km) and the municipal Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas (2.4 km). The padel court inside the Eden Golf urbanisation itself adds an on-site option for residents.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this penthouse competes on a different basis than nearby new-build projects. 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 are off-plan or recent-construction developments, where the from-price typically reflects the smallest unit type; actual configurations comparable to a two-bedroom penthouse often price considerably higher. At €329,000 as a fixed price, this property offers a completed, inspectable home with parking and storage included, plus a 103 m² terrace, an outdoor area rarely matched at this price point in new-build lists, where large terraces usually carry a premium. The trade-off is construction vintage: a 2004 building will not match current build regulations, energy standards or specification of 2024-era developments, and buyers should weigh that against the certainty of a finished product and immediate availability. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits between the higher-priced Marbella corridor to the west and the more value-oriented Fuengirola and Mijas Costa zones to the east. Local market liquidity appears sound, with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year recorded in the area, a relevant factor for buyers considering eventual resale. For buyers prioritising outdoor space, golf proximity and immediate occupancy over new-build finishes, the proposition is competitive; for those wanting modern construction standards or a walk-to-beach address, alternatives closer to the coast or in the referenced new-build projects may fit better.
