This key-ready penthouse is situated in the Hollywood Hills development in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2008 and recently renovated, the property offers 80 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A south-facing orientation and extensive terraces with panoramic sea views define the outdoor living space, which includes a private jacuzzi. The urbanisation provides a communal pool, communal gardens, a lift, underground parking and a garage. The asking price is fixed at €490,000, with furniture available by negotiation.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits in the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella, roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The penthouse occupies an elevated, peaceful position with quick access to the A-7 coastal motorway. Beaches, golf courses and the amenities of La Cala de Mijas are all within a short drive.
The property combines a bright open-plan living and dining area with a fully fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and an en-suite master bathroom. Marble flooring, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and a storage room cover daily practical needs. The large terraces extend the usable living space outdoors and hold a private jacuzzi.
This is a resale property, not a new-build development. Construction was completed in 2008, and the home has since been fully renovated and is delivered key-ready. That means no waiting period: the buyer can take occupancy immediately after completion of the purchase process, subject to the usual administrative steps.
The property does not offer a private pool or private garden; both facilities are communal. There are two bedrooms across 80 m² of living space, which limits capacity for larger households. Furniture is optional rather than included by default. The nearest beach lies approximately 3.8 km away as the crow flies, so the sea is not within walking distance.
This property fits a buyer who values outdoor space and views over interior square metres. A couple seeking a second home on the Costa del Sol will find the two-bedroom layout, en-suite master bathroom and terrace with jacuzzi directly suited to holiday use, while the key-ready condition removes any construction or delivery uncertainty. It also suits permanent residents who want a manageable home in a quiet, elevated position but still within short driving distance of full amenities. The presence of schools and health centres nearby makes the location workable beyond the tourist season, which matters for those relocating rather than holidaying. Air conditioning, a lift, underground parking and a storage room address the practical requirements of year-round living. Buyers prioritising walk-to-beach living should note the distance of roughly 3.8 km to the coast; this is a home for someone happy to drive or cycle to the sea. Equally, households needing three or more bedrooms will find the footprint limited. For a golfer, the proximity of three courses within about 2 km straight-line distance is a genuine functional advantage. Finally, an investor targeting rental demand in a consolidated coastal urbanisation can rely on the combination of sea views, terraces and parking, though any yield assessment lies outside the scope of this description.
The property was completed in 2008 and has undergone a recent renovation, which is visible in the current interior arrangement: an open-plan living and dining zone with a modern, fully fitted kitchen, and two bathrooms, one en-suite to the master bedroom. Marble flooring runs through the home, a material typical of quality Spanish construction of that period and valued for its durability and cool feel in warm months. Fixed finishes include fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and air conditioning for climate control, relevant given summer temperatures in the region. A storage room adds practical capacity that apartments of this size often lack, and the lift ensures level access to the penthouse level, a meaningful feature at this height in the building. The outdoor areas form the most distinctive element of the finishing package. The terraces are exceptionally large relative to the 80 m² interior and are equipped with a private jacuzzi, with a south-facing orientation that maximises sun exposure throughout the day. Sea and panoramic views are present from both the living area and the terraces. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and landscaped communal gardens maintained by the community. Parking is arranged underground, with both an underground parking space and a garage. Furniture is optional, giving the buyer flexibility to either acquire the existing furnishing or furnish independently. Overall, the technical and material package aligns with a well-maintained, renovated resale property rather than a new-build specification.
The asking price is fixed at €490,000. This concerns an existing, key-ready resale home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so no unit variation applies. The price reflects a recently renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 80 m² with extensive terraces, sea views, a private jacuzzi, underground parking and a garage space. Furniture is optional and can be negotiated separately. For regional context, new-build projects in comparable coastal zones currently start at roughly €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though those figures concern apartments of a different type and phase rather than penthouses with terracing of this scale.
Daily life in this penthouse revolves around the contrast between a compact, efficiently planned interior and unusually generous outdoor space. The 80 m² interior is arranged around an open-plan living and dining area with a modern kitchen, with two bedrooms including an en-suite master. The real extension of the home is the terracing: south-facing, with panoramic sea views, and equipped with a private jacuzzi, these outdoor areas function as additional living rooms for most of the year given the regional climate. The rhythm of the area is residential rather than resort-like. Riviera del Sol is a consolidated urbanisation on the Mijas Costa, popular with both permanent residents and second-home owners. Within roughly 2 km there are several restaurants and pharmacies; two health centres serve the wider locality, and the area counts fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools, indicating a year-round community rather than a purely seasonal one. A car is the practical mode of transport here. The A-7 provides direct connections towards Fuengirola, some 3.7 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella at 16 km. Golf courses lie notably close: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km and Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 km straight-line distance. Beaches such as Playa del Castillo sit about 3.8 km away, an easy drive but not a walk. Public transport exists, with four lines and around fifty stops in the area, which adds flexibility for those who prefer not to drive every day. The setting is elevated and quiet, with the lift and underground parking smoothing the practical side of daily comings and goings.
Riviera del Sol forms part of the Mijas Costa, a stretch of coastline between Fuengirola and Marbella characterised by residential urbanisations, golf courses and a mix of permanent and seasonal residents. The penthouse stands in an elevated, quiet part of the Hollywood Hills development, which reduces through-traffic and noise while keeping amenities within easy reach. Within approximately 2 km there are five restaurants and two pharmacies. Two health centres serve the locality, and the educational infrastructure, fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools, points to an established family population. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, with ten hotels and around 2,131 beds, which keeps the area busier in summer but functional all year. Distances to key destinations are measured here as straight-line kilometres. Fuengirola lies 3.7 km away and offers a train station connecting towards Málaga, with further stations at Carvajal (7.2 km) and Torremuelle (10.0 km). Marbella is 16 km away and Málaga city 35 km. Public transport in the immediate area consists of four lines and roughly fifty stops, workable for local trips, though a car remains the most practical option. Access to the A-7 places both coastal directions within a short drive.
The map shows the penthouse in its elevated position within Riviera del Sol, between the coastal strip of Mijas Costa and the hills towards Las Lagunas. Note how the three golf courses cluster within about 2 km, while the beaches and Fuengirola's train station lie a few minutes' drive east. Marbella sits clearly to the west along the A-7 corridor.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol, roughly midway between Fuengirola (3.7 km straight-line) and Marbella (16 km). Málaga city and its airport lie 35 km and 21 km away respectively. This placement gives the location two urban poles within easy reach: the more everyday, family-oriented offer of Fuengirola and the premium retail, dining and marina scene of Marbella and Puerto Banús. The setting is residential and golf-oriented, quieter than the beachfront strips, which characterises much of the Mijas Costa housing stock.
The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie about 3.8 km away as the crow flies, reachable within a few minutes by car. Marinas sit at 4.3 km (Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola) and 9.1 km (Puerto Cabopino). Golf is the closest leisure category: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km straight-line distance. Air travel is well served. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies roughly 21 km away as the crow flies, making arrivals and departures straightforward; Gibraltar airport is an alternative at about 75 km. The Fuengirola train station at 3.7 km provides a rail link along the coast towards the provincial capital. By road, the A-7 connects directly to Fuengirola and Marbella, while the AP-7 toll motorway offers a faster alternative for longer journeys. Sports facilities nearby include Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) and Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km); a Tesla Supercharger in Fuengirola (7.7 km) covers electric vehicle charging needs.

The location lies at 45 metres above sea level on terrain with a gradient of only 1.1 per cent towards the beach, effectively flat walking and cycling conditions in the immediate vicinity, despite the elevated feel of the urbanisation itself. The Mediterranean climate produces average monthly temperatures between 14°C and 26°C, with an annual average of 18.6°C. Winters are mild and summers warm, and the swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above. For residents, this climate pattern means outdoor terrace use from spring through autumn, an active golf and padel season for most of the year, and limited need for heating in winter, complemented by the property's air conditioning for the warmest months. The inland hills of Mijas form the green backdrop behind the coastal strip, while the Mirador at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers a nearby viewpoint over the coastline.

The nearest beaches around Playa del Castillo and Playa El Chaparral lie about 3.8 km away in a straight line and form part of the sandy Mijas Costa shoreline. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km offer marina facilities, dining and boat trips. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of this location. Three courses sit within roughly 2 km: Campo Los Lagos (1.1 km), Cerrado del Aguila Golf (1.6 km) and Campo Los Olivos (1.6 km), measured as the crow flies. Racket sports are covered by Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km and Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km, while the municipal sports complex Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas lies 2.4 km away. The area's tourism profile, ten hotels and some 2,131 beds, supports a steady offering of restaurants and services through the season without the density of a large resort town. For walks and views, the Mirador at La Cala de Mijas (3.9 km) is the closest scenic spot, with the coastal promenade of La Cala a short drive beyond.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this penthouse occupies a specific niche: renovated resale stock with large terraces in a consolidated Mijas Costa urbanisation. New-build alternatives elsewhere on the coast illustrate the price context. Aquamar in Torre del Mar, on the eastern side of Málaga province, starts from €269,950; Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000; and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000. Those figures concern new construction with price lists, whereas this property carries a fixed asking price of €490,000 for a key-ready, already renovated home, a different product category. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits between the more affordable, family-oriented Fuengirola basin and the premium Marbella market, 16 km to the west. Compared with Torre del Mar, it lies considerably closer to Málaga airport (roughly 21 km straight-line versus a substantially longer haul along the eastern coast), and compared with Estepona it benefits from a more central position between Marbella and Fuengirola. The immediate environment is golf-heavy, with three courses within about 2 km, something the eastern Costa del Sol offers far less densely. For buyers weighing new build against resale, the trade-offs are straightforward: new-build projects offer modern specifications and communal facilities but involve delivery timelines and, at these price points, generally smaller units or more inland positions. This penthouse offers immediate availability, an unusually large terrace area with sea views, and a renovation already completed, at the cost of a 2008 construction date. The provincial context of roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year indicates an active resale market, which is relevant for anyone considering future liquidity.
