This 28,365 m² development site is located in Riviera del Sol, Málaga, offering potential for up to 81 residential units. With a permitted height of two stories (PB + 1) and a buildability ratio of 0.40 m²/m², the land is zoned for residential development (AIS 2). The site sits at approximately 131 meters above sea level, providing elevation and visibility towards the coast. The plot is build-ready and holds the necessary urban classification for developing a residential community.
Compared to Arosa (from €490k) or Waterfall Residences (from €720k), this plot offers a land-value opportunity. It targets developers rather than end-users. The €7.37M price point reflects commercial scale, contrasting with the unit prices of completed projects in Fuengirola or Mijas.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Riviera del Sol, a suburban district within the municipality of Mijas. The location is elevated relative to the coastline, offering views over the surroundings. Essential amenities, including supermarkets and dining, are within a short distance. The A-7 motorway, connecting Marbella and Málaga, provides direct access to the Costa del Sol.
The urban planning allows for a maximum occupancy of 35%, ensuring that a significant portion of the site remains for open spaces and landscaping. This type of development focuses on creating a residential community. Regulations require a minimum distance of 7 meters between building groups and a minimum facade width of 10 meters, contributing to a spacious environment.
The plot is classified as 'ready to build'. The specifications dictate a maximum grouping length of 60 meters, which will influence the architectural layout of the future homes. The development must adhere to 'AIS 2' (Aislado Singular) regulations, indicating a specific status within the urban structure of the zone.
This project concerns land only; no buildings exist. There is no direct beach access; the nearest beaches are 2.0 km away. The maximum building height is restricted to two levels (ground floor plus one), excluding the possibility of high-rise developments.
This plot fits a developer seeking 'build-ready' land with a maximum footprint of 11,346 m² in an established neighborhood. The price and scale indicate a commercial real estate development. It suits entities targeting the middle-market housing demand along the Costa del Sol, specifically near golf amenities. It is not suitable for individuals seeking a single home.
As a land purchase, no interior finishes apply. The quality of the future environment is defined by urban regulations: minimum facade width of 10 m and 7 m gaps between groups ensure spatial separation. The 3 m boundary setback ensures privacy. The final quality depends on the developer's material choices.
The asking price is €7,374,000 for the entire plot. This represents a large-scale investment opportunity for developers. The price per square meter of land is approximately €260, excluding construction costs. If the maximum of 81 units is realized, the land cost per unit is approximately €91,000. Market value of finished units will depend on build quality and positioning.
Riviera del Sol functions as a practical residential area with a clear separation between the elevated living quarters and the tourist beach zones below. Future residents will find a 'live-and-let-live' atmosphere where daily amenities are accessible locally. The reality of living here involves utilizing the proximity to golf courses like Cabopino and El Soto, while having the broader commercial hubs of Marbella and Fuengirola a short drive away. The area maintains year-round activity, supported by local schools and permanent residents, avoiding the 'ghost town' effect seen in some seasonal resorts.
The environment is defined by convenience. Essential services like pharmacies (1.6 km) and supermarkets (1.2 km) are close. The area features a high density of sports facilities, including three golf courses within 3.2 km. Infrastructure supports permanent living, with numerous schools and medical centers nearby.
The map highlights the elevated position relative to the coast and A-7 motorway. The surroundings consist of residential areas and golf courses like Club del Sol and La Siesta Golf Club.
Riviera del Sol lies centrally between Fuengirola and Marbella. It serves as a suburban residential hub for those working in these cities. Its location in Málaga province, near the Marbella border, offers access to international schools in Fuengirola and luxury amenities in Marbella.
Access is via local roads connecting to the A-7. Málaga Airport is 26 km away (approx. 20-25 mins drive). The nearest beach (Playa de Calahonda) is 2.0 km linear distance. Due to the 6.6% slope and elevation, driving distance is longer. Public transport is available but a car is recommended.
