A recently renovated three-bedroom townhouse in the gated Tropical Hill community of Riviera del Sol, on the Mijas Costa. The property measures 176 m² and is arranged over three levels plus a rooftop solarium, with sea views, two parking spaces directly in front of the house, and four bathrooms including an en-suite for each bedroom. The asking price is fixed at €595,000 and the home is key-ready, having been completed in 2008 and modernised since. Residents share a communal swimming pool, gym and sauna, while three golf courses and the beaches of the Costa del Sol lie within a short drive.
At €595,000 for a renovated 176 m² townhouse with four bathrooms and a solarium, this property prices at roughly €3,380 per square metre. Set against new-build alternatives in the region, the comparison needs care: Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, but those are base prices for off-plan units, typically smaller apartments without renovation, furnishings or immediate occupancy. This property's fixed price includes a completed renovation, full furnishing and two parking spaces, which shifts part of the comparison from purchase price to total move-in cost. Locationally, Riviera del Sol competes with the central Mijas Costa belt. Its strengths are proximity, three golf courses within 1.6 km, beaches at 3.8 km, Fuengirola station at 3.7 km and Málaga airport at roughly 21 km as the crow flies, and a residential character that sits between Fuengirola's density and Marbella's price level, 16 km down the coast. Buyers considering Estepona gain a more western position closer to Gibraltar (75 km from here either way) but face longer airport transfer times; Torre del Mar, at the eastern end, offers lower entry prices but fewer golf and marina facilities within a comparable radius. The resale market in the area is active, with around 3,800 housing transactions per year, which supports liquidity for later resale. Against the provincial median income of €16,450, the local market is substantially driven by international and second-home buyers, which is reflected in the urbanisation profile and the provision of furnished, key-ready homes such as this one. For buyers weighing new-build against resale, the trade-off here is immediate availability, renovation already completed and a fixed price, against the warranty terms and modern efficiency standards that new construction carries.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits on the Mijas Costa between Fuengirola and Marbella, roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The nearest beaches, including Playa del Castillo, are 3.8 km away in a straight line, and three golf courses lie within 1.6 km. The area combines residential urbanisations with everyday amenities within a two-kilometre radius.
The house is designed for practical full-time or seasonal living: three bedrooms each with a private bathroom, a guest WC, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning for hot and cold use, a fireplace, and a fully furnished delivery. Outdoor space includes a covered terrace, a private terrace and a rooftop solarium. Two parking spaces sit directly in front of the house.
This is an existing home, completed in 2008 and recently renovated, offered key-ready with a fixed asking price of €595,000. There is no construction phase or waiting period; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and occupancy. Interior finishes visible in the listing photographs include a fitted kitchen with green cabinetry and a modern bathroom with a bathtub.
The property is a townhouse within a gated community rather than a detached villa, and the swimming pool, gym and sauna are communal facilities shared with other residents. There is no private pool, and the plot is not individually landscaped. The beach is 3.8 km away as the crow flies, so it is not within walking distance. Parking consists of two surface spaces in front of the house rather than a closed garage.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A household of three to five people who want separate bathrooms for each bedroom, parents, teenagers, or regular guests, will find the en-suite layout removes the morning congestion common in single-bathroom homes. The same applies to buyers planning extended stays with visiting family, where a guest WC and multiple bathrooms reduce friction. Second-home buyers who want a key-ready property will note that there is no construction risk and no completion date to track: the house was built in 2008 and has since been renovated, and it is sold fully furnished, which shortens the gap between purchase and first use. Golf-oriented buyers are served by three courses within 1.6 km, including Cerrado del Águila Golf and the Los Lagos and Los Olivos courses, making morning rounds a short drive rather than a planned excursion. Buyers prioritising a private pool or a detached plot should look elsewhere, as the pool here is communal and the property is a townhouse. Retirees or part-year residents who prefer low-maintenance outdoor space, a solarium and terraces rather than a large garden, will find the layout matches that requirement. Households relying solely on public transport should note that while four bus lines and fifty stops serve the wider area, daily life in Riviera Sol is more practical with a car, given the 3.8 km distance to the beach and the dispersed layout of amenities.
The property has been recently renovated, and the listing photographs show specific finished interiors: a kitchen with green cabinetry and integrated worktops, a bathroom with a bathtub, mirrored wall and contemporary tiling, and an internal staircase with black railings that sets a modern tone in the circulation space. The bedroom photography shows a room oriented towards the sea view, indicating glazing positioned to capture the outlook. The climate-control installation covers both seasons: air conditioning units provide cold air in summer and hot air in winter, supplemented by a fireplace for the cooler months. In a region where average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer, this combination covers the full year without relying on a single system. Storage is addressed through fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a practical point for a furnished home that may serve both resident and seasonal use. The house is delivered fully furnished, which transfers tables, seating and beds, visible on the rooftop terrace photograph showing a dining area, as part of the purchase. The outdoor finishes include a covered terrace for shaded use, an open private terrace, and a rooftop solarium, giving three distinct external zones with different sun exposure across the day. As a 2008 construction, the building predates current energy-efficiency standards for new builds; buyers focused on that aspect should request the corresponding documentation. Two parking spaces directly in front of the house are included, which is a practical provision for a two-car household or for visitors.
The asking price for this townhouse is fixed at €595,000, this is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list. The price reflects a recently renovated property of 176 m² with four bathrooms, a solarium, sea views and two parking spaces in a gated community with communal facilities. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives in the region will find developments starting from roughly €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though those are base prices for new construction without the same plot position or immediate availability. As a completed home, this property carries no phased payment structure; the purchase follows the standard Spanish resale process. Availability is immediate, subject to the property remaining on the market.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around a layered layout that separates living and sleeping functions across three floors. The lower level, ground floor and upper floor are connected by an internal staircase with black railings, which continues to a rooftop solarium, a space that receives the sun and offers views towards the sea, suitable for outdoor dining or quiet afternoons. The south-west orientation means the terraces capture afternoon and evening light, which shapes how the outdoor space is used through the day. With each bedroom having its own en-suite bathroom, plus a separate guest WC, the layout works for households where several people need independence at the same time, or for hosting guests without sharing facilities. The kitchen, fitted with green cabinetry, functions as a working everyday kitchen rather than a showpiece. The modern bathroom with a bathtub adds a second bathing option alongside the en-suite shower rooms. The Tropical Hill community provides the shared infrastructure: a communal swimming pool for warm months, and a gym and sauna available to residents year-round. The five-month swimming season, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, aligns with how the pool and nearby beaches are typically used. Two parking spaces directly in front of the house simplify daily arrivals and shopping trips. Riviera del Sol itself is a residential urbanisation with restaurants and a pharmacy within two kilometres, so most daily errands require a short drive. The flat terrain towards the coast, with a gradient of just 1.1%, makes walking and cycling in the area undemanding.
Riviera del Sol functions as a residential urbanisation within Mijas Costa, positioned between the larger centres of Fuengirola, whose train station is 3.7 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella at 16 km. Daily needs are covered within a two-kilometre radius: five restaurants and two pharmacies serve the immediate area, while two health centres and a broad educational offering of fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools sit within reach, making the location workable for year-round family living rather than only holiday use. Sporting infrastructure is notably close. Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila lies 1.5 km away and Raquetas de Mijas 2.0 km, with the municipal sports centre Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km. Golfers have three courses within 1.6 km. For EV owners, the Fuengirola Supercharger is 7.7 km away in a straight line. The area sits at 45 metres above sea level with a flat 1.1% gradient to the coast, so the walk or ride towards the beach involves no significant climbing. Tourism is present but moderate, ten hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, which means the area has visitor facilities without the density of a resort town. Around 3,800 housing transactions per year are recorded in the area, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity. Life outside the summer season continues as normal, with local public holidays numbering 32 per year shaping the community calendar.
The map shows the property's position within Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas Costa. Markers indicate the three golf courses within 1.6 km, the beaches at 3.8 km, and the transport links towards Málaga airport, roughly 21 km away as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central stretch of the Mijas Costa, placing it between Fuengirola's urban concentration to the north-east and Marbella 16 km to the south-west. This position gives it a middle character: quieter than Fuengirola's core, more accessible than the estates east of Marbella, and roughly 21 km from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport as the crow flies, closer than most of the western Costa del Sol. The area draws buyers who want coastal proximity with a residential rather than resort atmosphere, and its position between two established towns provides redundancy in services, healthcare and schooling on both sides.
The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, is 3.8 km away as the crow flies, alongside Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral at the same distance, reachable in a few minutes by car, though not on foot. Marbella lies 16 km away and Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, at 35 km in a straight line; actual road distances are longer. Air access is a strong point of this location: Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 21 km away as the crow flies, one of the shorter airport distances on the Costa del Sol. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at approximately 75 km. Rail connections run through the Fuengirola Cercanías line, with stations at Fuengirola (3.7 km), Carvajal (7.2 km) and Torremuelle (10.0 km), all straight-line figures. Local public transport consists of four lines serving fifty stops, covering the coastal corridor. In practice, a car remains the primary mode of transport for most residents: shopping, the beach and the train station all sit beyond comfortable walking distance, and the two parking spaces in front of the house support that pattern. Marinas at Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Cabopino (9.1 km) add boating access.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, a moderate Mediterranean profile without extreme seasonal swings. The swimming season lasts five months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C, roughly May through September, which sets the rhythm for beach and pool use. The property stands at 45 metres above sea level on terrain that slopes gently towards the coast at 1.1%. This elevation is sufficient to open sea views from the upper floor and solarium while keeping the surrounding streets walkable without stairs or steep paths. The south-west orientation of the house means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, favouring sunset-facing outdoor dining; mornings on the solarium are correspondingly lighter in direct heat. Nearby natural landmarks include the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, which frames the coastline from a raised position. The combination of flat coastal terrain, moderate temperatures and long sunshine hours shapes an outdoor-oriented daily routine for much of the year.

Three beaches lie at 3.8 km as the crow flies: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, giving residents a choice of stretches along the Mijas Costa. Each is a short drive away, and the flat approach road makes cycling a realistic alternative. Golf is the strongest recreational feature of this location. Campo Los Lagos sits 1.1 km away, with Cerrado del Águila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both at 1.6 km, three courses within a two-kilometre radius, which is a dense concentration even by Costa del Sol standards. Padel and racket sports are equally well served: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km and Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km. Within the community itself, recreation is built in through the communal swimming pool, gym and sauna, so training or swimming does not depend on leaving the grounds. For coastal outings beyond the beach, the marinas at Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Cabopino (9.1 km) offer waterfront dining and boat access. Tourism infrastructure in the area, ten hotels and roughly 2,131 beds, supports restaurants and services that remain active beyond the summer peak, without turning the district into a seasonal resort zone.
