A key-ready detached villa in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 420 m² of constructed space on a 684 m² plot, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private swimming pool and two garage parking spaces. The villa has been renovated and is south-facing, with panoramic sea views. The fixed asking price is €2,690,000, with furniture and decoration included. Delivery is stated as completed in 2026, although completion dates are always indicative. Riviera del Sol sits at roughly 45 metres above sea level on flat terrain, about 3.8 km from the nearest beach as the crow flies.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a distinct position from the region's new-build offerings. Comparable projects in the available data are considerably cheaper but also fundamentally different in product type: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all apartment-style developments rather than detached villas. At €2,690,000 as a fixed asking price, this property competes instead in the villa segment of the central Costa del Sol, where buyers typically weigh location, plot size and view quality. Its plot of 684 m² is modest by villa standards in, for example, Benahavís or the Marbella Golden Mile, but the location between Fuengirola and Marbella offers practical advantages those areas lack: Fuengirola train station at 3.7 km, three golf courses within 1.6 km, and a flat coastal setting at 45 metres elevation. Torre del Mar, by contrast, lies east of Málaga and involves longer airport transfers, while Estepona is further west and roughly an hour from the airport. For buyers comparing regions, Riviera del Sol's transaction volume of around 3,800 sales per year indicates an active and liquid market, which matters for eventual resale. The median provincial income of €16,450 also signals that this price segment is aimed at international buyers rather than the local market, which is consistent with the area's tourism infrastructure of ten hotels and its mix of year-round and seasonal residents. Thevilla's south-facing orientation and sea views are common selling points on this coast, but the combination of proximity to golf, the train connection at Fuengirola and a finished, renovated condition differentiates it from off-plan alternatives where buyers wait years for delivery.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a residential area within the municipality of Mijas, positioned between Fuengirola and Marbella. The villa lies at low elevation on flat terrain, roughly 3.8 km in a straight line from the beaches of La Cala de Mijas. Marbella is 16 km away as the crow flies, Fuengirola train station 3.7 km, and Málaga Airport approximately 21 km.
The villa accommodates four bedrooms and four bathrooms across 420 m² of constructed space, with a usable living area of 300 m². Practical features include fitted wardrobes, a storage room, two garage parking spaces, a private pool, covered terrace and solarium. Climate control combines air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace, covering both summer and winter use.
This is an existing, newly renovated villa described as key-ready, not an off-plan development. The stated delivery of completed 2026 is indicative. Because the property is finished, buyers can inspect the actual materials and finishes before purchase rather than relying on plans or specifications. Furniture and decoration are included in the asking price.
The property does not offer communal facilities such as a gym or shared gardens; outdoor space is limited to the private plot of 684 m². There is no mention of a lift, underfloor heating or home automation. The nearest beach is 3.8 km away in a straight line, so the villa is not within direct walking distance of the seafront. No information is available regarding community fees or annual property taxes.
This property fits buyers seeking a detached, finished villa with sea views on the central Costa del Sol, within reach of both Marbella and Fuengirola. Situations in which the villa is a plausible option include: a permanent relocation requiring four bedrooms and four bathrooms for a family, with schools available in the area, fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools are recorded in the region; a second home used intensively year-round, where the private pool, south-facing terraces and heating options support use outside the summer months; and a household that receives guests regularly, since the layout and 420 m² of constructed space allow separate use of bedrooms and bathrooms. The property is less obvious for buyers who want to walk to the beach daily; at 3.8 km straight-line, the sea is a short drive or a substantial walk away. It also does not suit buyers seeking new-build community facilities such as a shared gym or communal pools, as outdoor amenities here are private. The price point of €2,690,000 places the villa in the upper segment of the local market, which is relevant for buyers comparing against villas in Marbella or Benahavís. Households relying on public transport will find four bus lines and the Fuengirola train connection, but a car remains the practical basis for daily life. Golf players benefit from three courses within 1.6 km of the property, a proximity that is unusual even along this coast.
The villa has been renovated, and the listing describes high-quality materials and finishes throughout. Observable specifics from the available data include fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a covered terrace, a private terrace, a solarium and a barbecue installation outdoors. Climate control is addressed from three directions: air conditioning for warm months, central heating for winter, and a fireplace for supplementary heat, which together allow year-round occupation. The interior photography shows a modern open-plan living and dining area, an entrance hall with a crystal chandelier, an outdoor lounge terrace and a night-time entrance with stone wall detailing, which is consistent with a recent, contemporary renovation. Two parking spaces with garage access are included, plus a separate storage room. As the villa is key-ready, buyers can verify all finishes, installations and materials during viewings rather than relying on plans. Structural and technical documentation, including the exact age of the building, the scope of the renovation and the condition of the roof and installations, should be requested from the seller. No data is available on energy performance measures such as insulation values, solar panels or heat pumps; the Supercharger location in Fuengirola at 7.7 km indicates electric vehicle charging infrastructure exists in the area, but no charging facility is confirmed at the property itself. Given the plot of 684 m², the outdoor space around the pool and terraces is compact rather than extensive, which is typical for villas this close to the coast at this price level.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €2,690,000, described as negotiable. This is an existing, key-ready property, so the price applies to the finished home rather than to a price list of multiple units. Furniture and decoration are included. In terms of segment, the property sits well above new-build apartment projects in the wider region, where prices start around €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona; those developments concern apartments rather than detached villas with private pools, so a direct comparison is limited. Costs for community fees, IBI and waste collection are not stated in the available data. Buyers should verify these recurring costs, along with the exact completion status, before proceeding. The stated completion in 2026 is indicative.
Daily life at this villa centres on single-level coastal living with strong light exposure. The south-facing orientation means the main living spaces and terraces receive sun throughout the day, which suits both morning use of the terrace and afternoon hours around the private pool. With 300 m² of usable living area across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the layout supports a permanent household as well as extended family visits. The living room connects directly to the outdoor spaces, so the terrace and pool function as an extension of the interior for much of the year, supported by an average annual temperature of 18.6°C. Practical routines are covered by two garage parking spaces and a dedicated storage room. The surrounding area is residential and low-rise, with daily amenities concentrated within a two-kilometre radius: five restaurants and two pharmacies are recorded nearby. Larger shopping and services are found in Fuengirola, about 3.7 km away in a straight line, and in La Cala de Mijas roughly 3.9 km away. A car is the most practical mode of transport here; the coastal train from Fuengirola station connects towards Málaga, and four public transport lines with fifty stops serve the wider area. The area sits at 45 metres elevation with a flat gradient towards the coast, which makes walking and cycling realistic options for fit residents, although the 3.8 km straight-line distance to the beach translates into a longer actual journey. Outside the summer season, Riviera del Sol remains populated year-round, with around 3,800 housing transactions per year in the area indicating an active, established residential market rather than a purely seasonal one.
The immediate surroundings of Riviera del Sol are residential, with amenities concentrated within two kilometres: five restaurants, two pharmacies, two health centres and a modest tourism infrastructure of ten hotels with around 2,131 beds. This scale suggests a neighbourhood that is busy in summer and considerably quieter outside the season. For daily shopping and services, most residents use the commercial areas of Fuengirola, 3.7 km away in a straight line, or La Cala de Mijas at 3.9 km. Education is well represented, with fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools recorded in the area, which is relevant for families considering permanent residence. Sports facilities are notably close: Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila lies 1.5 km away, Raquetas de Mijas 2.0 km and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas 2.4 km. Three golf courses, Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 1.6 km and Campo Los Olivos at 1.6 km, sit within a short drive. The terrain towards the coast is flat with a gradient of 1.1%, and the area lies at 45 metres elevation, which means no steep climbs between the villa and the sea. Transport options include four bus lines with fifty stops in the area, and the railway at Fuengirola station connecting towards Málaga; nonetheless, a car is the standard means of transport for households in this location.
The map shows the villa in Riviera del Sol, west of Fuengirola and east of Marbella on the Málaga coast. Golf courses cluster within 1.6 km, beaches lie 3.8 km south as the crow flies, and the A-7 coastal motorway connects the area to Málaga Airport, about 21 km away in a straight line.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol between Fuengirola (3.7 km to the station) and Marbella (16 km straight-line), within the municipality of Mijas. This places the villa closer to everyday Andalusian coastal life than the resort enclaves further west, while remaining within a short drive of Marbella's amenities. Málaga city, at 35 km, and its airport at roughly 21 km, define the practical reach of the region. Compared with the eastern Costa del Sol around Torre del Mar or inland Mijas developments, the location trades lower prices for centrality between the coast's two main hubs.
Access to the wider region is straightforward. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 21 km away as the crow flies, making flight connections reachable within a short drive for a coastal location; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 75 km. By train, Fuengirola station is 3.7 km away in a straight line, with Carvajal at 7.2 km as an alternative, offering the Cercanías line towards Málaga. The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie 3.8 km away in a straight line, meaning the actual road distance and travel time are longer. Marbella is 16 km away as the crow flies and Málaga city 35 km, positioning the villa between the two. Marinas at Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Cabopino (9.1 km) serve boating interests. Driving is the primary mode of transport; four bus lines with fifty stops provide local public transport coverage, but their frequency and reach are modest compared with the towns themselves. Electric vehicle owners can charge at the Fuengirola Supercharger, 7.7 km away.

The climate data for the area 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. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, roughly May to October. For residents, this means outdoor use of the pool and terraces is realistic for more than half the year, while the fireplace and central heating cover the cooler winter evenings. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, and the southern Spanish coast records high sunshine totals, which pairs with the south-facing orientation of the villa to maximise light in the main living spaces. The location sits at 45 metres above sea level on flat terrain, so there are no significant height differences between the house and the coast. The nearby golf courses and the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas provide green and open spaces within a few kilometres, while the Mijas mountains further inland frame the views to the north, the listing records mountain and country views alongside the sea views.

The nearest beaches are Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all 3.8 km away in a straight line, with the actual journey longer by road. These beaches sit at the La Cala de Mijas end of the coast, a stretch known for its mix of sand and rocky coves. For recreational boating, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is 4.3 km away and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 km; both offer moorings, dining and water sports. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of this location: Campo Los Lagos lies 1.1 km away, with Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both at 1.6 km, giving residents three courses within minutes of the house. Racket sports are equally close, with padel at Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) and Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km), plus the municipal sports facilities of Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km. The private pool and barbecue on the villa plot cover daily outdoor recreation at home. Coastal walking is possible from the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away.
