A detached villa of 385 m² on a 502 m² plot in Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Completed in 2006 and available key-ready, the property offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms plus a guest toilet, a private pool, garage, gym and games room. The asking price is fixed at €1,450,000 and the villa is sold fully furnished. Sea views are present from the main bedroom and terraces. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.8 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol is a residential urbanisation in the municipality of Mijas, positioned roughly 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga in straight line. The setting is defined by golf courses: Campo Los Lagos lies 1.1 km away and Cerrado del Aguila Golf 1.6 km. Fuengirola's train station is 3.7 km distant, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 21 km as the crow flies.
The villa accommodates a larger household or visiting guests, with five bedrooms, three of them en-suite, and a separate guest toilet. Internal leisure space includes a games room and an adjoining gym, plus a storage room and a technical/laundry room. A central patio brings daylight into the core of the house, and the orientation spans east, south and west.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 2006, offered key-ready. Delivery is immediate upon completion of purchase; there is no construction phase or phased handover to take into account. The property is sold fully furnished and described by the seller as being in excellent condition.
The property is a detached villa without communal facilities such as a shared garden or residents' club; leisure amenities are private and internal. The plot is 502 m², which is moderate for a villa of this size. No information is available about energy performance, community fees or annual property taxes in the supplied data. The nearest beach is 3.8 km away, so this is not a beachfront property.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently will find the five bedrooms, three en-suites and proximity to a broad school provision, fifteen primary and ten secondary schools recorded in the wider area, a workable base. A multi-generational household benefits from the en-suite distribution, which allows separate zones within one house. Buyers seeking a holiday home with guest capacity can host visitors without conversion of living space, and the games room and gym reduce dependence on external facilities during peak season. The villa also suits remote workers: one bedroom already functions as an office with views, and the area's transport links, four bus lines and fifty stops locally, plus the Cercanías rail network from Fuengirola 3.7 km away, support occasional commuting or airport trips. Golf players are a natural audience, with three courses within 1.6 km of the front door. The property is less obviously suited to buyers who want to walk to the beach every day; at 3.8 km straight-line, beach visits are realistically a short drive. It is also less fitting for those seeking a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave apartment, since a private pool and terraced plot of this size carry ongoing upkeep. Buyers prioritising brand-new construction with developer warranties should note the 2006 completion date and arrange a standard structural survey.
The villa dates from 2006 and is presented in what the seller describes as excellent condition, sold fully furnished and move-in ready. The interior finish is documented through the feature list and photography rather than specification sheets. Stone flooring runs through the main living areas and into the bedrooms, where fitted wardrobes with mirrored fronts are visible. The kitchen and living space form an open-plan arrangement in a contemporary style. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning serving both hot and cold modes, which in this climate covers winter heating and summer cooling without a separate system. The three en-suite bathrooms plus a fourth full bathroom and guest toilet give the house redundant sanitary capacity, useful for a large household or simultaneous guests. Beyond the primary accommodation, the property includes functional rooms that are often omitted in this segment: a separate storage room, a technical/laundry room, a games room and an adjoining gym. Outdoor construction includes a covered terrace alongside open terraces and a rooftop solarium with sea views. The central patio is a structural feature that shapes daylight distribution in the plan. Buyers should verify the actual condition of installations, pool equipment, boiler, air conditioning units and electrics, through an independent technical survey, which is standard practice for a property of this age. No energy performance certificate details or construction guarantees are included in the available data.
The asking price is a fixed €1,450,000 for the villa in its entirety, including furniture. This is not a price-list development with unit variation; the price applies to one existing home of 385 m² on a 502 m² plot, which works out at roughly €3,767 per m² of built area. As an existing property, there is no developer payment schedule or reservation of off-plan units. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position and standard Spanish purchase procedures. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, transfer tax or, where applicable, VAT and stamp duty, notary and land registry fees, which are not included in the asking price. Interested parties can request current availability and viewing arrangements.
Daily life in this villa revolves around its layered layout and private outdoor space. The ground floor centres on an open-plan kitchen and living area, visible in the property's imagery, with stone flooring running throughout. A central patio sits at the heart of the plan, acting as a light well and a sheltered outdoor room that can be used across most of the year given the regional climate. The five-bedroom configuration means the house works for a permanent family residence, a holiday home with guest capacity, or a household that wants dedicated space for a home office, the photography shows a bedroom in use as an office. Upstairs, the main bedroom has sea views, and the rooftop terrace extends the outdoor living area with panoramic sightlines towards the coast and the mountains behind. Practical routines are well provided for: a garage offers enclosed parking, a storage room absorbs seasonal items, and the technical/laundry room separates household machinery from living space. The games room and gym add a leisure dimension that does not depend on travel or weather. Outside, the private pool and multiple terraces cover the range of Mediterranean outdoor use, morning sun on an east-facing terrace, midday around the pool, and evening dining on the west side. Riviera del Sol itself is an established urbanisation, so the immediate environment is residential rather than rural, with daily shopping reached by car within a few minutes.
Riviera del Sol sits in the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella, a residential zone made up of villas, townhouses and apartment complexes interspersed with golf courses. Within 2 km of the property, the data records five restaurants and two pharmacies, which covers day-to-day needs without leaving the urbanisation; the nearest individual restaurant is listed at about 1 km. Supermarkets and a wider restaurant selection sit roughly 2–3 km away. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, lies 3.8 km in a straight line, a few minutes by car, with an essentially flat gradient of 1.1% between the property and the coast, so cycling is realistic. Fuengirola's marina and town centre are 4.3 and 3.7 km away respectively, providing the nearest dense urban amenities including the train station. Healthcare is available through two health centres in the area, and education through fifteen primary and ten secondary schools. The urbanisation's character is residential rather than touristic, although the wider district carries tourism infrastructure, ten hotels with 2,131 beds, meaning summer months bring noticeably more activity to the coastal strip. Outside the high season, the area quiets considerably. A car is the practical mode of transport here; four public transport lines with fifty stops exist locally, but they complement rather than replace private mobility for daily errands.
The map shows the villa's position in the golf belt of Riviera del Sol, between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas. Note the cluster of golf and padel facilities within 2 km, the rail terminus in Fuengirola, and the coastal beaches roughly 3.8 km to the south.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies a mid-point position on the western Costa del Sol, 16 km from Marbella and 35 km from Málaga city in straight-line terms, with Fuengirola effectively next door at under 4 km. This places the property within reach of two distinct urban economies: Marbella's retail and dining scene to the west and Málaga's cultural and business centre to the east. Algeciras and the Atlantic coast lie 78 km away for occasional crossings to Morocco or trips to Tarifa. Within Mijas municipality, the property competes with a residential stock spanning beachfront apartments in La Cala and hillside villas in Mijas Pueblo; this address sits in the flat golf belt between them.
Accessibility is one of this location's practical strengths. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 21 km away as the crow flies, a drive typically completed in around 25–30 minutes via the A-7, making short European flights straightforward. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 75 km. Beach access is realistic by car: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral all lie 3.8 km straight-line, and the terrain between the villa and the coast is flat. Two marinas serve boating and waterfront dining, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km. Golf is the closest amenity of all: Campo Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both at 1.6 km. Rail travel runs from Fuengirola station, 3.7 km away, connecting along the coast to Málaga city and its María Zambrano interchange. Sports facilities nearby include 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. For electric vehicle owners, the Fuengirola Supercharger sits 7.7 km away.

The property stands at 45 m above sea level on terrain that slopes at just 1.1% towards the coast, effectively flat, which distinguishes it from hillside urbanisations further inland where every trip home involves climbing. The climate data shows monthly average temperatures ranging from 14°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual mean of 18.6°C. This produces mild winters where outdoor terraces remain usable most of the year. The swimming season extends to roughly five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spanning approximately late May to mid-October. The combination of a private pool and a rooftop terrace means outdoor living is not confined to the peak summer window. For nature beyond the coast, the area offers hiking and cycling routes that start practically at the doorstep according to the seller's description, with the La Cala de Mijas viewpoint 3.9 km away for coastal panoramas. The surrounding Mijas Costa landscape mixes golf greens, low residential development and the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, visible from the property as mountain views.

Coastal recreation from this address is centred on the Mijas Costa beaches, all around 3.8 km straight-line: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral. These are sandy family beaches backed by the chiringuito and beach-restaurant culture typical of this stretch of the Costa del Sol. The flat gradient between villa and sea means the journey is a few minutes by car or a manageable bicycle ride. Golf is the dominant nearby recreation, with three courses within 1.6 km, Campo Los Lagos, Cerrado del Aguila Golf and Campo Los Olivos, giving golfing residents effectively a walk or two-minute drive to the first tee. Racket sports are equally well served: padel at Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (1.5 km) and Raquetas de Mijas (2.0 km), plus the municipal sports facilities at Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas (2.4 km). Waterborne leisure operates from Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (4.3 km) and Puerto Cabopino (9.1 km), the latter known for its sheltered anchorage and beach restaurants. Within the property itself, recreation is built in: private pool, games room and gym cover fitness and entertainment without leaving the plot.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a different segment from the new-build comparables recorded nearby. Projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,950) are apartment developments at price points several times below this property's fixed €1,450,000 asking price. The comparison illustrates the structural divide on this coast: new apartment product in the €200,000–€350,000 range versus established detached villas at seven figures. At roughly €3,767 per m² of built area, this villa sits in line with detached-stock pricing across the Mijas Costa belt, where plot size, privacy and interior facilities, here a gym, games room and pool, carry the value rather than communal new-build amenities. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol competes with La Cala de Mijas, Calahonda and the Elviria, Santa María zone east of Marbella. Its differentiators are the density of golf within walking distance, genuinely flat terrain (many competing urbanisations sit on hillsides), and dual proximity to Fuengirola's rail terminus and Marbella's commercial centre. Trade-offs are equally factual: the beach is a drive rather than a stroll, and the housing stock dates from the 2000s boom rather than current construction standards. The regional market records around 3,800 housing transactions per year in this area, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity, relevant for buyers weighing eventual exit options. Median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the local economy: this is a tourist-and-expat driven market in which international buyers, not domestic wages, set prices at this level.
