Located in El Chaparral, Málaga, this property represents a significant real estate asset comprising a detached villa with a tourist license. The estate spans 2,203 m² with a constructed area of 845 m², featuring 16 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms. Recently renovated, the property operates as a boutique hotel, equipped with luxury amenities including a private pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. The setting is urban yet inland, providing proximity to essential services and coastal access.
Compared to residential developments like Waterfall Residences or Astra Homes in Fuengirola, this property commands a significant price premium due to its commercial zoning and revenue-generating capability. While neighboring projects offer entry points from €364,000 to €720,000 for private apartments, this €3,000,000 listing reflects the valuation of a business concern. The location in El Chaparral offers higher density and closer proximity to the airport than the more exclusive, residential-only areas further west, making it logistically superior for transient guests rather than long-term residents.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in El Chaparral, an urbanized area within Málaga province. Located 41 meters above sea level, the terrain is flat and urbanized. The neighborhood is characterized by its accessibility, with local shops and pharmacies within walking distance. While the property is not immediately on the coastline, the Mediterranean Sea is located approximately 6.2 km to the south, allowing for convenient travel to the beach without being in a high-density tourist zone.
With 16 en-suite bedrooms distributed over two floors, plus a ground floor area with kitchen and dining, the building meets high-capacity housing requirements. The layout includes multiple reception areas and a professional kitchen. Private outdoor spaces consist of terraces and a pool area designed for multiple occupants. Security features include magnetic card access and CCTV, catering to a need for secure managed accommodation.
This is an existing structure classified as 'Recently Renovated' rather than new construction. The building systems, including air conditioning (hot/cold) and solar panel energy generation, have been updated. There is no construction phase involved; the property is sold in a move-in ready condition with immediate operational capability.
The property is not configured as a standard single-family residence due to its commercial layout and high room count. It is situated inland, meaning sea views are distant and beach access requires transportation. The urban location implies a lack of isolation; surroundings include other properties and traffic infrastructure rather than open countryside.
This property fits investors looking for a running hospitality business with immediate cash flow. It is also suitable for large families or entities requiring extensive housing capacity. The tourist license allows for professional rental activity. It does not suit buyers seeking a quiet, private retreat without commercial intent.
The interior has been renovated for durability in a hospitality context. Flooring is robust, and walls are soundproofed between rooms. Technical facilities include a hot tub, sauna, and a fully equipped bar area. The kitchen is sized for commercial use. Security infrastructure is comprehensive, featuring cameras and monitored access points.
The property is listed for €3,000,000. This price reflects the total value of the real estate and the business assets included (furniture, equipment, license). There is no pricing tier for smaller units as the sale is for the entire estate. Comparable residential-only developments in the region start significantly lower, highlighting the commercial premium attached to this hotel operation.
El Chaparral offers a practical urban living environment. The immediate vicinity is populated with local amenities such as cafes and restaurants. The area serves as a connector between the city of Málaga and the coastal resorts, resulting in a busy, functional atmosphere. For the occupants of this villa, this means the convenience of city services combined with the privacy of a gated estate.
The surrounding area is dense with urban facilities, including 19 restaurants and 5 banks within a short radius. The proximity to Málaga Airport (7.8 km) is a key logistical feature. The environment is active and connected to the main transport arteries of the Costa del Sol, making it highly accessible for transient guests.
The map displays the property's location in El Chaparral relative to key transport links. Distances to beaches and the airport are measured as the crow flies. The actual driving distance may vary slightly depending on the specific route taken.
El Chaparral acts as a central hub between Málaga City and the western coastal towns. Its position close to the airport makes it strategic for rental businesses targeting tourists. It sits centrally within the Costa del Sol, providing easy access to both the cultural offerings of Málaga capital and the leisure facilities of the coast.
Beaches like Playa de San Andrés are 6.2 km away. Malaga Airport is 7.8 km from the site. Golf courses, such as Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, are within a 7 km to 12 km range. While a car is recommended for exploring the wider region, the property's location ensures that arrival and departure logistics are efficient.

El Chaparral is a southbound vehicle crossing from San Diego into Tijuana. It is part of the San Ysidro Port of Entry. It replaced the former entry point known as Puerta México which stood immediately east of El Chaparral. The opening of El Chaparral roughly tripled the number of traffic lanes to 22, reducing wait times for vehicles entering Mexico. It is roughly in the same location as the former Virginia Avenue crossing, where trucks entering the US from Mexico prior to 1983 was located. Access is via a four-lane, temporary access road that is 0.2 miles (0.32 km) long and leads west from the end of Interstate 5.
