Habitat Alborán - Bora is a new-build residential development of four seafront buildings in Torremolinos, on the western Costa del Sol. The project comprises two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments of approximately 110 m², each with a covered terrace oriented towards the sea. The complex includes an infinity pool, jacuzzi, landscaped Mediterranean gardens and underground parking with pre-installation for electric vehicle charging. Prices start from €778,500, with delivery indicatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2028. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 4.1 km away as the crow flies, and Torremolinos train station is within 100 metres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development stands in the Los Álamos area of Torremolinos, directly on the seafront. Playa de los Álamos is 844 m away as the crow flies, with Playa del Bajondillo at 500 m. A hospital lies 772 m away and a pharmacy 796 m. The area is backed by the Mijas mountains and connected to Málaga via the A-7, AP-7 and N-340. The gradient towards the beach is steep at 10.8%, which affects pedestrian access on foot.
Each apartment combines an open-plan living area with an integrated kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms across roughly 110 m². All units have direct terrace access with sea views, and ground-floor units include a private garden. Climate control is provided through underfloor heating and an aerothermal system with heat recovery ventilation. Built-in floor-to-ceiling wardrobes feature in all bedrooms, and the covered terrace extends the living space outdoors year-round.
Construction is currently under way, with delivery indicatively planned for the second quarter of 2028. The structure is executed in reinforced concrete, with quality control supervised by an approved independent laboratory and validated by a licensed technical control body. Facades receive interior thermal insulation with a technical plasterboard partition, and the roof is waterproofed and insulated in line with current regulations. Buyers purchase off-plan, so completion dates remain subject to change.
The site has a steep gradient of 10.8% towards the beach, which makes access on foot physically demanding in places. Torremolinos is a major tourist resort with 52 hotels and over 20,000 bed places, so the area experiences significant seasonal crowds, particularly in summer. The plot is relatively small at 32 m² per unit footprint reference, and the project does not include private pools; communal facilities only. Parking is underground with pre-installation, not full EV chargers.

This project fits buyers who prioritise a direct seafront position above all else and are prepared to pay for it. The clearest match is someone seeking a second home or relocation property within walking distance of the beach, with sea views from every unit, who values the covered terrace and outdoor-oriented layout as core living space rather than an extra. The train station 100 metres away makes the location workable for buyers who plan to use Málaga airport frequently or want car-light living, since the Cercanías line serves both the airport and the city centre. Buyers who travel often will note that the airport is 4.1 km away as the crow flies, close enough for short transfers but also within the flight path of a major airport, which brings aircraft noise at certain times. The project suits buyers comfortable with an off-plan purchase and a delivery date in the second quarter of 2028, meaning at least two to three years between contract and completion. It is less suitable for buyers wanting a private pool, a large private plot or a quiet rural setting: the plot is small, facilities are communal, and Torremolinos is a dense urban resort of over 71,000 residents plus substantial seasonal tourism. Buyers with limited mobility, or those in households where steep slopes are a barrier, should assess the 10.8% gradient to the beach in person. Finally, the price point positions the project against comparables in the same town that start €140,000 to €215,000 lower, so it is aimed at buyers for whom the seafront itself justifies the difference.
The build specification is documented in a detailed quality report. The foundation and basement walls follow current regulations and the recommendations of the geotechnical study, and the structure is executed in reinforced concrete. Quality control during construction is carried out by an approved independent laboratory, with correct execution of all elements validated by a licensed technical control body. The facade system combines cement mortar rendering with an exterior coating, internally insulated and completed on the dwelling side with a technical plasterboard partition containing insulation. Homes located above open spaces, porticos or terraces receive additional thermal insulation on the underside. Partitions between dwellings use sound-absorbing brick lined on both faces with insulated plasterboard, improving acoustic comfort between neighbours, while interior distributions use double plasterboard panels with internal insulation. The roof is waterproofed and insulated for thermal performance and watertightness. Exterior joinery is lacquered grey aluminium with thermal break profiles to reduce heat and cold transmission. Bedroom and living room windows are fitted with motorised aluminium-louvered blinds with interior insulation, and glazing is Climalit-type double glazing with an intermediate air chamber. Inside, floors are large-format porcelain throughout, kitchens come fully fitted with induction hob, oven, American-style fridge, dishwasher and washing machine, and bathrooms have designer fittings with backlit anti-condensation mirrors. Bedrooms include floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes. Climate control combines hot and cold air conditioning, underfloor heating and an aerothermal system with heat recovery ventilation. Underground parking includes pre-installation for electric vehicle charging. The complex offers an infinity pool, jacuzzi, landscaped Mediterranean gardens, a gated entrance with video surveillance and lifts.
Prices at Habitat Alborán - Bora start from €778,500, with the range extending to €1,363,500 for the most expensive units. All apartments are two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes of approximately 110 m² of living area. The price spread reflects position within the four buildings, floor level and terrace size, with higher units commanding wider sea views. Ground-floor units include a private garden. Within the Torremolinos new-build market, this starting price sits above local comparables such as One Oak (from €563,000), Residencial Pacaraima (from €625,000) and Habitat Alborán (from €636,000), a premium consistent with the direct seafront position. Delivery is indicatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2028, and availability of specific units should be confirmed with the developer.
Daily life at Habitat Alborán - Bora centres on the seafront. The apartments sit directly on the Los Álamos shoreline, where beach bars, chill-out bars and restaurants operate along the sand. Mornings can realistically begin with a walk along the promenade, which is flat and continuous, even though the route from the street level down to the water involves a steep gradient of 10.8% in places. Residents who prefer level walking will use the seafront promenade itself rather than the connecting streets. The town's infrastructure is dense: within two kilometres there are 192 restaurants, 37 cafés, 24 pharmacies, 11 banks and 5 dentists, which means almost every daily errand can be completed on foot or by a short drive. A hospital sits 772 m away and a pharmacy 796 m, both closer than the nearest supermarket at 1.5 km. The train station at 100 metres is the standout practical feature: the Cercanías line connects Torremolinos directly to Málaga city centre and to the airport in minutes, which reduces dependence on a car for commuting or travel. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood quiets considerably, as much of the surrounding accommodation serves seasonal tourism. During July and August the beaches and restaurants fill with visitors, and residents should expect busier streets and fuller terraces. The combination of a quiet winter and a lively summer defines the rhythm of the year here. The apartments themselves are oriented south-east and south-west, so terraces receive sun through the middle of the day and into the evening, matching the outdoor-oriented layout of the homes.
The immediate surroundings are those of an established seafront resort district. Los Álamos beach lies 844 m away as the crow flies, with Playa del Bajondillo at 500 m and Playa del Lido at 700 m. Along the shore, beach bars and restaurants operate directly on the sand, giving the area its characteristic summer atmosphere. Practical infrastructure is close: a hospital at 772 m, a pharmacy at 796 m, an electric vehicle charging point at 1.1 km and a supermarket at 1.5 km. The nearest golf facilities include Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 1.6 to 1.8 km and Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 1.2 km, both reachable within a short drive. Sports facilities nearby include a municipal swimming pool at 1.0 km, a football pitch at 0.9 km and an orienteering circuit at 0.8 km. Public transport is extensive for a town of this size, with 16 lines and 93 stops, and the train stations of Torremolinos (0.1 km), El Pinillo (1.9 km) and La Colina (2.3 km) provide rail connections along the coast. The area's character shifts with the seasons: the 52 hotels and 20,808 tourist beds mean a lively, international summer and a noticeably calmer winter. Elevation is a modest 57 metres above sea level, but the local gradient towards the beach is 10.8%, described in the source data as very steep, so daily walks to the shore involve some physical effort on the connecting streets.
The map shows the development's position on the Los Álamos seafront in Torremolinos, with the beach directly ahead and the train station 100 metres away. The steep gradient between the street level and the shore is visible in the terrain. Málaga lies 13 km to the east and the airport 4.1 km to the north-east, both distances as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torremolinos occupies a position at the eastern end of the western Costa del Sol, 13 km from Málaga and 37 km from Marbella, placing it closer to the regional capital than the resort towns further west. This gives the town a dual character: a developed beach resort in its own right, with the full seasonal tourism infrastructure that implies, and effectively a coastal extension of the Málaga metropolitan area, connected by rail and motorway. For buyers, the practical consequence is unusually good access to an international airport, high-speed rail at Málaga-María Zambrano and the cultural offer of a major city, combined with a walkable seafront setting. The trade-off is density and seasonality compared with locations further along the coast.
Distances in this section are straight-line, as the crow flies, and actual road distances may be longer. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 4.1 km away, one of the shortest airport distances on the Costa del Sol, and the train line from Torremolinos station (100 m from the development) connects directly to both the airport and Málaga city. Málaga itself lies 13 km away with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, offering museums including the Picasso Museum, Centre Pompidou, CAC, the Russian Museum and the Thyssen. Marbella is 37 km away and Granada 101 km. Beaches within walking distance include Playa del Bajondillo (0.5 km), El Gato Beach (0.5 km), Playa del Lido (0.7 km) and Playa de los Álamos (0.8 km). Golf courses are notably close: Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 1.2 km, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 1.8 km and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 7.5 km. Road access runs via the A-7, AP-7 and N-340. A car is useful but not strictly necessary given the train connection and the density of amenities within two kilometres, though the steep gradient and the 1.5 km distance to the nearest supermarket make some form of transport practical for heavier shopping.

Torremolinos records an average annual temperature of 18.6 °C, typical of the western Costa del Sol, with the swimming season lasting around four months at water temperatures of 20 °C or above. The town sits at 57 metres above sea level, between the sea and the Mijas mountain range, which frames the inland view from the development. The local topography is the most significant physical characteristic: the gradient from the site towards the beach measures 10.8%, categorised in the source data as very steep, which shapes how residents move between the apartment and the shore. Sunlight is a defining feature of the region, with long daylight hours that the building design exploits through south-east and south-west orientations and generous glazing. Nearby natural viewpoints include Mirador Los Cañones (1.2 km), Pico Palomas (3.6 km) and Mirador del Lobo (4.2 km), giving walking destinations in the hills behind the town. The climate supports year-round outdoor use of the terraces and the communal gardens, and the four Blue Flag beaches in the municipality indicate consistently measured water quality during the season.

Torremolinos holds four Blue Flag beaches: El Bajondillo, La Carihuela-Montemar, Los Álamos and Playamar. From the development, Playa del Bajondillo and El Gato Beach are both 0.5 km away as the crow flies, Playa del Lido is 0.7 km and Playa de los Álamos 0.8 km, meaning several swimmable shores lie within a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk, taking the gradient into account. Golf is a strong regional draw: Club de Golf Málaga Parador lies 1.2 km away, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez 1.8 km, Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt 5.6 km and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce 7.5 km, while the wider Costa del Sol offers more than 70 courses within roughly an hour's drive. Sports infrastructure in the municipality totals 193 facilities, including a municipal swimming pool at 1.0 km, Piscinas Virgen del Carmen III at 1.2 km and a football pitch at 0.9 km. For leisure beyond sport, the municipality counts 192 restaurants and 37 cafés within two kilometres of the site, and Málaga's cultural calendar, including Semana Santa, the Feria de Málaga and the film festival, is reachable by train in under half an hour.

Torremolinos is a municipality in Andalusia, southern Spain, west of Málaga. A poor fishing village before the growth in tourism began in the late 1950s, Torremolinos was the first of the Costa del Sol resorts to be developed and is still the most popular in the region.

Very Steep
Within Torremolinos itself, Habitat Alborán - Bora is positioned at the top of the local new-build price range. The comparable projects in the same town start materially lower: One Oak from €563,000, Residencial Pacaraima from €625,000 and the first phase of Habitat Alborán from €636,000. Against these, the Bora phase starts from €778,500, a premium of roughly €140,000 to €215,000 at entry level. The most plausible explanation for that gap is position: the four buildings stand directly on the Los Álamos seafront, with the source material stating that every unit has sea views, whereas the comparables sit further inland. Buyers comparing options within Torremolinos are therefore effectively weighing seafront proximity against price per square metre. More broadly along the Costa del Sol, Torremolinos occupies a different niche from Marbella (37 km west) or Benalmádena (3 km south). It is denser, more urban and more seasonal, with 71,329 residents, 52 hotels and 20,808 tourist beds, and a housing market that records around 1,566 transactions per year. What it offers in exchange is metropolitan connectivity: the Cercanías train from Torremolinos station reaches Málaga centre in minutes, the airport is 4.1 km away as the crow flies, and the A-7, AP-7 and N-340 road links place most Costa del Sol municipalities within an hour's drive. For buyers focused on golf, the surrounding region carries more than 70 courses, with three within 7.5 km of this development. The median provincial income of €16,450 indicates that this price segment serves an international and second-home buyer profile rather than the local primary market. In short, the project competes on seafront position and connectivity rather than on exclusivity or space, and buyers should compare it primarily against other first-line developments rather than against inland new builds in the same town.
