This four-bedroom duplex penthouse is situated in the Los Álamos district of Torremolinos, on the western edge of Málaga's coastal strip. Completed in 2021 within the Residencial Alamar development, the property offers 147 m² of living space across two levels, with a west-facing terrace, a private solarium with 360-degree views, and sea views towards the Mediterranean. The beach at Playa de los Álamos lies approximately 0.8 km away as the crow flies. The asking price is fixed at €1,295,000 and the home is key-ready, allowing immediate occupancy.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an urbanised beachside zone between Torremolinos and Málaga airport. Los Álamos train station is at walking distance, connecting the district directly with Málaga city centre and Fuengirola. Playa de los Álamos lies 0.8 km away in a straight line, with the terrain essentially flat, making the beach reachable on foot or by bicycle along the seafront promenade.
The duplex layout separates daily functions: three bedrooms and the open-plan living kitchen occupy the main level, while the entire upper floor is reserved for a master suite with private lounge and wraparound solarium. Air conditioning, a lift, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom are in place. A communal pool serves the urbanisation. Hidden storage and laundry space add practical capacity.
Construction was completed in 2021 and the home is delivered key-ready, meaning no waiting period or off-plan risk applies. The finishing reflects contemporary standards: an open-plan kitchen, modern bathrooms and recently installed climate systems. As an existing resale property, the purchase follows standard second-hand transaction procedures rather than new-build contracts.
The property has a communal pool only; there is no private pool. No private garden or garage is listed in the available data, and parking arrangements would need verification. Beach access involves a walk of roughly 0.8 km, not direct frontage. The immediate area is urban and tourist-oriented, with hotels and beach clubs nearby, so the setting is not a quiet residential village.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol who want four bedrooms, a train link for commuting into Málaga and schools within range, thirteen primary and nine secondary schools serve the area, would find the layout practical. A couple seeking a second home with strong rental potential benefits from the tourist infrastructure of Los Álamos and the short airport transfer of roughly 4 km as the crow flies. Buyers who prioritise outdoor living will value the dual terrace arrangement: the west-facing main terrace for dining and the upper solarium for privacy and all-day sun. The property is less suited to those seeking silence and seclusion; the district is urban, tourist-heavy in summer and close to flight paths. Equally, buyers wanting a private garden or their own pool will not find that here, as the pool is communal. Households with mobility considerations should note that although a lift serves the building, the duplex itself involves internal stairs between levels. For a buyer combining permanent residence, holiday use and eventual letting in one property, the configuration, separate master floor, three further bedrooms, key-ready condition, aligns with that multi-purpose pattern.
Delivered in 2021, the home reflects current construction standards rather than older coastal stock. The main level is arranged around an open-plan kitchen flowing into the living area, with large openings onto the covered west-facing terrace, which is furnished as an outdoor lounge with a fire table and dining space. Interior images show a contemporary palette: a modern living room, a fully tiled bathroom with both tub and shower, and a twin bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Storage and laundry facilities are concealed within the main floor, a detail that keeps the open layout uncluttered. The upper floor is dedicated to the master suite with en-suite bathroom and a private lounge opening onto the wraparound solarium. Climate control is provided by air conditioning throughout, a practical necessity given summer temperatures averaging up to 26°C. The property includes a lift serving the building, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and both sea and mountain views from the upper level. Condition is recorded as excellent, consistent with a four-year-old home that has seen controlled use. As with any resale purchase, an independent technical survey remains advisable to verify installation quality and community maintenance standards, neither of which is documented in the available data.
The asking price is fixed at €1,295,000 for this existing, key-ready home, this is not a from-price within a development. The property offers 147 m² of built living space across two floors, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a private solarium, a covered terrace and access to a communal pool. Completed in 2021, it sits at the upper end of the local market, reflecting its duplex format, sea views and proximity to both the beach and the train link to Málaga. Purchase costs follow the standard Spanish resale regime, including transfer tax rather than VAT. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position.
Daily life here revolves around the coastal rhythm of Los Álamos: mornings can start with coffee on the west-facing terrace, with the main-level layout keeping kitchen, living area and three bedrooms on one floor. The upper level functions as a self-contained retreat, with a master suite, a private lounge and a wraparound solarium oriented for afternoon and evening sun, a layout that suits households wanting clear separation between shared and private zones. The neighbourhood itself is dense with amenities: within 2 km there are 33 restaurants, 8 cafés and 5 pharmacies, plus two health centres in the wider area. Plaza Mayor and the McArthurGlen designer outlet are a short drive away for retail. The train station at Los Álamos sits effectively at the doorstep, giving car-free access to Málaga centre and the wider coast, while the airport is roughly 4 km away in a straight line, convenient for travel, though aircraft noise is a factor worth checking in person. The area has a pronounced seasonal character: 52 hotels and over 20,000 beds mean summers are busy and lively, while the winter months are considerably calmer. For a buyer seeking an active, well-connected beachside base rather than seclusion, the day-to-day experience is urban and sociable, with the beach, padel courts and promenade within easy reach.
The immediate surroundings combine residential urbanisations with a busy beachfront strip. Playa de los Álamos is 0.8 km away in a straight line over flat terrain, and the walk follows an established promenade lined with chiringuitos and beach clubs. Daily services are dense: 33 restaurants, 8 cafés, 5 pharmacies and a bank within 2 km cover routine needs without a car. For sport, Pádel La Colina is 1.2 km away and Kart&Fun Málaga 1.7 km; a public children's pool sits 1 km from the property. Education and healthcare are represented by 13 primary schools, 9 secondary schools and 2 health centres in the area. The seasonal dynamic matters: with 52 hotels and roughly 20,800 tourist beds nearby, July and August bring crowds and traffic, while the shoulder seasons and winter are markedly quieter. The train station at Los Álamos is effectively at the property's doorstep, and 18 public transport lines with 50 stops serve the district. Three EV charging points, including a Tesla Supercharger 1.2 km away, support electric motoring.
The map shows the property's position on the flat coastal plain of Los Álamos, with the beach 0.8 km to the south-east and the rail line, with its station at the doorstep, running parallel to the coast. Málaga airport lies a short distance north-east, and Torremolinos extends southwards.

Los Álamos occupies the coastal strip between Torremolinos and Málaga airport, placing this property at the eastern gateway of the Costa del Sol. Málaga city is a short train ride away, while Torremolinos centre lies 2.8 km south. The position combines urban-coastal living with metropolitan access, a different proposition from the resort towns further west such as Benalmádena, Fuengirola or Marbella. For buyers weighing the Costa del Sol against the Costa Blanca, this location trades those regions' resort scale for direct proximity to a provincial capital and an international airport.
Access is one of the location's strengths. Los Álamos station is at the property's location itself, with La Colina 0.7 km and Torremolinos 2.8 km further along the Cercanías line, providing direct rail links to Málaga city centre and the airport. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 4 km away as the crow flies, with a drive time of about five minutes; Gibraltar airport is approximately 95 km distant. Beaches are close: Playa de los Álamos at 0.8 km, Playa Campo de Golf at 1.9 km and Playa del Lido at 2.4 km, all straight-line. Golfers have three courses within reach, Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 1.4 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 1.6 km and Guadalhorce at 7.2 km. Marina Real Club Mediterráneo is 9.5 km away in Málaga. By car, the N-340 and AP-7 corridors are easily reached, and the flat terrain makes walking and cycling realistic alternatives for most daily trips.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, supporting outdoor use of the terraces for most of the year. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or above, spans about four months, typically June to September. The elevation is just 10 metres above sea level with a gradient of only 1% toward the beach, so no hills interrupt daily walks to the coast. For nature interest, the Observatorio de Aves Marinas lies 3.5 km away and viewpoints at Mirador de Churriana (3.1 km) and Mirador Los Cañones (4.1 km) offer inland panoramas. Mountain views are visible from the upper solarium, complementing the sea outlook. The combination of mild winters and warm, dry summers defines the outdoor-oriented rhythm of the area.

The closest beach, Playa de los Álamos, is 0.8 km away as the crow flies and forms the social heart of the district, known for its beach clubs and traditional chiringuito restaurants along the promenade. Playamar, at 1.9 km, holds a Blue Flag for water quality and services. Playa Campo de Golf (1.9 km) and Playa del Lido (2.4 km) extend the sandy coastline southwards. Golf is unusually well served for an urban location: three courses within 7.2 km include the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course at 1.4 km and the Málaga Parador club at 1.6 km, both walkable or a short drive. Padel is central to local recreation, with Pádel La Colina 1.2 km away, and karting is available at 1.7 km. A children's swimming pool 1 km away adds a family option. Together these facilities support year-round activity beyond the summer beach season.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a distinct segment. The comparable new-build projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), sit in a different price bracket, typically offering apartments of smaller scale in less central locations. At a fixed €1,295,000, this duplex penthouse competes on format and position rather than price per square metre: a four-bedroom, two-level layout with a private solarium is scarce in the dense coastal strip between Málaga and Torremolinos. Location is the differentiator. Torre del Mar and Estepona appeal to buyers seeking quieter, lower-density surroundings, while Los Álamos trades that calm for train connectivity, an airport roughly 4 km away as the crow flies and the cultural weight of Málaga city within the Cercanías network. The local market records around 1,566 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment, and the district's hotel infrastructure supports consistent seasonal rental demand. Buyers comparing this home with inland or western Costa del Sol alternatives should weigh urban liveliness, busy summers, aircraft proximity, dense tourism, against the practical advantages of a car-optional, city-linked location. For a buyer whose priority is a low-maintenance, immediately available coastal home near a major airport, the value case rests on convenience and layout rather than seclusion or land.
