La Gloria Playa is an exclusive development comprising 14 new construction apartments in Benajarafe, Rincón de la Victoria. Positioned approximately 100 meters above sea level, the site offers a strategic location near the coastal highway (A-7) and the shoreline. The units feature a living area of approximately 146 m², three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The design emphasizes modernity with large panoramic windows to enhance the indoor-outdoor connection. Delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.
Compared to developments further west (e.g., Estepona or Marbella), La Gloria Playa offers a lower price per square meter for similarly sized homes. Compared to the nearby 'Idilia Meraki' project in the same municipality, prices are slightly higher here, reflecting specific advantages in elevation and views. While projects in Mijas (like Arosa) are larger with more facilities, La Gloria Playa is more intimate and closer to the sea. The main difference with projects in Fuengirola (like Waterfall Residences) is the atmosphere; Rincón de la Victoria is less touristically saturated and more authentic. Buyers choose this location for the balance between city accessibility and eastern tranquility.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in the La Gloria district within the municipality of Rincón de la Victoria. It is characterized by its coastal position on the eastern side of Málaga with views of the Mediterranean. The distance to the coastline is short, though a significant slope of approximately 12% connects the property to the beach. Proximity to the A-7 ensures excellent road connectivity, though traffic noise may be a factor in the immediate vicinity.
These residences cater to buyers seeking spacious living environments with high natural light levels. The three-bedroom layout provides versatility for families or use as a vacation home. The inclusion of large terraces and the orientation support an outdoor lifestyle. The development features shared amenities including a swimming pool and garden areas, fostering a community atmosphere.
The project is currently under construction, with completion forecasted for Q2 2027. During the construction phase, buyers typically have the opportunity to select certain finishes and materials, subject to specific deadlines based on the construction timeline. The technical specifications indicate a strong emphasis on thermal efficiency and modern construction standards.
Prospective buyers should note the proximity to the A-7 highway, which may result in traffic noise. The location on a slope requires physical effort to walk to the beach. The area is car-dependent; while daily amenities are within walking distance, a vehicle is necessary for broader shopping and travel. The small scale of the complex (14 units) means shared spaces may see higher usage density during peak times.
This project suits buyers looking for a permanent residence with ample family space or a very spacious second home. The location fits those who prefer a balance between quiet coastal living and city accessibility. The three-bedroom layout accommodates regular guests. Investors may find the location attractive due to beach proximity and city access, though the car dependency for guests is a factor. It is less suitable for those seeking a fully car-free lifestyle or those sensitive to traffic noise from highways.
The specifications highlight materials chosen for sustainability and comfort. Exterior carpentry uses high-performance PVC with thermal break and double glazing (Climalit) with solar control for insulation and soundproofing. Hot water is produced via aerothermia, contributing to energy efficiency (Target Energy Rating A). Flooring consists of large-format porcelain stoneware tiles, continuous from indoor to outdoor areas to visually expand the space. Kitchens are fully fitted and equipped with brand-name appliances and ceramic countertops.
Prices for apartments in La Gloria Playa range from €740,000 to €790,000. This price level reflects the square footage (146 m²) and the coastal location. Prices are generally exclusive of VAT (IVA), notary fees, and registration costs. As a new development, prices may be negotiable depending on the construction stage and market conditions.
Living at La Gloria Playa means residing in a transition zone between the city of Málaga and the eastern coastal towns. Rincón de la Victoria is recognized for having the highest per capita income in Andalusia and a high standard of living. Daily amenities like supermarkets and local shops are within 1.5 km. The proximity to the beach (0.8 km as the crow flies) facilitates regular coastal walks, though the steep incline is a consideration. The neighborhood offers a mix of permanent residents and tourists, maintaining a relatively calm atmosphere outside the high season. For cultural and shopping needs, Málaga city is approximately a 20-minute drive away.
The immediate environment of La Gloria Playa is characterized by essential services within a short radius. Within 2 kilometers, there are numerous restaurants, cafes, banks, and pharmacies. Medical care is accessible with a health center and hospital (Hospital Vithas) about 1.7 km away. Educational facilities, including primary and secondary schools, are nearby. The neighborhood itself is residential, with a mix of apartments and houses. Due to the location on the main road, there is constant traffic flow towards Málaga and the eastern Costa del Sol.
The map displays La Gloria Playa situated on the coastal A-7 road, east of Málaga. Distances to the beach and hospital are short, and the highway access is directly visible. Topographical lines indicate the steep slope leading down to the sea.
Rincón de la Victoria forms the eastern gateway to the Costa del Sol from Málaga city. It distinguishes itself by its direct access to the A-7 highway, ensuring rapid connections. Compared to tourist hubs like Torremolinos or Fuengirola, Rincón is quieter and retains a more Spanish character. It is statistically cited as the municipality with the highest well-being in the province, reflected in its infrastructure quality.
The project has favorable accessibility. Málaga Airport is 28 km away (approx. 20-25 minutes by car). The beach is 0.8 km away, but the 12% slope makes the walk physically demanding. A car is practical for daily mobility; while public transport exists in the region, it may not offer the precision required for all schedules. For golf enthusiasts, the nearest course, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, is located 26 km away.
