A key-ready, south-facing ground-floor apartment in Torre del Mar, on the eastern Costa del Sol. The property offers 92 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a covered terrace of approximately 60 m² and a private garden of roughly 80 m². It is sold fully furnished, includes a parking space and storage room, and carries a tourist rental licence that remains with the property. The asking price is fixed at €495,000. Torre del Mar forms part of the municipality of Vélez-Málaga in the Axarquía region and is a coastal town that functions year-round, with the beach about 1.8 km away as the crow flies.
Within Torre del Mar itself, the pricing landscape is relatively broad. Horus V, a new-build development, starts at €378,000, while Residencial Marinsa La Viña opens at €630,000, a spread that shows the town accommodates both entry-level buyers and an upper segment. This apartment's fixed price of €495,000 sits between those poles, but the comparison is not straightforward: new-build 'from' prices typically exclude furniture, parking or storage, whereas this resale includes all three plus a tourist rental licence, items that can add tens of thousands of euros to a new-build purchase in practice. Further west, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600, meaning the western Costa del Sol's equivalent offering begins above this apartment's asking price. More broadly, Torre del Mar and the Axarquía coast trade at lower levels than the Marbella, Estepona band, 75 km to the west, while offering the same Blue Flag beaches and comparable climate data. The town's market is active, with 1,667 housing transactions per year, and its population of 86,048 supports year-round services rather than a seasonal shutdown. For buyers weighing this property against new construction, the trade-offs are concrete: an existing building versus a fresh build with developer guarantees, immediate availability versus a completion wait, and established surroundings versus a development still finding its rhythm. For letting purposes, the existing licence is a practical advantage, since new licence applications in parts of Málaga province have become more restrictive. The town's 11 hotels and 891 tourist beds indicate a visitor economy that is present but not saturated, which matters for occupancy expectations in the letting market.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in a built-up, commercial part of Torre del Mar, close to shops, schools and the sea. The town belongs to Vélez-Málaga in the Axarquía, roughly 29 km from Málaga as the crow flies. Within two kilometres there are 58 restaurants, 19 cafés, nine pharmacies and nine banks. Public transport is available via 13 lines and 50 stops.
The ground-floor layout with a private garden and covered terrace suits buyers who want outdoor space comparable to a house while retaining apartment conveniences such as a lift and communal pool. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and an included parking space cover standard residential needs. The property is delivered furnished and finished.
This is an existing, completed apartment rather than a new-build project. Construction is finished and the home is key-ready, which means no waiting period between purchase and occupancy. Interior photographs show a modern kitchen and dining area, a bedroom with a balcony view, and a gated complex with a swimming pool. Completion is listed as 2025, with all dates indicative.
The property has two bedrooms and 92 m² of living space, which limits its suitability for larger households. It is a ground-floor unit with street views, so it is not a penthouse or elevated panoramic property. There is no private pool; the pool is communal. Specific details on the building's construction year and technical specifications are not stated in the available documentation.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a low-maintenance coastal home with genuine private outdoor space will find the garden and terrace configuration more akin to a villa plot than a typical flat. Buyers relocating year-round benefit from the town's full service provision: 19 primary schools and nine secondary schools in the wider area, three health centres, and year-round commerce. Investors can operate the apartment as a tourist let from day one, since the licence remains with the property and the sale includes furniture; Torre del Mar records 11 hotels and 891 beds, indicating established visitor demand, while its 1,667 annual housing transactions point to an active resale market. Buyers who want sea views without elevated access will note the ground-floor position provides sea and beach views together with step-free entry. The home is less suitable for households needing more than two bedrooms, or for buyers specifically seeking a private pool, since the pool is communal. Those wanting a detached villa with total independence will also find the apartment format a different proposition, despite the generous outdoor area. Finally, buyers prioritising modern construction standards may prefer a new-build scheme, as this is a completed resale unit in excellent condition rather than a development under construction.
The apartment is delivered in excellent condition and fully furnished, which removes the usual cost and coordination of furnishing a holiday home. The kitchen is fully fitted, as shown in the interior photographs, which depict a modern dining-kitchen with an oven and a view towards the outdoors. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, providing storage without additional purchases. Climate control consists of air conditioning, relevant given summer temperatures on the southern Spanish coast. The terrace is covered, extending usable hours during midday heat and light rain, while the roughly 80 m² private garden is laid out as usable ground rather than a balcony substitute. A lift serves the building, so the ground-floor location is a preference rather than a necessity for access. Additional practical assets include an allocated parking space and a separate storage room, both items that add daily convenience and are not always included in resale apartments. The complex is gated, with a communal swimming pool visible in the exterior photographs, indicating maintained communal areas. Orientation is south-facing, which maximises sun exposure on the terrace and garden throughout the day. No specific information is available about the building's construction year, insulation values or energy performance, so buyers relying on those criteria should request the relevant documentation. The overall picture is a move-in-ready home where the finishing level has been maintained rather than a renovation project.
The asking price is a fixed €495,000 for the apartment as a complete package: fully furnished, with a parking space, a storage room and a tourist rental licence that transfers with the property. This is not a price-list development with unit variations; it concerns one specific home. Compared with new-build projects in the same town, Horus V from €378,000 and Residencial Marinsa La Viña from €630,000, the price sits between the entry-level and upper segments of the local market. The buyer receives an immediately usable asset with no completion risk. Delivery is immediate upon purchase transfer.
Daily life here revolves around a practical coastal routine. The apartment faces south, receiving sun from morning to evening, and the covered terrace plus private garden of roughly 140 m² combined outdoor space allow meals and relaxation outside for most of the year. With an average annual temperature of 19.4°C and a swimming season of about six months with water at or above 20°C, outdoor use of the property is realistic well beyond the summer months. The setting is urban rather than isolated: shops, cafés and restaurants are within walking or short driving distance, and a municipal swimming pool, sports centre and additional sports facilities lie within one kilometre. Torre del Mar has 86,048 registered inhabitants, so the town maintains services, schools and health centres throughout the winter, unlike purely seasonal resorts. The ground-floor position means no stairs are needed to reach the front door, though a lift serves the building. Noise levels reflect the town-centre character: this is a lived-in Andalusian coastal town with a busy promenade in summer and quieter months outside the season. For everyday errands, nine pharmacies and nine banks within two kilometres reduce the need to travel to Vélez-Málaga or Málaga for basics. An electric-vehicle Supercharger is located about one kilometre away. The configuration works for permanent residence, for a second home used several times a year, or for tourist letting under the existing licence.
Torre del Mar combines a promenade, long sandy beaches and full daily amenities within a compact area. The nearest beach lies about 1.8 km away in a straight line, with the route essentially flat, the gradient is calculated at 0.6%, meaning the coast is reachable on foot or by bicycle without effort. The municipal swimming pool (0.6 km), the Polideportivo Maestro Salvador Sánchez sports centre (0.7 km) and Centro Deportivo VALS (0.9 km) provide indoor and outdoor training options close to home, and the wider area counts 140 sports facilities. For dining and social life, 58 restaurants and 19 cafés within two kilometres cover everything from daily needs to evening outings. Practical services cluster nearby too: nine pharmacies, nine banks and two dentists within the same radius. The marina at Puerto Deportivo Caleta de Vélez is 2.7 km away, offering mooring-related activity and a different walking destination from the town beach. Several viewpoints, Mirador de la Maroma, Mirador del Mar and Mirador de Benamocarra, sit between 4.3 and 4.7 km away, giving access to inland scenery within a short drive. Public transport runs on 13 lines with 50 stops, so a car is convenient but not essential for local movement. Málaga, with its airport, historic centre and hospital network, lies 29 km away as the crow flies.
The map shows the apartment's position within Torre del Mar's urban fabric: the beachfront to the south, the town's shops and services immediately around it, and the flat coastal plain rising towards the Axarquía hills inland. Málaga lies 29 km west in a straight line; the Blue Flag beaches of Benajarafe and La Caleta stretch along the coast nearby. An Andalusian coastal town with a promenade, marina and full services, liveable in every season.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torre del Mar occupies the coastal section of Vélez-Málaga, the main municipality of the Axarquía, east of Málaga city (29 km direct). Compared with Marbella (75 km) and the western Costa del Sol, the town is more Spanish in character and less dominated by international tourism, while remaining within reach of the same coastline. Granada (65 km) is closer here than from Marbella, making inland Andalusian destinations practical excursions. Property prices in Torre del Mar generally sit below the Marbella, Estepona band, which is visible in the comparable figures for local projects. The location suits buyers who want coastal living with year-round urban substance rather than a resort enclave.
The property's coastal position places the beach about 1.8 km away in a direct line, on terrain that is flat throughout. Málaga airport (AGP) is approximately 36 km away as the crow flies, the primary gateway for international arrivals; Gibraltar airport lies roughly 130 km away and Alicante-Elche about 356 km. Distances quoted are straight-line figures, so actual road travel is longer. By car, the A-7 and MA-3200 connect Torre del Mar westwards to Málaga (29 km direct) and eastwards to the smaller coves of the Axarquía. Granada sits 65 km away in a straight line and Marbella 75 km, placing both within day-trip range. Within the town itself, the setting is classified as close to shops, close to schools, close to the sea and near transport, and the amenity data supports this: 13 bus lines and 50 stops give non-drivers a workable alternative for local journeys. For electric-vehicle owners, a Supercharger station is located about one kilometre from the apartment. The marina at Caleta de Vélez (2.7 km) and three Blue Flag beaches within the municipality add recreational destinations within minutes rather than hours.

Torre del Mar lies at 12 m above sea level on a coastal plain, with the gradient to the beach measured at just 0.6%, effectively flat terrain. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.4°C, which supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season lasts around six months, with sea water at or above 20°C, typically from late spring into autumn. South-facing orientation means the terrace and garden receive sun from morning until evening, useful both for comfort and for any planting in the private garden. The nearby mountains of the Axarquía, visible from viewpoints 4 to 5 km inland such as the Mirador de la Maroma, provide a green backdrop and cooler walking destinations within a short drive. Being at sea level, the property avoids the hillside access roads and steps common in parts of the Costa del Sol; the trade-off is a lack of elevated panoramic views, with sea and beach views available from ground level instead. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry spells in summer when air conditioning, which is installed, becomes the main climate control.

The municipality holds three Blue Flag beaches: Benajarafe, La Caleta (Paseo) and Torre del Mar (Paseo Marítimo), a certification that reflects water quality and services. The closest beach to the apartment is a designated dog beach about 1.8 km away in a straight line, with the main Costa del Sol beachfront 2.7 km and Playa de La Caleta 4.0 km distant. The promenade at Torre del Mar functions as the town's social spine, lined with restaurants and cafés and busy in the summer season. Sports provision is unusually dense: 140 facilities across the wider area, with the municipal pool at 0.6 km, the main sports centre at 0.7 km and Centro Deportivo VALS at 0.9 km. The marina at Puerto Deportivo Caleta de Vélez (2.7 km) adds nautical recreation. No golf courses are listed among the nearby points of interest, so golfers would need to travel towards Málaga or further west along the coast. Viewpoints inland at 4.3 to 4.7 km offer hiking and scenery options, giving the location a balance of beach, sport and hillside leisure rather than a single focus.
