Nestled in Benalmádena, this corner penthouse listed by JMA Prime Estate brings coastal living and considered design together. As shown in the photos, generous terraces, a private rooftop solarium and wide sea views define the property’s daily experience — a clear example of how a local agency curates inventory for international buyers.

Discovering the penthouse on the Costa del Sol

This three‑bedroom, 2.5‑bath penthouse spans 122 m² of interior living space (built 138 m²) and sits within a modern 2022 development. The layout prioritises light and flow: an open‑plan living and kitchen area opens directly onto a main terrace (42 m²), while a private rooftop solarium adds 110 m² of outdoor living — together providing 152 m² of outdoor space and a total footprint of 290 m². Photographs included with the listing capture the transition between interior and terrace and the panoramic coastline that frames the home.

Priced at EUR 1,350,000, the property is positioned for buyers seeking immediate lifestyle use or a lock‑up‑and‑leave second home with rental potential. Two covered parking spaces, a storage room and private lift access directly into the apartment are practical details that show the listing was prepared with international buyers’ expectations in mind.

The property’s corner position increases natural light and privacy; the photos highlight large windows and an open plan that connects to the main terrace. For buyers who value outdoor living, the rooftop solarium offers uninterrupted coastline views, space for dining and lounging, and the potential to add a kitchen or shaded pergola subject to planning. The communal facilities — an infinity pool facing the Mediterranean and a gym with sea views — extend the apartment’s lifestyle offer beyond its private terraces.

Based in Fuengirola and active across the Costa del Sol, JMA Prime Estate specialises in both lifestyle and investment properties. Their four‑year track record and an overall platform rating of 74.21/100 reflect a focused, data‑driven approach to sourcing and presenting homes that meet international buyer requirements: clear documentation, professional photography, and practical logistics such as parking and storage. This penthouse exemplifies their approach — quality new construction, transparent amenity lists and a buyer‑friendly presentation.

Beyond marketing, JMA Prime Estate supports foreign buyers by aligning search criteria with location‑specific realities: proximity to transport to Málaga and local airports, rental demand patterns in Benalmádena and Fuengirola, and local regulations affecting holiday rentals. The listing’s gallery, virtual walkthrough materials and clear area breakdowns make it simpler for remote buyers to shortlist and proceed to viewings with confidence. As the images show, their photography emphasises usable outdoor areas and sightlines — precisely what international buyers prioritise on the Costa del Sol.

Benalmádena context: why this location appeals to international buyers

Carvajal Beach and the seafront promenade are within a short walk, placing restaurants, cafés and daily conveniences close at hand. For buyers weighing lifestyle against liquidity, Benalmádena offers a balanced proposition: strong seasonal rental demand, direct connections to Málaga, and a more accessible price point than some neighbouring Costa del Sol hotspots. The property’s short distance to Fuengirola broadens tenant pools and services, which is relevant for those considering letting or long‑term resale value.

When reviewing properties in Benalmádena, look for: orientation to the sea, true outdoor square metres (terraces and solariums), secure covered parking, recent build quality, and on‑site amenities that support year‑round living. The penthouse’s combination of private lift access, large terraces and community facilities meets these criteria and is illustrated across the listing images.

Practical tips for international buyers

  • Verify the exact usable area and terrace measurements with the seller; confirm community fees and holiday rental rules; inspect orientation and sunlight at different times of day; request a breakdown of included fixtures and the parking/storage arrangement; ask JMA Prime Estate for recent comparable transactions in Carvajal and Fuengirola.

Images in the listing make it straightforward to assess finish quality and outdoor scale remotely — but a viewing will reveal how the rooftop solarium functions in practice and how indoor‑outdoor flow performs across seasons.
