Nestled in Benalmádena, property HQL-RSMQG is a modern corner penthouse that reads as a case study in how local expertise and careful curation lift a listing from attractive to genuinely market-ready. With three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and expansive outdoor areas, this home illustrates the precise type of coastal product international buyers seek on the Costa del Sol.

Discovering the penthouse: layout and living

Property image 2

At 122 m² of usable interior space and a total footprint of 290 m² when terraces and solarium are included, the apartment balances indoor comfort with extensive outdoor living. The main terrace (42 m²) and rooftop solarium (110 m²) are fundamental design decisions for buyers who prioritise al fresco dining, privacy and sea panoramas. As shown in the photos, large windows and a corner aspect flood the open-plan living area with daylight and frame uninterrupted views of the coastline.

The interior finishes reflect contemporary coastal taste: a bright palette, quality fittings and a layout that prioritises flow from kitchen to terrace. The private lift that opens directly into the apartment is a notable convenience for full-time residents and second‑home owners alike, and two parking spaces plus a storage room answer a common logistics concern for international buyers importing personal items or renting the home seasonally.

Key features at a glance

  • Total usable interior: 122 m²; total outdoor: 152 m²
  • Rooftop solarium (110 m²) with panoramic coastline views
  • Community infinity pool, gym with sea views, garage and storage

How JMA Prime Estate positions this property for international buyers

Property image 3

JMA Prime Estate, based in nearby Fuengirola, approaches listings with a data-aware, buyer-focused methodology. Their work on this penthouse demonstrates three consistent disciplines: clear specification, lifestyle-led presentation and practical transaction support. The agency’s portfolio specialisations—new construction, luxury and vacation homes—align with what this penthouse offers: a 2022 build with contemporary systems, turnkey furnishing and an investor-friendly lock‑up‑and‑leave layout.

Photographs in the gallery communicate those choices directly. JMA Prime Estate uses imagery to highlight not only the sea view and terrace space but also community amenities—the infinity pool and gym—that add rental and lifestyle value. For international buyers who cannot inspect a property in person immediately, high-quality photos and a coherent narrative reduce uncertainty and accelerate decisions.

Agency services that matter for cross-border buyers

  1. Tailored documentation packs: translated paperwork, clear floorplans and precise area breakdowns to support mortgage and legal checks.
  2. Local market guidance: pricing context for Benalmádena and coastal micro‑markets so buyers understand long‑term demand and short‑term yield potential.
  3. Viewing and handover coordination: remote viewings, measured surveys and turnkey handover options for furnished units.

Benalmádena context: why this location matters

Carvajal Beach and the seafront promenade are roughly 600 metres from the building, placing the property in a walkable pocket of Benalmádena that benefits from year‑round demand. The neighbourhood blends established local amenities—beachfront restaurants, regular public transport and convenient road links—with proximity to Fuengirola and Málaga. For international buyers, that mix translates into lifestyle convenience, resilience in off‑season rental occupancy and straightforward access to Málaga airport for travel.

From an investment perspective, penthouses with substantial outdoor space and dedicated parking continue to command premiums on the Costa del Sol. The penthouse’s corner position increases natural light and privacy—attributes that make it easier to attract both long‑term tenants and holiday rentals during high season.

What international buyers should look for—lessons from this listing

  • Clear area accounting: confirm usable living area versus constructed area and terrace sizes—this penthouse’s split between 122 m² interior and 152 m² outdoor is decisive for value.
  • Community amenities and service costs: a high‑quality pool and gym add rental appeal but check community fees and usage rules.
  • Practical transport and parking: two dedicated parking spaces reduce friction for owners who split time between countries.

A buyer checklist for seaside penthouses

  1. Confirm build year and warranty status—this property was completed in 2022.
  2. Request a breakdown of community charges and any planned works.
  3. Ask for comparable rental and sales data for Benalmádena to assess yield and resale potential.

Pricing and positioning: EUR 1,350,000 explained

At EUR 1,350,000, the penthouse sits in the upper segment of Benalmádena offerings. JMA Prime Estate positions the property not purely as a sea‑view purchase but as a lifestyle and yield proposition: a 2022 build with large terraces, turnkey furnishing and community facilities that support both private use and short‑term rental. For many international buyers, that combination justifies a premium over older stock with smaller outdoor space.

The agency’s overall rating and four‑year market presence in the Fuengirola–Benalmádena corridor underpin its ability to price and market such assets to cross‑border clients. Their approach reduces friction during the purchase process—particularly useful where language, financing and local tax questions complicate decisions.

Viewing, due diligence and next steps

JMA Prime Estate offers remote and in‑person viewings and prepares a full listing pack on request. For international buyers, we recommend starting with: a remote walkthrough, followed by a document pack (floorplans, community statutes, recent utility bills), and then a measured site visit. The images available in the gallery are intentionally comprehensive—use them to shortlist before committing to travel.

If you are considering properties like this one in Benalmádena, ask the agent for net yield estimates, typical off‑season occupancy and any restrictions on short‑term lets. JMA Prime Estate can supplement these with local comparables and management options to help you model ownership scenarios.

As captured in the photographs, the combination of private outdoor space, an infinity pool and a gym with sea views are the amenities that tend to deliver the strongest demand from international renters and owner‑occupiers alike.

Final thoughts — why this penthouse is worth a closer look

This Benalmádena penthouse exemplifies the kind of curated product JMA Prime Estate brings to the market: modern construction, substantial outdoor space, considered amenities and documentation tailored to cross‑border purchasers. For buyers seeking a combination of daily coastal living and investment flexibility, the property is a compelling proposition—provided you complete targeted due diligence and align the purchase with your travel, tax and rental plans.
