Living on the beachfront on the Costa del Sol
The Costa del Sol boasts over 160 km of coastline and some of the finest beaches in Spain. Living on the beachfront means enjoying the Mediterranean across the 320 sunny days a year that the province of Malaga has to offer.
Advantages of beachfront living
Beachfront apartments offer a unique lifestyle: morning walks along the shore, beach bars on the sand, spectacular sunsets from your terrace and the sea breeze as a constant companion. They are also highly sought-after properties for holiday rentals.
Important considerations
When buying on the beachfront, it is important to check the Coastal Law and the concession status of the building. Our advisors will inform you about all legal aspects and help you make an informed decision.
Rental returns
Beachfront apartments are in exceptional demand for holiday rentals. During the high season (June-September), a 2-bedroom apartment can generate between €150-250 per night depending on the area, representing an excellent annual return.
Frequently asked questions about beachfront apartments
We answer the most common questions before buying right by the sea
What counts as a beachfront apartment on the Costa del Sol?
A beachfront property is any home located directly on the seafront promenade or facing the beach, with no intervening buildings blocking the sea view. Spanish coastal law requires a minimum distance of 100 metres from the public maritime-terrestrial domain for new developments, which protects existing properties.
How much does a beachfront apartment cost on the Costa del Sol?
Prices vary by area: in Fuengirola, Torremolinos or Benalmádena they range from 250,000 € to 700,000 € for 2-3 bedrooms. In Puerto Banús or Estepona they can exceed one million euros. The difference compared with a second-line property is usually 30-50% due to the sea view and direct beach access.
Which are the best areas to buy a seafront apartment?
The most sought-after areas are Fuengirola's seafront promenade, La Carihuela in Torremolinos, Puerto Marina in Benalmádena, Puerto Banús and Nueva Andalucía in Marbella, and the centre of Estepona. For the best value for money, Calahonda, Mijas Costa and Manilva stand out.
Is a beachfront apartment a good investment?
Yes. Beachfront apartments offer gross returns of 6-8% per year on holiday lettings and maintain an average historical appreciation of 5-7% per year thanks to limited supply (no new beachfront properties can be built). Demand from tourists and European retirees ensures high occupancy all year round.
What should I keep in mind before buying on the seafront?
Check the property register extract (nota simple) at the Land Registry, inspect the condition of the façade and salinity (more demanding maintenance), review the owners' association (fees and planned special levies), confirm the tourist licence if you want to let it and, above all, make sure no new construction can obstruct the sea view.
Can a beachfront apartment be let as tourist accommodation?
Yes, provided it is registered in the Andalusian Tourism Register (VFT) and meets the requirements: air conditioning, adequate ventilation, a first-aid kit, complaint forms and an evacuation plan. Some owners' associations restrict tourist use in their statutes, so it is worth reviewing them before buying.
