Nestled in Benalmádena, property HQL-RSMQG represents a contemporary Costa del Sol penthouse shaped for outdoor living, light and easy access to the beach. This corner home pairs 122 m² of usable interior space with 152 m² of terraces and a rooftop solarium — a clear example of the kind of listings JMA Prime Estate sources for international buyers.

Discovering this Benalmádena penthouse with JMA Prime Estate

This penthouse is a corner unit built in 2022 and finished to modern standards. Spanning a total of 290 m² when you count terraces and rooftop, it contains three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a guest toilet. The open-plan living area flows onto a 42 m² main terrace; above, a 110 m² private solarium delivers panoramic sea views. As shown in the photos, large windows and clean finishes make the interior feel bright and contemporary.

What makes the property stand out

There are concrete, practical reasons an international buyer would value this home: corner orientation for extra light and privacy; private lift access directly into the apartment; two parking spaces and a storage room; and a community built with high standards completed in 2022. The communal infinity pool and gym with sea views are repeatedly highlighted in the listing images — they underline the lifestyle this property delivers rather than just its footprint.

Features that matter to overseas buyers

  • Sea views and immediate beach access (about 600 m to Carvajal Beach) — perfect for seasonal letting or full-time living.
  • Large private outdoor space — rare on the Costa del Sol at this scale and a primary driver of value.
  • Practical deliverables: two parking spaces, storage room, private lift and modern community amenities.

How JMA Prime Estate adds value for international buyers

JMA Prime Estate, based in Fuengirola, combines local market focus with a clear process for buyers who live overseas. With four years in business and a specialization across luxury, rentals, investment and new build, they bring the kind of operational knowledge you want when purchasing from abroad: accurate area comparisons, reliable documentation checks and a curated selection of ready-to-view properties. Their average client rating sits at five, reflecting responsiveness and hands-on support.

For this penthouse specifically, JMA Prime Estate managed the listing presentation — emphasising the outdoor spaces and private lift access in photography and floor plans, and preparing a full listing pack for international review. The images capture the terrace, rooftop solarium and infinity pool in ways that reflect how buyers actually use the property: morning coffee on the terrace, evening dining on the solarium, and the practical benefit of covered parking when you’re not on site.

Due diligence and compliance — what JMA Prime Estate prepares

Buying from abroad means the paperwork becomes the purchase’s hinge point. JMA Prime Estate’s due diligence checklist for homes like this typically includes verified title deeds, urban planning clearance, confirmation of community fees and regulations, utility registrations, and up‑to‑date certificates for the building. They also coordinate with local lawyers and notaries, preparing the buy-sell timeline and explaining costs that often surprise foreign buyers (transfer tax, notary fees, registration).

Questions we recommend asking the agent before committing

  • Can you provide the latest Nota Simple (land registry extract) and the comunidad meeting minutes for the last 12 months?
  • Who holds the developer warranty (given the build completed in 2022) and are there any open maintenance issues?
  • Exact breakdown of annual community fees, IBI (property tax) and confirmed parking allocations.

Benalmádena context: lifestyle, connectivity and market realities

Benalmádena sits between Málaga and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol and offers a balanced coastal lifestyle: family-friendly beaches, a lively promenade, and convenient road and rail links. For international buyers the appeal is clear — short transfers from Málaga airport, a year-round rental market for well-located apartments, and a neighbourhood mix that supports both holiday letting and full-time residency. That said, price sensitivity remains in micro-locations: proximity to the sea and genuine outdoor space (as this penthouse provides) command premiums.

At EUR 1,350,000, this penthouse should be evaluated against recent sales for comparable beachfront or near‑beach properties in Fuengirola and Benalmádena, factoring in the rare combination of a large solarium, private lift and two allocated parking spaces. We recommend buyers request comparable sold data (not just asking prices) and a breakdown of rental yields if you’re considering short-term lets.

How to judge outdoor space value

On the Costa del Sol, usable outdoor area significantly affects both lifestyle and resale value. JMA Prime Estate highlights terraces and solaria in their marketing because buyers pay for liveable outdoor rooms — not just square metres. When you review the images for this penthouse, focus on orientation, shading, and wind exposure; these practical details determine how often you’ll use each terrace.

If the mix of interior light, large terraces and beach proximity appeals to you, ask JMA Prime Estate for the full listing pack and recent comparables. They can arrange virtual tours, a managed viewing itinerary, and introduce trusted legal and tax advisors who specialise in non‑resident buyers. The listing images give a clear first impression, but a walk-through (in person or guided remotely) will confirm scale, sightlines and the rooftop experience — the elements that frequently decide a purchase.

Contact JMA Prime Estate in Fuengirola to request the dossier, the community accounts and to set up a viewing. For international buyers who value clarity and a process-minded agent, this Benalmádena penthouse is the sort of listing that rewards careful, documented inspection and sensible negotiation.
