Nestled on the sunlit edge of the Costa del Sol, a corner penthouse in Benalmádena offers a rare combination of generous outdoor living, contemporary comfort and immediate beach access — a property that speaks directly to international buyers seeking a well‑crafted, low‑maintenance Mediterranean home.

Discovering the Benalmádena penthouse with JMA Prime Estate

This three‑bedroom penthouse, completed in 2022 and presented by JMA Prime Estate, is a contemporary corner residence designed for the coastal lifestyle. Spanning 122 m² of usable interior space, it unfolds onto 152 m² of terraces — including a 42 m² main terrace and a 110 m² rooftop solarium — creating nearly 290 m² of living area when inside and out are counted together. Priced at EUR 1,350,000, the home combines bright, open living spaces, private lift access and panoramic sea views in a building with modern amenities.

As shown in the property photos, the living room feels immediately connected to the terrace: floor‑to‑ceiling glazing invites daylight and frames the coastline, while the open kitchen flows toward outdoor dining. The corner position gives the apartment a sense of expanded privacy and light — a subtle quality that photographs capture well and that buyers notice in person.

Sun, terraces and thoughtful outdoor design

Outdoor space is the defining feature here. The main terrace becomes an extension of the living room for most of the year, while the rooftop solarium is intentionally proportioned for entertaining: dining, lounging and 360° views of the coast and hills. The images included with the listing highlight how the terraces work with Mediterranean light — golden hour on the solarium, shaded afternoon corners on the main terrace, and the distant blueness of the sea anchoring the composition.

Comfort and practical luxury inside

Inside, three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms are laid out for practical family life or a lock‑up‑and‑leave holiday base. Details such as air conditioning, high‑quality finishes and private lift access speak to an expectation of comfort. The community amenities — an infinity pool that visually extends toward the Mediterranean, a sea‑view gym, two parking spaces and a storage room — reinforce the property’s ease of ownership for buyers who value turnkey living.

Property highlights referenced in the images and listing:

• Generous rooftop solarium and main terrace for year‑round outdoor life • Corner position for extra light and privacy • Private lift access directly into the home • Community infinity pool, gym, garage and storage • Short walk (approx. 600 m) to Carvajal Beach and promenade

Living in Benalmádena: coastal rhythm and practical access

Benalmádena is a town that balances relaxed seaside living with practical connectivity. A short stroll brings you to Carvajal Beach and its promenade, where cafés and chiringuitos create a convivial waterfront life. The area is well served by rail and road links to Málaga, Fuengirola and Marbella, making it attractive for buyers who value both tranquillity and access to larger urban centres.

From a market perspective, coastal penthouses with large outdoor footprints are sought after because they deliver what apartment living rarely does on the Costa del Sol: privacy, sun and usable outdoor rooms. For international buyers, considerations often include local community rules, rental potential, and ease of maintenance — all factors that JMA Prime Estate addresses in their property dossiers.

Practical advice for buyers looking here

Key checks and questions to bring to viewings in Benalmádena:

• Ask how outdoor areas are recorded in the deed and whether terraces/solarium are private or communal • Confirm running costs for communal amenities (pool, gym, lift) and recent reserve fund contributions • Check parking and storage allocations — especially important for absentee owners • Request energy performance documentation and details on heating/cooling systems • Discuss local rental rules and licensing if you’re considering let‑back income

A closing note: why this penthouse matters to eco‑minded buyers

While this property is not a rural eco‑retreat, its modern construction, efficient layout and emphasis on outdoor living align with sustainable lifestyle priorities: maximising daylight, reducing dependence on extensive heating, and encouraging outdoor life that lessens the need for energy‑intensive interior spaces. JMA Prime Estate’s local knowledge helps buyers weigh the environmental and practical trade‑offs of coastal living, and to consider small, high‑impact choices — from energy‑efficient appliances to managed landscaping — that make seaside ownership gentler on the environment.

If the idea of waking to seaside light, stepping onto a sunlit terrace and closing up the apartment with confidence while away appeals to you, this Benalmádena penthouse is a considered option. JMA Prime Estate can provide the full listing pack, arrange viewings for international schedules and advise on ownership pathways for non‑residents.
