This apartment in Costa del Sol is on our shortlist for the same reasons most of our recommendations are — the building checks out, the asking price is honest for what you get, and we'd happily send a friend to view it.
Montemar runs along the western edge of Torremolinos — residential rather than touristic, with apartment blocks set back from the seafront and a quieter feel than La Carihuela one street east. For apartment buyers it offers the same broad beach catchment without paying the chiringuito-strip premium. Stock skews mid-rise residential, with renovation upside still meaningful in older blocks. Per-square-metre pricing sits well below Carihuela for stock that is broadly comparable in age and build. The area’s slower repositioning means buyers willing to refurbish can still find genuine value, and the primary-residence buyer base anchors resale stability.
The value play next to Carihuela — same beach access at meaningfully softer pricing, with renovation upside still real for buyers willing to take it on.
- Quieter than Carihuela, same beach catchment
- More accessible per-square-metre entry pricing
- Renovation cycle in older blocks still in early stage
- Direct walk to Carihuela for restaurants and evening life
