Torremolinos: the classic resort, reinvented
Ten minutes from the airport, with a long sandy beachfront, the La Carihuela fishing quarter and the train to Málaga on the doorstep.
*Averages for all new-build and resale homes across the whole of Torremolinos (idealista, September 2026). New-build homes and homes in prime locations are typically priced significantly above the general average.
A year-round town by the airport
The original Costa del Sol resort has reinvented itself, with a long sandy beachfront, the La Carihuela fishing quarter and renovated hotels. Being next to the airport and Málaga city makes it popular with frequent travellers and year-round residents, and prices are still below the coastal average.
Montemar and El Pinillo, in the hills, offer quieter streets and views over the bay, while the seafront puts restaurants, the promenade and the train to Málaga on your doorstep.
Where to live in Torremolinos
La Carihuela, the old fishing quarter to the west, is known for its seafood restaurants and beachside apartments, while Playamar and Los Álamos continue the beachfront towards Málaga with newer apartment buildings and pools.
Above the town, Montemar and El Pinillo are quieter residential areas with townhouses, villas and views over the bay, and La Colina sits next to the golf course. The town centre has the main shopping street, the train station and the steps down to Bajondillo beach.
Day to day, Torremolinos has supermarkets, health centres, restaurants and bars open all year, and the local train runs to Málaga city and the airport in minutes. Málaga airport is around 10 minutes by car.
