About Kool Torremolinos
Sixteen homes, no more. Kool Torremolinos is a small residential building on the western edge of Torremolinos, where the town merges into Benalmádena. If you like a manageable community where you know your neighbours, you are better off here than in the large complexes further along the coast. Completion is planned for July 2027, so you are buying off-plan.
The layout is classic for a small building. On the ground floor the apartments have their own garden, on the first and second floors a terrace. At the top are the penthouses with a private solarium, where you can optionally have a pool installed. The basement has 32 parking spaces, twice as many as there are homes. Our data lists two available homes: a first-floor 2-bedroom apartment of 79 m² with a 14 m² terrace for €428,000, and a 3-bedroom penthouse of 87 m² with a 64 m² terrace for €790,000.
For residents there is a communal room that works as a living room, with a small kitchen, wifi and a terrace. Outside are communal gardens and a saltwater pool. The building is gated, has a lift and every home gets a storage room.

Kool Torremolinos in figures
The most striking figure is the jump between the two homes. For one extra bedroom and the penthouse's large terrace you pay €362,000 more: €428,000 versus €790,000. Per m² that goes from €5,418 to €9,080, with a median of €7,249. That is 22% above the new-build median in Torremolinos (€5,962, 6 developments) and 73% above resale homes in Torremolinos (€4,199 per m², Idealista, September 2026). The €428,000 apartment costs around €483,736 all in: €42,800 VAT, €5,136 stamp duty, €2,600 notary and €5,200 lawyer's fees. Outdoor space, on the other hand, is generous: an average of 46% of the built area, better than 83% of the developments in our comparison.

Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current listings of 6 new developments in Torremolinos and the average asking price of resale homes in Torremolinos according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
The building is in a quiet residential area at around 41 metres above sea level, on the side of Torremolinos that borders Benalmádena. As a result, your everyday reference point is Benalmádena marina rather than the centre of Torremolinos. Torremolinos itself is a popular place to winter, with an international crowd, the fish restaurants of La Carihuela and a mild winter. El Pinillo station takes you by commuter train to the airport, María Zambrano station and Málaga city centre.
Day to day, the Lidl is a 4-minute walk away. Malapesquera beach is 16 minutes on foot and Benalmádena marina 12 minutes. Benalmádena hospital is a 9-minute drive. Allow 20 minutes to Málaga airport, 24 minutes to Málaga city centre and 19 minutes to Fuengirola.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 6:59 on 21 June and sets at 21:39, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Kool Torremolinos sits at around 41 metres above sea level.
Our data does not confirm sea views for the available homes. The description refers to an orientation with beautiful sunsets; the view is probably widest from the penthouse solarium, but we check this for each home based on the plan and floor.
Homes and finishes
The technical package is modern. The homes are cooled and heated via radiant floors, with heat from aerothermal energy, an efficient heat-pump system. There is also air conditioning, and the energy rating is B. The sales description mentions eco-friendly building materials, large windows and a layout in which the terrace extends the living room. We request the specification and plans to check which brands and finishes are in the contract, and we verify whether the option of a pool on the solarium is priced in advance and technically provided for.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Kool Torremolinos through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Kool Torremolinos
Strengths
- Only 16 homes: a quiet, manageable building with few neighbours.
- Benalmádena marina a 12-minute walk away, Lidl 4 minutes.
- Generous outdoor space, with a 64 m² terrace on the penthouse.
- Aerothermal energy and underfloor cooling, an efficient and quiet climate system.
- 32 parking spaces for 16 homes, so room for a second car.
- Málaga airport a 20-minute drive away.
Points to consider
- Completion not until July 2027; you make stage payments during construction.
- Price per m² is 22% above the new-build median in Torremolinos.
- A 3-bedroom penthouse on 87 m² built means compact rooms.
- No confirmed sea views for the available homes.
- Beach a 16-minute walk away, not right on the sea.
Who is Kool Torremolinos right for?
Kool Torremolinos suits buyers who prefer a small building to a large resort and want the marina, restaurants and the train within walking distance. The apartment suits a couple who want to winter here, the penthouse those who live largely outdoors. Less suitable for families looking for spacious bedrooms or anyone wanting to move in straight away.
