About Kosmos
Of the six new builds in Torremolinos that we follow, Kosmos is the cheapest per m². That is striking, because every home in our data has sea views and an A energy rating. The project sits 104 metres above sea level, on a slope at the edge of the Pinar del Moro pine forest, in the neighbourhood around the Torremolinos fairground. It has 104 apartments in total. Prices in our list range from €405,000 to €531,000, and completion is planned for September 2028.
You choose from apartments with 2 or 3 bedrooms, always with 2 bathrooms, one of them en suite. The entry-level option is an 84 m² ground-floor apartment with a 21 m² terrace for €405,000. With 3 bedrooms you get 117 m² and a 17 m² terrace for €493,000, or 113 m² with a 35 m² terrace for €531,000. The fifth-floor penthouse is interesting: 2 bedrooms, 89 m², a 38 m² terrace and a 23 m² solarium, for €481,000.
The complex is gated and has a lift. Inside there will be a spa with a heated pool, sauna and showers, a gym and a coworking space with its own kitchenette. According to another source, there is also an outdoor pool, a play area and a range of sustainable features such as green roofs, solar panels for the common areas and rainwater harvesting. Each home gets a parking space and a storage room.

Kosmos in figures
In our comparison, Kosmos is the cheapest new build per m² in Torremolinos. The median of €4,775 per m² is 20% below that of new builds in the municipality (€5,962, 6 projects). Resale homes in Torremolinos cost €4,199 per m² (idealista, September 2026), so for new with sea views you pay 14% more. The cheapest €405,000 apartment costs around €457,660 all in: €40,500 VAT, €4,860 stamp duty, €2,400 notary and €4,900 lawyer. A third bedroom costs an extra €88,000. The drawback is timing: completion is 23 months away, while the median for other projects in the municipality is 7 months.

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
Torremolinos is the first resort west of Málaga, lively and international, with a long promenade and lots of restaurants. Kosmos is not on the seafront but higher up, at the edge of a pine forest, in a residential neighbourhood close to the fairground. As a result you look out over the town to the sea and have greenery next door. Benalmádena marina is a 6-minute drive, Málaga centre 22. For golfers, the Miguel Ángel Jiménez golf course is 8 minutes away.
In daily life you have options. Carrefour is a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute drive. La Carihuela beach is 24 minutes away on foot, though the way back is uphill, or 6 minutes by car. Hospital Marítimo is a 9-minute drive. Málaga airport is 18 minutes away, a real plus if you travel back and forth often.

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. Kosmos sits at around 104 metres above sea level.
Every home in our data has sea views, including those on the ground floor, thanks to the location at 104 metres. On the other side you look out on the pine forest. We check on the plan how wide the sea view is for each home.
Homes and finishes
According to another source, the homes get porcelain or natural stone floors, floor-to-ceiling aluminium windows, designer kitchens with built-in appliances and bathrooms with a rain shower and heated towel rail. Heating and cooling run on aerothermal energy, and there is home automation for lighting, climate and security, with pre-installation for charging an electric car in the garage. Underfloor heating is only in some homes. The energy rating is A. We check which finishes are standard and which cost extra, and whether that is in the contract.
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 Kosmos through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Kosmos
Strengths
- Cheapest new build per m² in Torremolinos, 20% below the municipal median.
- Sea views from every home in our data, including on the ground floor.
- Málaga airport 18 minutes away, ideal for short stays.
- Penthouse with solarium for €481,000, cheaper than some 3-bedroom apartments.
- A energy rating and a heated indoor pool for the winter.
Points to consider
- Completion not until September 2028, much later than the 7-month median in Torremolinos.
- The beach is a 24-minute walk, and the way back is uphill.
- Small terraces with some homes, 14 to 21 m² with the 2-bedroom apartments.
- Another source mentions a 5-minute walk to the beach; our measurement says 24.
Who is Kosmos right for?
Kosmos suits those who want to live close to Málaga and the airport and are looking for a new apartment with sea views without the prices of the western Costa del Sol. It is also a logical choice for those who want to swim in winter or work from Spain. It is less suitable for those who want the keys soon, who expect the beach to be a few minutes' walk away or who value a large terrace.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.
