Castillo de San Carlos offers a rare opportunity in one of Torremolinos’ most iconic and exclusive residential communities: a fourth-floor apartment with generous proportions, a large terrace and spectacular panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the coastline.
From the principal living areas and the terrace, the vista stretches almost uninterrupted across the sea, the beaches of Torremolinos and the Costa del Sol coastline, making this outlook one of the property’s defining features. The floor plan is exceptionally generous, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a separate kitchen with utility room, a spacious main living room, a second lounge and a 36.51 m² terrace.
A substantial 10.62 m² entrance hall organises the home clearly into social and private areas. The main living area stands out for its proportions: the 40.56 m² principal living room is complemented by a second lounge of 19.37 m², creating a versatile social space.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light and the blue of the Mediterranean into the interior, while direct access to the terrace allows indoor and outdoor living to flow almost seamlessly together.
The current layout provides ample room for several distinct living and dining areas, while the generous proportions and thoughtful distribution open up excellent possibilities for a modern renovation, including the creation of a striking open-plan space with sea views. The private quarters consist of four well-sized bedrooms, with the principal bedroom measuring 21.26 m² and the others offering 18.22 m², 13.80 m² and 15.07 m² respectively.
As shown in the photographs, these rooms are bright, featuring extensive fitted wardrobes and large windows, and the principal bedroom enjoys a particularly sought-after position along the sea-facing façade, with direct views and close access to the terrace.
The property includes three bathrooms, sized at 5.00 m², 7.41 m² and 3.58 m² according to the floor plan, with marble finishes, large mirrors and matching marble countertops that retain the classic elegance of a home originally built to an impressive standard. A standout feature is the kitchen, an exceptional 23.60 m², complemented by a separate utility room of 7.43 m².
These generous dimensions allow for considerable flexibility, whether keeping a large independent family kitchen or integrating the space into a more contemporary layout as part of a future renovation suited to modern living. Yet it is upon stepping outside that the property’s truly special character becomes clear.
The apartment offers a magnificent 36.51 m² terrace running along the main façade, a genuine balcony over the Mediterranean from which to appreciate sweeping views of the Torremolinos coastline. Its elevated position provides a sweeping panorama encompassing the sea, the beach, the promenade, and the beautifully maintained communal gardens and swimming pools.
The terrace, generous in size, easily accommodates a substantial outdoor dining area, several relaxation zones, and landscaped greenery, a setting designed to fully enjoy the Costa del Sol climate for much of the year, whether for breakfast overlooking the Mediterranean, entertaining, or simply watching the horizon.
Castillo de San Carlos represents a style of residential living increasingly rare on the Costa del Sol: large residences, expansive terraces, mature gardens and pools in an elevated position virtually overlooking the Mediterranean, yet just minutes from central Torremolinos. The photographs highlight the beautifully kept communal gardens, palm-fringed swimming pools, and above all, the extraordinary connection between the development and the sea.
The property retains a distinctive classic character, offering a compelling opportunity for buyers who appreciate not only its exceptional dimensions and location but also its considerable potential for transformation into a sophisticated contemporary home.
A carefully considered renovation enhancing its generous interiors, the flow between living areas and terrace, and the remarkable sea views could turn this residence into one of those truly distinctive properties rarely available in Torremolinos. An exceptional home defined by its size, privileged position, and breathtaking views, set within one of the coast’s most recognisable residential enclaves, a true private balcony over the Mediterranean.
Two parking spaces and a storage room are included.
