New Developments in Málaga Este, Málaga

Málaga Este sits on the eastern edge of the capital, between the city centre and the coastal towns further along the coast. The area runs along both sides of the AP-7 motorway, with the beach less than two kilometres from most developments and the city centre around 11 minutes by car. The coast here is a mix of beach clubs, promenades and residential neighbourhoods, with Playa de los Baños del Carmen about four minutes away and the marina roughly 12 minutes by car. Inland the setting is more suburban, with local schools, shops and hospitals close by.

The new-build stock is sold off-plan, meaning you reserve before the building is finished and pay in stages as construction progresses. Apartments make up the majority of the supply, though townhouses and villas are also built here. Bedroom counts run from one to four, and many schemes face the sea or sit close enough to the shore to include sea views. Some developments are beachfront, others are set back a few streets or further inland towards the motorway, so the exact setting varies.

Málaga Este suits buyers looking for new-build property within reach of the city but with the beach nearby. The airport is about half an hour by car, and the city centre is close enough for work or regular visits. Golf is further out, with the nearest course around 21 minutes away, so this part of Málaga appeals more to those who prioritise the coast and the capital over golf access. Schools, supermarkets and healthcare are all within a few minutes, making the area practical for year-round living as well as holiday use.
