Why move to Riviera del Sol
Move here for the beautiful climate and views, excellent amenities including easy access to the beach plus close proximity to a wide range of fantastic days out.
Close to the popular coastal resorts of Fuengirola and Marbella lies Riviera del Sol, a modern urbanisation located just a few minutes walk from the beach. This beach is less busy than others on the Costa del Sol and if you get peckish there is a little chiringuito or beach cafe, where food and drinks are served most of the day.
This urbanisation puts you in good proximity to lots of activities and great days out. Glitzy Marbella, with its designer shops, excellent restaurants and fabulous nightlife, is just a short 15 minute drive away. Fuengirola is a 10 minute drive, where you can take advantage of its own excellent beaches in addition to a zoo, an aqua park and several cinemas – great news if you have little ones to entertain.
