Reforma de cocina en Torremolinos: perfil habitual
Torremolinos tiene un volumen muy alto de apartamentos construidos en las décadas de los 60, 70 y 80, especialmente en zonas como La Carihuela, Playamar y El Pinillo. Muchas de estas cocinas no se han actualizado desde la construcción original: distribuciones poco funcionales, muebles deteriorados, instalaciones eléctricas y de fontanería que no cumplen los estándares actuales. La reforma de cocina en estos apartamentos suele implicar un cambio completo: distribución, muebles, encimera, electrodomésticos y renovación de las instalaciones. También es frecuente la reforma parcial para actualizar los acabados sin cambiar la distribución.
Qué incluye una reforma de cocina completa
Una reforma completa de cocina incluye la demolición de la cocina existente, la actualización de las instalaciones de fontanería y electricidad, la instalación de los nuevos muebles y encimera, el alicatado o pintura de paredes, el solado si es necesario, y la instalación de electrodomésticos. Coordinamos todos los gremios: carpintería, fontanería, electricidad y alicatado. El propietario no tiene que gestionar a profesionales por separado.
Gestión para propietarios no presentes
En Torremolinos es habitual trabajar con propietarios que tienen el apartamento como segunda residencia o alquiler vacacional y no pueden estar presentes durante la reforma. Nos encargamos de toda la gestión: coordinamos los gremios, controlamos el avance y mantenemos al propietario informado. También coordinamos la recepción de materiales y el acceso al apartamento, adaptándonos a las normativas de cada comunidad.
A kitchen is the renovation with the highest return in a Costa del Sol home: it concentrates plumbing, electrics, ventilation and bespoke joinery into a few square metres, so it demands precise planning. We redesign the layout to gain working area, open the kitchen to the living room where the partition allows it, and fit Silestone quartz, Dekton or porcelain worktops suited to the coastal climate. Our own team, a 5-year guarantee and project management in Spanish and English.
The three decisions that shape the project
The worktop. Silestone quartz offers consistency and low maintenance; Dekton and porcelain withstand heat, scratching and sunlight, making them the choice for islands and kitchens opening onto a terrace; granite and marble bring natural character but need periodic sealing.
Opening up to the living room. Not every partition can be removed: if it is load-bearing a beam or lintel calculated by an engineer is required, and in apartment blocks, formal authorisation.
The island. It means running plumbing and electrics through the floor, which usually requires a raised screed or a raised access floor, and that has to be decided before levelling.
On the coast there are two further checks: ventilation and extraction, to prevent damp and condensation caused by salt air, and the contracted electricity supply — a kitchen with an induction hob, oven and dishwasher may require an increase from 3.45 to 5.75 kW.
A full kitchen renovation usually takes 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the wet trades and the lead time for the worktop and bespoke units. The 5-year guarantee covers labour and installations, not just the manufacturer's materials.
The step-by-step process, the cabinet and appliance brands and the full schedule are set out in the guide to kitchen renovation on the Costa del Sol.
What a kitchen renovation in Torremolinos involves
Nearly every kitchen in Torremolinos raises the same question: can it be opened up to the living room? The 1960s and 70s apartment stock was designed with the kitchen closed off behind a partition wall, and in most cases that wall is not load-bearing. It still has to be checked first: it has to be checked building by building, because different developments were built to different solutions.
The second constraint is the extraction duct. In blocks from that period the extraction runs up a vertical shaft shared with the rest of the column of flats, which limits where the hood can go. When the kitchen moves to a different wall and the hood can no longer reach that shaft, we fit a recirculating hood with a carbon filter: it allows the layout to change without touching the building's shared column. Best resolved before choosing units, not after.
The third is the building community. Almost no kitchen renovation in Torremolinos happens in a detached house: it happens in a block with working hours, lift access and protection of communal areas. That shapes the schedule. The notice to the building administrator is submitted by the owner; if they would rather not deal with it, we can handle that paperwork as a separate service.
And a fourth is specific to this area: many of these kitchens are renovated to be rented out. That changes the decisions — worktops that withstand high turnover, more storage, appliances that are simple to maintain — and it is worth deciding before finalising materials.
How much a kitchen costs in Torremolinos
A complete kitchen starts at €9,000. The final price depends on the size and the quality of the materials; the workmanship is the same in every case, because we work with our own team. A mid-to-high specification kitchen opened to the living room sits between €12,000 and €25,000.
Renovating in Torremolinos: local context
Torremolinos was the epicentre of the Costa del Sol tourism boom in the 1960s, and that history shapes every renovation carried out here today. Unlike Marbella or Estepona, much of the housing stock consists of apartments from the 60s, 70s and 80s built for summer holidays: heavily compartmentalised layouts, closed kitchens, obsolete electrical wiring and original bathrooms. Renovating in Torremolinos usually means modernising that holiday property —opening up spaces, renewing installations and improving energy efficiency— to turn it into a competitive rental asset or a genuinely liveable home. At Costa del Sol Reformas we understand the town's specifics: the salt air of La Carihuela, the Playamar towers and the villas of Montemar. With our own in-house team, project management in Spanish and English and a 5-year guarantee, we deliver full renovations designed for this particular market.
Where we work: La Carihuela, Playamar, Montemar, El Calvario / Centro, El Pinillo, Los Álamos.
