This completed three-bedroom apartment forms part of the Aura II development in the elevated Higuerón area of Benalmádena, on the Costa del Sol between Torremolinos and Fuengirola. The property offers 170 m² of living space with a south orientation and an 82 m² private terrace with outdoor kitchen, overlooking the bay of Fuengirola. The boutique development of 33 apartments includes two outdoor pools, a gym and a spa. Benalmádena Pueblo and the coast are within short reach, and Málaga Airport lies approximately 9 km away. The asking price is €1,195,000.
Within Benalmádena itself, this property sits alongside Marina Golden Bay (from €998,000) and Macan Beach Residences (from €1,040,000). Both comparables occupy the same municipal market, though their positioning differs: Marina Golden Bay lies closer to the marina and seafront, while this property's Higuerón location trades immediate beach proximity for elevation, views and access to resort sports facilities. At €1,195,000 for 170 m², the unit is priced above both local comparables, which correlates with its completed status, terrace dimensions and boutique scale. Further afield, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts from €524,600, illustrating the price gradient along the coast: Estepona lies roughly 60 km west, further from the airport but with newer large-scale development and lower entry prices. Benalmádena's central position between Málaga and Fuengirola, its year-round population of 78,338 and its train connection distinguish it from more seasonal western resorts. The municipality's 2,299 recorded transactions indicate liquid resale conditions relative to smaller towns. Buyers weighing this property against beachfront alternatives should consider the 8.2% slope between the Higuerón area and the shore: the straight-line distance to Playa Malapesquera is only 229 m, but the walking route is longer and steeper. Conversely, the elevation provides the bay views and relative quiet that seafront units on the same budget in this postcode may not offer. The combination of completed delivery, spa facilities and resort-adjacent location positions this listing in the upper segment of the Benalmádena market, below Marbella pricing but above the Costa del Sol median.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the upper residential zone of Benalmádena, roughly 12 km west of Málaga. The location combines elevated sea views with access to the A7 coastal motorway. Beaches such as Playa Malapesquera and Playa de Santa Ana are within walking distance, and a supermarket, pharmacy and train station are nearby. The gradient towards the beach is steep at 8.2%.
Construction is completed, allowing immediate inspection of the finished building and its materials rather than reliance on plans. The stated completion date of 2026 serves as an indicative registration reference. The development comprises 33 apartments with communal facilities already in place, including two outdoor pools, a gym and a spa with sauna and heated indoor pool.
The property does not include a private pool; pool facilities are communal. No private garden is part of the unit, and parking arrangements are not specified in the available data. The steep 8.2% gradient towards the beach may affect walking routes for some residents. The nearest electric vehicle charging point listed is approximately 7 km away.
This property suits buyers seeking a completed, turn-key home rather than an off-plan purchase with a waiting period. The three-bedroom layout with ensuite bathroom and storage room supports both permanent relocation and extended family stays, while the south orientation and terrace suit seasonal use during the roughly four-month swimming season and the milder winter months at an average annual temperature of 18.6°C. It fits households that value walkable access to sports and dining facilities within the Higuerón resort environment, combined with train connectivity at Arroyo de la Miel for journeys to Málaga or Fuengirola. Buyers requiring a completely flat route to the beach should note the steep gradient. The property is less suited to those seeking a private pool or a large private garden, since pool facilities are communal and outdoor space is confined to the terrace. For international buyers, the 9 km distance to Málaga Airport shortens travel logistics considerably compared with more westerly Costa del Sol locations. Households with children will find seven schools within a 2 km radius and thirteen primary schools across the municipality, alongside eleven secondary schools.
The building is documented as completed in excellent condition, which allows the finishes to be verified on site. Interior climate systems include hot and cold air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a combination that addresses both summer cooling and winter comfort in a coastal climate where winter nights can fall below terrace-friendly temperatures. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom. The terrace is covered in part and fitted with a barbecue and an outdoor kitchen, extending the usable season of the exterior space. A jacuzzi is installed on the terrace. The building is served by a lift, and a storage room is included with the unit. Fibre optic connectivity is present, supporting remote work and streaming. Communal facilities comprise two outdoor pools, a gym and a spa with sauna and heated indoor pool, the latter extending swimming beyond the natural season. An energy efficiency certificate is not stated in the available data and should be requested from the vendor. Given the completion status, snagging lists are largely redundant, though buyers may still commission an independent technical inspection to verify installation quality and documentation before completion of purchase.
The asking price is €1,195,000 for the completed 170 m² apartment, equivalent to approximately €7,030 per m² of built area. Within Benalmádena, comparable new-build projects include Marina Golden Bay from €998,000 and Macan Beach Residences from €1,040,000, placing this property at the upper end of the local range. The price reflects the completed status, the boutique scale of 33 apartments and the terrace size of 82 m². Availability should be confirmed directly, as completed units in small developments may be limited in number.
Daily life at this address is shaped by its elevated position above the Benalmádena coast. Mornings can begin on the south-facing terrace, where the outdoor kitchen and jacuzzi make the 82 m² surface usable for most of the year given the region's 3,888 recorded annual sunshine hours. Inside, the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area connects directly to this outdoor space, which suits both permanent residence and extended seasonal stays. The surrounding Higuerón area provides walkable access to sports facilities including padel, tennis and basketball courts, together with cafés and restaurants ranging from informal venues to the Michelin-starred Sollo. Everyday practicalities are close at hand: a supermarket lies 245 m away, a pharmacy 402 m, and the Benalmádena, Arroyo de la Miel train station approximately 1 km distant, offering a car-free connection along the coast. The steep gradient towards the shore means the 229 m straight-line distance to Playa Malapesquera translates into a longer walk on foot, which residents should factor into daily routines. Out of the summer season, Benalmádena retains a substantial year-round population of around 78,000, so restaurants, services and the two nearby health centres continue operating through winter. The A7 motorway is accessible within minutes, linking the address to Málaga Airport in roughly fifteen minutes by car and to Fuengirola and Torremolinos in either direction.
The immediate environment combines a residential hillside setting with an unusually dense service provision. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists 186 restaurants, 48 cafés, 28 pharmacies, 23 banks and 7 schools, meaning daily errands rarely require a car. The nearest supermarket is 245 m away and the nearest pharmacy 402 m. Healthcare is available at two health centres in the municipality, with a hospital 3.4 km from the property. Public transport comprises 8 lines with 15 stops in the vicinity, and the Cercanías train from Arroyo de la Miel station, roughly 1 km away, runs along the coast to Málaga and Fuengirola. The terrain slopes at 8.2% towards the sea, so walking to Playa Malapesquera involves a descent and return climb; many residents use the car or local transport for beach trips despite the short straight-line distance. Sports facilities within 1.1 km include an ice rink at Club Municipal de Hielo, the Club de Raqueta and the Polideportivo Arroyo de la Miel, complementing 219 registered sports facilities across the municipality.
The map shows the property's position in the elevated Higuerón area of Benalmádena, with the coastline, beaches and the Arroyo de la Miel train station all within a short radius. The A7 motorway corridor connecting Málaga and Fuengirola is visible to the east, illustrating the accessibility that balances the hillside setting.

Benalmádena records 3,888 sunshine hours per year historically, a figure consistent with the Costa del Sol's reputation as one of southern Europe's sunniest coastlines. The average annual temperature is 18.6°C, and sea temperatures of 20°C or above persist for approximately four months, defining the principal swimming season. The property stands at approximately 54 m above sea level, which produces the sea and bay views while creating the 8.2% slope towards the coast. The elevated position provides some separation from the busiest seafront zones while retaining visual connection to the Mediterranean. Viewpoints in the surrounding hills, including Mirador Los Cañones at 2.6 km, offer walking destinations with panoramas over the coastline. The climate supports year-round terrace use, though the heated indoor pool in the development's spa compensates outside the natural swimming season.
