Villas Bellagio represents a new development of detached villas in Benalmádena, Málaga. The project distinguishes itself through a modern architectural style with a focus on open spaces and the integration of indoor and outdoor living. The villas are designed as independent residences with a focus on privacy and natural light. Located in the El Higuerón district, the site offers a transition between the more urban coastal area and the hilly backdrop. Completion is scheduled for approximately the first quarter of 2027.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in El Higuerón, a neighborhood on the edge of Benalmádena. The elevated position on the hillside offers views of the coastline and surrounding nature. This location provides a connection to the coastal towns of Fuengirola and Benalmádena Pueblo. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is limited, although the elevation changes influence the walking distance. The proximity to the A-7 highway nearby facilitates access towards Málaga and the airport.
This project addresses the desire for independent living with generous living spaces. With an area of approximately 399 m² and 4 bedrooms, the villa offers space for families or residents who frequently host guests. The layout follows a concept where the kitchen and living areas merge. For those who value outdoor living, the terraces and private pool are designed as an extension of the living room. The presence of a private garage and parking on the property meets the need for private mobility.
The construction of Villas Bellagio is currently in progress. This means the structure and finishes are currently being realized. For buyers, this implies that there may still be influence on certain finishing options, depending on the construction stage. Planning anticipates handover around early 2027. Linked to this are the legal warranties for new construction in Spain, including insurance for the resolution of potential defects.
The location in El Higuerón is hilly. The road to the beach has a gradient of approximately 6.7%, which means that the walk back to the villa is a climb. Walking to the beach is possible but requires physical effort due to the elevation difference. The villas are positioned on individual plots, meaning less direct contact with neighbors but also requiring more maintenance of the outdoor space. The distance to the center of Benalmádena Pueblo is greater than to the coast, making a car necessary for visits to amenities there.

This project suits residents seeking the advantages of the Costa but not wishing to live in an apartment complex. It is suitable for families needing four bedrooms and privacy. It is also an option for those planning to relocate (part-time) to Spain looking for a modern, low-maintenance home. The location demands an active lifestyle; those who enjoy walking or cycling to the sea must account for the hills. For golfers, the location is practical due to the short distance to various courses.
The finish of the villas focuses on modern design with durable materials. The kitchen is executed as an open concept and offers a choice of worktops in resin, porcelain, or natural stone. The facades are designed with large glass fronts to maximize natural light. Flooring and sanitary ware are finished with materials resistant to daily wear. Air conditioning installations (both hot and cold) are included as standard. The pool is a saltwater bath, requiring less chlorine maintenance. In the garden, attention has been paid to planting and paving, focused on a Mediterranean aesthetic.
Prices for the villas in this project start from €3,200,000. This positions the offering in the higher segment of the real estate market in Benalmádena. The pricing reflects the combination of new build status, plot size, and sea view location. Availability depends on the specific building number and stage of completion. Purchase contracts for new construction in Spain typically require payments in installments linked to construction progress.
Living in Villas Bellagio means residing in a location that combines the bustle of the coast with the tranquility of the higher elevated area. The morning begins with sun on the terrace, followed by the option to swim in the private saltwater pool. In the afternoon, the covered terrace space provides shade. For groceries, a supermarket is located approximately 1.4 km away, requiring a car trip. The proximity to the Arroyo de la Miel train station, 800 meters away as the crow flies, makes it possible to travel along the coast by train to Málaga or Fuengirola. In the evening, the barbecue area provides a spot for outdoor dining with views of the coast's lights.
The immediate environment is characterized by a mix of residential villas and wooded hills. Within walking distance (approx. 1.3 km as the crow flies) lies Torreblanca beach, a busier part of the coast. The nearby environment offers amenities such as sports centers and public pools. Interaction with neighbors takes place in a dispersed neighborhood structure; one is less dependent on communal facilities than in an apartment complex. The atmosphere is predominantly quiet, partly because the main road is at a distance.
The map shows the positioning of Villas Bellagio in El Higuerón. The blue markers indicate the distance to the beaches of Benalmádena and Fuengirola. The orange route shows the connection to the A-7 highway and the exit to Málaga airport.
Benalmádena is located centrally on the Costa del Sol, west of Málaga. The location in El Higuerón acts as a buffer between the tourist bustle of the coast and residential areas. The project is accessed via the road towards Mijas and Fuengirola. This makes it a base for both city life in Málaga and the resorts along the coast. The strategic location near the A-7 highway makes it possible to reach other cities like Marbella or Estepona within an hour.
The nearest beaches are located at a distance of 1.3 to 1.9 kilometers (as the crow flies). Due to the slope, this is a 15-20 minute walk on foot. Málaga Airport is accessible at approximately 14 kilometers as the crow flies, amounting to a driving time of 15-20 minutes under normal traffic conditions. For daily groceries, a supermarket is 1.4 kilometers away. Golf courses such as Golf Benalmadena Pitch&Putt are 4.6 kilometers away. Accessibility by public transport is available via the Cercanías train station in Arroyo de la Miel, though the first kilometer is hilly terrain.

The climate in Benalmádena is Mediterranean with over 3,700 hours of sunshine per year. The location at 53 meters above sea level ensures a constant sea breeze. Summers are warm and dry, ideal for using the outdoor pool from May to October. Winters are mild, making use of the terraces possible for most of the year. The position on the south side of the hill ensures the villa receives a lot of direct sunlight, contributing to heating the home in winter and outdoor living in summer.

Compared to projects like '7 Diamonds' in the same region, Villas Bellagio offers a similar price class but with different architecture. Where other projects in Benalmádena sometimes come closer to the development, El Higuerón offers more privacy. Compared to apartment complexes in Fuengirola, the price per square meter is higher, but this is compensated by the degree of privacy and the presence of private outdoor space. The pricing is significantly higher than in the Málaga hinterland, justified by the view location and coastal proximity.
