A fully furnished two-bedroom apartment within the Higuerón South Residences, on the grounds of Higuerón Resort between Benalmádena and Fuengirola. The property offers approximately 90 m² of interior space, a south-facing terrace of around 40 m² with unobstructed views of the Mediterranean, two bathrooms, two underground parking spaces and a private storage room. Sold with a valid tourist licence and completed in 2025, it is key-ready and can be occupied or used for rental immediately. The asking price is fixed at €785,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the hills directly above the Fuengirola coastline at about 119 metres elevation, roughly 1.1 km as the crow flies from Playa Bonita. The Cercanías train stations of Torremuelle and Carvajal are 0.6 km and 3.0 km away respectively, connecting the area with Fuengirola and Málaga. Málaga city lies 22 km and Málaga airport about 12 km in a straight line.
The home is arranged for low-maintenance coastal living: a bright open-plan living-dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a roughly 40 m² south-facing terrace reached from the living room and one bedroom. The apartment stands at street and pool level with barrier-free access, while the natural slope of the plot preserves the sea view. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and air conditioning provide year-round comfort.
Construction of the residence is complete, with delivery indicated as 2025; this date is indicative. The property is key-ready and sold fully furnished, including Italian kitchen units with Dekton worktops, home automation, an alarm system and an aerothermal system for heating, cooling and hot water. Two underground parking spaces, a storage room and an electric vehicle charging point are included.
The property has two bedrooms and approximately 90 m² of interior space, which limits its suitability for larger households. There is no private pool; communal facilities serve the complex. The plot slopes towards the sea with a gradient of around 9.9% to the beach, so walking to the coast involves an incline. The mid-terrace position means orientation is fixed south, and the rental history is specific to the tourist licence that comes with the property.
This property fits a buyer who wants a home that works from day one. The apartment is fully furnished, key-ready and registered for tourist rental, so it suits someone combining personal use with short-term letting, or an investor who wants to continue the existing rental activity without renovation or furnishing costs. The reported occupancy of close to 95% during the summer 2026 peak season is a factual data point from the current operation, though future performance depends on management and market conditions. It also suits buyers with limited mobility or simply a preference for easy access: the entrance, parking and pool are all on one level, with elevator access from the garage. A car remains practical for the beach and larger shopping trips, but the nearby train station at Torremuelle and seven local bus lines mean a car-free stay is realistic for weeks at a time. The property is less obvious for families needing three or more bedrooms, or for buyers seeking a detached villa with private pool and garden. It is equally less suited to those wanting absolute quiet year-round: the Higuerón area is a well-established residential hillside with a strong seasonal flow of visitors, and the coastal towns of Fuengirola and Benalmádena generate steady activity in summer. For a buyer weighing a lock-up-and-leave second home with income potential against a permanent family residence, the two-bedroom layout and resort setting point clearly towards the first profile.
The specification is consistent with a recent high-standard development. The kitchen is Italian-made with Dekton worktops, a compact sintered-stone surface known for heat and stain resistance, which suits both private use and rental turnover. The living-dining area is open-plan, and the interior photographs show a double-sink modern bathroom and an open living space with direct terrace access, matching the described layout. Climate control is layered rather than single-system: hot and cold air conditioning covers the main rooms, underfloor heating runs in the bathrooms, and the aerothermal unit supplies efficient heating, cooling and domestic hot water from one installation. Aerothermal technology extracts heat from outside air, which on the Costa del Sol significantly reduces energy consumption compared with electric or gas water heating, a relevant consideration given year-round rental use. Security and convenience systems include an alarm, home automation for lighting and climate control, and elevator access from the underground garage, where two parking spaces, a storage room and an electric vehicle charging point belong to the property. A Fuengirola Supercharger sits 2.6 km away as the crow flies for faster charging on longer journeys. The building was completed in 2025, so the construction, installations and finishes are current, with the developer's residential transport service available to owners within the resort grounds. Communal areas include outdoor pools and a children's pool; details of the full facility offering can be confirmed during a viewing.
The asking price is fixed at €785,000 for the apartment as a whole, including furniture, two underground parking spaces, a private storage room and the electric vehicle charging point. Because this is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build price list, there is no range of unit prices; the figure applies to this specific property with its corner position, sea views and rental registrations. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast advertise from prices between roughly €205,000 and €321,000, but those concern smaller or inland units without a tourist licence or established occupancy record, so a direct price comparison per square metre says little about the value of a turnkey, licensed rental asset in this location.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around the terrace and the resort-style communal grounds. The roughly 40 m² south-facing terrace receives sun through most of the day, and both the living room and one bedroom open directly onto it, which makes outdoor dining, sunbathing and evening relaxation part of the normal routine rather than an occasional event. Inside, the layout is compact and functional: a combined living-dining room with an open-plan Italian kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms complementing the hot and cold air conditioning. Because the apartment sits at street and pool level, access is step-free from the street, an unusual feature in a development built on a sloping plot. Most residents of hillside urbanisations here rely on lifts and long paths to reach their front door; here the car, the entrance and the communal pool are all on one level, while the elevation still delivers the sea view across the Mediterranean. The surroundings support a settled but tourist-influenced rhythm. Within two kilometres there are sixteen restaurants, nine cafés and two pharmacies, so shopping and dining out do not require a long drive. The Torremuelle train station is only 0.6 km away as the crow flies, giving car-free access to Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga. The nearest beach, Playa Bonita, lies 1.1 km in a straight line; given the slope, most residents drive or take the local transport rather than walk down. The property already holds a tourist licence, so the apartment can also be operated as a short-term rental without further works.
The Higuerón urbanisation occupies the hillside between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, roughly 1.1 to 1.3 km as the crow flies from three beaches: Playa Bonita, Playa de Arroyo Hondo and Playa Las Viborillas. The gradient down to the coast measures about 9.9%, which explains why the development enjoys its views and why most residents use a car or the resort's transport for beach trips. On foot, the immediate surroundings offer the resort's own facilities plus the restaurants, cafés and pharmacies of the lower urbanisation. Daily errands are well covered: within two kilometres there are sixteen restaurants, nine cafés and two pharmacies, and two health centres serve the wider area. Families find thirteen primary schools and eleven secondary schools nearby, a density that reflects the permanent population of the coastal strip rather than tourism alone. Tourism is nonetheless substantial, with 24 hotels and over 11,000 beds in the district, which supports the short-term rental market and keeps restaurants and services open through the shoulder seasons. The area recorded 2,299 housing transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid local market. Public transport consists of seven lines with fifty stops, and the Cercanías rail stations at Torremuelle (0.6 km), Carvajal (3.0 km) and Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel (3.1 km), all straight-line distances, link the hillside directly with the coast and Málaga city.
The map shows the apartment's position on the Higuerón hillside above the Fuengirola coast, about 1.1 km as the crow flies from Playa Bonita. The railway line, the coastal motorway and the beaches of Benalmádena and Fuengirola are all visible within a narrow band below the urbanisation, illustrating how the sea, transport and town facilities cluster within a few kilometres.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Higuerón occupies the hillside between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, roughly midway along the central Costa del Sol. Málaga city and its airport lie to the east at 22 km and about 12 km straight-line respectively; Marbella is 27 km to the west. This places the property in one of the better-connected sections of the coast, with both the provincial capital and the Marbella district within easy reach. The area belongs to a continuous urban strip of permanent residences, hotels and resort developments, which distinguishes it from quieter inland villages and from the more seasonal developments further east.
Accessibility is one of the location's practical strengths. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies about 12 km away as the crow flies, making flight connections short for international owners; Gibraltar airport is roughly 85 km and Alicante around 401 km in a straight line. Málaga city centre is 22 km and Marbella 27 km away in a straight line, so both are realistic destinations for a day out, with actual road distances longer. By train, Torremuelle station is only 0.6 km away in a straight line and connects westwards to Fuengirola and eastwards through Benalmádena to Málaga. Seven bus lines with fifty stops serve the local area, which reduces dependence on a car for routine trips. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 run below the hillside, giving quick access along the coast. Recreational facilities are close: Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt at 1.9 km, the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course at 8.4 km and Lauro Golf at 9.0 km, all straight-line. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina is 6.7 km away, and sports facilities include Club Hockey Benalmádena (1.1 km), Club de Raqueta (3.0 km) and an ice rink (3.4 km).

The apartment stands at about 119 metres above sea level on a south-facing hillside, an elevation that delivers the unobstructed sea view and adds mountain views towards the interior. The average annual temperature in the area is 17.9°C, typical of the western Costa del Sol, with mild winters and warm summers moderated by the sea breeze. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or more, lasts around four months, concentrated between June and early October. The gradient towards the beach of about 9.9% shapes the immediate landscape: terraced slopes, mature planting and viewpoints rather than flat promenades. Two formal viewpoints, Mirador del Madroño (4.6 km) and Mirador del Lobo (5.0 km) as the crow flies, mark the walking routes through the coastal hills. For daily living, the elevation means slightly cooler evenings in summer than on the seafront, while the south orientation of the terrace maximises sun hours during the shorter winter days. Outdoor use of the terrace is realistic for most of the year, which is precisely what the layout, with its direct access from two rooms, is designed around.

Three beaches lie within about 1.3 km as the crow flies: Playa Bonita (1.1 km), Playa de Arroyo Hondo (1.2 km) and Playa Las Viborillas (1.3 km). Because of the hillside gradient, these are usually reached by car, by the resort transport or via a walk back up the slope. The beaches along this stretch of the Fuengirola-Benalmádena coast are sandy and serviced, with chiringuitos and water sports in season. Golf is well represented nearby: Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt sits 1.9 km away for short practice rounds, while the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course (8.4 km) and Lauro Golf (9.0 km), both straight-line, offer full 18-hole layouts. For other sports, Club Hockey Benalmádena is 1.1 km away, Club de Raqueta 3.0 km and the municipal ice rink 3.4 km, an unusually varied set of facilities within a few minutes' drive. Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (6.7 km) provides marina berths, boat trips and a lively restaurant scene. Electric-vehicle owners can use the apartment's own charging point or the Fuengirola Supercharger 2.6 km away in a straight line. The combination of beach, golf and marina access within a short radius is the core of the recreational offer at this location.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a specific niche: a completed, licensed and furnished apartment inside an established resort, rather than an off-plan unit. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast show the price spread of the wider region. Aquamar in Torre del Mar advertises from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950. Those developments typically involve smaller units, delivery years away, and locations further from the central coast. The fixed asking price of €785,000 for this apartment reflects a different proposition: immediate availability, roughly 130 m² of combined interior and terrace space, two parking spaces, a storage room, and a functioning rental operation with reported summer occupancy near 95% in 2026. Locationally, Higuerón sits in the densest section of the Costa del Sol between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, roughly 22 km from Málaga and 27 km from Marbella as the crow flies. This central position, combined with the train line 0.6 km away, gives it an accessibility profile that eastern developments such as Torre del Mar cannot match, while Estepona lies over an hour's drive further west. The trade-off is intensity: the district contains 24 hotels and more than 11,000 tourist beds, so summer traffic and seasonal crowding are part of the deal, whereas inland Mijas or Estepona developments offer more tranquillity at the cost of longer distances to airport and beaches. Buyers comparing this apartment with new-build alternatives are therefore weighing turnkey certainty and rental income against lower entry prices and brand-new construction without a rental history.
