This apartment is situated within the South Residences phase of the Higuerón Resort, located on the border of Benalmádena and Fuengirola. The property occupies the fifth floor, featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms across a constructed area of 129 square metres. It includes a private jacuzzi on the south-facing terrace and is part of a gated community with 24-hour security. The unit is delivered with high specifications, including Italian design kitchens and comprehensive home automation.
Compared to developments such as Alba Benalmadena and Stella 8, this project commands a higher price point, beginning at €799,000. This premium is attributed to the inclusion of luxury resort amenities like the beach club and spa, which are not present in standard residential complexes. While Astrid in Benalmádena offers a lower entry price, South Residences provides a more comprehensive service-oriented lifestyle. The location on the Benalmádena-Fuengirola border offers a different dynamic compared to the more centralised urban locations of other projects, providing a balance of accessibility and resort seclusion.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is positioned between the municipalities of Benalmádena and Fuengirola, offering a coastal setting near the A-7 motorway. The resort is situated on a hillside, providing elevation and sea views. The immediate area connects the wider Costa del Sol region, with the train station at Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel providing a link to Málaga.
The layout addresses the need for modern, low-maintenance living with an open-plan design. The inclusion of a private jacuzzi and spacious terrace caters to outdoor leisure requirements. Technical features such as aerothermal air conditioning and underfloor heating provide year-round climate control. The provision of two parking spaces and a storage room satisfies practical storage needs.
The project is classified as new construction, with an indicative completion date set for 2026. The building incorporates contemporary architectural standards, including lift access and energy-efficient systems. The units are delivered fully furnished and decorated, reducing the requirement for immediate additional fitting out.
The terrain features an 8.2% slope towards the beach, which may impact pedestrian mobility. As an apartment, it does not offer a private garden, relying on communal areas. The resort location implies obligatory community fees for the maintenance of shared facilities. The proximity to the motorway and railway may entail ambient noise in certain areas.
This property suits buyers seeking a secondary residence with rental potential or a permanent home requiring minimal maintenance. It is appropriate for individuals who prioritise access to leisure facilities such as pools, spas, and paddle tennis. The location is also relevant for those who require frequent transport links to Málaga city or the airport via the nearby train station. It may not suit those requiring a large private plot or ground-floor accessibility.
The apartment features an Italian-designed kitchen equipped with Dekton worktops, ensuring durability and a modern aesthetic. Technical installations include underfloor heating throughout and an aerothermal air conditioning system for efficiency. Full home automation is integrated to control lighting and climate. Flooring and joinery are selected to meet contemporary standards. The terrace includes a pre-installed private jacuzzi, with plumbing and electrical connections prepared for ease of use.
Prices start from €799,000 for these deluxe units, positioning them at the higher end of the local market spectrum. The cost includes premium finishes, furnishings, and two parking spaces. The price point reflects the resort status and the specific sea views offered by the Darko block. Availability is subject to the release schedule of the South Residences phase.
Daily life in this location revolves around the resort amenities and the coastal climate. The south-facing terrace captures sunlight for a significant portion of the day, suitable for outdoor dining. Residents have access to on-site fitness facilities, reducing the need for external gym memberships. The immediate vicinity contains a high density of restaurants and cafes, facilitating social dining without long travel. The location is practical for those seeking a lock-up-and-leave residence due to security and management services.
The environment is characterised by a mix of residential tourism and permanent living. The resort creates a self-contained ecosystem with restaurants and sports facilities. The surrounding area of Benalmádena and Fuengirola offers extensive commercial zones, including the Carvajal area nearby. Infrastructure supports high connectivity, with the A-7 motorway accessible within minutes, facilitating travel along the coast.
