This key-ready corner apartment sits in the Lomas 2 development in El Higuerón, on the inland slope between Benalmádena and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. The 119 m² home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a 26 m² private terrace with views over the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains. Completed in 2024, it comes with two parking spaces and a storage room. The asking price is fixed at €699,000. The area combines residential calm with proximity to sports facilities, beaches and the Cercanías train line towards Málaga and Fuengirola.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Higuerón is a residential urbanisation on the coastal hillside between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, roughly 22 km from Málaga and 27 km from Marbella in a straight line. The nearest beach, Playa Bonita, lies 1.1 km away as the crow flies. The Torremuelle train station is 0.6 km from the complex, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 12 km in a direct line.
The apartment offers three full-size bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite to the main bedroom. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area opens onto a 26 m² terrace. Climate control includes hot and cold air conditioning, central heating and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Two parking spaces and a storage room are included in the sale.
The property was completed in 2024 and is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its finished state without waiting for construction. Delivery and completion dates are always indicative. As an existing, completed home, it is sold at a fixed asking price of €699,000 rather than a price-list structure.
The apartment is a first-floor unit in a shared urbanisation, not a detached villa with private grounds. The pool is communal. The plot is not private garden land. The slope from the urbanisation to the beach measures about 9.9%, which makes the walk back uphill demanding. Two parking spaces and a storage room are included; no further outbuildings form part of the sale.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol who want three full-size bedrooms, two bathrooms and proximity to schools will find 13 primary schools and 11 secondary schools within the wider area, along with two health centres. Buyers seeking a lock-and-leave second home benefit from the key-ready condition, the lift, the included parking and the managed urbanisation with communal pool. Investors may note the tourist licence, which opens the short-term rental market supported by the area's tourism infrastructure of 24 hotels and over 11,000 beds, plus a local market of roughly 2,299 housing transactions per year. Active residents who value sport within walking distance, the Higuerón Sport Club is about 200 metres away, and Club Hockey Benalmádena lies 1.1 km away, can build training into daily routine without driving. The property is less obvious for buyers who want a flat beachfront setting: the urbanisation sits at about 119 metres elevation with a roughly 9.9% gradient to the shore, so the beach is reached by car, bus or a steep walk. It also does not suit those seeking a detached villa with a private garden and private pool, since the outdoor space here is a terrace and the pool is communal.
The apartment was completed in 2024, which places it within the current generation of Costa del Sol residential construction. The interior photographs show an open-plan living space with pendant lighting, a modern kitchen flow into the dining and sitting areas, and a bedroom with a wooden headboard detail, indicating a contemporary, neutral finish. The floor plan shows a conventional three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with fitted wardrobes. Technically, the property is equipped with hot and cold air conditioning, central heating and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a combination that covers both the Andalusian summer and the cooler winter months, when average annual temperatures of 17.9°C still include chilly evenings. Connectivity is present through fibre optic and WiFi. A lift serves the building, and the unit includes a private storage room plus two parking spaces. The condition is listed as excellent. Buyers conducting due diligence should verify the exact appliance and material specifications in the notarial documentation, as finishes in completed homes are best assessed on site. No sustainability certification details are published in the available data, and structural or installation guarantees should be confirmed with the seller during the purchase process.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €699,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so no from-price applies. The price includes two private parking spaces and a storage room. For context, nearby new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, start considerably lower, but those are smaller or inland units without the Higuerón location and its facilities. Availability depends on the seller; completion dates, if a purchase is agreed, are always indicative.
El Higuerón is a hillside residential zone where daily life centres on the urbanisation itself and the facilities within walking distance. The apartment stands roughly 200 metres from the Higuerón Hotel Curio Collection and the Higuerón Sport Club, which offer padel and tennis courts, a fitness centre, spa facilities and dining. For groceries and everyday services, residents typically use the shops and pharmacies within a two-kilometre radius; the data shows 16 restaurants, nine cafés and two pharmacies in that zone. The rhythm of the area is seasonal: during spring and summer the beaches at 1.1 to 1.3 km, Playa Bonita, Playa de Arroyo Hondo and Playa Las Viborillas, draw visitors, while in autumn and winter the urbanisation reverts to a quieter residential pace. The corner position and the 26 m² terrace mean outdoor living is possible for most of the year, with the terrace serving as an extension of the living room. The first-floor level keeps stairs and lift use to a minimum. The apartment holds a tourist licence, which allows short-term rental use, subject to regional regulations. A courtesy bus serves the complex, and the Torremuelle train station at 0.6 km provides a car-free connection along the coast towards Fuengirola and Málaga.
Daily life in El Higuerón revolves around a compact set of amenities. Within two kilometres, residents can reach 16 restaurants, nine cafés and two pharmacies, which covers routine needs without driving into Benalmádena or Fuengirola town centres. The coastal train is the area's practical asset: Torremuelle station lies 0.6 km away, with Carvajal at 3.0 km and Benalmádena, Arroyo de la Miel at 3.1 km, connecting to Fuengirola in one direction and Málaga in the other. Fifty public transport stops across seven lines serve the wider zone. The urbanisation sits at about 119 metres above sea level, so temperatures are marginally cooler than on the seafront and the views extend over the coast and mountains. The gradient to the beach of roughly 9.9% defines the walking experience: downhill is straightforward, the return requires effort or a short drive. The courtesy bus operated for the complex offsets this for beach trips. For EV drivers, the Fuengirola Supercharger is 2.6 km away. The area's tourism profile, 24 hotels and 11,154 beds, means summer months bring noticeably more traffic and activity, while the off-season months are markedly quieter.
The map shows the apartment's position on the hillside above the coast, roughly 1.1 km from Playa Bonita and 0.6 km from Torremuelle station. Málaga airport lies about 12 km to the north-east in a direct line. All distances shown are straight-line; road routes are longer.

El Higuerón occupies a position between two anchors of the western Costa del Sol: Benalmádena and Fuengirola, at 22 km from Málaga and 27 km from Marbella in a straight line. It belongs to the belt of elevated residential urbanisations that sit above the coastal strip, quieter than the seafront, with views and hillside air, but dependent on the coast for beaches and full services. The nearby Cercanías station and the 12 km distance to the airport give it better rail and air accessibility than most hillside zones. Within the regional hierarchy it sits in the mid-to-upper residential segment, between the mass-market coastal apartments and the villa estates further inland.
The nearest beach, Playa Bonita, is 1.1 km away in a straight line, with Playa de Arroyo Hondo at 1.2 km and Playa Las Viborillas at 1.3 km; actual road distances are longer, and the 9.9% slope means most residents drive or use the courtesy bus. Málaga, with its 579,076 inhabitants, lies 22 km away in a direct line, and Marbella 27 km; both function as the region's main urban and employment centres. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 12 km as the crow flies, one of the shortest airport distances on the coast, while Gibraltar is 85 km. The Fuengirola marina sits 6.7 km away. Golfers can reach Golf Benalmádena Pitch & Putt at 1.9 km, with the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course at 8.4 km and Lauro Golf at 9.0 km. By car, the A-7 and AP-7 coastal corridors are the standard routes; by public transport, the Cercanías line via Torremuelle station at 0.6 km is the backbone for coastal commuting.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 17.9°C and a swimming season of about four months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly June through September. At 119 metres elevation, the urbanisation sits above the immediate seafront, which softens summer heat slightly and widens the panoramic view over the Mediterranean and the mountains behind. The surrounding hillsides, including viewpoints such as Mirador del Madroño at 4.6 km and Mirador del Lobo at 5.0 km, offer walking terrain inland, while the coastline provides the beach routine. Sunshine hours on this stretch of the Costa del Sol are among the highest in Spain, which supports year-round terrace use; the 26 m² south-facing outdoor space and the corner position with large windows are the features that make the most of this. Winters remain mild but not tropical, hence the central heating and underfloor bathroom heating in the specification. Rainfall concentrates in a handful of autumn and winter months.

Three beaches lie within about 1.3 km of the apartment: Playa Bonita, Playa de Arroyo Hondo and Playa Las Viborillas. These are the chiringuito-and-paseo type of beaches characteristic of this stretch, with beachfront restaurants along the promenade. For sport, the Higuerón Sport Club about 200 metres from the building is the anchor facility, offering padel, tennis, beach volleyball, a fitness centre and spa. Club Hockey Benalmádena is 1.1 km away, a racquet club 3.0 km and an ice rink, the Club Municipal de Hielo, at 3.4 km, an unusual amenity for the coast. Golf options range from the Pitch & Putt at 1.9 km to full courses at 8.4 and 9.0 km. The Fuengirola marina at 6.7 km adds sailing and waterfront dining. The swimming season of about four months defines the beach calendar; outside it, the sea remains walkable and the recreation shifts inland to the clubs and hillside paths.

Within the western Costa del Sol, El Higuerón occupies a specific niche: elevated residential urbanisations with sport and hotel infrastructure at their centre, positioned between Benalmádena and Fuengirola. Compared with the new-build alternatives currently marketed in the wider region, this apartment commands a higher absolute price, €699,000 fixed, against projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). The difference reflects several factors. Torre del Mar and eastern Estepona sit further from Málaga airport, this apartment is roughly 12 km from AGP as the crow flies, one of the shortest distances on the coast. The location also carries built infrastructure that newer zones lack: the Higuerón Sport Club and hotel roughly 200 metres away, a train station at 0.6 km, and an established stock of restaurants, schools and healthcare within the surrounding area. Against Marbella and its villa belts, El Higuerón is more compact and more oriented towards apartments and managed urbanisations, with a year-round residential population rather than a purely seasonal one. The local market records around 2,299 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale and rental environment; the tourist licence on this unit aligns with that demand, given 24 hotels and over 11,000 tourist beds in the immediate area. Buyers comparing value should weigh the fixed price against the included parking (two spaces), storage room, 2024 completion date and the hillside views, features that new-build entry units at lower price points typically do not bundle together.
