This completed duplex penthouse is situated in the Higuerón district of Málaga, offering residential space at an elevation of 113 metres. The property faces south, south-west, and west, comprising 152 m² of interior accommodation alongside 175 m² of terrace space. Completed in 2024, the development features a rooftop terrace of over 100 m² and is delivered with luxury furnishings. The layout places four bedrooms and four bathrooms on the main level, with the upper floor dedicated to outdoor living facilities.
In comparison to developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar and Lantana Residencial in Mijas, this Higuerón penthouse is positioned in a significantly higher price bracket. While Aquamar and Lantana offer entry-level options around €200,000 to €270,000, this listing at €2.1m targets the luxury sector. The price difference is justified by the property type (penthouse versus apartment), the immediate delivery status, and the extensive private terrace space. Unlike Etherna Homes in Estepona, which is further west, Higuerón offers closer proximity to Málaga airport. The terrain in Higuerón is notably steeper than in the flatter areas of Torre del Mar, which affects the accessibility and the nature of the views.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located on the hillside between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, the residence balances elevation with coastal proximity. The site is 1.3 kilometres from the nearest shoreline and 1 kilometre from the Carvajal train station. The topography is defined by an 8.7% slope, positioning the property above the coastal road while maintaining access to the N-340.
The design addresses the requirement for accessible circulation by situating all sleeping quarters and living areas on a single level. This structure removes the necessity of navigating stairs for daily domestic tasks. The extensive private rooftop provides a separate environment for leisure, catering to a need for outdoor space without reliance on communal facilities.
Construction is finalised, with the project classified as new construction and completed in 2024. The property is available for immediate occupation and is equipped with contemporary technical systems, including home automation. The interior is finished with high-specification materials and includes all furniture, representing a turnkey residential solution.
The property does not offer a private garden at ground level, as it is situated on an upper storey. The steep gradient of the surrounding terrain (8.7%) means that walking to the beach requires physical exertion. The urbanisation setting implies shared amenities rather than isolated independence, and there is no private pool within the apartment itself.
This residence suits households seeking substantial square footage without the maintenance responsibilities of a detached villa. The single-level layout is advantageous for individuals with reduced mobility or those preferring to minimise stair usage within the home. Professionals working remotely may benefit from the dedicated space and reliable connectivity. It is also appropriate for buyers looking for a secondary residence that is ready for immediate use with minimal additional investment in furniture. The property is less suitable for those requiring extensive private outdoor land or direct street-level access.
The internal specification includes underfloor heating in bathrooms and a centralised air conditioning system for climate control. Flooring surfaces and kitchen joinery are finished to a high standard, consistent with the luxury classification. The property incorporates a home automation system allowing for remote management of lighting and temperature. Bathroom fittings include bathtubs and wooden vanity units. The rooftop facilities feature a fully equipped summer kitchen and a jacuzzi, constructed with materials suited for continuous outdoor exposure.
The property is listed at €2,100,000. This price includes luxury furnishings, two private parking spaces, and a storage room. The cost reflects the total surface area of approximately 312 m², the completion status, and the inclusion of premium amenities such as the private jacuzzi and summer kitchen. As a single unit listing, price variations based on size or orientation are not applicable here.
Living in Higuerón involves a lifestyle centred around elevated views and convenience. The 113-metre altitude provides a vantage point over the Mediterranean and the coastline, catching the sea breeze. Daily necessities such as supermarkets and pharmacies are within a 1.5-kilometre radius, making errands manageable. The nearby Carvajal train station connects residents to Málaga in approximately 30 minutes, offering an alternative to driving. The steep hills characterise the neighbourhood; walking to the beach is a descent that requires a return climb, influencing the choice of transport for coastal visits. The rooftop terrace acts as a secondary living room for most of the year, utilising the high number of annual sunshine hours for outdoor meals.
The surrounding infrastructure supports both permanent residency and tourism. Fuengirola, located a few kilometres to the west, offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and services. Benalmádena provides additional leisure options, including the Puerto Deportivo marina. The area is well-connected by public transport, with 7 bus lines and the Cercanías train service serving the locality. This connectivity reduces the necessity for a car for daily commuting. The proximity to the AP-7 motorway facilitates rapid travel to Málaga and the airport.
The map displays the elevated position of the project at 113 metres, highlighting the steep topography leading down to the Mediterranean coastline. The location is marked relative to the Carvajal train station and the access roads connecting the hillside to the main N-340 coastal highway. The proximity to Fuengirola and Benalmádena is visually evident.
