This completed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 76 m² forms part of the Higuerón West development in Fuengirola, on the central Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. Built in 2021, the second-floor apartment faces west and looks over communal pools and landscaped gardens, with a 21 m² terrace. The property includes two underground parking spaces and a 7 m² storage room. The asking price is €449,000 unfurnished, with furniture available separately. Fuengirola's beaches, train station and town centre are within short reach, and Málaga Airport lies approximately 18 km away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an urbanised residential setting on the western side of Fuengirola, roughly 650, 670 m from three beaches including Playa de San Francisco. A supermarket is 112 m away, a pharmacy 370 m, and Fuengirola train station 500 m, with direct services towards Málaga Airport and Málaga city. The immediate area combines resort-style development with access to everyday urban amenities on foot.
The layout serves two occupants or a small family: two bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, a fitted kitchen area and a covered 21 m² terrace for outdoor use. Air conditioning and central heating regulate temperature year-round, and a lift serves the building. Two parking spaces and a storage room support households with vehicles and seasonal belongings.
Construction was completed in 2021, meaning the building is delivered and habitable with no waiting period. The apartment is in documented excellent condition as a newer build, with contemporary installations already in place. No further construction phases affect the unit itself, though phases of the wider Higuerón development continue in the surrounding area.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. There is no private garden, and outdoor space is limited to the 21 m² terrace. The unit measures 76 m², which restricts space for larger households. Views are of the pool area and urban surroundings rather than open sea. The apartment is offered unfurnished at the stated price.

This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a ready-to-occupy second home on the Costa del Sol can use it immediately, given the 2021 completion date and optional furniture package, and the 18 km airport distance shortens arrival and departure logistics. Retirees or part-year residents benefit from the lift access, flat surroundings, on-foot access to a supermarket and pharmacy, and a train link that removes the need to drive to the airport. A household needing two bathrooms and two parking spaces, for example, a family with teenage children or owners who receive regular guests, will find the ensuite layout and double parking relevant. Buyers prioritising sport and wellness routines can build daily use of the Higuerón Sport Club into their schedule without leaving the resort. The property is less suited to buyers wanting sea views from the terrace, a private pool or a large garden, since views are of the communal pool area and outdoor space is terrace-only. It also does not serve households needing three or more bedrooms within the 76 m² footprint. Investors should note the price position above Fuengirola's entry-level new build, meaning rental returns depend on the resort facilities and location rather than a low acquisition cost.
As a 2021 completion, the apartment reflects current construction standards rather than older Costa del Sol stock. Technical features include double glazing throughout, which reduces external noise in an urban setting, and fibre optic connectivity suitable for remote work and streaming. Climate control combines air conditioning for summer months with central heating for the winter period, a pairing not always present in coastal apartments of this size, where electric heaters are more common. Internal fittings comprise fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom finished with a glass shower unit, consistent with the photographic record of modern fixtures. The 21 m² terrace is covered, extending its usable period beyond the summer months and sheltering the outdoor space from midday sun given the west orientation. Storage is addressed twice: a dedicated 7 m² storage room in the basement and two private underground parking spaces, an allocation above the regional norm of one space per unit. Communal areas are documented as maintained landscaped gardens, communal pools and children's areas, with 24-hour security operating within the development. Buyers should independently verify the energy certificate, community fees and the legal status of the parking and storage allocations during due diligence, as these figures are not part of the dataset provided.
The asking price is €449,000 for the apartment unfurnished, with furniture and appliances available as a separate purchase for €10,000. Within Fuengirola, comparable new-build projects list from around €328,000 (Residencial Sunhill), €369,000 (Artemisa) and €375,000 (Pelit Maritimo), placing this unit above the local entry segment, a differential explained by its completion status, two parking spaces, storage room and resort facilities. The local market recorded 2,391 transactions, indicating an active resale and new-build volume in the municipality.
Daily life here follows a resort-residential rhythm. Mornings can begin on the west-facing terrace, which receives sun from midday onwards, making it usable primarily in the afternoon and evening. The communal pools and gardens sit directly below, so swimming and outdoor time require no travel. A supermarket 112 m from the door and a pharmacy 370 m away cover routine shopping, while the dense surrounding amenity base, 217 restaurants and 64 cafés within 2 km, means eating out and everyday errands rarely require a car. The beach at Playa de San Francisco is a walk of roughly ten minutes, and Fuengirola train station 500 m away connects to Carvajal, the airport and Málaga without driving. The Higuerón Sport Club and Spa, adjacent within the resort, provide gym, padel, tennis and wellness facilities that residents typically use several times a week. The urban setting is active rather than secluded: the town of 85,000 residents functions year-round, with schools, health centres and local commerce independent of the tourist season. Evenings often take the form of terrace dining, a promenade walk or the short shuttle or drive to Carvajal Beach. For owners who divide time between countries, the flat terrain (2.8% slope to the beach, 14 m elevation) and lift access make the property practical for all ages, and the two parking spaces accommodate a household with two cars or visiting guests.
The surroundings operate at the scale of a mid-sized Andalusian coastal town rather than a resort enclave. Fuengirola has 85,211 registered residents (2025), 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, three health centres and a general hospital 8.5 km from the property, meaning the town functions fully outside the tourist season. Within a 2 km radius, the count of 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 37 pharmacies, 27 banks and 9 dentists indicates a complete service layer within walking or short cycling distance. Public transport consists of 14 lines and 33 stops, and the Cercanías train from Fuengirola station (500 m) links the town along the coast to Málaga. The immediate resort environment includes sports infrastructure: Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola at 500 m, a municipal pavilion at 700 m and the public Piscina María Peláez at 500 m supplement the private Higuerón Sport Club. The marina, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola, lies 600 m away. EV drivers have a charging point 92 m from the property and a Tesla Supercharger 4.5 km away. Traffic in the town centre increases in July and August, a seasonal pattern typical of the Costa del Sol, while the apartment's position within a gated phase moderates direct street noise.
The map shows the apartment's position relative to Fuengirola's coastline, with three beaches within a 700 m radius and the train station 500 m to the east. Golf courses appear inland to the north, and the A-7 motorway traces the coast towards Málaga and Marbella.

The property occupies a position between Fuengirola's town centre and the Carvajal district, on the western approach to the municipality. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, is 27 km east; Marbella lies 24 km west; and Algeciras 87 km south. This central placement means both cities are day-trip distance, while the train line and the A-7/AP-7 corridor connect the full coastal strip. Within Fuengirola itself, the location leans towards resort-residential rather than the historic centre, trading some proximity to old-town amenities for gated grounds and sport facilities.
Three beaches fall within roughly 660 m straight-line distance: Playa de Fuengirola, Playa de San Francisco and Playa de Santa Amalia, with the wider stretch of Los Boliches at 1.2 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 18 km away, typically a 15, 20 minute drive, and the train from Fuengirola station serves the airport directly. Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants) is 27 km away and Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) 24 km, both reachable in roughly 25 minutes by car. Golf options cluster at a consistent distance: Campo Los Lagos at 3.8 km, Cerrado del Águila at 3.9 km, Mijas Golf at 4.4 km and Campo Los Olivos at 4.6 km. Gibraltar airport is 79 km away as a secondary flight option. The nearest hospital is 8.5 km from the property.

The location records 3,897 sunshine hours per year historically, with an average annual temperature of 18.7°C and a seasonal range of 14, 26°C, figures consistent with the Costa del Sol's reputation as one of southern Europe's most reliable sunshine coasts. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans approximately four months; outside that window sea swimming is possible but cooler. Elevation is 14 m above sea level with a 2.8% slope to the beach, meaning no stairs or serious gradients separate the apartment from the shoreline, a practical consideration for older residents or anyone cycling daily. The west-facing terrace collects afternoon and evening sun, matching the Mediterranean pattern of outdoor dining after the midday heat. Rainfall concentrates in autumn and winter months, when the central heating installation becomes relevant.

Within Fuengirola, this unit prices above comparable new-build launches: Residencial Sunhill lists from €328,000, Artemisa from €369,000 and Pelit Marítimo from €375,000, all below the €449,000 asked here. The differential reflects three concrete factors: the inclusion of two parking spaces and a storage room rather than a single space, the completed status of a 2021 build with no construction-phase risk or waiting time, and access to the Higuerón resort's sport and spa facilities within the same development. Against the wider region, the position differs from Benalmádena or Torremolinos in that Fuengirola combines a year-round resident base of 85,000 with a compact footprint of 10.4 km², producing the high amenity density recorded within 2 km of the property. Compared with Marbella 24 km west, prices per square metre run lower while beach and golf access remain comparable, four courses within 4.6 km match what many Marbella locations offer. The trade-off for buyers is view quality: pool and urban views rather than sea views, in exchange for resort facilities, flat terrain and the train connection that most Costa del Sol locations lack. For international buyers weighing the Mediterranean lifestyle against practicality, the combination of an 18 km airport distance, a 500 m train station and walkable daily amenities positions this property towards the convenience end of the regional spectrum, whereas hillside developments in Mijas or Estepona trade that accessibility for panoramas and seclusion.
