Lomas 5 is a completed residential development in El Higuerón, on the inland side of Fuengirola between Fuengirola centre and Benalmádena. This apartment offers 80.43 m² of built living space, a 33.56 m² terrace and a 56.20 m² private garden, giving roughly 170 m² of combined private-use space. The property includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two private parking spaces and a storage room, with sea and mountain views from the east-facing orientation. Carvajal beach is reachable on foot in approximately fifteen minutes, and Carvajal train station connects along the coast towards Fuengirola and Málaga.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in El Higuerón, an established hillside urbanisation on the western edge of Fuengirola. Fuengirola's beaches are within walking distance, while supermarkets, pharmacies and a charging point for electric vehicles lie within roughly 250 metres. The position combines residential quiet with practical access to the coastal town centre and the A-7 corridor towards Benalmádena and Málaga.
The layout serves two main use cases: a couple or small family seeking a permanent coastal residence, or an owner wanting a furnished, turn-key second home. Two parking spaces and a storage room cover practical storage and mobility needs, while the garden and terrace add outdoor living area that most apartments of this size do not provide. Air conditioning (hot and cold) and a communal pool complete the functional package.
The apartment is brand-new and never occupied, delivered as a completed unit with new furniture included. The stated completion reference of 2026 is indicative; the building itself is finished and the property can be inspected in its final state. This means no construction-phase waiting time or off-plan payment schedule applies to a purchase.
The property does not offer a private pool, private spa facilities or direct beach-front positioning, the walk to the sea takes roughly fifteen minutes and includes a slope on the return. With 80 m² of interior space and two bedrooms, it is not a large-family home. There is no private garden access to communal green space beyond the 56 m² plot, and the east orientation means afternoon sun on the terrace is limited.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently who wants a walkable, mid-sized town with 15 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and three health centres within the municipality will find Fuengirola's infrastructure adequate, and the apartment's turn-key condition removes renovation lead time entirely. A second-home buyer who values outdoor space but does not want a villa's maintenance load gets a garden and terrace without garden upkeep beyond a small plot. Owners of electric vehicles benefit from a charging point 92 metres away. Buyers who work part of the year remotely can use Carvajal station and the coastal train line to reach Málaga airport in about 30 minutes by car over 18 km, making short international trips manageable without living directly under a flight path. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a front-line beach address with lift-level access to the sand, a large family home with three or more bedrooms, or an investor prioritising the lowest entry price in Fuengirola, the €695,000 level sits above the segment's entry point. Two parking spaces also make sense mainly for households with one or two cars; a single-car household pays for a space it may not use. Finally, buyers wanting a west-facing terrace for long evening sun should note the east orientation: the property's outdoor hours are morning-weighted.
The apartment is delivered furnished, brand-new and never occupied, with the interior executed in a palette of cashmere tones and natural wood. The listing photographs show a fluted wall with integrated TV unit in the living room and a minimalist bedroom with a tree-motif wallpaper feature, indicating a completed interior design scheme rather than shell-and-core delivery. Technical specifications include hot and cold air conditioning, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a lift serving the building, and a covered section of the terrace for use in hotter or wetter periods. The residence has access to a communal pool set within a landscaped resort-style environment, plus an on-site gym for residents. Practical storage is addressed through a dedicated storage room in addition to fitted wardrobes, a feature that matters in an 80 m² unit where internal cupboard space alone is rarely sufficient for a permanent residence. Two private parking spaces are included in the title, which is above the local norm of one space per unit and relevant both for daily use and for resale liquidity in an area where visitor parking is limited. The window orientation (east) and the elevated position of El Higuerón produce the sea and mountain views referenced in the listing; the exact view depends on the unit's floor level and should be verified during a viewing. No energy certificate rating was supplied in the available data, so buyers should request the registered energy performance certificate before purchase, as is standard practice for Spanish residential transactions.
The asking price is €695,000 for a completed, furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with 80.43 m² of interior space, 33.56 m² of terrace, a 56.20 m² private garden, two parking spaces and a storage room. On interior area alone this works out at roughly €8,600 per m²; including terrace and garden the figure per private m² falls materially. Comparable new developments in Fuengirola list from €495,000 (Distinctive Infinity) and €545,000 (Belvedere Collection) to €599,000 (Horizon36), though direct comparison depends on outdoor space, parking inclusions and finish level. The two parking spaces and included furniture are price-relevant inclusions.
Daily life at Lomas 5 follows a residential rhythm rather than a resort one. The apartment opens east, so morning light reaches the terrace and garden first, a practical detail for breakfast outdoors or an early swim in the communal pool before the heat builds. By early afternoon the terrace shifts to shade, which in a climate averaging 18.7°C annually and close to 3,900 hours of sun per year is often an advantage rather than a drawback. The 56 m² private garden is the property's most distinctive functional feature. Combined with the 33.56 m² terrace, it gives nearly 90 m² of private outdoor space, enough for a lounge set, outdoor dining, planters or a jacuzzi, subject to community rules. This is unusual for an 80 m² apartment and effectively doubles the usable footprint in practice. The interior is finished and furnished in cashmere tones and natural wood, with fitted wardrobes, a lift in the building and a gym available to residents. A supermarket 112 metres away and a pharmacy at 226 metres mean routine shopping does not require a car. The nearest beach, Playa de San Francisco, lies about 400 metres from the wider area, with the walk from the apartment taking roughly fifteen minutes through a partly green, park-like route. The return leg climbs a gentle slope, the measured gradient to the beach is 2.8%, noticeable on foot with shopping or in summer heat, but mild by Costa del Sol hillside standards. Carvajal train station at 3.7 km and Fuengirola station at 0.5 km from the town centre anchor the public transport offer, supplemented by 14 local bus lines and 33 stops across the municipality.
El Higuerón occupies the hillside above Fuengirola's western edge, and daily life here balances residential calm with dense amenity access. Within a two-kilometre radius the area counts 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 37 pharmacies, 27 banks and 9 dentists, a level of provision that means routine needs are met without a car. A supermarket 112 metres from the development and a pharmacy at 226 metres anchor the immediate daily circuit. For sport, the Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola lies 500 metres away, with Pabellón Juan Gómez Juanito at 700 metres and Polideportivo Las Cañadas at one kilometre; the municipality lists 269 sports facilities in total. Healthcare is covered by three health centres in Fuengirola, with the nearest hospital 8.5 km away. Fuengirola station, 500 metres from the town centre, connects to the C-1 Cercanías line towards Málaga, with Carvajal station 3.7 km from the property as the closer rail option. The town's permanent population of 85,211 (2025) supports year-round services, restaurants and shops do not shut in the off-season to the degree seen in smaller resort villages. Tourism is present but measured: 25 hotels with roughly 8,085 beds across the municipality. The practical effect is a town that is lively in summer, busier on the seafront, and quiet in the residential streets above, which is where this property sits.
The map shows Lomas 5 in El Higuerón, set back from the coast between Fuengirola and Benalmádena. Note the walking route to Carvajal beach, the position of Carvajal train station on the coastal line, and the cluster of golf courses a few kilometres inland around Mijas. The markers for supermarkets, pharmacy and the EV charging point indicate the immediate daily radius.

Fuengirola sits centrally on the western Costa del Sol, 27 km from Málaga city and 24 km from Marbella, with Benalmádena immediately to the east. El Higuerón occupies the elevated ground between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, which is why both Carvajal beach and Carvajal station serve as the property's practical coastal access points. The position trades direct seafront proximity for elevation, views and a residential setting, while keeping the town's full amenity base within walking or short driving distance. Mijas village and its golf valley lie 10, 15 minutes inland.
Distances from the property: the nearest beaches, Playa de Fuengirola (658 m), Playa de San Francisco (661 m) and Playa de Santa Amalia (668 m) measured straight-line, with the actual walking route to Carvajal beach taking about 15 minutes. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 18 km away by straight line, roughly a 25, 30 minute drive.

The climate data places this location among the sunniest in Europe: 3,897 recorded sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.7°C, with monthly means ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, counted as months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs approximately four months, from late spring into early autumn, though sea swimming outside that window remains possible for those accustomed to cooler water. The property sits at 14 metres above sea level with a measured slope to the beach of 2.8%, essentially flat terrain by regional standards, though the specific route from El Higuerón involves a longer, gentler climb. The east orientation captures morning sun and shifts to shade by mid-afternoon, which reduces summer heat load on the interior. The mountain views referenced in the listing derive from the inland aspect of El Higuerón towards the Mijas Sierra.

The seafront promenade runs the length of the town and connects towards Los Boliches (1.2 km from the wider area) and the marina at Puerto Deportivo (0.6 km). Golfers have four courses within five kilometres, Campo Los Lagos, Cerrado del Águila, Mijas Golf and Campo Los Olivos, making a round trip under twenty minutes each way.

Within Fuengirola's new-build segment, this listing at €695,000 positions above the town's entry-level offerings. Belvedere Collection lists from €545,000, Distinctive Infinity from €495,000 and Horizon36 from €599,000. The price gap is partly explained by inclusions: two private parking spaces, a storage room, full furniture and, most significantly, nearly 90 m² of private outdoor space combining terrace and garden. Garden apartments of this type are structurally scarcer than standard units in the same developments, since each building typically contains only a handful of ground-floor units with direct plot access. Comparing locations within the municipality, El Higuerón trades the immediacy of a seafront address for elevation, views and a more residential pace. Fuengirola centre offers denser amenity access at street level; Benalmádena's Carvajal district offers similar beach access with marginally lower price points in places; Mijas Costa and the golf valley inland offer quieter settings but greater car dependency. Fuengirola's fundamentals are comparatively solid for the western Costa del Sol: a permanent population of 85,211, 2,391 recorded property transactions in the reference period, a four-month swimming season and four Blue Flag beaches. The town's Cercanías rail connection to Málaga and the airport distinguishes it from car-dependent settlements further west. Buyers comparing this property against a similarly priced unit in Marbella (24 km away) should note that Marbella's premium reflects its brand positioning rather than any climate difference; both locations share the same coastal weather pattern. The practical decision usually comes down to whether nearly 90 m² of private outdoor space at this price outweighs a smaller unit closer to the sand, a matter of personal preference rather than market logic, as both segments clear in Fuengirola's current transaction volumes.
