This completed garden apartment forms part of Higuerón West Phase II, a contemporary residential development in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 122 m² of built living space on the ground floor, originally configured with three bedrooms and since reconfigured to two bedrooms plus a TV/family room, with the option to restore the third bedroom. The south to south-west orientation and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto a covered terrace and private garden of approximately 185 m² of plot. Delivered in 2022 (indicative), the apartment includes aerothermal heating, air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, private parking and a storage room. Beaches, shops and the Cercanías train station at Fuengirola are all within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Higuerón area on the western side of Fuengirola, an established urban municipality of roughly 85,000 residents. Playa de San Francisco lies about 400 metres away, with three further beaches within 700 metres. A supermarket is 112 metres from the complex, a pharmacy 226 metres, and Fuengirola train station roughly 500 metres. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 18 km away.
The layout suits households seeking ground-level living with direct garden access, combined with the security and shared facilities of an apartment complex. Two bedrooms plus a flexible family room accommodate guests or home working. The covered terrace with outdoor kitchen extends usable living space across seasons. Communal pools, landscaped gardens and access to the adjacent Hilton Higuerón Resort facilities supplement the private spaces.
Construction is complete; the building was delivered in 2022 (indicative). The unit is a resale within a recent development, meaning finishes, appliances and systems are already installed and observable. No construction-phase risk applies. The aerothermal system, fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances, underfloor bathroom heating and air conditioning are in place, as are the private parking space and storage room.
The property does not offer sea views; recorded views are mountain, garden and urban. There is no private pool, pools are communal. The plot is 185 m², which is modest compared with a villa. The apartment provides two bedrooms in its current configuration. These are the factual limitations recorded in the property data.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple downsizing from a villa may value the single-level layout, private garden and lift access without the maintenance burden of a detached house. A family with occasional guests can use the flexible family room as a third bedroom when needed. Part-year residents arriving from northern Europe for the winter months benefit from the walkable amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, station, that remove the need for daily driving, while Málaga Airport at 18 km keeps travel logistics simple. Buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home will find the apartment's setting within a managed complex, with communal pools and gardens maintained collectively, easier to leave unoccupied than a standalone villa. The property is less obviously suited to buyers requiring direct sea views, a private pool or a large plot; those requirements sit outside what this unit offers. Households prioritising golf course frontage will note that the nearest courses, Los Lagos, Cerrado del Águila and Mijas Golf, are all between roughly 4 and 4.5 km away, requiring a short drive. Similarly, buyers wanting maximum quiet should weigh the urban position: 85,000 residents plus a tourist base mean the town does not go dormant outside summer, which is a benefit for year-round living but a consideration for those seeking rural silence. In short, the property fits buyers who want villa-like outdoor space combined with apartment convenience in a fully built, immediately usable condition.
The interior specification reflects the 2022 delivery date. The kitchen is a designer installation with a large central island and integrated Bosch appliances, visible in the listing imagery alongside the open-plan living area. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors run along the living façade, supporting both daylight levels and the indoor-outdoor transition to the covered terrace. Climate systems are a notable technical feature: an aerothermal system provides energy-efficient hot water and heating, complemented by hot and cold air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Aerothermal technology, which extracts heat from ambient air, typically supports lower running costs than purely electric resistance heating and aligns with current Andalusian building standards. The master en-suite includes a double vanity unit and a large walk-in shower with glass screen; the listing photographs show contemporary tiling and sanitary ware. Both bathrooms are fully fitted. Bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the master suite adds a walk-in wardrobe. A separate laundry and utility room is equipped with washer and dryer connections. Outdoor, the covered terrace is fitted with lounge and dining zones and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue, a built installation rather than a portable arrangement. The private garden is established and maintained. The property includes a private parking space and a storage room within the complex. Condition is recorded as excellent, consistent with a three-year-old, single-ownership unit. No works are reported as outstanding; the only optional intervention is reinstating the family room as a third bedroom if a buyer requires three bedrooms.
The asking price is €780,000, presented as a completed, turn-key unit. Within Fuengirola, comparable new-build projects start lower, Horizon36 from €599,000, Nova Marina from €565,000 and Higuerón Bay Residences from €567,000, though those figures typically relate to smaller or higher-floor units without a private garden of this size. The price per square metre of built area works out at approximately €6,400, with the plot and outdoor facilities included. Buyers should verify communal fees, annual IBI property tax and the costs of resort facility access separately, as these are not included in the stated price.
Daily life here is organised around indoor-outdoor living on one level. Mornings can begin on the south-facing covered terrace, which receives sun through the middle of the day and into the evening given the south-west component of the orientation. The outdoor kitchen and barbecue area allow meals to be taken outside for most of the year, supported by the region's roughly 3,900 annual sunshine hours. The private garden provides a buffer between the terrace and the communal grounds, giving the ground-floor position a degree of separation unusual in apartment living. Inside, the open-plan living and dining area connects to the designer kitchen with its central island and integrated Bosch appliances. The current configuration uses the third bedroom as a TV/family room; converting it back requires only reinstatement works. The master suite has a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower; a second bathroom serves the guest bedroom. A separate laundry and utility room keeps household tasks out of the living areas. Practically, the location reduces car dependence: a supermarket is 112 metres away, a pharmacy 226 metres, and Fuengirola's town centre, marina and Bioparc are a short walk or a two-stop train ride. The train station, 500 metres away, connects to Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga city with its airport connection. The urban setting means activity year-round rather than a seasonal resort rhythm, restaurants, 217 of them within two kilometres, stay open through winter. The immediate residential complex is quieter than the seafront promenade roughly 650 metres downhill, at a gentle 2.8 per cent slope.
Fuengirola functions as a compact, year-round town of about 85,000 residents on 10.4 km², one of the densest municipalities on the coast. For residents, that density translates into proximity: within a two-kilometre radius of the apartment there are 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 37 pharmacies, 27 banks and 9 dentists. The nearest supermarket is 112 metres away and the nearest pharmacy 226 metres, making daily errands a walking matter. Health infrastructure includes three health centres in the town and a hospital 8.5 km away. Education provision counts 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, relevant for permanent-residence buyers. Transport is a strength: Fuengirola station, 500 metres from the complex, is the western terminus of the Cercanías C-1 line running to Málaga city and the airport, and the town is served by 14 bus routes across 33 stops. An EV charging point sits 92 metres from the property, with a Tesla Supercharger 4.5 km away. Sports facilities are unusually dense, 269 recorded in the municipality, including the municipal Elola sports centre 500 metres away, Pabellón Juan Gómez Juanito at 700 metres and the Piscina María Peláez pool at 500 metres. The terrain is essentially flat: the municipality sits at 14 metres above sea level and the slope to the beach is 2.8 per cent, so walking and cycling are realistic modes for most journeys. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is 600 metres away.
The map shows the apartment's position in the Higuerón district on Fuengirola's western flank, roughly 650 metres inland from the beaches and 500 metres from the train station. Note the cluster of everyday amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, EV charging, within a two-minute walk, and the three golf courses lying a short drive inland toward Mijas.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Fuengirola occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol, equidistant in practical terms from Málaga city (27 km, population 579,076) and Marbella (24 km, population 147,958). This gives residents access to two substantial employment, cultural and retail centres within half an hour. The town's own scale, 85,000 residents, 25 hotels and a year-round service economy, places it above coastal villages like Benalmádena's fringe areas in amenity density while remaining smaller than Marbella's municipality. Property transactions in the municipality number around 2,391, indicating an active resale and new-build market with reasonable liquidity.
Beaches are the closest major amenity: Playa de Fuengirola, Playa de San Francisco and Playa de Santa Amalia all lie between roughly 650 and 670 metres from the complex, a seven-to-ten-minute walk. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 18 km away in a straight line, typically 20, 25 minutes by car; Gibraltar's airport is 79 km. Golfers reach Campo Los Lagos at 3.8 km, Cerrado del Águila at 3.9 km and Mijas Golf at 4.4 km. Marbella lies 24 km west and Málaga city 27 km east, both reachable by car or, in Málaga's case, by train from the nearby station. The hospital is 8.5 km away. Within the immediate residential context, the adjacent Hilton Higuerón Resort adds a spa, sport club, tennis and padel courts, restaurants and a beach club accessible to residents.

The climate data supports outdoor use of the terrace and garden for most of the year. Historical records show approximately 3,897 sunshine hours annually and a mean annual temperature of 18.7°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs about four months, though the communal pools and the adjacent resort facilities extend that window. The elevation is 14 metres above sea level and the terrain is flat, a 2.8 per cent slope to the beach, so no stair climbing or steep access roads affect daily movement. The south to south-west orientation of the apartment means the terrace receives midday and afternoon sun, favouring evening use of the outdoor kitchen and dining areas during the warmer months. Air-conditioning and aerothermal heating cover the cooler and hotter extremes. Mountain views to the north contrast with the garden and urban outlook in other directions.

Fuengirola holds four Blue Flag beaches, Boliches-Gaviotas, Carvajal, Castillo-Ejido and Fuengirola central, indicating water quality and services standards. The nearest, Playa de San Francisco, is roughly 400 metres away; Playa de Santa Amalia and Playa de los Boliches follow at 1.0 and 1.2 km. The Blue Flag count means lifeguard and facility coverage on the main town beaches.

Within Fuengirola's current new-build and recent-delivery stock, this apartment at €780,000 sits at the upper end of the local range. Horizon36 starts from €599,000, Nova Marina from €565,000 and Higuerón Bay Residences from €567,000. Those entry prices, however, generally correspond to smaller apartments without private garden space; the differentiating element here is the ground-floor configuration with a private plot of 185 m², a covered terrace with built outdoor kitchen and direct garden access, a product type more commonly associated with villa pricing. Against the wider Costa del Sol, Fuengirola occupies a middle market position: below Marbella and Estepona averages for equivalent space, broadly comparable with Benalmádena and above inland Mijas pueblo pricing. Locationally, the town's density, 85,000 residents on 10.4 km², delivers amenity depth that quieter municipalities lack: 217 restaurants within two kilometres of the apartment, four Blue Flag beaches, a rail link to Málaga and year-round services rather than a seasonal economy. The trade-off is urban context: buyers seeking seclusion or panoramic sea views typically look toward the hills of Benahavís or the New Golden Mile east of Marbella, at higher price points. For buyers comparing garden apartments specifically, the practical alternatives in the area are townhouses in Mijas Costa or Reserva del Higuerón, which offer more private outdoor space but usually at a higher total cost or with greater maintenance responsibility. Municipal transaction volume of roughly 2,391 sales annually suggests reasonable resale liquidity relative to smaller coastal towns. Proximity to the Hilton Higuerón resort facilities, spa, sport club, padel and tennis, is a further positioning factor shared with Higuerón Bay Residences but not with the seafront Horizon36 and Nova Marina developments.
