The Kos is a new development project consisting of 36 single-level villas in El Higuerón, Fuengirola. The residences are organized around a central rooftop garden and feature a private swimming pool and sea views. With an indicative completion in the second quarter of 2026, the project focuses on a fully serviced living environment with communal wellness amenities.
Compared to the 'Carat' project in the same city, The Kos is priced higher and offers more luxury amenities such as a spa and coworking spaces. Where Carat focuses more on compact living, The Kos provides larger villas with private pools. Compared to 'Core Higueron', located in the same neighborhood, The Kos positions itself as a more exclusive 'sanctuary' with fewer units and more emphasis on privacy and gardens, whereas Core focuses on the high-rise segment with direct views across the entire coast. 'Korall Residences' is another comparison; it is located closer to the center of Fuengirola and generally more affordable for smaller apartments. The Kos distinguishes itself through the combination of the villa formula (size and privacy) with resort-style facilities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the El Higuerón district on the urban edge of Fuengirola. This location is approximately 14 kilometers from Málaga Airport. The setting is urban with direct connectivity to the N-340 coastal road, making both the coastline and the hinterland accessible.
The villas cater to households requiring multiple bedrooms and living spaces across different levels. The layout supports a separation between sleeping and living areas, providing functionality for families or couples who frequently host guests.
Construction is currently ongoing. Handover is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. The properties will be delivered with a complete installation package, including air conditioning and underfloor heating.
The site features sloped terrain, resulting in steep access roads and elevation changes within and around the property. This project is not suitable for individuals requiring full single-level access without stairs. Additionally, potential noise from surrounding roads and ongoing construction work until completion should be expected.
This project suits residents seeking an active lifestyle within a community. The presence of facilities like a gym, spa, and coworking spaces points to a socially oriented lifestyle. For those seeking remote, rural silence, the setting may be too urban. The combination of security provided by the gated community and the proximity to amenities makes it attractive for expats seeking guidance and contact in their first years in a new location. It is also favorable for investors renting to seasonal guests due to the short distance to Torreblanca beach.
The brochure emphasizes quality and sustainability. The homes feature central air conditioning for cooling and heating via a duct system. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms increases comfort during cooler months. The architecture focuses on natural light, with large sliding doors connecting indoor spaces to the garden and terrace. The use of insulating glazing and modern installations contributes to energy efficiency. Gardens and communal areas will be landscaped with low-maintenance planting suitable for the Mediterranean climate.
The starting price for a residence in The Kos is set at €1,120,000. This is an indicative price for the base model with the specifications mentioned in the brochure. Prices may vary based on the specific position within the project and selected finishes.
Daily life at The Kos is defined by its hillside location in a highly urbanized environment. Living here means that many amenities are within walking distance; the supermarket and several dining options are reachable on foot. Mornings begin on the south-facing terraces, enjoying sunlight until the afternoon. In the evenings, the view of the Mediterranean and coastline provides a scenic backdrop. The immediate surroundings are a mix of permanent residents and tourist traffic, with a busier atmosphere near beaches and shops during the summer months.
The living environment is dynamic. Fuengirola is a bustling city with a wide range of shops, dining, and beaches. From The Kos, Playa de Torreblanca beach is located approximately 650 meters away. This means a visit to the beach is possible on foot, though the return journey involves an uphill climb. The city offers a variety of international restaurants and supermarkets, making daily life practical for non-Spanish residents. The presence of a nearby train station offers connections to Málaga and other coastal towns.
The map displays the strategic location of The Kos in El Higuerón. You can see that the project is situated between the A-7 highway and the mountain ridge, which accounts for the steep slopes. The green zones indicate the park-like surroundings, while the densely populated coastline of Fuengirola is visible.
Fuengirola occupies a central position on the western side of the Costa del Sol. It acts as a link between the tourist-focused Benalmádena and the more traditional Mijas. This position ensures residents of The Kos benefit from the amenities of a large city (85,000 inhabitants) while living close to natural areas. The El Higuerón location is specifically desirable for its panoramic views and direct access to the coastal road.
In terms of accessibility, the location scores high. Málaga Airport is just 14 kilometers away (as the crow flies), which is short for the Costa del Sol. For beach lovers, Playa de Torreblanca is less than 700 meters away. Accessibility by car is good due to the proximity of the AP-7 motorway and the N-340 coastal road. For daily groceries, a supermarket is located less than 800 meters away. Amenities such as golf courses and the marina are situated at slightly greater distances, around 5 and 5 kilometers respectively.

The Fuengirola region enjoys a mild microclimate. The coastal location ensures moderate temperatures, with historical averages ranging from 10 degrees in winter to 25 degrees in summer. The southwest orientation of the villas maximizes exposure to sunlight, contributing to a long swimming season. The elevation at 234 meters above sea level provides a breeze and prevents the heat experienced at sea level during summer.

The coastline around Fuengirola is characterized by long sandy beaches annually awarded the Blue Flag. Playa de Torreblanca is the nearest beach, known for its local atmosphere and chiringuitos (beach bars). Beyond beaches, the area offers opportunities for water sports and golf. Within a 5-kilometer radius, there are several golf courses, including Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt and Mijas Golf, making the area suitable for recreationalists seeking variety between sport and relaxation.
