The 16+ Collection in Mijas presents a fully completed residential opportunity that merges luxury living with sustainability. Located in El Higuerón, these penthouses offer approximately 130 m² of living space, utilizing a modern architectural design that maximizes natural light. The project holds BREEAM and WELL certifications, indicating a strong focus on energy efficiency and healthy living environments. Residents enjoy access to extensive amenities at Higuerón Resort, including a Spa, Sport Club, and a private Beach Club. The location balances privacy with connectivity to the Costa del Sol coastline.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated in El Higuerón, Mijas, the project lies between the Sierra de Mijas mountain range and the coast. This positioning creates a transition zone from the rugged hinterland to the Mediterranean Sea. At an elevation of approximately 36 meters above sea level, the properties enjoy views of the valley and sea. The immediate surroundings consist of modern residential complexes and natural slopes.
The homes are suited for buyers seeking a permanent residence with resort-level services. The presence of a Business Center and meeting rooms supports a lifestyle combining living and working. With spacious terraces and three bedrooms, the units meet the need for living space for families or couples who host guests frequently.
The project is completed and immediately available for occupancy. This eliminates the waiting period associated with construction. The BREEAM and WELL certifications confirm that sustainable materials and techniques were employed during construction. Units are delivered turnkey, including kitchen appliances and high-end finishes.
The terrain features elevation changes and slopes, which may limit pedestrian mobility; a car is essential for daily use. Distances to the beach are short 'as the crow flies,' but due to the steep slope towards the coast (7.3%), walking is not feasible for everyone. The community amenities and high-quality finishes result in elevated monthly community fees.

This project fits buyers seeking a low-maintenance home with hotel services but apartment privacy. It suits those uninterested in maintaining a traditional villa with a pool but wanting to swim and sport in high-quality facilities. It is also suitable for remote workers due to the business facilities and high-speed internet. The physical location (slopes) is less suitable for those with mobility impairments.
The finish is technically and aesthetically high-end. Brands chosen for durability and design include Technal for windows, Saloni for tiles, and Daikin/Samsung for climate control. Kitchens are equipped with Bosch or AEG appliances. A notable technical feature is the home automation system, facilitating comfort control and safety features like leak and smoke detection. Underfloor heating in bathrooms and the master bedroom enhances winter comfort.
Prices for the homes start from €1,190,000. The pricing reflects inclusive services such as the first-year Platinum Membership, access to sports clubs, and the quality of finishes (brands like Bosch and Hansgrohe). Price variation is determined by the unit type (Sky Villa vs. Garden Villa) and specific location within the project. This price class positions the development in the higher segment of the Mijas real estate market.
Living at the 16+ Collection means residing in an autonomous micro-resort. The day often begins with use of the sports facilities or a visit to the spa, directly accessible to residents. The southwest orientation ensures sunlight on the terraces during afternoon and evening hours. While the environment is quiet, the resort itself acts as a vibrant hub with dining and social venues within the complex. For daily groceries, a car is necessary; the nearest supermarket is 2.3 km away.
The direct living environment is dominated by the resort itself. Amenities like tennis (Miraflores Tennis Club) and bowling are within walking distance (0.4 - 0.5 km). The area is car-oriented; for visits to the historic center of Mijas Pueblo or the larger city of Fuengirola, a vehicle is required. The highway (AP-7) is quickly accessible, easing connections to Marbella and Málaga city. Málaga Airport is located 13 km away.
The map shows the project at the foot of the Sierra de Mijas, with clear sightlines to the coastline. The proximity to the A-7 highway is visible. The slope towards the beach is notable.
El Higuerón is oriented towards the coastline, acting as a buffer zone between the busier tourist hub of Fuengirola and the exclusive Marbella. The location is strategic: quick highway access, yet living in a quieter, greener environment. Compared to central Málaga (35 min drive), it is more rural, but offers faster access to coastal roads.
The nearest beaches are 3.0 km away (Playa de Torreblanca) as the crow flies. Due to the hillside location and steep slope (7.3%), driving distance is longer; cycling or walking to the beach is physically demanding. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is accessible at a distance of 13 km. Golf courses like Mijas Golf and Lauro Golf are approximately 7 km away. Daily amenities (pharmacy, supermarket) are within 2.5 km.

Compared to projects like Soleia Living (starting from €949k), the 16+ Collection positions itself in a higher price segment. This is justified by the resort facilities and Platinum membership included. Where Aalto Riviera focuses purely on design, 16+ Collection offers a complete package of services (Sport/Spa) on a location closer to the mountains. The price per m² is higher than average in Mijas, reflecting the 'turn-key' nature.
