16+ Collection, in context.

16+ Collection is a small-batch residential development of 19 three-bedroom residences set within the established Higuerón Resort, positioned between Fuengirola and Benalmádena on the western Costa del Sol — a considered address for buyers who want resort infrastructure without resort anonymity.

The collection is configured across two-storey, low-rise buildings and divided into four distinct formats: Garden Villas with private gardens of up to 400 m², Garden Villas+, Sky Villas, and Sky Villa Solariums with rooftop terraces of up to 130 m². Each residence measures 130 m² internally and comes with two parking spaces and a storage room. Specifications are substantive: Kaldewai baths, Duravit basins, Hansgrohe taps, Bosch or AEG kitchens, TECHNAL thermal enclosures, and an aerothermal air-conditioning system from Samsung or Daikin. Underfloor heating is fitted in bathrooms and master bedrooms.

Critically, the project holds both BREEAM and WELL certifications — rare on the Costa del Sol — and with 16 of 18 listed units already sold, availability is close to exhausted.

The off-plan discount curve

The off-plan discount, stage by stage

Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. 16+ Collection currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

This is not an off-plan proposition in the conventional sense — the development is built and the residences are ready for occupation, eliminating construction risk entirely. What makes the timing material is scarcity: 16 of 19 units have sold, leaving just two. The asking range of €1,190,000–€1,530,000 for 130 m² translates to approximately €9,150–€11,770 per m², a pronounced premium that the dual BREEAM and WELL certification, the resort setting, and the villa-format specification are designed to justify. Buyers who have hesitated are now choosing between two configurations.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover — a window that closes as the build advances.

Scarcity and specification

2 of 18 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.

Risk-managed entry

Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

16+ Collection is not priced against average Benalmádena Pueblo resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €9,154 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions — not whether it beats the area's median of €3,208/m².

Higuerón Resort occupies a hillside position at the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, where the green belt stretches inland and the Mediterranean coast lies within easy reach below. Fuengirola's rail station, shopping, and seafront are minutes away; Benalmádena Pueblo and Mijas Pueblo — both white-washed Andalusian hill villages — are a short drive in either direction. The Higuerón Sport Club and Spa is two minutes from the front door, functioning as a private leisure campus for residents. Málaga Airport is 15 minutes by motorway, making this a credible base for those who divide their time between Spain and northern Europe. Year-round temperatures average a high of 20.9 °C, with mild winters rarely dipping below 14 °C.

Residency planning for non-EU buyers

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is 16+ Collection a good investment compared to the local resale market?

16+ Collection is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Benalmádena Pueblo on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.

What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?

Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at 16+ Collection?

Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.

Does buying at 16+ Collection qualify for Spanish residency?

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.

How far is 16+ Collection from Málaga airport?

Approximately 15 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.

What is included in the purchase price?

Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.

Can I personalise the property?

At the Under construction stage, 16+ Collection buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
