Core Higueron
Project lifecycle
Core Higueron, in context.
Core Higuerón is a collection of 25 apartments and penthouses on the hillside of El Higuerón, above Fuengirola and within the municipality of Benalmádena. It suits buyers who want the coast in full view without living on top of it. The elevation gives the homes a long, open outlook over the Mediterranean, yet the beach is only a few minutes' drive below.
Twenty-three of the 25 homes have already sold.
The appeal lies in how the days are spent. Open-plan living and dining rooms run into a modern fitted kitchen, then out onto generous terraces where the coastline becomes the backdrop to breakfast and long evening suppers. Published descriptions of the latest phase mention floor-to-ceiling glazing and façades accented in natural stone and wood.
Around the residences, landscaped gardens frame two infinity pools, so a morning swim finishes at the edge of the view. There is a fully equipped gym, a spa, padel courts and a private putting green for sharpening your short game before heading to the courses along the coast.
Construction is under way and completion is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. With so few homes left, the decision is no longer about which layout to choose. It is whether to secure one of the final two residences before the scheme is complete.

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. Core Higueron currently sits in the Under construction band.
This is a late-stage opportunity rather than an early one. Construction has started, completion is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026 and only two of the 25 homes remain, both with three bedrooms. Original marketing also mentions two-bedroom units and penthouses, though none appear in current availability. Buyers should be clear-eyed on price. At roughly €11,400 to €12,100 per m², the asking figures sit well above the Casafari resale median of €3,304 per m² for Benalmádena Pueblo. Nearby three-bedroom resales list between €418,000 and €595,000. The case here is not a discount. It is a brand-new home with resort-style facilities, a short wait to handover and a scarcity that ends once these two are reserved.
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 25 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.
The premium, contextualised
Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.
Core Higueron 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 €11,742 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 €3,297/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Benalmádena Pueblo
El Higuerón is a quiet residential hillside, but the essentials sit almost at the door. A pharmacy is a little over 300 metres away, an ALDI around 400 metres and the restaurant Nirvana roughly 330 metres. A forgotten ingredient or an impromptu dinner never means a long drive. Head down the hill and the sea arrives quickly. The nearest beach is three minutes by car, Playa de Torreblanca four and Playa de Arroyo Hondo five, with HW Beach Club and Chiringuito La Perla close by for a long lunch with sand underfoot.
7°C. Golfers have the Benalmádena pitch and putt six minutes away, with Los Lagos and Lauro Golf both within 17 minutes. Fuengirola's marina is 11 minutes off. On the practical side, Hospital Vithas Xanit International and the Hospital de Alta Resolución de Benalmádena are each six minutes away.
The Carvajal and Torremuelle train stations are four minutes by car.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.
Typical off-plan payment schedule
Spanish new-build purchases are typically paid in three staged instalments, with every euro held under bank guarantee until completion.
Total cost of ownership
Spanish mortgage scenario
Indicative non-resident mortgage on the slider price above. Spanish banks typically lend 60–70% LTV to non-residents over 20–25 years.
Investment outlook
Three scenarios our analysts model on every Costa del Sol off-plan deal.
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.
