Core Higuerón, in context.

Core Higuerón is a boutique collection of 25 three-bedroom apartments positioned within the established Higuerón Resort on the hillside between Benalmádena and Fuengirola — an address that has become one of the Costa del Sol's more coveted micro-markets for buyers who want resort infrastructure without the anonymity of a large-scale complex.

The building's single orientation — all apartments face southeast — ensures that panoramic Mediterranean views are a consistent feature rather than a marketing variable. Interiors range from 132 to 171 m² of built space, with large private terraces extending each floor plan considerably. On-site amenities include two infinity pools, a spa, a fully equipped gymnasium, paddle tennis and tennis courts, and a private putting green, all set within a wider resort estate of more than 100,000 m² of landscaped, sustainable gardens.

Construction is under way, with completion scheduled for Summer 2026. With just four of the original 25 units remaining, the sales trajectory speaks clearly to demand at this location.

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 Higuerón currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With 21 of 25 units sold and construction already progressed toward a Summer 2026 delivery, Core Higuerón represents a late-stage off-plan position rather than an early-risk one — buyers are purchasing into a building that will be delivered, not speculating on a groundbreaking. The four remaining apartments are priced between €989,900 and €1,599,900. Comparable three-bedroom resale stock in Benalmádena Pueblo is trading from approximately €1,079,000, and the area's average price per square metre has risen consistently over the past 12 months, suggesting the new-build premium here is modest relative to the specification and resort context.

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

4 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.

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.

Core Higuerón 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 €7,499 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.

Carvajal

El Higuerón sits at the point where Benalmádena and Fuengirola meet the hillside, placing residents within reach of two very different coastal characters. Fuengirola offers long sandy beaches including Playa de Carvajal — reachable on foot in roughly 20 minutes — along with a seafront promenade, dining, and a commuter rail station connecting the coast. Benalmádena contributes a well-regarded marina, Andalusian old-town charm, and a broader range of golf courses. The Miramar shopping centre is quickly accessible by car. Beyond the immediate coast, Málaga city centre and Marbella are both around 20 minutes' drive, and the airport sits only 15 minutes away — a material consideration for those splitting time between residences. The Costa del Sol averages approximately 320 sunny days a year, and recorded long-run average daily highs of 20.4 °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 Core Higuerón a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Core Higuerón 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 Core Higuerón?

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 Core Higuerón 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 Core Higuerón from Málaga airport?

Approximately 14 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, Core Higuerón 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.
