Higuerón South Residences, in context.

Higuerón South Residences is a 164-home development at El Higuerón, positioned between Benalmádena and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol — conceived for buyers who expect hotel-grade service within a private residence. The project comprises 70 deluxe apartments, 49 garden villas, 25 sky villas and 20 sky penthouses, with interiors ranging from 89 m² to 116 m² across two- and three-bedroom configurations. Architecture draws from the language of the adjacent Higuerón Hotel — corten steel, stone and timber — and the four blocks are named after contemporary artists Leiro, Brinkmann, Darko and Alfil, with curated sculptures placed throughout the grounds alongside over 1,000 planted olive, pine and cypress trees. Residents have access to the full service programme of the Hilton Curio Collection five-star hotel, 300 metres away. With 156 of 159 tracked units sold, only three remain — completion is recorded between summer and the end of 2025.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With 156 of 159 units sold and completion recorded for 2025, Higuerón South Residences is effectively a completed, near-sold-out development. The three remaining homes represent the final opportunity to enter at new-build pricing. The broader Benalmádena Pueblo market averages approximately €3,200 per m² across all stock; this development's entry price of €790,000 for 89 m² implies a rate well above area norms — reflecting the hotel-service proposition and scarcity premium that the absorption rate itself confirms.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Completed 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

3 of 159 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.

Higuerón South Residences 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 €8,876 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.

El Higuerón occupies a privileged corridor between the foothills of the Málaga mountains and the Mediterranean coastline — a location that delivers both altitude views and immediate beach access without compromise. The climate averages a daily high of 21 °C year-round, with a low of 14.4 °C, making outdoor living genuinely practical across all seasons. The Higuerón Hotel anchors the immediate neighbourhood with its spa, restaurants and fitness facilities, all within a two-minute walk. Fuengirola's marina and town centre lie to the south; Benalmádena Pueblo's whitewashed old quarter sits to the north. Málaga city, with its international airport — the second busiest in Spain — is accessible in well under half an hour.

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 Higuerón South Residences a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Higuerón South Residences 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 Higuerón South Residences?

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 Higuerón South Residences 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 Higuerón South Residences 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 Completed stage, Higuerón South Residences 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.
