Waterfall Residences, in context.

Waterfall Residences sits within the gated Higuerón Resort at El Higuerón, on the hillside between Benalmádena Pueblo, Mijas and Fuengirola. It is aimed at buyers who want resort infrastructure without hotel compromise.

The wider scheme comprises 233 homes across seven three-floor blocks — named for the world's waterfalls — set on a 26,272 m² plot with more than 7,000 m² of landscaped grounds.

Homes carry BREEAM ES certification, aerothermal heating, underfloor heating, smart-home controls and specification from Bosch, Miele, Dekton and Technal. Most units face southwest with sea views. Of the 73 apartments in the current release, 69 are already committed — leaving four available at the time of writing, priced from €720,000 to €1,625,000.

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. Waterfall Residences currently sits in the Under construction band.

Roccabox analyst view

With 69 of 73 apartments in this release already sold and construction underway since January 2025, the buying window here is narrow rather than speculative. The four remaining homes offer completion visibility for Q1 2027 without the timeline risk of a pre-launch. Against a Benalmádena Pueblo resale market averaging roughly €3,231 per m², the pricing reflects resort membership, BREEAM certification and full smart-home specification — factors resale stock rarely matches. Reserving now secures choice of the final units.

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 73 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.

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 Waterfall Residences a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Waterfall 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 Waterfall 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 Waterfall 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 Waterfall 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 Under construction stage, Waterfall 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.
