About this property

Overview

Higuerón Bay Residences - KEY READY is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, priced from €567,000 to €881,000. These 60 units are completed and available for immediate occupation, which removes the construction wait and payment stage uncertainty that comes with off-plan purchases. The development sits within the El Higuerón resort complex, 500 metres from the beach promenade and 300 metres from Carvajal train station, which connects directly to Málaga Airport and the city centre. All apartments face south or south-west, with underfloor heating throughout and aerothermal climate control systems.

Built sizes range from 84 to 128 square metres across two and three-bedroom layouts, each with two bathrooms. Ground floor positioning means direct access to private terraces, which are described as very large relative to the built area. The gated community includes a heated swimming pool, jacuzzis, a gym, and a coworking space. Kitchens and bathrooms are fitted with named European brands, though specific manufacturers are not disclosed in the sales literature. The architects are González & Jacobsen, a Madrid-based practice with a portfolio of residential projects across southern Spain. On-site after-sales service is provided, and furniture packages are available for buyers who want a turnkey solution.

Fuengirola has become a year-round residential town rather than a seasonal resort, attracting Northern European retirees, remote workers, and Spanish families who want coastal access without Marbella pricing. The train line is significant: Carvajal station is a six-minute walk from the development, with services to Málaga Airport in 25 minutes and to Fuengirola town centre in under ten minutes. The beach promenade runs for seven kilometres between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, lined with beach clubs, chiringuitos, and cycle paths. El Higuerón itself is a hillside area above the coast road, which means some developments here involve steep access roads or long walks to the beach. This project is closer to sea level than most El Higuerón schemes, but buyers should verify the gradient between the apartment and the promenade on foot before committing.

These apartments are completed and ready for immediate handover. Because they are key-ready rather than off-plan, the standard Spanish staged payment structure does not apply. Buyers typically pay a reservation deposit, exchange contracts with a further deposit, and settle the balance on completion, all within a compressed timeframe of weeks rather than months. Independent legal representation is essential, particularly to verify community fees, which in resort-style developments with extensive amenities can be higher than in standard residential blocks. The development is managed by the Higuerón group, which operates the wider resort including hotels, a sports club, and restaurants, so the community infrastructure is already established rather than speculative.

Higuerón Bay Residences - KEY READY: Frequently Asked Questions

The price covers the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private garden or communal pool depending on your unit. Higuerón Bay Residences offers ground floor apartments ranging from €567,000 to €881,000, with all units including these core amenities as standard.

Higuerón Bay Residences is situated in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, right on the beachfront. This location puts you steps from the beach with direct access to the coast and all the local amenities Fuengirola offers.

Higuerón Bay Residences offers 2 and 3 bedroom ground floor apartments, with built sizes ranging from 84 to 128 square metres. The larger 3 bedroom units at the top of the range provide more space while maintaining the same beachside location.

Yes, all units at Higuerón Bay Residences feature sea views and south-facing orientation, which means excellent natural light and views across the water. The ground floor positioning combined with the beachfront location makes these views a key feature of the development.

Higuerón Bay Residences is expected to be completed and key-ready on 30 March 2026. This timeline allows the developer UR-2 ESTACION to deliver fully finished apartments ready for immediate occupation.

Buying off-plan in Fuengirola means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
