About this property

Overview

Higueron South Residences is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom middle floor apartments for sale in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, priced from €790,000 to €1,950,000. The project is directly affiliated with Higuerón Hotel Curio Collection by Hilton 5*, meaning buyers acquire not just a residence but access to the hotel's full service infrastructure, from concierge to spa facilities. The architecture follows the hotel's design language, using corten steel, stone and timber in a contemporary aesthetic that distinguishes it from the white render developments that dominate much of this coastline. The four residential blocks are named after contemporary artists: Leiro, Brinkmann, Darko and Alfil, and the interiors incorporate curated art pieces as part of the common areas.

Built sizes range from 89 to 116 m² across the two and three-bedroom layouts. Each apartment has two bathrooms and features elongated sliding glass doors designed to increase natural light penetration and expand sight lines to the surrounding landscape. The development comprises 164 units in total, divided into 70 Deluxe Apartments, 49 Garden Villas, 25 Sky Villas and 20 Sky Penthouses, though only the middle floor apartments fall within the bedroom and price parameters stated here. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and landscaping that uses native Mediterranean planting rather than imported species. The hotel affiliation means residents can book treatments, dining reservations and housekeeping through the same systems available to hotel guests, a model more common in North American resort developments than on the Costa del Sol.

Fuengirola sits roughly midway between Málaga Airport, 23 minutes east by motorway, and Marbella, 35 minutes west. The town attracts a high proportion of Scandinavian and British buyers, many of whom have owned here since the 1980s and 1990s, creating an established expatriate infrastructure with year-round services rather than the seasonal closures seen in smaller coastal villages. The Higuerón Hotel itself is set back from the seafront on elevated ground above the A7 coast road, which means the residences benefit from hillside views but require a car for beach access or town centre errands. Fuengirola's long promenade, wide sandy beaches and working marina give it a different character to the more manicured resort enclaves further west, and property prices here have historically lagged behind Marbella and Estepona, making this price point relatively high for the immediate area.

This is an off-plan purchase. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. Exact amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish property lawyer from the outset, particularly given the hotel service agreement, which will have ongoing fee implications that need reviewing before contracts are signed. The numbered room system mirrors hotel practice, so your apartment might be 307 rather than Apartment 3, Block B.

Higueron South Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

The price covers the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. Higueron South Residences also includes a private garden space with each property, so you get outdoor living built into your purchase from day one.

Higueron South Residences sits right on the beachfront in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, giving you direct access to the beach and Mediterranean views. The location puts you close to local restaurants, shops, and amenities while maintaining a residential feel away from the busiest tourist areas.

Higueron South Residences offers 2 and 3 bedroom apartments ranging from 89 to 116 square metres, so there's flexibility depending on whether you need a compact home or more space for family or guests. Prices start at €790,000 for the 2-bedroom units and go up to €1,950,000 for the larger 3-bedroom options.

Yes, sea views are a key feature of Higueron South Residences thanks to its beachfront position, and many units take full advantage of this with direct Mediterranean vistas. The combination of sea views, private gardens, and beach access makes Higueron South Residences particularly attractive for those wanting coastal living.

Higueron South Residences is scheduled for completion in November 2025, so you're looking at a relatively near-term delivery. This timeline gives you a clear date to plan your move or investment strategy around this beachfront property.

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.
