Higueron sits on the hillside between Fuengirola and Benalmadena, built around a collection of modern developments that have become synonymous with resort-style apartment living. Almost every property here is an apartment, most within gated complexes that offer gyms, pools, and spa facilities as standard.
The apartment stock in Higueron skews heavily contemporary. Most buildings were completed within the last two decades, designed with open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling glass, and generous terraces that take full advantage of sea views and southern exposure. Ground-floor units often include private gardens, while penthouses come with rooftop solariums. Parking and storage are typically included, and many complexes are built into the hillside with lifts that connect different levels. Buyers here are drawn to a lifestyle built around on-site amenities. Developments often share facilities with a central sports and wellness hub, giving residents access to indoor and outdoor pools, paddle courts, saunas, and coworking spaces without leaving the complex. It is a self-contained model that suits international buyers who divide their time between countries and want security, convenience, and a turnkey experience. The architecture is polished, the landscaping maintained, and the communal areas designed to feel like a private club. The hillside setting means most apartments enjoy unobstructed views across the coast or toward the mountains, but it also means a car is useful for daily errands. Fuengirola town centre is a short drive down the hill, and the beach at Carvajal is equally close. A suburban train line runs along the coast with a station nearby, connecting you to Malaga airport and the wider Costa del Sol. The environment is quiet and green, more suburban than urban, with golf courses and hiking trails within easy reach. Choosing an apartment in Higueron means accepting a model where community fees are higher than in older coastal towns, but those fees fund a level of service and facility that standalone homes cannot match. This is not a place for buyers seeking village character or a walking-distance town lifestyle. It is purpose-built for those who want modern construction, professional management, and a social infrastructure that requires little effort to maintain.
