Lighthouse Higuerón Residences is an exclusive boutique development comprising just 18 luxury apartments starting from €885,000. Perched on an elevated hillside in El Higuerón, each two- and three-bedroom residence ranges between 106 and 123 square metres. Designed for scheduled completion in Q4 2026, the development offers sophisticated Mediterranean living with panoramic views.
Situated on an elevated hillside within the prestigious El Higuerón area of Fuengirola, the development commands sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Residents benefit from a beachside setting close to the sea, local shops, schools, and town amenities. Its elevated position ensures an inspiring coastal backdrop from dawn to dusk.
Each home is designed to blend indoor and outdoor living seamlessly through expansive private terraces. Living areas and master bedrooms are specifically oriented to maximize sea views, complemented by premium finishes and exceptional craftsmanship by Porcelanosa. Modern comforts include underfloor heating in the bathrooms, hot and cold air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, and integrated domotics.
On-site amenities include an infinity swimming pool overlooking the sea, a jacuzzi, and a fully equipped fitness centre set within landscaped gardens.

Positioned for effortless regional travel, the development sits just 2 minutes from Carvajal train station and 5 minutes from El Higuerón Restaurant. Málaga International Airport is accessible in only 18 minutes, making international connections straightforward. The community combines peaceful hillside seclusion with close proximity to essential transit links.
El Higuerón operates as the most prominent premium residential enclave within the municipality of Fuengirola. The local administration, the Ayuntamiento de Fuengirola, maintains the public infrastructure across this sector, which has seen substantial modernization over the last decade. Buyers in this specific postcode are heavily weighted towards Northern European expatriates, with Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Dutch purchasers forming a significant portion of the community. They are joined by a robust domestic market of high-net-worth individuals seeking primary residences or secure seasonal properties. Property values in the El Higuerón sector trade at a noticeable premium compared to the dense urban grid of central Fuengirola. This price action is driven by the strict low-density zoning laws, the integration of modern architectural standards, and the uninterrupted sightlines over the coastline provided by the steep topography. Unlike older, high-rise resales located down in Los Boliches or Torreblanca, new construction in this specific hillside sector commands top-tier pricing due to the absolute scarcity of available plots that can offer both elevation and proximity to the w…
Access to the coastline is highly efficient for residents. Playa de Carvajal is the closest stretch of sand, located a short 4-minute drive down the winding hill roads. This particular beach is recognized for its wide, clean promenade, known formally as the Paseo Marítimo Rey de España, and its family-friendly environment with calm waters. Further west along the N-340 coastal road, residents can reach Playa de Torreblanca in 7 minutes and the lively Playa de Los Boliches in 10 minutes. For those who prefer to walk, the descent from the development to the Carvajal beachfront takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes on foot, though buyers should note that the return journey involves a steep incline requiring a good level of fitness. The beachfront itself is lined with traditional Andalucian chiringuitos serving fresh sardines on skewers, alongside contemporary beach clubs that provide a varied dining and lounging scene right on the sand.
The local culinary landscape offers distinct options ranging from Michelin-starred venues to long-established seafood restaurants. Sollo, located within the nearby Higuerón hotel complex, holds a Michelin star for its highly innovative river fish and caviar tasting menus, and is reachable in just 3 minutes by car. Down on the coastal road in Fuengirola, Los Marinos Jose is widely regarded by food critics as one of the premier seafood destinations in all of Andalucia, situated exactly an 8-minute drive from the development. For daily dining and convenience, the commercial centre at the top of the El Higuerón estate provides a well-stocked supermarket, a pharmacy, a dry cleaner, and several casual cafes. Central Fuengirola, a 12-minute drive away, expands these options exponentially with hundreds of tapas bars, international restaurants, and retail outlets centred around the bustling Plaza de la Constitución and the adjacent pedestrianised streets.
Golfers have immediate access to several highly rated courses within a short driving radius, making the location highly practical for regular players. Torrequebrada Golf, an 18-hole championship course known for its challenging layout, mature trees, and intermittent sea views, is located 14 minutes away in the neighbouring municipality of Benalmádena. Chaparral Golf Club, set uniquely within a dense pine forest and offering a demanding 18-hole track, is a 16-minute drive to the west along the A-7 highway. Mijas Golf, featuring two distinct 18-hole courses named Los Lagos and Los Olivos, both designed by the renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Snr, can be reached in 20 minutes. The strategic location of Lighthouse Higuerón Residences allows players to reach over a dozen prominent golf clubs, including those in the Mijas Golf Valley, within a 30-minute transit window.
Families looking to relocate permanently will find excellent educational facilities nearby, catering to both international and domestic curriculums. The British College of Benalmádena, offering the UK curriculum for primary and secondary students up to A-Levels, is an 11-minute drive from the property. Salliver College, a highly regarded bilingual Spanish private school that consistently ranks among the best in the region, is located in the Los Boliches area and takes approximately 10 minutes to reach by car. St. Anthony's College, another established British international school with a long history on the coast, is situated near the Mijas road and requires a 15-minute commute. The close proximity to these respected institutions makes the El Higuerón neighbourhood a highly practical and desirable choice for year-round family living.
Transport links are a primary draw for this specific location, offering flexibility for both local and international commuting. The Carvajal train station, part of the highly efficient C-1 Cercanías line, connects directly to Málaga International Airport, the Plaza Mayor shopping district, and the Maria Zambrano high-speed AVE station in Málaga city centre. Trains run every 20 minutes, providing a reliable and stress-free alternative to driving along the coast. By car, the AP-7 toll motorway and the A-7 coastal highway are accessible within 4 minutes from the property. This rapid highway access allows residents to reach the centre of Marbella in 35 minutes and the luxury commercial hub of Puerto Banús in 40 minutes. The 18-minute drive to Málaga International Airport ensures that early morning flights and frequent international travel are easily manageable without excessive departure times.
Healthcare and large-scale retail are also within easy reach. The Miramar Shopping Centre, located on the western edge of Fuengirola, is a 15-minute drive and houses over a hundred international brand stores, a large Carrefour hypermarket, and a multi-screen cinema complex. For medical needs, the Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Victoria in Málaga is accessible in 25 minutes via the AP-7, while the private Hospital Quirónsalud Marbella is a 30-minute drive to the west. Locally, the Centro Médico Xanit in Fuengirola provides private outpatient care and specialist consultations just 12 minutes from the development, ensuring peace of mind for residents requiring immediate medical attention or routine appointments.
Prices range from €885,000 to €1,275,000 for these new development properties. The homes feature 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with built areas spanning 106-123 m2. Each unit includes a private terrace, a storage room, and a garage with an EV charge point.
Because this is a new build in Andalucia, buyers pay 10% IVA and 1.2% AJD stamp duty instead of ITP. On an entry price of €885,000, that equals €88,500 in IVA and €10,620 in AJD. You should also budget roughly €8,850 for legal fees, plus 0.5% to 1% for combined notary and registry costs.
Buyers pay a reservation deposit, followed by staged instalments during construction, and the final balance at completion. Every payment made before completion is legally protected by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. This protection is mandated under Ley 38/1999 as amended by Ley 20/2015, ensuring your funds are secure if the developer fails to deliver.
The developer states the expected delivery timeframe for this project is Q4 2026. However, the legally binding delivery date will be the specific date written into your private purchase contract. If the developer misses this contracted date, your bank guarantees allow you to reclaim your staged payments.
The exact community fee is not yet recorded for this off-plan project. The final figure will be determined by the cost of maintaining the communal pool, the landscaped gardens, the gym, and the lifts. It will also cover the upkeep of the domotics systems and the entry phone security.
The primary annual municipal tax is the IBI, which is set by the Fuengirola ayuntamiento based on the cadastral value of the finished property. Since the homes are still under construction, the exact IBI is not yet fixed. You will also pay an annual basuras fee for rubbish collection and individual electricity bills for your underfloor heating in the bathrooms.
Short-term rentals are permitted, but you must register the property with the Junta de Andalucia to obtain a VFT tourist licence. Fuengirola is a high-demand area for holidaymakers, particularly properties close to the sea with a pool and jacuzzi. You must comply with local municipal zoning rules, which currently allow licensed rentals in residential developments like this one.
Lighthouse Higuerón Residences is located beachside, meaning you are very close to the sea. Carvajal Beach is just a 3-minute drive or a short walk down the hill. This proximity makes the location highly convenient for daily beach access without needing to navigate heavy highway traffic.
Torrequebrada Golf in neighboring Benalmadena is roughly a 15-minute drive from the property. Chaparral Golf Club in Mijas Costa is also accessible within 20 minutes via the A-7 highway. Both courses offer full 18-hole layouts and practice facilities for residents.
The development is close to several educational options for families relocating to Spain. St. Anthony's College in Mijas is about a 15-minute drive away, offering the British curriculum. The British College of Benalmadena is even closer, taking roughly 10 minutes by car along the coast road.
Malaga Airport is a straightforward 20-minute drive via the AP-7 toll road or the A-7 highway. The development is also near transport links, including the Carvajal train station which is about 5 minutes away. This local train line connects directly to the airport and Malaga city centre.
Fuengirola is a working coastal town with a permanent population, ensuring that shops, clinics, and restaurants remain open all year. The town centre is a 10-minute drive away, offering large supermarkets like Miramar Shopping Centre and daily municipal markets. This infrastructure makes it highly practical for full-time residents who want urban conveniences close to the sea.
