El Higuerón is a gated hillside community between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, built around the five-star Higuerón Hotel, its sport club and spa. Elevated above the coast, most homes enjoy open sea views, while the community offers padel and tennis courts, a Beach Club on the sand, a private shuttle and 24-hour security.
The area has become one of the strongest apartment markets on the Costa del Sol: 20 minutes from Málaga airport, direct access to the A-7, and a train connection from Carvajal to Málaga city and the airport. Demand from Scandinavian, British and Benelux buyers is consistent, supporting both resale values and rental yields.
