What’s being built in Fuengirola?

New-build projects in Fuengirola vary depending on the area of the city, adapting to each buyer’s lifestyle:

1. Luxury residential developments (El Higuerón area): The most exclusive and ambitious promotions are located in the prestigious El Higuerón area. Highlights include off-plan and under-construction projects focused on holistic wellbeing, self-sufficiency, and eco-design. These developments feature landscaped gardens, independent jacuzzis, infinity pools, two parking spaces included, and access to private sports clubs.

Large-scale projects are already underway, combining seamlessly a peaceful, residential setting with close proximity to schools and services—ideal for living all year round.

3. Urban and beachfront buildings (Downtown, Los Boliches, and Carvajal): For those who love city life and immediate access to the sea, impressive towers and boutique complexes are being built with front-row views of the Mediterranean. They offer all modern conveniences just steps from the coastline and public transport.
