New-Build 3-Bed Penthouse in El Higuerón, Fuengirola

This new-build penthouse in El Higuerón, Fuengirola, delivers three bedrooms and two bathrooms within a compact 128 m² layout. Positioned in the hillside enclave above the coast, the unit benefits from the elevated setting that defines the Higuerón zone — a neighbourhood that has attracted sustained development interest over the past decade. At 128 m², the floor plan prioritises efficiency over sprawl. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged to maximise usable living space, and the new-build specification ensures modern energy performance and finishes. Communal pool and elevator access are included, adding convenience to a building designed for low-maintenance ownership. El Higuerón falls within the Mijas market, where 39 properties are currently listed and the average price per m² is €7,851. At €1,690,000, this penthouse prices at approximately €13,203 per m², reflecting the premium that the Higuerón brand and elevated position command. Penthouses dominate the area with 25 of 39 active listings, indicating strong buyer preference for top-floor units along this corridor. This property suits buyers who want a contemporary penthouse in a recognised address without the footprint or budget of the larger Higuerón units. It works well as a lock-and-leave residence for owners splitting time between northern Europe and the coast, or as a considered entry point into a development zone with established demand.
