Higuerón - Luxury Living Above the Coast

Strategically placed between Benalmádena's and Fuengirola's hills, El Higuerón has quickly become one of the Costa del Sol's most sought-after residential addresses. Renowned for its striking modern design, breathtaking views of the sea, healthy living, and luxurious resort facilities, Higuerón's charm is ideal for those who value design, security, and convenience within a peaceful and secluded setting.

The development is centered on the luxury Higuerón Resort, where high-end real estate is complemented by five-star hotel services, international-class sports facilities, and gourmet restaurants. With 24-hour protection, a secure community feel, and convenient access to both Málaga and Marbella, Higuerón is an ideal destination for full-time residents, second-home owners, and investors.

Whether you're drifting amidst the views from your infinity pool, enjoying sushi with the spa, or trekking down to beach club level, Higuerón offers a lifestyle like a holiday for life—perfectly balanced, beautiful, and naturally high-end.

Dining: Wellness and Global Flavours at Your Doorstep

Higuerón's gastronomic scene combines luxury, health-awareness, and international style. At its center lies The Michelin-starred SOLLO, under the guidance of Chef Diego Gallegos, presenting creative, eco-friendly gourmet cuisine with breathtaking ocean views. Alternatively, a more casual atmosphere is available at Arara Bistro Bar, blending South American and European flavors in a vibrant, lively environment.

The Higuerón Beach Club, down on the beach in Carvajal itself, offers Mediterranean staples and specialty cocktails on the sand—perfect for lazy, all-afternoon lingering.

Within easy walking distance are more choices in neighboring Fuengirola and Benalmádena Pueblo, from tapas restaurants to international cuisine. No matter your culinary pleasure, life at Higuerón puts the best of the Costa del Sol within minutes.

Shopping: Local Convenience Meets Designer Access

Higuerón offers privacy and convenience. Close by is Altos del Higuerón Commercial Centre with a Carrefour, cafes, pharmacy, boutiques, and service providers for quick and easy daily tasks.

For bigger retail therapy, residents head to Plaza Mayor Shopping Park, Parque Miramar, or chic Puerto Banús boutiques—all within a quick 20–30-minute drive. You can browse international names, Spanish brands, and gourmet shops, all on the doorstep.

Healthcare: High Quality and Convenient

The residents of Higuerón have easy access to high-quality healthcare. The neighborhood is in a 10–15-minute radius of some of the most renowned clinics and hospitals, including Vithas Xanit Internacional Hospital and Hospital Costa del Sol. Both offer private care, multilingual health staff, and the complete range of medical and specialist services.

There are local private medical clinics and pharmacies in the local towns and communities as well, so peace of mind and well-being go hand in hand.

Education: Excellence Within Easy Reach

There are some great school choices to offer to families living in Higuerón, too. There's The British College of Benalmádena, Svenska Skolan Costa del Sol, and St. Anthony's College, all great international schools offering English or bilingual teaching.

Spanish state and private schools in Fuengirola, Benalmádena, and Torremuelle are also equally well ranked. With convenient access to the A-7 motorway and close proximity to train stations, families enjoy brief and scenic school commutes.

Sports & Wellness: The Heart of Higuerón Life

Wellness is not merely a privilege at Higuerón—it's a lifestyle. The Higuerón Sport Club is one of the most state-of-the-art in southern Spain, featuring tennis and padel courts, a fully equipped gym, indoor and outdoor pools, personal training sessions, pilates, yoga, and wellness programs.

The Higuerón Spa pairs with holistic treatments, hydrotherapy circuits, saunas, and beauty treatments, so it's simple to recharge and restart without ever having to leave home.

Residents also enjoy access to hiking trails, cycling routes, and seaside promenades, all with stunning views of the sea and the mountains. Golfers are only a few minutes' drive from Torrequebrada, Mijas Golf, and Chaparral, so Higuerón is ideal for an active lifestyle in every sense.

Higuerón is a great place to raise a family. Gated communities, 24-hour security, and broad landscaped streets offer children room to run around, while their parents can enjoy peace of mind. Most neighborhoods have community swimming pools, gardens, playgrounds, and social areas, allowing it to become a loving, international community.

Whether it's dropping your children off at school, heading down to the beach club for the weekend, or enjoying evenings out on the terrace, Higuerón makes every encounter seamless and elevated.
