Last updated: 20 October 2026
About 16+ Collection
The name refers to the frontage: every home at 16+ Collection is more than 16 metres wide. That is unusual for an apartment and means almost every room is at the front, with light and views. The development has just 19 homes, and they all share the same base: 130 m², 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms of which one en suite, a guest WC, a utility room and an open-plan kitchen. The difference lies outside. The homes are completed and there is a show home.
There are three variants. On the ground floor you get a garden with a private pool: in our data, a home with a 169 m² terrace and a 184 m² plot for €1,350,000. On the first floor is a home with a 59 m² terrace and jacuzzi for €1,190,000, the entry price. At the top is the penthouse with a solarium, jacuzzi and 187 m² terrace, for €1,670,000. Every home has 2 parking spaces, a storage room and energy rating A.
The development is in the Buenavista urbanisation, in the upper part of El Higuerón, against the green slopes of the Sierra de Mijas. Residents share pools for adults and children, gardens with fruit trees and a vegetable garden, green areas and a coworking space. Owners can use a shuttle service. With 19 homes it stays quiet and you know your neighbours, something you will not find in the large complexes in the area.

16+ Collection in figures
What you are mainly buying here is outdoor space. For the median home, outdoor space amounts to 130% of the living area, placing this development in the top 4% in Fuengirola. That comes at a price: the median of €10,385 per m² is 80% above the municipality's new-build median (€5,779, 27 projects) and 133% above resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², idealista, September 2026). So if you compare per m², you will be taken aback, but a 187 m² terrace does not count in that calculation. For the €1,190,000 home, budget around €1,344,780 all in: €119,000 VAT, €14,280 stamp duty, €7,100 notary and €14,400 lawyer. The advantage: the development is already completed, while other new builds in Fuengirola are on average still 14 months away.
| Price | € 1.190.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 119.000 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 14.280 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 7.100 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 14.400 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.

Location
Buenavista is part of the hillside area of El Higuerón, above Carvajal, on the border between Fuengirola and Benalmádena. The development sits at around 258 metres, higher than most homes in the area. That gives open views over the coast and the valley, and a sense of calm far above the bustle of the promenade. The surroundings are green and residential, with a hotel, sports club and restaurants within the urbanisation. Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Mijas Pueblo are all a short distance away.
At this height a car is essential. Playa de Torreblanca is a 7-minute drive, but 54 minutes on foot. Carrefour is 3 minutes away. The private school Novaschool in Benalmádena and Vithas Xanit hospital are each 9 minutes away. Fuengirola centre is 10 minutes away, Benalmádena marina 15. Málaga airport is a 22-minute drive.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:00 on 21 June and sets at 21:40, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. 16+ Collection sits at around 258 metres above sea level.
According to our data, all three homes have sea views, and the developer also mentions mountain views. Another source gives a south-west orientation, with sun for most of the day.
Homes and finishes
The finish is one of the strong points. Ceilings are 3 metres high, there is underfloor heating throughout and heating and hot water run on aerothermal energy. The kitchens are Italian-made and some homes have home automation. Because the homes are already finished, you can see everything on site. For a key-ready home, we check the occupancy licence, the first occupation certificate, the warranties on the installations and the community fees, which can be higher in a small development with many facilities.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for 16+ Collection through Privé.

Our honest verdict on 16+ Collection
Strengths
- Key-ready with a show home: you see exactly what you are buying.
- Frontage of more than 16 metres, so plenty of light and views in every home.
- Exceptional outdoor space, up to a 187 m² terrace with the penthouse.
- Just 19 homes, quieter than the large complexes nearby.
- High 3-metre ceilings, underfloor heating throughout and energy rating A.
- Garden home with a private pool and a 184 m² plot.
Points to consider
- At €10,385 per m², you pay more than double the price of a resale home in Fuengirola.
- Beach a 54-minute walk away; without a car you are limited here.
- All homes have 130 m² and 3 bedrooms: little choice in size.
- Other sites show different prices and numbers, so ask for the current list.
- Many shared facilities for few owners can push up the community fees.
Who is 16+ Collection right for?
16+ Collection is made for buyers who want to enjoy their home straight away and value outdoor space more than a low price per m². Think of couples or families who spend a lot of time on the terrace, or who want a garden with a pool without the hassle of a villa. It is less suitable if you want to live without a car, calculate per m² or are looking for a yield investment.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.

Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.

Frequently asked questions about 16+ Collection
Why is the development called 16+ Collection?
Every home has a frontage more than 16 metres wide. As a result, the living room and bedrooms are largely at the front, with plenty of daylight and views. That is unusually wide for an apartment.
Is 16+ Collection already finished?
Yes. According to our data, the development has been completed since September 2025 and there is a show home. So you can visit the homes on site before you decide.
Is Fuengirola a good place to spend the winter?
For many international buyers, yes. In December you still get almost 10 hours of daylight. From this height you can see the coast, and with underfloor heating throughout, the home stays comfortable in winter too.
Does every home have a private pool?
No. The ground-floor homes have a garden with a private pool. The homes on the upper floors and the penthouses have a jacuzzi on the terrace or solarium. There are also communal pools.
Do I pay more if I buy 16+ Collection through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in 16+ Collection, that adds up to around 13.0%.
