Last updated: 20 October 2026
About Evoque
With most developments, the apartment is the main event and the pool a bonus. Evoque almost turns that around. The development in the upper part of El Higuerón builds a complete living environment around the homes: three types of pool, a spa, a yoga room, a jogging track, a gastrobar, a cinema room and even a communal kitchen garden. The idea is that you don't need to leave. In our data, prices start at €449,000.
There are apartments with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. Ground-floor homes get a private garden, middle floors a terrace, and the penthouses have a large roof terrace with a jacuzzi or private pool. Every home has a parking space and a storage room. The five homes we currently see have 2 or 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with 105 to 141 m² built. Another source mentions 203 apartments spread over 7 blocks.
The development sits at around 184 metres above sea level, which explains the wide sea views that, according to the project description, can be seen from almost every home. It is an off-plan new build, with no show home. In our data, completion is planned for December 2028.

Evoque in figures
Evoque is among the cheapest new builds per m² in Fuengirola. The median of €4,371 per m² is 24% below that of new builds in the municipality (€5,779 per m², 27 developments) and even 2% below resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², idealista, September 2026). So here you pay less for a new build with sea views than for an average resale home. The €449,000 ground-floor apartment costs you around €507,388 all in: €44,900 VAT, €5,388 stamp duty, €2,700 notary and €5,400 lawyer. The downside: the terraces are small, with outdoor space equal to 21% of the built area; only 11% of the developments compared score lower. A third bedroom costs around €150,000 extra.
| Price | € 449.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 44.900 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 5.388 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 2.700 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 5.400 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
| 2 bedrooms | from €449,000 |
| 3 bedrooms | from €599,000 |
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 11% of new developments in Fuengirola. Largest outdoor space: 43 m².
Planned completion December 2028. For half of the new developments in Fuengirola, completion is within 14 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current listings of 27 new developments in Fuengirola and the average asking price of resale homes in Fuengirola according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
El Higuerón lies on the ridge between Fuengirola and Benalmádena. Evoque is in the upper part, far enough from the coast for peace and views, but close to the AP-7 motorway, which puts the rest of the coast within easy reach. The area is largely residential, with villas, new complexes and few shops. According to the project description, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Mijas Pueblo are each around 4 km away, the beach around 2.5 km.
For groceries you drive 2 minutes to Carrefour; on foot it is 19 minutes. Playa de Torreblanca is 7 minutes by car; walking takes 41 minutes, and the way back is uphill. Vithas Xanit hospital is 8 minutes away, Fuengirola town centre 10. You can reach Benalmádena marina in 15 minutes, Málaga Airport in 22.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

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. Evoque sits at around 184 metres above sea level.
All available homes in our data have sea views, thanks to the position at around 184 metres above sea level. Another source mentions a south-east orientation for some of the homes; we check this for each home.
Homes and finishes
Every home gets a fully fitted designer kitchen with appliances and aerothermal air conditioning that you control room by room. The windows have high-performance double glazing, the floors are large-format porcelain and the bathrooms are fitted out with materials from leading brands. Home automation is built in. Only the penthouses get underfloor heating. The development has an A energy rating. With so many shared facilities we always request an estimate of the monthly community fees, because a heated indoor pool and a spa cost money.
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 Evoque through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Evoque
Strengths
- Price per m² 24% below the Fuengirola new-build median and 2% below resale homes.
- Sea views from all available homes, thanks to the elevated position in El Higuerón.
- An exceptional range of facilities: indoor pool, spa, yoga, jogging track and cinema.
- Parking space and storage room included with every home.
- Málaga Airport a 22-minute drive and the hospital 8 minutes away.
Points to consider
- Small terraces: 20 to 43 m², with outdoor space in the lowest 11% of the developments compared.
- Beach a 41-minute walk away over hilly terrain, so you need a car.
- Completion in December 2028; another source says late 2027, so have the date confirmed.
- Lots of facilities mean higher community fees than in a simple complex.
- A large development with many residents, not for those after a small-scale setting.
Who is Evoque right for?
Evoque suits buyers who want a sea-view apartment at an average price and who will genuinely use the facilities: people who spend long winters here, do sport or work from Spain. It is also a logical choice for letting to guests looking for a resort feel. Less suitable if you want lots of outdoor space, want to walk to the beach every day or consider low running costs important.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?

- 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.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Evoque
Is Fuengirola a good place to spend the winter?
Fuengirola is a firm favourite with international buyers for spending the winter. Evoque has an asset that few developments offer for that: a heated indoor pool and a spa, so you can swim on cooler winter days too.
What does the cheapest apartment at Evoque cost?
The cheapest apartment in our data is a 2-bedroom ground-floor home for €449,000. With taxes and costs you come to around €507,388, or 13% on top of the price.
Do the penthouses at Evoque have a private pool?
According to the project description, the penthouses get a large roof terrace with a jacuzzi or a private pool. We check for each penthouse which of the two it has.
How far is Evoque from the beach?
Playa de Torreblanca is a 7-minute drive away. On foot it is 41 minutes, partly uphill. If you want to go to the beach every day, you are better off taking the car.
Do I pay more if I buy Evoque 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 Evoque, that adds up to around 13.0%.
