Apartments for sale in Fuengirola

Apartment living in Fuengirola

Fuengirola is a compact, lively seaside town and an apartment town above all. You do not need a car here: the beach, shops, markets, restaurants, healthcare and the Cercanías train to the airport and Málaga are all within walking distance. That makes Fuengirola popular with retirees, winter residents and people who want to live all year in a town with a buzz. The Scandinavian community is large, with its own schools and associations.

On the Paseo Marítimo you buy frontline with sea views, while the centre puts you close to the marina and shopping streets. Los Boliches is a little quieter and more Spanish, with its own beach and train stop. For more space and sea views, look at Torreblanca and Carvajal, on the hills towards Benalmádena, or Los Pacos and El Coto on the edge of town.

Prices and demand

Idealista recorded an average asking price of €4,452 per m² in Fuengirola in September 2026, up 1.1% on a year earlier. On average €500,000 buys around 110 m²: a two, sometimes three-bedroom apartment, with sea views commanding a clear premium. Most apartments are resale stock from the 1970s onwards; new builds are scarce and appear mainly on the hills of Torreblanca and Carvajal or on individual plots in town.

What to check when buying

With older buildings, condition is crucial: ask about recent or planned works, the lift and the community fees. Check whether the apartment has parking, as parking in the centre is difficult. Look at orientation and street noise and, if you plan to let, whether holiday rentals are allowed in the building and whether a licence exists. Long-term rentals are in high demand in Fuengirola.
