About Korall Residences
In Fuengirola you usually buy an apartment. A single-family home with its own garden, two parking spaces and sea views is more the exception in this town. Korall Residences responds to that with townhouses in Torreblanca, the hilly district on the eastern side of Fuengirola, towards Benalmádena. According to another agent, the development has 28 homes, built in tiers over four levels so that the upper rows look out over the lower ones to the sea.
Our data lists one home: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 129 m² built and 120 m² usable, on a 46 m² plot. The open-plan kitchen flows into a spacious living room, and all bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. Outside you have an 11 m² terrace and a private garden. Two parking spaces and a storage room are included. The asking price is €810,000. For an extra charge you can have a private pool built.
The complex is gated and has a communal pool, a gym and a coworking space, handy if you keep working from Spain. The homes will have energy rating B. Completion is planned for 1 February 2028, and there is no show home. You are buying off-plan, so it pays to study the building specification and the position of your row carefully before you reserve.

Korall Residences in figures
At €6,279 per m², Korall Residences sits 9% above the new-build median in Fuengirola (€5,779, 27 developments) and 41% above resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², Idealista, September 2026). So you pay a premium for new build and the type of home. The €810,000 home costs around €915,420 all in: €81,000 VAT, €9,720 stamp duty, €4,900 notary and €9,800 lawyer's fees. The weak point is outdoor space: the terrace is only 9% of the built area, less than 96% of the developments in our comparison. The private garden does make up for it. Completion in 16 months is slightly behind the 14-month median in the town.
| Price | € 810.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 81.000 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 9.720 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 4.900 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 9.800 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 4% of new developments in Fuengirola. Largest outdoor space: 11 m².
Planned completion February 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
Torreblanca rises against the hills on the eastern edge of Fuengirola, just before the border with Benalmádena. The development sits at around 33 metres above sea level, in the lower part of the El Higuerón urbanisation, about 400 metres from the beach according to another source. The surroundings include more than 100,000 m² of green space with parks, walking trails and cycle paths. Down below you will find the Torreblanca promenade and the commuter train station, which takes you to Málaga or central Fuengirola without a car.
In practical terms: Playa de Torreblanca is a 16-minute walk or a 3-minute drive away. The Covirán supermarket is 20 minutes on foot. Fuengirola centre is a 12-minute drive, Benalmádena marina 15. The international Novaschool in Benalmádena and Vithas Xanit International hospital are each 12 minutes away. You reach Málaga airport in 25 minutes.

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. Korall Residences sits at around 33 metres above sea level.
The home in our data has sea views. Because of the tiered construction over four levels, the quality of that view depends heavily on the row your home is in; we check this on the plans for each home.
Homes and finishes
The listing emphasises sustainability. Another agent mentions climate control via aerothermal energy that you operate with an app on your phone, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Inside you get an open-plan kitchen and built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms. The energy rating is B. We request the full building specification, check exactly what the optional private pool costs and whether it fits on the 46 m² plot, and verify that the bank guarantee covers every payment up to completion.
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 Korall Residences through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Korall Residences
Strengths
- A single-family home with garden and sea views in Fuengirola, where mostly apartments are for sale.
- 2 parking spaces and a storage room with every home.
- Beach a 16-minute walk away and commuter train nearby.
- Gym and coworking space, useful if you work from Spain.
- 120 m² usable with 3 bedrooms, little lost to communal areas.
Points to consider
- An 11 m² terrace and a 46 m² plot: little outdoor space for the price.
- Completion not until 1 February 2028 and no show home.
- At €6,279 per m², 9% more expensive than the new-build median in Fuengirola.
- Tiered construction over four levels may mean stairs and changes in level within the complex.
- A private pool costs extra; ask for the price before you decide.
Who is Korall Residences right for?
Korall Residences suits families and couples who want a home in Fuengirola with their own front door, a garden and two parking spaces, ideally with sea views. Anyone working from Spain will also appreciate the coworking space. Less suitable if you expect lots of outdoor space, want to move in straight away, or have limited mobility in a complex with changes in level.
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.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.

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.
