About Luminal Homes
A new apartment in Fuengirola for under €300,000: that is the exception today, and it is exactly why Luminal Homes stands out. The development in the residential area of Los Pacos has 218 apartments with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. According to another source, they are spread over seven buildings. The cheapest home in our data is a 75 m² ground-floor apartment with 1 bedroom and a 24 m² terrace for €290,160. At the top of the list is a 117 m² ground-floor apartment with 3 bedrooms for €494,000.
The range is broad. Besides the ground-floor homes, there are apartments on the upper floors, such as a 92 m² 2-bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms for €341,250, and a spacious 136 m² 3-bedroom apartment for €450,450. On the sixth floor are penthouses: with 1 bedroom and a 32 m² terrace for €399,000, or with 2 bedrooms and a 20 m² terrace for €425,360. Every home has energy rating B, a parking space and a storage room. On some terraces you can have a private jacuzzi installed.
The complex is gated and built around shared facilities: a pool for adults and one for children, gardens with low-water planting, a gym, a sauna with wellness area, a coworking space and a communal laundry room. That makes it appealing if you want to live here part of the year or work remotely. Sea views have not been confirmed. Completion is planned for October 2028.

Luminal Homes in figures
Luminal Homes is one of the cheapest new developments per m² in Fuengirola. The median of €4,046 per m² is 30% below the median for new developments in the municipality (€5,779, 27 projects) and even 9% below resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², idealista, September 2026). So you pay less than for an older home, with a new building and a pool thrown in. For the €290,160 apartment, budget around €327,858 all in: €29,016 VAT, €3,482 stamp duty, €1,700 notary and €3,500 lawyer. The price steps are gentle: going from 1 to 2 bedrooms costs about €51,000 more, and an extra bedroom costs €80,000 on average. The downside: the terraces are on the small side, at 36 m² at most, and completion is 24 months away, against a median of 14 months in the municipality.

| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 29.016 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 3.482 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 1.700 |

Location
Los Pacos is a lively residential area in the north of Fuengirola, between the centre and Torreblanca. It is not a touristy seafront, but a neighbourhood where Spaniards and foreigners live all year round. You will find schools, sports centres, supermarkets, restaurants and public transport. The development sits at around 42 metres, so fairly flat, which makes walking and cycling easy. Via the A-7 and AP-7 you are quickly on your way to Málaga or Marbella, and the beaches of Carvajal and Los Boliches are close by.
Day-to-day life here is practical. Aldi is a 5-minute walk away. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is a 24-minute walk or 6 minutes by car. Fuengirola centre is a 9-minute drive or 46 minutes on foot. Vithas Xanit hospital is 10 minutes away, the international school St Anthony's College 14. Málaga airport is a 23-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. Luminal Homes sits at around 42 metres above sea level.
Sea views are not confirmed for any of the homes in our data. The view depends on the building and the floor; for each home we check orientation and outlook on the plans.
Homes and finishes
Hot water, heating and cooling run on aerothermal energy. The kitchens come fitted with appliances, the bathrooms with vanity unit, mirror, lighting and shower screen, and the front door is reinforced. Another source mentions double glazing, fitted wardrobes and a sliding partition that turns a corner into a home office or guest space. With completion in 2028, we always request the full specifications and the bank guarantee on every deposit. We also check the orientation of the home you choose, as it can vary a lot in a large complex.
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 Luminal Homes through Privé.

- Price per m² 9% below resale homes and 30% below other new builds in the municipality.
- Supermarket a 5-minute walk away, in a flat, lively residential area.

- Wide choice from 1 to 3 bedrooms, with small price steps.
Points to consider
- Completion not until October 2028, 24 months against a median of 14 months.

Who is Luminal Homes right for?
Luminal Homes is a logical choice if you want a first foothold on the Costa del Sol on a limited budget, for winter residents who want everything within walking distance and for investors targeting long-term rentals. Remote workers will appreciate the coworking space too. It is less suitable if you want sea views, want to move in soon or expect plenty of privacy and a large terrace.
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.

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.
