About Ocean Garden
A word of caution first: despite the name, none of the Ocean Garden homes in our data has sea views. What you do get is one of the most keenly priced new developments in Fuengirola, in Los Pacos, a residential area where people live all year round. According to the description the development has 42 apartments with 2 or 3 bedrooms, split between ground-floor homes, upper floors and penthouses with a private roof terrace.
Our data covers seven homes, all with 2 bathrooms. The cheapest is a 2-bedroom apartment of 95 m² with a 26 m² terrace on the first floor, for €370,000. On the ground floor a 2-bedroom apartment of 96 m² with a 52 m² terrace costs €385,000, and a 3-bedroom version of 127 m² with an 87 m² terrace €496,000. The penthouses range from €432,000 for 2 bedrooms and 123 m² to €580,000 for 3 bedrooms with a 167 m² terrace. Note that the 95 m² penthouse costs €452,000, more than the larger penthouse at €432,000.
The communal areas are extensive for this price level. There is a pool with a gentle beach-style entry and saltwater treatment, landscaped gardens, a gym, a spa with sauna and a coworking space. The development is gated and every floor is accessible by lift. According to the description the homes face south-east and south-west.

Ocean Garden in figures
This is its strongest card. With a median of €3,906 per m², Ocean Garden is 32% below the median for new builds in Fuengirola (€5,779, 27 projects). Only 3 projects in the municipality are cheaper per m². You are even 12% below the price of resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², idealista, September 2026), which is rare for a new build. The cheapest apartment at €370,000 costs around €418,140 all in: €37,000 VAT, €4,440 stamp duty, €2,200 notary and €4,500 lawyer. A third bedroom costs on average €101,000 extra. Outdoor space scores well too: the median is 60% of the living area, better than 85% of the projects in our comparison. The price of that discount is time: a 26-month wait against a median of 14 months.
| Price | € 370.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 37.000 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 4.440 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 2.200 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 4.500 |
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 85% of new developments in Fuengirola. Largest outdoor space: 167 m².

Location
Los Pacos lies in the western part of Fuengirola, inland from Los Boliches, at around 43 metres above sea level. It is an established, international neighbourhood with many permanent residents, small shops and schools, and no typical tourist backdrop. That makes it practical to live in: you do your shopping on foot without the bustle of the seafront on your doorstep. You can't see the sea, but it is within walking distance. Fuengirola itself has long sandy beaches, a marina and a lively centre that stays open in winter too.
Day to day, it is the convenience you notice most. Aldi is 446 metres away, a 6-minute walk. Torreblanca-Carvajal beach is a 25-minute walk or a 6-minute drive. Fuengirola centre is a 9-minute drive, Hospital Xanit 10. Málaga airport is a 23-minute drive, Málaga city centre 26 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. Ocean Garden sits at around 43 metres above sea level.
None of the homes in our data has sea views. According to the description the homes face south-east and south-west, so you do get sun. The views are widest from the penthouse roof terraces; we check this for each home.
Homes and finishes
The description mentions designer kitchens with built-in appliances, modern bathrooms, quality exterior joinery, good thermal and acoustic insulation and an efficient climate system. No brands or technologies are named. All homes in our data have energy rating B. Because the description stays vague, we request the building specification before you reserve, especially the type of air conditioning and heating. The description also mentions private gardens on the ground floor, while our listings only show terraces; we will get that confirmed.
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 Ocean Garden through Privé.

- No sea views in our data, despite the project's name.

Who is Ocean Garden right for?
Ocean Garden suits anyone who wants a new-build apartment in a real residential area, with shops within walking distance and a sharp price. It works well for winter residents, for people who partly work from here and for a first purchase on the Costa del Sol. It is less suited to anyone expecting sea views or wanting to move in straight away.
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.
