About Santa Amalia
A house with its own pool, right in the middle of Fuengirola and within walking distance of the beach: that is a rare find. Santa Amalia is a small-scale development of just 8 homes, 220 metres from the Mediterranean. They are not apartments but terraced and semi-detached houses, each with its own front door, a private lift serving four floors and a roof terrace with pool and summer kitchen.
Our data includes two homes, both with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The terraced house has 232 m² built, of which 182 m² usable, 84 m² of terrace and costs €1,435,000. The semi-detached house measures 233 m², with 183 m² usable, 102 m² of terrace and a 100 m² plot, for €1,689,000. The layout is flexible: they can be built with 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms.
At the bottom is a garage for two cars, with extra space you can fit out as a gym, office or guest room. Every home gets a Mediterranean garden with automatic irrigation and terraces with pergolas. The communal area is limited to landscaped greenery with a water feature, which can keep community fees low. Completion is planned for December 2028.

Santa Amalia in figures
At a median of €6,717 per m², Santa Amalia is 16% above the median for new builds in Fuengirola (€5,779, 27 developments) and 51% above resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², idealista, September 2026). So you are paying for the combination of a house, a private pool and a location 8 minutes' walk from the beach, something that barely exists in the town centre. For the €1,435,000 terraced house, budget around €1,621,720 all in: €143,500 VAT, €17,220 stamp duty, €8,600 notary and €17,400 lawyer. The semi-detached house costs €254,000 more, mainly for the larger plot and 18 m² of extra terrace. Mind the timing: a 26-month wait, against a median of 14 months in Fuengirola.
| Price | € 1.435.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 143.500 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 17.220 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 8.600 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 17.400 |
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 56% of new developments in Fuengirola. Largest outdoor space: 102 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
The development is in the centre of Fuengirola, on a residential street close to the sea and the promenade. Fuengirola is a lively seaside town with a long sandy beach, a marina and amenities that stay open all year round. It is one of the most popular places for international buyers to spend the winter, precisely because you can live there without a car. The area is almost at sea level, at 8 metres, so walking and cycling are easy. Do expect city noise, though: this is no quiet residential estate.
The distances show just how close everything is. The supermarket is a 1-minute walk, Playa del Castillo beach 8 minutes and the centre of Fuengirola 13 minutes on foot. By car you are at St Anthony's College in 10 minutes and Xanit hospital in 13 minutes. Málaga airport is 26 minutes away, Marbella 30.

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. Santa Amalia sits at around 8 metres above sea level.
Sea views are not confirmed, and at 8 metres above sea level between other buildings they are not to be expected on the lower floors. The roof terrace with pool is where you get the most light and view; for each home we check what you can really see from there.
Homes and finishes
The technical specification is extensive: aerothermal heating and cooling, underfloor heating, Airzone room-by-room control and photovoltaic panels. A home automation system controls lighting, blinds and climate, including by voice. The kitchens get porcelain worktops and Siemens appliances; the bathrooms wall-hung toilets, walk-in showers and built-in taps. Also included: fitted wardrobes, motorised blinds, video intercom and fibre optics. Both homes have energy rating B. We check that all these points are in the building specification attached to the contract and request the bank guarantee.
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 Santa Amalia through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Santa Amalia
Strengths
- Just 8 homes, each with its own front door, private lift and rooftop pool.
- Beach an 8-minute walk away and supermarket within 1 minute.
- Extensive technology: aerothermal system, underfloor heating, solar panels and home automation.
- Garage for two cars with extra space for a gym or office.
- Flexible layout with 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms.
Points to consider
- Completion not until December 2028, 12 months later than the median in Fuengirola.
- Living over four floors; without the lift that means a lot of stairs.
- Small plots: 25 m² for the terraced house, 100 m² for the semi-detached house.
- No confirmed sea views and city noise in the centre.
- Sources show different sizes and bedroom counts; ask for the plans of each home.
Who is Santa Amalia right for?
Santa Amalia is made for people who want the freedom of a house without needing a car: families who come during the holidays, or couples who spend long winters here and do everything on foot. If you often have guests, there is plenty of room here too. It is less suitable if you want to move in soon, are looking for a large garden or prefer the quiet life of a golf community to a town centre.

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.
