About Sunhill
Fuengirola is a favourite with international winter residents, but affordable new builds are scarce. In our comparison, Sunhill is the cheapest new development per m² in the municipality. It is a small residence of 15 homes in Los Pacos, an established residential area in the north of Fuengirola. Completion is planned for September 2027.
Our data includes two homes, both with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first-floor apartment costs €328,000 for 96 m² built and 70 m² usable, with an 11 m² terrace. The second-floor penthouse costs €363,000 and is a different story altogether: 83 m² built, a 106 m² terrace and a 96 m² solarium, 202 m² of outdoor space in total, with sea views. Both homes have their own parking space and energy rating B. The project description also mentions ground-floor homes with gardens, but these are not on our list.
For a development of this size, the communal facilities are generous. You have an outdoor pool with sun deck, a chill-out zone, landscaped communal areas, a gym, a sauna and a laundry room. The complex is gated, with CCTV and controlled access for pedestrians and vehicles. Solar panels supply power for the communal areas, which can keep community fees down.

Location
Los Pacos is a residential area on the hills on the north side of Fuengirola, at around 69 metres above sea level. It is not a touristy beach strip but a neighbourhood where Spanish and foreign residents live all year round, with parks, schools, sports facilities, shops and restaurants. According to the project description, the centre of Los Pacos is a 5-minute walk away. The area has good connections via the A-7 and AP-7, and Los Boliches station, around 2.5 km away, takes you by local train to Málaga and the airport.
In daily life this is a practical location. The Aldi is a 19-minute walk or 4-minute drive away. You can reach Torreblanca-Carvajal beach in 25 minutes on foot or 7 minutes by car. Fuengirola town centre is a 10-minute drive away, Vithas Xanit International hospital 13. You can reach Málaga Airport in 26 minutes and Málaga city centre in 29.

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. Sunhill sits at around 69 metres above sea level.
The second-floor penthouse has confirmed sea views. The first-floor apartment does not in our data; we check exactly what view you get there for each home.
Homes and finishes
The homes come with a fully fitted kitchen with built-in appliances, fully installed ducted air conditioning and hot water from an aerothermal system. The choice of low-maintenance materials is a plus if you leave the home empty for part of the year. We request the technical specification, check whether the sauna and solar panels are included in the community fee split and verify the bank guarantee on every payment.
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 Sunhill through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Sunhill
Strengths
- Cheapest new build per m² in Fuengirola, 33% below the municipal median.
- Penthouse with 202 m² of outdoor space and sea views for €363,000.
- Just 15 homes, so a quiet residence with few neighbours.
- Supermarket within walking distance and train station around 2.5 km away.
- Completion in September 2027, faster than the average development.
Points to consider
- Only two-bedroom homes on our list; families are better off looking elsewhere.
- The first-floor apartment has only an 11 m² terrace and no confirmed sea views.
- The beach is a 25-minute walk away, not just around the corner.
- Another source shows a 131 m² home for €446,000; ask for the current price list.
Who is Sunhill right for?
Sunhill suits winter residents and couples who want to live in a real residential neighbourhood, with shops within walking distance and the train nearby. The penthouse is interesting if you live outdoors a lot and want sea views without a beachfront budget. Less suitable for families who need three bedrooms or for anyone who wants to walk by the sea every day.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Sunhill
Is Fuengirola a good place to spend the winter?
Yes, Fuengirola is one of the most popular places to spend the winter, with plenty of amenities open all year round. In Los Pacos you live in a lively neighbourhood with shops, parks and the train to Málaga close by.
How many homes does Sunhill have?
Sunhill is a small-scale development of 15 homes. That means few neighbours around the pool, but also that the choice quickly becomes limited.
When will Sunhill be completed?
Planned completion is September 2027. Until then you pay in instalments, and we check that every payment is covered by a bank guarantee.
How far is Málaga Airport from Sunhill?
By our measurement, it is a 26-minute drive to Málaga Airport. You can also take the local train from Los Boliches station, around 2.5 km away.
Do I pay more if I buy Sunhill through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Sunhill, that adds up to around 13.0%.
