About Sunset Views
Fuengirola is one of the most expensive new-build markets on this stretch of coast, and affordable developments with genuine outdoor space are scarce. That makes Sunset Views in Los Pacos well worth a look. The complex comprises two buildings with a total of 74 apartments and penthouses. Our data lists six homes between €399,950 and €599,950, with 2 or 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms each.
What sets this development apart is the combination of generous terraces and practical extras. Every home comes with 2 parking spaces and a storage room, which is far from a given in Fuengirola. The most expensive penthouse has 3 bedrooms, a 109 m² terrace and a 69 m² solarium, and it is the only home on our list with confirmed sea views. The ground-floor apartments have terraces of 67 to 72 m². Large double-glazed windows let in plenty of light and open onto the terrace.
In the communal areas you will find two saltwater pools, a sauna, a gym and an outdoor calisthenics area. The complex is gated and has a lift. All homes have energy rating B. There is no show home. Keep an eye on the timeline: two homes will be completed in June 2027, the other four not until March 2029.

Sunset Views in figures
With a median of €4,204 per m², Sunset Views sits 27% below the new-build median in Fuengirola (€5,779, 27 developments) and even 6% below resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², Idealista, September 2026). That is strikingly low, but look at the gap between built and usable area: a home with 152 m² built has 79 m² usable. The cheapest home at €399,950 costs around €451,944 all in, with €39,995 VAT, €4,799 stamp duty, €2,400 notary and €4,800 lawyer's fees. A third bedroom costs an extra €80,000. Outdoor space is a median 53% of the built area, better than 81% of the developments in our comparison.

Location
Los Pacos lies in the northern part of Fuengirola, where the terrain turns hilly and slopes gently down to the coast. It is a residential neighbourhood with an international population: you hear several languages on the street, and it feels more like a place where people live than a holiday resort. The development sits at around 48 metres above sea level. The area has direct access to the A-7 and AP-7, intercity buses run here, and the commuter train to Málaga and the airport stops in Fuengirola.
Day to day, the Aldi is handy at a 9-minute walk or a 2-minute drive. Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is 7 minutes away by car or 27 minutes on foot. You reach the centre of Fuengirola in a 10-minute drive, or 49 minutes on foot. Vithas Xanit International hospital is 11 minutes away and Málaga airport 24 minutes. Golfers drive 15 minutes to Cerrado del Águila.

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. Sunset Views sits at around 48 metres above sea level.
According to our data, only the 3-bedroom penthouse has sea views. The other homes look mainly towards the mountains or the surroundings; the development's name refers to the sunset, but we check the exact line of sight for each home.
Homes and finishes
The listing mentions large double-glazed windows, energy rating B and saltwater systems for the pools. Another agent points to good insulation and a ventilation system designed for comfort in summer and winter. A detailed list of kitchen and bathroom materials is not in our sources. That is why we request the memoria de calidades, compare it with other developments in Fuengirola and check that the bank guarantee on your stage payments is properly in place, especially with completion in 2029.
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 Sunset Views through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Sunset Views
Strengths
- 27% below the new-build median per m² in Fuengirola, one of the most affordable developments in the town.
- Every home comes with 2 parking spaces and a storage room, a rarity in Fuengirola.
- Generous terraces: outdoor space averages 53% of the built area.
- Supermarket a 9-minute walk away, with motorway, bus and train close by.
- Two pools, a sauna and sports areas within a gated complex.
- Penthouse with a 109 m² terrace, 69 m² solarium and sea views for €599,950.
Points to consider
- Four of the six homes will not be completed until March 2029, so it is a long wait.
- Big gap between built and usable area; always compare on usable m².
- Sea views confirmed only for the most expensive penthouse.
- The beach is a 27-minute walk away, the town centre 49 minutes on foot.
- Large complex with 74 homes, so less peaceful than a small-scale development.
Who is Sunset Views right for?
Sunset Views suits buyers who want to live or winter in Fuengirola on a more modest budget and who value having a car: two parking spaces per home is a real asset. Families and anyone looking for a lettable apartment will also find sensible options here. Less suitable if you want to move in soon, walk to the sea every day or insist on sea views.
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.
