Villa The Bay 7, Reserva del Higuerón, Benalmádena

What is Villa The Bay 7?

Villa The Bay 7 stands out for the visual power of its organic forms and its spectacular sea views: a true villa of nature. Dressed in white with wooden accents that together create an evocative interplay of textures, the villa blends into the green landscape of El Higuerón.

The villa

The villa has five bedrooms and five bathrooms across 504 m² of built space. Generous covered and open terraces totalling 252 m² face south-west, so you can enjoy the sun and the sunset well into the evening. There is a private pool, a private garden on a 1,164 m² plot, a kitchen open to the living area, fitted wardrobes, a laundry room, a basement with a games room and a garage with space for several cars. From the villa you enjoy panoramic sea views.

Building a villa in El Higuerón

In an established villa area like El Higuerón, new plots are scarce. A new villa with sea views, designed by architects and built to current standards, combines the tranquillity of the hills with easy access to everything Fuengirola and Benalmádena have to offer. As the completion date is still to be confirmed, you can often still have a say in the finishes at this stage. We'll gladly guide you through checking the licences and bank guarantees.

The location: Reserva del Higuerón

Reserva del Higuerón sits in the hills between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, with sweeping views over the Bay of Fuengirola and the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most exclusive villa areas on this coast, with the Higuerón Resort, sports and wellness facilities and restaurants nearby. Carvajal beach, the railway station and international schools are just a few minutes away, and Málaga airport is about twenty minutes away.

Living in Benalmádena

Benalmádena lies between Torremolinos and Fuengirola and is made up of three parts: the white village of Benalmádena Pueblo on the hillside, Arroyo de la Miel, a lively residential hub, and Benalmádena Costa along the seafront, home to the well-known Puerto Marina. Many homes are set on the slopes and so enjoy sea views.

Málaga airport is about a quarter of an hour's drive away, and the local commuter train stops at Arroyo de la Miel and Torremuelle. You'll find beaches, the Torrequebrada golf course, the cable car up to Calamorro and all everyday amenities. Benalmádena appeals to families, second-home buyers and investors alike.

New builds in Benalmádena are often set on the slopes above the coast, in areas such as Torremuelle, Torrequebrada, La Capellanía and around Reserva del Higuerón. There you combine open sea views with peace and quiet, while the beach, the marina and the amenities of Arroyo de la Miel are just a short drive away. Thanks to the proximity of the airport and Málaga, there is year-round demand for homes, both to live in and to let.

Why Villa The Bay 7?

A villa with organic architecture, five bedrooms, a pool and sea views on a plot of more than 1,100 m²: Villa The Bay 7 is an exceptional home in one of the most sought-after areas between Benalmádena and Fuengirola.

A villa as a second home

A new villa is easier to run as a second home than you might think. Modern systems, good insulation and home automation keep maintenance light, and you can arrange garden and pool care with a regular service. That way you arrive to a well-kept villa, ready to enjoy. And if you'd like to let it while you're away, the Costa del Sol has tenants all year round. We're happy to talk you through the rules and licences.

Enjoy it all year round

The Costa del Sol has one of the mildest climates in Europe, with plenty of sunshine and gentle winters. In summer, life is lived outdoors, around the pool and on the terraces. Autumn and spring bring perfect weather for golf, walking or cycling, and even in winter you'll often have lunch in the sun. Read more in our article on Marbella's microclimate. So a home here isn't just for the holidays, it's one you can enjoy all year round.

How a viewing works

Would you like to see Villa The Bay 7? We'll plan the viewing around your trip, even at short notice. Beforehand, we'll send you the plans, the specification list and a breakdown of the purchase costs, so you arrive well prepared. On site, we'll show you not just the property but also the neighbourhood: the nearest schools and shops, the beach and the golf courses. That way, you'll get an immediate feel for everyday life here.

Would you rather meet remotely first? Then we'll set up a video call and go through the plans together. You only decide once you know everything, and we can guide you in Dutch, English, French or Spanish.

Buying off-plan: how it works

With a new build, you first sign a reservation agreement, then a purchase contract with a deposit, and you pay the balance on completion at the notary. Under Spanish law, deposits on new builds must be protected by a bank guarantee or an insurance policy. Always have this checked, along with the building licence and the timeline. We carry out these legal check together with an independent lawyer, and we guide you from the first viewing right through to the handover of the keys, in your own language.
