Buying property in Torreblanca.
The hillside at the eastern end of Fuengirola, with its own railway station and the beach at the foot of it. It asks about a fifth less per square metre than the town as a whole, and six new developments are on file from €365,000.
A residential hillside at the eastern end of Fuengirola, with its own station.
Torreblanca is the residential hillside at the eastern end of Fuengirola. It climbs from the beach, the promenade and its own railway station to the top of the hill, where it meets El Higuerón. Los Pacos is next door to the west, and Carvajal runs along the shore to the east, the last stretch of the town before Benalmádena. Idealista calls the district Torreblanca del Sol, the name of the residential estate on the hill.
Six of the developments on this site are here. Four are on the hillside: two apartment developments, one of them a housing cooperative, and two small groups of villas. The other two are on Avenida de Carvajal, on the slope above the sea where Torreblanca runs into Carvajal, about twelve minutes on foot from two stations, with the promenade a few streets below. What the hill gives you is the view over the bay from the higher streets. What it asks of you is a car for most errands. If you are weighing this end of town against the next one along, Fuengirola and Benalmádena are compared side by side.

What I actually know about Torreblanca
- Torreblanca del Sol asks €3,580/m² (idealista, September 2026), the third-cheapest of Fuengirola’s nine districts and about a fifth under the town average of €4,452/m².
- Six new developments are on file here, with starting prices from €365,000 to €895,000 on the developers’ lists in October 2026. Four are on the hillside and two on Avenida de Carvajal. Two are under construction and four are selling before building starts.
- Torreblanca station, on the C-1 line, is at the foot of the hill. On Renfe’s weekday timetable for October 2026, trains take 29 minutes to the airport, 38 to Málaga María Zambrano and 7 to Fuengirola, with 52 a day in each direction.
- The hillside developments are three to seven minutes by car from the station and six to eight from the beach. Torre Biznaga, on Avenida de Carvajal, is six minutes on foot from the beach and the promenade and eleven from the station.
- Fuengirola has seven kilometres of coast in four main beaches, and the town’s tourist office says all four have held the Blue Flag since 2020. The promenade, the Paseo Marítimo Rey de España, runs along the shore from Carvajal to the town centre.
- The Roman baths of Torreblanca del Sol, built in the second century AD and later used as a fish-salting works and then as a burial ground, were declared a protected archaeological site by the Junta de Andalucía in 2005.

Worth knowing about Torreblanca.
It is a hill, and the station is at the bottom.
The station, the beach and the promenade are at the foot of Torreblanca, and the homes climb above them. The walk down to the train is easy. The walk back up in August with the shopping is a different matter, and from the higher streets you will drive. Count on a car for the shops and on the train for the airport and Málaga.
Two of the six are really Carvajal.
Torre Biznaga and Óleo are on Avenida de Carvajal, on the slope above the sea at the eastern edge of the district, a short walk from two stations. They cost more for it: €5,222 and €4,962 per square metre on their cheapest apartments, against €3,873 for the cheapest at Torreblanca Heights up the hill. Neither is on the front line, which on this coast is a market of its own. Know whether a home is on the hill or at Carvajal before you compare two prices.
A cooperative is a different way to buy.
Urban City Horizon, the lowest starting price on file here, is being built by a housing cooperative. You join the cooperative and pay towards the building of the homes, rather than buying from a developer. The payments go into special accounts and, once the building licence is granted, are covered by a bank or insurance guarantee. The structure is different, so I go through the cooperative’s rules, its budget and the guarantee with you, line by line, before you reserve.
Most of the new homes do not exist yet.
Four of the six developments are selling before building starts, with handovers estimated for 2028 where a date is given. Torreblanca Heights, under construction, has the nearest date, the fourth quarter of 2027. Buying off plan means paying in stages, and how the bank guarantee protects those payments is worth reading first. It also means building work on the hill for a few years yet.
This is where Fuengirola keeps its villas.
Fuengirola is almost all apartments, and Torreblanca is one of the few parts of it with detached houses. Two of the developments here are villas: twelve at Almara Villas, from €850,000, where work on the first five began in September 2026, and three semi-detached at Bougainvillea Rosa, from €895,000, each with its own pool and a roof terrace facing the sea. Ask for the plot size, not only the built area, and check what can be built below a sea view before you pay for it.
Asking is not achieved.
The €/m² figure is what sellers of resale homes are asking on idealista. The new-build figures on this page are the developers’ own starting prices, which rarely move, though the extras, the parking and the payment stages often do. On an older home on the hill, the last sold prices in the same street are the number to hold a seller to, and that is the number I go and find.
What it costs, and what it costs to hold
Torreblanca del Sol asks €3,580/m² as of September 2026, about a fifth under the Fuengirola average of €4,452/m² and a shade above Los Pacos next door at €3,524/m². The six new developments on file start at €365,000 at the cooperative and €395,000 for a two bedroom apartment with a sea view at Torreblanca Heights, and run to €850,000 and €895,000 for the two groups of villas. On the cheapest home in each development that publishes its sizes, the new building works out between €3,873 and €5,967 per square metre.
A new build pays 10% VAT and 1.2% stamp duty on top of the price, plus notary, registry and your lawyer, so plan for 12 to 14% in all. A resale pays 7% transfer tax instead, about 10 to 11% in all. Parking is in the price at both apartment developments on the hill, two spaces and a storeroom with every home. Then the annual side: IBI to Fuengirola town hall, rubbish collection and the community fee, which in a development with an indoor pool, a spa or a gym is the figure to ask for in writing.
€/m² figures are idealista asking prices for September 2026, the same source as the town table used across the rest of this site. New-build starting prices and €/m² are from the developers’ lists on file in October 2026, cheapest home in each development.
Where it sits inside Fuengirola.
Fuengirola is one small town, but idealista splits it into nine districts, and the dearest asks nearly 70% more than the cheapest. Torreblanca del Sol is in the lower third. This is the whole table for September 2026, with the two neighbouring municipalities underneath.
The Los Boliches line is the one to hold this page against. It asks €3,947/m², about 10% more than Torreblanca del Sol, for flat streets, its own station and the beach at the end of the road. Torreblanca has a station too, and the view, and asks less because of the climb. If you are happy to drive down for the shopping, the hill is the better value. If you want to walk everywhere, it is not.
What each rung of the ladder looks like.
These are the starting prices of the six new developments on file for Torreblanca, from the developers’ own price lists, cheapest first. Torre Biznaga and Óleo are at Carvajal, on the eastern edge of the district.

Can you get a garden with a new build in Torreblanca?
One of the 6 developments here has homes with a garden of their own. The cheapest on the developers’ lists is a two-bedroom villa with 132 m² of garden at Almara Villas, €850,000.
Nearby, and worth a look.
Fuengirola · Sep 2026 €/m²
A proper town on the sea that stays open all year, with the best train on the coast. Priced above Mijas next door, and the beachfront costs about a third more than the streets behind it.
Mijas · Sep 2026 €/m²
Three places under one name: the white village on the hill, the town that runs into Fuengirola, and twelve kilometres of coast. The same sea as Fuengirola for about a sixth less per square metre, and more new building than almost anywhere else on the Costa del Sol.
El Higuerón · Sep 2026 €/m²
The hill at the eastern end of Fuengirola, where most of the town’s new building is, with the view over the bay and a train station at the bottom. Priced a quarter above the town it belongs to.
Los Pacos · Sep 2026 €/m²
The ordinary residential quarter on the north side of Fuengirola, with the cheapest new-build starting prices in the town and the fastest-rising price line. Not on the beach, and priced accordingly.
Looking for a buyer’s agent in Torreblanca?
That is what I do. I’m Michael from Lunessa Homes — a British buyer’s agent living in Málaga, fluent in Spanish, working on the buyer’s side of the search. One client at a time, and Torreblanca sits inside the stretch of coast I cover, Estepona to Nerja.
- Viewings you don’t have to fly for. I walk Torreblanca myself and report back straight — including the places that aren’t worth your trip.
- A price sense you can hold me to. Torreblanca del Sol · Sep 2026 €/m² is €3,580. When an asking price ignores that, I’ll tell you.
- Local, not general. 19–27 min to Málaga airport by car — the kind of detail that decides a street, and only shows up on the ground.
- The parts that trip people up. The NIE, the lawyer, the bank, the paperwork in Spanish — handled alongside the search, not left to you afterwards.
