Aura Higuerón: new build apartments for sale in Fuengirola

Fitted and equipped, so the units and the appliances are already in place when you take the keys. There is a second kitchen outside, built into the terrace wall with a worktop and a grill.

The air conditioning is centralised and ducted, which means one machine serves the whole home through vents in the ceiling rather than a separate box on the wall of each room. The bathrooms have underfloor heating. Hot water comes from an aerothermal system, which takes warmth out of the outside air and moves it into the tank instead of burning gas, and costs less to run than a boiler.

The cabling for a home automation system is run in while the building goes up, so lighting, blinds and temperature can be put on one controller or a phone later without opening the walls again. The living room blinds are motorised.

Every home has a terrace, and they are deep enough to lay out properly rather than to stand on. Some have a private pool on the terrace, built so the water runs level with the edge and appears to meet the sea behind it. Others have a jacuzzi instead. Some of the ground floor homes have a garden with a pool of their own.
