Project analysis
CARAT FASE IV combines new-build apartments in Fuengirola with sea views and wellness facilities including a gym and sauna. Available homes occupy intermediate and top floors. This distinction matters to the layout, but without an individual plan it does not establish the outlook from every room or which part of a terrace is sheltered.
The price list separates built area, usable area and terrace. A larger built figure therefore does not mean that the entire difference is additional indoor living space. Compare like measurement bases first, then consider the shape and access to the outdoor area. Facilities are listed at project level; establish the rights and costs attached to the selected home.
Phase IV's timetable must be considered separately from other phases within the development. Its current note describes the permit as not yet obtained and gives an estimated construction period. Project images illustrate architecture and facilities; they do not confirm completion of this phase.
Separate columns record 85.30–154.38 m² built, 72.51–131.22 m² usable and 30.86–190.42 m² terrace. These measurements have different meanings.
If you also view the apartment as an investment, budget separately for the period before completion. Payments may fall due while the home is not yet usable. Unspecified community charges and unconfirmed payment milestones prevent a complete calculation of net returns.
The rhythm of life at CARAT FASE IV
Your routine here depends on both your own apartment and the facilities you actually use. If you train regularly, the gym may matter; for the sauna, access conditions and opening hours are equally relevant. Ask whether those arrangements are already settled for this phase. Beyond the development, checked routes provide a more concrete picture of shopping, stopping for coffee or visiting the beach. Try the routes that suit your routine during a viewing. Calculated journey times begin at the project point and do not include getting from your apartment to the entrance or waiting for a lift.
Space inside, room outside
Start with the rooms you use every day, then consider the overall floor area. An additional bathroom may matter for guests, while another buyer prioritises the living room. Available homes have different layouts and terrace areas, so a floor number alone is not a complete guide. Check where doors open outside and how much of the terrace connects with the living space. The price list distinguishes built area, usable area and terrace. Request the measurement definitions and the plan for your preferred home, so that you do not compare indoor space with a figure that includes other building elements.

Prices and purchase context
Do not reserve solely on the starting price. In this phase the reservation deposit depends on the price of your apartment, and the note does not name the milestone for every payment. Request a complete schedule for the selected home, including deposit crediting and VAT treatment. The permit position and proposed construction period belong in the same conversation. Recurring community charges are not filled in on the checked presentation. Alongside the purchase price, ask for acquisition costs and running costs to be itemised, so that your budget covers both the home and the facilities you intend to use.
Living in Higuerón, Fuengirola
The checked project location places CARAT FASE IV in Higuerón, within the municipality of Fuengirola. For daily use, the actual entrance to the complex matters more than the area name alone. Look at where you would shop, which medical facility is practical and whether you would really use the station. The surrounding-area information helps you visit those destinations with a purpose. Opening hours and access can change and merit their own check. For longer stays, try an ordinary day during your visit: leave from the project, collect groceries and experience the return journey, rather than viewing only the apartment.

Who could CARAT FASE IV suit?
This offering may suit buyers who value sea views and wellness and have room in their plans for a new-build purchase. If you need to move on a fixed date, compare the provisional timetable with your own commitments first. For regular stays, the gym and sauna may be relevant, but using them depends on the arrangements for your home. Consider whether extra bedrooms, more bathrooms or a different balance of indoor and outdoor space matters most. Buying with rental in mind requires separate checks on applicable rules, community conditions and costs; the project presentation does not substantiate a guaranteed return.

Payment and completion
The reservation deposit depends on the unit price: €25,000 below €1 million and €50,000 above €1 million. The note does not specify a deposit for a home priced at exactly €1 million. The stated payment schedule is 20%, 15%, 15% and 50%; the intermediate payment milestones are not specified. Before reserving, obtain confirmation of how the deposit is credited, when each instalment falls due and how VAT is treated. The zero shown in the separate reservation field does not mean that reservation is free.
Planned completion period: December 2028–June 2029.
The note mentions approximately 26–32 months of construction without specifying when that period starts. December 2028–June 2029 is a planning window, not a guaranteed handover date. Confirm the current permit position and the contractual starting point of the period.

Project details
Location and everyday routes
The project location connects living in Higuerón with destinations in Fuengirola and along the coast. Beaches, places to eat and everyday services each have their own route from the project entrance. For journeys farther afield, regional connections show driving distances and times to fixed destinations. This lets you assess your own use: a trip to the town centre is different from an airport journey. Measurements start at the recorded project point. Allow separately for leaving your apartment, parking and any waiting time when planning appointments or a day out; those steps are not part of the displayed route.

How far is the beach shown here?
The project location connects living in Higuerón with destinations in Fuengirola and along the coast. Beaches, places to eat and everyday services each have their own route from the project entrance. For journeys farther afield, regional connections show driving distances and times to fixed destinations. This lets you assess your own use: a trip to the town centre is different from an airport journey. Measurements start at the recorded project point. Allow separately for leaving your apartment, parking and any waiting time when planning appointments or a day out; those steps are not part of the displayed route.
How should I read the area figures?
Separate columns record 85.30–154.38 m² built, 72.51–131.22 m² usable and 30.86–190.42 m² terrace. These measurements have different meanings. Start with the rooms you use every day, then consider the overall floor area. An additional bathroom may matter for guests, while another buyer prioritises the living room. Available homes have different layouts and terrace areas, so a floor number alone is not a complete guide. Check where doors open outside and how much of the terrace connects with the living space. The price list distinguishes built area, usable area and terrace. Request the measurement definitions and the plan for your preferred home, so that you do not compare indoor space with a figure that includes other building elements.
What should I check for each home?
The price list separates built area, usable area and terrace. A larger built figure therefore does not mean that the entire difference is additional indoor living space. Compare like measurement bases first, then consider the shape and access to the outdoor area. Facilities are listed at project level; establish the rights and costs attached to the selected home.
What are the payment and completion plans?
The reservation deposit depends on the unit price: €25,000 below €1 million and €50,000 above €1 million. The note does not specify a deposit for a home priced at exactly €1 million. The stated payment schedule is 20%, 15%, 15% and 50%; the intermediate payment milestones are not specified. Before reserving, obtain confirmation of how the deposit is credited, when each instalment falls due and how VAT is treated. The zero shown in the separate reservation field does not mean that reservation is free. Planned completion period: December 2028–June 2029. The note mentions approximately 26–32 months of construction without specifying when that period starts. December 2028–June 2029 is a planning window, not a guaranteed handover date. Confirm the current permit position and the contractual starting point of the period.
What comes on top of the purchase price?
For an illustrative budget for a first delivery of a new home in Andalusia, allow 10% VAT (IVA), 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), approximately 1% for notary and registration costs and approximately 1% for legal assistance: 13.2% of the purchase price in this example. The two 1% allowances are estimates, not statutory fees. The applicable taxes, taxable bases, reliefs and actual fees depend on the transaction; obtain individual advice and quotations.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes. Spanish banks do grant mortgages to non-residents, usually at a lower percentage of the purchase price than for residents and with conditions that vary by bank. The result depends on your income, tax residence and the bank's assessment. We can connect you with mortgage advisers who work with non-resident buyers.
What will the community fees cost?
Before reserving, ask about the community fees for the specific property: do they apply, what is the amount per month or per year, and which services are included? Also have it confirmed whether any additional contributions are planned. Request a current written statement or, if the amount is not yet final, a substantiated estimate. Do not rely solely on the project presentation.
Why buy through an agent with an API licence?
Del Sol Prime Homes works under an API licence (Agente de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria). Our project data comes directly from Resales Online, the shared database used by Costa del Sol real-estate agents. You pay the same price with us as directly with the developer. Our fee is paid by the selling side.
How should you read the price per m² at CARAT FASE IV?
The median asking price per built m² is €12,277, calculated across 38 available apartments. For the weighted price, we divide the asking price by built area plus 50% of the separately stated terrace. The median is €9,830 per weighted m² across 38 homes. Garden and plot are excluded. This is an illustrative comparison method, not an official area measure or a valuation.
