We had the alarm fitted at my parents' home because of the break-ins nearby, and they're delighted and far more relaxed.

We protect your home in Benalmádena even when you’re away
If you own a place in Benalmádena, the odds are you’re not in it all year round. Perhaps it’s a holiday flat in Arroyo de la Miel that sits quiet between visits, a villa on the hillside above Torrequebrada that you use from Easter to October, or the apartment near Puerto Marina you bought with retirement in mind while you’re still working in the UK. Whatever the arrangement, the worry is the same: what is happening at the property while you are 2,000 km away?
That is precisely the job Segurma has been doing for more than 40 years. Our own Alarm Receiving Centre is staffed around the clock, every day of the year. When a detector trips, an operator checks the images and audio from your home within seconds, phones you and, if it is a genuine intrusion, alerts the Police directly. Not a call centre reading from a script: a licensed Spanish security company (DGP authorisation no. 3082) with more than 55,000 homes and businesses already on its books and a 4.6 out of 5 rating from over 3,000 reviews.
Why Benalmádena’s British community chooses Segurma
- You see what we see. Arm and disarm from the app, get a notification on every opening and look at the live camera from your sofa in Surrey or a beach bar in Benalmádena Costa.
- Verified response, connected to the Police. Every alarm is checked by a person before anyone is dispatched, so false alarms never become a nuisance for you or your neighbours.
- We speak your language. The survey, the installation and the follow-up can all be done in English, and the paperwork is explained rather than simply handed over.
- Installation included, by our own technicians, who know the difference between a 1970s block in Arroyo and a new-build on the Torrequebrada slopes.
- Works without a landline or Wi-Fi. The panel communicates over the mobile network, so a power cut or a cancelled internet contract does not leave the flat unguarded.
Alarm systems for every kind of property in Benalmádena
From a one-bedroom apartment on the seafront to a detached villa with a pool, we size the system to the property rather than the other way round:
- Alarms for flats and apartments
- Alarms for villas and detached houses
- Alarms for holiday homes and second residences
- Anti-squatter alarms for empty properties
- Alarms for bars, shops and businesses in Benalmádena
- Security cameras with two-way audio
A free survey, in English, arranged around your visit

Security in Benalmádena
Why owners who are often away trust Segurma in Benalmádena
Benalmádena is really three places wearing one name: Benalmádena Pueblo up on the hill, Arroyo de la Miel in the middle and Benalmádena Costa along the shore, with Puerto Marina and Torrequebrada at either end. Between them they hold one of the largest British communities on the Costa del Sol, and thousands of homes that stand empty for weeks at a time. Here is how we look after them.
Pueblo, Arroyo and Costa: three very different jobs
An old whitewashed house in Benalmádena Pueblo, a flat by the railway station in Arroyo de la Miel and a seafront apartment on the Costa each need a different approach: window contacts and a camera detector in the town house, a discreet panel and door sensor in the flat, and exterior detection where a terrace opens straight onto the street. We do not sell one kit for the whole town. The technician walks the property with you and places each device where it earns its keep.
Hillside villas: stopping them at the fence, not the front door
On the slopes above Torrequebrada, Torremuelle and Carvajal, houses sit on plots with gardens, pools and views, and a great deal of quiet. An intruder will spend a while in the grounds before touching a door. Our outdoor detectors raise the alarm the moment someone climbs the wall or crosses the garden, buying the vital minutes our operators need to verify the images and call the Police. Video and audio verification mean a stray cat or a gust of wind does not get anyone out of bed.
Months in the UK, home in Benalmádena: what actually happens
Say you leave in October and come back at Easter. The shutters go down, the post piles up and everyone on the street knows the place is empty. With Segurma the flat is never truly unattended: our Alarm Receiving Centre watches it 24 hours a day, you get a notification if a door opens or the power goes off, and if there is a verified intrusion the Police are alerted from Málaga while you are still reading the alert in Manchester. You can also check the camera whenever you feel like it; no reason needed.
Holiday lets: control who comes and goes
Apartments around Puerto Marina and the beach at Benalmádena Costa change hands every few days in summer. Spare keys end up with cleaners, agencies and previous guests. With the Segurma app you assign a code to each guest or cleaner, cancel it when they leave and see every arming and disarming from your phone. Between bookings the flat is armed and monitored, so nobody ‘borrows’ it while it is supposed to be empty.
Bars, shops and offices from Puerto Marina to Arroyo
The bars and restaurants of Puerto Marina, the shops along Avenida Antonio Machado, the businesses around Casino Torrequebrada and the streets of Arroyo de la Miel all keep late hours, hold stock and handle cash. We cover shopfronts, storerooms and back doors with detectors linked to our own Alarm Receiving Centre, 365 days a year. If the alarm goes off at three in the morning, a person checks the footage, rings you and alerts the Police. You are not woken by a siren nobody acts on.
Costa del Sol coverage with a verified Police response
Segurma covers the whole of Benalmádena and the neighbouring towns of Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Mijas. Behind every installation are more than 40 years in Spanish security, authorisation no. 3082 from the Dirección General de la Policía and an in-house monitoring centre that verifies each activation before the Police are called. That is why more than 55,000 households and businesses across Spain rely on us, and why the reviews average 4.6 out of 5.

Fast, tidy installation. The technician explained everything. Now we go on holiday without worrying about the house.
One night the alarm went off in my shop. Within a minute they called me and alerted the Police. Worth every euro.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Do you install alarms in Benalmádena, and can everything be done in English?
Yes on both counts. Segurma installs and monitors alarms across Benalmádena (Pueblo, Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena Costa, Puerto Marina and the Torrequebrada estates) and throughout Málaga province. Call 911 877 095 and ask for an English-speaking adviser: the survey, the contract and the app can all be handled in English.
I’m only in Benalmádena for a fortnight. Can you install it while I’m here?
Usually, yes. Installation normally takes place within 24 to 48 hours of signing up, subject to availability in the area. Tell us your travel dates when you call and we will book the survey and the installation around them, so the system is armed and tested before you fly back.
How does it work when I’m back in the UK for months?
The alarm does not care where you are. Our own Alarm Receiving Centre monitors the property 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If a detector is triggered, an operator checks the video and audio, calls you and, if there is a genuine intrusion, alerts the Police directly from Spain. You get a push notification on the app and can look at the cameras at any time, whether you are in Leeds, Dublin or on a cruise.
How much does a Segurma alarm cost in Benalmádena?
The promotional monthly fee is €24.90 for the first 12 months on the Peace of Mind pack, with installation included. Prices are indicative and the free technical survey confirms the final figure before you commit to anything.
Does the alarm need a landline or a Wi-Fi connection?
No. The panel communicates over the mobile network with its own SIM, so it works in apartments where the internet has been cancelled for the winter and in villas on the hillside without a landline. If the power is cut, the backup battery keeps it talking to our monitoring centre and the Police response is unaffected.
What is the difference between Segurma and a self-installed alarm kit?
A DIY kit tells your phone that something moved. Segurma’s operators actually look at what is happening, decide whether it is a real intrusion and call the Police from a licensed Alarm Receiving Centre (DGP authorisation 3082). In Spain the Police act on alarms verified by an authorised company; a notification on your phone at three in the morning in another country carries no such weight, and there is little you can do about it from there.
I let my apartment near Puerto Marina to holidaymakers. Is an alarm practical?
Very. You create individual codes for guests and the cleaner, delete them when they leave and get an alert on every arming and disarming, so you know exactly who was in and when. Between bookings the flat stays armed and monitored. Guests find it reassuring, and you no longer depend on spare keys floating around Benalmádena Costa.
Can you protect the garden and pool area of my villa in Torrequebrada?
Yes. We fit perimeter and outdoor detectors so the alarm triggers when someone climbs the wall or crosses the grounds, well before they reach a door or window. Our monitoring centre verifies the activation with images and, if it is a genuine threat, alerts the Police. It is the setup we recommend for detached houses in Torrequebrada, Torremuelle, Carvajal and Benalmádena Pueblo.
Will the alarm keep going off because of my dog or cat?
It should not. We use pet-immune detectors calibrated to ignore cats and dogs while still picking up a person. During the free survey the technician positions each detector to suit the layout, and the pets, whether it is a townhouse in Arroyo de la Miel or a villa with a garden. Every alarm is also verified by an operator before anyone is called.
What about squatters in an empty flat?
This is the worry we hear most often from owners who are away for long spells. A monitored alarm makes a real difference: an intrusion is detected and verified within seconds, the Police are alerted and there is a time-stamped record of exactly when someone entered. For properties that will stand empty for many months, Segurma also offers dedicated anti-squatter systems.
Who will call me if the alarm goes off, and in what language?
An operator from our own 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre will call the contact numbers you gave us, in the order you chose. Let us know you would prefer English and we will note it on your file. You can also add a trusted keyholder in Benalmádena, such as a neighbour, a friend or your property manager, as a second contact.
Which areas of Benalmádena and the Costa del Sol do you cover?
All of Benalmádena: Pueblo, Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena Costa, Puerto Marina, Torrequebrada, Torremuelle, Carvajal, Montemar and the surrounding estates, plus Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Mijas and the rest of Málaga province. Our technicians come to you and the installation is included.
