About this property

Overview

Arosa sits in Torrenueva, a residential stretch of Mijas Costa between Fuengirola and Marbella. The beach is a short walk, sandy and wide enough for morning runs or an afternoon with a towel. Supermarkets, cafés and beach clubs are all within a few minutes on foot. Marbella and Fuengirola are both a quick drive for wider choice, and the AP-7 is close if you need Málaga airport or the city.

The apartments range from compact two-bedroom homes at 91 square metres to three-bedroom layouts reaching 152 square metres. Each comes with a private solarium, which gives you an outdoor space with southern light and some distance from neighbours. The south orientation means the interiors get direct sun for most of the day, useful in winter but potentially warm in high summer unless you keep blinds down. Two bathrooms in each unit, regardless of bedroom count, means less morning friction if you share.

The development has an outdoor pool, an indoor pool for cooler months, a gym and landscaped communal grounds. There is also a chill-out area. These are shared amenities across the whole scheme, so how much you actually use them depends on how many other residents have the same idea at the same time. The setting is quiet and the immediate surroundings are low-rise residential, which suits buyers after a permanent home on the coast or a second property they can lock and leave. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to a wide choice of restaurants or nightlife. You will drive for that, or take a short taxi ride along the coast.

Arosa: Frequently Asked Questions

The smallest two-bedroom units measure 91 square metres built, and the largest three-bedroom layouts reach 152 square metres. Every apartment has two bathrooms, so the extra space in the three-bedroom homes goes into bedroom size and living areas rather than additional bathrooms.

Yes. The beach is a short walk from Arosa, and when you reach it the sand is wide enough for exercise or a full day out. The stretch at Torrenueva is quieter than central Fuengirola but still has seasonal chiringuitos and enough width that it does not feel crowded even in summer.

Each apartment comes with a private solarium on the roof. That gives you an outdoor area with southern exposure and some separation from neighbours, but you are responsible for furnishing and maintaining it yourself. The development also has landscaped communal grounds and a chill-out area if you prefer shared green space.

Supermarkets, cafés and beach clubs are all within a few minutes on foot. The immediate area around Arosa in Torrenueva is low-rise and residential, so for a wider choice of restaurants or any nightlife you will need to drive or take a short taxi ride towards Fuengirola or Marbella.

Yes. The indoor pool and gym mean you can use the facilities through winter, and Mijas Costa has supermarkets and services open all year. The south-facing orientation keeps the interiors warm in cooler months, which matters more for permanent residents than it does for holiday use.

Buying off-plan in Mijas means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
