About this property

Overview

Cala Serena Sun is a gated scheme of 68 three and four-bedroom townhouses on the sea side of the AP-7 in La Cala de Mijas. The beach is steps away, making this a genuine beach-access development rather than one that markets proximity in kilometres. All homes face south. Most have sea views. Built sizes run from 137 to 201 square metres, with terraces from 16 to 123 square metres. Some homes have a private plunge pool in the terrace or garden. All have underground parking and storage.

The layouts are open plan. Kitchens and bathrooms are finished to a good standard. The scheme is built as eight rows, so you share walls with neighbours on either side, and the terrace or garden looks onto the terrace or garden of the row in front. The communal areas include a pool, gym, sauna, spa and landscaped gardens. This is a large scheme, so you will have company at the pool in summer, which suits some buyers and puts off others who want quieter surroundings.

La Cala de Mijas is a small resort town with a low-rise centre, a working fishing harbour and a string of beaches. It sits between Marbella and Fuengirola, quieter than either but close enough to reach both for restaurants, shopping or the larger hospitals. The A-7 coast road runs just inland of the town. Málaga Airport is a 42 minute drive. ALDI is a ten minute walk or three minutes by car. Golf courses are within walking distance. The town has schools, a health centre and a supermarket selection that covers weekly needs without driving to Fuengirola.

This suits buyers who want a permanent residence with direct beach access and a manageable scheme size, or a holiday home in a town that stays open outside the summer months. The motorway noise is worth checking on a site visit. The terrace sizes vary sharply, so pay attention to which row and which end of the row you are looking at.

Cala Serena Sun: Frequently Asked Questions

Built sizes range from 137 to 201 square metres across three and four-bedroom layouts. Terraces vary from 16 to 123 square metres, so check the specific plot because that difference changes how you use the outdoor space. The layouts are open plan with finished kitchens and bathrooms.

Yes. Playa de La Cala is steps away, which makes this a genuine walk-to-beach development. The scheme sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in La Cala de Mijas, so you cross no main road to reach the sand.

Some homes have a private plunge pool in the terrace or garden. All residents can use the communal pool, gym, sauna, spa and landscaped gardens. The scheme holds 68 homes, so the communal areas are shared with a fair number of neighbours in summer.

Most homes have sea views. All face south. The scheme is built as eight rows of townhouses, so your terrace or garden looks onto the terrace or garden of the row in front, which affects how open the outlook feels.

Málaga Airport is 24 kilometres away, about 42 minutes by car. That makes this workable for lock-up-and-leave use if you visit several times a year, and straightforward for year-round living if you travel regularly for work or to see family.

Buying off-plan in La Cala De 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.
