About this property
Overview
Senora Gardens is a collection of 63 two-bedroom apartments in Mijas Costa, built across three blocks on the edge of a golf course. Each apartment has two bathrooms and between 97 and 110 square metres of living space. The terraces vary significantly in size, from 22 square metres on the lower floors to 141 square metres on the penthouse level. This range matters: a 22-square-metre terrace is enough for a table and chairs, while 141 square metres gives you room for outdoor dining, loungers and planting. The penthouses suit buyers who want outdoor space to be central to how they use the home.
The location puts you on the coastal side of the AP-7, midway between the motorway and the sea. Playa de Calahonda is 22 minutes by car. A Carrefour supermarket is a 22-minute walk away. Fuengirola town centre is 15 minutes by car. Málaga Airport is 36 minutes away. St Anthony's College is 20 minutes by car, which matters if you have school-age children. The setting is suburban rather than resort. You are not walking to restaurants or bars, and you will need a car for most errands. The frontline golf position means views over fairways and greens, and quiet surroundings, but it also means you are set back from the busier coastal strip.
The apartments share a large central pool, a gym and a spa area. Each block has its own underground parking. The golf course wraps around the development, so the outlook is green and open. This suits buyers who want space, greenery and a quiet base within reach of the coast, but it will not suit anyone looking for a village atmosphere or who wants to walk to shops and cafes. The setting trades immediacy for calm.

Senora Gardens: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Mijas Costa?
Playa de Calahonda is two kilometres away, about 22 minutes by car. The development sits on the inland side of the AP-7 motorway, so you are not walking to the sea. The frontline golf position gives you views and quiet, but puts you further from the coast than developments on the beach side of the road.
What does frontline golf mean in practice?
The apartments look over fairways and greens, so the outlook stays open and green. The setting is quiet, with no through traffic. The trade-off is that you are set back from the busier coastal strip, and you will need a car for restaurants, shops and the beach. It suits buyers who want calm and space over convenience.
Is anything within walking distance?
A Carrefour supermarket is a 22-minute walk away. Beyond that, you will need a car. Fuengirola is 15 minutes by car, the beach is 22 minutes, and St Anthony's College is 20 minutes. The suburban setting on the edge of a golf course means you are not walking to cafes, bars or restaurants.
What facilities do residents share?
The development has a large central pool, a gym and a spa area. Each block has underground parking. The outdoor space is communal rather than private, except for the terraces attached to each apartment. The pool and gardens are maintained as part of the community, so there is no individual upkeep beyond your own terrace.
How large are the terraces?
Terraces range from 22 square metres on lower floors to 141 square metres on the penthouses. A 22-square-metre terrace fits a table and chairs. The 141-square-metre penthouses give you room for outdoor dining, sun loungers and planting. The difference is significant, and shapes how much of your time you will spend outside.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Mijas Costa 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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Mijas Costa?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
