About this property
Overview
These penthouses sit in a gated community in the El Lagarejo neighbourhood of Mijas, up towards the hills but with Playa de los Boliches still within a 25-minute walk. The AP-7 runs below the development, giving quick access along the coast and to Málaga Airport in 33 minutes. Fuengirola centre is seven minutes by car, with shops, restaurants and the marina all within easy reach. The location suits anyone who wants a base near the beach without being hemmed in by tourist foot traffic, and the drive down to Campo Los Lagos golf course takes ten minutes.
Each penthouse has two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a built area between 96 and 102 square metres. The terraces vary widely, from 57 to 106 square metres, so what you gain in outdoor space depends on which unit you choose. The larger terraces include a solarium on the upper level, which means uninterrupted sky but also full sun exposure in summer and nowhere to escape midday heat. Orientations include east, south and west, so morning light, afternoon warmth and views over the communal pool and gardens are all available depending on the home.
The community has a swimming pool and landscaped gardens, with 20 homes in total, so the setting stays quiet. Each penthouse comes with a garage space and a storage room. Kitchens are fitted, and air conditioning is installed for heating and cooling. The development faces Loma del Real Park, which gives an open outlook rather than walls or roads.
Being above the AP-7 means road noise carries, particularly if your terrace faces south or west. The walk to the beach is manageable, but anything beyond that demands a car. For families using Colegio San Francisco de Asis, the school is a five-minute drive. This works well for buyers who want space, greenery and coastal access without the density of a beachfront block.

OCEANIC GARDEN: Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the terraces?
Terraces range from 57 to 106 square metres. The larger ones include a solarium on the upper level, which gives you open sky but means full sun exposure in summer with no shade. The smallest terraces are still generous by penthouse standards but lack that second tier.
Is the beach within walking distance?
Playa de los Boliches is two kilometres away and takes about 25 minutes on foot. The walk is manageable for a morning swim or an evening stroll, but anything beyond the beach itself requires a car. A supermarket sits half a kilometre from the development.
What does the location above the AP-7 mean?
The development sits inland of the motorway, which keeps Fuengirola and Málaga Airport within easy reach but brings road noise. Terraces facing south or west catch more of it. The upside is quick access along the coast and less tourist density than the beachfront blocks.
Which way do the homes face?
Orientations include east, south and west. East-facing homes get morning light, south-facing ones hold warmth through the afternoon, and west-facing terraces catch the last sun. Views look over the communal pool, the gardens and Loma del Real Park opposite.
What is nearby for families with children?
Colegio San Francisco de Asis is five minutes by car, and St Anthony's College in Mijas is 13 minutes. Hospital Vithas Xanit International sits 13 minutes away in Benalmádena. Fuengirola, seven minutes down the hill, has shops, restaurants and the marina.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
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?
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.
