About this property
Overview
This five-bedroom villa in Riviera del Sol gives you 356 square metres of living space on a 601-square-metre plot, with a layout built around a large living room that opens directly onto the pool terrace. The ground floor holds most of the living areas and one or two bedrooms, while the upper floor takes the remaining bedrooms to give each one space and quiet. Four bathrooms mean the house works for a family or for guests staying at once. The double garage sits at street level, leaving the garden and pool area private at the back.
The villa sits on the sea side of the AP-7, so Playa de Calahonda is an eight-minute walk. That puts the beach within reach on foot, but you are not in the dense strip of hotels and holiday flats that line the shore further west. Carrefour is three minutes by car for weekly shopping, and Fuengirola town centre is fifteen minutes when you want more choice of restaurants or shops. Cabopino Golf is seven minutes away, and Málaga Airport forty-one, both straightforward drives on the motorway.
Riviera del Sol itself is a low-rise residential area, mostly villas and small apartment blocks, with quiet streets and little through traffic. The setting suits families who want a garden and a pool, and who are happy to drive for most errands. The plot is not large enough for much landscaping beyond lawn and patio, so if you picture extensive gardens or total seclusion, this will feel compact. What you gain is the combination of a detached house, your own pool, and the beach close enough to walk to with children.

Villa en Mijas: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Riviera del Sol?
Playa de Calahonda is 600 metres away, an eight-minute walk from the villa. That makes it possible to walk to the beach with children or carry beach kit without needing the car. The villa sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, so you cross no main roads on the way down.
Does the villa have a private pool or shared pool?
The villa can have either a private pool on your plot or access to a communal pool, depending on how the house is configured. A private pool means you control the maintenance and the garden layout, but you pay for cleaning and chemicals. A communal pool means less upkeep, but shared facilities and opening hours.
What is within walking distance in Riviera del Sol?
The beach is an eight-minute walk. Everything else needs a car: the nearest supermarket is a kilometre away, about three minutes by car, and Fuengirola town centre is fifteen minutes. Riviera del Sol is a residential area with quiet streets, not a centre with shops or cafés on the doorstep.
How far is Málaga Airport?
Málaga Airport is 27 kilometres away, about 41 minutes by car on the AP-7 motorway. The drive is straightforward, with no town traffic, so the villa works well as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home. You can land, collect a car and be at the house within an hour of touching down.
What is nearby for families with children?
St Anthony's College international school is 6.7 kilometres away, about fifteen minutes by car. The nearest hospital is Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella, eleven kilometres and thirteen minutes by car. A supermarket is three minutes away for daily shopping, and Fuengirola offers everything else a family needs.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Riviera Del Sol 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 Riviera Del Sol?
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.
