About this property
Overview
Suite Mijas III is a large apartment development set inland from the Costa del Sol motorway, giving quick access to the coast and Málaga airport while sitting away from the beachfront price premium. The 312 homes are arranged across multiple blocks within a gated community that dedicates substantial ground to shared facilities: separate adult and children's pools, a multi-sports court, outdoor fitness circuit, climbing wall for children, and an urban garden for residents who want to grow vegetables. Tropical planting softens the perimeter and walkways.
The apartments themselves run from compact two-bedroom layouts at 71 square metres to three-bedroom homes approaching 90 square metres. Every home has a private terrace, most include a storage unit, and all come with a parking space. Kitchens arrive furnished and fitted, air conditioning is installed in each room, and floating wood floors are standard throughout. The smaller two-bedroom units suit a couple or single buyer prioritising location and facilities over floor area. The three-bedroom apartments, by contrast, offer enough separation for a family or for dedicating one bedroom to an office or guests.
Mijas itself spreads across a wide municipality. This development sits in the lower, flatter part closer to Fuengirola than to the whitewashed hill village that shares the name. Supermarkets, health centres and schools are a short drive, but the immediate surroundings are residential and you will need a car for daily errands. The motorway entrance is close, which cuts journey times to Marbella or Málaga but also means road noise carries to parts of the site. The scale of the community means you live among many neighbours, and the shared amenities will see heavy use in summer. If you want seclusion or a village within walking distance, this is not the setting. If you want a well-specified home with extensive facilities and motorway convenience, the layout delivers that.

Suite Mijas III: Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the apartments?
The two-bedroom apartments measure 71 square metres, and the three-bedroom homes go up to 89 square metres. Every apartment includes a private terrace, and most come with a storage unit as well as a parking space. The smaller layouts work for couples or single buyers, while the three-bedroom floor plans give families enough room to separate sleeping areas from a home office or guest bedroom.
Is there outdoor space with each apartment?
Every apartment has a private terrace. The development also provides extensive communal grounds with separate adult and children's pools, a multi-sports court, an outdoor fitness circuit, a children's climbing wall, and an urban garden where residents can grow vegetables. Tropical planting runs along the perimeter and walkways throughout the gated community.
What is within walking distance in Mijas?
The immediate surroundings are residential, and you will need a car for daily errands. Supermarkets, health centres and schools are a short drive rather than a walk. This development sits in the lower, flatter part of the Mijas municipality, closer to Fuengirola than to the hilltop village, and the motorway entrance nearby makes driving to the coast or Málaga straightforward.
Does this suit year-round living or just holidays?
The apartments work for either, depending on what you need from the location. Year-round living means relying on a car for shops and services, because the development sits inland in a residential area. As a holiday home, the motorway access gets you to the beach or airport quickly, and the extensive shared facilities give you plenty to do on site without leaving the gates.
Why is Suite Mijas III gated?
The development is gated to control access across a large site that holds 312 apartments and substantial shared amenities. That scale means you live among many neighbours, and the pools, sports court and gardens will see heavy use in summer. The gates also reduce through traffic, though the proximity to the motorway means road noise still carries to parts of the community.
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.
