About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with golf views in Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol. This property occupies the middle floor of Sun Valley III, a gated complex within La Cala Golf Resort, where the terrace frames uninterrupted views across three championship courses and the Andalusian hills beyond. Built in 2024, the apartment spans 87 square metres with an additional 27-square-metre terrace oriented to capture southern light from morning through late afternoon.
Inside, two bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged to maximise the 87-square-metre footprint, with the principal bedroom accessing the terrace directly. The living area extends onto the covered outdoor space, creating 114 square metres of combined living and terrace area. A private parking space is included in the sale. The complex provides residents with a swimming pool, tennis courts, padel facilities, a gymnasium, and maintained gardens that border the fairways.
Sun Valley III sits within La Cala Golf Resort, which operates three 18-hole courses designed by Cabell Robinson. The resort clubhouse, with its restaurant and pro shop, stands 400 metres from the complex entrance. Mijas Costa town centre lies 8 kilometres inland, whilst the beaches at La Cala de Mijas are a 10-minute drive through the valley. The AP-7 motorway connects to Málaga Airport in 35 minutes and Marbella in 20 minutes. The complex entrance opens directly onto the resort's internal road network, with golf buggies passing between the fairways throughout the day.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Mijas Costa
Can foreigners buy property in Mijas Costa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Mijas Costa. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
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.
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.
