About this property
Overview
A two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. The terrace stretches across 145 square metres, wrapping around the property to create three distinct outdoor zones: one for the private plunge pool, another for dining under a pergola, and a third fitted as a sun deck with space for loungers and morning coffee.
Inside, the 59-square-metre layout separates the two bedrooms across opposite ends of the apartment, each with its own bathroom and direct terrace access. The kitchen opens onto the living area through a breakfast bar, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect the main room to the terrace without interruption. A storage room and one allocated parking space in the underground garage are included. The penthouse occupies the top floor of a low-rise block built in 2006, and furniture can be negotiated separately if required.
Calazul sits 500 metres back from La Cala beach, where a promenade lined with seafood restaurants runs for two kilometres towards the old watchtower at the eastern end. The complex maintains two communal pools and landscaped gardens shared among residents. La Cala de Mijas village centre is a four-minute drive inland, and the coastal road connects to Fuengirola in 12 minutes heading west. The development backs onto a hillside planted with low Mediterranean scrub, and the top-floor position means no neighbouring terraces overlook the pool area.

Buying this penthouse in La Cala de Mijas
Can foreigners buy property in La Cala De Mijas?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in La Cala De Mijas. 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 La Cala De 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.
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.
