About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol. This second-floor residence delivers uninterrupted Mediterranean views from a 69-square-metre terrace that extends the 99-square-metre interior into open-air living space. Built in 2025, the apartment occupies a prime coastal plot where the sea sits directly in front of the building.
Inside, the open-plan layout connects the living area to the kitchen, which comes fitted with integrated appliances. All three bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The second bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and guests. Large windows across the apartment pull natural light into every room. The terrace runs the length of the main living space, providing enough room for dining furniture and sun loungers. One parking space comes with the property, and residents share access to a communal pool.
The apartment sits within Royal Palms Mijas, a recently completed development on the beachfront. La Cala de Mijas town centre lies within a ten-minute walk, where the weekly Friday market runs along Avenida de España. The beach directly below the building offers year-round access, with several chiringuitos operating along this stretch of the Costa del Sol coastline. Málaga Airport sits 35 kilometres east, reachable in under 30 minutes by the A-7 coastal motorway.

Buying this apartment 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.
