New-build property in Mijas

Mijas lies in the province of Malaga on the Costa del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella. The municipality covers about 148.8 km2, with 12 km of coastline, in three parts: Mijas Pueblo, a white village in the hills at 428 m; La Cala de Mijas on the coast; and Las Lagunas, a suburban and commercial area next to Fuengirola. The coast (Calahonda, Riviera del Sol, La Cala) is known as Mijas Costa and has its own page in our catalogue. New-build property in Mijas is sold off plan and ready to move in. We did not find one official register of developments, and portals count differently: in November 2026 the agency Alistora lists 28 projects, Costa Select lists 100 developments with 1,074 homes, and viviendasnuevas.com shows 109 offers (undated).

INE puts the population at 95,104 on 1 January 2025, the third largest in the province after Malaga and Marbella. The Andalusian statistics institute (SIMA) gives 94,320 for 2025, of whom 30,618 are foreign residents, about 32%. SIMA also records 337 sales of new homes and 2,853 sales of second-hand homes in 2025.

How far is it? The Malaga airport is about 22 km from Mijas Pueblo, roughly 20 minutes by car, and 32-33 km from La Cala de Mijas, about 25 minutes. Malaga city is about 34 km away. Fuengirola is about 8 km from Mijas Pueblo and about 9 km from La Cala, and Marbella is about 21 km from La Cala. The A-7 and AP-7 cross the municipality; the C1 train runs from the airport to Fuengirola (about 34 minutes), with buses on to Mijas Pueblo and La Cala.

Buying a new build in Mijas: what the municipality is like

The climate is Mediterranean. According to Wikipedia, Mijas gets about 2,920 hours of sun a year, the annual mean temperature is 18 °C and rainfall is under 600 mm a year, mostly from October to April; in late July and early August it is around 30 °C. We do not give a sea temperature: the sources differ widely.

Mijas Pueblo is a white village at 428 m. Donkey taxis work here (61 animals according to Wikipedia), the chapel of the Virgen de la Peña, patron saint of Mijas, is a hermitage carved into the rock, and the oval bullring is described as one of the few of its kind in Spain. La Cala de Mijas has four coastal watchtowers dating from the 16th to the 19th century. We did not find a port in La Cala.

Beaches. According to El Español (May 2026), Mijas has five Blue Flag beaches: Calahonda I, Calahonda (Riviera), El Bombo, El Chaparral and La Cala. One tourist guide counts three (Calahonda I, El Bombo and La Cala), so check the current list before you buy.

Golf. Sources count 11 to 12 courses in Mijas. They include Mijas Golf (Los Lagos and Los Olivos), La Cala Resort, Calanova and Santana.

New-build prices in Mijas

We found no official price statistics for new builds in Mijas, so we give portal and agency data with dates and do not average them. The sources count differently: asking prices, valuation models or closed sales.

• All housing together, price per sq m: Engel & Völkers (update of 12 October 2026) - €3,498 for houses (+6.65% over a year) and €4,053 for apartments (+6.83%); Idealista as quoted by The Olive Press (March 2026) - €3,637 (+13.7% over a year, asking prices). The RealAdvisor valuation model gives contradictory figures in different views, so we do not quote it.

In absolute terms, Alistora shows new builds from €231,000 to €3,990,000 and Costa Select from €213,000 to €5,450,000 (November 2026).

On viviendasnuevas.com (undated) lower prices appear too: for example, Residencial Coto Homes from €260,000. These are asking prices, not sale prices. The rise over a year is a past change, not a forecast.

Investing in new builds in Mijas: taxes and costs

When you buy a new build from a developer in Andalusia you pay IVA (VAT) of 10% on the price plus AJD stamp duty. Transfer tax (ITP) does not apply to new builds. The general AJD rate in Andalusia is 1.2% (tax guide guiafiscal.es, October 2026). Reduced rates exist: 0.3% for buyers under 35 (home up to €150,000) and 0.1% for large families and people with disabilities (up to €250,000). Sources differ on the conditions, and a reduced rate must be claimed. For scale: on a price of €400,000, IVA is €40,000 and AJD is €4,800.

The notary and the property registry are paid separately. Guides quote roughly €300-1,000 for the notary, €200-700 for the registry and €300-600 for a gestor; one analysis puts all costs, taxes included, at about 13% of the price. These are guide figures, not official tariffs. You need an NIE number. Buying property does not by itself give the right to live or work in Spain.

What about renting out? Tourist rental in Andalusia is regulated by Decree 31/2024, in force since February 2024: the home must be declared as a vivienda de uso turístico, and it cannot be one if the building's statutes expressly forbid tourist use. Legal blogs report that since 3 April 2025 a new tourist flat needs the approval of the community of owners. We found no limit on tourist licences in Mijas itself, but check the town's current rules before you buy. Neither income nor price growth can be guaranteed.
