Mijas is one of the best destinations on the Costa del Sol for anyone looking to invest in a new-build property. Its great appeal lies in a location that combines extensive beaches, proximity to the mountains, and an old town that retains its authentic Andalusian charm. This puts it firmly on the radar of buyers from across Europe.
In this article, we examine the reasons to invest in Mijas. We cover the best areas of the municipality, the advantages of buying new-build property, and hotel recommendations for visiting the area before making a purchase decision.
Investing in Mijas: Why does this municipality attract more international investors every year?
Mijas occupies a strategic position in the centre of the Costa del Sol, between Málaga and Marbella. This central location makes it easy to reach the airport, the golf courses inland and the coastal beaches, a balance that few municipalities in the province offer with the same ease.
The municipality is divided into three main areas, and each one appeals to a different type of buyer. Mijas Pueblo retains its cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, a peaceful setting for those seeking tradition. La Cala de Mijas is home to the beach lifestyle and a very active dining scene. Las Lagunas, known as Mijas Costa, is a town that brings together the largest volume of new-build developments and much of the municipality's commercial life.
The best areas to invest in Mijas
La Cala de Mijas
This is the most sought-after area among foreign buyers looking for a second home by the sea. Its beach, wide range of restaurants, beach bars and its atmosphere make it a highly popular spot for holiday rentals, a key factor for anyone focused on the profitability of their investment. Here you'll find the fifth and final phase of Navigolf - Navigolf Suites II - with practical one- and two-bedroom homes offering sea views, facing La Noria Golf Course, in an established setting just minutes from the beach and dining options.
Mijas Costa
This area stretches between the Fuengirola river and the Autopista del Sol and is home to a large share of the municipality's new developments. Here you'll find Las Lagunas , an urban area with strong growth potential thanks to its proximity to Mijas and Fuengirola's largest shopping hub (Miramar) and its easy access to the A7 motorway.
This is where developments such as Laguna One , are located, with one-bedroom lofts designed for investors who prioritise design, or Jardines de las Lagunas II , a development of more than 300 two- and three-bedroom homes surrounding the large Las Lagunas Park.
Finally, the urban resort Lakün , with impeccable architecture and an innovative, elegant design, completes the area with 233 two- and four-bedroom homes facing the Miramar Shopping Park and boasting five-star hotel-style amenities, including two outdoor pools, a rooftop skypool, spa, gym and coworking space.
On the other side of Miramar, Elysea Suites offers 22 boutique apartments with two and three bedrooms and views of the Mediterranean, a short distance from Fuengirola and Marbella, with all their leisure and entertainment options.
Golf enthusiasts will find Mijas Costa an idyllic setting for investing in a second home and an active lifestyle. Developments such as Evergreen Homes are located near golf courses and surrounded by pine woodland. With 80 south- and southwest-facing three-bedroom townhouses offering Mediterranean sea views, this residential complex sits at the heart of El Chaparral , a location strategically placed between La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola.
Torrenueva
Torrenueva is home to the Arosa project, a development of 54 apartments known for its light-filled interiors and front-line sea views, just 500 metres from the beach and a mere 25 minutes from Marbella. This residential area is ideal for investing in Mijas, as it's one of the most highly regarded spots for its tranquillity, natural surroundings and proximity to all essential services.
Cerrado del Águila
This area offers privileged views over the Mediterranean coastline, the Sierra Nevada and, on clear days, even the African coast. 360º By Cordia , stands out here, a project with 71 units that makes the most of its elevated position.
