Regional Comparison

Compared to project Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000), this villa offers significantly more living space and plot size, justifying the higher price. Where Arosa targets a broader market segment, this object positions itself in the luxury segment due to the direct coastal location and the presence of an elevator and basement. In contrast to Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), the difference lies mainly in the property type: here it is a detached villa with a private pool, versus apartments or penthouses in a residential complex. Consequently, privacy in this project is significantly greater. Astra Homes in Fuengirola (from €364,000) offers a different dynamic, focused on affordability and compactness. The price of €4,114,000 for this project reflects exclusivity and spacious land ownership in an urban coastal environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is it really to walk to the beach?
The distance to Playa del Faro is 280 meters as the crow flies. Because the terrain has a slight slope and roads sometimes wind, the actual walking distance is approximately 300 to 400 meters, depending on the exact route.
How do I get from the airport to the house?
The distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is 22 kilometers. By car, this is approximately 20 to 25 minutes with normal traffic via the A-7 or the coastal road N-340.
Is there an elevator in the house?
Yes, the property features an elevator connecting the three levels (main floor, first floor, and basement).
What does the 8.9% 'slope to the beach' mean?
This indicates that the terrain between the property and the beach has a steep gradient. This means that walking to the beach requires physical effort and cycling back may be more strenuous.
Is there parking on site?
Yes, the basement contains a parking space for multiple vehicles, accessible via the elevator or stairs.
What are the additional costs when purchasing?
In Spain, transfer tax (ITP) and notary costs amount to around 10% to 13% of the purchase price. For new builds, 10% VAT is charged.
How does the buying process for new build in Spain work?
The process starts with a reservation, followed by signing a private contract and paying deposits. Finally, the notary delivery takes place and payment of the remaining balance upon completion.
Are there shops nearby?
Yes, a supermarket is located 354 meters away. Additionally, there are 4 banks and 3 pharmacies within 2 kilometers.

Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The villa is situated in El Faro, a district in the municipality of Mijas Costa. The location falls within an urban environment with a direct position on the coastline. The property is within a stone's throw of Playa del Faro - Punta Calaburras. The surrounding buildings primarily consist of residential homes and tourist facilities. The property features a southern orientation, resulting in maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day.

Layout

The layout of the villa is focused on living comfort across multiple levels. The main floor houses the living spaces and two bedrooms, making this level suitable for daily living. The first floor provides two additional bedrooms and a study room, offering functionality for work or guests. The basement provides parking space for multiple vehicles and significant storage space or potential for recreational setup, ensuring flexibility in the use of the home.

Project Status

This property is a new construction project, specifically marked as 'Excellent' and 'New Construction'. The architecture is described as modern and ultra-modern, with contemporary finishes and installations. The home is fully equipped with air conditioning for both heating and cooling. The technical condition of the property is new, ensuring compliance with current building standards and requirements regarding living comfort and insulation.

Points of Attention

Given the urban density of the surroundings and the proximity to amenities and the coast, there may be environmental noise and activity during the summer months. The home spans three levels connected by stairs; although an elevator is present, the stairs form a physical part of the routing. The basement space is currently raw or functionally fitted as a garage and machine room, meaning certain applications, such as an extra guest suite, would require finishing work.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This project is suitable for households that place high value on privacy and direct access to the coast without relying on tourist complexes. The layout with multiple floors and the spacious basement offers flexibility for families combining work and living, or for situations where long-term guests stay. The presence of an elevator makes the object suitable for those experiencing mobility limitations or wishing to avoid stair climbs. It is also fitting for car enthusiasts desiring parking space on private property, as the basement offers a solution. The location in El Faro suits those seeking the vibrancy of the Costa del Sol but requiring a sheltered living environment at the end of the day.

Build Quality & Finishing

The villa features a modern finish with materials tailored for contemporary living. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a separate utility room, indicating a practical layout. The presence of air conditioning, both cold and hot, ensures a pleasant indoor climate throughout the year. Additionally, fitted wardrobes provide efficient storage space. The construction includes an elevator installation, integrated both technically and aesthetically into the design. The outdoor space is arranged with a swimming pool and a barbecue area, supporting the quality of outdoor living.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The asking price for this project is €4,114,000. This price level positions the villa in the higher segment of the real estate market in Mijas Costa.

Compared to apartments in the immediate vicinity, this represents a significant investment in privacy and living space. Variation in price is not relevant for this specific project, as it is a single property.

Living & Surroundings

The immediate environment of the villa is characterized by a mix of permanent residence and tourism. Within a short distance, various dining establishments are present; there are 31 restaurants within a 2-kilometer radius. The proximity to Playa del Faro and Playa del Charcón makes the beach a daily destination. The district is urban in character, meaning facilities such as banks and cafes are in direct proximity. This creates an environment that is lively, yet immediately around the plot offers privacy due to the private garden and positioning of the house.

Location in the Region

The villa is situated in El Faro, part of the municipality of Mijas. This location is centrally located on the west coast of Málaga, between the larger cities of Fuengirola and Marbella.

This distinguishes it from projects further inland that are more dependent on car transport.

Málaga Airport is located at a distance of 22 kilometers, which means approximately 20 to 25 minutes of driving under normal traffic conditions. For public transport, the train stations Carvajal (4.8 km) and Fuengirola (5.9 km) are the nearest access points.
