A one-bedroom apartment in the Almitak development, the first phase of the Orion Collection in Mijas Costa, Málaga. The home measures 43 m² of living space and forms part of a complex of 46 apartments with staggered terraces, communal pools, a spa, a gym and on-site parking. The asking price is €294,000. Construction is under way, with indicative delivery in the third quarter of 2027. The location sits in an urban environment with a supermarket 390 m away, the beach about 1.5 km away as the crow flies and Málaga Airport roughly 20 km away.
Within Mijas Costa itself, this apartment sits between two comparable new-build projects on price. Laguna Nova starts from €213,000, positioned as the more accessible option, while Greenity begins at €376,000, roughly a quarter above the €294,000 asking price of this unit. Further along the coast in Estepona, Acqua Gardens starts from €524,600, reflecting the higher entry prices common in that western pocket of the Costa del Sol. The broader market context matters here: the region records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale and new-build market. Median income in the province stands at €16,450, which frames the local purchasing power but says little about international buyers who drive much of the coastal demand. What distinguishes this project within its own area is the combination of urban walkability, supermarket within 390 m, pharmacy within 349 m, and proximity to golf, with three courses inside 3.3 km. The elevated position at 279 m brings mountain and panoramic views but also a steep 6.5% gradient towards the sea, a trade-off buyers should weigh against seafront alternatives in Fuengirola, where beaches sit closer but terraces are typically smaller. Compared with Marbella 24 km away, entry prices here remain materially lower, which is the core of Mijas Costa's position in the regional hierarchy: mid-priced, service-rich, and between the two major hubs of the coastline.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Mijas Costa, the main commercial and residential zone adjoining Fuengirola. A supermarket sits 390 m away and a pharmacy 349 m, both within walking distance. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, is 1.5 km away in a straight line, and the gradient towards the coast is steep at 6.5%. Málaga Airport is 20 km away as the crow flies.
The home offers one bedroom, one bathroom and 43 m² of living space, with a private terrace and east-facing orientation. Heating and cooling are provided by aerothermal climate control with hot and cold air conditioning. Fitted wardrobes and a covered terrace are included, while the communal areas add a pool, jacuzzi, gym and landscaped gardens.
The apartment is a new-build unit within Almitak, the first phase of the Orion Collection, comprising 46 apartments with one to three bedrooms. Construction is currently under way. Delivery is indicatively scheduled for the third quarter of 2027, although completion dates in new-build projects are always subject to change.
The unit has a single bedroom and bathroom and 43 m² of living area, which limits its capacity for larger households. The listed unit does not include a private garden, which is reserved for the three-bedroom type in the same development. The steep 6.5% gradient to the beach affects walking routes to the coast. Parking is on site but details of storage space are not specified.
This unit suits a buyer looking for a compact new-build base on the Costa del Sol. A single person or couple seeking a holiday apartment near golf courses and within walking distance of daily amenities fits the profile, as the size and layout serve short and medium stays well. The east-facing terrace with morning sun works for those who value breakfast outdoors and afternoon shade. Buyers planning a permanent move to the coast may find the walkability of the area practical: shops, pharmacy and cafés are on foot, while the train stations at Carvajal (4.3 km) and Fuengirola (5.5 km) connect towards Málaga. Investors may note the region records around 3,800 housing transactions per year and the tourism infrastructure of ten hotels and 2,131 beds. The home fits less well for families needing multiple bedrooms, or for buyers who want a flat stroll to the beach, given the steep gradient. Buyers wanting sea views from the living room should verify orientation, as the listed views are of mountains, garden, pool and panoramic scenery rather than direct sea views.
The apartments in Almitak are built with an open-plan kitchen, home automation, smart locks, aerothermal climate control and high-performance insulation. The development carries an energy rating of A, reflecting the combination of aerothermal technology and insulation levels in the design. Each home includes fitted wardrobes, a private terrace and, in the listed features, a covered terrace section. Hot and cold air conditioning is installed, allowing year-round temperature control in a climate where monthly averages range from 14 to 26°C. The staggered architecture creates generous terraces, natural light and privacy between neighbouring units, a design decision that directly affects daily use, as outdoor living space forms a substantial part of the floor plan. Higher types in the development offer ensuites and, in the three-bedroom version, a private garden of around 40 m². Communal facilities are built to a standard that includes a landscaped garden area, a pool with waterfall, a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, spa, gym and a space for yoga and pilates. Parking is provided on site. The en-suite bathroom listed among the features adds an extra layer of daily comfort for a one-bedroom unit. As construction is under way, finishes should be confirmed against the developer's specification at the time of contract.
The asking price is fixed at €294,000 for this one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment of 43 m². Within the same Almitak development, three unit types are offered: a one-bedroom layout of 83 m² built with a 24 m² terrace, a two-bedroom layout of 102 m² built with terraces of up to 149 m², and a three-bedroom layout of 133 m² built with a terrace and a private garden of around 40 m². Compared with nearby new-build projects, Greenity in Mijas Costa from €376,000 and Laguna Nova in Mijas Costa from €213,000, the price sits between the two. Delivery is indicatively planned for the third quarter of 2027.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around an urban, walkable setting. The supermarket at 390 m and the pharmacy at 349 m mean groceries and basic care run errands can be done on foot. The immediate area counts around 32 restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and three cafés within two kilometres, which supports a full-year living pattern rather than a purely seasonal one. The home itself is compact: 43 m² with one bedroom and one bathroom, oriented east so the terrace receives morning sun. Communal facilities shape the outdoor rhythm, with a pool, a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, spa, gym and a space for yoga and pilates. Mijas Costa combines sea and mountains, with a 7 km coastal path, several golf courses within about 3 km and hiking trails inland. The Cerrado del Aguila Golf course lies 2.3 km away, Campo Los Lagos 2.8 km and El Chaparral Golf Club 3.3 km. The position at 279 m above sea level means the coast involves a climb; the gradient towards the beach is 6.5%, so walks back from the sea require some effort. Fuengirola's train station is 5.5 km away, with eight public transport lines and 50 stops serving the area. Fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools sit within reach, along with two health centres.
The surroundings blend residential calm with urban convenience. Within two kilometres, the area offers 32 restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and three cafés, giving residents everyday options without depending on a car for basics. The supermarket at 390 m and the pharmacy at 349 m anchor the immediate neighbourhood. For sport, the Polideportivo Juan Roa Sánchez lies 1.8 km away, the Club de Tenis y Padel Lew Hoad 2.4 km, and the Piscina Municipal 1.9 km. Three viewpoints within 1.4 km, Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 0.6 km, Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 0.8 km and Mirador de Cañada Gertrudis at 1.4 km, mark the elevated position of the area. An EV charging point sits 283 m from the home, useful for electric vehicle owners. Public transport covers the area with eight lines and 50 stops, and the train stations at Carvajal (4.3 km) and Fuengirola (5.5 km) provide rail connections along the coast. The setting combines mountain views with proximity to the sea, and the 7 km coastal path offers a route for walking and cycling near the shore.
The map shows the home's position between Fuengirola and the hills of Mijas, with the coast 1.5 km away as the crow flies. Málaga and Marbella sit equidistant at 24 km. Note that distances shown are straight-line measurements; roads follow the terrain, and the 6.5% gradient to the sea extends actual travel on foot.

Mijas Costa forms the main commercial and residential zone adjoining Fuengirola, positioned between the two anchors of the region: Málaga, 24 km away with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, and Marbella, also 24 km away with about 148,000. This places the home centrally on the Costa del Sol, roughly 20 minutes by car from the airport according to the developer. The setting combines the density and services of the Fuengirola conurbation with the elevated, view-oriented terrain of inland Mijas.
The nearest beaches lie at 1.5 to 1.7 km as the crow flies: Playa del Castillo (1.5 km), Playa de Fuengirola (1.6 km) and Playa de Santa Amalia (1.7 km). Note these are straight-line distances; actual road routes are longer, and the 6.5% gradient means the return walk climbs. Other beaches such as Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal sit 4.2 km away in a direct line. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 15 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar Airport about 80 km. By car, Málaga Airport is roughly 20 minutes and Marbella about 30 minutes according to the developer. Golf courses cluster nearby: Cerrado del Aguila at 2.3 km, Campo Los Lagos at 2.8 km and El Chaparral at 3.3 km in straight-line terms. A hospital lies 10 km away, and two health centres serve the local area. Málaga (24 km) and Marbella (24 km) are equidistant in a direct line, positioning the home between the two largest hubs of the western Costa del Sol.

The area records an average annual temperature of 16.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about four months, when sea temperatures reach 20°C or above, roughly June through September. The home stands at 279 m above sea level, an elevation that brings mountain views and slightly cooler evenings than the seafront. The gradient towards the beach measures 6.5%, described as steep, which shapes walking and cycling routes to the coast. The wider setting of Mijas combines sea and mountains, with hiking trails inland and a 7 km coastal path along the shore. Rainfall concentrates outside the summer months, keeping the warm season dry and suited to outdoor living on the terraces. The east-facing orientation gives the terrace morning sun and afternoon shade, a pattern that suits breakfast outdoors and cooler late-day use.
