Almare is a new residential development of 48 homes under construction in Mijas, in the western Costa del Sol, province of Málaga. The project comprises apartments with 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and built sizes ranging from 90 to 131 square metres, with prices starting from €496,000. Completion is indicatively scheduled for Q4 2028. The development includes a communal swimming pool, landscaped gardens, a fully equipped gym and storage rooms. The site sits in an urban environment with shops, a supermarket and a pharmacy within walking distance, roughly one kilometre from the coast at La Cala de Mijas and about 14 kilometres from Málaga airport.
Within the Mijas new-build market, Almare occupies the mid-to-upper price band. Comparable projects include Jardines de las Lagunas II from €411,600, Hacienda El Sueño from €352,600 and Electus from €490,000, Almare's €496,000 entry price sits at the top of this local set. The differential is partly explained by specification (sea-view terraces, gym, storage rooms, ensuite bathrooms) and by the elevated position that produces the panoramic sightlines listed in the project features. Positionally, Mijas as a municipality benefits from its central location in the Costa del Sol Occidental: 24 kilometres to both Málaga and Marbella, 14 kilometres to the airport, and the Fuengirola railway connection at under 5 kilometres. This connectivity profile is stronger than inland alternatives and comparable to Fuengirola itself, while offering more hillside and view-oriented settings than the flat coastal towns. The municipality's scale, 95,104 registered inhabitants in 2025, 3,800 recorded property transactions and a year-round service layer of schools, health centres and 266 sports facilities, supports both permanent residence and rental demand, in contrast to smaller resort enclaves along the coast. The trade-off relative to cheaper local competitors is the wait: delivery is indicatively Q4 2028, whereas some nearby projects may be completed or resale stock could be occupied immediately. Buyers comparing options should weigh the price premium and off-plan timeline against the specification level and the location's balance of walkable amenities, coastal access and dual-city proximity, a combination that underpins the western Costa del Sol's consistent demand from northern European buyers seeking the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is located in Mijas, in the La Cala de Mijas coastal area of the western Costa del Sol. A supermarket lies within 294 metres and a pharmacy within 283 metres. The nearest beaches at Torreblanca-Carvajal are approximately 4.5 kilometres away by road. Fuengirola railway station is 4.8 kilometres away, and Málaga airport roughly 14 kilometres. The site sits at about 213 metres above sea level with a moderate slope towards the coast.
The homes are configured for 2 to 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, built areas of 90 to 131 square metres and generous terraces oriented towards sea views. An ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted kitchen, hot and cold air conditioning and double glazing are included. Communal facilities comprise a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, relaxation areas and a gym, with a lift and storage room provided. This configuration supports both permanent residence and secondary-home use.
The project is currently under construction, with indicative completion in Q4 2028. The development comprises 48 homes in a contemporary architectural style, designed around natural light, sea views and outdoor living through large terraces. Purchases at this stage are typically transacted off-plan, meaning buyers contract on plans and staged payments before the building is delivered. Construction progress and delivery dates remain subject to the developer's schedule.
The project does not include private pools, and the swimming pool is communal. No private garden is provided; gardens are communal and landscaped. The data specifies no fireplace, no separate guest apartment and no staff accommodation. Heating is limited to air conditioning (hot and cold) rather than underfloor or central heating. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data, and completion is not expected before Q4 2028.
The configuration suits several recognisable buyer situations. A 2-bedroom, 90-square-metre apartment with a terrace and sea view functions as a secondary home for couples or small households seeking a coastal base with managed communal facilities and no exterior maintenance obligations. The 3-bedroom layouts up to 131 square metres provide room for families using the property year-round, supported by the 15 primary and 10 secondary schools in the municipality and two health centres. The location works for buyers who prioritise walkable daily amenities over a frontline beach position: supermarket and pharmacy within 300 metres offset the roughly 4.5-kilometre distance to the sand. The setting also suits those who travel frequently, given the 14-kilometre distance to Málaga airport and the railway connection at Fuengirola. Golf players find three courses, Los Lagos, Los Olivos and Mijas Golf, within six kilometres. The Q4 2028 delivery means the project fits buyers with a longer horizon rather than those needing immediate occupancy. Off-plan purchase requires staged payments and acceptance of construction-phase risk, which suits buyers with liquidity and patience. It does not suit buyers seeking a finished home, a private pool or direct beach access within walking distance.
The available specification indicates a contemporary new-build standard. Kitchens are delivered fully fitted, which in Spanish new-build practice generally means installed cabinetry, worktops and appliances within the developer's defined package. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and at least one bathroom is configured as an ensuite, indicating a layout with two full bathrooms across all units. Climate control is provided through hot and cold air conditioning, delivering year-round temperature regulation; underfloor heating and central heating are not part of the specification. Windows are double glazed, which supports both acoustic comfort and thermal performance, relevant in a location with 3,886 recorded sunshine hours per year and average temperatures of 17.8 degrees Celsius annually, ranging between 14 and 26 degrees. Each home includes a private terrace, covered in configuration, designed as an extension of the living area, plus a storage room and lift access to all floors. Communal areas comprise a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, relaxation zones and a fully equipped gym. The energy efficiency certificate is not stated in the available data; current Andalusian building regulations require new residential construction to meet defined thermal-envelope standards, so buyers should request the specific energy rating from the developer. As the project is under construction, final finishes are documented in the developer's specification rather than observable on site.
Prices start from €496,000, with the full range running to €745,000. The entry price corresponds to a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home of 90 square metres, while larger 3-bedroom units of up to 131 square metres occupy the upper end of the range. This places Almare above several comparable new-build projects in Mijas, Jardines de las Lagunas II from €411,600 and Hacienda El Sueño from €352,600, but broadly in line with Electus at €490,000. The price span of roughly €249,000 reflects differences in size, floor level, orientation and the extent of sea views across the 48 homes. All prices are stated as 'from' figures; availability changes as construction progresses.
Almare is positioned in a settled residential district of Mijas within walking distance of daily amenities. A supermarket sits under 300 metres from the site and a pharmacy a similar distance, which reduces dependence on the car for routine errands. The immediate surroundings include restaurants, cafés and banks, the wider two-kilometre radius contains 29 restaurants, 4 banks and 3 cafés, giving the area a lived-in, year-round character rather than a purely seasonal one. The municipality counts some 95,000 registered inhabitants, 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, which indicates a permanent resident base. Daily rhythms here are shaped by the elevation and orientation. At roughly 213 metres above sea level, many homes benefit from sea views across a moderate 4.9 per cent gradient towards the coast. Mornings can start on the terrace, the photograph material shows balcony dining with sea views, while the beach lies about a kilometre from the La Cala front and 4.3 kilometres at the nearest access point at Torreblanca-Carvajal. Public transport is available through 7 lines and 69 stops in the municipality, and Fuengirola station, 4.8 kilometres away, connects to the regional Cercanías line towards Málaga. A car remains useful for beach visits, golf and the airport, but is not strictly necessary for shopping or schooling.
The immediate environment is urban and residential with amenities on the doorstep. The supermarket at 294 metres and pharmacy at 283 metres place daily essentials within a five-minute walk, and 29 restaurants within two kilometres cover a range of everyday and leisure dining. Four banks and three cafés complete the local service layer. This density indicates a functioning neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave. Healthcare is structured in two tiers: two health centres serve the municipality, and the nearest hospital is 6.6 kilometres away. Education provision, 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, supports year-round family residence. For recreation, the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club lies 2.0 kilometres away, a sports centre at IES Villa de Mijas 1.3 kilometres, and Karting Mijas 2.7 kilometres. Three viewpoints within 2.1 kilometres (Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón, Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu and Mirador de Cañada Gertrudis) mark the hillside character of the surroundings. Transport infrastructure includes 7 bus lines with 69 stops, railway stations at Fuengirola (4.8 km), Carvajal (4.9 km) and Torremuelle (7.1 km), and the A-7 coastal motorway linking to Málaga (24 km) and Marbella (24 km). An electric vehicle charger is 3.7 kilometres away, with a Tesla Supercharger at Fuengirola (4.6 km).
The map shows the development's position on the Mijas hillside, roughly midway between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas on the western Costa del Sol. Note the short walking distances to supermarket and pharmacy, the 4.3-kilometre route to the nearest beach, and the equidistant positioning between Málaga and Marbella at 24 kilometres each, the classic midpoint of the Costa del Sol's Mediterranean coastline.

The site sits at 213 metres above sea level with a moderate 4.9 per cent slope towards the coast, which explains the sea views and panoramic sightlines noted in the project features. The local climate is Mediterranean with an annual mean temperature of 17.8 degrees Celsius and monthly averages ranging from 14 to 26 degrees. Historical records show 3,886 sunshine hours per year, a figure consistent with the Costa del Sol's reputation as one of Europe's sunniest coastlines, which makes the terraces and covered outdoor spaces usable for most of the year. The sea itself warms to 20 degrees or above for approximately four months, typically June through September, defining the practical swimming season for sea bathing; the communal pool extends this window. Winters remain mild by northern European standards, and the altitude of just over 200 metres moderates summer heat slightly compared with the immediate shoreline. The hillside position also places several designated viewpoints within two kilometres, indicating accessible walking terrain in the immediate hinterland.

The Mijas coastline holds five Blue Flag beaches: Calahonda (Riviera), Calahonda I (Royal Beach-La Luna), El Bombo, El Chaparral and La Cala. Blue Flag status reflects verified water quality, safety services and accessibility standards, so the nearest sandy options at 4.3 to 5.2 kilometres (Torreblanca-Carvajal, Torreblanca, Los Boliches) are supplemented by these certified municipal beaches a short drive away. Playa de San Francisco is 4.9 kilometres distant. Golf is a defining recreational feature of this stretch of coast: Campo Los Lagos (3.8 km) and Campo Los Olivos (3.9 km) form part of the Mijas Golf complex, with Santana Golf & Country Club at 6.3 kilometres, four courses within a ten-minute drive. The municipality records 266 sports facilities in total, including the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club (2.0 km). Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (5.2 km) offers moorings, water sports and seasonal excursions, and Karting Mijas (2.7 km) provides a family-oriented activity option.
