Luxurious Living Redefined on the Costa del Sol

InMijas, between the whitewashed hilltop town and the coastal hubs of Benalmádena and Fuengirola, a new residential development is taking shape. It comprises 23 independent villas and 41 apartments, all oriented to capture the sweep of the Mediterranean and the Sierra de Mijas. The architecture is contemporary, the materials are stone and glass, and the landscape is left to do much of the work.

The villas offer four, five or six bedrooms, with private pools, gardens and the option of one or two floors above ground. Each comes with an underground space — useful for storage, a gym or a second living area. Floor plans are generous, and the terraces are large enough for outdoor dining and lounging.

The apartments are two or three bedrooms. Ground-floor units have private gardens; middle-floor homes have long terraces; the duplex penthouses open onto expansive roof decks. All are finished with Italian-designed kitchens, underfloor heating and a smart-home system that controls lighting, blinds and climate.

The communal areas are designed for daily use: an infinity pool, a fitness centre with outdoor training space, a clubhouse, co-working rooms, and landscaped gardens with playgrounds. The views — sea on one side, mountains on the other — are constant.

Beaches are four kilometres away. Málaga airport is 25 kilometres. Golf courses lie within a ten-kilometre radius. The nearest marina is about the same distance. Shopping centres, local markets and the ports of Fuengirola and Benalmádena are all a short drive.

The setting works year-round: the hillsides change colour with the seasons, and the light over the coast shifts from morning to evening. If you would like to see the development for yourself, a viewing trip to the Costa del Sol can be arranged.
