About Alexandra´s Dream
What do you get on Mijas Costa for around a million euros? At Alexandra's Dream the answer is a proper family home with 3 bedrooms, a private roof terrace and access to a wellness area, in a complex of just 22 homes. The development sits in the green, pine-covered hills of El Chaparral, between La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola. Prices in our data start at €999,000.
Each home has two floors and a solarium. Downstairs you live in an open space with kitchen, dining and sitting areas, plus a laundry room, a guest toilet and direct access to the terrace and small garden. Upstairs are the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including an en suite to the main bedroom. Some homes also get a basement, which you can fit out as a playroom, gym or small cinema. Depending on the type, you park above ground or underground.
There are two homes in our data. The terraced home has 198 m² built and a 66 m² terrace for €999,000. The semi-detached home is considerably larger at 255 m², with a 65 m² terrace, for €1,259,000. That difference in size comes largely from the basement. The development is still under construction: completion is planned for June 2028.

Alexandra´s Dream in figures
The most striking figure is how ordinary the price is. With a median of €4,991 per m², Alexandra's Dream sits exactly on the median for new builds in Mijas (€4,984 per m², 55 developments), so a 0% difference. Compared with resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026) you pay 34% more, which is normal for a new build with a B energy rating and a wellness area. For the €999,000 terraced home, expect around €1,128,988 in total: €99,900 VAT, €11,988 stamp duty, €6,000 notary and €12,100 lawyer. The timing is less favourable: completion is 20 months away, against a median of 14 months for other developments in the municipality.
| Price | € 999.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 99.900 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 11.988 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 6.000 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 12.100 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 44% of new developments in Mijas. Largest outdoor space: 66 m².
Planned completion June 2028. For half of the new developments in Mijas, completion is within 14 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 55 new developments in Mijas and the average asking price of resale homes in Mijas according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
El Chaparral is a quiet residential area of Mijas Costa, set around the golf course of the same name. It lies on a slope above the coast, with lots of greenery and mainly villas and small complexes. The development sits at around 49 metres above sea level. According to the project description, the Mijas Costa beach is around 0.8 km away and El Chaparral Golf Club around 1 km. For restaurants and a seafront promenade you head to La Cala de Mijas, for larger shops to Fuengirola.
In concrete terms: you can walk to Playa del Charcón in 25 minutes, or drive there in 9. For daily shopping you drive 6 minutes to Mercadona; on foot it is 45 minutes, so not practical. Fuengirola town centre is 16 minutes away, St Anthony's College 15. You can reach Marbella's old town in 27 minutes and Málaga Airport in 38.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:00 on 21 June and sets at 21:40, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Alexandra´s Dream sits at around 49 metres above sea level.
According to the project description, every home has sea views from the solarium. Another source mentions a south or south-west orientation; we check by plot number how open the view is from the lower floors.
Homes and finishes
The homes come with fully installed air conditioning and heating via aerothermal energy. The kitchen is fitted with Siemens appliances and the windows reach the ceiling. On the solarium there is space to add a plunge pool and a summer kitchen later; that is an option, not standard. Other sources also mention electric shutters, built-in wardrobes and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. We always request the technical building specification and check which options are included in the base price and which cost extra.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Alexandra´s Dream through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Alexandra´s Dream
Strengths
- Price per m² in line with the Mijas new-build median, despite the wellness area and sea views.
- Full wellness area with gym, sauna and jacuzzi, rare in a complex of 22 homes.
- A basement in some homes gives extra space for family or hobbies.
- A children's pool and gardens make the complex suitable for families with young children.
- Beach a 25-minute walk away, golf around 1 km.
Points to consider
- Completion not until June 2028, 20 months against a municipal median of 14.
- Supermarket a 45-minute walk away; without a car, daily life is awkward.
- Outdoor space equal to 29% of the built area, less than many other developments.
- Small plots: the terraced home has a 20 m² plot, not a real garden.
- Other sites show a different price, size and completion date; ask for the current price list.
Who is Alexandra´s Dream right for?
Alexandra's Dream suits families and couples who often have guests and want a real house rather than an apartment, with a gym and sauna in the complex. If you would like to use a basement as a home office or playroom, you will also find something here that few developments offer. Less suitable if you want to move in quickly, live without a car or expect a large garden.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Alexandra´s Dream
What is the difference between Mijas Pueblo and Mijas Costa?
Mijas Pueblo is the white mountain village inland. Mijas Costa is the coastal strip, with districts such as El Chaparral, La Cala and Calahonda. Alexandra's Dream is on the coast, a 25-minute walk from the beach.
How much does Alexandra's Dream cost including taxes?
For the €999,000 terraced home, expect around €1,128,988, so 13% on top of the price. That includes VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer. A mortgage or furniture is not yet included.
Do all homes have a basement?
No, according to the project description only some of the homes get an underground floor. That explains why the semi-detached home has 255 m² and the terraced home 198 m². We request the plans for each plot number.
When will Alexandra's Dream be completed?
Completion is planned for June 2028. Another source mentions 2027, so we have the date confirmed in the purchase contract and check the bank guarantee on every advance payment.
Do I pay more if I buy Alexandra´s Dream through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Alexandra´s Dream, that adds up to around 13.0%.
