About Almare
Anyone looking for a new apartment in La Cala de Mijas usually wants two things: to see the sea and to walk to the beach. Almare promises both. The development has 48 homes with 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms and is about a kilometre from the coast. All four homes in our data have sea views, and La Cala beach is a 17-minute walk.
Prices range from €496,000 to €658,000. For €496,000 you get a first-floor apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms: 98 m² built, 75 m² usable and an 18 m² terrace. A ground-floor version of the same size but with a 64 m² terrace costs €515,000. With 3 bedrooms you pay €612,000 for 125 m² on the first floor, or €658,000 for a 134 m² ground-floor apartment with a 28 m² terrace and a small patch of garden.
Every home comes with 1 parking space and a storage room included in the price, and the whole development has energy rating A. The complex is gated with a lift, a communal pool set in landscaped gardens and a fully equipped gym. The development is still at an early stage: completion is planned for December 2028 and there is no show home yet.

Almare in figures
The median of €4,986 per m² is right on the average for new builds in Mijas (€4,984, 55 developments). Compared with resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026), you pay 34% more, the price of a new building with energy rating A. The cheapest apartment at €496,000 will cost you around €560,552 in total: €49,600 VAT, €5,952 stamp duty, €3,000 notary and €6,000 lawyer. A third bedroom costs €116,000 more. Where this development scores lower is outdoor space: the terraces on the upper floors are 18 to 20 m². If you want to live outdoors, the ground-floor apartment with a 64 m² terrace is the better choice, for just €19,000 more.

Location
La Cala de Mijas is a seaside village with a character of its own: a beachfront promenade, sandy beaches and a wide choice of restaurants and shops. It lies between Fuengirola and Marbella, in the coastal part of the municipality of Mijas. Almare is on the inland side of the village, at around 35 metres above sea level. El Chaparral golf club is about 3 km away. Among international buyers who spend long winters here, La Cala is popular because you can do a lot without a car.
You notice that straight away: ALDI is a 10-minute walk, La Cala beach 17 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car. The centre of Fuengirola is a 12-minute drive, Marbella's old town 24. For healthcare, Hospital Costa del Sol is a 17-minute drive. St Anthony's College is 11 minutes away and Málaga airport 34 minutes.

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. Almare sits at around 35 metres above sea level.
All four homes in our data are listed with sea views, including the ground-floor one. At 35 metres above sea level and a kilometre from the coast, the quality of that view depends heavily on the floor and the position within the complex, so we check it on the plan for each home.
Homes and finishes
Each apartment gets a fully fitted kitchen with appliances, ducted air conditioning and a reinforced front door. The homes are designed for plenty of daylight and have energy rating A, which you will notice in lower energy bills. More details on flooring, windows and bathroom fittings are not yet available. We request the technical building specification, compare the finish with other developments in La Cala in the same price bracket and check that your stage payments are covered by a bank guarantee.
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 Almare through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Almare
Strengths
- La Cala beach a 17-minute walk away and a supermarket within 10 minutes.
- Sea views listed for all homes in our data.
- Price per m² right on the median for new builds in Mijas.
- Parking space and storage room included, plus pool and gym in the complex.
- Energy rating A for the whole development.
Points to consider
- Completion not until December 2028, 26 months against a median of 14 in Mijas.
- Upper-floor terraces are small: 18 to 20 m².
- Usable area is well below the built area: 75 m² out of 98 m².
- The 4 bedrooms mentioned in the project information are not yet in our price list.
- No show home; you buy off-plan and make stage payments during construction.
Who is Almare right for?
Almare is a logical choice if you want to winter in La Cala or are looking for a second home where you can walk to the beach, the market and the restaurants. Couples with a mid-range budget get a new build here at an average price. It is less suitable if you want to enjoy or let the property soon, as the keys will not be handed over until the end of 2028. And if you want lots of outdoor space, it is best to look only at the ground-floor homes.

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.
