About La Cala Valley
A villa with a private pool and 4 bedrooms for under a million, in Mijas: you do not see that often. La Cala Valley is a gated complex of just 16 homes, terraced, semi-detached or detached, in a contemporary Mediterranean style. It lies in the valley behind La Cala de Mijas, between the coast and the golf valley. Our data lists one semi-detached home for sale, at €955,000.
That home has 279 m² built, of which 243 m² usable, spread over several levels with a lift. There are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, an 83 m² terrace and a private infinity pool. In our data the plot is 46 m², which means the outdoor space consists mainly of terraces rather than a garden. Most homes in the complex have a basement, which may also explain the large built area. Energy rating B.
The project offers various options to personalise your home, and if you work from Spain there is a shared business centre with everything you need to work in peace or hold meetings. According to the project description, each home has a double private parking space. The complex is gated and has communal gardens and storage rooms.

La Cala Valley in figures
Here the price stands out, in a good way. At €3,423 per m², this is one of the cheapest new developments per m² in Mijas: 31% below the new-build median (€4,984, 55 projects) and even 8% below resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026). Do treat that comparison with care: if a basement counts towards the built area, it pushes the price per m² down. All in, you pay around €1,079,260: €95,500 VAT, €11,460 stamp duty, €5,700 notary and €11,600 lawyer. The planned completion date of 1 July 2026 has passed, yet our data does not yet list the home as key-ready.
| Price | € 955.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 95.500 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 11.460 |

| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 11.600 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.

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
The complex lies inland from La Cala de Mijas, at around 90 metres above sea level, in the valley leading towards the golf courses. La Cala itself is a seaside resort with its own character: a beach promenade, beach bars, tapas bars and restaurants, and a gentler pace than Fuengirola or Marbella. Around it are several golf courses and a string of beaches with good water and sand quality. In our data, the project falls under the Calanova area.
In daily life you notice that you live just outside the village. La Cala beach, by El Torreón, is a 6-minute drive. ALDI is 5 minutes away, St Anthony's College 7 minutes. Fuengirola town centre is 16 minutes away, the old town of Marbella 27. Málaga airport is 38 minutes away.
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. La Cala Valley sits at around 90 metres above sea level.
The project description promises open views of the sea and the valley, with a south to south-east orientation. For the home currently for sale, sea views are not confirmed in our data; we will check this on site.
Homes and finishes
The project description talks of high-end finishes, large terraces and relaxation areas, and a private infinity pool. There is a catalogue of personalisation options. Another source mentions energy class A, while our data shows rating B. We therefore request the official energy certificate, check which options are included in the price and verify whether the basement is handed over fully finished and watertight.
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 La Cala Valley through Privé.

Our honest verdict on La Cala Valley
Strengths

- Price per m² 31% below the median for new builds in Mijas.
- Small complex of 16 homes, quiet and easy to oversee.
- Lift in the home, handy with a layout over several levels.
- Beach and supermarket a 5 to 6-minute drive away.
Points to consider
- Plot of only 46 m²: no garden, just terraces and a pool.
- The planned completion date of 1 July 2026 has passed; ask for the current construction status and permits.
- Parking space is not in our unit data, only in the project description.
- The low price per m² may be partly due to a basement in the built area.
- Sea views are promised but not confirmed for this home.
Who is La Cala Valley right for?
La Cala Valley suits families who want plenty of bedrooms and their own pool without going far over a million, and those who work from Spain and value the business centre. It is less suitable if you are looking for a real garden, want to walk to the beach or would rather avoid stairs and several levels.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.

- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.
