Residencial Serena, Las Lagunas de Mijas

What is Residencial Serena?

Residencial Serena is an exclusive new development of just 43 two and three-bedroom homes, designed for peace, comfort and quality of life. The homes feature generous terraces, light-filled interiors, fully fitted kitchens and high-quality finishes. The penthouses stand out with their spectacular terraces and private pools.

The homes

Every home has two bathrooms, one of them en suite, a kitchen open to the living area, built-in wardrobes, air conditioning, aerothermal heating and cooling, and double glazing. There are covered and private terraces, and the penthouses have a solarium. The gated complex has a lift, an entry phone, a communal pool and communal gardens.

A penthouse with its own pool

The penthouses at Residencial Serena are something special: a terrace of up to 93 m² with your own private pool, giving you the peace and privacy of a villa with the convenience of an apartment. There's no garden to look after, a lift takes you right to your door and you share the community costs with the other owners. If you want to enjoy outdoor living all year round, or you're looking for a second home you can simply lock up and leave, it's a winning combination.

The location: Las Lagunas

Las Lagunas de Mijas is the lively part of Mijas bordering Fuengirola, with every amenity close at hand: supermarkets, shopping centres, schools, sports facilities and the vast Gran Parque de la Costa del Sol. You have quick connections to Fuengirola, Marbella, Málaga and the airport, and Fuengirola's beach is just a short distance away.

Living in Mijas

Mijas is one of the largest municipalities on the Costa del Sol and has three distinct sides. High in the hills sits Mijas Pueblo, a white Andalusian mountain village with narrow streets and views far out to sea. Along the coast stretches Mijas Costa, with La Cala, Riviera del Sol, Calahonda and El Chaparral: long sandy beaches, a seafront promenade and plenty of restaurants. Inland lies Las Lagunas, a lively residential centre with shops, schools and sports facilities, right next to Fuengirola.

Mijas is also a true golfing municipality, home to La Cala Resort, Mijas Golf and Calanova Golf, among others. Málaga airport is around twenty to thirty minutes' drive away, Fuengirola and Marbella are close by, and the A-7 and AP-7 connect you quickly to the whole coast. That is why Mijas is so popular with families who live here all year round, with retirees and with second-home buyers.

Why Residencial Serena?

A new apartment from €255,000, or a penthouse with its own private pool, in a small-scale development close to all amenities: Residencial Serena is an excellent choice whether you want to live or invest on the Costa del Sol.

An apartment as a second home

A new apartment is the easiest kind of second home on the Costa del Sol. The garden, pool and communal areas are maintained by the community of owners, so you have nothing to worry about while you're away. With a lift, a parking space and a storage room, you enjoy all the comfort of a new build, along with sunshine almost all year round. If you'd like to let the property while you're not there, check beforehand which licence you need; we'll set out the rules for you.

Enjoy it all year round

The Costa del Sol has one of the mildest climates in Europe, with plenty of sunshine and gentle winters. In summer, life is lived outdoors, around the pool and on the terraces. Autumn and spring bring perfect weather for golf, walking or cycling, and even in winter you'll often have lunch in the sun. Read more in our article on Marbella's microclimate. So a home here isn't just for the holidays, it's one you can enjoy all year round.

How a viewing works

Would you like to see Residencial Serena? We'll arrange your viewing around your trip, even at short notice. Beforehand we'll send you the plans, the specification list and a breakdown of the purchase costs, so you arrive well prepared. Once you're here, we'll show you not just the property but the neighbourhood too: the nearest schools and shops, the beach and the golf courses. That way you'll get an immediate feel for everyday life here.

Would you rather meet remotely first? Then we'll set up a video call and go through the plans together. You only decide once you know everything, and we can guide you in Dutch, English, French or Spanish.

Buying off-plan: how it works

With a new build, you first sign a reservation agreement, then a purchase contract with a deposit, and you pay the balance on completion at the notary. Under Spanish law, deposits on new builds must be protected by a bank guarantee or an insurance policy. Always have this checked, along with the building licence and the timeline. We carry out these legal check together with an independent lawyer, and we guide you from the first viewing right through to the handover of the keys, in your own language.
