Last updated: 20 October 2026
About Savia
A new 3-bedroom townhouse for under half a million euros in Mijas: that is no longer a given these days. Savia offers exactly that, for €465,000. The development is in the residential area around the Mijas racecourse, Hipódromo Costa del Sol, with a large Mediterranean pine forest across the road. You will also find it online as Savia Fase II; it is the second phase of a larger scheme.
The available home in our data has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 139 m² built and 110 m² habitable, with an 11 m² terrace and a small 16 m² plot. It comes with 2 parking spaces. The kitchen is delivered fully equipped, with fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, induction hob, oven, microwave and extractor hood. There are also 4-bedroom types, but they are not on our price list.
The complex is designed as a small resort. There are two large communal pools with a chill-out area, a coworking space, a gym and a social club for residents. The development is fenced, with controlled access.

Savia in figures
This is the cheapest new development per m² in Mijas in our comparison. At €3,345 per m² you are 33% below the median of 55 new developments in the municipality (€4,984) and even 10% below the price of resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², Idealista, September 2026). A new build priced below resale is rare. All in, you pay around €525,480 for the €465,000 home: €46,500 VAT, €5,580 stamp duty, €2,800 notary and €5,600 lawyer. The downside is the outdoor space: an 11 m² terrace, just 8% of the built area and among the smallest in our comparison. So your outdoor life will mainly take place at the communal pools.

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 area around the racecourse is a growing residential zone inland from Mijas Costa, at around 46 metres above sea level, between Fuengirola and Mijas Pueblo. The development overlooks a pine forest, and 800 metres away is the new Costa del Sol Park, a large green park with leisure facilities. Within a 5 km radius are two golf courses: Cerrado del Águila and El Chaparral. It is a family-friendly neighbourhood rather than a seaside holiday destination.
What you notice day to day: without a car it is difficult. Mercadona is a 10-minute drive away, El Charcón beach 11 minutes. Fuengirola town centre is 12 minutes away, St Anthony's College 14. Xanit Hospital is 21 minutes away. Allow 34 minutes to Málaga airport and 31 minutes to Marbella.
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. Savia sits at around 46 metres above sea level.
Our data does not confirm sea views. The homes look out over the pine forest opposite; the orientation of each home is not in the data, and we check it on the plans.
Homes and finishes
Each home has central ducted air conditioning for heating and cooling, a fully equipped kitchen with electrical appliances and a reinforced front door. The energy rating is B. Brands and flooring are not in our data. For a development in this price range, we pay extra attention to the insulation between the townhouses, the quality of the joinery and glazing, and we check that the appliance list is written word for word into the purchase contract. As this is a second phase, we also look at how far along the first phase is and how it has been finished: that often says more about build quality than a brochure.
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 Savia through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Savia
Strengths
- Cheapest new build per m² in Mijas, even 10% below resale homes.
- Two parking spaces and a fully equipped kitchen included.
- Complex with two pools, coworking, gym and social club.
- Green setting opposite a pine forest, with a park 800 metres away.
- Two golf courses within 5 km.
Points to consider
- A terrace of only 11 m² and a 16 m² plot.
- No sea views, and the beach is a 47-minute walk.
- Completion not until January 2028; you make stage payments during construction.
- Supermarket a 48-minute walk away: a car is essential.
- Airport 34 minutes away, further than developments on the Fuengirola coast.
Who is Savia right for?
Savia suits young families and buyers on a tighter budget who want a proper 3-bedroom house rather than an apartment, and who appreciate working from home in the coworking space. The low entry price also makes it interesting as an investment. Less suited to anyone looking for sea views, a private garden or the beach within walking distance.
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.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- 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.

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 Savia
Is Mijas a good place to live?
Mijas combines a historic village in the mountains with a long coastline and quiet residential areas. Savia is in one such area near the racecourse, with a park, golf courses and Fuengirola a 12-minute drive away.
How much does a home at Savia cost all in?
For the €465,000 townhouse, the total comes to around €525,480. That includes €46,500 VAT, €5,580 stamp duty, €2,800 notary and €5,600 lawyer.
How far is the beach from Savia?
The nearest beach, El Charcón, is an 11-minute drive away. On foot it is 47 minutes, so in practice you take the car.

Do I pay more if I buy Savia through Imagine Marbella?
