About The Eagle
A development of 59 homes on a 20,000 m² plot, of which only 3,000 m² will be built on: that ratio says a lot about The Eagle. The four buildings stand on a hill beside the Cerrado del Águila golf course, above Las Lagunas de Mijas, and the rest of the land remains garden and footpath. Our data includes 7 homes, from €421,000 for a 1-bedroom ground-floor apartment to €1,098,000 for a 3-bedroom penthouse.
Every home looks out towards the Mediterranean, and according to the project information the buildings sit higher than the access roads, so passers-by cannot see in. The range is broad. There is a compact 1-bedroom apartment of 90 m² built, there are 2-bedroom apartments from 82 m², and there are large 3-bedroom units of up to 180 m². The penthouses on the third floor stand out for their terraces: 107 m² on the 2-bedroom version and 186 m² on the 3-bedroom one.
Every home has its own parking space and a storage room. The communal areas centre on a sea-view infinity pool, a gym and footpaths through the greenery. The complex is gated and has lifts. All the homes in our data have energy rating B. The development is not finished yet and there is no show home; completion is planned for December 2027.

The Eagle in figures
With a median of €5,367 per m², The Eagle sits 8% above the new-build median in Mijas (€4,984, 55 projects) and 44% above resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026). That median hides a wide spread: from €4,505 to €9,314 per m². The highest figure belongs to the €950,000 2-bedroom penthouse, where you are mainly paying for 107 m² of roof terrace. If you buy in with the €421,000 apartment, you pay around €475,752 all in: €42,100 VAT, €5,052 stamp duty, €2,500 notary and €5,100 lawyer. Completion in 14 months is exactly on the median for the municipality.
| Price | € 421.000 |

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 53% of new developments in Mijas. Largest outdoor space: 186 m².
Planned completion December 2027. 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
Cerrado del Águila is a golf urbanisation in the hinterland of Mijas Costa, between Las Lagunas and the hills towards Mijas Pueblo. The development sits at around 104 metres above sea level, so above the buildings along the coast, and the golf course almost borders the plot. Las Lagunas itself is a lively, practical residential area with shops and schools, where many Spaniards live all year round. Fuengirola, with its promenade, markets and train link to Málaga, is close by. So you are not isolated here, but it is a good deal quieter than on the coast.
In practical terms: the ALDI is an 8-minute drive away, Fuengirola centre 11 minutes. El Chaparral beach is a 16-minute drive; on foot it takes 55 minutes. St Anthony's College is 10 minutes away by car. You can reach Hospital Vithas Xanit International in 20 minutes and Málaga airport in 33. Marbella is 36 minutes away.

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. The Eagle sits at around 104 metres above sea level.
All the homes in our data have sea views, including those on the ground floor. How open that view is depends on the building and the floor; we check this home by home.
Homes and finishes
The specifications are extensive. Hot water and underfloor heating come from an aerothermal system, supplemented by central air conditioning and a thermostat in each room. The aluminium window frames have thermal breaks, with lift-and-slide doors in the living room. Electric shutters, lighting and climate are controlled through a smart home system, with water and fire detection. The kitchen comes with Siemens appliances and the front door is armoured. We check that all these points are included in the specifications attached to the purchase contract.
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 The Eagle through Privé.

- Fuengirola centre an 11-minute drive away, ALDI 8 minutes.
Points to consider

- The 2-bedroom penthouse costs €9,314 per m², almost double the entry level.

Who is The Eagle right for?
The Eagle is a good choice if you want sea views without Marbella price levels and like having Fuengirola as your everyday base. Golfers live right next to the course. The small 1-bedroom apartment suits investors or couples. If you want to walk to the sea or do without a car, you are better off looking at developments closer to the coast.
