Balance, in context.

Balance is a gated collection of two and three-bedroom apartments in Cerrado del Águila, a green pocket of Mijas Costa set between three golf courses and the Mediterranean. The developer describes 75 homes in total, arranged within more than 13,000 m² of landscaped gardens. The scheme is pitched squarely at people who want a quiet family rhythm without giving up the restaurants, shops and beaches of Fuengirola a few minutes away.

The apartments are modest in footprint, from 76 to 98 m² built, but generous where it counts. Orientation has been set to frame the sea and the mountains behind, bringing in natural light and cross-ventilation. On the best units the terraces run to 100 m², large enough for a long table and an evening that drifts on well after sunset.

Garden apartments sit at the lowest level. Kitchens arrive fitted with induction hob, oven, microwave, extractor, dishwasher, fridge and washing machine, so an owner can land in the afternoon and cook that night. Downstairs, a central pool with a chill-out deck anchors the grounds.

Construction began in March 2025 and completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027. Demand has been decisive. Our release data tracks 57 homes rather than the full 75 and 54 of those are already sold. The developer has since launched a larger sister phase nearby on the strength of this one. For buyers who want a place here, the window is now very narrow.

Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. Balance currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With construction under way since March 2025 and handover due in the fourth quarter of 2027, Balance is past the speculative stage and the wait is short. The harder truth is scarcity. Only three of the 57 homes in our data remain. Listed prices of €365,000 to €530,000 work out at roughly €4,800 to €5,400 per m², a clear premium over the €3,034 per m² resale median Casafari records for Cerrado del Águila. That premium buys a new build with sea views, large terraces and resort-style grounds. The entry price still sits at the foot of the €370,000 to €519,000 range asked for nearby two-bedroom resales. With a larger sister phase following, this original release will not be repeated.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.

Scarcity and specification

3 of 57 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.

Risk-managed entry

Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

Balance is not priced against average Mijas Costa resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €4,803 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €3,034/m².

Fuengirola

Golf is the first thing on the doorstep. Cerrado del Águila Golf lies around 450 metres from the development, El Chaparral Golf Club about a kilometre away and Campo Los Lagos within a six-minute drive, so an early tee time needs no planning at all. The sea is just as close. Playa El Chaparral and Playa del Charcón are both about 2 km away, four minutes by car, with beach bars and cafés along the front for a late breakfast after a swim.

Errands are easy. Mercadona and ALDI sit around 2 km away, with pharmacies close by. Fuengirola's marina is nine minutes by car and its train station eight, which puts the coastal line to Málaga within easy reach.

Around 800 metres away, the new Great Park of the Costa del Sol adds a navigable lake, running track, cycle path, skate park, climbing wall and an open-air amphitheatre, a natural weekend fixture for families. Beach clubs and the harbour at Cabopino are under 20 minutes along the coast.

Two hospitals, one of them an international private clinic, lie about 25 minutes away. Málaga airport is roughly 23 km off, a drive of around 45 minutes.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is Balance a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Balance is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Mijas Costa on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.

What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?

Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at Balance?

Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.

Does buying at Balance qualify for Spanish residency?

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.

How far is Balance from Málaga airport?

Approximately 24 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.

What is included in the purchase price?

Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.

Can I personalise the property?

At the Under construction stage, Balance buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
