Why do buyers choose Las Lagunas for new-build property?
Las Lagunas attracts buyers for a combination of lifestyle quality, location, and property value. Las Lagunas is Mijas's most accessible urban node, drawing buyers who want practical connectivity rather than resort isolation. Sitting on the A-7 corridor between Málaga and Marbella, it offers supermarkets, health centres and commuter links within walking distance. New builds here are predominantly low-rise apartment blocks priced from the mid-€200ks, attracting first-time buyers, remote workers and yield-focused investors. With 26 active developments, supply is broad and competition keeps entry points realistic for those prioritising location over luxury finish. As a sub-area of Mijas on Spain's Costa del Sol, Las Lagunas offers buyers proximity to international schools, golf courses, beaches, and Málaga airport within the broader Marbella lifestyle infrastructure. The new-build market here is driven primarily by international buyers from the UK, northern Europe, and the Middle East who seek modern specifications, energy-efficient construction, and the legal certainty of a Spanish new-build warranty. Development activity tends to be concentrated, meaning buyers benefit from a choice of competing products at similar price points, with developers offering bespoke finish options on off-plan reservations.

Premium villas and penthouse products in Las Lagunas reach €2.21M, reflecting larger plot sizes, private pools, and higher-specification finishes. Prices are influenced by views (sea-view commands a 15–30% premium over garden-view equivalents), construction stage (off-plan typically 8–15% below key-ready comparable), floor level, and unit size. All quoted prices are exclusive of purchase costs, budget an additional 12–15% for IVA (10%), legal fees, notary and registry, and stamp duty on any mortgage.
Is Las Lagunas a good property investment for 2025 and 2026?
Las Lagunas has demonstrated consistent demand from international buyers, underpinned by Mijas's position as one of Europe's most recognised luxury lifestyle destinations. Investment drivers include: limited new-build supply relative to buyer demand, strong holiday rental demand during the extended season (April–October), a buyer base that is predominantly equity-funded and less sensitive to mortgage rate fluctuations, and ongoing infrastructure investment in transport, retail, and hospitality across the broader Costa del Sol. Capital appreciation has been positive across most price segments since 2020, with the highest growth recorded in the €500k–€2M segment. Risks include potential oversupply in specific micro-markets if multiple large phases complete simultaneously, planning delays that affect holding costs for off-plan buyers, and macroeconomic sensitivity in the €3M+ segment. As with all real estate, returns depend on entry price, product specification, location within the sub-area, and hold period. Roccabox's advisory team provides independent market analysis — not sales pitches — to qualified buyers.
