Las Lagunas is where everyday Mijas happens: schools, shops, a public health centre, the CARE specialist centre and the Gran Parque, beside Fuengirola and its train station. Inland, Campo de Mijas offers established residential neighbourhoods with villas, townhouses and apartments; in August 2026 it recorded the lowest asking-price figure among idealista’s eleven published Mijas districts.
In idealista’s districts, Las Lagunas includes Los Ríos - CARE, Las Flores, Los Árboles, Las Cañadas and Centro; Campo de Mijas includes Urb. Campo Mijas - Hornillo, Sierrezuela, El Coto, Lagarejo, Haza del Algarrobo - Las Lomas and Cortijo Chico.
The Gran Parque
Las Lagunas has a 27-hectare Gran Parque, whose children’s splash park opened in June 2026 with 41 interactive features (Ayuntamiento de Mijas (opens in a new tab)). The park includes five children’s play areas. Las Lagunas also has a municipal sports centre on Camino del Albero, with an indoor swimming pool, a 253 m² public library at Teatro Manuel España, and a weekly market at the fairground on Saturdays, from about 9am to 2pm (sports (opens in a new tab); library (opens in a new tab); markets (opens in a new tab)).

Campo de Mijas had the lowest of the eleven district figures in August 2026, about 21% below the municipal figure, and Las Lagunas about 10% below. An advertisement checked on 6 October 2026 stated community fees of €25 per month for a villa in Campo de Mijas (listing (opens in a new tab)). This is an individual advertised example, not an area average.
New builds
Las Lagunas had the most new-development advertisements of any Mijas district on 6 October 2026: 21 on idealista’s Spanish-language search (idealista (opens in a new tab)); these are advertising counts, not distinct projects or homes. As an example, Nuovit Homes advertised two-bedroom homes at Lakün, in the Las Flores neighbourhood, from €511,750 plus VAT (Nuovit (opens in a new tab), 6 October 2026). Before paying anything off-plan, have your own lawyer check the building licence, the designated account and the guarantee or insurance issued in your name.
Living there all year

If you plan to let the property
Since 3 April 2025, a new holiday let covered by Spain’s Horizontal Property Law generally requires prior express approval from the owners’ association. Have an independent adviser check the property’s planning compatibility, tourism requirements, community rules and any applicable transitional provisions before relying on rental income.
Who Las Lagunas and Campo de Mijas suit
Las Lagunas suits buyers who want schools, shops, health care and the Gran Parque close by, with Fuengirola and its train next door; Campo de Mijas suits those who want a villa or a townhouse in an established neighbourhood, in the district with the lowest published asking-price figure in August 2026.
If you want the beach on your doorstep, look at La Cala and the coast; for village life, Mijas Pueblo and the hills.
