This key-ready studio is situated in a frontline beach complex in Calahonda, in the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property measures 43 m² and offers one bathroom, sea views, a west-facing orientation, air conditioning and access to a communal pool and garden. The asking price is fixed at €259,000. The building dates from 1974 and is described as being in good condition. The complex is gated and includes a lift and a children's pool. Daily amenities, golf courses and the beach at Playa de Calahonda are all within short reach of the property.
Within its segment, this studio competes with both resale stock along the Mijas coast and new-build alternatives elsewhere on the Costa del Sol. Among comparable new projects, Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those developments offer contemporary construction standards and warranties, but generally further from the beach; this studio's fixed price of €259,000 buys a frontline beach position and direct sea views in a 1974 complex, a trade-off between age and location that defines much of the coastal resale market. The immediate area supports around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating steady liquidity, and Calahonda's tourism base of 10 hotels with roughly 2,131 beds sustains seasonal rental demand. Compared with Marbella, 15 km to the west as the crow flies, price levels in Calahonda sit noticeably lower, while the distance to Málaga city (37 km) and its airport (about 28 km straight-line) keeps the location practical for international buyers. Amenities are denser here than in many neighbouring districts: 38 restaurants and 15 cafés within 2 km exceed the provision of more residential inland zones, and golf access, five courses within about 4 km, is stronger than in either Fuengirola's urban core or parts of Estepona. Buyers weighing this property against new-build options should weigh the 1974 construction date and studio format against the scarcity of frontline beach positions at this price point.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The studio stands in a frontline beach complex in Calahonda, roughly between Fuengirola and Marbella. Playa de Calahonda lies approximately 1.0 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate gradient of 5.5% between the complex and the shore. The area sits at about 55 m above sea level. Marbella is 15 km away in a straight line; Málaga city lies 37 km away.
The property functions as a compact coastal home or holiday base for one or two occupants. The living space of 43 m² combines sleeping, living and cooking in one area, with a fully fitted kitchen and a separate bathroom. Communal gardens, a swimming pool and a children's pool extend the usable space outdoors. Air conditioning and a west-facing position with sea views support year-round and seasonal use.
This is an existing home, completed in 1974, offered in key-ready condition with a fixed asking price of €259,000. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule involved; the buyer can take over the property directly after completion of the purchase process. The condition is stated as good, and the complex facilities, pool, garden, lift and gated access, are already in operation.
The property is a studio with one combined living/sleeping area and a single bathroom, which limits privacy between occupants and space for larger households. No private garden, private pool, private parking space or storage room is listed in the available data. The building dates from 1974, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations. Community living means shared rules and communal fees apply.
This property fits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance base directly on the coast, whether as a second home, a holiday retreat or a compact permanent residence for one or two people. The studio layout suits solo occupants and couples who prioritise location and view over interior space. Buyers planning to spend extended periods in southern Spain without a large maintenance burden benefit from the communal garden and pool arrangement, where upkeep is handled by the community. The property may also appeal to investors interested in rental potential: Calahonda's tourism infrastructure, 10 hotels and roughly 2,131 beds, points to established seasonal demand, and frontline beach units with sea views are a recognised rental category. It is less suitable for families needing multiple bedrooms, buyers requiring private parking or substantial storage, or those expecting contemporary new-build energy standards from a 1974 construction. Purchasers who want evening sun will find the west-facing orientation works in their favour, while those preferring morning light may not. Finally, buyers who value walking-distance amenities, shops, restaurants, pharmacies and health centres within roughly 2 km, will find the location matches that requirement without a daily dependency on the car.
The studio is offered in good condition, with a fully fitted kitchen and a tiled bathroom visible in the property photographs. Interior images show a modern living and dining area with large windows, and a dining space with direct sea views, suggesting the main living areas have been updated or maintained to a contemporary standard. Air conditioning provides climate control, relevant for the warm months when average temperatures along this stretch of coast support a swimming season of about five months with sea water at 20°C or above. As a building completed in 1974, the underlying structure and installations date from an earlier construction era; buyers should expect thermal and acoustic performance that differs from current new-build regulations, and may wish to commission a technical survey to assess wiring, plumbing and window quality. The complex itself offers a lift, gated access, communal gardens and two pools, a main pool and a children's pool, which are shared facilities maintained collectively. Internal finishing touches visible in the imagery include large glazing in the living area and a balcony oriented toward the sea, which serves as the property's principal outdoor space. No information is available in the data regarding storage rooms, private parking, or recent renovation dates, so verification of these points during a viewing is advisable.
The asking price is fixed at €259,000 for this key-ready studio of 43 m² with one bathroom, sea views, air conditioning and communal facilities including a pool, children's pool, garden and lift. As an existing resale property in a 1974 frontline beach complex, the price reflects location and view rather than new-build specifications. Comparable new-build projects nearby start higher: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Around 3,800 housing transactions take place per year in the wider area, indicating an active resale market. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase.
Calahonda is a consolidated residential area on the Mijas coast, developed largely from the 1970s onwards, with a mix of permanent residents, second-home owners and seasonal visitors. This studio sits in a frontline beach complex, which places daily life within walking distance of the sea. The beach at Playa de Calahonda is approximately 1.0 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate 5.5% gradient on the route down. Mornings can start with a walk along the shore; the west-facing orientation means the interior and terrace receive afternoon and evening light, with sea views from the living space and balcony. Within a 2 km radius, the area counts 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies and 9 banks, so errands and dining out rarely require a car. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the vicinity, and education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, with the English International College 7.0 km away as the crow flies. Outside the peak summer months the neighbourhood quiets down considerably, giving the area a different rhythm in winter. Public transport consists of 4 lines with around 50 stops, which supports car-free living along the coastal corridor, although a car remains useful for reaching Marbella, inland villages or the airport with luggage. The studio format itself shapes the living pattern: one open space, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom, with communal gardens and pools providing the outdoor room a studio lacks.
Life around this studio revolves around the coastal strip between Fuengirola and Marbella. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies about 1.0 km away as the crow flies, with neighbouring beaches La Luna-Royale at 1.1 km and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera at 1.3 km. The gradient from the complex to the shore is a moderate 5.5%, manageable on foot for most people. The immediate amenity provision is substantial: within 2 km there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks, 7 pharmacies and a dentist, alongside two health centres. Education is well represented with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, and the English International College sits 7.0 km away in a straight line. For recreation, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both about 0.6 km away, Cabopino golf 2.1 km, El Soto Golf 3.6 km and the Par 3 Course 4.1 km. Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 km away, offering a harbour setting with dining and moored boats. Public transport covers the area with 4 lines and around 50 stops, connecting the coastal towns. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, is 15 km away as the crow flies; Málaga city, with about 579,000 inhabitants, is 37 km away.

Calahonda occupies a mid-position on the western Costa del Sol, in the municipality of Mijas, between Fuengirola and Marbella. Marbella, 15 km away in a straight line, anchors the western end of daily life here, while Málaga city, 37 km straight-line, provides the regional capital's cultural and commercial weight. Algeciras, roughly 77 km away in a straight line, marks the southern approach toward Gibraltar and the Atlantic coast. This positioning places the studio within reach of both the consolidated resort coast around Marbella and the metropolitan area of Málaga, with airport access of roughly 28 km straight-line to AGP.
Accessibility is one of the practical strengths of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) lies approximately 28 km away in a straight line, making flights to and from northern Europe a short transfer by car along the A-7 or AP-7. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is roughly 68 km away in a straight line and serves a smaller selection of routes. Beach access is direct given the frontline position, with the nearest sand approximately 1.0 km away as the crow flies and a moderate 5.5% slope on the walking route. Golfers can reach La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol within about 0.6 km straight-line distance, while Cabopino golf at 2.1 km and El Soto Golf at 3.6 km extend the options. Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 km away. Within a 2 km radius, daily needs are covered by supermarkets-scale amenities including restaurants, cafés, banks and pharmacies. Public transport, 4 lines with some 50 stops, runs along the coast, and a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for daily life in the immediate area.

Calahonda sits at roughly 55 m above sea level on a gentle coastal slope, giving the area elevated sea views without strenuous climbs; the gradient toward the beach is a moderate 5.5%. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, which supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season lasts around five months, during which sea water holds at 20°C or warmer. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and the coastal orientation means the west-facing studio captures afternoon and evening sun, with sunset light over the sea a regular feature of the day. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches in summer. The surrounding landscape combines urbanised coast with nearby green pockets: the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away in a straight line, offers views along the shoreline, and several golf courses double as landscaped green space within a few kilometres. The setting is built-up rather than rural, so nature here is coastal and cultivated rather than wild.
