This fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in Sitio de Calahonda, in the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property measures 99 m² of living area and is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €369,000. Completed in 1986 and recently modernised throughout, the apartment faces south and offers wide views over the Mediterranean. The residential complex includes both an outdoor and an indoor communal swimming pool, the latter available year-round. Beaches, shops and other daily amenities are within walking distance.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a specific niche: a renovated, key-ready resale home in an established urbanisation, priced at €369,000 for 99 m². Comparing it with nearby new-build projects clarifies the trade-offs. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000, all lower entry prices, but these are base figures for new developments where final prices depend on unit selection, floor level and view, and where delivery dates apply. This apartment, by contrast, is available immediately, carries no construction risk, and has already absorbed the cost of a full interior renovation: kitchen, bathrooms, windows and climate control are new rather than budgeted. Calahonda itself sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, which positions it closer to Marbella's amenities than the Torre del Mar or Estepona alternatives while remaining about 30 minutes by car from Málaga airport. The local market context shows steady activity, roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the province, and a rental and second-home demand supported by ten hotels and over 2,100 beds in the immediate area. Buyers weighing this property against new builds should consider three factors: the 1986 construction standard versus modern regulations, the absence of listed private parking or storage, and the value of the already-completed renovation and immediate availability. For buyers who want to use the property within months rather than years, those latter points often outweigh the newer finishes of an off-plan alternative.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in an urbanised stretch of Calahonda, roughly one kilometre as the crow flies from the nearest beach. The immediate surroundings are residential, with a supermarket 592 metres away, a pharmacy 615 metres away and an electric-vehicle charging point 568 metres away. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport sits approximately 28 kilometres away in a straight line. Four public transport lines and fifty stops serve the wider area, making several amenities reachable on foot or by bicycle.
The home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a bright living and dining area connected to a new open-plan kitchen. Two south-facing terraces give direct access to outdoor space with sea views. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold air, and a fireplace adds a secondary heat source. For buyers seeking a Mediterranean base with year-round swimming, the complex includes an indoor pool alongside the outdoor pool, so water facilities remain usable outside the summer months.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 1986 and has since undergone a comprehensive renovation, including a new kitchen, two renewed bathrooms, new double-glazed windows with mosquito screens and a security entrance door. The exterior façade of the residential complex is scheduled for renovation and repainting, and these works have reportedly already been financed. As an existing, key-ready home, the property can be occupied directly after purchase.
The building dates from 1986, so the structure, installations and communal areas follow the standards of that era rather than new-build regulations. No private pool, private garden or private parking space is listed in the available data. The listed living area is 99 m², smaller than the approximate 113 m² mentioned in some marketing material, so buyers should verify the registered measurements. Distances to the beach involve a moderate 5.5% gradient, which may be noticeable on foot.
This apartment suits a buyer who wants an immediately usable, fully renovated home on the Costa del Sol rather than an off-plan purchase with a delivery date. The configuration, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, works for a couple, a small family or owners who regularly host guests. The south-facing orientation and sea views make it a practical choice for those planning extended winter stays, since the indoor pool allows swimming outside the five-month sea season and the fireplace and hot air conditioning cover cooler evenings. Its walkable setting matters for buyers who prefer not to drive daily: shopping, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants are within a short walk, and public transport serves the area with four lines. Proximity to golf and padel facilities, all within walking distance or a short drive, will appeal to players who want regular access without travelling. The property also functions as a second home, given that Marbella is roughly 15 minutes away by car and Malaga airport approximately 30 minutes. Buyers should note the 1986 construction date; those prioritising modern building standards, private parking or a private pool may need to look at newer developments, which typically come at higher price points per square metre in this stretch of coast.
The renovation appears thorough and recent, covering the main elements a buyer would otherwise need to replace. The kitchen is new and open-plan, fitted with wood-fronted cabinetry and a built-in oven according to the interior photographs. Both bathrooms have been newly renovated. Windows are new double glazing fitted with mosquito screens, a practical detail for this climate, where insects are a seasonal factor. The entrance door is a security model. Climate control combines air conditioning units capable of both heating and cooling with a fireplace, giving redundancy across seasons. The living and dining area receives direct light from the south-facing terraces, and the two terraces extend the usable floor area outdoors for most of the year. Structural and communal aspects deserve attention: the building itself dates from 1986, and the exterior façade renovation scheduled for autumn has reportedly been fully financed by the community. Buyers should verify this financing arrangement and the planned works timeline through the community minutes during due diligence. They should also confirm the registered living area, as the listed figure of 99 m² differs from the approximate 113 m² cited in some marketing material. The complex offers a large outdoor pool and an indoor pool, both communal facilities rather than private.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €369,000, this is not a from-price for a development with multiple units. For that amount, the buyer acquires 99 m² of living area with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two south-facing terraces, sea views, air conditioning, a fireplace and access to both an outdoor and an indoor communal pool. The property is key-ready, so no construction waiting period applies. As context within the region, comparable new-build projects start at €205,000 in Mijas, €269,000 in Estepona and €269,950 in Torre del Mar, though those are base prices for different products in different locations. The province records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year.
Calahonda is one of the established residential urbanisations along the Mijas Costa, built up over decades into a densely serviced coastal neighbourhood. Daily life here does not depend on a car: the nearest supermarket is under 600 metres away, a pharmacy slightly further, and the surrounding streets hold a dense concentration of amenities, 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks and 7 pharmacies within a two-kilometre radius. The apartment sits within a maintained complex that offers both a large outdoor pool for summer and an indoor pool for the cooler months, an arrangement that extends the swimming season well beyond what the sea alone allows. The water along this coast stays at or above 20°C for about five months of the year. The south-facing orientation means the two terraces receive sun throughout the day, with the lounge terrace positioned for evening light over the sea. Golf and racquet sports sit within walking distance, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are each about 600 metres away, and Cabopino Golf lies roughly two kilometres away. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, is about one kilometre as the crow flies, reachable in roughly five minutes by car. The surrounding urbanisation is residential rather than touristic in character, though the presence of ten hotels with just over 2,100 beds indicates a seasonal visitor flow. Outside the summer months the area quiets considerably while retaining its core services.
Life in this part of Calahonda revolves around short distances. The supermarket at 592 metres and the pharmacy at 615 metres cover daily basics within a few minutes on foot. Restaurants, cafés and bars cluster along the nearby commercial streets, with 38 restaurants and 15 cafés within two kilometres. Health care is split between local provision, two health centres serve the area, with a hospital 9.5 kilometres away, and dental care within the immediate radius. Education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the surrounding area, and the English International College sits 7 kilometres away. For recreation, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are each about 600 metres from the property, and Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 kilometres away, offering a harbour setting with waterfront dining. The elevation of 55 metres above sea level combined with the 5.5% gradient toward the beach means the return walk from the coast involves a steady but moderate incline. An electric-vehicle charging point 568 metres away supports car-based mobility for those who own one.
The map shows the apartment's position within Sitio de Calahonda on the Mijas Costa, roughly one kilometre inland from the beach line.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies the central stretch of the Mijas Costa, between Fuengirola to the east and Marbella to the west. Marbella is roughly 15 minutes away by car, giving residents access to its old town, shopping and services without living in the middle of them. Málaga and its airport sit about 30 minutes east via the AP-7, while the smaller airport at Gibraltar is an alternative roughly an hour west. This central position places the apartment within reach of both the western Costa del Sol, Estepona and beyond, and the eastern side toward Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga city, which matters for buyers who want to explore the region rather than stay in one resort town.
The nearest beaches lie within about one kilometre as the crow flies: Playa de Mijas at 851 metres, La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 metres and Playa de Calahonda at 906 metres, translating to roughly five minutes by car given the gradient. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is 28 kilometres away in a straight line, approximately 30 minutes by car via the Calahonda motorway connection, and Gibraltar airport is 68 kilometres away. The AP-7 motorway runs nearby, linking the area to Marbella in roughly 15 minutes by car and to Fuengirola and Málaga further along the coast. Public transport consists of four bus lines with 50 stops in the area, sufficient for coastal trips without a car, though a vehicle widens access considerably. Golf courses sit close by: Cabopino Golf at 1.9 kilometres, El Soto Golf at 3.7 kilometres and a Par 3 course at 4.3 kilometres, all measured as the crow flies.

The location stands 55 metres above sea level on a moderate slope facing the Mediterranean. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, and sea water stays at or above 20°C for about five months, defining a swimming season that runs from late spring into early autumn, extendable year-round through the complex's indoor pool. The south-facing orientation maximises sun exposure on the two terraces, which is significant in winter months when direct sunlight raises outdoor comfort considerably. Green surroundings are present in the form of nearby golf courses and forest areas, and the La Cala de Mijas viewpoint 3.9 kilometres away offers walking destinations with coastal views. Rainfall along this stretch of the Costa del Sol is low and concentrated outside summer, so terrace use and outdoor living are realistic for most of the year.

Several beaches lie within roughly one kilometre straight-line distance, including Playa de Calahonda, Playa de Mijas and La Luna-Royale Beach. The wider province records six Blue Flag beaches, including Torrenueva nearby, indicating maintained water quality and services along this coast. Golf forms the second recreational pillar: three courses, Cabopino Golf, El Soto Golf and a Par 3 course, sit within 4.3 kilometres, and La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are each about 600 metres away as sports centres. Puerto Cabopino marina, 2.3 kilometres away, provides mooring, waterfront restaurants and a sheltered anchorage. Tennis and padel facilities are within walking distance of the complex. Within the complex itself, the outdoor pool serves the warm months and the indoor pool keeps swimming available year-round, a facility combination not every coastal development offers.
