This key-ready apartment is located in Calahonda, in the Mijas Costa area between Fuengirola and Marbella. Built in 2006, the property offers 143 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite. The home is sold fully furnished and includes a parking space and a storage room. A covered terrace with sea views faces southeast, and the residential complex provides a communal pool and landscaped gardens. The asking price is fixed at €450,000. The nearest beach lies approximately 1 km away as the crow flies, and several golf clubs sit within walking distance.
Set against current new-build offerings on the coast, this Calahonda resale occupies a distinct position. 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, all lower entry points, but all new construction sold from price lists where the final cost depends on unit size, floor level and extras, and where buyers wait for completion. This apartment, by contrast, is a finished, furnished and refurbished asset at a fixed €450,000, which works out to roughly €3,150 per square metre. That figure sits above new-build starting prices because it reflects a 143 m² floor area, considerably larger than typical entry-level new units, plus inclusions that new-build buyers pay separately: furniture, a parking space and a storage room. Location-wise, Calahonda competes with Mijas Costa and Riviera del Sol rather than central Marbella or Estepona. Its strengths are immediacy and service density: 38 restaurants, 15 cafés and 7 pharmacies within 2 km, two golf clubs at 600 metres and Marbella 15 km away. Its trade-offs are the dispersed, car-dependent layout of the urbanisation and a moderate 5.5% slope to the beach. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives are effectively choosing between delivery certainty and finished space today on one side, and newer construction standards and community infrastructure on the other. With roughly 3,800 annual housing transactions in the local market, resale liquidity appears healthy by regional standards.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda sits on the Mijas Costa stretch of the Málaga coastline, roughly 15 km from Marbella and 37 km from Málaga city. The apartment lies in an urbanisation about 1 km from Playa de Calahonda, measured in a straight line, with La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol both within 600 metres. The setting is residential rather than urban, with Marbella and Fuengirola reachable by car along the A-7 and AP-7 corridors.
The layout serves two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 143 m², which is generous for this type on the coast. A separate kitchen with a breakfast bar connects to the dining area, and a covered terrace extends the living space outdoors. Centralised air conditioning, fitted wardrobes and marble floors cover daily comfort needs. A parking space and storage room are included, and the sale is completed furnished.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006 and described as recently refurbished, not a new-build development. Construction is finished and the property is key-ready, meaning no waiting period or delivery risk applies. Buyers inspect the actual finished unit rather than plans or renders. Any future works would be limited to personal adjustments after purchase.
The property has two bedrooms, which limits its suitability for households needing more sleeping space. It is an apartment within a communal development, so there is no private garden or private pool; outdoor swimming is via the communal pool. No lift details, community fees or energy documentation are stated in the available data. Distances to larger towns require car travel, and the 5.5% gradient to the beach involves a moderate slope on foot.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a move-in-ready second home benefits from the furnished sale, the two-bathroom layout and the covered terrace usable across seasons. Buyers relocating permanently to the coast find a practical base with schools, health centres and everyday shopping within a short radius, and Marbella and Fuengirola within commuting distance. Investors evaluating a rental asset can consider the 143 m² floor area, sea views and proximity to golf and beach as lettable characteristics, though rental performance depends on licensing and management outside the scope of this data. The home also suits buyers who want to avoid new-build delivery risk: everything is built, refurbished and inspectable before commitment. Conversely, families needing three or more bedrooms, or buyers wanting a private pool and garden, would face the limits of a two-bedroom apartment in a communal setting. Those who prefer walkable town-centre living should note that Calahonda is a dispersed urbanisation where a car is generally used for most errands, despite 50 public transport stops and 4 bus lines in the area. The moderate 5.5% slope to the beach is manageable for most but worth testing in person for anyone with reduced mobility.
The interior reflects its 2006 construction with a recent refurbishment, described in the source material as being in excellent condition. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of the period that remains durable and cool underfoot in warm months. Centralised air conditioning provides both hot and cold functions, covering climate control across seasons rather than relying on standalone units. Windows are large, and the living room's expansive sliding doors open onto the covered terrace, supporting the bright character noted in the listing and visible in the interior photography, which shows a spacious living room with balcony views, a dining area and a light bedroom. The separate kitchen is fully equipped with ample work surfaces and a breakfast bar open to the dining area, a layout that suits daily use rather than a show kitchen. Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom adds privacy for two occupants. The covered terrace is furnished with an outdoor lounge and dining area, extending the usable living space for much of the year. A parking space and a storage room come with the property, both practical additions in an urbanisation where surface parking can be limited in summer. The complex itself offers a communal pool, a separate children's pool and landscaped gardens, with the source describing maintenance as well kept. As with any resale purchase, an independent technical survey remains a sensible step to verify installation condition beyond the refurbishment claims.
The asking price is fixed at €450,000 for the complete package: the 143 m² apartment, sold fully furnished, plus a parking space and a storage room. This is an existing property with a fixed price, not a new-build price list. At €450,000 the property works out to roughly €3,150 per square metre of living area, before purchase costs and taxes. For context, new-build comparables in the region start lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, though those figures reflect smaller or differently positioned units under construction. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready and completed.
Daily life in this Calahonda apartment follows the rhythm of a residential coastal urbanisation rather than a town centre. Mornings can begin on the covered southeast-facing terrace, where the orientation brings sun from early in the day and sea views over the coastline. The living-dining room opens onto this terrace through wide sliding doors, so indoor and outdoor space function together for most of the year given an average annual temperature of 18.5°C. The separate kitchen with its breakfast bar suits both quick meals and longer cooking sessions, and the two-bathroom layout means the en-suite arrangement works for guests or two adults sharing. Within a 2 km radius the area counts 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies and 9 banks, which covers routine needs without leaving the urbanisation. Two health centres are nearby, and the education offer includes 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area. The nearest beach is about 1 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate 5.5% gradient on the route down, while golf facilities such as La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sit within 600 metres. Puerto Cabopino, at roughly 2.3 km, adds a marina with dining and moored boats for weekend outings. The area leans quiet outside the summer months, with tourism measured at 10 hotels and around 2,131 beds, modest compared with Marbella or Fuengirola, which means fewer seasonal crowds than in the major resort towns.
Calahonda functions as a self-contained residential zone on the Mijas Costa, and the immediate surroundings support everyday life without long journeys. Within 2 km there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and a dentist, giving the urbanisation a full layer of daily services. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area. Education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, while the English International College lies about 7 km away for families seeking international schooling. Sport and leisure sit unusually close: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both roughly 600 metres from the property, Finca Naundrup 1 km, and Cabopino golf 2.1 km. The beach at Playa de Calahonda is about 1 km as the crow flies, with alternative stretches at La Luna-Royale (1.1 km) and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera (1.3 km). Puerto Cabopino marina, at 2.3 km, offers dining and a harbour setting. Public transport consists of 4 lines with 50 stops in the area, which covers local movement, though most residents use a car for convenience.
The map shows the apartment's position within Calahonda's residential fabric, with the coastline about 1 km to the south and the golf clubs of La Siesta and Club del Sol immediately nearby. Marbella lies 15 km west and Málaga 37 km northeast, both measured in a straight line. The markers indicate beaches, schools, golf courses and Puerto Cabopino marina in relation to the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella, both of which anchor the coast's residential and tourist offer. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, lies 15 km to the west; Málaga city, at 37 km, provides the provincial capital's cultural and business infrastructure. Local housing activity is substantial, with around 3,800 transactions per year, indicating a liquid resale market. Compared with the quieter eastern Costa del Sol, this stretch trades tranquillity for proximity to services, golf and two major towns within a short drive.
The property sits roughly 28 km from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport as the crow flies, with Gibraltar Airport an alternative at about 68 km. By road, the coastal A-7 and the tolled AP-7 connect Calahonda westwards to Marbella (15 km straight-line) and Fuengirola, and eastwards to Málaga city (37 km straight-line) and the airport. Distances quoted are straight-line; actual driving distances are longer. Beach access is straightforward: the nearest stretch lies about 1 km away with a moderate 5.5% gradient on foot. Golf is the closest amenity of all, with two clubs within 600 metres. Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 km away. A car remains the practical mode for most journeys, though 4 bus lines with 50 stops provide a public transport fallback along the coast.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol profile: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The elevation of 55 metres above sea level places the apartment above the immediate coastal strip, contributing to the sea views from the terrace while keeping the walk to the beach feasible. The 5.5% gradient to the shore is moderate, noticeable on foot but not steep by local standards, where many coastal urbanisations sit on far more pronounced hillsides. The southeast orientation of the terrace means morning and midday sun, with shade arriving in the late afternoon, a pattern suited to breakfast outdoors and shaded evenings. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers a nearby destination for walks with coastal panoramas.

Beach life centres on the Calahonda stretches: Playa de Calahonda - Calahonda at about 1 km, La Luna-Royale at 1.1 km and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera at 1.3 km, all straight-line distances. The wider region counts six Blue Flag beaches, including Torrenueva, Playa Granada and Salobreña, though the mountain-backed stretches of Granada province lie further along the coast. Golf is the strongest recreational asset here: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both within 600 metres, Cabopino golf at 2.1 km, El Soto Golf at 3.6 km and a Par 3 course at 4.1 km. Sports centres also include Finca Naundrup at 1 km. Puerto Cabopino marina, 2.3 km away, rounds out the offer with harbour-side dining and a sheltered anchorage. For children, the complex includes a dedicated children's pool alongside the main communal pool.
