This two-bedroom corner apartment is located in Calahonda, in the municipality of Mijas, on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2001 and key-ready, the property offers 84 m² of living space with a 30 m² private terrace facing south-east. The asking price is a fixed €319,000. The home has an open-plan kitchen that was recently renewed, air conditioning, fireplaces in the living room and main bedroom, and use of a communal pool and garden. The beach, a shopping centre and everyday amenities are within walking distance, and Marbella lies roughly 15 km away by straight-line measurement.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda sits between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas coast, in an urbanised setting with shops, restaurants and services on foot. Playa de Mijas lies 851 m away as the crow flies, with Playa de Calahonda about 906 m. A supermarket is 592 m away, a pharmacy 600 m, and Málaga Airport 28 km in a direct line.
The apartment is designed for everyday Mediterranean living: a 30 m² terrace for outdoor dining with a built-in barbecue, a renewed open-plan kitchen with appliances, and both bathroom and kitchen with natural light via windows. Two bedrooms and one bathroom suit a couple, a small family or a second-home buyer. Communal pool and garden are included.
This is an existing home completed in 2001 and currently key-ready, so no construction phase or waiting period applies. The condition is described as good to excellent, with a recently renewed kitchen whose appliances come with invoices. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
The community does not permit seasonal rentals, which limits buy-to-let use. The apartment has one bathroom rather than two, and at 84 m² it is compact for a two-bedroom home. There is no private pool, only a communal one. The building dates from 2001, so construction and insulation standards differ from current new-build regulations.
This apartment fits a buyer who wants a finished, walk-in-ready home on the Costa del Sol without off-plan uncertainty. Recognisable situations include: a couple seeking a second home with morning sun on the terrace and the beach within walking distance; a retiree who values having a supermarket at 592 m, a pharmacy at 600 m and an EV charging point at 568 m, reducing car dependence; or a part-year resident who wants year-round infrastructure rather than a seasonal urbanisation, given the density of schools, health centres and permanent services nearby. Golf players benefit from Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km straight-line, El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km, while Puerto Cabopino marina lies 2.3 km away. The property suits buyers who prioritise a large terrace and outdoor living, since the 30 m² terrace with barbecue is the main outdoor space and there is no private garden. It is less suitable for buyers who need two bathrooms, for larger families, or for investors aiming at seasonal tourist rentals, which the community prohibits. Long-term letting or personal use remain possible avenues, subject to the community rules and local regulations. Frequent flyers may value Málaga Airport at 28 km straight-line, reachable by car in roughly 25 minutes according to the seller's description, and Gibraltar Airport lies 68 km in a direct line for UK connections.
The apartment dates from 2001 and is presented in good to excellent condition, with the most significant recent investment in the kitchen: an open-plan renovation with modern appliances, all documented with invoices, which gives the buyer verifiable records of what was installed and when. Both the kitchen and the bathroom have windows, a detail that many apartments in the region lack, as these rooms are often internal. Fireplaces in both the living room and the main bedroom provide supplementary heating for winter months, complementing the air conditioning for summer cooling. The corner position brings windows on two sides, supporting cross-ventilation and natural light throughout the day. The property is sold with some brand-new furniture included, which reduces initial furnishing costs for a second-home buyer. Photographs show a hallway with lift access and a balcony, indicating a multi-storey building with lift service. Outdoor finishing includes a built-in barbecue on the private terrace. Communal areas consist of a swimming pool and garden, shown in the images with mature greenery around the building, and a gated parking area with a controlled entrance. As a 2001 building, buyers should expect construction standards of that period: original pipework, windows and electrical installation may date from the build unless receipts show otherwise, and an independent technical inspection before purchase can establish the actual state of these systems. No energy performance details, plot size or community fee figures were supplied in the available data, so those costs should be requested during due diligence.
The property carries a fixed asking price of €319,000, not a starting price within a range, as this is an existing home rather than a new-build development with a price list. For context, comparable new-build projects in the region start lower on paper: Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those figures typically apply to smaller off-plan units with delivery years away, whereas this apartment is completed, has a renewed kitchen with documented appliances, includes some new furniture, and offers a 30 m² terrace. Availability is immediate; the sale includes use of the gated parking area and communal facilities.
Daily life here is organised around walking distance. The shopping centre, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants of Calahonda are reachable on foot, and the images confirm a beach promenade within a short stroll, Playa de Mijas at 851 m as the crow flies and the nearest stretch of Playa de Calahonda just over 900 m. The gradient to the beach is about 5.5%, described as moderate, meaning the return walk involves a gentle uphill section rather than a flat route. The south-east orientation means the 30 m² terrace receives morning and midday sun, which suits breakfast outside and long lunches, while the built-in barbecue extends use into the evening. The corner position and open views over garden, pool and surrounding countryside give the living spaces daylight from multiple sides. The neighbourhood is urban and, in places, commercial: 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks and 7 pharmacies lie within 2 km. That density indicates a year-round community rather than a purely seasonal resort, supported by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area and two health centres. For exercise, a sports gym is described as a 15-minute walk away, and sports clubs such as La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sit about 600 m away. A car is not strictly necessary for daily errands, though it widens access to Marbella, hospital care at 9.5 km and the airport. Parking is available in the gated communal area.
Calahonda functions as a self-contained coastal urbanisation within Mijas, and the location data suggest a practical, service-rich environment. Within 2 km there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks, 7 pharmacies and a dentist, which means daily needs are met without driving. The nearest supermarket is 592 m away and the pharmacy 600 m, both roughly a seven to ten minute walk. Healthcare runs from local health centres up to a hospital 9.5 km away in a direct line. Education options in the area include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, with the English International College 7.0 km away as a straight-line distance, relevant for families relocating full-time. Tourism presence is moderate, 10 hotels with about 2,131 beds, so the area is not dominated by large resort complexes. Public transport consists of 4 lines with 50 stops, connecting Calahonda along the coastal corridor towards Fuengirola and Marbella, which supports car-free living for commuting or leisure trips. Recreational anchors nearby include La Cala de Mijas viewpoint at 3.9 km and the marina at Puerto Cabopino at 2.3 km. Housing transactions in the area run at about 3,800 per year, indicating an active resale market with regular turnover. The setting is described as town, suburban, commercial and beachside at once, an honest summary of a built-up coastal strip where convenience outweighs tranquillity, and where quiet depends more on the specific position within the community than on the wider area.
The map shows the apartment's position in Calahonda, on the Mijas coast between Fuengirola and Marbella. Markers indicate the three beaches within about 900 m, the supermarket and pharmacy within 600 m, and golf courses at 1.9 to 4.3 km. All distances shown are straight-line measurements; road routes may be longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, 15 km straight-line from Marbella (about 148,000 inhabitants) and 37 km from Málaga city (about 579,000 inhabitants), placing it between the region's two main employment and cultural centres. Algeciras lies 77 km to the south-west. Within Mijas municipality, it forms part of the continuous coastal strip that includes La Cala, Riviera and Calahonda itself, an area with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year. This location suits buyers who want Marbella's dining and shopping within a short drive while living in a more moderately priced segment of the coast.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies about 1.0 km away, with Playa de Mijas at 851 m and La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 m, all within a 10 to 15 minute walk given the moderate 5.5% gradient back up from the shore. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 28 km away in a direct line; the seller describes the drive as roughly 25 minutes, and Marbella as about 10 minutes by car from its 15 km straight-line distance, actual road times vary with traffic.

Calahonda lies at 55 m above sea level, low on the coastal shelf between the sea and the Mijas hills, which explains the moderate gradient towards the beach and the views of forest and open countryside mentioned in the property features. The climate data report an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, consistent with the Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers, and a swimming season of about five months during which sea water holds at 20°C or above, roughly late May to mid-October. This lengthens the usable period for the communal pool and the nearby beaches well beyond the peak summer weeks. The south-east orientation of the apartment means the terrace warms early in the day and is shaded by late afternoon, a pattern many residents prefer for summer, as the hottest hours of the evening sun are avoided. Views towards the forested slopes behind the urbanisation add a green backdrop to the pool and garden outlook. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, as is typical for southern Spain, while the summer months are predominantly dry and sunny. At this low elevation, no part of the walk to the beach is strenuous, though the return leg involves a steady but gentle climb of about 5.5%.

Three beach access points lie within roughly 900 m as the crow flies: Playa de Mijas at 851 m, La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 m and Playa de Calahonda at 906 m, with a coastal promenade visible in the listing photographs. The wider province holds six Blue Flag beaches, including Del Cañon-La Pelá, La Guardia, Playa Granada, Salobreña and Torrenueva, indicating that the regional standard of water quality and services is generally high. For boating and waterfront dining, Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 km away in a direct line, one of the smaller and quieter ports on this coast. Golfers can choose between Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km, El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km, all within a short drive. Sports clubs at 600 m, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol, cover racquet sports and fitness, and a commercial gym is a 15-minute walk according to the seller. For varied days out, La Cala de Mijas with its viewpoint and village atmosphere lies 3.9 km away. Within the community itself, the swimming pool, garden and the apartment's own terrace with built-in barbecue provide immediate recreational space without leaving the grounds.

At a fixed asking price of €319,000, this Calahonda apartment sits above the headline entry prices of the comparable new-build projects in the data set. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those figures, however, are starting prices for off-plan developments, where the final cost of a comparable two-bedroom unit with a large terrace typically lands closer to this asking price, and where delivery may be one to two years away. The fundamental trade-off is certainty and space versus newness: this resale apartment is completed, documented with invoices for the renewed kitchen, and available immediately, while new-build buyers gain current construction and energy standards but take on delivery risk and construction-period payment obligations. Locationally, Calahonda occupies a practical middle ground on the Costa del Sol. Torre del Mar, at the eastern end near Vélez-Málaga, is further from Marbella and the airport; Estepona is west of Marbella, adding travel time to Málaga Airport; and Lantana Residencial in Mijas is the closest geographic competitor, within the same municipality. Calahonda's distinction is the density of walkable services, 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, a supermarket at 592 m and a pharmacy at 600 m, combined with beach access at under a kilometre and three golf courses within 4.3 km. For buyers focused on Marbella proximity, the 15 km straight-line distance to that city is a stronger card than Torre del Mar or Estepona can play at similar price points. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, reflecting a liquid resale market, which matters for future flexibility, particularly given that the community's prohibition on seasonal rentals narrows the investment use to long-term letting or personal occupancy.
