A fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 94 m² in Conjunto La Cornisa, Calahonda, on the Mijas Costa stretch of the Costa del Sol. The apartment offers 28 m² of terrace across two outdoor spaces, a Bosch-fitted open-plan kitchen and central air conditioning, and is sold fully furnished. The south-facing main terrace receives sun throughout the day and overlooks the Mediterranean. The community dates from 1988 and includes a communal pool, gardens and an on-site restaurant. The asking price is fixed at €419,000. The nearest beach lies roughly 1 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda sits between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas Costa, at roughly 55 metres above sea level with a moderate 5.5% gradient towards the beach. The beach at Playa de Calahonda is about 1 km away in a straight line. Marbella lies 15 km distant and Málaga 37 km, both measured directly; road distances are longer. The urbanisation sits within an established residential area with shops, restaurants and services close by.
The layout serves permanent residence, extended winter stays or regular visits throughout the year. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an en-suite master facing the sea, and a second bedroom opening onto its own mountain-facing terrace provide flexibility for guests or a home office. Central air conditioning covers cooling, heating and ventilation. Daily needs are met within the urbanisation itself, with 38 restaurants, 7 pharmacies and 9 banks within 2 km.
This is an existing property, not a new-build development. The building was completed in 1988 and the apartment has since been fully renovated. It is key-ready and available for immediate occupation. Renovation works included a contemporary refit with a Bosch-equipped kitchen, central climate control and a fully furnished delivery. Completion dates for onward purchase remain indicative and depend on the notary process.
Short-term letting is not permitted within the community and the property holds no tourist licence, which rules it out as a holiday rental investment. The building dates from 1988 and carries the layout characteristics of that period. There is no private pool; swimming is limited to the communal pool. Community fees amount to €165 per month. The gradient to the beach is moderate, which may matter to walkers.
This apartment fits a buyer who wants a move-in-ready home on the Costa del Sol without undertaking renovation work. The combination of full renovation, furnished delivery and central climate control means the property can be occupied immediately after purchase, which suits buyers planning a permanent relocation or a long winter stay. The two-bathroom layout with an en-suite master works for couples who host guests regularly, and the second bedroom's private terrace makes it usable as a home office for buyers who work remotely. The buyer profile that fits best is one seeking personal use: permanent residence, seasonal living or regular visits. The restriction matters here, short-term letting is not permitted in the community and no tourist licence exists, so anyone purchasing primarily for holiday rental income should look elsewhere. Long-term letting would be a question for the community rules and local regulation rather than something this listing resolves. Buyers who value outdoor space will find the 28 m² of dual-aspect terrace a central feature; those who prioritise a private pool or a modern tower building will not find it here. The 1988 construction and community setting appeal to buyers comfortable with an established urbanisation, mature gardens, on-site restaurant, settled neighbours, rather than a newly built complex. Finally, the location suits drivers. Four bus lines and 50 stops exist, but the moderate 5.5% gradient to the beach and the spread of amenities make a car the practical choice for most residents.
The apartment has undergone a complete renovation with a contemporary design approach, documented in the listing and visible in the photographic material: an induction Bosch cooktop in the kitchen, white wall finishes throughout, and large windows in both bedrooms. The open-plan kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliances and connects directly to the living and dining zone. Interior finishes are described as recently renovated and in excellent condition. Climate control is the strongest technical feature: central air conditioning provides cooling, heating and ventilation across the whole apartment, avoiding the patchwork of individual wall units common in coastal properties of this age. Heating is available separately as hot A/C, and cold A/C covers the summer months; central heating is also listed. The 94 m² interior divides into two bedrooms, two bathrooms and the open living space, with the en-suite bathroom serving the sea-facing master bedroom. The building itself dates from 1988, and its condition depends on community maintenance, which the listing describes as well kept, with lush gardens and a pool area including a children's pool. Buyers should weigh two things independently: the renovation standard of the individual apartment, which is recent and documented, and the age of the communal structure, which is typical for the Mijas Costa building stock of that era. The property is sold fully furnished, which transfers both the furniture and the responsibility for its condition to the buyer at completion. No energy performance data is available in the provided material; buyers should request the existing documentation during due diligence.
The property carries a fixed asking price of €419,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build with a price list, so there is no from-price or unit variation. The price reflects a fully renovated interior with a Bosch kitchen, central air conditioning, two bathrooms and 28 m² of combined terrace space, sold fully furnished. Community fees run at €165 per month, billed at €990 per half year. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives in the region, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, should note that those figures are starting prices for smaller or less finished units, not direct equivalents.
Daily life here revolves around a clear separation between indoor and outdoor living. The 94 m² interior is arranged around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with the Bosch-equipped kitchen connecting directly to the sitting space so that the sea view remains present from most points in the home. The master bedroom faces the sea and has its own bathroom; the second bedroom opens onto a sheltered, mountain-facing terrace and functions as a guest suite or workspace rather than a secondary room. The two terraces together add 28 m². The large south-facing one takes sun from morning to evening and holds space for dining and lounging, while the smaller one offers shade in the afternoon. Because the orientation covers the whole day, the outdoor space stays usable from early spring to late autumn. Within the community, residents use a pool area, mature gardens and a restaurant on site, which reduces the need to leave the grounds for a simple meal. Outside the gates, the urbanisation of Calahonda is a settled residential area rather than a resort strip: 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies and 9 banks within 2 km cover most routine needs, and 15 primary schools plus 10 secondary schools serve the resident population, indicating a year-round community rather than a seasonal one. Two health centres operate in the area. The rhythm of the day is straightforward: mornings on the terrace, a walk or drive to the beach roughly a kilometre away, golf or sports facilities within a short radius, and evenings either at the community restaurant or in nearby La Cala de Mijas, about 3.9 km away as the crow flies. Public transport exists, 4 lines and 50 stops, but the area functions most comfortably with a car.
Calahonda functions as a residential urbanisation rather than a town centre, and daily life reflects that. Within 2 km, the data lists 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and a dentist, enough coverage that routine errands do not require a trip to Fuengirola or Marbella. Education is well represented for a coastal urbanisation: 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools serve the area, and the English International College lies 7 km away in a straight line, relevant for families considering international schooling. Two health centres operate locally. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, sits about 1 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate 5.5% gradient on the walk, manageable for most, though the return trip is uphill. La Luna-Royale Beach (1.1 km) and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera (1.3 km) offer alternatives. Sports facilities cluster close: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol both lie 0.6 km away, with Finca Naundrup at 1.0 km. For evenings out, the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km distant, and the marina at Puerto Cabopino, 2.3 km away, provide the nearest variety. Tourism presence is measured, 10 hotels with 2,131 beds, indicating the area serves residents first. Public transport comprises 4 lines and 50 stops, workable for coastal movement but not a substitute for a car for most households.
The map shows the penthouse within Conjunto La Cornisa in Calahonda, on the Mijas Costa between Fuengirola and Marbella. The beach lies roughly 1 km to the south as the crow flies, with golf clubs, Cabopino marina and the airport at Málaga all within the wider radius shown. Marked distances are straight-line; road routes run longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies the central stretch of Mijas Costa, positioned between Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella 15 km to the south-west, with Málaga city 37 km away. This places the property within reach of both the Marbella lifestyle belt and the provincial capital's cultural and business offer, while sitting in a lower-cost residential pocket than Marbella itself. Algeciras, 77 km away, and Gibraltar beyond it mark the southern reach of the region. The local market records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity, relevant for buyers thinking about eventual exit. Median provincial income of €16,450 frames the regional economy. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, Calahonda is a value-oriented, established location rather than a luxury enclave.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The beach at Playa de Calahonda lies 1.0 km away, with alternative beaches at 1.1 and 1.3 km. Marbella is 15 km distant and Fuengirola reachable by car within roughly fifteen minutes according to the listing; Málaga, at 37 km, anchors the region's metropolitan offer. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 28 km away, making flights straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) lies about 68 km away as a secondary option. Golf access is dense: Cabopino golf at 2.1 km, El Soto Golf at 3.6 km, a Par 3 course at 4.1 km, plus the sports clubs at 0.6 km. Puerto Cabopino marina, 2.3 km away, covers mooring and waterfront dining. Road access runs along the A-7 coastal corridor with the AP-7 toll motorway further inland, though drivers should expect seasonal traffic on the coastal road in summer months. Actual driving distances exceed the straight-line figures given here.

The location sits at 55 metres above sea level, low enough that the walk to the coast stays reasonable while retaining elevated views over the sea and the green valleys behind. The gradient towards the beach measures 5.5%, described as moderate. The regional climate averages 18.5°C across the year, and the swimming season extends to five months with water temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly late May through October in practice. The penthouse orientation matters climatically: the south-facing main terrace takes sun from sunrise to sunset and, in this latitude, remains comfortable for outdoor use from early spring into late autumn. Central air conditioning with heating, cooling and ventilation manages the indoor climate across both temperature extremes. The dual-aspect layout gives shelter options, the mountain-facing terrace off the second bedroom provides shade in the afternoon when the main terrace is at full sun. The hinterland behind Calahonda rises into green valley and mountain country visible from the property, giving walking and cycling terrain within short reach without leaving the urbanisation's immediate surroundings.

Three beaches lie within 1.3 km straight-line of the property: Playa de Calahonda itself at 1.0 km, La Luna-Royale Beach at 1.1 km and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera at 1.3 km. The wider municipal coastline holds six Blue Flag beaches, including Torrenueva, Del Cañon-La Pelá and La Guardia, reflecting the water quality standard along this stretch. For golf and sport, the immediate radius is dense: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol at 0.6 km, Finca Naundrup at 1.0 km, Cabopino golf at 2.1 km, El Soto Golf at 3.6 km and a Par 3 course at 4.1 km. Puerto Cabopino marina, 2.3 km away, adds waterfront recreation and dining. The community's own pool area, with a children's pool, covers daily swimming without leaving the grounds. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the nearest coastal promenade town for evening walks. With a five-month swimming season and 18.5°C average temperature, outdoor recreation runs for most of the calendar year rather than a short summer window.

Against comparable new-build projects in the wider region, this penthouse occupies a different position. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all lower entry figures, but all from-prices for new units whose size, finish level and final cost typically rise once options and parking are added. This property's €419,000 fixed price buys a completed, renovated and furnished 94 m² home with 28 m² of terrace, which shifts the comparison from price per entry point to price per delivered specification. Location also differs. Torre del Mar lies east of Málaga on the Costa del Sol's quieter eastern stretch, with cooler winters and a more Spanish domestic market. Estepona sits west, further from Málaga airport and closer to the Gibraltar catchment. Mijas, where Lantana Residencial sits, shares this property's municipal footprint but sits inland at elevation rather than on the coastal strip. Calahonda itself is a mature urbanisation: built out in the 1970s-1990s, established infrastructure, roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year locally, and none of the construction-phase uncertainty that comes with off-plan buying. The trade-off is structural: buyers accept a 1988 building in exchange for immediate delivery, sea views from an elevated top-floor position, and a community with mature gardens and an on-site restaurant. Against Marbella 15 km away, Calahonda trades prestige and price for everyday practicality, the same coastline, the same climate, a materially lower cost base. The regional housing market recorded median provincial income of €16,450, and Calahonda's stock trades primarily in the resale segment, which is where liquidity for eventual resale is likely to be found.
