This key-ready apartment is located in Calahonda, in the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 133 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and carries a fixed asking price of €349,000. Built in 2007 and sold fully furnished, it features a south-facing enclosed terrace with sea and panoramic views, hot and cold air conditioning, a lift, underground parking, and access to a communal pool and garden. The nearest beach lies approximately 1 km away as the crow flies, and several golf clubs are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda sits on the Mijas coast between Fuengirola and Marbella, roughly 15 km from Marbella and 37 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The apartment stands in an established urbanisation with 38 restaurants, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and 15 cafés within 2 km. The beach at Playa de Calahonda is about 1 km away in a direct line, with a moderate gradient of 5.5% on the route down.
The home is configured for year-round coastal living: three bedrooms including one with an ensuite bathroom, a separate utility room, fitted wardrobes, and a glass-enclosed south-facing terrace usable across seasons. Hot and cold air conditioning regulates the indoor climate, while the communal pool and garden cover outdoor leisure needs. Underground parking removes the search for a space after daily errands.
This is a resale property, not a new-build development. Construction was completed in 2007, and the apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The completion year is given as an indicative detail. No construction phases, price-list updates or delivery schedules apply; the transaction concerns an existing home sold fully furnished in what is described as excellent condition.
The property has no private pool and no private garden; both are communal facilities shared with other residents. No private garage as such is listed, only an underground parking space. There is no mention of a storage room beyond the utility room, and the building dates from 2007, so installations are nearly two decades old. No plot size or land ownership is involved, as this is an apartment within a community.
This property fits a buyer who wants an immediately usable home rather than an off-plan wait. Situations in which it works well include: a couple or small family seeking a three-bedroom base on the Costa del Sol where schools matter, as 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools serve the area and the English International College sits 7 km away; a retiree or part-year resident who values a lift, underground parking and a terrace usable in every season; and an investor looking at rental potential in an area with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year and a tourism base of 10 hotels with over 2,100 beds. The ensuite bedroom and communal pool support holiday letting, while the fully furnished condition lowers the barrier to letting the property out or moving in directly. It suits buyers who accept communal rather than private outdoor space, and who see the value in a built 2007 apartment with proven infrastructure around it. It fits less well for buyers wanting a detached villa, a private pool or a brand-new build with modern energy performance; those needs point towards different segments of the market. A car is advisable: although 50 public transport stops and four lines exist locally, distances to Marbella (15 km) and Málaga (37 km) make driving the practical norm.
The apartment is described as being in excellent condition and is delivered fully furnished, which removes a common renovation task from the purchase. The kitchen is fully fitted, with wooden cabinetry visible in the listing photographs, and the living areas are finished with tiled floors typical of Spanish coastal construction from the 2007 period. The standout technical feature is the terrace enclosure: a glass curtain system that converts the terrace into a semi-indoor space, retaining heat in winter and blocking wind while keeping the sea view. Climate control is present in the form of both hot and cold air conditioning, allowing year-round temperature regulation. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, giving two full bathrooms in total. A utility room separates laundry work from the living space. The building has a lift, which matters both for daily convenience and for long-term accessibility, and the property includes underground parking, a practical advantage in a dense urbanisation where street parking is not guaranteed. As a 2007 construction, the building predates current energy-efficiency standards; buyers with a strong focus on insulation values or heat-pump technology should verify the exact installation details during a viewing. What is documented are the fixtures and fittings listed: communal pool and garden, covered and private terrace elements, sea and panoramic views, and the furniture inventory included in the sale.
The apartment is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €349,000; this is not a from-price and no price list applies. For context, new-build comparables in the wider region start lower in some cases, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, while Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €321,000. Those figures concern new construction, whereas this price covers a completed, fully furnished 2007 resale property of 133 m² with parking, communal facilities and an enclosed terrace. At roughly €2,624 per square metre, the asking price reflects the sea views and the key-ready condition rather than off-plan pricing.
Daily life in this apartment centres on an established residential urbanisation that functions year-round rather than only in summer. The living and dining area opens onto the kitchen and connects to the terrace, which is enclosed with a glass curtain system; this means the terrace remains usable in winter and spring, extending the effective living space beyond the nominal 133 m². The south-facing orientation brings sunlight through the middle of the day, and the sea and panoramic views are a constant backdrop from the main rooms. A practical rhythm here looks like mornings on the terrace, a short drive or downhill walk of about 1 km to Playa de Calahonda, and evenings within an area that counts 38 restaurants and 15 cafés within a 2 km radius. Golf plays a visible role in the local routine: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both about 0.6 km away, and Cabopino golf lies 2.1 km from the door. The gradient towards the sea is moderate at 5.5%, so the return walk uphill is noticeable but not strenuous for most people. The apartment itself is arranged around three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of them ensuite, which supports both family use and hosting guests. A utility room and fitted wardrobes handle storage, and the lift and underground parking make the building practical for daily shopping trips and older residents alike. With four public transport lines and 50 stops in the area, some errands are possible without a car, though a vehicle expands access to Marbella and Málaga considerably.
The immediate surroundings are those of a mature coastal urbanisation with a full daily-service layer. Within 2 km there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and a dentist, so routine errands, a pharmacy run, a bank visit, a coffee, do not require a longer trip. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area, and education by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, plus the English International College at 7 km for international curricula. Sports facilities cluster unusually close: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol both lie 0.6 km away, with Finca Naundrup at 1.0 km. This density of amenities indicates that Calahonda is not a seasonal resort that empties in winter; the transaction volume of about 3,800 homes per year and the permanent-service infrastructure point to a settled residential population. The pace of life is that of a low-rise urbanisation: quieter than a town centre, but not isolated, with the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas 3.9 km away offering a pleasant walking destination. Tourism exists, 10 hotels with 2,131 beds, but is spread across the area rather than concentrated at the doorstep.
The map shows the apartment's position on the Calahonda hillside, roughly 1 km from the beach as the crow flies, with golf clubs clustered to the immediate vicinity and Marbella to the west along the coast road. Puerto Cabopino and its marina are a short distance south-east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies a mid-position on the western Costa del Sol, between the large urban area of Málaga (37 km) and the established resort city of Marbella (15 km), both measured in straight lines. This places the apartment within reach of two major employment, culture and service centres while remaining in a lower-density residential setting. The municipality of Mijas, to which Calahonda belongs, is one of the coast's most active housing markets, and the property sits closer to Marbella's sphere of influence than to Málaga's, relevant for buyers weighing school choice, marina visits or hospital access. Algeciras, at 77 km, marks the southern edge of practical reach.
Distances are given as straight-line measurements, and actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies 1.0 km away, with alternative beaches at La Luna-Royale (1.1 km) and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera (1.3 km). The marina at Puerto Cabopino is 2.3 km away, and Cabopino golf 2.1 km, with El Soto Golf at 3.6 km and a Par 3 course at 4.1 km. Regionally, Marbella is 15 km away and Málaga 37 km as the crow flies; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 28 km in a direct line, making flights accessible by car within a moderate drive. Gibraltar Airport is about 68 km away. Public transport consists of four lines serving 50 stops in the area, sufficient for local trips along the coast, though a car remains the practical mode for Marbella, Málaga and the airport. The moderate 5.5% gradient towards the sea is manageable on foot for most residents.

Calahonda lies at a low elevation of 55 metres above sea level, so no significant climbs separate the urbanisation from the coast. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, and the swimming season, when sea water reaches at least 20°C, lasts around five months, roughly May through September or October. This supports regular beach and pool use over a long stretch of the year, while the glass-enclosed terrace extends comfortable outdoor sitting into the cooler months. The south-facing orientation of the apartment maximises exposure to the Andalusian sun, which the region enjoys for most of the year. The surrounding landscape combines a developed coastline with nearby green zones around the golf courses and the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas at 3.9 km; the area is built-up rather than rural, and nature experiences here are of the coastal-and-golf type rather than mountain hiking. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, in line with the regional pattern.

Beach access is a defining feature of this location. Three beaches lie within 1.3 km in a direct line: Playa de Calahonda, La Luna-Royale and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera. The wider province holds six Blue Flag beaches, including Torrenueva nearby, indicating consistently high water quality along this stretch of coast. Recreation beyond the sand is strongly golf-oriented: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol at 0.6 km, Cabopino golf at 2.1 km, El Soto Golf at 3.6 km and a Par 3 course at 4.1 km provide varied options within a short radius. The marina at Puerto Cabopino, 2.3 km away, adds waterfront dining and boat-oriented leisure. Sports centres such as Finca Naundrup (1.0 km) broaden the offering, and the local calendar includes 32 public holidays per year, many marked by Andalusian festivities and processions that give the area a lived-in cultural rhythm rather than a purely tourist one.

Against new-build alternatives in the region, this resale apartment occupies a distinct position. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, both lower entry points, but both involve off-plan or new construction purchases, with waiting times, phased payments and, in Torre del Mar's case, a location on the eastern Costa del Sol, roughly an hour's drive further from Marbella. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €321,000, closer in price, though Estepona lies west of Marbella, further from Málaga airport. At €349,000 fixed for 133 m², about €2,624 per square metre, this Calahonda property offers more space per euro than typical new-build apartments on the central coast, and it is available immediately with no construction risk. The trade-off is age: a 2007 building carries older installations than 2024-2025 construction, and the buyer acquires communal rather than private outdoor facilities. Locationally, Calahonda sits between Fuengirola and Marbella, closer to Marbella's amenity base (15 km) than most new-build zones, with an unusually dense cluster of golf clubs within a kilometre. For buyers weighing the Mediterranean lifestyle question, sun, sea views, terrace living and golf, this property delivers the established version of that package, while the comparables deliver the off-plan version. Roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the local market indicate steady liquidity, relevant for anyone considering later resale or rental use.
