This two-bedroom townhouse is located in the lower part of Calahonda, an established residential area in the municipality of Mijas, between Fuengirola and Marbella. The property, built in 1987 and partially renovated in 2021, offers 100 m² of living space across two floors, plus a private rooftop terrace with sea views. The beach at Playa de Calahonda lies roughly a kilometre away on foot, and the property sits on Calahonda's main commercial street, with a supermarket, pharmacy and numerous restaurants within walking distance. The urbanisation of twenty houses shares a communal pool. Málaga Airport is approximately 28 km away by straight-line distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in a commercial, beachside setting on Calahonda's main street. Shops, supermarkets, banks and cafés are within a 600-metre radius. The nearest beach lies about 850–900 m away, with a moderate 5.5% slope on the walk. Puerto Cabopino marina is roughly 2.3 km away, and four bus lines with around fifty stops serve the wider area.
The house suits buyers seeking a walkable coastal base: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace lounge, a dining area, a partially covered ground-floor terrace, bedroom terraces and a rooftop terrace with sea views. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control. A rental licence is included, and there is potential to add a third bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 1987 and partially renovated in 2021, including new double-glazed sliding doors, mosquito screens and shutters. The condition is recorded as good, recently renovated and recently refurbished. The property is ready for immediate occupation, subject to the usual purchase process.
The property has no private pool; only a communal pool shared among twenty houses. There is no private garden mentioned, and parking is not specified. At 100 m² with two bedrooms, space is moderate rather than expansive. The property lies on a main street, which entails urban surroundings rather than a quiet residential cul-de-sac. No garage, storage room or energy certificate details are listed.

This property aligns with several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance holiday home within walking distance of shops and restaurants will find the layout and location match that use: no garden to maintain, a communal pool, and the beach a ten-minute walk away. A buyer planning seasonal winter residence benefits from the south-west orientation, sun from roughly 10 AM to 8 PM, and double glazing installed in 2021, which improves comfort in cooler months. A buyer prioritising rental income holds an advantage in the rental licence, which the community permits, combined with year-round demand in a locality with substantial tourism infrastructure. A buyer wanting to add value could convert part of the property into a third bedroom with en-suite bathroom, as neighbouring houses have done. Conversely, the property is less aligned with buyers needing a private pool, a private garden, or generous interior space beyond 100 m², or those seeking a quiet, car-free cul-de-sac setting, the main street location and moderate slope to the beach are factual characteristics to weigh.
The construction dates from 1987, which sets the baseline for structure and layout. The 2021 partial renovation addressed several key elements: new sliding doors with double glazing were installed, together with mosquito screens and shutters, a practical combination that improves insulation, privacy and ventilation control. The listing records the condition as good, recently renovated and recently refurbished, with careful maintenance since the works. Interior fittings include a fully equipped kitchen connected to the living space, two modern bathrooms (one with bathtub), built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms, and a fireplace in the lounge. Climate control consists of air conditioning units that provide both hot and cold air, covering heating and cooling needs across seasons. No energy performance certificate details are listed in the available data; buyers should request this document, as it is legally required for resale transactions in Spain. As with any property of this age, a structural survey is a standard due-diligence step, particularly to verify roof terrace waterproofing, electrical installation condition and the age of plumbing. The communal infrastructure, a shared pool for twenty houses, implies comparatively low community running costs relative to larger urbanisations, though buyers should review the community statutes and fee structure.
The asking price is €399,000 for the completed, 100 m² townhouse with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Compared with nearby new-build alternatives, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, this price reflects the established, ready-to-occupy character, the rooftop terrace with sea views, the included rental licence and the walkable location. Furniture is available optionally, in part, and is priced separately. Purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) apply in addition to the asking price.
Daily life here revolves around a compact urban setting where most errands can be done on foot. The front door opens onto Calahonda's main street, where a supermarket sits about 590 m away, a pharmacy 600 m, and some 38 restaurants, 15 cafés and 9 banks within a two-kilometre radius. The rhythm of the area is seasonal: in summer, tourism increases noticeably, the locality counts ten hotels with over 2,000 beds, while the off-season months are quieter, with a residential, international mix of full-time and part-time inhabitants. The ground floor combines a lounge with fireplace and a dining area, both connected to a partially covered terrace, which functions as an outdoor room for much of the year given the south-west orientation and roughly 3,889 hours of annual sunshine. The first floor holds the two bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and terrace access, one with sea views. The rooftop terrace is the property's most spacious outdoor area, oriented for afternoon and evening sun. The communal pool is shared with nineteen neighbouring houses. For buyers considering extended stays, the area supports year-round living: two health centres operate within reach, a hospital lies 9.5 km away, and there are fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools in the wider locality. The English International College is about 7 km away.
Calahonda's lower section functions as a self-contained urban neighbourhood rather than an isolated resort. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data counts 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks and 7 pharmacies, plus a dentist, a density that means daily needs rarely require a car. The El Zoco shopping centre is nearby with a supermarket, pharmacy and post office. Healthcare access includes two health centres in the locality and a hospital 9.5 km away. For sport, the Oxygen Sportsclub with padel courts is within walking distance, and Club del Sol and La Siesta Golf Club are both about 600 m away. Transport runs via four bus lines and roughly fifty stops, including a stop near the property with services towards Marbella and Málaga. An electric vehicle charging point sits 568 m from the property. The area's character shifts with the seasons: summer brings tourist activity from the local hotel stock, while the rest of the year is markedly calmer, with a resident international community. The walk to the beach involves a moderate 5.5% gradient on the return, worth noting for buyers with mobility considerations.
The map shows the property in lower Calahonda, on the main street running parallel to the N-340 coast road. Markers indicate the three beaches within a kilometre, the supermarket and pharmacy in the immediate vicinity, Cabopino marina to the south-west and La Cala de Mijas to the north-east, the two nearest village centres for wider shopping and dining.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies the coastal stretch of Mijas municipality, positioned between Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella to the south-west. It is one of the Costa del Sol's larger residential urbanisations, developed largely from the 1960s onwards, with a mixed permanent and seasonal population. Within this geography, the property lies in the lower, southernmost band of Calahonda, the section closest to the sea and to the commercial street. This distinguishes it from properties higher up the hillside, which generally trade views and quietness for longer access routes to the beach and shops.
Distances are measured as straight-line unless otherwise stated. The nearest beaches, Playa de Mijas, La Luna-Royale and Playa de Calahonda, lie between 850 m and 900 m away, an 8–10 minute walk in practice. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 28 km away, typically a 30–35 minute drive; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is roughly 68 km. Golf options include Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km, El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km. Puerto Cabopino marina is about 2.3 km away. La Cala de Mijas lies 3.9 km along the coast, Marbella roughly 15–20 minutes by car, and Fuengirola a similar distance in the other direction. Supermarkets, pharmacy and banks are all within a kilometre.

The locality sits at approximately 55 m above sea level, on the lower coastal shelf of Mijas municipality. Historical climate data records around 3,889 hours of sunshine per year and a mean annual temperature of 18.5°C, figures consistent with the Costa del Sol's reputation as one of Europe's sunniest coastlines. The swimming season extends to roughly five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, generally from late May into October. The south-west orientation of the house means sun exposure from late morning until sunset, which supports outdoor use of the terraces across most of the year and passive warmth in winter. The terrain slopes gently toward the sea at about 5.5%, meaning the return walk from the beach climbs moderately. Coastal urbanisation dominates the immediate landscape; green spaces are found mainly at the nearby golf courses and along the coastal path toward La Cala de Mijas.

Three beaches fall within a kilometre of the property: Playa de Mijas (851 m), La Luna-Royale Beach (881 m) and Playa de Calahonda (906 m). The wider coastline of Mijas and Marbella includes five Blue Flag beaches, Del Cañon-La Pelá, La Guardia, Playa Granada, Salobreña and Torrenueva, within reach by car. Puerto Cabopino marina, 2.3 km away, offers mooring, waterside dining and a quieter beach setting. Sports facilities are notably close: Club del Sol and La Siesta Golf Club both sit about 600 m away, Finca Naundrup at 1 km, and the Oxygen Sportsclub with padel courts is within walking distance. Golfers can choose between Cabopino Golf (1.9 km), El Soto Golf (3.7 km) and a Par 3 course (4.3 km). For day trips, the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas (3.9 km) and the coastal walking network provide car-free recreation options.

Against the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a distinct segment: an established, resale townhouse in a fully serviced beachside location, rather than an off-plan or new-build apartment. The comparable projects listed are instructive. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950, both considerably lower entry points, but both located further from the beach-centric core that defines Calahonda's lower section, and both involving new construction with waiting periods rather than immediate occupation. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, from €269,000, sits in a faster-growing but less consolidated coastal strip roughly 45 minutes further from Málaga Airport. At €399,000 for 100 m², the Calahonda property prices at approximately €3,990 per square metre, a premium over the new-build comparables per square metre, justified less by finishes than by location fundamentals: beach within a kilometre, a commercial street at the door, a rental licence, and a rooftop terrace with sea views. The locality's market depth is notable, with around 3,800 recorded property transactions in the area, indicating an active resale market and reasonable liquidity. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should consider the trade-off directly: an older building stock with a documented 2021 renovation versus contemporary specifications, energy certificates and developer warranties, against immediate usability and a proven rental location between Fuengirola and Marbella.
