This key-ready townhouse stands in a gated complex on the beachfront of Calahonda, between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The home offers 143 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged over three levels with sea views. Renovated living areas include a modern open-plan kitchen, and the property comes with three terraces, a solarium and a private garage space in the underground car park. The asking price is fixed at €775,000. The complex has a communal pool and garden, and the nearest beach lies roughly one kilometre away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda sits on the coast between Fuengirola and Marbella, in the municipality of Mijas. The townhouse forms part of a gated beachfront complex. A supermarket (592 m), pharmacy (600 m) and EV charging point (568 m) are all within walking distance, and the beach lies about 900 metres away in a straight line. Marbella is 15 km away; Málaga airport 28 km.
The property suits a coastal lifestyle with daily needs within walking or cycling distance. South orientation and terraces on several levels provide sun and sea views throughout the day. Air conditioning is installed, and the kitchen is fully fitted. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 143 m², the layout works for a couple, a small family or as a second residence by the sea.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 1987, now key-ready and available for immediate occupancy. The current owner has renovated the living areas and carried out improvements throughout the property. Delivery of keys can in principle take place directly after completion of the purchase, subject to the usual notary process and documentation.
The property offers two bedrooms rather than three or more, which limits space for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the complex. The building dates from 1987, so the construction and installations are of that era, partially modernised. Furniture is optional and not automatically included. The site sits at 55 metres elevation with a moderate gradient to the beach.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a permanent coastal home will find the walkable neighbourhood, two-bathroom layout and year-round facilities practical for full-time residence. Buyers of a second home or holiday residence benefit from the gated complex, underground parking and lock-up-and-leave character, with Málaga airport 28 km away for frequent flights. Those who prioritise sea views above all else, from multiple levels and terraces rather than a single balcony, will recognise the value of a south-facing beachfront position. Golf players can reach three courses within five kilometres, including La Siesta Golf Club at 600 metres. The home also suits buyers who want a property that requires no renovation work before moving in, as the living areas have already been modernised. It fits less well for larger families needing three or more bedrooms, or for those seeking a private pool and a detached plot. Buyers wanting brand-new construction with developer guarantees should also look elsewhere, as this house dates from 1987. For an investor, the beachfront position and rental demand in Calahonda, roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the wider area indicate an active market, make a seasonal letting scenario plausible, subject to local licensing rules. In short, the property matches the buyer who weighs location and view more heavily than interior square metres.
The townhouse was originally completed in 1987 and has since been partially modernised by its current owner. The renovation work concentrated on the living areas, which now include a modern open-plan kitchen that is fully fitted, integrating cooking, dining and sitting space into one area, a layout typical of more recent Mediterranean interiors rather than the compartmented rooms of the original eighties construction. Improvements have been carried out throughout the property according to the seller's documentation, though buyers should verify the exact scope and age of each intervention during a viewing and technical inspection. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning, relevant for the warmest months when average regional temperatures support a five-month swimming season. The condition of the home is recorded as good. Outdoor space is structured across three terraces plus a solarium, with a covered terrace allowing use outside the driest midday hours. External features of the complex include a communal pool and communal gardens, maintained collectively. Parking is solved privately: an underground space within the gated complex, sheltered from sun and weather. Buyers of a property of this age should pay specific attention to the state of the roof and terraces (a known consideration for solariums in Spanish coastal homes), the electrical installation, plumbing and window frames, and should request any available certificates for recent works. A pre-purchase technical survey is customary and advisable for resale homes from this period, and provides certainty about what has and has not been renewed.
The asking price is fixed at €775,000 for the complete property, including the private garage space in the underground car park. This is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-price; the figure applies to this specific townhouse with its 143 m² of living space, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, three terraces and solarium. Furniture is optional and would be subject to separate negotiation. As with any resale property in Spain, the final purchase price and conditions are agreed between buyer and seller, and additional purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees apply on top of the asking price.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around the sea. The home is oriented to the south and stands in a gated complex directly on the beachfront, meaning the terraces, solarium and main living spaces look out over the Mediterranean. Mornings can begin on a covered terrace with breakfast in view of the water; evenings can end on the solarium as the light fades over the coast. The layout places the open-plan kitchen and living area at the heart of the home, renovated by the current owner in a modern style, with sleeping accommodation and bathrooms arranged around it over three levels. Because the complex is gated with underground parking, arriving home means driving into a private garage and reaching the front door without crossing public roads. The immediate neighbourhood is urban and built-up, with facilities on foot: a supermarket under 600 metres away, a pharmacy at roughly the same distance, and dozens of restaurants, cafés and banks within a two-kilometre radius. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons, lively in summer with holiday visitors, quieter in winter months when the permanent resident population dominates. With 38 restaurants and 15 cafés nearby, eating out requires no car, and the beach is a short stroll of about ten to fifteen minutes downhill, with a moderate 5.5% gradient on the return. For sport, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol lie within 600 metres. This is a home for people who want the sea permanently in view and daily life organised within a compact, walkable radius.
The surroundings of Calahonda combine urban density with direct coastal access. The area intelligence shows 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks and 7 pharmacies within two kilometres, a level of provision that makes daily errands possible entirely on foot or by bicycle. A supermarket lies 592 metres away and a pharmacy 600 metres, both effectively around the corner. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the immediate area, with a hospital 9.5 km away. Families have access to 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, and the English International College lies 7 km away for international education. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, is roughly one kilometre as the crow flies, with Playa de Mijas at 851 metres and La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 metres also within easy reach. Public transport consists of 4 lines with 50 stops in the area, which covers local movement along the coast, though most residents use a car for longer trips. The A-7 and AP-7 motorways connect Calahonda with Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella to the south-west. Tourism is present but contained: 10 hotels with about 2,131 beds, meaning the area does not feel dominated by large-scale resort traffic. The elevation of 55 metres with a moderate 5.5% gradient to the sea makes the walk to the beach manageable but uphill on the way back. Local life is further marked by 32 public holidays per year in the region, reflecting the Spanish calendar of fiestas and observances.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol between Fuengirola and Marbella, within the municipality of Mijas. Marbella lies 15 km to the south-west, Málaga 37 km to the north-east, and the international airport 28 km away. This places the property within the central band of the coast, where the largest concentration of residential tourism and year-round services in the region is found. Compared with villages further inland or east of Málaga, the location trades tranquillity for connectivity: everything from hospitals to international schools sits within a short driving radius.
Accessibility is one of the practical strengths of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies 28 km away in a straight line, with Gibraltar airport an alternative at 68 km, both reachable by motorway. Within the immediate neighbourhood, distances are short: the beach at about 900 metres straight-line, supermarket at 592 metres, pharmacy at 600 metres and an EV charging point at 568 metres. Golfers can reach Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km, El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km, while the marina of Puerto Cabopino lies 2.3 km away for berths and waterfront dining. Larger cities frame the position: Marbella at 15 km with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, and Málaga at 37 km with about 579,000. All distances are straight-line figures; actual road distances are somewhat longer. A car is convenient but not strictly necessary for daily life here, given the walkable amenities and public transport lines; for airport runs, regional trips and winter excursions into the hinterland, most residents keep a vehicle, which the private underground garage accommodates.

The climate data supports an outdoor-oriented life. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, and the swimming season, the period with sea water at 20°C or warmer, lasts five months, roughly from late spring into early autumn. Calahonda lies at 55 metres above sea level on the lower slopes of the coastal shelf, with a moderate 5.5% gradient running down to the beach. This slight elevation is what makes the sea views from the terraces possible: the house sits just high enough to see over the beachfront. The Costa del Sol records over 300 sunshine days in a typical year, which is why the south orientation of this property matters, the main terraces and solarium receive sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon. Nature nearby includes the coastline itself and viewpoints at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, where the original watchtower marks the old fishing village. The combination of mild winters and warm, dry summers means the terraces are usable nearly year-round, though summer afternoons favour the covered terrace and air-conditioned interior.

Beach life here is immediate and varied. Three beaches lie within about a kilometre: Playa de Mijas (851 m), La Luna-Royale Beach (881 m) and Playa de Calahonda (906 m), all straight-line figures from the property. The wider region records six Blue Flag beaches, including Torrenueva nearby, indicating monitored water quality and services on these stretches of coast. For recreation beyond the sand, three golf courses sit within five kilometres, Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km, El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km, plus La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sports facilities at 600 metres. Puerto Cabopino marina, 2.3 km away, adds sailing, waterfront restaurants and a protected dune area behind its beach. The sports centres of Club del Sol and Finca Naundrup (1.0 km) offer tennis and padel options common to the Costa del Sol lifestyle. The tourism footprint of the immediate area, 10 hotels with some 2,131 beds, is modest relative to the residential base, so beaches are busy in July and August but considerably quieter outside peak weeks.

Within its segment, this property competes on position rather than novelty. New-build alternatives along the coast illustrate the price dynamic: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those projects deliver modern construction, developer guarantees and contemporary energy standards, but at those entry prices the units are typically apartments further from the water, and beachfront new-build in central Costa del Sol locations has become scarce and substantially more expensive per square metre. At a fixed €775,000 for 143 m², this townhouse prices at roughly €5,400 per square metre, a figure consistent with direct beachfront stock between Fuengirola and Marbella, where the land value of a first-line position carries significant weight. Compared with Marbella 15 km to the west, Calahonda trades at a clear discount per square metre while remaining within a quarter of an hour's drive of its services and nightlife. Compared with Torre del Mar and eastern developments, it sits closer to the airport and to the densest service corridor of the coast. The wider Mijas area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating active turnover and liquidity for resale properties. The trade-off is age: a 1987 construction with partial renovation against turnkey new builds elsewhere, which buyers should weigh through a technical survey. Median income in the province of €16,450 contextualises the local economy, in which residential tourism forms a major component. For buyers whose priority is an unobstructed sea view from multiple levels with the beach at the end of the street, the resale market, and this property within it, remains the realistic route.
