Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The property sits in an established urbanisation in central Calahonda, at roughly 55 metres above sea level. Shops, a supermarket (592 m), pharmacy (600 m) and an electric vehicle charging point (568 m) are within walking distance. The beach lies about one kilometre away with a moderate 5.5% gradient along the route. The area is urban in character with year-round residential activity rather than a purely seasonal resort setting.

Layout

The house is configured as a conventional family townhouse: an open-plan living and dining area with fitted kitchen and guest WC on the ground floor, and three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes upstairs, one with an ensuite bathroom. A private terrace and communal pool cover outdoor needs. Central air conditioning is installed. There is a utility room. The property is sold unfurnished.

Project Status

This is not a new-build development. The townhouse was completed in 2002 (indicative) and is described as being in good condition. Buyers should expect a construction of that period rather than current building regulations or finishes. No developer guarantees or staged payment plans apply; the transaction follows the resale market process. Any modernisation needs would be assessed through a standard structural and technical survey.

Points of Attention

The property offers a communal pool only, there is no private pool. It is a terraced (end-of-terrace) house, so garden space is communal rather than private freehold land. The property is sold unfurnished. Parking is not listed among the features. Built in 2002, the property predates current energy-efficiency standards, and no energy label is recorded in the available data. Views are limited to garden, pool and courtyard aspects.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the coast who want three double bedrooms, walkable schools access and a pool without private-pool maintenance will find the layout and communal facilities aligned with those needs. Buyers seeking a lock-and-leave second home benefit from the gated community structure, low-maintenance communal gardens and the fact that daily amenities are within walking distance, so the house works for short stays without provisioning a car. Those planning a permanent residence will note the year-round character of Calahonda: the density of health centres, schools and services indicates a non-seasonal population. Buyers prioritising rental potential may value the terrace-pool access and beach proximity, though returns should be verified against local rental data. Conversely, buyers wanting a private pool, panoramic sea views, contemporary energy performance or new-build warranties should note that none of these apply here. The west orientation suits households whose outdoor use concentrates in the afternoon and evening; those wanting morning sun on the main terrace would find the orientation less favourable. Households reliant solely on public transport can manage locally but will find regional mobility easier with a car, particularly for hospital visits at 9.5 km or trips to Marbella and Fuengirola.

Build Quality & Finishing

The property dates from 2002 (indicative) and is recorded as being in good condition. Photographs show a fitted kitchen with wooden cabinetry and natural light from window positions. The kitchen is described as fully fitted, so appliances and worktops are in place. All three bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the ensuite arrangement on the upper floor indicates a layout designed for family use rather than minimum-spec letting. Climate control is by a central air conditioning system serving the whole house, which is a more integrated solution than individual split units, though servicing history should be verified. Technical elements worth survey attention for a property of this age include: the boiler/hot water system, electrical installation against current norms, window glazing and seals, and terrace waterproofing, particularly relevant given the large private terrace directly adjoining the living area. No energy performance certificate is recorded in the available data; a 2002 build will typically predate the insulation standards of current regulations, so heating and cooling running costs should be estimated realistically. The communal elements, landscaped gardens, pool and gated access, are managed collectively, and the monthly community fee and reserve fund status should be requested. Furniture is not included, so the purchase price should be considered alongside furnishing costs.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The asking price is €540,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom end-of-terrace townhouse of 123 m² built, equating to roughly €4,390 per square metre. This positions the property above nearby new-build alternatives such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), with the differential reflecting the established location, plot maturity and walkable position rather than construction age. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and resale. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) and, given the 2002 construction, potentially for modernisation works identified in survey.

Context & Surroundings

Daily life here centres on walkability. The supermarket, pharmacy, banks and a substantial cluster of restaurants and cafés, 38 restaurants and 15 cafés within a two-kilometre radius, are reachable on foot, which reduces dependence on a car for routine errands. The morning pattern might involve a short walk for groceries or coffee, with the beach about a kilometre away for walks or swimming. The house itself is arranged around its terrace: west-facing, it receives afternoon and evening sun, which suits outdoor dining during the long summer evenings given the region's roughly 3,889 hours of annual sunshine. Access to the communal pool and gardens is direct from the terrace, so supervision of children or simple pool access involves no street crossing. Upstairs, the three double bedrooms share two bathrooms, one of them ensuite, which reduces morning congestion for a family or for guests. The utility room handles laundry and storage separately from the living space. The urbanisation is gated, which structures comings and goings around a controlled entrance. Outside the peak summer months, Calahonda remains residential in character: the school provision in the wider area (15 primary and 10 secondary schools) and two health centres indicate a year-round population rather than a purely seasonal one. Public transport exists, four lines and roughly 50 stops in the area, and covers the coastal corridor, though a car remains practical for reaching Marbella, Fuengirola or the hospital 9.5 km away.

Request Information

Location: Calahonda

Living & Surroundings

Calahonda sits on the coastal strip of Mijas municipality, between La Cala de Mijas (about 4 km northeast, with its viewpoint and weekly market) and Cabopino to the southwest, whose marina at 2.3 km offers mooring-side restaurants and a quieter beach. The immediate two-kilometre radius contains 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks, 7 pharmacies and a dentist, which makes the everyday service layer unusually dense for a settlement of this size. Health provision includes two health centres locally, with hospital care at 9.5 km. Educational options span 15 primary and 10 secondary schools in the area, with the English International College at 7 km for families seeking a British curriculum. Sports facilities cluster close by: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sports centre are each 0.6 km away, and Cabopino Golf is under 2 km. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, 10 hotels and about 2,131 beds, meaning the area receives visitors but is not dominated by hotel districts. The elevation of 55 metres and 5.5% slope to the beach describe gentle terrain rather than the steep hillside urbanisations found elsewhere in Mijas.

Map & Location

The map shows the property's position in central Calahonda: the supermarket and pharmacy cluster immediately around it, the beach line roughly one kilometre to the south, and golf facilities at Cabopino to the southwest. Puerto Cabopino marina and La Cala de Mijas bookend the local area along the coastal road, with Malaga airport visible 28 km to the northeast.

Location in the Region

Calahonda occupies a mid-coast position within Mijas municipality, roughly between Fuengirola and Marbella. This placement gives access to both town centres, Fuengirola to the northeast with its rail connection, Marbella to the southwest, within a 20–25 minute drive in normal conditions. La Cala de Mijas, at under 4 km, functions as the nearest village-scale centre. The immediate surroundings are residential rather than resort-dominated, supported by schools, health centres and year-round commerce, which distinguishes Calahonda from more seasonal enclaves along the same coastline.

Accessibility & Amenities

Beaches: Playa de Mijas at 851 m, La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 m and Playa de Calahonda at roughly 1 km, all walkable within 12–15 minutes. Golf: Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km, El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km. Airport: Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at 28 km straight-line, typically a 30–40 minute drive depending on traffic. Gibraltar airport (GIB) is 68 km away as a secondary option. Daily services: supermarket 592 m, pharmacy 600 m, EV charging point 568 m. Hospital: 9.5 km. Puerto Cabopino marina: 2.3 km. Public transport covers the coastal corridor with four lines and around 50 stops in the area.

Nature & Climate

A swimming pool with clear blue water and a turtle swimming in it.

The historical data for this stretch of coast records approximately 3,889 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, which together describe a climate supporting outdoor use of the terrace for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, runs around five months, so sea swimming is realistic from late spring into autumn, while the pool extends the season further. The property sits at 55 metres above sea level, low enough that the walk to the beach involves a moderate 5.5% gradient rather than a climb. The west orientation of the main terrace means the strongest sun arrives in the afternoon and evening, which pairs with the region's dining culture but should be weighed by anyone sensitive to late-day heat in July and August, when central air conditioning becomes the principal response.

Beaches & Recreation

Three beaches lie within roughly a kilometre: Playa de Mijas, La Luna-Royale Beach and Playa de Calahonda. The wider coastline of the province holds Blue Flag beaches including Del Cañon-La Pelá, La Guardia, Playa Granada, Salobreña and Torrenueva, indicating generally strong water quality and services along this shore. Golf is a defining recreational asset here: Cabopino Golf at 1.9 km is the nearest 18-hole option, with El Soto Golf at 3.7 km and a Par 3 course at 4.3 km for shorter rounds. Padel and racquet facilities are available at Club del Sol (0.6 km), and La Siesta Golf Club, also 0.6 km away, combines a course with social amenities. Puerto Cabopino marina (2.3 km) adds mooring-side dining and a sheltered beach cove.

Summary

  • End-of-terrace townhouse of 123 m² with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, asking €540,000
  • Roughly one kilometre from Playa de Calahonda, with supermarket and pharmacy under 600 m away
  • Large private west-facing terrace with direct access to communal gardens and swimming pool
  • Gated community setting in year-round residential Calahonda, between Fuengirola and Marbella
  • Completed in 2002 (indicative), in good condition; sold unfurnished with no private pool

Regional Comparison

Against comparable projects in the region, this townhouse occupies a different segment of the market. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, all new-build developments at significantly lower entry prices. The €540,000 asking price here, roughly €4,390/m², reflects three factors those developments cannot immediately offer: an established, mature urbanisation; a walkable position where supermarket, pharmacy, cafés and restaurants sit within a few hundred metres; and immediate availability without a build period or delivery risk. What buyers trade away is construction age, 2002 versus current building codes, and modern energy performance, which will show in running costs for heating and cooling. Locationally, Calahonda differs from Torre del Mar (a more Spanish, less international market further from Malaga airport's western catchment) and from Estepona's western Costa del Sol, which lies further from the airport. Calahonda's mid-coast position, 28 km from AGP with Marbella and Fuengirola both within easy reach, is one of its structural advantages, alongside golf (Cabopino at 1.9 km), the marina at Cabopino and the year-round service density of a settled residential population. Buyers comparing options should therefore weigh a turnkey, walkable resale in a mature setting against cheaper, newer construction with less immediate amenity access. Both models carry merit depending on priority; neither substitutes for the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

The property was built in 2002, what does that mean practically?
It is a resale, not a new build. There are no developer warranties, and construction predates current energy-efficiency standards. A technical survey should check the electrical installation, boiler, glazing and terrace waterproofing.
Is a car necessary here?
Not for daily needs. Supermarket (592 m), pharmacy (600 m) and restaurants are within walking distance, and the beach is about one kilometre away. A car remains practical for the hospital (9.5 km), Marbella and Fuengirola. Four bus lines serve the coastal corridor.
What climate control and technical features are installed?
Central air conditioning serves the whole house. A utility room is present. The kitchen is fully fitted and all bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. No energy performance certificate is recorded in the available data.
How does the price compare with the wider Costa del Sol market?
At €540,000 for 123 m², the price is around €4,390/m². New-build alternatives in Mijas and Estepona start between €205,000 and €269,000, but those are typically smaller units, off-plan, in less established or less walkable settings. The area recorded roughly 3,800 property transactions.
What communal facilities exist?
A gated community with landscaped communal gardens and a large communal swimming pool, accessible directly from the property's private terrace. There is no private pool. Monthly community fees apply; amounts should be requested.
What additional purchase costs apply?
As a resale, buyers pay transfer tax (ITP), notary and registry fees, plus legal representation. Community fees apply for the pool and gardens. The property is unfurnished, so furnishing is an additional cost.
How does the purchase process work for this property?
It follows the standard Spanish resale process: NIE number, reservation deposit, private purchase contract, notary completion and registry inscription. A lawyer should verify title, community debt certificates and municipal compliance (certificado de habitabilidad and ITE where applicable).
How far are the beach, airport and golf courses?
Nearest beach roughly 1 km (Playa de Calahonda). Malaga airport 28 km straight-line, typically 30–40 minutes by road. Cabopino Golf 1.9 km, El Soto Golf 3.7 km, Par 3 course 4.3 km. Puerto Cabopino marina 2.3 km.
What are the sun and swimming conditions here?
Roughly 3,889 sunshine hours per year and an 18.5°C average temperature. Sea temperatures of 20°C or above last about five months, roughly late May to October. The west-facing terrace receives afternoon and evening sun.
