This semi-detached townhouse is located in Calahonda, in the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol, roughly halfway between Marbella and Fuengirola. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 128 m² of living space, built in 1984 and available at a fixed asking price of €464,000. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies approximately 1.0 km away as the crow flies. The house is key-ready, sold fully furnished, and includes a private terrace, solarium, private garden and use of a heated communal pool. Tourist rentals are permitted within the community.
Within the wider Málaga province market, this townhouse occupies a different segment from the new-build developments commonly listed alongside it. Projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) are off-plan or recent-construction apartment developments where the quoted price is a starting figure for the smallest unit type. At €464,000 fixed, this Calahonda property costs more than those entry prices, but delivers something they do not at that level: a completed, fully furnished townhouse with three bedrooms, a private garden, a solarium and immediate availability. The comparison therefore depends on buyer priorities. Those seeking new-build energy performance, modern communal facilities and phased payment structures will look to the new developments. Those wanting an immediately usable home or a rental asset, Calahonda's tourist rental permission being a concrete advantage, will find the resale route more direct. Locationally, Calahonda sits between Marbella and Fuengirola, both established high-demand markets, and its beach distance of roughly 1 km is competitive for the Mijas coast, where many properties at similar prices sit further inland. Torre del Mar and Estepona each lie further from Málaga Airport's western catchment, while Lantana in Mijas competes most directly on geography. Calahonda's year-round infrastructure, schools, health centres, banks, supports occupancy outside the summer season, which is a relevant factor for rental yield stability.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda sits on the Mijas coast between Marbella (15 km straight-line) and Fuengirola, with Málaga city 37 km away. The urbanisation has a moderate 5.5% gradient down towards the beach. Restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks are concentrated within about 2 km, and two sports clubs lie within 600 m of the property.
The house is configured for practical coastal living: three bedrooms and two bathrooms, marble flooring, air conditioning (hot and cold), underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a fireplace and fitted wardrobes. Outdoor space includes a covered terrace, a glazed terrace, a solarium and a private garden. Fibre-optic internet and an alarm system are installed.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 1984 and is described as being in good condition and key-ready, meaning it can be occupied immediately after purchase. Buyers should expect the construction standards and layout of a 1980s Spanish townhouse rather than contemporary new-build specifications.
The property has a communal pool rather than a private one, and sea views are partial rather than full. Parking is private but on an urbanisation plot, not a closed garage. The building dates from 1984, so insulation and energy performance will differ from modern new-build standards. The gradient towards the beach is moderate, which affects walking routes.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a key-ready second home will value the fully furnished delivery, the immediate usability and the walking distance to the beach without undertaking a renovation. An investor may note that tourist rentals are explicitly permitted in the community, and that the combination of beach proximity and Calahonda's established demand from British, Scandinavian, German and Dutch visitors supports year-round letting potential. A buyer relocating permanently may find the local school provision, 15 primary and 10 secondary schools, plus the English International College 7 km away, and two health centres relevant. The house may suit less well for buyers wanting a modern new-build with a private pool and full sea views; those requirements are not met here. The moderate gradient to the beach and the 1984 construction date are practical considerations for buyers with limited mobility or a preference for contemporary building standards. Households needing four or more bedrooms will also find the layout restrictive at 128 m².
The interior finish reflects the property's 1980s origin, subsequently upgraded. Marble flooring runs throughout the house, which is a common feature of Spanish townhouses of this era and offers durability and a cool surface in summer. The bathrooms have underfloor heating, a later addition that improves winter comfort. Climate control is layered: hot and cold air conditioning covers the main living spaces, while a fireplace in the living-dining area provides supplementary heating. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms. Security measures include an alarm system and 24/7 CCTV within the urbanisation. The property is sold fully furnished, which simplifies immediate occupancy or rental use, though the style and condition of the furnishings are a matter of personal preference. Connectivity is contemporary, with fibre-optic internet and WiFi installed. Outdoor areas include a covered terrace, a glazed terrace, effectively extending usable living space in cooler months, a private garden, a barbecue area and a rooftop solarium. Buyers should treat the 1984 build date as relevant to insulation levels, window performance and energy efficiency, none of which will match current new-build regulations. A technical survey before purchase is a standard precaution for properties of this age.
The asking price is fixed at €464,000. This covers a three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse of 128 m², delivered fully furnished and key-ready. The price reflects the property's 1984 construction date, its position within an established urbanisation with communal facilities, and its approximately 1 km distance from the beach. Compared with new-build developments in the wider region, which typically start between €205,000 and €321,000 for apartments, this is a mid-market price for a completed, immediately usable townhouse with tourist rental permission. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees).
Calahonda functions as a year-round residential urbanisation rather than a seasonal resort. With around 3,800 housing transactions per year in the wider area, the local market is active, and the mix of 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies and 9 banks within 2 km indicates an established daily-service infrastructure. The presence of 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the vicinity means the area is not exclusively oriented towards holidaymakers. Daily life here typically revolves around the urbanisation itself: mornings may start on the east-facing terrace, with the beach roughly a kilometre away downhill and the return walk uphill given the 5.5% gradient. The covered and glazed terraces extend outdoor use into the cooler months, while the solarium catches midday and afternoon sun on the west and south-west orientation. Two sports centres, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol, both sit about 600 m away, and Puerto Cabopino marina is 2.3 km away for dining and boat-watching. The area receives international tourism, 10 hotels with around 2,131 beds, which supports restaurant opening outside high season but also means the neighbourhood is busier in summer. Four public transport lines with 50 stops reduce, though do not eliminate, car dependency.
Daily amenities are concentrated within a 2 km radius: 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and a dentist, which reduces dependency on larger towns for routine needs. The beach at Playa de Calahonda is roughly 1.0 km away as the crow flies, with La Luna-Royale Beach at 1.1 km and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera at 1.3 km. For sport, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both about 600 m away, with 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, offers dining and mooring facilities. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area. The elevation of 55 m above sea level combined with the 5.5% gradient means the walk to the beach is downhill and the return uphill, a factor for some buyers, though manageable for most. Public transport consists of 4 lines with 50 stops, connecting Calahonda with Fuengirola and Marbella along the coastal corridor.
The map shows the property's position within Calahonda, roughly midway between Marbella and Fuengirola on the Mijas coast. The beach lies about 1 km downhill, with the golf and sports clubs of La Siesta and Club del Sol just beyond. Málaga Airport sits to the east along the coast road.

Calahonda occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, 15 km from Marbella and roughly equidistant from Fuengirola, with Málaga city 37 km to the east. This places the property within a 30-40 minute drive of both the historic centre of Málaga and the Marbella Golden Mile, while retaining the lower price level characteristic of the Mijas coast. The immediate area leans more residential than Marbella's resort districts, supported by its schools, health centres and year-round amenities rather than exclusively by tourism.
By car, the property connects via the A-7 coastal motorway, placing Marbella (15 km straight-line) and Fuengirola in easy reach, and Málaga city at 37 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) lies approximately 28 km away as the crow flies, typically around half an hour's drive depending on traffic. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is roughly 68 km away to the west. Within the immediate area, the beach (1.0 km), sports clubs (0.6 km), golf courses (2.1-4.1 km) and the Cabopino marina (2.3 km) are all short drives or, for the nearer ones, walks. Public transport, 4 lines and 50 stops, runs along the coast, so a car is convenient but not strictly essential for daily life. The English International College is 7 km away, relevant for families considering international schooling.

Calahonda records an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, consistent with the Costa del Sol's mild winter profile. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, running approximately from late May to mid-October. The elevation of 55 m above sea level, combined with the 5.5% gradient towards the shore, gives the urbanisation gentle height above the coastline, enough for partial sea views from the property's solarium without the steep climbs found further inland. The coastline here is backed by the Mijas hills, and the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, marks the scenic coastal path towards that village. Rainfall on this stretch of coast is low and concentrated in the winter half of the year, so outdoor living on the terraces and in the garden is practical for most months.

The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies about 1.0 km away as the crow flies, with two further beaches within 1.3 km. The wider coastline of Mijas and Marbella includes six Blue Flag beaches in the province, among them Torrenueva and Del Cañon-La Pelá, indicating monitored water quality and services. Golf is a defining feature of the area: Cabopino golf is 2.1 km away, El Soto Golf 3.6 km, and a Par 3 course 4.1 km from the property, while La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are within 600 m. Puerto Cabopino marina (2.3 km) offers a sheltered harbour with restaurants and water-based activities. The heated communal pool extends the swimming season beyond the five natural months, and the property's own barbecue area and solarium provide private outdoor recreation.
