A renovated four-bedroom townhouse of 255 m² in lower Calahonda, Mijas Costa, situated in an established residential community next to La Siesta Golf. The property includes an independent studio with its own bathroom and kitchen, two private gardens, a terrace with sea views, and two private parking spaces in the underground garage. The beach lies within walking distance, at roughly one kilometre as the crow flies, and everyday amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies are around 600 metres away. Built in 2001 and recently renovated, the home is key-ready and offered at a fixed asking price of €690,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The townhouse stands in lower Calahonda, an established urbanisation between Fuengirola and Marbella. La Siesta Golf Club borders the community, and the nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies about one kilometre away in a direct line. A supermarket (592 m), pharmacy (600 m) and EV charging point (568 m) are all within a short walk, while the A-7 and AP-7 connect the area to the wider coast.
The layout serves a range of living arrangements. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms spread over three levels provide space for a family, while the fully equipped independent studio can serve as guest accommodation, a home office or a lettable unit. Two private gardens, a terrace with sea views, air conditioning, a fireplace and two parking spaces cover the practical requirements of year-round coastal living.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2001 and has since been renovated; it is now key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to take into account. The completion date is stated as 2001 and the condition is described as recently renovated.
The property does not offer a private swimming pool; the pool within the community is communal, as are the landscaped gardens. The plot is not private land in the detached-villa sense, since the home forms part of a residential community with shared areas and community rules. There is no underfloor heating or home automation mentioned, and parking, while private, is limited to the two included spaces in the basement garage.

This home fits several recognisable situations. A household that needs four bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, and wants both a family base and a separate space for guests, will find the independent studio a practical solution: it has its own entrance level facilities, bathroom and kitchen, so visitors or adult children can stay independently. Buyers who work remotely may prefer to use the studio as an office, keeping the main house free for family use. Those considering partial rental income can let the studio separately while occupying the main house, although community rules should be checked on this point. The property also suits buyers who want to move in without waiting for construction: it is renovated and key-ready, with no off-plan risk or delivery delays. The location, within walking distance of supermarkets, pharmacies and the beach, suits residents who prefer not to depend on a car for daily errands, while the proximity of the A-7 and AP-7 keeps Marbella, Fuengirola and the airport within practical driving range. Buyers seeking a private pool on their own plot, or a detached villa on private land, would need to look elsewhere, as the pool here is communal and the garden areas form part of a community setting.
The property is described as recently renovated, and the listed features indicate the current technical standard. Climate control combines air conditioning for hot and cold use with a fireplace, which covers both summer cooling and supplementary winter heating. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, and the open-plan living area benefits from high ceilings and large windows that maximise natural light on a south-west and west orientation. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom. The studio has its own fitted kitchen, storage and private bathroom, finished to allow independent use. A modern guest WC integrates a laundry area on the main floor. Externally, the two private gardens are established, with mature citrus trees at the entrance and a barbecue area at the lower level. The staircase with a white balustrade connects the floors, and the basement vestibule provides covered, direct access to the two private parking spaces, a practical feature in an area where street parking can be limited in summer. The communal areas, including the landscaped gardens and the swimming pool, are maintained by the community. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a renovated 2001 building that has been updated in key areas: kitchen, bathrooms, climate systems and flooring. No energy label or specific material certifications are stated in the available data.
The asking price is fixed at €690,000 for the complete property: 255 m² of living area, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, the independent studio, two private gardens, a terrace and two underground parking spaces. As an existing, key-ready home there is no price list or phased availability; the price applies to the single unit as offered. For context, nearby new-build projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas start from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, but those figures concern apartments in off-plan developments rather than a completed townhouse with a studio and included parking. Purchase costs on top of the asking price typically include transfer tax, notary and registry fees.
Daily life in this townhouse follows the rhythm of a consolidated residential area rather than a resort. The main floor centres on an open-plan living and dining room with high ceilings and a fireplace, connected to a private terrace with open views towards the sea. The kitchen and dining area overlook a front garden with orange and lemon trees. In practice, this means meals can move between the interior and the terrace for most of the year, given the local climate of 18.5°C on average and around five months of swimming-season water temperatures. A lower level contains a second private garden laid out for outdoor dining and barbecue use, alongside the independent studio with its own bathroom, kitchen and storage. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a private terrace, while two further bedrooms share a second full bathroom and have balconies over the front garden. From the entrance hall, an internal staircase leads to a private vestibule connected to the underground garage with two spaces. The surrounding urbanisation supplies a communal pool and gardens. Amenities within two kilometres include 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks and 7 pharmacies, so most daily errands can be done on foot or by bicycle.
Calahonda is one of the larger residential urbanisations on the Mijas Costa, positioned between La Cala de Mijas (about 5 minutes by car), Fuengirola (around 12 minutes) and Marbella (roughly 17 minutes). The immediate surroundings are urban with a full range of services: the nearest supermarket is 592 metres away in a direct line, the pharmacy 600 metres and an EV charging point 568 metres. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 9 banks and a dentist. Health care is covered by two health centres nearby, with the hospital at 9.5 kilometres. Education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the area, plus the English International College at 7.0 kilometres. The area is busy in the summer tourist season, 10 hotels with over 2,100 beds stand nearby, and quieter outside it, which affects parking and traffic in July and August. Public transport consists of 4 lines with 50 stops, providing an alternative to the car along the coast road. For sports, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both 0.6 kilometres away, and the Cabopino marina lies 2.3 kilometres from the property.
The map shows the property in lower Calahonda, directly beside La Siesta Golf and within a kilometre of three beaches. Supermarkets, pharmacies and the EV charging point cluster within 600 metres, while the A-7 and AP-7 run just inland, linking Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella to the south-west.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol, roughly 12 minutes by car from Fuengirola, 5 minutes from La Cala de Mijas and 17 minutes from central Marbella. This places the property between the more affordable apartment stock of the Fuengirola, Mijas stretch and the higher-priced Marbella market. Málaga airport is about 25 minutes away by car, and Gibraltar is also within reach for regional flights. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, relevant for future flexibility.
The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, is about one kilometre away as the crow flies, with Playa de Mijas at 851 metres and La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 metres from the location. The walk to the sand involves a moderate gradient of about 5.5%, so the return trip is uphill. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 28 kilometres away in a straight line, roughly a 25-minute drive according to the existing description; Gibraltar airport is around 68 kilometres. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate area: Cabopino Golf at 1.9 to 2.1 kilometres, El Soto Golf at 3.6 to 3.7 kilometres and a Par 3 course at about 4 kilometres. By car, the A-7 coastal road and the AP-7 motorway are directly accessible, connecting Fuengirola, Marbella and Málaga. Within the urbanisation itself, most daily facilities are reachable on foot or by bicycle, which reduces car dependency for routine errands.

The property sits at 55 metres above sea level, low enough to keep the beach walkable while giving the upper floor open views over the surrounding greenery towards the sea. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of approximately five months in which sea water reaches at least 20°C, typically May or June through September or October. Winters are mild, which is why the combination of hot and cold air conditioning plus a fireplace is a practical setup rather than a luxury. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches from late spring to early autumn. The orientation, south-west and west, means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, suited to outdoor dining and sunset use. Nearby natural features include the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas (3.9 km) and the green belt of golf courses surrounding the urbanisation, including La Siesta Golf Club directly adjacent to the community.

Several beaches lie within roughly one kilometre of the property: Playa de Mijas at 851 metres, La Luna-Royale Beach at 881 metres and Playa de Calahonda at 906 metres, all measured in a straight line. Along the Mijas and Marbella coastline there are six Blue Flag beaches in the wider area, including Torrenueva and Del Cañon-La Pelá. Golf is the second recreational pillar: Cabopino Golf (1.9–2.1 km), El Soto Golf (3.6–3.7 km) and a Par 3 course (about 4 km) offer varied options within a few minutes' drive, while La Siesta Golf Club borders the community itself at 0.6 kilometres. The marina at Puerto Cabopino, 2.3 kilometres away, adds restaurants and a small harbour setting. Sports facilities nearby include Club del Sol and Finca Naundrup. The communal swimming pool within the residence covers daily swimming without leaving the community.

Within the Mijas, Calahonda stretch, this property competes mainly in the resale market rather than against new-build developments. Nearby new-build projects illustrate the price difference: Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, but these are typically apartment offerings in off-plan or newly delivered phases, without a studio, two gardens or included underground parking. At €690,000 for 255 m², this townhouse works out at roughly €2,700 per square metre, which is in line with renovated townhouse stock in established Calahonda communities, where land, mature gardens and immediate availability carry weight. Compared with La Cala de Mijas, Calahonda is denser and more service-oriented, with a larger permanent population and more year-round amenities; compared with Marbella, it sits at a visibly lower price level while remaining within a 17-minute drive of the town centre. The area's roughly 3,800 annual housing transactions point to a liquid resale market, which matters for buyers who value future flexibility. Strengths specific to this property include the independent studio, a rarity in this segment, the two parking spaces and the walkable access to both the beach and daily services. Trade-offs to weigh against newer alternatives elsewhere: a 2001 construction date, communal rather than private pool, and summer-season pressure on the surrounding streets.
