A detached villa of 416 m² on a 961 m² plot in Calahonda, in the Mijas Costa area between Fuengirola and Marbella. The property was completed in 2020 and is offered key-ready and fully furnished, with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a heated private pool and a standalone 56 m² garage. The beach at Playa de Calahonda lies approximately 1 km away as the crow flies. The asking price is fixed at €1,700,000. According to the seller, the villa has generated a documented rental income of over €100,000 per year for the past four years.
At €1,700,000 for 416 m² of living space on a 961 m² plot, this villa sits at the upper end of the Calahonda market. The most direct comparison in the available data is Lantana Villas, a new-build development in the same district with prices starting from €1,700,000, meaning buyers pay a similar entry level there for newly built construction, whereas this property offers a completed 2020 build with an established rental history, full furnishing and a heated pool already in place. Further west in Estepona, the market opens up at different price points: Acqua Gardens starts from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, though these are apartment-style developments rather than detached villas, so they compete on budget rather than on property type. Within the region as a whole, Calahonda's positioning is practical: it delivers villa-style living with walkable beach access and an unusually dense cluster of golf and sports facilities within 1 km, at lower prices than comparable villas in central Marbella 15 km away. The district's roughly 3,800 annual housing transactions indicate an active resale market, which matters for liquidity. The reported rental yield of over €100,000 per year, if confirmed by documentation, would place the gross return at around 6% of the asking price, a figure buyers should test against actual occupancy records and management costs. Against Marbella itself, the trade-off is straightforward: less prestige and a more residential character, but more space, more plot and a stronger yield case for the same capital outlay.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Calahonda is a residential coastal district within the municipality of Mijas, roughly 15 km from Marbella and 37 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The villa stands about 1 km from Playa de Calahonda, with Puerto Cabopino marina 2.3 km away and Cabopino golf course 2.1 km away. The setting combines sea proximity with nearby forested hills along the A-7 corridor.
The house offers three bedrooms situated on the upper floor, four bathrooms, air conditioning throughout, shutters on both levels, solar panels, a security system and a built-in safe. Outside there is a heated pool, covered terraces facing several directions and a standalone garage of 56 m². The property is sold fully furnished and in move-in condition, which reduces the practical work involved in relocation or immediate rental use.
This is not an off-plan development. The villa was completed in 2020 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home, so buyers can inspect the finished construction and finishes before purchase. No delivery risk or construction-phase waiting period applies. The completion date stated by the seller should be verified during the purchase process.
The property has three bedrooms on 416 m² of living space, which is a relatively low bedroom count for this size; much of the floor area is allocated to living zones. It is a single, specific villa rather than a development with alternative unit types, floor plans or price options. Purchase costs, community fees and tax figures are not stated in the available data and should be requested separately.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol who wants a finished, furnished home without a construction waiting period will find the key-ready status and 2020 build date relevant; there is no off-plan risk and no renovation work implied by the data. A household seeking a second home with extended seasonal use benefits from the heated pool, air conditioning in all rooms and shutters on both floors, which make the house comfortable outside the peak summer months. An investor focused on rental income can assess the property against the reported four-year track record of over €100,000 per year, subject to verification of accounts and of local holiday-let licensing rules, which buyers should confirm independently. The configuration, three bedrooms and four bathrooms across 416 m², suits owners who value generous living space per bedroom rather than a high bedroom count, for example households with visiting guests or owners wanting dedicated office or hobby rooms. The location works for people who want walkable access to the beach and local amenities while remaining within a short drive of Marbella and the airport. It fits less well for buyers who need five or more bedrooms, prefer a managed community with shared facilities, or want a central urban setting, since Calahonda is a residential district where a car is practical for longer trips.
The villa dates from 2020, which places it within the current building-generation standards of the Costa del Sol: modern insulation expectations, contemporary installation technology and current fittings. The interior is documented with an open-plan kitchen including a central island, a fireplace in the living area, fitted wardrobes and glass balustrades on terraces, consistent with the photographic record. Climate control is specified in detail: air conditioning with both hot and cold functions in all rooms, combined with shutters on the ground and upper floors for passive temperature regulation and light control. The presence of solar panels indicates a degree of energy self-generation, which reduces running costs for a property of this size with a heated pool. Security provisions include an integrated alarm system and a built-in safe. The property is sold fully furnished, which in practice means the buyer can assess the actual furniture and equipment during a viewing rather than relying on brochures. The condition is listed as excellent, though this is the seller's classification; an independent technical survey remains advisable for any resale purchase, in particular to check pool installations, solar equipment and the heating system. The standalone garage of 56 m² is a solid construction element that adds storage and parking capacity beyond a standard car port. Finishing levels, floor materials, sanitary ware, joinery, should be evaluated on site, as the available data does not specify brands or suppliers.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,700,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list, so there is a single price rather than a range of unit types. The price reflects the property's position in the upper segment of the Calahonda market: comparable new-build villas at Lantana Villas in the same district start from a similar level. The seller reports rental income of over €100,000 per year over the past four years; prospective buyers should request the underlying rental documentation to verify these figures. Availability is immediate in principle, as the house is key-ready and sold fully furnished, subject to negotiation and the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life in this villa centres on a layout that separates sleeping quarters from living space: all three bedrooms are on the upper floor, while the ground floor holds an open-plan kitchen with a central island and living areas opening onto terraces. The 961 m² plot provides room for sun and shade zones throughout the day, and the heated pool extends swimming use beyond the summer months, which matters given the roughly five-month season with sea water at or above 20°C. Calahonda itself functions as a year-round residential area rather than a purely seasonal resort. Within 2 km there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and 2 health centres, meaning most daily errands can be done locally. For families considering longer stays, there are 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area, and the English International College sits 7 km away. The practical rhythm of the area is car-based for larger trips, Marbella at 15 km and Málaga at 37 km straight-line, but the beach, supermarket and local restaurants are described as within walking distance of the property. The 56 m² standalone garage accommodates multiple vehicles, storage or hobby use, which is a concrete plus for households with equipment, bicycles or a second car. Out of season, the area quiets down noticeably compared with July and August, when tourism in the district, 10 hotels with around 2,131 beds, is at its peak.
Calahonda sits on the Mijas Costa, about 15 km from Marbella and 37 km from Málaga as the crow flies, with road distances correspondingly longer. The immediate surroundings are well served: within 2 km there are 38 restaurants, 15 cafés, 7 pharmacies, 9 banks and a dentist, and two health centres cover primary care needs. The nearest beach, Playa de Calahonda, lies 1 km away in a straight line, with a moderate gradient of about 5.5% on the route down, manageable on foot, but worth noting for the return walk. Sports facilities cluster nearby: La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol are both about 0.6 km away, Cabopino golf is 2.1 km, and the marina at Puerto Cabopino is 2.3 km, offering mooring, waterfront dining and a protected pine-backed beach area. Public transport exists in the form of 4 lines with 50 stops in the area, which covers local movement along the coast, though most residents use a car for commuting and larger shopping trips. The elevation of roughly 55 m above sea level means the villa sits slightly above the shoreline, providing sea views without the steep access roads found higher up the hillside. Forest views are also listed, reflecting the green belt between the urbanisation and the A-7.
The map shows the villa's position in Calahonda, roughly 1 km from the beach and set back from the coast at a modest elevation. Nearby markers include the golf and sports facilities at La Siesta and Club del Sol, the beaches of Calahonda, and Puerto Cabopino marina. Marbella lies 15 km to the west and Málaga 37 km to the north-east, as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calahonda occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol between Fuengirola and Marbella, at 15 km straight-line from the latter and 37 km from Málaga. This places the villa within reach of both the Marbella lifestyle belt, with its dining, beaches and international schools such as the English International College at 7 km, and the provincial capital's airport and cultural offer. The district is one of the established residential zones of Mijas Costa, with a year-round population base rather than a purely seasonal profile, as reflected in its schools, health centres and roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year in the surrounding market.
The beach at Playa de Calahonda is approximately 1 km away as the crow flies, with La Luna-Royale and Riviera beaches at 1.1 and 1.3 km respectively. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is about 28 km away in a straight line, making it a short drive for international travel; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 68 km. Marbella, at 15 km straight-line, is the nearest larger town for shopping, healthcare and dining beyond the local offer. Golfers have three courses within about 4 km, including Cabopino at 2.1 km and El Soto at 3.6 km. Puerto Cabopino marina lies 2.3 km away. A car is the practical mode of transport for most trips; the local bus lines along the coast provide a fallback for daytime travel. The supermarket is described in the listing as a short walk from the property.

The location records an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, typical of the western Costa del Sol, with mild winters and warm summers moderated by the sea. The swimming season extends to about five months with water temperatures at or above 20°C; the villa's heated pool lengthens usable swimming time beyond that window. Elevation is approximately 55 m above sea level with a moderate 5.5% gradient toward the beach, so the property enjoys a slightly raised position without demanding climbs. The listed forest views point to the pine and green zones around Calahonda and Cabopino, which also provide walking routes close to home. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, is a nearby spot for coastal panoramas. In practical terms, this climate profile means outdoor living on the terraces is feasible for most of the year, with shutters and air conditioning covering the warmer and cooler extremes.

Three beaches lie within about 1.3 km of the villa: Playa de Calahonda - Calahonda (1.0 km), La Luna-Royale (1.1 km) and Playa de Calahonda - Riviera (1.3 km). The wider province counts six Blue Flag beaches, including Torrenueva and La Guardia, indicating the general water quality standard along this stretch of coast. For recreation beyond the beach, La Siesta Golf Club and Club del Sol sports centre are both around 0.6 km away, and Cabopino golf course is 2.1 km from the property, an unusually dense cluster of golf and sports options within walking or short driving distance. Puerto Cabopino marina (2.3 km) adds sailing, waterfront restaurants and a family-oriented beach cove. The surrounding pine forest offers shaded walking and cycling routes, complementing the sea-based activities. This combination means a household can alternate between beach days, golf rounds and forest walks without lengthy travel.
