A key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment completed in 2024, situated on the second floor of a residential complex at Calanova Golf on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 90 m² of living space with an east-facing orientation, sea, mountain and golf views, and a private terrace. The asking price is fixed at €449,000. The complex includes two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a gym, sauna and steam room. The apartment holds a tourist licence and comes with dedicated off-street parking. The nearest beaches lie roughly 2.8 km away as the crow flies.
Set against comparable new-build projects along the Costa del Sol, this apartment occupies the mid-to-upper segment. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, both noticeably below this property's fixed €449,000 asking price, while Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000. Several factors explain the difference. First, this is a completed, key-ready home rather than an off-plan purchase, removing delivery risk and waiting time. Second, the tourist licence is already granted, which carries concrete value for buyers with rental intentions and is not standard for every new development. Third, the resort-style facility package, two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a full gym, sauna and steam room, exceeds the typical communal pool of entry-level new builds. Against that, the 90 m² living area is modest for the price, at roughly €4,990 per square metre, and buyers prioritising space over facilities may find more square metres per euro in Torre del Mar or Estepona. Location-wise, the Mijas Costa corridor offers a different proposition from Torre del Mar on the eastern Costa del Sol: it sits between Marbella (16 km) and Málaga (35 km), both straight-line, with an established international community, 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the area, and an active resale market of around 3,190 transactions per year. The golf-side setting with three courses within about 3 km is specific to this pocket of Mijas. Buyers weighing this property against cheaper new-build alternatives are effectively trading price per square metre for readiness, licence, facilities and a central western-Costa del Sol position.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits within the Calanova Golf urbanisation between La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda, roughly 35 km from Málaga and 16 km from Marbella in a straight line. The immediate setting is a golf-oriented residential zone at 136 m elevation, with nine restaurants and a café within 2 km. The coast, with its beaches, lies about 2.8 to 2.9 km away by direct distance.
The layout serves two residents comfortably: two bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, an open-plan living area with a contemporary kitchen, and a private terrace oriented east for morning sun. Practical features include fitted wardrobes, double glazing, fibre optic connectivity, air conditioning for both hot and cold use, and a lift serving the second-floor position.
The building was completed in 2024 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. Delivery dates for Spanish projects are customarily indicative, but in this case the construction is already finished. The condition is reported as excellent, and the property comes with a tourist licence already in place.
The property does not offer a private pool; swimming facilities are communal, comprising two outdoor pools and one indoor pool. There is no private garden. The living area of 90 m² is compact relative to some villa alternatives. The east-facing orientation means the terrace receives morning rather than afternoon and evening sun. The location is inland of the coast, so the beach is not within walking distance.
This apartment fits a buyer with a clearly defined use case: a low-maintenance second home on the Costa del Sol that can also generate rental income. The existing tourist licence is the decisive factor here, owners can rent the property to holiday guests legally, which is not automatically possible for every coastal apartment, and this distinguishes it from comparable resales without such a licence. It suits couples or small families who want two bathrooms and an ensuite arrangement within a compact 90 m² footprint, and who value resort-style communal facilities, pools, gym, sauna and steam room, over private land. The lock-up-and-leave character of a second-floor apartment in a managed complex makes it practical for owners who visit several weeks a year rather than living permanently. Golf players benefit most from the location: three courses within roughly 3 km straight-line distance means the daily routine can be built around tee times. The profile fits less well for buyers who want to walk to the beach, who need a large garden or private pool, or who seek year-round afternoon sun on the terrace, since the east orientation limits evening light. A car is necessary for nearly all practical errands, so the property works best for households that factor a vehicle into their plans. For investors, the combination of a 2024 build, tourist licence and established rental demand along the Mijas coast provides the framework for a letting operation, subject to the usual local regulations and community rules.
As a 2024 completion, the apartment reflects current Spanish building standards for the new-build segment. The specification list points to a contemporary finish level: an open-plan layout with a modern fitted kitchen, white fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and an ensuite bathroom serving the main bedroom. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning units covering both heating and cooling, which is the standard solution for this segment and adequate for the regional climate, where the average annual temperature is 17.9°C. Double glazing contributes to insulation and acoustic comfort, and fibre optic connectivity supports remote work and streaming, a practical requirement for a holiday home used for longer stays. The communal parts of the complex are equally part of the build quality story: two outdoor swimming pools, an indoor pool, a gym with cardio equipment, a sauna and a steam room, plus a lift serving all floors and dedicated off-street parking. The condition is described as excellent, consistent with a property that has seen minimal use since completion. Structural and installation details beyond the listed features are not documented in the available data, so buyers should verify specifics such as the energy performance, community fees and the technical state of the climate systems during a viewing or through a technical survey. The images confirm a light interior palette, a balcony with sea view and outdoor furniture, and a modern complex with a pool area set among planted grounds.
This is an existing, completed home with a fixed asking price of €449,000, not a price-list project, so no unit selection or from-pricing applies. The price reflects a 2024 build in key-ready condition with a tourist licence, communal leisure facilities and off-street parking included. At 90 m² of living space, the asking price corresponds to roughly €4,990 per square metre, which is in line with recently built golf-side apartments in the Mijas Costa segment. Transaction activity in the wider area is substantial at around 3,190 housing sales per year, indicating an active resale market. Availability is immediate, as the construction is finished and the property can be transferred without a waiting period.
Daily life at Calanova Golf is shaped by its position on a golf course between the coastal villages of La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda. The setting is residential and quiet, defined by fairways, hillside views towards the sea, and a mix of permanent residents and holiday homeowners. The apartment's east-facing terrace captures morning light, which suits an early breakfast outdoors before the heat of midday; from the afternoon onwards the terrace sits in shade, a practical consideration for anyone who prioritises all-day sunbathing at home. The urbanisation is genuinely car-dependent. The nearest beaches lie around 2.8 to 2.9 km away as the crow flies, so in practice residents drive to the coast in five to ten minutes. Everyday shopping and services concentrate in Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas, both a short drive away. Within 2 km of the property there are nine restaurants and a café, largely tied to the golf and holiday economy, plus two health centres and a wide choice of schools, 15 primary and 10 secondary, within the broader area. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons: busy and sociable in summer, noticeably quieter outside the holiday months, which permanent residents often describe as the appeal of the location. For golf players, the immediate environment is functional rather than scenic only: a par 3 course at 2.3 km, El Soto Golf at 2.8 km and Campo Asia at 2.9 km straight-line distance. The complex facilities, outdoor pools, indoor pool, gym, sauna and steam room, extend the usable day beyond the golf course and the beach, particularly in the shoulder seasons when sea temperatures drop.
The surroundings combine a golf-side residential setting with access to the Mijas Costa infrastructure. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists nine restaurants and a café, two health centres and an extensive school provision, 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, indicating that the area functions year-round, not only in the tourist season. For daily shopping, residents orient towards Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas, both a few minutes away by car. The coastline offers three beaches within roughly 3 km as the crow flies: Playa de Calahonda - Riviera at 2.8 km, Playa El Bombo at 2.9 km and Playa de Calahonda - Rocas del Mar at 2.9 km. Marinas extend the leisure options: Puerto Cabopino at 4.1 km and the larger Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 9.0 km straight-line distance. Tourism infrastructure in the area, 10 hotels with around 2,131 beds, supports the rental market that underpins the tourist licence of this apartment. Public transport exists in the form of 4 lines with 50 stops, which covers basic mobility, but the hillside golf location makes a car the practical standard. The nearest train stations are Fuengirola at 8.4 km and Los Boliches at 9.8 km straight-line, connecting to the Cercanías line towards Málaga.
The map shows the apartment's position on the golf course between La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda, set back roughly 2.8 km from the coastline and 136 m above sea level. The markers indicate the nearest beaches, golf courses, marinas and the road connections towards Marbella and Málaga. All distances shown are straight-line.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calanova Golf occupies the stretch of Mijas Costa between Fuengirola and Marbella, one of the most established residential corridors of the western Costa del Sol. Marbella lies 16 km to the west and Málaga 35 km to the east, both in a straight line, placing the property within easy reach of the two anchors of the regional economy. La Cala de Mijas, 3.1 km away, functions as the local village centre. The position is neither purely coastal nor inland: it sits on the first hillside above the coast, which defines its views, its car-dependence and its price level relative to frontline beach properties.
Accessibility is a strong point of the location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 26 km away in a straight line, which typically translates into a drive of around half an hour; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 70 km. The A-7 coastal motorway runs near the urbanisation, linking the property to Marbella 16 km to the west and Málaga 35 km to the east, both by direct distance. Beaches sit within roughly 3 km, marinas within 4 to 9 km, and three golf courses within about 3 km of the front door. For families considering longer stays, the English International College lies 7.8 km away in a straight line. Train connections require a drive to Fuengirola (8.4 km) or Los Boliches (9.8 km); the local bus network with its 50 stops serves the main coastal corridor. All distances given are straight-line; actual road distances are somewhat longer due to the hilly terrain. In practical terms, nearly all destinations are reached by car, and travel times remain short relative to more rural inland alternatives.

The climate data positions the location within the standard Costa del Sol pattern. The average annual temperature of 17.9°C reflects the moderating effect of the sea at this latitude, with hot summers and mild winters. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months, realistically June through September, which is why the complex's indoor pool and sauna add genuine value for the remaining eight months. The elevation of 136 m places the apartment above the immediate coastal strip, which brings the sea, mountain and golf views that the property offers, at the cost of a walk to the beach rather than a stroll. The hillside position also means some slope in the surrounding streets, a practical detail for anyone with mobility considerations. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year; the Mediterranean light and the east orientation of the terrace combine to give bright mornings throughout the year, which is the natural rhythm of the home.

Beach life is close but not on the doorstep. Three beaches lie within roughly 2.8 to 2.9 km straight-line distance: Playa de Calahonda - Riviera, Playa El Bombo and Playa de Calahonda - Rocas del Mar. These are the sandy coves of the Mijas Costa, reached in a few minutes by car. Golf dominates the recreational profile of the immediate area: the Par 3 Course at 2.3 km, El Soto Golf at 2.8 km and Campo Asia at 2.9 km, with La Siiesta Golf Club at 1.8 km, four options within a short drive. Sports centres include Finca Naundrup at 1.5 km and Club del Sol at 1.7 km. For walking and sightseeing, the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas (3.1 km) and the marina at Puerto Cabopino (4.1 km) offer varied weekend destinations, while Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 9.0 km provides a larger harbour with dining and boat trips. Within the complex itself, the two outdoor pools, the indoor pool, the gym, sauna and steam room cover daily recreation without leaving the grounds.
