This key-ready penthouse is located in Calanova Golf, a residential golf area between La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda on the Costa del Sol. The property was completed in 2022 within a gated complex with security surveillance. It offers 117 m² of living space, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a 65 m² private rooftop solarium with panoramic views over the golf course, the mountains and the Mediterranean. The asking price is fixed at €760,000. The property includes two underground parking spaces, one with an electric vehicle charging connection, two storage rooms, and a private lift linking the apartment to the garage. Communal facilities include an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a gym and a sauna.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse sits in the hills above Mijas Costa at an elevation of 136 metres, roughly eight minutes by car from the centre of La Cala de Mijas. Marbella lies 16 km away as the crow flies and Málaga 35 km. Beaches such as Playa de Calahonda - Riviera are approximately 2.8 km in a straight line, meaning daily trips to the coast require a short drive.
The home is designed around outdoor living: both bedrooms open directly onto a terrace, and the 65 m² rooftop solarium extends the usable space considerably. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning with hot function, and a heated indoor pool support year-round comfort. Two parking spaces and two storage rooms accommodate households with more than one vehicle or substantial storage needs.
Construction was completed in 2022 and the property is key-ready, so there is no waiting period or construction risk. The complex is newly built and gated, with security surveillance on site. The property is offered partially furnished. As with all completion information, the stated 2022 date is indicative and should be verified during the purchase process.
The property is not on the beachfront; the nearest beaches are around 2.8 km away in a straight line and require a car. There is no private garden, and the two-bedroom layout limits capacity for larger households. A car is necessary for daily life, as shopping, schools and the train station in Fuengirola are not within walking distance. Holiday rentals are permitted only subject to applicable tourist licensing and legal requirements.
This property fits several recognisable situations. The first is a couple or small household seeking a manageable two-bedroom home with generous outdoor space, where the solarium effectively doubles the living area during the warm months. The second is a buyer prioritising recent construction: with completion in 2022, the buyer avoids building-phase risk and moves into a home with current technical standards, including underfloor heating in the bathrooms and air conditioning with a heating function. A third situation is the golf-oriented lifestyle. The location within Calanova Golf, with additional courses such as El Soto and Campo Asia within roughly 3 km straight-line distance, makes daily or weekly play realistic without long car journeys. The heated indoor pool and gym extend this routine through the winter months. A fourth profile is the second-home buyer who visits in different seasons and wants a property that functions year-round, not only in summer. The quiet urbanisation outside peak season, combined with an eight-minute drive to La Cala de Mijas and its beaches, supports that use. Finally, the property may suit an investor, since holiday rentals are permitted within the development, subject to applicable tourist licensing and legal requirements. Buyers needing proximity to public transport, walkable shopping or more than two bedrooms will find the location and layout less practical, and a car is necessary for nearly all daily errands.
The penthouse dates from 2022, which places it within the current generation of Costa del Sol construction. The interior features an open-plan living and kitchen layout, modern bathrooms with walk-in showers, and bedroom-level finishing consistent with recent delivery standards. Floor-to-ceiling or large-format glazing connects the bedrooms directly with the terraces, a layout choice that maximises natural light and the sea, mountain and golf views. Climate control is specified in detail. The property has air conditioning with a hot-air function for cooler months, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a comfort feature that is practical given the 17.9 °C average annual temperature in the region, which means winter mornings can be cool, particularly at 136 metres elevation. The multiple stated orientations (east, south-east, south and west aspects across terraces and solarium) provide sun exposure across most of the day. The parking and storage arrangement is above average for this segment: two underground parking spaces, one pre-equipped with an electrical connection for electric vehicle charging, two separate storage rooms, and a private lift running directly from the apartment to the garage level. This removes the usual trip between a communal parking area and the front door. Communal facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a heated indoor pool, a gym and a sauna, with gated access and security surveillance. The individual private pool feature recorded for the property, typically the solarium plunge arrangement on penthouses of this type, should be confirmed during a viewing. The property is offered partially furnished; the exact inventory list forms part of the purchase documentation.
The asking price is a fixed €760,000 for this existing, key-ready penthouse completed in 2022. At 117 m² of living space, this equates to roughly €6,500 per square metre, with the 65 m² rooftop solarium included in the purchase. The property is offered partially furnished and comes with two underground parking spaces, one fitted with an electric vehicle charging connection, plus two storage rooms and private lift access to the garage. For comparison, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast currently start considerably lower: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, though those are off-plan developments of a different scale and finish level.
Daily life at this penthouse revolves around a golf-side residential setting combined with short car trips to the coast. The complex sits within the Calanova Golf urbanisation, where mornings typically begin with sun on the east- and south-facing terraces and views across the fairways towards the sea. The 65 m² rooftop solarium functions as an outdoor living room for most of the year, usable for meals, sunbathing or simply enjoying the panorama from the mountains to the Mediterranean. Both bedrooms have direct terrace access, which links the interior to the exterior and brings light into the sleeping areas. The open-plan living and kitchen area forms the practical heart of the home. Because the complex was completed in 2022, the layout reflects current building standards: level thresholds, generous glazing and modern installations. The surrounding area is quiet by nature. Amenities within 2 km include nine restaurants and a café, which covers basic daily needs such as eating out, but grocery shopping and other services generally involve a drive to La Cala de Mijas or Calahonda. The centre of La Cala de Mijas, with its shops, schools, medical facilities and beaches, is about an eight-minute drive away. For sports and leisure, several options lie close by: Finca Naundrup sports centre at 1.5 km, Club del Sol at 1.7 km and La Siesta Golf Club at 1.8 km, all measured in a straight line. The golf courses of El Soto and Campo Asia are within roughly 3 km. This makes the location practical for residents who play golf or sport several times a week, while the coast remains reachable for beach days and evening walks. Outside the summer season the area remains considerably calmer than the coastal strip, which suits residents seeking a quieter rhythm throughout the year.
The immediate surroundings consist of the Calanova Golf urbanisation, a low-density residential area of apartments and villas set around the golf course. Within a 2 km radius the data records nine restaurants and one café, plus two health centres and a full range of schools in the wider area: fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools. This indicates an established residential zone rather than a purely tourist enclave, with 3,190 housing transactions per year pointing to an active local market. Tourism infrastructure is present but moderate: ten hotels with 2,131 beds. Outside the summer months the area quiets down noticeably compared with the coastal strip. For daily shopping and services, most residents drive to La Cala de Mijas, roughly eight minutes by car, or to Calahonda. The beaches of Playa de Calahonda - Riviera, Playa El Bombo and Playa de Calahonda - Rocas del Mar all lie between 2.8 and 2.9 km away as the crow flies. Public transport exists, four lines and fifty stops in the area, but as in most hillside urbanisations, coverage is limited relative to the coast road. The train stations of Fuengirola (8.4 km) and Los Boliches (9.8 km) provide the regional rail connection towards Málaga, reachable by car or taxi. In practice, a household here plans life around one or two cars, using them for groceries, the beach, schools and the station.
The map shows the penthouse's position within Calanova Golf, on the hillside between La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda. Distances shown are straight-line; road routes to the beaches, Marbella and Fuengirola are somewhat longer. The golf courses surrounding the urbanisation are visible immediately around the property marker.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Calanova Golf occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, between the towns of La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda. Marbella lies 16 km to the west and Fuengirola roughly 9 km to the east, with Málaga city 35 km further along the coast. This places the property in the central band of the coast: within easy reach of both the Marbella leisure economy and the airport at Málaga (about 26 km straight-line). Compared with coastal-strip locations, the hillside setting trades walkability for quiet, views and golf proximity, a trade-off that defines much of the residential offer between Fuengirola and Marbella.
Accessibility is a strong point of this location in regional terms. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 26 km away in a straight line, making arrivals and departures straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport is about 70 km away as an alternative for certain routes. Marbella is 16 km in a straight line and Málaga city, with 579,076 inhabitants, is 35 km, giving access to both a mid-sized resort town and a provincial capital. The nearest beaches are 2.8 to 2.9 km away in a straight line, a short drive, with actual road distances somewhat longer. Golf is the closest amenity of all: besides the Calanova course at the doorstep, the Par 3 Course lies 2.3 km away, El Soto Golf 2.8 km and Campo Asia 2.9 km, all as the crow flies. The marinas of Puerto Cabopino (4.1 km) and Fuengirola (9.0 km) serve boating and waterfront dining. For families considering schooling, the English International College is 7.8 km away in a straight line. Rail connections run from Fuengirola station, 8.4 km straight-line from the property. A car remains essential for all of these trips; the private lift to the garage and the two included parking spaces, one EV-ready, make that car dependency as convenient as possible.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol profile with some local nuance. The average annual temperature is 17.9 °C, and the swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about four months, roughly June through September. For an unheated pool this sets the outdoor swimming window; the communal heated indoor pool extends swimming to the rest of the year. At 136 metres above sea level, the property sits above the coastal temperature inversion layer common on this coast. In practice this means somewhat cooler nights in winter and marginally fresher air in summer compared with sea-level locations, while sea and mountain views open up from the terraces and solarium. The terrain in Calanova Golf is hilly, so walks within the urbanisation involve slopes. The surrounding landscape combines the maintained green of the golf course with the natural Mediterranean hillside behind it. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.1 km away as the crow flies, marks the transition to the coastal plain. Sunshine hours in the region are among the highest in Spain, which is the practical reason the 65 m² solarium is usable nearly all year round.

The coastal strip near La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda offers several beaches within a short drive: 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, all straight-line distances with road distances somewhat longer. These are family-oriented sandy beaches with the chiringuito beach bars typical of the Mijas Costa shoreline. Recreation inland of the coast road centres on golf and sport. The Par 3 Course lies 2.3 km away, El Soto Golf 2.8 km and Campo Asia 2.9 km, with the Calanova course at the doorstep of the complex. Sports centres include Finca Naundrup at 1.5 km, Club del Sol at 1.7 km and La Siesta Golf Club at 1.8 km. Within the complex itself, residents use the outdoor pool, the heated indoor pool, the gym and the sauna. For water-based leisure beyond the beach, Puerto Cabopino marina is 4.1 km away as the crow flies and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola 9.0 km, offering berths, waterfront restaurants and excursion boats. Hiking and viewpoint walks are available around La Cala de Mijas, whose viewpoint sits 3.1 km away. Together these options give the area a recreation profile weighted towards golf, beaches and marinas rather than mountain sports.

Within the central Costa del Sol between Fuengirola and Marbella, golf-side residential locations such as Calanova Golf occupy a distinct market segment. Compared with properties directly on the coastal strip, the hillside position at 136 metres elevation offers broader views, a quieter environment outside the summer months and immediate proximity to several golf courses, but requires a car for the beach, shopping and transport. The nearest beaches at 2.8 to 2.9 km straight-line distance, La Cala de Mijas centre at an eight-minute drive, and Fuengirola station at 8.4 km define the practical daily radius. Priced at a fixed €760,000, or roughly €6,500 per m² of living space plus a 65 m² solarium, two parking spaces and two storage rooms, this penthouse sits above the entry-level Costa del Sol market. Current new-build alternatives further along the coast start lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those are off-plan developments with from-prices for smaller base units, longer delivery horizons and, in most cases, a less central position between Marbella and Málaga airport. The relevant trade-off here is certainty and completeness: a finished 2022 build, inclusions that would otherwise be added costs, and a location equidistant from Marbella (16 km) and Fuengirola (9 km). For the immediate area, the local market shows consistent activity, 3,190 housing transactions per year and a full education and healthcare infrastructure, indicating an established residential zone rather than a seasonal resort. Holiday rentals are permitted in the development subject to tourist licensing, which connects the property to the region's rental economy centred on the ten hotels and 2,131 tourist beds nearby. Buyers comparing this penthouse against new golf-side launches in La Cala, Calahonda or Estepona should weigh the fixed price and immediate availability against the from-price flexibility of off-plan alternatives.
