A key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 91 m² in a gated resort-style complex in the upper part of La Cala de Mijas, completed in 2024. The property sits on the second floor with views over Calanova Golf Club and lateral sea views, oriented to the south-east. Facilities include two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, gym, sauna and steam room. A covered outdoor parking space within the gated community is included. The asking price is fixed at €449,000. The property holds a tourist rental licence with existing rental history.
Within La Cala de Mijas itself, new-build alternatives price above this property: Vission Hills starts at €496,200 and Almare at €496,000, both as new-build projects with 'from' pricing rather than a fixed figure for a specific completed home. Further west, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600. The apartment at €449,000 therefore sits below the entry price of comparable new developments in the same town, while offering something those projects cannot: an existing tourist rental licence with rental history, and a completed 2024 delivery with snagging already resolved. Buyers comparing options should weigh these factors against what off-plan or newly launched projects provide, such as choice of floor plan, orientation or payment staging over the construction period. Locationally, La Cala de Mijas holds a central-west position on the Costa del Sol: 18 km from Marbella and 34 km from Málaga, with the airport roughly 24 km away as the crow flies. This is closer to the regional airport than Estepona, which typically adds 30 to 40 minutes of travel time, and it keeps both Marbella and Fuengirola within a short drive. The local market records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale and new-build market with regular liquidity. The area's golf concentration, four courses within 3.4 km, and its modest tourism scale of ten hotels position it as a residential golf destination rather than a high-density resort town, which shapes both the year-round atmosphere and the rental profile of a licensed property such as this one.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in the elevated northern section of La Cala de Mijas, directly adjacent to Calanova Golf Club. The coast and the AP-7 toll road are both easily accessible by car. Marbella lies 18 km away as the crow flies and Málaga 34 km, positioning the property between the two main urban centres of the western Costa del Sol. Daily amenities are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius.
With two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living area with a contemporary kitchen, the layout suits couples, small families or buyers seeking a low-maintenance second residence. Air conditioning is installed for hot and cold use, and fitted wardrobes provide storage. A lift serves the building. Communal facilities reduce the need for private maintenance of a pool or garden.
The complex was completed in 2024, which places the property in the first year of use. Common post-delivery defects have already been resolved, according to the seller. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the home can be occupied immediately upon transfer. No further construction phases or delivery planning apply to this individual resale unit.
The parking space is outdoor and covered, not an enclosed garage. Storage of a vehicle is therefore sheltered but not fully enclosed. The property is an apartment within a gated community, so no private pool, private garden or private plot are included; pool use is communal. Distances to the beach involve a moderate gradient of 3.4%, meaning the return walk is uphill. No data are available on storage rooms or community fees.
Several recognisable buyer situations fit this property. A couple seeking a lock-and-leave second home benefits from the gated setting, communal pools and covered parking, with the indoor heated pool extending use through winter months. A buyer combining personal use with rental income can draw on the existing tourist licence and rental history, removing the uncertainty of applying for a licence in a municipality where regulation applies. Small families have a school within two kilometres and two health centres in the locality. Golf-oriented buyers value the frontline position at Calanova Golf Club, with El Chaparral at 1.7 km and Cerrado del Águila at 2.1 km adding variety. Frequent flyers will note Málaga airport at roughly 24 km straight-line, reachable via the nearby AP-7. Buyers who prefer walking everywhere should weigh the 1.6 km distance to the beach with a moderate gradient on the return. Anyone requiring a private pool, private garden or an enclosed garage will not find those here. The fixed asking price and immediate availability also suit buyers who want to avoid the waiting periods and phased payments associated with off-plan purchases.
The apartment was completed in 2024, which means recent building regulations and contemporary construction standards apply. The interior photographs show a modern white kitchen, a bathroom with a contemporary sink counter, and a bedroom with decorative detailing, consistent with a current delivery specification. Climate control includes installed air conditioning for both hot and cold operation, with pre-installation noted in the technical features, and fitted wardrobes provide internal storage. A lift serves all floors of the building. The communal areas form a substantial part of the overall quality on offer: two outdoor swimming pools with sun loungers and parasols, a heated indoor pool, a fully equipped gym, a sauna and a steam room. These facilities are maintained collectively by the community, so their long-term condition depends on community management; no figures for community fees are available in the data. The seller states that minor delivery defects have already been corrected, which is a factual advantage of buying a completed home a year after handover rather than at the key handover moment itself. The included parking space is covered but open-sided, which shelters the vehicle from sun and rain without providing full enclosure. No energy performance data or material specifications are available in the provided dataset, so buyers should request these documents during due diligence.
This is an existing, key-ready home offered at a fixed asking price of €449,000. The price reflects a completed 2024 delivery with resolved snagging items, two bathrooms, communal resort facilities and an included covered parking space within the gated community. The property carries a tourist rental licence with documented rental history, which is relevant to buyers weighing personal use against rental income. For comparison, new-build projects in La Cala de Mijas such as Vission Hills (from €496,200) and Almare (from €496,000) start above this price point, though configurations differ. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard purchase process.
Daily life here revolves around a golf-side resort setting rather than a town-centre rhythm. The apartment looks out over Calanova Golf Club with lateral sea views, and the south-east orientation brings morning sun onto the terrace-side living space. Mornings can begin with daylight over the fairways; the spa area with sauna and steam room offers an evening option without leaving the complex. Two outdoor swimming pools and a heated indoor pool extend swimming beyond the roughly five-month warm-water season along this coast. The open-plan living area of 91 m² connects the kitchen, dining and sitting zones in a single bright space, workable for a couple or as a holiday base for a small family. Practical errands require a short drive: within two kilometres there are 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, two pharmacies and six bank branches, while a school and two health centres serve the wider locality. The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with a moderate uphill return. A car is the practical mode of transport here; four bus lines with around 50 stops cover the wider area, and Fuengirola railway station is 6 km away. The urbanisation setting keeps the immediate surroundings quiet, with the activity of La Cala's village centre a short distance downhill. Outside the summer season the area retains its residential character, supported by year-round golf and sports facilities such as Polideportivo de La Cala at 0.6 km.
The immediate surroundings are defined by golf courses and a residential urbanisation in the hills above La Cala de Mijas. Calanova Golf Club adjoins the complex, and three further courses lie within 3.5 km: El Chaparral at 1.7 km, Cerrado del Águila at 2.1 km and Santana Golf at 3.4 km. Sports options extend beyond golf, with Polideportivo de La Cala 0.6 km away, a padel club at 2.4 km and Miraflores Tennis Club at 2.8 km. Daily provisioning is practical: the two-kilometre radius contains 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, two pharmacies and six banks. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the locality, and education by 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools across the wider area. Tourism infrastructure is modest in scale, with 10 hotels and roughly 2,130 beds, indicating that the area does not carry the density of a large resort town. Transport runs on four bus lines with around 50 stops; Fuengirola station, 6 km away, connects to the regional railway towards Málaga. For boating, Puerto Cabopino lies 6.2 km away and Fuengirola marina 6.5 km. A car remains the most practical means of daily transport from this elevated position.
The map shows the apartment in the elevated golf district of La Cala de Mijas, midway between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Calanova Golf Club adjoins the complex, with the beaches of La Cala roughly 1.6 km downhill as the crow flies. The AP-7 toll road provides fast connections towards Málaga airport, approximately 24 km away in a straight line.

La Cala de Mijas occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol, roughly halfway between Fuengirola and Marbella, which lies 18 km away in a straight line. Málaga, at 34 km, is the provincial capital and the region's transport hub. This centrality places the apartment within reach of the coast's main employment, healthcare and cultural centres while remaining outside their year-round density. The immediate setting is a golf urbanisation rather than a beachfront strip, which distinguishes it from the village centre of La Cala itself, 1.6 km downhill. The location suits buyers who value quiet, green surroundings with the coast and two large towns in easy driving distance.
The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de Las Doradas at 1.7 km and La Butibamba at 1.9 km; road distances are longer and the return involves a moderate gradient of 3.4%. Marbella is 18 km away in a straight line and Málaga 34 km, giving access to both cities for work, shopping and culture. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 24 km as the crow flies, reached via the AP-7 toll road, whose access point is close to the complex; Gibraltar airport is an alternative at roughly 72 km. Rail travel starts at Fuengirola station, 6 km away. Four public bus lines with around 50 stops serve the area, workable for occasional trips but not for daily commuting without planning. By car, the AP-7 and the coastal A-7 provide the two main axes along the coast. Within a two-kilometre radius, groceries, pharmacies, banks, cafés and restaurants are all available, making most errands short trips rather than expeditions.

La Cala de Mijas sits at about 55 metres above sea level on the lower slopes of the Mijas hills, giving the apartment its elevated outlook over the golf course and the sea. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5 °C and monthly averages ranging from 14 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or more, lasts around five months. The moderate gradient of 3.4% towards the beach reflects the hillside setting: pleasant views in exchange for an uphill walk back from the coast. The surrounding green belt of golf courses and the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 1.2 km away, provide accessible outdoor space. The south-east orientation of the apartment aligns morning sun with the living spaces, a practical detail for terrace breakfasts and for managing summer heat, since the strongest afternoon sun arrives from a different angle. Air conditioning for both heating and cooling covers the temperature extremes of the Andalusian calendar.

Three beaches lie within two kilometres: Playa de La Cala - El Torreón at 1.6 km, Playa de Las Doradas at 1.7 km and Playa de La Cala - La Butibamba at 1.9 km, all straight-line distances. These are the sandy coves and stretches that characterise La Cala's village coast. Golf forms the second recreational pillar: Calanova adjoins the complex, with El Chaparral, Cerrado del Águila and Santana Golf within 3.4 km, giving four courses in close range. Racket sports are well represented through the padel club at 2.4 km and Miraflores Tennis Club at 2.8 km, while the municipal sports centre at 0.6 km covers general fitness. Within the complex itself, the two outdoor pools, the heated indoor pool, the gym, the sauna and the steam room provide recreation without leaving the gate. For time on the water, Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Fuengirola marina (6.5 km) offer berths and waterfront dining. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 1.2 km away, is a local spot for evening walks overlooking the coast.
