A four-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse of 153 m² is for sale at a fixed asking price of €935,000 in La Cala de Mijas, in the municipality of Mijas, province of Málaga. Completed in 2018 and key-ready, the property forms one of only four townhouses within a small residential community with underground parking, three swimming pools and a gym. The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 24 km in a straight line. The home faces south and west and includes sea views from the upper sun terrace.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in a suburban setting within the La Cala de Mijas urbanisation, close to shops and golf. The town centre and its amenities sit within walking distance, while three beaches lie between 1.6 and 1.9 km away in a straight line. Marbella is 18 km distant as the crow flies; Fuengirola train station 6.0 km.
The house offers four genuine bedrooms and three bathrooms across two floors, with a full-width lounge, a kitchen with chef's island and both a private terrace and an upper sun terrace with sea views. Fitted wardrobes, ducted air conditioning and two dedicated underground parking spaces plus a storage unit support permanent residential use as well as holiday stays.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2018 and the property is key-ready, allowing immediate transfer of use after purchase. The current owners have carried out updates during their ownership, including an efficient climate system and modernised fixtures and fittings throughout.
The property has a communal pool rather than a private one, and no private garden is listed; the outdoor space consists of terraces with direct street access. Permission has been granted for a roof-terrace staircase, but this has not yet been installed. There is no lift, with the staircase connecting the two floors. On-street parking is available in addition to the two garage spaces.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the coast permanently will find four genuine bedrooms, three bathrooms, a school within two kilometres and fifteen primary schools across the wider area, plus two health centres. Buyers seeking a second home with low maintenance obligations benefit from a managed community with gardens and pools handled collectively, while the walkable distance to restaurants and shops reduces dependence on a car for daily errands, though a vehicle remains useful for the uphill return from the beach and for trips to Marbella or Fuengirola. Retirees or part-year residents may value the heated, year-round pool and the gym, along with the single-flight staircase between the two floors, noting there is no lift. Buyers who prefer a completed, updated home over a new-build off-plan purchase will find modern systems already installed, including an efficient heat and cooling installation, underfloor heating in bathrooms and ducted air conditioning. The property is less suited to those wanting a private pool and garden, since outdoor space here consists of terraces and communal facilities. The approved but unbuilt roof-terrace staircase may interest buyers willing to carry out a low-cost extension of the living space, while others can treat it simply as a future option.
The house was completed in 2018 and the current owners have updated it during their ownership, so the finishing sits well above the standard of many resales of the same age. The Daikin Altherma system provides efficient heating, air conditioning and on-demand hot water, with bathroom underfloor heating as an additional comfort feature. Ducted air conditioning runs throughout the property. Windows, doors and internal carpentry are modern, and electric blinds are concealed, giving clean internal lines. The kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances and a usable chef's island. Sliding pocket doors to the lounge and exterior courtyard maximise usable wall space and allow the indoor and outdoor areas to function as one in warm weather. Light fittings are described as contemporary, and a feature electric fireplace with a wall-mounted TV display serves the lounge. Storage is addressed on three levels: cupboards on the ground floor, a dressing room in the primary suite, and a generous storage unit in the underground garage adjacent to the two dedicated parking spaces. The staircase is unusually wide and naturally lit, which reflects the general approach to space in the design. Overall, the specification indicates a property maintained to a high standard, with systems that support year-round occupancy rather than seasonal use only.
The asking price is fixed at €935,000. This covers a key-ready townhouse completed in 2018, with 153 m² of living space, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two dedicated underground parking spaces, a property-specific storage unit and access to the community facilities. Within La Cala de Mijas, new-build comparables start from €670,000 (Cala Serena Sun) and €890,000 (Cala Serena Village), which places this existing home in the upper segment of the local market. As a resale property, transfer costs and taxes differ from new-build purchases; the usual Spanish resale arrangements apply. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process.
The house is arranged over two floors with tall ceilings and generous glazing on both levels. The ground floor holds two bedrooms with garden views and built-in wardrobes, a family bathroom and storage cupboards, leading to a full-width, full-height lounge, kitchen and dining area. Sliding pocket doors separate the indoor space from a private exterior terrace with direct street access, which allows daylight into the living area from morning until the end of the day. The upper floor contains a primary bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, dressing room and a full-width sun terrace facing the sea, plus a guest bedroom with its own oversized terrace overlooking the gardens. The layout suits both year-round living and extended stays: morning light on the upper terrace, afternoon and evening sun on the south and west-facing outdoor spaces, and mountain, garden and urban views from different rooms. Electric blinds, a feature electric fireplace and a wall-mounted TV point are already installed. Daily life here is walkable to a degree unusual for the Costa del Sol: restaurants, grocery stores, cafés, banks and pharmacies are all within roughly two kilometres, and the beach is a 20-minute walk downhill at a moderate gradient of 3.4 percent, a factor to consider on the return journey. The community itself consists mostly of apartments, with the four townhouses forming a small subset, and offers three swimming pools (one heated and open year-round), maintained communal gardens and a fully equipped gym.
La Cala de Mijas is a coastal town within the municipality of Mijas, positioned between Fuengirola and Marbella. Within two kilometres of the property there are 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, 6 banks, 2 pharmacies and a school, which makes daily life largely manageable on foot. The town supports a moderate tourism sector, 10 hotels with roughly 2,130 beds, meaning the area is noticeably busier in summer than in winter, without becoming a resort enclave. Housing transactions in the area run at around 3,800 per year, indicating an active local market. Sports facilities are close by: Polideportivo de La Cala at 0.6 km, a padel club at 2.4 km and a tennis club at 2.8 km, all straight-line distances. A viewpoint at 1.2 km offers an orientation point above the town. Four public transport lines serve the area with some 50 stops, and Fuengirola train station lies 6.0 km away as the crow flies, connecting towards Málaga. For buyers comparing year-round livability, the presence of schools, healthcare and everyday retail within a short radius is the distinguishing feature of this location relative to more isolated urbanisations along the coast.
The map shows the property within the La Cala de Mijas urbanisation, with the town centre and its beaches within walking distance to the south-west and three golf courses clustered inland. Note that distances shown are straight-line; actual road routes are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Cala de Mijas occupies a central position on the western Costa del Sol, 18 km from Marbella (as the crow flies) and 34 km from Málaga, placing it between two of the region's principal urban centres. Fuengirola lies roughly 6 km to the east. This centrality is one of the location's practical strengths: both Marbella and the provincial capital are reachable for work, services or leisure, while the town itself retains a village-scale centre with local commerce rather than relying entirely on resort infrastructure.
The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, is 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with two further beaches at 1.7 and 1.9 km. Three golf courses sit within 3.4 km: El Chaparral at 1.7 km, Cerrado del Aguila at 2.1 km and Santana Golf at 3.4 km. Marinas are at Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Fuengirola's Puerto Deportivo (6.5 km). Marbella lies 18 km straight-line and Málaga 34 km; Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 24 km as the crow flies, with Gibraltar airport an alternative at about 72 km. A car is practical rather than essential: errands and dining are walkable, but the 3.4 percent gradient back from the beach and distances to Marbella or Fuengirola make driving the norm. Public transport exists, four lines and 50 stops, and Fuengirola train station at 6.0 km provides rail access along the coast towards the provincial capital.

The elevation is 55 metres above sea level, low enough that the walk to the beach involves only a moderate gradient, while still giving the upper terrace its sea views. The average annual temperature is 18.5 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 14 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer, a pattern that supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about five months, roughly May or June through September or October. The south and west orientation of the property means the terraces receive sun through the middle of the day and into the evening, with the mountain views to the north providing a contrasting backdrop. For residents, the practical consequence is that the outdoor rooms and the pocket-door arrangement between lounge and terrace are usable for a large part of the year, not only in high summer.

Three beaches lie within two kilometres: Playa de La Cala - El Torreón (1.6 km), Playa de Las Doradas (1.7 km) and Playa de La Cala - La Butibamba (1.9 km), all straight-line distances. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate surroundings, with El Chaparral Golf Club 1.7 km away, Cerrado del Aguila Golf 2.1 km and Santana Golf & Country Club 3.4 km, giving three courses within a short drive. Padel and tennis are available at 2.4 and 2.8 km respectively, and the municipal sports centre sits just 0.6 km from the property. A public swimming pool at Piscina Bellavista is 2.5 km away, supplementing the community's three pools. For boating, Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Fuengirola marina (6.5 km) are the nearest options. Taken together, the recreational offer combines beach, golf and racquet sports within a compact radius, which suits both active residents and holiday use.

At a fixed asking price of €935,000, this townhouse sits above the entry point of the La Cala de Mijas market. The closest new-build comparables in the same town are Cala Serena Sun, starting from €670,000, and Cala Serena Village, from €890,000. Further afield, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts from €524,600, though Estepona is a different sub-market further west along the coast. The premium over the local new-build entry price reflects three things: the property is completed and updated rather than off-plan; it offers four genuine bedrooms and 153 m² with two parking spaces and a storage unit included; and it stands within an established community with year-round facilities such as a heated pool and a gym. Buyers weighing this home against new construction should also note the practical differences in process: a resale purchase avoids construction-period risk and delivery delays, but involves resale transfer taxes rather than new-build rates, and the roof-terrace extension remains a project to be executed rather than a delivered feature. Within the wider Costa del Sol, La Cala de Mijas is generally positioned below Marbella's prime districts in price while offering a walkable town centre, three nearby golf courses and a central location between Fuengirola and Marbella, a combination that supports both residential and second-home demand. The area records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid local market for future resale.
