This detached villa stands in the Calanova Golf area of La Cala de Mijas, within the municipality of Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property offers a constructed area of 2,232 m² on a private plot of 3,662 m², with twelve bedrooms and five bathrooms spread over four levels connected by a lift. The house was completed in 2006 and is key-ready. Views extend over the sea, the golf course and the nearby mountains. The asking price is fixed at €5,600,000. Amenities include a private pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, wine cellar and parking for up to ten vehicles within a gated community.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in the Calanova Golf area, roughly 1.6 km as the crow flies from Playa de La Cala - El Torreón. The surrounding neighbourhood is residential and golf-oriented, with El Chaparral Golf Club about 1.7 km away and Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 2.1 km. Marbella lies 18 km to the west and Málaga 34 km to the east, both measured in a straight line.
The property functions as a large family residence or hospitality-capable home, with twelve bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, a cinema room and a separate staff quarters. Practical facilities include underfloor heating, air conditioning, a lift serving all floors, a gym, a sauna and extensive terracing around an infinity pool. A garage level provides parking for up to ten vehicles.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2006 and the condition is recorded as fair, meaning key-ready but nearly two decades old. Buyers should factor in the age of installations and finishing when assessing maintenance planning. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
The property does not offer a modern energy certification presentation, and its condition is listed as fair rather than newly renovated. With twelve bedrooms and five bathrooms, the bedroom-to-bathroom ratio is lower than in contemporary villa layouts. The plot is 3,662 m², substantial but not estate-scale for this price bracket. No beachfront position is offered; the sea lies about 1.6 km away by direct distance.
This property suits a buyer who needs genuine capacity rather than nominal bedrooms: a multi-generational household, a family that regularly hosts guests, or an owner planning to run the house with live-in staff, for which the separate staff quarters and office are direct enablers. It also fits buyers who prioritise entertainment infrastructure, cinema room, games room, wine cellar and a ten-vehicle garage, over minimalist contemporary design. The location works for people who want golf-course surroundings with sea views but accept a residential setting about 1.6 km from the beach rather than frontline coastal positioning. The 2006 construction year and fair condition mean the home suits buyers prepared to assess and budget for phased refurbishment of certain installations, rather than those seeking a turn-key 2020s build. A car is part of daily life here: buses exist, four lines with 50 stops in the area, but the practical rhythm of this address is car-based. Finally, the fixed €5,600,000 price positions it in the upper segment of the Mijas market, which makes it relevant to buyers comparing large villas in Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona rather than apartments or townhouses.
The specification list dates from the 2006 build and combines materials and systems typical of high-end Andalusian construction of that period. Flooring is a mix of marble and wood across the main rooms. Climate control is layered: underfloor heating throughout, hot and cold air conditioning, radiators and a fireplace, backed by a central boiler and solar panels. Windows and blinds are security-rated, and the house carries special thermal and acoustic insulation, relevant given its position near a golf area with altitude-based views. Home automation, video surveillance and an alarm system handle control and security. Wet areas include a jacuzzi and sauna, and the pool is an infinity design with a viewing deck. The condition is recorded as fair, which in practice means the systems function but nearly two decades of use should be inspected: boiler and solar installation age, lift service history, pool equipment and the condition of marble and wood surfaces all warrant professional survey. Interior layout follows a classical distribution, two living rooms, formal dining room, two kitchens, rather than the open-plan arrangement of newer builds. The separate staff house and the storage room near the parking area are functional additions that support intensive use of the property.
The asking price is fixed at €5,600,000. This is an existing, completed home and the price is not a starting point from which cheaper variants descend. At 2,232 m² constructed on a 3,662 m² plot, the price equates to roughly €2,500 per m² of built area. The property is delivered fully furnished with fitted kitchens, and the sale includes the range of fixed amenities described: lift, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, wine cellar and garage parking for up to ten vehicles. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives in the region should note that comparable new developments elsewhere on the coast start considerably lower but do not offer this scale, plot size or equipment level.
Daily life in this villa revolves around space and layered living. Four levels, garage, basement, ground and first floor, are connected by a lift, which shapes how the household uses the house in practice: service areas, leisure rooms and sleeping quarters each occupy their own zone. The ground floor carries the communal rhythm with two living rooms, a dining room and two kitchens, while the basement houses the cinema room, wine cellar and games room, effectively a separate entertainment wing. Mornings can begin on the terraces facing the golf course and sea; the photographs show a balcony overlooking palms, fairways and mountains, plus a gazebo with hanging chairs positioned for panoramic views. The infinity pool with its viewing deck serves as the outdoor centre of gravity during the warm months, when sea temperatures hold above 20 °C for roughly five months of the year. A separate staff house and an office make multi-generational or serviced living realistic rather than theoretical. The gradient from the house to the beach is moderate at 3.4%, so walking to the village is feasible, though most residents would use a car for shopping and evening outings. Within 2 km there are 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, two pharmacies and six bank branches, which places day-to-day services within a short drive or a longer walk.
The immediate environment is the Calanova Golf residential pocket of La Cala de Mijas, at roughly 55 m elevation. This gives the area a gentle hillside character: sea views from upper floors, moderate gradients on footpaths and a quiet, low-rise streetscape dominated by villas and golf greens. Everyday life runs through La Cala village, about 1.6 km as the crow flies, where the Blue Flag-listed beaches, the weekly market and the seafront restaurants concentrate. Amenities within 2 km include 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, two pharmacies, six bank branches and a school, so routine errands sit within a five-minute drive. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area, and education by 15 primary and 10 secondary schools across the wider municipality. Sports facilities cluster nearby: Polideportivo de La Cala at 0.6 km, a padel club at 2.4 km and Miraflores Tennis Club at 2.8 km. The area receives steady but not overwhelming tourism, 10 hotels with about 2,131 beds, which keeps the village active year-round without the density of Marbella or Fuengirola. Housing turnover of roughly 3,800 transactions per year in the municipality indicates an active, liquid local market.
The map shows the villa's position in the Calanova Golf area above La Cala de Mijas, roughly midway between Fuengirola and Marbella. Distances shown are straight-line: the beach at 1.6 km, four golf courses within 3.4 km and Málaga airport at about 24 km.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Cala de Mijas occupies the central stretch of the Costa del Sol, between Fuengirola to the east and Marbella to the west. That centrality is the location's defining trait: Marbella at 18 km, Málaga city at 34 km and the airport at roughly 24 km place the villa within reach of the coast's main employment, culture and travel hubs while keeping the immediate setting residential. The Mijas coastline has positioned itself in recent decades as the middle market segment between the premium Marbella-Benahavís axis and the value-oriented Fuengirola-Torre del Mar stretch, with roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year indicating steady demand.
Beaches sit at 1.6 to 1.9 km straight-line distance from the villa, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, Playa de Las Doradas and La Butibamba, reachable in a few minutes by car. Marbella lies 18 km and Málaga 34 km away as the crow flies, giving access to two full urban ecosystems within half an hour to forty minutes of driving. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 24 km in a straight line, which typically translates into a drive of around half an hour via the A-7 or AP-7; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at about 72 km. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station, 6 km away, the terminal of the C-1 commuter line to Málaga, with Carvajal station a further option at 10 km. Public transport in the immediate area consists of four bus lines with 50 stops, workable for the village and coastal connections but not for door-to-door commuting. For this address, the practical pattern is car-based mobility, which the ten-space garage accommodates without constraint. Marinas at Cabopino (6.2 km) and Fuengirola (6.5 km) serve boating needs.

The climate data places La Cala de Mijas firmly in the Mediterranean comfort zone: average monthly temperatures range from 14 °C in the coolest month to 26 °C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.5 °C. The swimming season extends to about five months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20 °C. At 55 m above sea level, the villa occupies the lower foothills, enough elevation for layered views over the golf course towards the sea and mountains without the steep access roads of higher inland villages. The gradient toward the beach is a moderate 3.4%, meaning walks down to the coast are manageable and return trips noticeably uphill. The surrounding green structure consists of golf courses, Calanova immediately, El Chaparral at 1.7 km, Cerrado del Aguila at 2.1 km and Santana at 3.4 km, rather than protected natural park, though mountain viewpoints such as the La Cala de Mijas mirador at 1.2 km offer walking destinations close to home. The terrace orientation shown in the photographs, with palm-framed views toward sea and mountains, aligns with the region's pattern of morning sun and long light evenings.

Three beaches sit within about 2 km: 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 measured in a straight line. The La Cala beaches are known for their Blue Flag status and their watchtower heritage, with a mix of chiringuitos and calmer stretches toward the edges. Golf is the dominant recreation format around this address: the villa overlooks Calanova Golf, with El Chaparral at 1.7 km, Cerrado del Águila at 2.1 km and Santana Golf & Country Club at 3.4 km, giving four courses within a short drive. Racquet sports cluster nearby through Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (2.4 km) and Miraflores Tennis Club (2.8 km), and the municipal Polideportivo de La Cala at 0.6 km covers general training. A public pool, Piscina Bellavista, lies at 2.5 km. On the water side, Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (6.5 km) provide marina services, dining and charter options. The villa's own leisure infrastructure, infinity pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym and cinema room, reduces dependence on external facilities for daily recreation.

Within the Mijas and wider Costa del Sol market, this villa competes in the large-villa segment rather than against new-build apartment projects. The comparable developments listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), serve a completely different buyer profile and price bracket, and illustrate how far this property sits above the regional entry level. Per square metre of built area, the fixed €5,600,000 asking price works out to roughly €2,500/m², which is not extreme by Costa del Sol standards for a house of this scale; the total figure reflects quantity of space and equipment more than a premium per metre. Geographically, La Cala de Mijas sits in the central Costa del Sol, 18 km from Marbella and 34 km from Málaga. Large villas with comparable plot sizes in Marbella or Benahavís generally command higher totals, while comparable properties in Estepona or further east often price lower, which places this address in the middle of the regional villa market. The municipal context matters as well: Mijas records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, one of the more active markets on the coast, which supports resale liquidity for established homes. For a buyer weighing this villa against a new-build alternative, the trade-off is clear: a 2006 construction in fair condition with substantial space and existing infrastructure, versus smaller contemporary homes with modern specifications but higher cost per square metre. The practical comparison set for this property is other completed villas of 1,500 m² or more between Fuengirola and Estepona, not off-plan apartment developments.
