A five-bedroom detached villa of 256 m² on a flat 725 m² plot in La Cala de Mijas, on the Costa del Sol. The property was built in 2020, has been fully renovated and is key-ready, with a fixed asking price of €1,499,950. It stands within a short walk of the beach and roughly ten minutes on foot along the boardwalk to the centre of La Cala de Mijas. Five bathrooms serve the five bedrooms, four of which are en suite. Outside there is a private pool, garden and tennis area. The surrounding neighbourhood counts supermarkets, bars, restaurants and a tennis court among its everyday facilities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in La Cala de Mijas, part of the municipality of Mijas in the province of Málaga. The beach at Playa de La Cala - El Torreón lies about 1.6 km away as the crow flies, while the source description notes a walk of roughly one minute to the shore. Marbella is 18 km away in a straight line and Málaga 34 km, giving access to two larger urban centres along the coast.
With five bedrooms and five bathrooms across 256 m² of living space, the house accommodates a larger household or visiting guests without shared facilities on the ground floor, which holds a living-dining room, kitchen and one en-suite bedroom. The upper level carries four further bedrooms. Outside, the flat 725 m² plot contains a private pool, garden and tennis area, supporting daily outdoor use for most of the year.
This is not a new-build project but an existing, completed home, finished in 2020 and subsequently fully renovated. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied immediately after purchase. Completion dates and renovation details are indicative and should be verified during a viewing and through the notarial documentation.
The property data does not mention an energy performance certificate, garage, storage room or community facilities. The plot is 725 m², which is moderate for a detached villa at this price level on the Costa del Sol. Information about the exact year of renovation, technical installations and any holiday-rental licence is not included in the available data and requires verification with the seller.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms and five bathrooms within walking distance of schools and the sea will find the layout practical: one en-suite bedroom downstairs and four bedrooms above. Households that want ground-floor sleeping accommodation for older relatives can use the ground-floor en suite independently of the upper floor. Buyers seeking a second home with strong rental potential may recognise the combination of beach proximity, a private pool and a location in an established tourist area with 10 hotels and over 2,000 beds nearby. The source description explicitly notes the property's suitability as a holiday rental, although an actual rental licence must be verified separately with the municipality. Active households benefit from the tennis area on the plot, the tennis and padel clubs within about 2-3 km and the golf courses of El Chaparral (1.7 km straight-line) and Cerrado del Aguila (2.1 km). Buyers who prefer a quiet inland or hillside setting should note that this is a coastal location with pronounced seasonal tourism; the neighbourhood is livelier in July and August than in winter. A car is useful for reaching Fuengirola train station (6 km straight-line) and Málaga airport, although daily essentials are reachable on foot.
The villa was completed in 2020 and has since been fully renovated, according to the source description. The property photography shows a modern architectural language: large windows in the living areas connecting the interior with the pool terrace, a contemporary living room and an outdoor lounge area around the pool with sun loungers. The renovation appears to have modernised both the interior finishes and the outdoor spaces. In structural terms, the house offers 256 m² of living area distributed over two floors, with the ground floor containing the living-dining room, kitchen and one en-suite bedroom, and the upper floor four additional bedrooms, three with private bathrooms. This bathroom ratio, five bathrooms for five bedrooms, reduces morning congestion in a full house and supports use as a holiday rental. The plot is flat, which is relevant for construction and daily use alike: no stairs or slopes are needed to reach the pool, garden or tennis area from the house. Technical details such as the heating and cooling system, hot water provision, insulation values and window glazing are not specified in the available data. Buyers are advised to request the technical file, the renovation invoices and the corresponding certificates during due diligence, as the quality of a 2020 build combined with a later renovation is otherwise difficult to assess from descriptions alone.
The asking price is fixed at €1,499,950. This is an existing, key-ready home completed in 2020 and fully renovated, so there is no price list or range of units as with new-build developments. At 256 m² of living space on a 725 m² plot, the price reflects the detached format, the five en-suite-oriented bedrooms and the walking distance to the beach. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the current owner's situation; the transaction timeline depends on the standard Spanish purchase process. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start considerably lower, from roughly €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, but those are apartment-style developments rather than detached villas of this size.
Daily life at this villa is organised around its coastal position and its outdoor space. The source description states the beach is about a one-minute walk away and the centre of La Cala de Mijas roughly ten minutes along the boardwalk, which makes the sea a routine part of the day rather than a destination requiring a car. Mornings can begin with a swim in the private pool or a walk along the shore; the swimming season in the area runs about five months with water temperatures of 20°C or above, while the annual average temperature of 18.5°C keeps the garden and tennis area usable across most of the year. The ground floor works as a self-contained living zone with a living-dining room, kitchen and one en-suite bedroom, useful for households with limited mobility among their members or for guests who prefer ground-floor accommodation. The first floor holds four bedrooms, three en suite and one using a shared bathroom, a layout that suits a family or a group of visiting guests. The immediate neighbourhood is well served: within 2 km there are 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, a supermarket mentioned in the description, banks and pharmacies. A tennis court is close by, and sports facilities such as the Polideportivo de La Cala (0.6 km straight-line) and Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (2.4 km) are nearby. The area has a tourism presence, 10 hotels and around 2,131 beds, which means the neighbourhood is noticeably busier in summer than in the quieter winter months.
The villa lies about 1.6 km as the crow flies from Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, with the source description indicating roughly a one-minute walk to the beach and ten minutes along the boardwalk to the centre of La Cala de Mijas. Everyday amenities are concentrated within 2 km: 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, 2 pharmacies, 6 banks, a supermarket and a school. This density means that shopping, dining and errands do not require a car. The wider surroundings offer a wide range of leisure options. Three beaches lie within about 2 km of each other, El Torreón, Las Doradas and La Butibamba. Golf is well represented, with El Chaparral at 1.7 km straight-line, Cerrado del Aguila at 2.1 km and Santana Golf & Country Club at 3.4 km. For racket sports, the Polideportivo de La Cala (0.6 km), Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (2.4 km) and Miraflores Tennis Club (2.8 km) are all close. Healthcare is available through 2 health centres in the area, and education through 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider municipality. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid local property market rather than a dormant one.
The map shows the villa's position relative to the beaches of La Cala de Mijas, the town centre along the boardwalk, and the surrounding golf courses and sports facilities. Marbella lies 18 km west and Fuengirola's train station 6 km east. All distances are straight-line; road routes may be longer.

La Cala de Mijas occupies a central position on the Costa del Sol, between Fuengirola to the east and Marbella 18 km to the west, with Málaga and its airport 34 km and 24 km away respectively (straight-line). This mid-point gives the villa roughly equal access to the marinas and towns of both directions while retaining the scale of a coastal village rather than a city. Within Mijas municipality, La Cala is the coastal hub, distinct from the white village of Mijas Pueblo in the hills. The location combines village-level amenities, schools, health centres, supermarkets, with the leisure infrastructure more typical of larger resorts, including three golf courses within 3.5 km.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances can be longer. The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, is 1.6 km away, with the description citing a one-minute walk to the shore from the house. Marbella lies 18 km away and Málaga 34 km, both reachable via the coastal A-7/N-340 corridor. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 24 km straight-line, a drive of roughly half an hour depending on traffic; Gibraltar airport is 72 km away. Public transport consists of 4 lines with 50 stops in the area, which covers local movement along the coast, though a car remains the most practical mode for regional trips. The nearest train stations are Fuengirola at 6.0 km and Carvajal at 10.0 km straight-line; from Fuengirola, the Cercanías line runs to Málaga and the airport. Marinas at Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Fuengirola (6.5 km) serve boating interests. The beach path involves a moderate gradient of about 3.4%, meaning the walk to the sea involves a gentle incline rather than a flat route.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures between 14°C and 26°C, with an annual average of 18.5°C, a typical Mediterranean coastal profile with mild winters and warm but not extreme summers. The swimming season lasts about five months, with sea temperatures of 20°C or higher, roughly from late spring into early autumn. The villa stands at 55 m above sea level, low enough that the 3.4% gradient to the beach is moderate rather than steep, a notable difference from hillside locations in Mijas where slopes of 10% or more are common. For residents, this means outdoor use of the pool, garden and tennis area is realistic for most of the year, and that the coastal walks along the boardwalk are comfortable in all seasons. The nearby viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas (1.2 km) and the beaches within 2 km provide accessible natural surroundings without needing the car. Summers bring the seasonal tourism associated with the coast; outside the high season the area reverts to a quieter residential rhythm.

Three beaches lie within about 2 km of the villa: 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 measured in a straight line. This clustering of sandy beaches within walking and short cycling distance is one of the defining characteristics of the location and supports the beach-oriented lifestyle the source description emphasises. Golfers have three courses within 3.5 km: El Chaparral Golf Club (1.7 km), Cerrado del Aguila Golf (2.1 km) and Santana Golf & Country Club (3.4 km). Racket sports are equally well served, with the municipal sports centre at 0.6 km, a padel club at 2.4 km and Miraflores Tennis Club at 2.8 km, in addition to the tennis area on the plot itself. A public swimming pool, Piscina Bellavista, lies 2.5 km away. For waterside recreation beyond the beach, the marinas of Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Fuengirola (6.5 km) offer berths, dining and nightlife. The area's tourism infrastructure, 10 hotels with about 2,131 beds, brings seasonal activity to bars and restaurants, busiest in July and August and quieter in the winter months.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies the mid-to-upper segment. The fixed asking price of €1,499,950 sits well above new-build apartment projects in the region: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in the same municipality of Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those developments, however, are apartment-style products; a direct comparison with a detached villa of 256 m² on a 725 m² private plot with five en-suite-oriented bedrooms is only partially valid. Per square metre, the villa's asking price works out at roughly €5,860, which for a detached, beach-walking-distance property in central Mijas Costa is within the range observed for comparable coastal villas between Fuengirola and Marbella. The location is a key differentiator: within Mijas municipality, coastal plots within a one-minute walk of the beach are scarce, as much of the newer villa stock in Mijas sits inland or on the hillsides of La Cala Golf and Mijas Golf, several kilometres from the sea and with steeper gradients than the 3.4% recorded here. Compared with Estepona and Torre del Mar, La Cala de Mijas offers a more central position on the coast: Marbella at 18 km and Málaga airport at about 24 km straight-line are both closer than from either of those towns. The local market records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating steady demand and reasonable liquidity for resale. Buyers weighing this villa against new-build alternatives should consider that a completed, renovated 2020 property avoids the phased delivery risks of off-plan purchases, while forgoing the developer guarantees and modern energy standards that newer projects may carry, a trade-off that should be assessed through a technical survey.
