A detached villa of 388 m² with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, located in the coastal town of La Cala de Mijas, in the municipality of Mijas, province of Málaga. Completed in 2006 and available key-ready, the property combines a main residence with a self-contained two-bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor. Features include a private heated pool with electric cover, sea views from the main living spaces and a south-west orientation. The asking price is fixed at €1,695,000. The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, lies approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in an urbanisation on the edge of La Cala de Mijas, a coastal town within the municipality of Mijas. Marbella lies 18 km away in a straight line and Málaga 34 km. El Chaparral Golf Club is roughly 1.7 km away, and the town's beaches, shops and restaurants are all within a short drive. The setting is residential rather than rural, with golf courses and coastal amenities nearby.
The property offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms across 388 m², arranged as a main house with four double bedrooms and a separate two-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and living room. A gym, games room, tennis court, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and multiple terraces support both permanent residence and use as a holiday home. The private heated pool allows year-round swimming.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006, offered key-ready and described as being in excellent condition. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to consider; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and occupation. Any modernisation or adaptation would be at the new owner's initiative and cost.
The property is a substantial villa rather than a low-maintenance apartment; running costs, pool maintenance and garden upkeep should be expected. There is no new-build warranty structure, as the house dates from 2006. Data does not specify plot size, garage details or community fees. The distance to the beach is approximately 1.6 km as the crow flies, so it is not a beachfront property.

Several recognisable situations match this property. A large or multi-generational family needing six bedrooms and six bathrooms, with independent space for guests or relatives in the lower-ground apartment, would use the full layout. Buyers relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol who want space, a pool for year-round use and proximity to schools and health centres in the Mijas area will find the location practical. Purchasers seeking a holiday home that can also accommodate extended family groups benefit from the dual-kitchen arrangement. Investors looking at holiday letting will note the reported rental history; this requires independent verification of accounts, licences and current regional regulations on tourist rentals. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a lock-up-and-leave apartment with low upkeep, given the garden, pool and overall size. It also does not suit those seeking beachfront living, since the sea lies approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies. Buyers who prefer new construction with modern warranties should note the 2006 completion date, although the condition is described as excellent. Finally, households without a car should consider that daily life here is easiest with one's own transport, despite the local bus network.
The villa dates from 2006 and is presented in excellent condition, with a modern kitchen featuring an island and black cabinetry as a visible indicator of recent updating. Interior photographs show bright bedrooms with large windows, in several cases with patio or sea-facing aspects, and fitted wardrobes throughout. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, complemented by covered terraces that offer shaded outdoor space during the hotter months. Technical and comfort features listed include satellite television, WiFi, a gym, a games room and a tennis court, indicating that the property has been equipped for extended family use and entertainment. The private pool is heated and fitted with an electric cover, a combination that reduces heat loss and operating cost while enabling swimming throughout the year, relevant given the five-month season during which sea temperatures exceed 20°C. External areas include flat lawned gardens and several distinct entertaining zones, both covered and open. As with any property of this age, buyers are advised to commission an independent technical survey to assess the state of the roof, installations, pool equipment and insulation, none of which is documented in the available data. Specific details such as plot size, garage capacity, building materials and energy documentation are not specified and should be confirmed during the purchase process. Overall, the finishing level appears consistent with a well-maintained villa that has been partially modernised rather than a fully renovated project.
The asking price is fixed at €1,695,000 for the entire property: a 388 m² detached villa with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a private heated pool, gym, games room, tennis court and guest apartment. This is an existing home, so there is no price list or unit variation; the figure quoted applies to the property as offered. The seller has indicated a price reduction with the aim of a relatively quick transaction. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees. The property has reportedly generated rental income as a holiday let, which is a track record to verify rather than a guarantee of future performance.
Daily life at this property revolves around a split-level layout designed for flexible use. The main floor holds a large square living room, a modern kitchen with island and the principal bedrooms, with the lower ground floor functioning as an independent apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a second kitchen and a living room. This separation suits households with guests, older children or staff, and it also enables dual-use letting strategies. The south-west orientation means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, which fits the Mediterranean pattern of outdoor dining and late daylight. Outside, the private heated pool with an electric cover extends the swimming season beyond the summer months, while flat lawned areas and several covered and open terraces provide distinct zones for daytime and evening use. The surrounding urbanisation is residential in character; the town of La Cala de Mijas, with its restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, banks and schools, lies close by, so shopping and daily errands do not require long journeys. A car remains the practical mode of transport for most trips, although local bus lines and fifty public transport stops serve the wider area. The villa's position roughly 1.6 km from the beach, as the crow flies, places the sea within a short drive or a moderate walk along a gradient of about 3.4 per cent. For a family, the combination of space, sports facilities on site, a gym, games room and tennis court, and proximity to international schools and health centres in the Mijas area shapes a year-round living pattern rather than a purely seasonal one.
La Cala de Mijas is a functioning coastal town rather than a purpose-built resort, which shows in the density of everyday amenities: within 2 km of the property there are 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, 2 pharmacies, 6 banks and a school. The wider municipality offers 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, and there are 2 health centres in the immediate area, supporting year-round residence as well as seasonal stays. The town's tourism infrastructure, 10 hotels with roughly 2,131 beds, creates seasonal activity without dominating daily life. Sports facilities are unusually close: the Polideportivo de La Cala lies 0.6 km away, Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila 2.4 km and Miraflores Tennis Club 2.8 km. Golfers can reach El Chaparral Golf Club at 1.7 km, Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 2.1 km and Santana Golf & Country Club at 3.4 km, all straight-line distances. The beaches of Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, Playa de Las Doradas and Playa de La Cala - La Butibamba lie between 1.6 km and 1.9 km away. The surrounding streets are residential, and the property's position on an urbanisation means a quieter setting than the town centre, roughly a kilometre from the shoreline viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas.
The map shows the villa's position on a residential urbanisation at the edge of La Cala de Mijas, with the town's beaches roughly 1.6 km to the south, El Chaparral Golf Club to the immediate west and open countryside inland. Marbella, Fuengirola and Málaga airport frame the wider area along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Cala de Mijas occupies a central position on the Costa del Sol, between Fuengirola to the east and Marbella to the west, the latter 18 km away in a straight line. Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 34 km to the east, and its airport roughly 24 km away. This places the villa within commuting or excursion range of the coast's two main employment and cultural centres while retaining the scale of a smaller town. Within the municipality of Mijas, La Cala is the coastal nucleus, complementing the white village of Mijas Pueblo further inland. The local housing market records around 3,800 transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid market by regional standards.
Accessibility is a strong point of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 24 km away in a straight line, making flights to and from northern Europe straightforward; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 72 km. Rail access runs through Fuengirola station, 6.0 km away in a straight line, on the Cercanías line to Málaga, with Carvajal station a further option at 10.0 km. Locally, four bus lines and fifty public transport stops serve La Cala de Mijas and the surrounding urbanisations, so day trips without a car are possible, though a vehicle remains the most practical option for shopping and school runs. By road, the A-7 coastal motorway and the AP-7 toll motorway connect the town westwards to Marbella, 18 km away in a straight line, and eastwards to Fuengirola and Málaga, 34 km away. Marinas at Puerto Cabopino (6.2 km) and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (6.5 km) provide berths and waterfront dining. All distances quoted are straight-line; actual road distances and travel times will be longer.

The climate data for La Cala de Mijas points to comfortable conditions for most of the year: average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.5°C. The sea reaches 20°C or warmer for about five months of the year, which defines the natural swimming season, one reason the villa's heated pool with electric cover is a meaningful feature, as it extends swimming well beyond those months. The town sits at a low elevation of 55 metres above sea level, so no significant climbing is involved in daily life. The gradient from the property towards the beach is approximately 3.4 per cent, moderate enough for most people to walk, with the caveat that straight-line distances understate actual walking routes. The south-west orientation of the villa maximises afternoon and evening sun, the pattern most valued for outdoor living on this coast, while also meaning summer afternoons on the terraces call for the shade of the covered areas. The nearby golf courses and greenbelt between urbanisations add open space to the immediate environment.

The villa lies within easy reach of three beaches: 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. La Cala's beaches form the town's recreational backbone, with chiringuitos and waterfront walks along the shoreline. Golf is the other major leisure draw: El Chaparral Golf Club at 1.7 km and Cerrado del Aguila Golf at 2.1 km are effectively neighbourhood courses, while Santana Golf & Country Club at 3.4 km adds a third option within minutes. Racket sports are covered by Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila (2.4 km) and Miraflores Tennis Club (2.8 km), and the villa itself includes a tennis court and gym on site. A public swimming pool, Piscina Bellavista, lies 2.5 km away. For days on the water, the marinas at Puerto Cabopino and Fuengirola, at 6.2 km and 6.5 km respectively, offer berths, boat trips and waterfront restaurants. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 1.2 km from the property, provides a local vantage point over the coastline.

At a fixed asking price of €1,695,000, this villa occupies the upper segment of the La Cala de Mijas market, and it is best understood against a different class of supply than the new-build comparables elsewhere on the coast. Projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) are apartment-style developments at price points several multiples below this property; they compete for buyers seeking low-maintenance holiday homes or entry-level investment units, not for buyers of large detached villas. What this property offers instead is land, volume and on-site facilities: 388 m² of living space, six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a private heated pool, a tennis court, a gym and a self-contained guest apartment, a package rarely reproducible in new apartment stock at any price point on this stretch of coast. Locationally, La Cala de Mijas sits centrally between Marbella (18 km) and Fuengirola, with Málaga airport roughly 24 km away. This centrality is a genuine differentiator against Torre del Mar further east and against parts of Estepona, which lie further from the airport. The town itself is residential and serviced, with schools, health centres and a year-round community, in contrast to more seasonal resort enclaves. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-offs: a 2006 build without new-build warranties versus modern construction; maintenance obligations of a villa versus the simplicity of an apartment; and a premium price justified by size, facilities and location rather than by novelty. For households whose priority is space and multi-generational use, the comparison with apartment developments is largely irrelevant; the relevant alternatives are other detached villas in Mijas, Marbella's outskirts and Estepona, where price per square metre and plot quality vary considerably and merit a like-for-like survey.
