This project involves the sale of a large residential plot (Plot B8) within the La Cala Golf Resort in Málaga. With a surface area of over 42,000 m², this site offers space for the development of a boutique residential complex, surrounded by established golf courses and nature. The location is situated in a rural environment at approximately 95 meters above sea level, providing open views over the valleys and the golf course. The plot has an approved Preliminary Building Study (Estudio Previo) that utilizes a low population density, focused on privacy and tranquility. The distance to the coast is approximately 6 kilometers as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is located inland within the municipality of Mijas, specifically in the resort area of La Cala Golf. This environment is characterized by a hilly landscape with plenty of greenery and the presence of multiple golf courses (Campo Asia, América, Europa). The setting is quiet and rural, with direct access to the sports facilities of the resort. Despite the inland location, the coastal towns of La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola are within a short drive.
This project is primarily suitable for developers or investors seeking opportunity in creating luxury living spaces in a golf environment. The proposed villas are intended for residents who value privacy, quiet, and space. The distances to daily amenities such as supermarkets and medical care, however, require a certain level of mobility; the environment is less suitable for those relying on walking as their primary mode of transport. The site offers the possibility to live in a protected, gated community setting.
The plot has the status of Residential Plot and possesses an approved 'Estudio Previo' (preliminary building plan). This plan envisions a development of up to 44 detached villas, divided into four construction phases. Each phase has independent access and permits, allowing for phased development. The buildable volume is established at approximately 16,000 m². Since it is a plot, the buyer must plan the further steps for building permits and execution in accordance with local regulations.
The project is located in a rural, hilly environment. This means a car is essential for any movement; shops, beaches, and dining are not within walking distance. The immediate environment offers limited facilities; for extensive amenities, one must go to the nearby coastal towns. Although there is a sea view in the distance, the location is not directly on the beach. The plot requires a significant investment in development and infrastructure before habitation is possible.
This project suits a developer or investor looking to park capital in real estate with a longer horizon. The situation is suitable for someone with experience in construction projects who sees the value of a 'masterplan' in an area already popular with golfers and expats. It could also fit a group of private individuals looking to jointly create an exclusive, gated community project. For the eventual residents, this fits if one prefers the tranquility of the 'hinterland' over direct beach life, yet wants to maintain the connection with the coast.
The quality of the final homes is yet to be determined by the developer, as the plot is sold without the physical houses. The approved plan does impose requirements regarding integration into the landscape; the architecture must adapt to the slope of the terrain. This offers the possibility to choose high-quality materials fitting the Mediterranean style, such as natural stone and sustainable insulation. The infrastructure of the plan (private roads, parking, common green) must be constructed according to the standards of an exclusive resort.
The asking price for the plot is €7,500,000. This is a purchase price for the land excluding construction costs. The price reflects the size of the terrain (42,311 m²) and the development opportunities offered by the approved plan. Given the location in an established golf resort and the scarcity of large building plots in this area, the investment is seen in the higher segment. There is no variation in housing types as with apartment complexes; the value lies in the potential for the development of 44 villas.
Living in this location means residing in a green, quiet environment where golf and nature are central. The morning often begins with views of the golf course and mountains, with much privacy due to the space between the planned homes. Due to the elevation at 95 meters, there is often a pleasant breeze and less humidity than directly on the coast. Daily life here is focused on outdoor living: spacious terraces, gardens, and many hours of sunshine. It is a place for those seeking an 'escapade' from the hustle of the coast, but who wish to keep the amenities of the Costa del Sol within reach.
The environment is dominated by the La Cala Golf Resort, one of the most extensive golf complexes on the Costa del Sol with three 18-hole courses (Asia, América, Europa). The immediate surroundings are green and hilly, ensuring a lot of privacy. At a short distance (approximately 5-6 km as the crow flies) are the beaches of La Cala de Mijas and the marinas of Cabopino and Fuengirola. The proximity to Fuengirola (about 8-9 km) ensures that urban amenities such as shopping centers, hospitals, and a wide range of dining are accessible within a 15-20 minute drive.
The map shows the location of Plot B8 (SUP.R-15) sandwiched between the golf courses Campo Asia, América, and Europa. The green surroundings and the elevation differences are clearly visible. The distance to the coastline and the airport is indicated to illustrate accessibility.
La Cala Golf is situated in the hills of Mijas, strategically positioned between Marbella (west) and Fuengirola/Málaga (east). This position makes it a central hub for the region. It is not as chic as Marbella, but offers a more exclusive feel than the busy coastal strip of Fuengirola. It is a 'best of both worlds' location: rural and quiet, but with quick access to the modern amenities of the coastal cities.
Málaga Airport is located approximately 24 km away as the crow flies, which translates to a travel time of 25-30 minutes by road. The coast (AP-7) and the national road (A-7) are easily accessible via the local road structures around Mijas. The nearest beach (La Cala) is 5.9 km away. For daily groceries, the nearest supermarket is located 5.1 km away. Public transport is limited in presence; a car is necessary. There are two public transport lines in the area, but these mainly serve connections between the larger towns and not direct frequent passenger transport to the resort.

The location enjoys a microclimate typical of the Costa del Sol, with an average annual temperature of 17.9°C. With historically 3,881 hours of sunshine per year and a swimming season of 4 months, outdoor life is possible for most of the year. The altitude of 95 meters above sea level ensures air circulation, making the heat in summer less oppressive than on the coast. The environment is dry and mountainous, characterizing the vegetation as Mediterranean forest and planted golf greenery.

Although the project is located inland, the beaches of La Cala de Mijas (Playa de La Cala - La Butibamba and El Torreón) are within a 10-minute drive. These beaches often have 'Blue Flag' status and offer beach bars and water sports. For sailing enthusiasts, the marina Puerto Cabopino at 6.5 km distance is an interesting location. The recreational focus of the location itself, however, lies on golf; with three courses right next to the plot, this is the primary leisure activity in the immediate vicinity. There are also sports centers such as Raquetas de Mijas in the nearby area.

Compared to other development sites on the Costa del Sol, this project offers a balance between tranquility and accessibility. Projects like 'Arosa' in Mijas are located in more densely populated neighborhoods, whereas this plot offers the space of a resort. In comparison to 'Waterfall Residences' in Fuengirola, there is a more exclusive, lower density here and a larger piece of land. The asking price of €7,500,000 is significantly higher than that of apartment complexes in the city, but this reflects the scale and potential for detached homes with gardens in a desirable golf environment.
