This renovated penthouse in La Cala Hills, Mijas Costa, offers a high-quality living experience with 118 m² of living space and a generous 104 m² terrace. The property has recently undergone a full modernization, from floors and bathrooms to the kitchen and bedrooms. Situated in a tranquil, rural environment, the development combines the peace of the Andalusian hinterland with proximity to amenities and the coast. The penthouse features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living concept that seamlessly extends to the outdoor areas, including a glass-enclosed sunroom.
Compared to Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, offered from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this penthouse in La Cala Hills is positioned in a higher price bracket (€675,000). This can be attributed to the specific, recently completed renovation and its location in Mijas Costa, a region known for its established golf resorts and more exclusive residential environments. Alba Benalmadena, with a starting price of €598,000, is closer in price but situated nearer to the coast and urban centers of Benalmádena. La Cala Hills, conversely, offers a more rural and tranquil setting, appealing to residents who prioritize serenity and proximity to golf, with the coast still within a reasonable driving distance. The 118 m² of living space and the generous 104 m² terrace provide substantial outdoor area, contributing to its value compared to apartments with less external space. The complete renovation ensures a move-in ready condition, which can justify the price difference compared to less recently modernized properties.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Living in La Cala Hills means enjoying the quiet of the countryside, while the bustle of the coast is just a few kilometers away. Its inland location, at 61 meters above sea level, provides views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. Daily necessities are accessible, but a car is essential to fully utilize the regional opportunities.
This penthouse is designed for those seeking comfort and space in a serene setting. The layout with an open living room, three bedrooms, and a large terrace with a sunroom offers flexibility for families or those who enjoy hosting guests. The recent renovation ensures a move-in ready home, ideal for those who wish to immediately embrace the Spanish lifestyle without renovations.
Although the property is marked as 'ready,' it has recently been fully renovated, guaranteeing a modern and move-in ready condition. The communal areas, such as the gardens and swimming pools, are part of the existing infrastructure of the urbanization. The buildings were repainted in 2023, contributing to their well-maintained appearance.
The development is located inland, meaning direct beach access on foot is not feasible. A car is necessary for most movements, including shopping and visiting restaurants or golf courses. While there are public transport stops nearby, public transport is more limited than in coastal areas.
This penthouse in La Cala Hills suits buyers seeking a peaceful lifestyle away from the immediate coastal hustle, yet within reasonable distance of amenities.

Families or couples desiring a spacious, move-in ready home with ample outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment will appreciate it. The recent renovation makes it attractive to those looking for a 'turn-key' solution. The necessity of a car for daily commutes, shopping, and accessing beaches or larger towns aligns with a lifestyle that embraces car mobility. It is also an option for those seeking a second home that is comfortable year-round, partly thanks to the sunroom and the opportunity for outdoor living.
The property has undergone a complete renovation, with all aspects renewed. This includes new flooring, modernized bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen now in open connection with the living room. Internal doors and wardrobes in all bedrooms have also been updated. The open-plan kitchen with direct access to the terrace creates a bright and airy living space, enhanced by the presence of a fireplace. The master bedroom features a modern en-suite shower room, and a second shower room serves the other two bedrooms. A separate utility room with a washing machine and dryer is also provided. The emphasis is on a high level of finishing, resulting in a move-in ready and comfortable home.
