The property holds a tourist rental licence and is currently let during the summer months. The asking price is fixed at €1,749,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in the Mijas Golf area, a residential zone known for its two golf courses and its proximity to the Spanish-style community of Puebla Aida. Mountain and countryside views define the setting. La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola are each around fifteen minutes away by car, while La Zambra Hotel & Spa lies roughly 1.5 km from the property. Málaga city, with its airport and train connections, sits within easy reach of the wider region.
The layout serves households that value both togetherness and privacy. Five bedrooms are distributed across split levels: two share a bathroom on the first half-flight, the master suite has an en-suite bathroom and a large private terrace, and two further bedrooms with a bathroom and laundry room occupy the lower level. The entrance floor combines an open-plan kitchen and living room with direct terrace access leading to the pool.
This is an existing home completed in 2003 rather than a new-build development, offered on a key-ready basis. The property is in good condition according to the listing data and comes with installed climate systems, including central air conditioning for both heating and cooling, central heating and a fireplace. The villa holds a tourist rental licence and is currently rented out during the summer months.
The property does not offer sea views; the outlook is towards the mountains and surrounding countryside. The multi-level layout involves several half-flights of stairs, which affects step-free accessibility between areas. As an existing 2003 build, the finishing and technical installations reflect that period rather than new-build standards. The listing notes no communal facilities; the pool is private. No information is provided about a lift or accessible bathing facilities.

Several situations align with what this property offers. A family needing five bedrooms with genuine separation, the lower level alone provides two bedrooms and a bathroom, gains flexible accommodation for children, guests or live-in relatives. Households that regularly receive visitors benefit from the guest toilet, the multiple terraces and the private pool without depending on shared facilities. Buyers seeking a second home with income potential will note the existing tourist rental licence and the current summer rentals, which demonstrate demand in this location. The Mijas Golf setting suits those whose leisure time centres on golf, walking and a quieter residential environment rather than beachfront living. The property also fits buyers who prefer a move-in-ready home with established systems over a new-build purchase, accepting that a 2003 construction carries the layout and finish of its era. Conversely, the profile fits less well for buyers requiring single-level living throughout, given the multiple half-flights of stairs, or those for whom sea views and walking distance to the beach are essential. A car is part of daily life here: La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola are roughly fifteen minutes away by road, so access to the coast, shopping and services depends on driving.
The villa dates from 2003 and is listed in good condition. The construction follows the typical Andalusian residential standard of that period, with a stone-accented exterior and gated entry shown in the property photographs. Climate control is the strongest technical feature: central air conditioning provides both heating and cooling, supplemented by central heating and a fireplace, giving three separate heating options for the cooler months. All bedrooms are fitted with electric blinds, a practical detail for a holiday home left unoccupied for periods. The interior layout centres on an open-plan kitchen connected to the living room, a configuration that was standard for family villas of this generation and remains functional for modern use. The split-level design distributes the five bedrooms and three bathrooms across distinct zones, each with its own character and privacy. Externally, the property includes a private swimming pool with illumination, a lawn area, a spacious garage and open parking for several vehicles. The terraces run along the front of the house and wrap around the master suite, extending the living area outdoors for much of the year given the regional climate. As with any home of this age, buyers are advised to have the technical installations, heating, air conditioning, electrics and pool equipment, inspected independently to assess remaining lifespan and any modernisation needs.
The asking price is fixed at €1,749,000 for the property as a whole; this is an existing home, not a development with a price list. The price reflects a completed, key-ready villa built in 2003 with 393 m² of living space on a 1,050 m² plot, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool and a garage. The property is currently rented during the summer months under an existing tourist rental licence, which is a relevant factor for buyers calculating a combined pattern of personal use and holiday letting. Viewing availability and the exact rental calendar can be confirmed through the selling agent. Running costs for a property of this size typically include community arrangements, local taxes and pool maintenance, details of which should be verified during the purchase process.
Daily life in this villa revolves around its layered layout and the garden that connects the interior to the pool. Mornings can start on the front terrace, which runs along the entrance level and offers both sunny and shaded sections throughout the day. From there, steps lead down to the illuminated private pool and lawn area, which doubles as an evening space once the pool lighting is switched on. The split-level structure gives each part of the house a degree of independence: the master suite, half a flight above the two guest bedrooms, has its own terrace, while the lower level with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry room functions almost as a self-contained zone. This arrangement suits households that alternate between full occupancy and quieter periods, as well as buyers planning seasonal rental use. The villa's orientation across multiple compass directions means different terraces capture sun at different times of day. Practical elements support the day-to-day routine: a garage plus parking space for several cars, electric blinds in every bedroom, and a guest toilet on the main living level. The setting is residential and green rather than urban, so the rhythm here is calm, with golf courses and forest nearby and the busier coastal towns a short drive away.
Life around Mijas Golf is defined by its two golf courses and the green belt between the coast and the mountain foothills. The Puebla Aida community, visible from the villa, is a Spanish-style village development that is illuminated in the evening, adding a distinctive visual backdrop to the mountain and countryside views. La Zambra Hotel & Spa is roughly 1.5 km away, providing a nearby option for dining, wellness and spa facilities. The area sits within the wider Mijas municipality, which records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. Amenities are concentrated in the surrounding towns: La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola, both approximately fifteen minutes by car, cover day-to-day needs including supermarkets, schools, healthcare and the full range of coastal services. The villa's setting close to forest and golf means the immediate environment stays quiet, with nature walks available directly from the doorstep area. For households with children, the listing notes proximity to schools. Public transport coverage is limited in this residential pocket, so a car is part of the daily routine for most residents, a common pattern for golf-side properties along this stretch of the Costa del Sol.
The map shows the villa in its golf-side setting at Mijas Golf, between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas, with the Sierra de Mijas rising behind. The marker position illustrates the balance between a quiet green residential area and the coastal towns roughly fifteen minutes away by car, a classic Costa del Sol configuration where golf, mountain and sea sit within one drive.

Mijas Golf occupies a transitional position between the coastal towns of Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas and the mountainous interior of the Mijas municipality. Marbella lies roughly 47 km along the coast to the west, and Málaga city sits to the east within the wider metropolitan reach, with Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 7 km away as the crow flies. This places the villa in the central band of the Costa del Sol, with access to both the resort towns of the western coast and the cultural and transport infrastructure of the provincial capital. The setting trades direct beach proximity for greenery, golf and mountain views.
The property's position between Mijas and Fuengirola places both towns within a fifteen-minute drive, covering beaches, shopping and services. La Zambra Hotel & Spa is around 1.5 km away, and the golf courses of Mijas Golf are on the doorstep. Along the coastline, beaches such as Playa de San Andrés, Playa de la Misericordia and Playa de los Baños del Carmen lie at 1.5 km, 2.9 km and 4.1 km respectively as the crow flies, though actual road distances from the villa are longer given its inland position. Golf options in the wider area include Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 7.9 km straight-line, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 9.2 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 10.7 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 7 km as the crow flies, making flights straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport lies roughly 103 km away. Train connections run from Málaga María Zambrano station, about 0.2 km from El Perchel station. Parking is not a concern at the property itself, with a garage and space for several cars. Note that all distances stated here are straight-line figures; road travel takes longer.

The region records an average annual temperature of 18.9 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 27 °C in summer, a profile that keeps outdoor living practical for most of the year. The swimming season lasts around five months, during which sea water stays at or above 20 °C, and the villa's private pool extends that window further since it does not depend on sea temperatures. Elevation in the surrounding area is low, around 13 metres above sea level, and the terrain near the coast is gentle, though the villa's position towards the foothills means some natural slope in the garden and surroundings. Sunshine hours in this part of Andalusia rank among the highest in Spain, which matters directly for the terraces: the property's multiple orientations allow sun to be found or avoided at any time of day. The proximity to forest adds walking routes and greenery to the daily environment, while the mountain views frame the horizon to the north. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half of the year, keeping summer months dry and stable for outdoor use and rental occupancy.

The villa sits in a golf-first location rather than on the beachfront, and recreation nearby reflects that. The two courses of Mijas Golf are the primary leisure asset within walking or short driving distance, and additional clubs, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 7.9 km straight-line, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 9.2 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 10.7 km, extend the options for regular players. Beaches lie a short drive away on the coast: Playa de San Andrés at 1.5 km and Playa de la Misericordia at 2.9 km as the crow flies, with the road distance somewhat longer from the villa's inland position. Marinas including IGY Málaga Marina at 1.2 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 1.6 km straight-line offer mooring and waterfront dining options. The area also counts numerous restaurants, cafés and sports facilities within a two-kilometre radius, along with wellness centres such as the Centro Wellness at 0.4 km and Dreams Nova Fitness Club at 0.7 km straight-line. The private pool and illuminated garden provide daily recreation at home, independent of season or membership.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a different segment from the new-build developments typically marketed along the coast. Comparable new projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar start from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all considerably lower entry prices, but for apartments or smaller units in early-phase developments rather than a completed five-bedroom villa on a 1,050 m² plot. Buyers comparing these options are effectively weighing a finished, generously sized existing home against smaller new construction with modern specifications and developer payment structures. The Mijas location itself is a middle position on the coast: closer to Fuengirola and Málaga than Estepona, and generally more residential than Marbella's resort core some 47 km west. The villa's tourist rental licence is a distinguishing asset in this comparison, since many new-build communities restrict holiday letting, and the current summer rentals provide documented occupancy. Median provincial income of €16,450 and roughly 3,800 annual housing transactions in the wider municipality indicate an active market with steady turnover, relevant for eventual resale considerations. Set against apartments at a quarter of the price, this property addresses a specific buyer profile: those seeking space, a private pool, golf-side living and income potential in a single title, rather than a low-entry investment unit.
