The Meadows is a residential development of 72 semi-detached townhouses situated within the La Cala Golf urbanisation in Mijas, Málaga. The project is currently under construction, with an indicative completion date scheduled for the final quarter of 2026. Each property comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a total constructed area of 208 square metres distributed across three levels, including a private basement. The development occupies an inland position elevated approximately 111 metres above sea level, offering views over the surrounding golf courses and the Mijas valley. Properties are listed with a starting price of €641,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is positioned within the La Cala Golf Resort complex, characterised by its tertiary-use environment centred around golf and leisure facilities. This is an inland, car-dependent location where daily amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies are situated at distances exceeding 5 kilometres. The setting is defined by its proximity to three 18-hole golf courses, with the nearest tee approximately 428 metres from the development perimeter.
The townhouses are configured to support permanent or long-term residency requirements, featuring an energy rating of A and infrastructure compatible with year-round habitation including pre-installation for air conditioning. The inclusion of a private basement provides adaptable square footage suitable for use as a leisure room, gymnasium, or additional storage. With three bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, the layout addresses the spatial needs of family units or households requiring dedicated guest accommodation.
Construction is being executed by Taylor Wimpey España in accordance with current Technical Building Code (CTE) regulations. The structural system employs reinforced concrete pillars and slabs with thermal insulation compliant with energy efficiency standards. As of the available data, the project is in the construction phase with phased delivery expected by Q4 2026. Purchasers acquiring at this stage acquire contractual rights to a property yet to be completed, subject to standard building guarantees.
This development does not offer immediate proximity to coastal amenities; the nearest beaches are situated over 6 kilometres away requiring vehicular transport. There is no private swimming pool included with individual units; pool access is limited to the communal facility. The hillside topography of the La Cala Golf resort may present gradient challenges for persons with reduced mobility. Public transport connectivity is limited, necessitating private vehicle ownership for practical residence.

This project presents a coherent fit for buyers whose primary motivation for a Spanish property centres around golf or a quiet, managed community environment. It is functionally suited to those who value space and privacy over walkable urban density. The three-bedroom configuration and 208 square metres of space address the needs of families requiring separate sleeping areas or couples who regularly host guests for extended periods. The location is less appropriate for individuals who do not drive or who wish to walk to restaurants and shops daily. Similarly, those seeking the immediacy of a beachfront lifestyle—where the sea is visible from the window—will find the 6-kilometre distance a significant compromise. The development fits a profile of a secondary or retirement residence for those seeking a calm environment with secure boundaries, rather than a high-traffic holiday let in a bustling tourist centre. The advanced construction phase also suits buyers who are comfortable with a completion timeline of approximately two years, allowing for capital release and planning.
According to the Report of Qualities, the build specification employs a reinforced concrete structure with insulated footings. The thermal envelope is addressed through external wall systems utilising sprayed polyurethane insulation and laminated plasterboard with rock wool, designed to meet the demanding 'A' energy efficiency rating. External carpentry consists of Strugal aluminium profiles in a RAL 8014 brown finish with double glazing, providing acoustic and thermal insulation. Internally, the finish palette is consistent, utilising Saloni Byblos Sand porcelain stoneware (90x90 cm) for main flooring and matching anti-slip variants for terraces. The choice of a continuous floor material throughout the living areas creates visual cohesion. Internal carpentry includes armoured entrance doors and melamine-finished internal doors (Finsa Cambrian Oak Sega), which offer a durable surface suitable for rental use or year-round occupation. The installation of motorised roller blinds in bedrooms indicates an attention to light control and heat management. Kitchens are delivered fully fitted, though specific appliance brands are subject to the developer's final procurement.
The pricing structure for The Meadows commences at €641,000 for a three-bedroom townhouse. This price point positions the development in the mid-to-upper segment of the Mijas market when compared to other nearby projects such as Arosa (from €490,000) or Señora Gardens (from €499,000). The premium associated with this specific location is attributable to the immediate integration with the La Cala Golf facilities and the larger plot sizes associated with townhouse developments versus apartments. As construction is ongoing, availability exists across various phases, allowing for selection regarding orientation and specific plot positioning. The final purchase price will be contingent upon the specific unit selected and any optional extras or furniture packs chosen post-contract.
The Meadows occupies a setting defined by its integration into a purpose-built golf resort rather than a traditional residential town or village. Daily life here is governed by the rhythm of a leisure-oriented community, where the primary external features are fairways, greens, and landscaped communal zones rather than street furniture or civic squares. The south-west orientation of the properties ensures exposure to afternoon and evening sunlight, which is a significant factor for outdoor terrace usage during the cooler months. The three-storey configuration, with the living area typically positioned to maximise connection to the garden and terrace, creates a clear separation between daytime and nocturnal zones. The private basement level introduces a variable spatial element that is not subject to the same natural light conditions as the upper floors, making it functionally distinct. Being situated in an inland, elevated position at 111 metres, the air temperature can differ slightly from the immediate coastline, potentially offering cooler evenings in summer. The necessity of a car fundamentally shapes the resident experience; a trip to a major supermarket or the beach is a planned event rather than a casual stroll, framing this location as one of deliberate retreat rather than spontaneous urban engagement.
Residing at The Meadows entails living within the specific boundaries of La Cala Golf Resort. The immediate environment is predominantly green, manicured space. The resort itself functions as a self-contained ecosystem with its own hotel, restaurants, and sports facilities. For daily necessities, however, one must exit the resort bubble. The nearest supermarket is located 5.5 kilometres away, which represents a drive of approximately 7 to 10 minutes. This distance reinforces the car-dependent nature of the location. Health services, including the nearest hospital, are situated 10 kilometres away, placing them within a reasonable driving distance but precluding immediate access on foot. The surrounding topology is hilly, characteristic of the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, meaning that walking within the resort is often undertaken on inclined terrain. The lack of extensive public transport links—only 8 lines servicing the wider municipality—reinforces that this is a location designed around private mobility.
The map situates The Meadows inland from the N-340 coastal axis, embedded within the golf resort infrastructure. Note the distance to the blue markers indicating coastal amenities, reinforcing the necessity of a vehicle for accessing the beach and town centres.
Mijas functions as a sprawling municipality that spans from the mountains to the sea. The Meadows is positioned in the intermediate zone, specifically within the La Cala Golf enclave. This location is distinct from Mijas Pueblo, the historic white-washed village situated higher in the mountains (430m elevation), which functions as the administrative and cultural centre. It is also distinct from La Cala de Mijas, the coastal strip which offers high-density tourism and beach life. The Meadows sits in a 'third space'—a residential leisure zone that is neither village nor beach. This positioning offers a compromise: cooler and quieter than the coast, yet more accessible and flat than the mountain pueblo. It serves as a midpoint between the urban intensity of Fuengirola to the east and the exclusivity of Marbella to the west.
Accessibility from The Meadows is defined by its position relative to the AP-7 and A-7 coast roads. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is located 24 kilometres away, translating to a drive time of roughly 25 to 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions, offering relative ease for international travel. The nearest train station is Fuengirola, situated 4.4 kilometres away, providing a rail link to the airport and Malaga city centre. Coastal amenities are accessible but not immediate. The Blue Flag beaches of La Cala de Mijas, such as Playa El Torreón and La Butibamba, are approximately 6.2 to 6.3 kilometres away. For golf enthusiasts, the primary amenity is immediate: Campo Europa lies just 428 metres away, with Campo Asia and Campo America also within a 1.1-kilometre radius. Marbella and Puerto Banús are accessible via the coast road in approximately 20 minutes for broader dining and retail options.

The climate data for this area of Mijas indicates an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, supported by approximately 3,744 hours of sunshine per year. The elevated position at 111 metres above sea level ensures the area is clear of coastal fog that can occasionally affect the immediate shoreline. The swimming season, defined by water temperatures at or above 20°C, extends for approximately four months, typically from June to September. However, the presence of a private garden and communal pool extends the outdoor living season well beyond the swimming window. The inland, valley-side location means evenings can be fresher than on the coast, a factor that may reduce the reliance on air conditioning during the night in the transitional months of May and October. The proximity to the Sierra de Mijas Natural Park provides a backdrop of natural, non-urbanised terrain, influencing the air quality and visual outlook.

While not a beachfront development, The Meadows is positioned within a 10-minute drive of the La Cala de Mijas coastline. This stretch of coast features five Blue Flag beaches, including Calahonda and El Chaparral, which are subject to rigorous water quality and safety standards. The primary recreational focus of the immediate location, however, is golf. La Cala Golf Resort is one of the largest golf complexes in Spain, hosting three 18-hole courses. This high concentration of golf infrastructure—averaging a course every kilometre—creates a distinct user profile for the area. For non-golfers, the resort offers tennis and paddle facilities, and the surrounding natural parkland provides terrain for hiking. The contrast between the manicured resort environment and the rugged natural park defines the recreational spectrum available to residents.

Mijas is a municipality in the Province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Located on the southeastern coast of Spain, Mijas belongs to the region of Costa del Sol Occidental. Its center is a typical Andalusian white-washed village, Mijas Pueblo, located on a mountainside about 430 metres or 1,476 feet above sea level, in the heart of the Costa del Sol region.

When analysed against comparable new-build developments in Mijas, The Meadows occupies a specific niche defined by its integration into a golf resort. Projects such as Altos del Chaparral (from €451,000) are also golf-oriented but situated closer to the coast, offering shorter distances to the beach. Arosa (from €490,000) presents a lower price threshold, generally associated with smaller apartment configurations rather than the townhouse format offered here. The Meadows differentiates itself through the sheer scale of the immediate golf amenity—three courses versus one—and the established infrastructure of the La Cala Resort, which includes a hotel and spa. The trade-off is price and location; the premium paid here secures the 'resort lifestyle' but at the cost of coastal immediacy. Señora Gardens, positioned at a similar price point (from €499,000), may offer more competitive square footage but lacks the on-site facilities of a dedicated golf complex. The Meadows thus appeals to a specific buyer profile: one for whom the golf course view and resort security outweigh the convenience of coastal living.
