Forget the serenity of Mijas village and look toward the marvellous Mijas Costa with great sand, sun and a plthora of water sports Awarded the blue flag for being the best in the provence, Mijas Costa boasts a great safety record for its water sports: jet skiing, water skiing and parasailing are all on the go. Be sure to check out the Chiringuito (beach restaurant) charm here too, where you can sample a variety of Spanish seafood eaten with the favourite holiday drink, tinto de verano – ordinary red wine topped up with carbonated water, either regular or lemon-flavoured.

Mijas covers two major ubanisations… Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol: English in essence is Calahonda with all things British; doctors, dentists, indian retsaurants, and pubs.  The nearby Riviera del Sol is similarly inviting and popular among foreigners, particularly the large commercial centre with its bar, telephone booths and grocery store combined. The Mijas Villas areas are marked by lots of pretty coves and beaches with the housing (urbanizations) behind. Most of the complexes are carefully designed to incorporate Spanish influence and care has been taken not to produce concrete monstrosities.

Mijas Costa also boasts some of the coast’s more famous golf courses including La Cala Resort. Mijas’ neighbouring golf hotspot, it is the largest golf complex in Spain with 3 full courses: Campo América, Campo Asia and Campo Europa. This beautiful 1,000-acre complex is only a short distance from the Sierra de Mijas Natural Park, and includes property with apartments, homes, villas and a luxury hotel.

This has helped to make the area a first choice for many wishing to retire away from the harsher climate of Northern Europe. Medical care is first class – the new Costa del Sol Hospital is no more than 15 minutes in the direction of Marbella. English, German and French daily newspapers are in the newsagents each morning before 9am.

We have an abundance of good quality sports and recreation facilities both in and around La Cala de Mijas. The tennis club “Club del Sol” welcomes all comers as does the Lawn bowls centre at Miraflores. There are gymnasiums, dive centres and virtually every outdoor activity within minutes of the village with competition standard Golf Courses scattered all around the perimeter of Mijas.

The location of Mijas can be enjoyed throughout the year.  Renowned for being warm with shallow breezes Mijas’ climate is perfect for enjoying the indoor and outdoor lifestyle of living particularly in the open plan Mijas Villa styles. Within easy striking distance of La Cala de Mijas are the famous town names of Puerto Banus, Marbella and Torremolinos & Fuengirola.  Sea Life and splash parks will keep the kids happy.

With Mijas being located relatively close to Malaga Airport, renting or buying villas in Mijas makes sense as it is convenient to travel here from many other area destinations and is well worth the trip.
