Why Mijas Costa ?

Posted October 20th, 2010 by admin

Mijas Village might be an image of serenity and tradition, however the sun drenched coast of Mijas Costa with fantastic sandy beaches and fun water sports are what this beautiful resort in Spain is all about these days. The La Cala beaches of Mijas Costa have been awarded the “Blue Flag” as among the best in the province, and are geared to provide action: jet skiing, water skiing and parasailing are all on the go. The restaurants along the shore serve excellent Spanish food and many serve up Tinto de Verano - a mix of red wine and fizzy water.

Mijas covers two major ubanisations… Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol: Calahonda is very English with many pubs, karaoke, british doctors, imported foods in the shops etc.  The Riviera del Sol attracts many European folk into its large commercial centre with bars and grocery store and restaurants scattered around. 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.

All of the above has ensured that Europeans looking to slow down in life are selecting the Mijas Costa as holiday homes or a retirement location with their national newspapers available before 9am in the shops and the latest in hospital care with their new development 15 minutes south towards Marbella.

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.

Mijas is a location travelled to during the whole year.  The climate is such that you will be able to enjoy Mijas Villas spanish styling of seamless indoor / outdoor lifestyles which has made the Costa del Sol so popular for so many years. Travelling around is easy to do and the famous towns of Marbella, Torremolinos and Pureto Banus are nearby.  The kids have lots to do, we are minutes from Tivoli World, the Fuengirola Zoo, Sea Life and then of course the wonderful beaches and splash parks

Renting Mijas Villas is probably the best way to stay in Mijas Costa as it affords you the views, space and luxury base to enjoy the many delights this beautiful location on the Costa Del Sol has to offer.
