Calahonda is a well-established part of Mijas Costa, set between Marbella and Fuengirola and just 20 minutes from both by car. It remains a favourite for families, retirees, and second-home owners thanks to its convenience, views, and broad range of property.
The area is largely self-sufficient, with its own shops, restaurants, beach bars, and local services. While nightlife tends to be quieter than in Puerto Banús or Benalmádena, that’s exactly what appeals to those looking for a more relaxed pace. English is widely spoken, and the community has a friendly, lived-in feel year-round.
Many people include nearby Riviera del Sol and Miraflores as part of the wider Calahonda area, as the zones merge almost seamlessly along the coast.
Calahonda is home to sun-drenched beaches, family-friendly facilities, and strong transport links. The terrain rises steeply from the beach, giving many properties on the upper slopes impressive panoramic sea views. There are also two golf courses within Calahonda itself — La Siesta</str
