A new build two-bedroom apartment in a residential community in La Cala de Mijas, 1.5 km from the beach. 105 m² with a 26 m² terrace, two bedrooms, two bathrooms. For a two-bedroom this is a generous footprint: the rooms are large rather than numerous, and the terrace is big enough to furnish properly with both a table and seating rather than choosing between them. A private parking space and a storage room are included with the apartment. The build quality is current rather than basic: fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, fully installed ducted air conditioning, a reinforced security entrance door, and energy-efficient systems with an A rating. On a smaller apartment that rating has a disproportionate effect on the bills, since the fixed costs are a larger share of the total. The communal facilities are the reason to buy here rather than in an older block nearby. Landscaped gardens, outdoor swimming pools, a modern social lounge, a fully equipped gym, an elegant coworking space and a spa. With 105 m² inside, that shared space genuinely extends what you have. La Cala de Mijas works year-round, which is what separates it from the resort strips either side: sandy beaches, golf, good restaurants, and a town centre that does not shut in November. Shopping, supermarkets, healthcare and international schools are all nearby, and the A-7 and AP-7 connect quickly along the coast. Distances: beach 1.5 km, Calanova Golf Club 3 km, Fuengirola 10 km, Marbella old town 15 km, Puerto Banús 22 km, Málaga airport 35 km. Honest about it: two bedrooms at 105 m² is a couple's apartment or a holiday base, not a family home, and 1.5 km means the beach is a walk rather than a view. The strength here is the combination of size, specification and facilities for the money. 105 m² built plus a 26 m² terrace. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, ducted air conditioning, reinforced security entrance door, A energy rating, private parking space, storage room. Community with landscaped gardens, outdoor swimming pools, social lounge, fully equipped gym, coworking space and spa. 1.5 km from the beach.
