A two-bedroom new-build apartment of 98 m² in a gated development in La Cala de Mijas. Worth knowing before you view: there is more than one two-bedroom unit of this size available in the building. They share the same layout, so what separates them is position — which floor, which aspect, how much sea you see and how the light falls through the day. If you are considering this one, ask to see the alternatives on the same visit. The difference is not on paper, it is on the terrace. The apartment itself is 98 m² on one level, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living area opening onto the terrace. Contemporary construction, designed around natural light, with the proportions of a home rather than a holiday let. The development is gated, with a swimming pool set among landscaped gardens and a fully equipped gym inside the complex. Both are the kind of facility that only gets used when it is on your side of the gate. La Cala de Mijas is a kilometre away and is the real reason to buy on this stretch. It is a town rather than a resort: a seafront promenade, good sandy beaches, restaurants that stay open through the winter, schools, a health centre and the everyday shops that make a place work in February. Fuengirola is ten minutes east, Marbella twenty west, and Málaga airport under half an hour — which matters if you are flying in for long weekends. Being new, the insulation, installations and glazing are current and under warranty. There is nothing to renovate and nothing to discover. 98 m² built. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, terrace, open-plan living, gated development with communal pool, landscaped gardens and gym, new build, 1 km from La Cala de Mijas beach.
