A new build two-bedroom apartment in a residential community in La Cala de Mijas, 1.5 km from the beach. 112 m² with a 28 m² terrace, two bedrooms, two bathrooms. This sits in the middle of the two-bedroom range in the development — comfortably above the entry sizes, without the premium of the largest units. For a couple, a holiday property or a letting unit, it is the version where the price and the space line up most sensibly. A private parking space and a storage room are included rather than charged on top, which is worth checking when comparing new build on this coast. Specification: fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, fully installed ducted air conditioning, reinforced security entrance door, and energy-efficient systems with an A rating. The A rating is what keeps the cooling bills reasonable in July and August. The communal facilities are resort standard and the strongest part of the offering: landscaped gardens, outdoor swimming pools, a modern social lounge, a fully equipped gym, an elegant coworking space and a spa. La Cala de Mijas is a real town rather than a holiday strip — sandy beaches, golf, good restaurants and a centre that keeps working through the winter. Shopping, supermarkets, healthcare and international schools are all close, with the A-7 and AP-7 for the rest of 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. Clear about it: at 1.5 km the beach is a walk or a short drive and there is no sea view at this level. What the money buys is new build, parking, storage, efficiency and a serious set of shared facilities. 112 m² built plus a 28 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.
