Mijas Golf is one of the Costa del Sol’s most established and well‑regarded golf residential areas, located just inland from the coastal resorts of La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola. Developed around two 18‑hole championship courses – Los Lagos (The Lakes) and Los Olivos (The Olive Groves) – this purpose‑built community has attracted golf enthusiasts, families, and retirees for decades. Unlike some golf developments that feel isolated, Mijas Golf benefits from its proximity to the coast, with beaches, shops, and restaurants just a five‑to‑ten‑minute drive away. The setting is serene: gently rolling fairways, mature pine and olive trees, lakes, and views towards the Mediterranean and the Sierra de Mijas.
The residential offering at Mijas Golf is predominantly low‑rise apartments, penthouses, and townhouses, most of which were built between the 1980s and the early 2000s, with a handful of newer developments adding contemporary options. Many properties enjoy direct views over the fairways or the lakes, and most are within easy walking distance of the two clubhouses. The atmosphere is peaceful and secure, with a strong international community. Mijas Golf appeals to buyers who want a dedicated golf lifestyle – with two excellent courses on the doorstep – but who also value easy access to the coast, Málaga Airport (25 minutes), and the amenities of Fuengirola and La Cala.
Mijas Golf is located within the municipality of Mijas, approximately two kilometres inland from the Mediterranean coastline, between Fuengirola to the east and La Cala de Mijas to the west. It sits just north of the AP‑7 motorway and the A‑7 coastal road, with dedicated access via the MA‑24. Málaga Airport is a 25‑minute drive, and Marbella is 20 minutes west.
Why Choose Mijas Golf
Choosing Mijas Golf means selecting a tranquil, nature‑rich environment where the fairways are your front garden. The two courses – Los Lagos, known for its water hazards and lush vegetation, and Los Olivos, a tighter, tree‑lined layout – offer variety and challenge for players of all levels. The area is quiet, safe, and well‑maintained, attracting a mix of active retirees, families, and golf holidaymakers. Property prices at Mijas Golf are significantly lower than comparable golf developments on the New Golden Mile or in Benahavís, yet the quality of life is exceptional. The proximity to the coast means you are never far from beaches, supermarkets, international schools, and healthcare. For those who want to live on a golf course without paying Marbella premiums, Mijas Golf is an outstanding choice.
Prime Location
Mijas Golf occupies a prime inland position with excellent road connections. The AP‑7 motorway (exit for Fuengirola / Mijas Golf) is just a few minutes south, providing rapid access to Málaga Airport (25 minutes), Marbella (20 minutes), and Estepona (35 minutes). The A‑7 coastal road runs parallel, offering a slower route to the beaches and resorts. Fuengirola’s town centre and train station (with direct links to Málaga city) are a ten‑minute drive. La Cala de Mijas, with its promenade and restaurants, is also ten minutes away. The courses themselves are a short walk from most residential complexes.
Real Estate in Mijas Golf
The property market at Mijas Golf is diverse, with options to suit different budgets and lifestyles. Apartments are the most common, typically two- or three-bedroom, with built areas ranging from 70 to 150 square metres. Many have large terraces, and upper‑floor units (penthouses) often feature roof terraces with sea or mountain views. Ground‑floor apartments may offer private gardens that open onto the fairways.
Townhouses are also popular, usually with two or three levels, small private gardens, and sometimes communal pools. Detached villas are rarer but can be found on the periphery of the golf courses, offering larger plots and more privacy.
Many properties have been renovated or updated in recent years, bringing modern kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes to older stock. Newer developments have introduced contemporary architecture, energy efficiency, and amenities such as gyms and saunas. Prices per square metre at Mijas Golf are among the most competitive for golfside properties on the Costa del Sol, offering exceptional value for fairway living.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Life at Mijas Golf revolves around the two courses. Los Lagos is the more famous of the pair, designed by Robert von Hagge, with water coming into play on many holes. Los Olivos, designed by José María Cañizares, is a tighter, more technical course. Both have their own clubhouses with restaurants, bars, pro shops, and practice facilities. Residents often walk or take a golf cart from their homes to the first tee.
Beyond golf, the area is quiet and residential. A small commercial centre adjacent to the courses includes a supermarket, cafe, and a few restaurants. For a wider choice, Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas are a short drive away, offering hundreds of restaurants, beachfront chiringuitos, and the Fuengirola Zoo. The large Miramar shopping centre in Fuengirola provides cinema, fashion, and dining.
Healthcare is well covered, with the Mijas Health Centre in Las Lagunas (ten minutes), the private Hospital Xanit in Benalmádena (15 minutes), and several clinics in Fuengirola (ten minutes). International schools, including St. Anthony’s College, The British College of Benalmádena, and the bilingual school in Fuengirola, are all within a 15‑minute drive.
For families, the nearby Fuengirola water park and adventure attractions are popular, as are the beaches of La Cala and Los Boliches.
