A Mijas Villa Hideaway
Mijas Village might be an image of serenity and tradition, however the sun drenched coast of Mijas Costa with fantastic sandy beaches and fun water sports are what this beautiful resort in Spain is all about these days. Awarded the blue flag for being the best in the provence, Mijas Costa boasts a great safety record for its water sports: Sailing, canoeing, jet skiing and water skiing can be found daily. You can always enjoy a good meal in Mijas Costa (pronounced ‘Mihas’) after enjoying your day with excellent seafood and tinto de verano, a local speciality served in restaurants like Chiringuito for instance.
Mijas covers two major ubanisations… Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol: The former is informally known as the English village in Spain and the place to come for karaoke, second hand shops, British doctors and dentists, Indian restaurants, imported foods and, naturally enough, a plentiful choice of pubs. The nearby Riviera del Sol is similarly inviting and popular among foreigners, particularly the large commercial centre with its bar, telephone booths and grocery store combined. Mijas Costa has lots of pretty coves and beaches, lovely Mijas Villas styled with Spanish influence to ensure the area stays picturesque.
Mijas Costa also boasts some of the coast’s more famous golf courses including La Cala Resort. Mijas’ neighbouring golf hotspot, it is the largest golf complex in Spain with 3 full courses: Campo América, Campo Asia and Campo Europa. This beautiful 1,000-acre complex is only a short distance from the Sierra de Mijas Natural Park, and includes property with apartments, homes, villas and a luxury hotel.
All of the above has ensured that Europeans looking to slow down in life are selecting the Mijas Costa as holiday homes or a retirement location with their national newspapers available before 9am in the shops and the latest in hospital care with their new development 15 minutes south towards Marbella.
We have an abundance of good quality sports and recreation facilities both in and around La Cala de Mijas. The tennis club “Club del Sol” welcomes all comers as does the Lawn bowls centre at Miraflores. There are gymnasiums, dive centres and virtually every outdoor activity within minutes of the village with competition standard Golf Courses scattered all around the perimeter of Mijas.
The location of Mijas can be enjoyed throughout the year. Renowned for being warm with shallow breezes Mijas’ climate is perfect for enjoying the indoor and outdoor lifestyle of living particularly in the open plan Mijas Villa styles. Not far away are the towns of Marbella, Fuengirola, Puerto Banus and Torremolinos for getting out and about. Sea Life and splash parks will keep the kids happy.
Renting Mijas Villas is probably the best way to stay in Mijas Costa as it affords you the views, space and luxury base to enjoy the many delights this beautiful location on the Costa Del Sol has to offer.
