Buying in Mijas: market, streets, prices and available properties.
Mijas holds a particular place on the Costa del Sol. The area has kept a human scale, with planted streets, generous plots and a real share of year-round residents. This placeholder text will be replaced by the final copy.
The property offer is varied: family villas from the nineties under renovation, recently delivered contemporary projects, and a few apartments in gated schemes with gardens and security. Buyers come as much for the services nearby as for the view.
Practically speaking, international schools, clinics and Málaga airport remain within reach. Everyday shops are minutes away, which matters for a main residence as much as for a well-run seasonal rental.
We follow this area daily: direct mandates, off-market properties, and an honest reading of price per square metre depending on the street, the orientation and the real condition of the building.

Frequently asked questions about Mijas
- Are Mijas Pueblo and Mijas Costa comparable?
- No, Mijas Pueblo is a whitewashed mountain village at around 430 metres altitude, with characterful houses and panoramic coastal views, while Mijas Costa comprises newer coastal areas such as La Cala de Mijas, more oriented towards apartment complexes and golf. Prices differ accordingly, with the coast generally more expensive per sqm than the village.
- What is the price per square metre in La Cala de Mijas?
- In 2025-2026, a newer flat in La Cala de Mijas generally trades between 3,000 and 5,500 €/sqm, considerably more affordable than Marbella while still close to the beach and several golf courses. Villas in developments near the coast generally start around 600,000 €.
- How far is Mijas from Málaga airport?
- From Mijas Costa, allow around 25 to 30 km and 25 to 35 minutes via the AP-7 motorway, making it one of the best-placed residential areas on the entire Costa del Sol relative to the airport. Mijas Pueblo, being higher up, adds around 10 to 15 minutes of mountain road.
- Is Mijas Pueblo touristic or residential?
- The village receives significant daytime tourist footfall, including organised excursions from coastal resorts, but also has a sizeable permanent resident population, both expatriate and Spanish. The atmosphere becomes markedly quieter in the late afternoon and outside the spring and summer months.
- Are there many golf courses in Mijas?
- The municipality has several well-regarded courses, including La Cala Golf with its three 18-hole layouts and Mijas Golf, contributing to steady demand for golf-oriented villas and flats, particularly among British and Scandinavian buyers. This dense golf offering remains more affordable than that of Nueva Andalucía or Sotogrande.
- Is tourist letting common in Mijas Costa?
- Yes, La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda have a large stock of second homes let out in summer, with gross yields often quoted between 4 and 7 percent for a well-located two-bedroom flat. A VFT licence remains mandatory for any short-term letting, as everywhere in Andalusia.
