Living in Mijas Golf

Mijas Golf is the golf valley north of Fuengirola and Las Lagunas, laid out around two classic courses, Los Lagos and Los Olivos, with the Santana Golf course a short distance away. It is a quiet residential area of low-rise urbanisations among tree-lined streets and fairways, suited to those who want greenery, peace and space without moving away from the coast: the beaches and all of Fuengirola's amenities are about ten minutes away by car. The setting retains a stately air, with established communities, mature gardens and, from many homes, views over the golf course or the Sierra de Mijas.

Day-to-day life is simple: golf in the morning, shopping and errands in Fuengirola or at the nearby shopping centres, and peaceful sunsets on the terrace. Residents are a mix of European retirees, families looking for houses with their own plot and golf enthusiasts who spend long periods here. The link to the A-7 and AP-7 puts Marbella and Málaga Airport about twenty to twenty-five minutes away.

Buying property in Mijas Golf

The property on offer in Mijas Golf consists mainly of apartments and townhouses in complexes with pools alongside the courses, plus detached villas on generous plots. Because this is a mature area, the difference between a well-run comunidad (community of owners) and one with deferred maintenance shows in both the price and future resale value, so it is worth checking the meeting minutes and the condition of the communal areas. Mid-term rentals to golfers between October and May are an attractive extra for investors. At EVS PROPERTY GROUP we know the valley's complexes one by one, and we help you find the right home and negotiate with real local data.

Frequently asked questions about Mijas Golf

What is it like living in Mijas Golf if you don't play golf?

Very comfortable: the area appeals as much for its tranquillity and scenery as for the sport. Fuengirola is about ten minutes away for the beach, shopping and leisure, and the valley offers walks, the clubs' own sports facilities and a stable international community all year round.

Is Mijas Golf well connected?

Yes. The road out towards Fuengirola joins the A-7 and AP-7 within a few minutes, which puts Málaga Airport about twenty to twenty-five minutes away and Marbella a similar distance. For everyday needs, Las Lagunas and the nearby shopping centres are even closer.

What type of property is most common in Mijas Golf?

Apartments with terraces overlooking the golf course and townhouses in complexes with pools form the core of the market, alongside villas on generous plots for those seeking privacy. Resale dominates, in established urbanisations with fully grown gardens and tried-and-tested orientations, something hard to find in new-build areas.

How does the rental market in Mijas Golf perform throughout the year?

It has two strong seasons that complement each other. From October to May, demand comes from Northern European golfers booking stays of weeks or months, and in summer families looking for a pool and tranquillity near Fuengirola take over. If you opt for holiday rentals you will need the Andalusian VUT (holiday rental licence) number; for mid-term and long-term stays a good contract is enough. Combined annual occupancy tends to be very stable.

Can I buy property in Mijas Golf as a non-resident foreigner?

Yes, Spain imposes no restrictions on foreign buyers. You need an NIE (foreigner identification number), which takes a few weeks to process, and it is advisable to open a Spanish bank account for utilities. The purchase is signed before a notary and registered with the Registro de la Propiedad (Land Registry); with a power of attorney you can do everything without travelling. In Mijas Golf a large proportion of owners are British, Scandinavian and Belgian, so the process is very well established.
