 Covering an area of 600,000 square metres, Calahonda, situated between Marbella
and Fuengirola, is one the largest and most prestigious property developments along
the Costa del Sol. The development is a self-contained community, consisting of three
commercial/shopping centres, countless restaurants and bars, four golf courses and a
fitness centre. Well-spaced villas, apartments and townhouses are the only type of
property to be found on the development, making this a prime location in which to
invest in Spanish property on the South Coast.
Adding to Calahonda's appeal is its own strip of beachfront which winds down the
shoreline in a sinuous fashion for around 4,300 metres. The beach is located on the
opposite side of the N340 highway from the main Calahonda development, and has
some prime beachfront property scattered along its length too. Pine groves separate
the beach from the highway, dulling the noise of the highway traffic as well as
making for a very scenic backdrop. The sand on the beach itself is a beautiful golden-
yellow colour.
The design and surroundings of Calahonda are very pleasing to the eye. The founder
of Calahonda envisioned the community as being a blend of idyllic rural and coastal
living. This is very evident in the profusion of 'green' areas in and around the
development, as well as the large plots and spacious living areas associated with many
of the properties in Calahonda.
The Calahonda development is well connected to facilities outside of the community
too. Private primary and secondary schools are located within a short distance of the
development, and the globally recognised English International School is just some
10-minutes drive away. Nursery school facilities are located in Calahonda itself, while
there are state-fund Spanish schools located in neighbouring Cala de Mijas.
Medical and hospital facilities are easily accessible, the local hospital being located a
short two-minute drive from Calahonda. There is also a wide range of sporting
facilities close to the development. Water sports are well catered for and there are an
additional six golf courses to add to the four already within the development, all
situated within 10km of Calahonda.
Calahonda property is a good investment for people looking for an income property or
a second home on the Costa del Sol. Prices are reasonable, with one-bedroomed
apartments available from around €120,000 euros. A two-bed villa in Spain on the
Calahonda development with a south-facing aspect is likely to set you back in the
region of €250,000 euros to €350,000 euros. Being situated on the Costa del Sol, close
to the famous Marbella resort, Calahonda property value is only going to increase
over time. Everyone who invests in Spanish property in this area now is likely to
make a good return on their capital within the next five to ten years.
