Calahonda and surroundings
Calahonda is located straight in the middle of Costa del Sol. Most activities and interesting places that the Costa offers are available within a short drive. With only 10 minutes in car you reach Fuengirola or Marbella and the airport is only 30 minutes away. There are buses to Fuengirola and Marbella every 30 minutes.
Founded in 1963, Calahonda has had time to develop. You will find everything you usually need near your home. There are five small shopping centra, around 60 restaurants and bars, bakeries, grocery stores, butchers, banks, post offices, TV and computer repairs, hardware stores and more in the area.
To the delight of many inhabitants, there are no mega-hotels or discoteques here.
Since Calahonda is run as a macro-urbanisation (entidad urbanistica) you can be guaranteed a higher level of maintenance of gardens, parks, roads street lighting etc than on most other areas on the coast. Calahonda has their own employees for gardening and maintenance as well as a professional management team. There is also 24 hours security in the urbanisation.
To the east, Calahonda borders with Riviera del Sol. That is a fairly similar area that was established in the eighties.
Westward we find Cabopino. Cabopino has a wonderful golf course and a small marina with great restaurants. Nearby is also a nature reserve with untouched sand dunes by the Mediterranean.
Calahonda beach
Calahonda has got some beautiful beaches. Especially Luna Beach and Royal Beach have gained popularity as more people find their way to these quiet and natural beaches.
In 2014 the town hall started building a wonderful beach promenade that spans from La Cala de Mijas to Calahonda, totalling over 7 kilometres. This has been very welcomed among residents and tourists alike. You can now easily access parts of the coastline that was previously hard to get to. The stretch of coast between el Faro to Calahonda is classified as a marine protection area with abundance of fish and sea life. There are species from both the Mediterranean and Atlantic living here in a mix not found anywhere else. If you snorkel among the natural lava cliffs you will see shoals of fish, octopus, hermit crabs, and – if you are lucky – the occasional dolphin.
