Mijas Costa is one of the most practical and popular parts of the Costa del Sol for international buyers. It combines beaches, residential areas, golf courses, shopping, schools, transport connections and everyday services within easy reach.
For buyers considering Laguna One in Las Lagunas de Mijas, understanding Mijas Costa is essential. The area is not only about holidays and beaches — it is also a year-round place to live, work, invest and enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle.
A Practical Base on the Costa del Sol
Mijas Costa is the coastal and urban side of the municipality of Mijas. It includes areas such as Las Lagunas, La Cala de Mijas, Calahonda and Riviera del Sol. This makes it very different from Mijas Pueblo, which is the traditional whitewashed village located higher in the mountains.
The main advantage of Mijas Costa is balance. Buyers can enjoy the beach, golf, restaurants and international lifestyle while still having access to supermarkets, healthcare, schools, shopping centres and transport connections for daily living.

Where Is Mijas Costa?
Mijas Costa sits between Fuengirola, Marbella and the inland areas of Mijas. From Las Lagunas, where Laguna One is located, buyers have quick access to Fuengirola, shopping centres, beaches, golf courses and the A-7/AP-7 road connections.
Travel times are approximate and depend on traffic, season, exact address and route. Buyers should always check real driving times from the exact property location.
Air Temperature, Sea Temperature and Sunshine
