The Costa del Sol region

Calahonda has excellent road connections with access to the motorway leading to Malaga, Marbella city centre, Estepona and Gibraltar.
The climate is described as a micro climate as the area is so well sheltered by the mountains which surround the Costa del Sol.

The beaches along this coast are safe and within a few minutes drive of the villa. You will find many shops, bars and restaurants within a short walk. The busy and contrasting resorts of Fuengirola and Marbella are both a fifteen minute drive and are popular for shopping and nightlife.

Known locally as Costa del Golf, this area has in excess of 40 golf clubs to choose from and so is a golfers paradise. You are sure to find what ever you are looking for, whether it is variety or a course to suit your ability. Santa Maria and Santa Clara courses are both within a few minutes drive. You can either play a round of golf or simply use the driving range. The well known golf clubs at La Siesta and Cabopino are also close by as is Puerto Cabopino, which is also famous for its very attractive marina, stylish restaurants and fabulous beach with attending life guards and First Aid hut.

The famous Costa del Sol racecourse is just a twenty minute drive away, for those who enjoy a flutter, alternatively there are casinos in Marbella and another a little further in San Roque.

There are a number of excellent go karting and quad-biking facilities within a short drive. Also water skiing, para-sailing, and other water sports activities plus tennis and paddel facilities are also close by.

The Club del Sol is only 5 minutes away and offers tennis, squash, racket ball, and a gym.
Across from the Club there is a 9 hole golf course. Another tennis club, The Azrtec Club, is situated in Riviera which is a five minute drive or a 30 minute walk. There are excellent facilities available there including a gym with a variety of high quality exercise classes and personal training, activity club for the kids during the summer months, football sessions for the kids every Sat and Sun plus during the week in term time, mini-golf, restaurant, pool and bars and of course tennis coaching and court hire. You can rent all of your equipment there at a nominal fee. There are also a number of mixed social tennis sessions available. Peasae check the notice board in the villa for further details.

The nearest Ski resort is at Sierra Nevada which is a two hour car journey from Calahonda.

For the kids the excitement of Aqualand in Torremolinos or the Mijas Aquapark in Fuengirola and Tivoli Amusement park in Benalmadena are approx a fifteen minute drive away. There is a wonderful Wildlife Safari Park, Selwo Adventura, in Estepona and in Fuengirola there is a tastfully designed modern zoo. In Benalmadena you will find Selwo Marine Animal Park with daily dolfin shows and just opposite is a beautiful public park with a lake and plenty of birds and animals and play equipment to keep the children busy for the day. You can either bring a picnic or use one of the cafes in the park, but don't forget to bring bread to feed the birds and the fish. Dolfin sighting boat rides with underwater viewing windows and fishing trips go from Fuengirola frequently each day. For those who have a head for heights, you can take a cable car ride to the top of the mountain from Benalmadena ( just opposite Tivoli World) where you will find Birds of Prey shows at certain times of the day whilst you enjoy the fabulous view.

La Cala de Mijas is a recommended local beach resort which also has a twice weekly street market. The beachfront fish restaurants and its attractive paseo make it very popular with the locals and holidaymakers alike.

If you enjoy street markets then a visit to Puerto Banus Saturday market is a must. It is approx a twenty-five min drive away but get there early, it can be extremely busy. There are many other markets in the towns dotted along the coast, check the free English local paper (Sur) for this and other useful information. Sur is available free from supermarkets on Fridays but supplies may be limited so get in there early.

Plaza Mejor near Malaga has an excellent outlet mall with Nike, Levi and Calvin Klein and many other major brands as well as a huge food court and a cinema showing some of the latest releases in English speaking movies. You can also catch the latest releases in English in Parque Miramar in Fuengirola. This is a relatively new shopping centre with a hypermarket, variety of shops, places to eat and a large cinema. Take the second exit to Fuengirola just after the castle, drive under the road and the Miramar Centre is straight ahead. Again check the local Sur paper for details.

The villa has good access for reaching Malaga, Gibraltar and other inland beauty spots such as Mijas, Monda, Rhonda and the beautiful city of Seville. You have a choice of the toll road (AP7) or the N340 which is the coast road.

Ladies can even do a bit of clothes shopping as there are a couple of nice boutiques in the centre or visit the salon for some beauty treatments. There is also a new Supersol with underground parking just off the big roundabout at the end of Av de Espana heading towards the AP7 called Los Olivos.
McDonalds is situated on the other side of the N340 towards Calahonda beach and has a children's play area, if you go look out for the free child tickets to Selwo Adventura, Selwo Marina and Telerifico in the Happy meal boxes.
Heading out of the cul-de-sac where the villa is situated onto Avenida de Espana, cross the road and to your left is a small children's park with swings and slides.
You can take a ride on the "local transport" through the entire development of Calahonda from outside Supersol Supermarket. It is a tractor in disguise which pulls carriages, similar to the form of transport used in Disney and Universal parks. Just ask the driver to let you off by the Atlantic Aparthotel which is close to the entrance of the cul-de-sac.

“beautiful villa” My family and I stayed here for a week in August . What a beautiful, clean and spacious villa, in a quiet area . The pool was a great hit with the children as was the games room , The people where friendly in the local bars and restaurants, Ana from property finders was especially kind and helpful, nothing was to much trouble her . The local market in mijas on wednesday was a good morning out , take your towels and relax on the beautiful beach afterwards. We didnt hire a car instead we used the local taxi service which was excellent and reasonable plus they didnt have any trouble finding the villa! or take a 30 min stroll along the beach to the harbour, where there is another beautiful beach taxi cost 7 euros back overall a great place and excellent holiday

“Lovely villa and grounds.” We had a truly fantastic holiday at this villa. We had great fun in the pool and the games room was a big hit with the family. The grounds were well kept, the villa was very clean, well equiped and in a quiet location that was not overlooked The location was up a hill and a car was needed although there were some local small shops within a 5/10 minute walk. The only thing missing was Wi-Fi/internet. We hope to go back again in the future.

“Nice house with large pool and garden” stayed a week with 6 adults and 4 kids aged 3-11. Nice large house with 5 bedrooms that all had individual bathrooms. Large patio where there we had all meals - there was also a covered area that could be used if it rained. The kids enjoyed the garden and pool, which was both larger than in other similar houses that we have rented before. Also, the table tennis in the games room was a big success. We really enjoyed our stay.
