Best Mijas holiday apartments

The small town of Mijas, despite its favourable location on the Costa del Sol, has been spared the mass tourism that characterises so many seaside resorts on the Andalusian coast. Our apartments in Mijas are located in an old Andalusian mountain village, which has preserved its own character and historical townscape to this day. Whitewashed houses, medieval churches and Moorish architecture characterise the city centre, and your private holiday home in Mijas is an ideal starting point for excursions through the winding alleys of the historic old town. From here you can explore Mijas with the donkey taxi or the horse cab and make excursions to the beaches of the seaside resorts Fuengirola and Benalmádena. You can also find out about Apartments in Fuengirola a few kilometres south of Mijas.

Apartments in Mijas: visiting an Andalusian mountain village

The old mountain village of Mijas can look back on a long history whose origins date back to prehistoric times. Many important cultures have left their traces in Mijas, so during your stay you can discover the remains of a prehistoric fortress, Moorish residential areas and archaeological finds from the Greek and Roman periods. The biggest attraction of Mijas, besides the typical Andalusian old town, is the view, because the village is 428 metres above sea level despite its proximity to the sea. From here, one can overlook the surrounding Costa del Sol and even see Gibraltar. While the cosy restaurants and tapas bars of Mijas are rather quiet, the neighbouring cities Torremolinos and Benalmádena are known for their vibrant nightlife. From the discos and clubs of the beach promenades to the trendy bars in the city centres, there is something for everyone. With your private accommodation, you can enjoy the legendary nightlife of the Costa del Sol to your heart’s content and, in contrast to couchsurfing in Mijas, you can still retreat to your own apartment at any time. For a golf holiday you will also find a holiday apartment in Calahonda southwest of Fuengirola. Here you do not only live directly at the sea, but also in a true golf paradise with five courses in the closer environment. Especially the Cala Golf & Country Club with its dream location in the middle of orange and avocado plantations is one of the most beautiful courses in the region.

Private accommodation in Mijas and the seaside resorts of the Costa del Sol

Mijas lies at the foot of the Mijas mountain range of the same name. In the higher altitudes you will find a landscape rich in species, which stands in refreshing contrast to the often built-up coastal regions of the Costa del Sol and offers the best conditions for outdoor activities. If you make an excursion from your apartment in Mijas to Benalmádena, you will also get an impression of the mountain landscapes around Mijas with their country houses and pine forests. From an accommodation in Marbella you can also reach the Sierra de las Nieves National Park in just half an hour, with an impressive landscape of limestone cliffs and deep gorges.
