Villa in Mijas

This Beachfront Villa sits right on the sand, with nothing but open sea stretching before you. The centerpiece? A heated saltwater pool that practically blends into the horizon. Inside, the design plays up those ocean views every chance it gets. As you step through the main entrance, a sleek powder room greets guests, but your attention will go straight to the spacious living room. Here, sunlight hits the quartzite floors and carries your eyes out through wide windows, framing the water in every direction.

Flanking the living room, you'll find two bedroom suites—each with floor-to-ceiling views and private access to the terrace and pool. Both spaces feel secluded, but there's a sense of connection too, thanks to sliding glass doors that let the sound of the sea drift in. Tucked behind the living space, there's a third ensuite bedroom, along with a high-end kitchen that's ready for anything from lazy breakfasts to lively dinners.

The Costa del Sol stretches from Nerja to Sotogrande, with Marbella as its residential heart. The combination of 320 days of sun, international schools and good air connections via Málaga makes it the most established region for Northern European buyers. Prices are more stable than on other costas and the market is transparent.
