About Bahia
No cranes, no two-year wait. Bahia in Calanova Golf is complete, which makes it an exception among the new builds in Mijas. What is still for sale in our data is two second-floor penthouses with sea views. You can view them exactly as they are, with the real view and the real neighbours, and move in or let them out as soon as the deeds are signed.
The two-bedroom penthouse costs €495,000. It has 116 m² built, two bathrooms, an 88 m² terrace and a 70 m² solarium above it. That totals 158 m² of outdoor space, more than the home itself. The three-bedroom penthouse costs €595,000, also 116 m² built, with an 81 m² terrace and a parking space. Both have energy rating B. Note: in our data no parking space is listed for the cheaper penthouse, while the project description says every home has one. We will find out for you.
Bahia has 108 homes in 6 buildings and is fully gated. Half look out to sea, the other half over Calanova golf course and the Mijas mountains. According to another source, the sea-view buildings face south-west and the others overlook holes 12, 13 and 14. Residents share tropical gardens, a pool, a gym, a social room and a coworking space. Another source also mentions a sauna and security.

Bahia in figures
Bahia's most striking figure is its outdoor space. With a ratio of 103% outdoor to indoor, this development scores better than 96% of the new builds we track in Mijas. Per m² you pay a median of €4,698, 6% below the median for new builds in Mijas (€4,984, 55 developments) but 26% above resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026). The €495,000 penthouse will cost you around €559,440 all in: €49,500 VAT, €5,940 stamp duty, €3,000 notary and €6,000 lawyer. The third bedroom costs €100,000 extra, while the built area stays the same. That deserves a critical look at the plans.
| Price | € 495.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 49.500 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 5.940 |

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 96% of new developments in Mijas. Largest outdoor space: 158 m².
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 55 new developments in Mijas and the average asking price of resale homes in Mijas according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Calanova Golf lies in the hills behind La Cala de Mijas, at around 65 metres above sea level, around an 18-hole golf course with a clubhouse and restaurant. It is a quiet, green urbanisation of mainly apartment complexes, chosen by golfers and by people who prefer to keep the bustle of the coast a few minutes away. La Cala de Mijas itself is a coastal village with a promenade and beach restaurants and, according to another source, is around a 5-minute drive away.
Day to day, you notice you are in the hills: La Cala beach is an 11-minute drive away, or 40 minutes on foot. The nearest supermarket is 9 minutes by car. Marbella's old town is 24 minutes away, Puerto Banús 28 and Fuengirola town centre 20. Allow 38 minutes to Málaga Airport. The A&E department of Hospital Costa del Sol is 21 minutes away.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:00 on 21 June and sets at 21:40, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Bahia sits at around 65 metres above sea level.
Both penthouses in our data have confirmed sea views. Within the development, roughly half the homes look out to sea and the other half over the golf course and mountains; on a viewing you see straight away what you get.
Homes and finishes
The penthouses are finished, so you can judge them for yourself beforehand. According to other sources, they feature large double-glazed windows, built-in wardrobes, an open fitted kitchen, air conditioning and an alarm. The duplex penthouses have their own solarium. With a completed home, we focus on the practical side: do the installations work, are there signs of damp or finishing defects, has the building's initial handover been completed, and how high are the community fees in the owners' association's actual budget.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Bahia through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Bahia
Strengths
- Completed and key-ready, so no construction risk and no deposits without a home.
- Up to 158 m² of outdoor space, better than 96% of new builds in Mijas.
- Confirmed sea views from both second-floor penthouses.
- Price per m² 6% below the median for new builds in Mijas.
- 18-hole golf course with clubhouse within the urbanisation itself.
Points to consider
- The beach is a 40-minute walk away; you need a car for almost everything.
- Both penthouses have 116 m² built, despite a difference of one bedroom.
- No parking space is listed in our data for the €495,000 penthouse.
- With 108 homes, you share the facilities with many neighbours.
- Only two homes on our list; the choice is limited.
Who is Bahia right for?
Bahia is ideal if you do not want to wait: buyers who want to enjoy next winter here or let straight away. Golfers are in the right place, and if you love outdoor living, a terrace and solarium this size give you more space than most villas. Less suitable if you want to live without a car or are looking for a ground-floor home with a garden.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.
