About Sunrise Golf Residences
Golfers looking in Mijas know La Cala Golf: an inland resort with several courses, well away from the bustle of the coast. Sunrise Golf Residences sits on the frontline of that resort. It is a small, gated complex of 48 apartments in four low-rise buildings of three storeys. In our data, prices start at €449,900 for a 2-bedroom apartment and rise to €652,900 for a 3-bedroom ground-floor apartment.
There are three types. The ground floor gives you the most outdoor space: the 3-bedroom ground-floor apartment has 131 m² built and a 77 m² terrace. On the first floor you will find the entry-level model, 107 m² with 2 bedrooms and a 32 m² terrace. At the top is the 2-bedroom penthouse, also 107 m², but with a 71 m² terrace. According to the project description, a private pool can be added to some of the ground-floor apartments and penthouses. Every home has 2 bathrooms, a parking space and a storage room.
What sets this development apart from many other golf apartments is its package of shared facilities. There will be two outdoor pools, one of them an infinity pool, and a wellness area with jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath and a hydrotherapy circuit. On top of that there is a gym, a coworking space and a gastrobar for residents. The development is still under construction and there is no show home. Completion is planned for March 2028.

Sunrise Golf Residences in figures
The median price at Sunrise Golf Residences is €4,984 per m², exactly the median of the 55 new developments in Mijas that we track. Compared with resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026), you pay 34% more, which is normal for a new build with this level of facilities. The €449,900 entry-level apartment costs you around €508,389 all in: €44,990 VAT, €5,399 stamp duty, €2,700 notary and €5,400 lawyer, together 13% on top of the price. The step from 2 to 3 bedrooms is steep: €203,000 more, although you also get a much larger terrace. Outdoor space is a real strength here anyway: the median is 59% of the built area. Completion is 17 months away, against a median of 14 months for other developments in the municipality.

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
La Cala Golf lies inland from La Cala de Mijas, in a green, hilly area between the coast and the mountains. The development sits at around 155 metres above sea level, which explains the view across the golf course towards the sea. According to other sources, the resort has three 18-hole courses and a golf academy, and nearby you will find tennis and padel courts and walking trails. It is quiet and residential here. For restaurants, beach clubs and the promenade you drive down to the coast at La Cala de Mijas, a village popular with international buyers.
In day-to-day life you will need a car. La Cala beach, El Torreón, is an 11-minute drive away; on foot it takes 84 minutes. St Anthony's College, an international school, is also 11 minutes away. Fuengirola centre is 21 minutes, Marbella old town 29 and Puerto Banús 34. The A&E department at Hospital Costa del Sol is 22 minutes away, Málaga airport 42.

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. Sunrise Golf Residences sits at around 155 metres above sea level.
All the homes in our data have sea views, out across the golf course. The project description mentions a south-east orientation; we check on the plan, home by home, what view a specific floor will get.
Homes and finishes
The apartments are delivered with an open-plan living and dining area and a fully fitted kitchen with appliances. Hot water and underfloor heating run on aerothermal energy, and there is pre-installation for home automation. The bathrooms come with furniture, mirrors and fixed shower screens. All three homes in our data have energy rating B. Because you are buying off-plan, we request the technical specifications and check that the costs and conditions of an optional private pool are set down in writing before you sign.
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 Sunrise Golf Residences through Privé.

Who is Sunrise Golf Residences right for?
This development suits golfers and anyone looking for a peaceful second home with plenty of outdoor space and wellness within the gates. Anyone working from home will also appreciate the coworking space. It is less suitable for those who want to walk to the beach every morning, want to live without a car or want the keys this year.
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.

- 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.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Sunrise Golf Residences
Is Mijas a good place to live?
Mijas is large and varied: a white mountain village, a busy coastal strip and quiet golf areas. Sunrise Golf Residences belongs to that last category. You live surrounded by greenery and calm, yet the beach and Fuengirola are 11 and 21 minutes away by car.
What does an apartment at Sunrise Golf Residences cost all in?
For the cheapest apartment at €449,900, allow around €508,389 including VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer. That is 13% on top of the purchase price.
How far is Málaga airport from Sunrise Golf Residences?
By our measurement, Málaga airport is a 42-minute drive. That is very doable for a long weekend from northern Europe, especially outside rush hour.
Can you add a private pool?
According to the project information, this is possible for a selection of ground-floor apartments and penthouses. We will find out for you exactly which homes qualify and what it costs.
