The Meadows, La Cala Golf: frontline golf townhouses in Mijas
Three-bedroom townhouses with a private garden and basement at La Cala Golf Resort, energy rating A. Completion planned for November 2026.
Last updated: 20 October 2026
About The Meadows
Golfers who would rather have a house with stairs and a garden than an apartment will feel at home at The Meadows. The development has 26 three-bedroom townhouses in a gated part of La Cala Golf Resort, right on the course and looking out over the Mijas valley. In our data the cheapest home costs €650,000 and the larger version €680,000. According to our data the development will be completed in November 2026, so this year.
Each home is built over three levels, with its own basement that you can use for storage, as a hobby room or as extra living space. The ground floor holds the open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen. There are two layouts, one of them with a bedroom downstairs. The first home has 208 m² built, of which 130 m² usable, 2 bathrooms and a 47 m² terrace. The second has 250 m² built, 150 m² usable, 3 bathrooms and a 72 m² terrace. Every home has a private garden and a parking space.
The homes face south-west, which means long hours of sun on the terrace in the afternoon and evening. Residents share a pool and landscaped gardens within the gated community. On top of that you have the resort itself: three 18-hole golf courses, a four-star hotel with spa, restaurants, a golf academy and pitches and courts for tennis, padel and football.

The Meadows in figures
In our comparison this is the cheapest new build per m² in Mijas. With a median of €2,922 per m² you are 41% below the median for new builds in the municipality (€4,984, 55 developments) and 21% below resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026). Bear in mind that the basement is probably included in the built area, which brings the price per m² down. For the €650,000 home you pay around €734,600 all in: €65,000 VAT, €7,800 stamp duty, €3,900 notary and €7,900 lawyer. The biggest advantage is timing: completion in 1 month, whereas the median in Mijas is 14 months.
| Price | € 650.000 |

Location
La Cala Golf Resort lies inland in Mijas, between the Sierra de Mijas and the coast at La Cala, at an altitude of around 97 metres. It is a large golf resort with villas, apartments and a hotel, and it has an atmosphere of its own: green, quiet and very much focused on sport. You are not living by the sea here, nor in a village. If you want to eat out in the evening, you drive to La Cala de Mijas or stay within the resort.
Day to day, you will need a car. The beach at La Cala is a 17-minute drive away, St Anthony's College 14 minutes. Allow 25 minutes to reach the A&E at Hospital Costa del Sol. Fuengirola town centre is 25 minutes away, Marbella old town 31 and Puerto Banús 36. Málaga airport is 46 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. The Meadows sits at around 97 metres above sea level.
According to the description, you look out over the golf course and the Mijas valley. There are no sea views. The homes face south-west, so you get evening sun on the terrace.
Homes and finishes
The homes have energy rating A, the highest level, and come with photovoltaic solar panels. There is full air conditioning, a reinforced front door, and shower screens and mirrors in every bathroom. The kitchen is delivered fully fitted and equipped. Another source mentions that the basement offers underground parking with direct access to the home. Because the development is almost finished, you can see the finishes with your own eyes. We visit the home beforehand and help check the snagging list at handover.
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 The Meadows through Privé.

Our honest verdict on The Meadows
Strengths
- Cheapest new build per m² in Mijas, 41% below the municipal median.
- Almost ready to move into: completion planned for November 2026.
- Energy rating A with solar panels, so low energy bills.
- On the golf course of a resort with three 18-hole courses.
- Private garden, terrace of up to 72 m² and your own basement.
Points to consider
- No sea views, and the beach is a 17-minute drive away.
- Málaga airport is 46 minutes away, further than for developments on the coast.
- Built and usable areas differ widely; the basement is probably included.
- The developer's text mentions February 2027 for phase 1; get the completion date confirmed.
- Without a car you are limited here; the shops are outside the resort.
Who is The Meadows right for?
The Meadows suits golfers and families who want a house with a garden and basement and would like to enjoy it soon. Anyone looking to let a property to golf groups will also find a logical fit here. It is less suitable if you want to look out over the beach, if you fly back and forth often and want the airport close by, or if you are after lively coastal living.

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.
