Riviera del Sol ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY LIVING BETWEEN GOLF AND SEA

What is Riviera del Sol?

Riviera del Sol is one of the most established residential communities on the Mijas Costa stretch, sitting between Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas. The urbanisation has been here since the 1970s and has matured into a settled, well-maintained neighbourhood with its own commercial centre, community swimming pools, and a strong sense of identity.

The area wraps around Miraflores Golf Club, which acts as a green lung at the heart of the community. Properties range from affordable apartments in well-kept complexes to larger villas and townhouses with golf or sea views. The terrain is hilly, which means many homes enjoy elevated perspectives over the coast, and the architecture is a mix of original Mediterranean-style builds and more recent contemporary developments.

Riviera del Sol appeals to buyers who want a ready-made community rather than an isolated villa on a hillside. The commercial centre has daily essentials covered, the beach is a short drive or a 15-minute walk downhill, and the AP-7 access is excellent. Prices remain among the most accessible on the coast, making it popular with first-time buyers on the Costa del Sol and with investors looking at the rental market.

Who lives in Riviera del Sol?

Riviera del Sol has a well-established British and Irish community alongside Scandinavian, Dutch, and Spanish residents. The mix skews slightly older than La Cala, with many retirees who have lived here for years, but younger families and couples are increasingly buying into the newer developments. The community has an active social life with clubs, exercise groups, and regular gatherings at the commercial centre. Many residents know their neighbours, which gives the urbanisation a village-within-a-town feeling.
