The resort of Calahonda in Mijas Costa is located 10 minutes from Marbella and is an ideal base to go exploring the attractions in the Costa del Sol area. When it comes to doing England in the sun, nowhere does it better than Sitio Calahonda – the name of the vast urbanisation which has become a town in its own right since its foundation in 1963.
Calahonda was purpose built as a resort in 1963 and has won many awards over the years including one for “Best Spanish Urbanisation”. Although it is a developed area, the designer was keen on green space and so there is an abundance of grassy areas to make use of.
Calahonda is also known along the Costa del Sol as ”Little England” and that’s exactly what it is – except for the fact that no housing complex in England can boast year-round sun combined with every conceivable sports and leisure facility right on the doorstep! Calahonda is also popular with Northern Europeans including Germans, Scandinavians and Dutch but there’s an overall British feel to the place and that’s just what its residents and visitors want. Calahonda, you either love Calahonda, or hate it!iif you prefer something a little more traditionally Spanish, Calahonda probably isn’t the best option for you.
