Positioned slightly inland midway between Fuengirola and Mijas Costa, the La Cala Norte y Sur golf resort, offering three golf courses now, promotes itself as one of the most luxurious golf complexes in South Europe. It's certainly one of the biggest golf complexes in Spain. Designed by golf course architect Cabell B. Robinson, the three courses Campo America (previously North Course), Campo Asia and Campo Europa offer all year round golf, the Campo America the most challenging of the three (Par 73). The sublime views of the Sierra de Mijas mountain backdrop make these three golf courses one of the most stunningly located in Europe.

La Cala or the Mijas Costa beach front area offers some of the Costa Del Sol's best beaches, hence is popular growth in recent years. Only a 25 minute drive from Malaga Airport, the area is well served for sport including golf of course, plus a choice of beach watersports, dive centre, tennis and even lawn bowls. Horse Riding is also rather prevalent here (the Hipodromo Costa del Sol Mijas Horse Racing tracks sit just outside of Mijas Costa), with a choice of riding schools (some British owned) offering trekking and horse riding lessons).

Aquapark Mijas is close to hand (weblink right), as are a host of other family holiday attractions around nearby Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Torremolinos. Mijas Costa offers a much less built up environment than nearby Fuengirola - low rise beach hotels here only.
