Why Buy Property in El Chaparral?
- Golf and beach together: the course runs down towards the coast, so residents can combine a round of golf with an afternoon on the beach.
- Central position: El Chaparral lies midway along the coast between Marbella and Fuengirola, with easy access to the A-7 and AP-7.
- Established community: the area has been developed over several decades and has a settled mix of permanent residents and holiday-home owners.
- Sea views: the rising ground behind the coast gives many apartments and villas views across the golf course to the Mediterranean.
- Services nearby: the shops and restaurants of Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas are only a few minutes away.

Investment Potential
El Chaparral benefits from the steady holiday-rental demand along the Mijas coast, driven by golf, beaches and the short transfer from Málaga airport. Owners letting short-term need a registered tourist licence, and some complexes have their own restrictions. The area offers a lower entry point than comparable golf locations closer to Marbella, which is one reason it remains popular with buyers from northern Europe. See our Mijas Costa page for the wider picture.
Living in El Chaparral
Everyday life here is relaxed and practical. Supermarkets, pharmacies, bars and restaurants are found in Calahonda, Riviera del Sol and La Cala, and bus services run along the A-7 between Marbella and Fuengirola. International schools are available in the Calahonda and Marbella areas, and the coastal boardwalk of Mijas offers long walks by the sea.
