Cala Serena Sun is a gated development of 68 terraced houses built by Vía Célere in La Cala de Mijas. The houses have 3 or 4 bedrooms and are arranged in eight rows, six of which have a basement level with garages and storage rooms. Every house has a garage, a terrace and a garden, and a significant number enjoy open views of the Mediterranean.

All the houses face south. It is a design decision you notice in daily use: the interiors are bright all year round, and the layout carries light from the living areas through to the bedrooms. Living room, dining area and kitchen form a single open space that opens directly onto the terrace and garden.

The leisure facilities include a swimming pool, a fitness area, a spa and a chill-out zone – all within the gated development, with no need to leave the grounds.

The buildings have an A energy rating. On this basis the developer estimates up to 85% energy savings, 70% savings on domestic hot water, a 91% reduction in CO2 emissions and up to €950 saved per year. These are estimated figures, calculated for a home with a net surface area of 95 m² compared with a benchmark home rated F. The technical specification includes enhanced thermal insulation with doubled façade insulation, window frames with low-emissivity glass and a micro-ventilation setting, individual aerothermal domestic hot water production, and controlled mechanical ventilation with extraction from the bathrooms and kitchen.

Buyers have access to a personalisation programme: they can choose materials, colours and textures for walls, floors, wardrobes and kitchen units, and can also consult the interior designer working on the development. Scope and deadlines depend on the construction stage.

La Cala de Mijas is one of the best-loved spots on the Costa del Sol – a seaside town with wide sandy beaches, a promenade and low-rise Andalusian architecture, yet with everything you need close at hand: shops, schools, health centres and easy access to the main coastal roads.

Cala Serena Sun suits buyers looking for a house rather than an apartment on the Costa del Sol – with its own garden, garage and sea views, alongside the facilities you would expect from a modern development.
