Coto Paz Dos | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Mijas

A luxury villa rental in Mijas puts you within walking distance of El Coto’s restaurants and shops, yet shielded from crowds by the Sierra de Mijas rising behind the urbanisation. Coto Paz Dos sits in this sweet spot where convenience meets seclusion, offering direct access to Costa del Sol’s golden coastline while remaining tucked into a verdant hillside community. Six guests find their rhythm here across three en-suite bedrooms, each climate-controlled, each thoughtfully separated from the next.

Inside Coto Paz Dos

Coto Paz Dos sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ground floor contains the villa’s social heart: an open-plan living and dining zone where marble flooring runs throughout, creating that cool Mediterranean flow that feels essential in summer months. Cream-coloured walls provide a neutral canvas for local artwork, while a fireplace anchors the lounge area—useful on those rare winter evenings when evening temperatures dip. The dining table seats six comfortably, positioned to catch light from multiple angles. Beyond this, the kitchen occupies a dedicated rear section, fully equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, and everything required to prepare family meals or simple breakfast spreads. One guest toilet on the ground floor serves visitors and those moving between spaces.

The ground floor also houses the first bedroom: a twin-bedded room with air conditioning and its own en-suite bathroom, ideal for younger guests or friends who prefer separate sleeping quarters. This room offers privacy without isolation, positioned to catch morning light.

Ascending to the first floor reveals two further bedrooms. The second bedroom mirrors the ground-floor layout with twin beds joined as a double, air conditioning, and a private en-suite bathroom. The master suite dominates this level—a king-bed room with dressing area, full en-suite bathroom, and air conditioning. French windows here open directly onto a small private terrace, the kind of morning vantage point where you can stand with coffee and watch the day unfold over the white walls and tile roofs of El Coto. This is where the Mediterranean light hits hardest around 7am.

Wi-Fi reaches throughout the property. A safe secures valuables. DVD and CD players remain available for quieter evenings. Highchair and cot can be arranged with advance notice, making the villa workable for infants and toddlers.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step beyond the villa’s French doors and you enter a walled garden that feels entirely private despite the proximity to neighbors. An automatic gate controls access from the street. Terracotta tiles overhang the rear facade, creating a natural covered terrace where an outdoor dining table seats six and a charcoal barbecue waits for evening entertaining. This canopy extends the usable day well into sunset hours, blocking the overhead sun while maintaining the breeze that flows up from the coast.

The chlorine pool sits at the garden’s center, lit for evening swimming, surrounded by sun loungers. An outdoor shower stands ready—a practical addition that means less chlorine tracked through the house. Low walls and mature trees encircle the entire space, offering that leafy Mediterranean enclosure without feeling fortress-like. You can dine outdoors, swim, sunbathe, and relax within view of no one else’s garden furniture.

Location: Mijas and the Surrounding Area

El Coto sits within Mijas municipality, one of the Costa del Sol’s most established inland residential zones, positioned 30 minutes by car from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport and just 5km south of the white-washed village of Mijas Pueblo. The urbanisation itself is walkable—local shops and several restaurants sit within 3-5 minutes on foot, eliminating the need for a car for daily coffee or groceries. The nearby supermarket makes self-catering straightforward.

The Mediterranean coast lies a short drive away. Playa Fuengirola extends for 7km along a stretch of pale sand backed by the historic Sohail Castle, reachable in 10 minutes by car from Coto Paz Dos. Here, water sports operators offer paddleboarding, jet skis, and sailing lessons. Chiringuitos—beachfront paella restaurants—line the sand; La Langosta, operating since 1960, remains a standout for grilled fish and seafood rice dishes. The Beatriz Palace Hotel operates a beach bar with expansive views across the bay.

To the north toward Benalmádena, Playa Las Viborillas offers a quieter alternative—palm-framed, enclosed by rocky outcrops, less crowded than Fuengirola. Restaurante El Parador, perched at the bay’s far end, specializes in fresh catch and sunset sightings across the water. The port town of Fuengirola itself contains Don Pé, a traditional Andalucian restaurant serving slow-cooked stews and local specialities in a relaxed setting.

Inland from the coast, the Sierra de Mijas offers hiking. The Pico de Mijas trail—a steep, challenging route—rewards effort with panoramic views toward the sea and across the Málaga hinterland. Well-marked paths wind through rocky terrain and small rural hamlets. Mijas Pueblo itself warrants a visit: this 16th-to-18th-century hilltop village retains narrow cobbled streets, Moorish architectural echoes, and the Plaza de la Libertad, where La Alcazaba restaurant serves traditional mountain dishes from a terrace overlooking the coast 10km distant.

Golf thrives here. Several championship courses operate within 15-20km, taking advantage of year-round playable conditions. Tennis courts are available locally.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Three-bedroom villas in Mijas appeal to specific guest profiles. Families of 4-6 find Coto Paz Dos well-proportioned—the ground-floor twin room can house younger children while parents occupy the master suite, and the first-floor twin offers sleeping space for a teenage child or visiting grandparent. The pool is securable and shallow-ended, suitable for supervised young swimmers.

Multi-generational groups—grandparents, adult children, grandchildren—benefit from the villa’s multiple bathrooms and separate bedroom zones. You avoid the awkwardness of shared facilities.

Couples seeking privacy combined with sociability find the villa workable for two, especially if one pair occupies the master suite while the other uses the first-floor twin and one friend takes the ground-floor twin. The outdoor entertaining space makes group dining feel natural rather than cramped.

Groups of four unrelated adults—friends on holiday together—use the three rooms efficiently. The shared outdoor spaces encourage communal meals while bedrooms provide retreat.

Maid service availability (arranged separately) suits those preferring housekeeping over self-catering, or those wanting mid-week refreshment on longer stays.
