Coto Paz Uno | 3-Bedroom Villa in Las Lagunas de Mijas

A three-bedroom luxury villa rental in Las Lagunas de Mijas puts you within arm’s reach of the Costa del Sol’s finest beaches, golf courses and hilltop villages—yet far enough removed that mornings arrive in blessed silence. Coto Paz Uno sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, arranged across multiple levels within the gated El Coto urbanisation, a neighbourhood that strikes the rare balance between accessibility and seclusion.

Inside Coto Paz Uno

Ground floor living centres on a capacious living room where oversized sofas flank a working fireplace, its focal point punctuated by large sliding glass doors that flood the space with daylight and open directly onto a furnished balcony. This entrance level hosts the villa’s primary bedroom—a king-bedded sanctuary with walk-in dressing area and en-suite bathroom finished in marble. French windows from this master bedroom frame views across the garden and its mature trees. A separate dining room accommodates six guests comfortably at its substantial table, while the galley-style kitchen behind it runs the full complement of modern appliances including dishwasher and oven, equipped without pretension but entirely practical for the week’s cooking.

The ground floor also contains a utility room housing washing machine and cleaning supplies, plus a guest cloakroom near the entrance. From here, a marble staircase ascends to the first floor, where two additional bedrooms await. The first features twin beds with air conditioning and its own en-suite, with direct access to a private terrace overlooking the gardens below. The second first-floor bedroom offers joined twin beds, en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and its own small terrace furnished with a table and two chairs—a quiet spot for morning coffee or evening reflection. All bedrooms include air conditioning throughout.

Coto Paz Uno provides fibre-optic Wi-Fi connectivity, a wall-mounted safe, and entertainment via DVD and CD player. Iron and ironing board are available, as are hairdryers in each bathroom. The property offers optional maid service, and cots and highchairs can be arranged upon request.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden reveals itself as you descend internal stairs to the lower level—a walled sanctuary bordered by tall trees that create genuine privacy, the kind that becomes increasingly rare along the Costa del Sol. At its centre sits a substantial mosaic-tiled swimming pool filled with chlorinated water, surrounded by multiple sun loungers for prolonged afternoon soaking. A dedicated poolside washroom and toilet serve swimmers without the need to trek back inside.

Dining shifts naturally outdoors here. A charcoal barbecue and fixed dining table sit adjacent to the pool, while a covered terrace with comfortable seating provides shade during the day’s heat. The balcony on the entrance level features a circular dining table perfectly sized for breakfast, while cushioned loungers invite evening aperitivos as the Mediterranean light softens toward dusk.

Electric gates protect the property’s perimeter, with dedicated parking space immediately inside. The entire composition—multi-level layout, mature plantings, water features—creates the impression of stepping into a villa considerably older and more established than its age might suggest.

Location: Las Lagunas de Mijas and the Surrounding Area

Coto Paz Uno occupies a strategic pocket of the Costa del Sol, 30 minutes by car from Málaga Airport (AGP), meaning you can feasibly exit the terminal and be poolside within the hour. The urbanisation sits within easy reach of Fuengirola’s 5-mile golden-sand beach, approximately 8km away—a ten-minute drive delivering you to Playa Fuengirola, where chiringuitos serve fresh seafood and water sports operators rent paddleboards and kayaks. The town’s working fishing port surrounds you with restaurants specialising in grilled fish and octopus, the daily catch determining the day’s specials.

Inland 8km north lies Benalmádena Pueblo, a whitewashed hillside village where narrow cobbled streets wind between flower-draped houses and local craft shops. The Castillo de Colomares—an extraordinary architectural folly dedicated to Christopher Columbus—dominates the skyline, while the St Domingo de Guzman Church blends Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic and Mudéjar elements into a single improbable structure. La Niña Tavern serves traditional Andalucian dishes favoured by local families. The Plaza de España offers drinks and tapas under open skies.

Mijas Pueblo, 6km northwest, clings to the Sierra de Mijas foothills with its own collection of whitewashed plazas and ancient Moorish foundations. A challenging uphill trail from the village leads to ridge-top panoramas stretching across the coastline toward North Africa. La Alcazaba restaurant occupies a terrace with mountain views, serving traditional plates alongside contemporary reinterpretations.

For dining nearer to the villa, local restaurants within walking distance offer everything from casual dinner to more formal evening service. Supermarkets stock daily provisions for self-catering, while weekly markets provide fresh produce at source prices.

The region hosts multiple championship golf courses within 10-15km, along with tennis clubs catering to all skill levels. Explore our luxury villas in Spain and our full collection in Mijas.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Coto Paz Uno works exceptionally well for two distinct guest profiles. Families with children aged 5-16 appreciate the private pool, ground-floor accessibility, and proximity to child-friendly beaches and activities—Fuengirola offers water sports centres, mini-golf, and playgrounds. The optional maid service proves invaluable when managing young guests across three floors.

Multi-generational groups of six find the three separate bedroom suites and multiple terraces provide necessary privacy boundaries. The en-suite bathrooms mean no morning queuing, while the living areas comfortably accommodate group dinners or quieter evenings spent reading on different levels.

Couples travelling together with friends benefit from the configuration’s separation of space without isolation—you’re never more than a staircase away, yet bedrooms sit far enough apart for genuine autonomy. Golf enthusiasts base themselves here easily, accessing courses before breakfast and returning by early afternoon for pool time.
