Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in La Cala De Mijas cost?
Budget hotel prices in La Cala De Mijas vary, but you can find a great deal from £38 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of La Cala De Mijas is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers looking for cheap hotels in La Cala De Mijas, concentrating your search slightly outside the immediate town centre, particularly in areas like El Chaparral or towards Riviera del Sol, can yield more affordable accommodation options. While La Cala De Mijas itself is a popular and well-developed resort town, venturing a little further out often means better value for money while still maintaining good access to amenities and the beach.

El Chaparral, for instance, offers a quieter atmosphere and often features apartments or smaller hotels at more great prices. Solo travellers will find it easy to navigate, and local bus services connect it readily to the heart of La Cala. This area also boasts a lovely local beach, often less crowded than the main stretch.

Alternatively, looking towards Riviera del Sol provides a similar benefit. Here you'll find a range of self-catering apartments and guesthouses that are generally more budget-friendly than those directly in La Cala's core.
When is the most affordable time to visit La Cala De Mijas?
The most affordable time to visit La Cala De Mijas is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically from late September to October and again from April to May. During these periods, you'll find pleasant weather without the peak summer crowds and prices.

Accommodation and flight costs see a noticeable drop compared to the high season of June to August. Solo travellers can particularly benefit from these months, as many guesthouses and smaller hotels offer better rates, and you'll find more availability for single rooms. The slightly cooler temperatures are ideal for exploring the coastal paths and the charming town centre without the intense heat.

For couples, these shoulder months also present a more relaxed atmosphere for enjoying the local beaches and dining at the numerous tapas bars and restaurants. You can often secure better deals on car hire, allowing for more extensive exploration of the wider Andalusian region, including nearby Mijas Pueblo or Fuengirola, without breaking the bank.
Is La Cala De Mijas a budget-friendly destination?
While La Cala de Mijas is generally considered more of an upscale holiday destination, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, look for self-catering apartments or smaller guesthouses a little further from the beachfront, as these often offer better value than resort hotels. Solo travellers might find good deals on rooms in the older parts of the village.

Couples can save on dining by taking advantage of the local supermarkets and preparing some meals, or by opting for the many 'menu del día' (fixed-price lunch menus) offered by local restaurants, which provide excellent value. Exploring the village on foot is free and allows you to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the beautiful beaches, and browse the local artisan markets.

Transportation along the Costa del Sol is relatively inexpensive, with reliable bus services connecting La Cala de Mijas to other towns like Fuengirola and Marbella, offering opportunities for day trips without the need for a rental car.
How can I save on a budget hotel in La Cala De Mijas with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in La Cala De Mijas. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in La Cala De Mijas?
La Cala de Mijas offers several fantastic free activities, superb for budget-conscious travellers looking to enjoy the Andalusian sunshine without breaking the bank.

Couples and solo travellers will find the coastal pathway, known as the Senda Litoral, an absolute highlight. This beautifully maintained wooden boardwalk stretches for kilometres, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. You can stroll hand-in-hand, enjoy a morning jog, or simply find a bench to watch the waves, all while soaking in the refreshing sea air. It's a wonderful way to explore the coastline at your own pace.

Another excellent free option is spending time on the main beach of La Cala de Mijas. While some areas offer paid sunbeds, there are plenty of spots to lay down your towel, build sandcastles, or simply swim in the clear waters. The beach is well-kept and provides a relaxing atmosphere for an entire day out. For those interested in local history, a visit to the Torre de La Cala, an 18th-century watchtower located right on the beachfront, is also free. You can admire its architecture and learn about its defensive past without any cost.

Finally, exploring the charming village centre itself is a delightful free activity. Wander through its narrow streets, browse the local shops (window shopping is free.), and soak in the vibrant Spanish atmosphere.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in La Cala De Mijas as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in La Cala De Mijas for you.
