Mijas Costa

Mijas Costa covers a chain of coastal communities rather than a single compact town centre.

Terrain and getting around

Terrain varies sharply between La Cala de Mijas, Calahonda, Riviera del Sol and hillside urbanisations. Footways may be intermittent and road crossings can be widely spaced.

Accessibility is personal: distance, gradient, surface, heat and crowding affect travellers differently. Trace the complete route from the accommodation to the places that matter, including the return journey.

Choosing where to stay

La Cala is often the simplest base for nearby amenities, but every complex needs individual checking. A property that appears close on a map may sit above shops or beaches.

Ask for the narrowest doorway, lift dimensions, bathroom transfer space, bed height and a step-free route to every hotel facility that will be used. Obtain important commitments in writing.

Airport transfers and local transport

Nearest airport: Málaga Airport. A private accessible transfer is often more practical than relying on walking routes from public transport, especially with luggage or powered equipment.

Tell the transfer company whether the traveller can move into a vehicle seat or must remain in the wheelchair. Provide chair or scooter dimensions, combined weight, companion numbers and luggage details.

Mobility equipment hire

Mobility Abroad no longer accepts bookings or payments. We provide independent preparation information and links to selected providers so travellers can arrange equipment directly.

Confirm model, safe user weight, dimensions, charging, delivery, collection, damage cover and breakdown support. Match the equipment to the local terrain and the accommodation rather than selecting by price alone.

Practical local advice

Confirm whether equipment delivery reaches the actual apartment door and whether the complex has ramps or lifts between reception, accommodation and pool levels.

Before booking Mijas Costa

• Check the exact hotel street and surrounding gradients.
• Request room, bathroom and lift measurements.
• Arrange airline assistance and an appropriate airport transfer.
• Confirm equipment delivery and emergency support in writing.
• Recheck important arrangements shortly before departure.
