Club La Costa at Marina del Rey

The resort and its setting

Club La Costa Marina del Rey is a self-catering timeshare resort on the Carretera de Cádiz (KM 206) in Las Lagunas de Mijas, one of the inland neighbourhoods that make up the sprawling municipality of Mijas. The address places it conveniently between Fuengirola and the wider Mijas Costa, with the main coastal road giving quick access to the beaches, shops and restaurants that line this part of the Costa del Sol. Guests rate it 4.5 out of 5 from 38 reviews, which is solid for a resort of this kind, and it's listed on Google simply as lodging — in other words, a straightforward holiday accommodation base rather than a resort built around a single headline feature.

The area and things to do

Las Lagunas de Mijas is a practical, lived-in part of Mijas, with everyday shops, bars and supermarkets within walking distance or a short drive. From here it's an easy run down to the beachfront at Fuengirola, with its long promenade, markets and seafront beach bars, or inland up to Mijas Pueblo, the whitewashed hilltop village that draws day-trippers for its views and narrow streets. Marbella and Puerto Banús are within reach for a day out, and Málaga city, with its airport, historic centre and museums, is a manageable drive along the coast. The Costa del Sol's golf courses, water parks and weekly markets are also on the doorstep, making this a sensible base for families and couples who want a central location rather than an isolated resort.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Club La Costa Marina del Rey and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a one-off listing fee rather than handing over a percentage of the sale to an agent. There's 0% commission on completed sales — the price you agree with a buyer is the price you keep. Interested buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations and timing.

Because Club La Costa Marina del Rey is affiliated with RCI, a week here can, subject to the resort's own rules and RCI's membership terms, potentially be used for exchange into other RCI-affiliated resorts — worth mentioning to prospective buyers if your week carries exchange eligibility. Before listing, it's sensible to check with Club La Costa or the resort's owners' association what the current transfer process involves, including any transfer or resale administration fee and whether the resort or management company holds a right of first refusal on resales. These details, along with the current annual maintenance fee, should be confirmed directly with Club La Costa so you can state them accurately in your listing and avoid any surprises for a buyer partway through a sale.

A resale buyer typically takes on the week itself along with the associated annual maintenance obligations from the point of transfer; they do not inherit any loyalty perks, banked points, or prior exchange bookings tied to the previous owner's account unless these are explicitly transferred as part of the sale. Ask Club La Costa how long a transfer usually takes to complete once a buyer is found, so you can set realistic expectations when listing.

Practical notes

Renters and buyers researching this resort should expect a self-catering style of stay typical of Costa del Sol timeshare resorts, in a well-connected inland location rather than directly on the seafront. Anyone renting or buying should confirm unit size, view and exact week/season directly with the current owner before committing, since these details can vary between weeks at the same resort.
