Macdonald la Ermita

The Resort and Its Setting

Macdonald La Ermita sits in Mijas, a whitewashed Andalusian town climbing the hills above the Costa del Sol, a short drive from Málaga city and its airport. Google describes it as an upmarket apartment hotel with warmly decorated units, three pools, a restaurant and a spa — the kind of resort that suits owners who want a comfortable base for pool days and short trips along the coast rather than a high-rise beachfront block. With 274 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5, it has a strong, consistent reputation among past guests.

Mijas, Málaga and the Costa del Sol

Mijas itself is one of the best-known "white villages" on this stretch of coast, with narrow cobbled streets, viewpoints over the Mediterranean and a more relaxed pace than the big resort towns down on the beach. Málaga city, around 30 minutes away, adds the cultural side of a stay here: the historic centre, the Cathedral, the Picasso Museum, and the restaurants and bars around the old port. The wider Costa del Sol brings beaches, golf courses and classic Andalusian day trips within easy reach, with Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport handling the international flights that make the whole region easy to get to.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Macdonald La Ermita and are thinking about selling it, or renting it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com offers a straightforward, owner-to-owner way to do it: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay only a one-time listing fee — there's no commission taken when it sells or rents. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of the conversation and the price.

Because Macdonald La Ermita is an independent resort rather than part of a branded chain with a published resale schedule, any transfer of ownership goes through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a central corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a sale price with a buyer, both sides should confirm two things directly with the resort: the transfer fee charged to re-register the week in the new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these figures vary by resort and aren't published here. A buyer should also ask exactly what the resale includes — for example, whether it's a fixed week, a floating week, or points-based usage — since this isn't always clear from a listing.

What Renters Typically Look For

Short-term renters booking a week at a resort like this are usually drawn by the pools, the spa and the on-site restaurant, combined with Mijas's village character and easy access to Málaga and the coast. Owners renting out a week should be clear in their listing about the apartment size, the view or location within the resort, and the exact dates available, since these details tend to make the biggest difference to renters comparing options.

Practical Notes

Málaga enjoys hot, dry summers and mild winters, so high summer brings the biggest crowds and the warmest sea, while spring and autumn offer quieter, milder conditions well suited to sightseeing in Mijas and Málaga alike. The region's public transport and road links make it easy to split a stay between resort downtime and day trips along the coast or inland.
