900 metres from the striking Faro de Trafalgar lighthouse, this villa sits on the coast of Spain where long stretches of sandy beach meet the Atlantic Ocean. The closest town is Los Caños de Meca where restaurants look out over the beach, and it’s just a fifteen-minute walk to the centre. Beaches here are made for windsurfing, and it’s a blissfully quiet spot on the Spanish coast.

Sleek modernity is the theme at the villa, surrounded by a perfectly manicured lawn. Glass walls let the sunshine stream in, especially in the stylish living area which can open up to the terrace outside. We love the architectural details like the internal glass courtyard displaying pot plants like works of art. There’s something zen-like about the buddhas, botanica and candle lanterns throughout too. 

Outside, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained in and out of the sun. Dining for the whole group is on a covered patio, plush sofas sit on the veranda and there’s a big lawn for the kids to run around with football goals and a basketball court. And when the heat gets too much, you can slip into the pristine swimming pool to cool off.

In this rural haven, there is plenty of room to bask in the sun. The two single beds in one of the bedrooms make it ideal for bringing your children on vacation, especially with the sparkling pool in the backyard. Float on your back while gazing up at the blue sky; here's your reminder to wear sunscreen. The cottage's interior has a rustic motif and is large enough to accommodate a family.

Gather the family around the wooden table, which features a unique autumnal tree feature. Though this may slightly block your view while attempting to talk to your loved ones, you have to admit that it looks fantastic. While sipping a martini on the wooden roof area, listen to your children's laughter as they play in the pool.

We recommend renting a car when staying here due to the property's remote location. The nearest beach is about a twelve–minute drive away, and the restaurants and stores in the area are only accessible by vehicle, unless you like long walks. However, in a location like this with gorgeous views, is a long walk really a bad thing?

Among sandy beaches and close to the famous yacht-lined marina, this charming villa provides a beautiful base from which to discover the iconic sights of Marbella. Boasting a pretty garden, spend sunny mornings relaxing by the private pool, or enjoy some shade and a cup of coffee under the sun umbrella. If you do manage to tear yourself away from the garden, take a walk along the coast then onto the refreshingly unspoilt San Pedro de Alcantara, where you can take your pick from a plethora of restaurants for lunch. Golfers will appreciate the the close proximity to five different golf courses, ideal for a family day out. 

After a day of exploring, relaxing and making memories, head home to fire up the barbecue. Gather everyone on the patio for a delicious alfresco feast under the stars. Post-dinner, enjoy a relaxing bubble bath in the freestanding tub, then take a seat on the balcony to enjoy the warm evening breeze with a glass of wine.

With the Sierra Bermeja mountain range as your backdrop and the bustle of Estepona's beach and restaurant scene just a ten-minute stroll away, the setting of this stylish apartment is impressive. Though with palm-fringed pools and hotel-worthy amenities back at this apartment complex, you may decide to stay put. The on-site restaurant and pool bar will be handy for morning coffees, champagne sundowners and everything else in between. Or take things back to the privacy of your terrace for an alfresco sunset supper.

Sitting just outside El Gastor in beautiful Andalusia, this inviting home with its lagoon pool and charming rustic interiors is ready to ease you into relaxed holiday living. 

The open-plan living area is a vision of country traditionalism with its tiled floors, exposed brick walls and domed, beamed ceiling. There’s a fireplace here that can be lit on cooler evenings to be enjoyed on the sofa over a glass of glass, while the equally rustic yet comfortable bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep. 

It’s the home’s outsides, however, that really steals the show. Not only is there a scenic balcony from which to enjoy sunsets dipping below the mountains but there’s a lagoon-like pool that beckons long afternoons splashing in its cooling waters. And there’s no better way to end a day than by gathering under the pergola for a barbecue feast. 

Outside of your home, you’ve got a selection of restaurants and shops in El Gastor 2.7 kilometres away, while beautiful Ronda – a mountaintop city set dramatically above a deep gorge – is 34 kilometres away and perfect for a day trip.

Located in Arcos de la Frontera, this charming villa offers the chance to explore one of Spain’s lesser-known towns. It’s got a cosy country vibe inside, with everything you need to feel right at home. Large windows lead out onto a sunny garden with a covered terrace and a private swimming pool. Surrounded by lush greenery and wild olive trees, the rural location offers a peaceful escape, but you’ll need a car to get around as the home is relatively removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you’re willing to do a bit of driving, there’s plenty to see and do here, from historic towns to breathtaking natural parks.

Just a short walk from the sands of Playa de Zahora, this villa is perfect for families and groups seeking a memorable retreat along the Costa de la Luz. With a main house and an annexe, this home provides plenty of space for private moments and socialisation. This villa is ideal for those visiting with little ones, with shared bedrooms and a cot and high chair on request. The outdoor kitchen has a wood-fired pizza oven, a Kamado Grill – perfect for Andalusian-inspired barbecues. Plus, there's a pool, rooftop deck, hot tub and sauna, too. While you'll have beaches at your fingertips, you’ll also find the lovely village of Vejer just 10km away. 

White Tide

Located in the town of Gaucin, in the province of Malaga, Andalucia, this penthouse apartment offers some truly incredible panoramic views. Each morning, you will wake up in this bright home with its terracotta floors and Tiffany-blue doors and want to step out onto the terrace immediately to enjoy the soft breeze. On the southern terrace, you can admire views of the Mediterranean on the horizon and a valley that stretches out before you as you enjoy an alfresco breakfast, sipping fresh jugo de naranja. 

Spend your days sunbathing on the rooftop and cooling off in your private plunge pool, or head out and explore the outskirts of the village. In the evening, the northern terrace of the home is the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco dinner or a jug of sangria as you take in the views of Gaucin, the Guadiaro valley, and the Sierra del Hacho. 

Ático al Cielo

This villa in Vejer de la Frontera offers a rural yet convenient location just under 10km from the beautiful Cadiz coast. Though this single-level home feels somewhat dated and may not suit those who are more design-conscious, there’s everything you need for a comfortable stay (except for bath towels, which you'll need to bring yourself). Outside, guests can relax on the sunloungers with a glass of sangria, kids can make the most of the pool, and you can all gather on the patio for a barbecue as the golden hour approaches.


More Than a Dream

This Andalusian home is a cute getaway for a small family or group of friends. Though the home is quite traditional, it is well-kept and features a fully-equipped kitchen and open-plan dining area. Outside, there’s a barbecue area to cook Spanish delicacies, and although the pool is on the small side, it’s still a welcome amenity during those hot summer days. The hilltop town of Vejer de la Frontera with its whitewashed houses is a short drive down the road, where you’ll find a mix of points of interest and numerous eateries.

A Little More Romance

Surrounded by incredible mountain scenery, this home in El Gastor offers a restful retreat from which to explore the delights of Andalusia. 

Inside, a comfortable, contemporary decor sets a welcoming scene with plenty of natural light streaming in through the large windows. We love how bright the sleek kitchen is with its window-side seating beckoning sociable meals when you’re not dining alfresco on the patio, while the living area invites chilled-out lounging over board games when the midday sun gets too hot. Our favourite way to cool off, however? A dip in the shimmering private pool. Equipped with sun loungers and framed by breathtaking natural vistas, this is where you’ll want to while away long afternoons before firing up the grill for a barbecue under the stars. 

And when it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got a plethora of charming villages to explore – including Zahara de la Sierra 9 kilometres away – not to mention the Sierra de Grazalema  Natural Park, reachable by car.

There are also plenty of entertainment options too with a basement cinema, a designer bar and a gym. Private parking is available for up to three cars and you’ll find everything you could need within easy driving distance – including Puerto Banús, El Paraiso Golf Club and the nearest beaches. 


Serenity Sunlight

Five minutes from Puerto Banus and fifteen minutes from the old town of Marbella, this home is a great base for a family or group of friends. It’s close to a paddle club with indoor and outdoor gyms, so guests hoping to stay active will be happy. The villa is modern, simple and stylish, with a lovely open-plan living and dining area. Best of all, you’ll have a swim spa in the garden to relax in. 

Marbella Oasis

Shared Pool

Situated in Puerto Banús, this fuss-free apartment is ideal for a family of four. The private balcony is just the spot for a morning coffee, albeit a little overlooked by neighbouring homes. But, with the Mediterranean sun warming your skin, you’ll be tempted out to the communal pool in no time. Fitness fanatic? You'll find a gym and paddle tennis nearby. Otherwise, a stroll around the marina in search of Spanish cuisine is a must.

Sun-Kissed Crush

Occupying a privileged spot in the hills of Nueva Andalucia, this home glimmers with contemporary luxury. Outside, you can enjoy incredible views from the swimming pool. There is also a Jacuzzi and an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue. Inside, the rooms are spread across three floors – offering plenty of space to stretch out, unwind and socialise. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the outdoor gym, while everyone can enjoy cosy movie nights in the cinema room. Private parking is available and you’ll find it’s just a ten-minute drive to Puerto Banus, while Marbella is just twenty-minutes away. 

Height of Bliss

Free Parking

This impeccably-styled villa, set in the heart of Marbella’s Golf Valley, dazzles white from top-to-toe with light-filled spaces. Outside, there's an inviting pool fringed by tropical gardens and that rooftop terrace for evening drinks is a lovely touch. Located in the middle of Nueva Andalucia, you've got golf courses, cafes, and restaurants all within easy reach, including a supermarket just a stroll away to pick up essentials. Need some pointers for day trips? Your host offers a range of tours and excursions. Though the soft blonde sands of nearby Playa Nueva Andalucia might be all you need.

The Andalucian Dream

If you’re searching for a place with ample space to relax in the sunshine, look no further than this penthouse apartment with two outdoor areas. The upper terrace is complete with loungers, a seating area, and glimpses of the Alboran Sea. What’s more, guests staying here have access to communal swimming pools, and Saladillo Beach is only a ten-minute drive away. Should you fancy stretching your legs, the village of Cancelada is within walking distance, home to laidback bars and restaurants.

Heated Pool

This magnificent Andalusian mansion is located in an exclusive luxury resort, a short drive from Marbella. The multi-level grounds boast a private pool that can be heated for an extra cost, a hot tub on the terrace, and views of the surrounding mountains and resort golf courses. The indoor decor is a mix of timeless 18th and 19th century elements and modern styles, with a home cinema and games room. There is an apartment in the basement with a separate entrance, ideal for if you're bringing your own staff, or for that much-needed extra privacy.

Obsidian Glow

Throws

Switch off at this stunning home on the outskirts of Benalauría, a neat base for exploring all that the Andalusian countryside has to offer. What this home lacks in showstopping amenities, it more than makes up for in old-school atmosphere, boasting a whole host of traditional design features that make you feel at ease the second you step over the threshold. 

While away summer afternoons by the private pool, a drink in one hand and a good book in the other, before heading inside to unwind by the fire. When it’s time to eat, rustle up a home-cooked tapas feast and tuck in at the homely dining table, where we’d recommend cracking open a cool bottle of wine to share with your fellow guests.  

If you fancy getting out and about, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Head into Benalauría for a spot of people-watching or make your way to the Castle of Benadalid and soak up some of the region’s rich history. However you fill your time here, you’ll love coming back to your gorgeous home from home, where you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay in one of Spain's most attractive regions.

Experience Costa del Sol living to the fullest with a stay at this sleek and modern villa. At this home, every room is bathed in sunlight, with sliding glass doors opening onto private terraces – perfect for guests seeking moments of downtime amongst the palm trees. Though the line between inside and outside is hard to define here, you’ll find a landscaped garden, a pristine pool and a shaded lounge for sipping sangria. And, with Playa Nueva Andalucía a short walk away and the centre of Puerto Banus a quick drive, this location is perfect for days on the sand and evenings dining along the waterfront.

The Garden of Bliss

Mini Bar

Security System

Making a statement in the Mediterranean countryside, where it's tucked away in an exclusive gated community, this bold and luxurious villa overlooks the Costa del Sol from its sweeping garden. Outside you'll find ample seating and a private pool, but it's not the only entertainment available here. A private cinema room and games room with darts and a pool table will keep the whole family entertained, and there's even a gym for fitness fanatics. Location-wise, Nikki Beach is about twenty-five minutes away, and La Quinta Golf & Country Club is reachable by car. 

Contemporary Sunsets

Cafetiere

Perched in a stunning location on the beachfront of  La Barrosa, Cádiz – this villa offers a truly enchanting holiday in the Spanish sunshine. 

First thing's first, the biggest focal point here has to be the glistening sea views – best seen from the terrace and balcony. Picture yourself here as you retreat from a day on the beach, ready for a cold beer and a barbecue in the home's magical garden setting. With direct access to the sand and sea, sharing your time between the beach and the privacy of the pool and terrace couldn't be easier. 

Spread across three floors, the sun-drenched interiors create a beautifully bright and luminous space to kick back in style. And with six-bedroom suites, alongside a large open living area – guests get to balance socialising with taking precious moments of solitude in privacy should they need to. 

With the beach of la Barrosa and its bars and fish restaurants at your fingertips, you'll also find Chiclana de la Frontera, just fifteen minutes away. Meanwhile, the surrounding area has plenty of golf courses and viewpoints for watching the dreamy sunset alongside historical points of interest, such as the Castillo de Sancti Petri. 

Talking to the Sea 

Just a ten-minute drive from buzzing Puerto Banús, this home is in a prime spot for exploring Marbella. But even better than the location is the house itself, with light-filled rooms, bird's eye views, and a sprawling garden to make the most of the Costa del Sol sunshine. Adults will enjoy the upstairs office and basement gym, while kids will love the swimming pool and private padel court. The seventh bedroom is in an independent guest house, ideal for grandparents or older teens wanting their own space. And the cherry on top is the fabulous main suite, where coastal panoramas, a soaker tub, and a private balcony await.

Bird's Eye Bliss

This impressive villa in Benahavís is all set up for a truly unique experience and a memorable stay in Southern Spain’s Costa del Sol. There are three floors of entertainment space here, with a lift to transport you to every level. So whether you’re cooling off in the pool, shaking up cocktails in the bar, dining alfresco or playing a few games of pool, you’re never out of options here. And if you’d like to leave the cooking to a professional, why not have your host arrange a catered dinner?

Benahavis Bliss

Children's Dinnerware

With stunning views across the hills of Benahavís, this home will make you want to settle in and stay. Days here can be spent relaxing by the private pool and admiring the natural beauty from the terrace. Inside, the rooms are simple and family-friendly with all the essentials you could need to relax and unwind. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short (slightly windy) drive to the nearest restaurants, shops and the beach. 


Mediterranean Moon

With cool, contemporary styling and views across the marina, this Puerto Banús apartment oozes tranquillity. Comfortable for two couples or a small family, you’ll find everything needed for a relaxing seaside stay here. If the views tempt you away from home, you’re just a short walk away from the beach. Feeling peckish? Don't worry about cooking – the marina’s bars and Spanish eateries are on your doorstep. And for adventures further afield, the Golden Mile of Marbella is a short drive away and well worth a visit.  

The Golden Shore

Jacuzzi

Secured Parking

Gated Community

To call this split-level penthouse bright and modern is an understatement. The design is sleek, sure – and yes, natural light is all but guaranteed to spill through the floor-to-ceiling windows. But what turns an otherwise ordinary apartment into a tropical getaway are the two sun-kissed terraces. Between the bubbling Jacuzzi, cosy outdoor sofas and alfresco dining areas, you'll have plenty of spots to sit back with a cocktail and admire the views. The communal pool is a bonus – a pretty big one, to be fair – and the location is close to Marbella and Puerto Banus, so beach days and adventures further afield are both easily achieved.

Tropical Ruby

Nestled between golf resorts and the Marbella coastline, this luxury villa is something you’ll remember. This three-storey home is as contemporary as it gets. There’s a fully-equipped gym for morning workouts, a chef's kitchen for special feasts at home (though a private chef can be arranged too), a pristine pool for days sunbathing amongst manicured lawns, and a games room for family ping pong matches. Not only does the home provide unparalleled options for entertainment, but you’ll have a villa manager and concierge team on hand to arrange in-villa massages and local experiences, too. What’s more, this villa is perfectly located for exploring the best of the region's sandy beaches and Puerto Banús' restaurants.

Citrus & Sand

Indoor Pool

This charming holiday rental is nestled amid dreamy gardens in a pretty gated complex. There are three outdoor pools to choose from – shared with the other residents – including one that’s covered and heated in winter. When you want more privacy, you’ll have your own garden to relax in. Cook on the barbecue and soak up the sun. In terms of location, you’re just a four-minute drive from Puerto Banus. The beach is a short drive away, and there are lots of golf courses nearby. 

Garden Retreat

Step-Free Access

Resort Access

Found in a resort with a tropical vibe, this apartment caught our eye thanks to the fantastic surroundings. The home itself is simple but has everything you need for an extended stay – the terrace stood out to us in particular as a spot to get some privacy while still enjoying the sun. The large communal pools will be a real hit with the kids, and golf enthusiasts will be pleased to know there are two courses nearby. And if you want to hit the coast, Puerto Banús is just a short drive.

Sunset Terrace Hideaway

This beautifully restored 19th-century Andalusian farmhouse is an eco-friendly retreat that offers the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern luxury. It’s surrounded by hectares of private farmland where horses, pigs and sheep roam free. It feels like a step back in time with a traditional country kitchen and a cottage-like living room inside, but there’s also a modern kitchen for 21st-century cooking. Within the sprawling gardens, you’ll find plenty of places to dine and unwind with a view of the Andalucian hills and the swimming pool is naturally treated with salt water. For supplies (perhaps for a barbecue), the quaint mountain town of Alcalá del Valle is 3 kilometres away. 

The Mountain Retreat

Accessible Parking

Stair Gates

Just look at the beautiful sea views from this home’s shared rooftop pool (open from the 1st of May until the 1st of October). There’s a private wraparound terrace at this apartment, too – perfect for watching the sunrise over the Mediterranean. There are only four sunloungers, so you may need to pop your towel on one to claim it, but there's a sofa and dining area as well. We love that the bedrooms open out onto the balcony too. This development is within walking distance of San Pedro de Alcántara with its restaurants, bars and beaches, while glitzy Marbella is around a twenty-minute drive away.

Spanish Seasons

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Indoor and outdoor living blend into one at this stunning home in the heart of Marbella. Whoever designed this place clearly had a thing for natural light – windows and French doors feature throughout, meaning you can soak up views of your lush surroundings from almost any room in the house. The first-floor terrace isn’t bad either and is accessible via all three bedrooms, so there won’t be any squabbling about who gets to sleep where. And when it comes to activities, there’s plenty to keep you occupied, from the nearby golf courses to the private pool. What more could you ask for?

Mountain Gleam

This villa is exactly what you’d expect from a pad on Marbella’s Costa del Sol. It’s modern, minimal and luxurious. The outside is the star of the show here, featuring a large pool, a hot tub and a sauna. Great views can be admired from every turn – there are multiple alfresco dining areas, as well as a rooftop lounge – perfect for watching sunsets with your loved ones. When thoughts turn to excursions, the sands of Playa Guadalmina are a short drive away, as is the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, or why not have your host arrange a boat trip? 

Palm Trees & Pools

This stylish apartment is in a village complex on the charming Costa del Sol. At home, we think the private terrace is ideal for alfresco dining and sunbathing. However, the main bedroom's open-plan en-suite may not be the best option for shy showerers. There are excellent on-site facilities here, including seven outdoor pools, a gym, and a restaurant, so families settle in for a fun and relaxing stay. Going out? You're situated between Estepona and Puerto Banús for beachside trips.
