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?

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.

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.

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

Parking On Premises

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.

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

Board Games

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.

Andalusian Ambience

Spread over 6 hectares of the Andalusian countryside, this old farmhouse finca consisting of five independent suites and a swimming pool invites large groups of friends and families to experience the surrounding natural beauty of Ronda la Vieja. It's perfect for those wanting plenty of outdoor living areas to get together and enjoy alfresco meals, while also having the option of spending some quiet time in their own private space. While the owners and their three loveable dogs live on-site, they'll keep out of your way for the most part. And, you'll also be able to book a range of luxury add-ons, from private chefs to yoga and pilates classes. 

A Sweet Summer Song

Single-Level Home

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

Pool / Snooker Table

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

Balcony / Patio

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

Home Cinema Setup

Nestled along the sunny Marbella hillside, this villa offers relaxed, tranquil settings lovingly embraced by nature and doused in warming sunlight. Step into calming, neutral surroundings with plush, comfortable furnishings and a wealth of amenities and entertainment for every guest. Start your mornings off the right way with a cup of something warming and a belly full of delicious local delicacies out on the alfresco dining area, enjoying the cool morning breeze and melodic birdsong. We can think of no greater way to spend the day than relaxing on poolside sun loungers with a good book, catching the perfect holiday tan, or spending evenings with a nice refreshing glass of wine in the private jacuzzi. Younger guests will have the time of their lives splashing around in the private pool, or discovering their competitive side in the games room.

If you can tear yourself away from this gorgeous villa, there are ample opportunities for exploration in the nearby city of Marbella, which can be found in a fifteen-minute drive from home, and offers luxury bars, high-end boutiques, world-class restaurants and exclusive beaches. Or tee off at any one of the local golf resorts, which lie a meagre 5-minute drive from home. We highly recommend trying the local tapas, which are typically rich in flavours and quality, and typically include dishes such as croquetas, boquerones, pulpo, patatas bravas, and pimiento del piquillo.

Spend lazy days soaking up the Spanish sun at this beautiful contemporary villa on the Costa del Sol coastline. With sleek, modern decor that elicits a calming, tranquil atmosphere, this is a home you’ll relax in from the moment you first step foot over the threshold. We love the white walls, almost like a blank canvas that doesn’t distract from the warming wood tones or unique pieces of artwork dotted around the villa. 

The outdoor spaces here are serene. Lounge poolside, pop your earphones in and listen to some music or your latest podcast as the sun warms your skin. The covered terrace is the ideal spot to enjoy a delicious home-cooked dinner, paired with a bottle of wine. Gathered with your loved ones around the table, with the breeze gently whispering through the palm trees, you’ll feel contentment wash over you. For views to remember, climb the stairs to your rooftop terrace where you can sink into the sofas and spot the Mediterranean peeking at you past the rooftops. 

Locally, if you’re drawn to the sea it’s just a short stroll to the golden sands of San Pedro beach or you can hop in the car and head to the vibrant marina of Puerto Banus. 


Serenity by the Sea

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

Ping Pong Table

Amid the rugged mountains and unspoilt countryside of the Alcornocales National Park, this home is a rustic hideaway with breathtaking views. It’s also wonderfully remote and private, making this the ideal opportunity to switch off, relax in the garden and immerse yourself in the saltwater swimming pool – which can also be fenced upon request (a great option for those travelling with children). Inside, the rooms are traditional and a little dated, but filled with charm and character. For adventures further afield, it’s just 12 kilometres to the pretty pueblo of El Bosque, and a little further on to Arcos de la Frontera (thirty-minutes away). 

The Moon Song 

Accessible Parking

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

The views from this stone-clad villa are breathtaking. Perched on a hillside overlooking Zahara Lake and the mountains of the Sierra Margarita, this home invites you to soak up the wide-sweeping scenery in all its glory from the patio, grounds and private pool. While the interior isn’t half as spectacular as the villa’s surroundings, terracotta floors, exposed beams and a Spanish-style hearth in the living room add a touch of rustic, traditional charm. When it comes to exploring nearby, you’ll find local amenities in the village of El Gastor (2km away), while the whitewashed town of Zahara de la Sierra is a drive around the other side of the lake, and Ronda is thirty minutes away by car. 


A Touch of Sun

This recently refurbished Andalucian villa has all the ingredients you could want for a relaxing break in the Spanish sunshine. We can't really start with anything other than the swimming pool that takes up most of the garden, which is overlooked by palm trees and surrounded by loungers.

Around the home itself, you'll find a terrace that stretches around the property with a lounge, alfresco dining area and a pretty impressive outdoor kitchen set-up. It's fair to say that you could spend the bulk of your time outside, but that would be being the modern interior a disservice. There are plenty of standout features behind the front door, from the sleek wooden kitchen and spa-standard bathrooms to the crocodile-shaped bench in one of the bedrooms.

And the location's not half bad, either. You can be standing on the golden sands of Playa del Saladillo in around twenty minutes on foot or strolling around the designer boutiques of Puerto Banús in just under the same amount of time in the car.

Summer Kisses

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

Games Console

Stair Gates

This apartment is an ideal base for those looking for a fuss-free stay. On the doorstep of Costa del Sol’s beaches and Marbella’s golf clubs, there are endless opportunities for activities nearby. Set within a holiday complex, you'll have shared access to the pool and gardens. And when you’re seeking privacy, you’ll have a private terrace and barbecue to enjoy grilled feasts alfresco. When it comes to exploring, Puerto Banus is a ten-minute drive away, while Marbella's old town is reachable in twenty minutes.

Indoor Pool

Set in a small complex in Estepona, this modern apartment is just a short walk from the sandy shoreline of Playa de la Rada Beach. The town's restaurants and bars are also within walking distance, so you'll be well-placed for a stress-free stay. You'll find an indoor pool and a large outdoor pool lined with sun loungers, plus a gym, that invites you to spend a day or two relaxing at home. With impressive sea views and plenty of outside seating, the private terrace is a real standout too. All in all, it ticks a lot of the right boxes when it comes to a comfortable group getaway.

Sitting in a prime position within Marbella's famed Golf Valley, this is one of those A-list homes that boasts not only impeccable style but also a huge range of amenities that will make your stay completely unforgettable.

Given the copious amounts of sunshine that the region enjoys, it makes sense to start outside and what better way to pass summer afternoons than by paddling in the long swimming pool sitting in the middle of manicured lawns? There are plenty of terraces on which to dry off after a dip, as well as a rooftop space from which to admire the natural majesty of surrounding Nueva Andalucia.

There's just as much to like behind the home's white facade. The gym and yoga room will appeal to those that like to start the day with a bit of a workout, while there's also a sauna in which to tend to sore muscles afterwards. In the main house's living room, the contemporary fireplace is both striking to look at and wonderfully cosy once the sun goes down. We've got similarly kind words for the super-sleek kitchen and bathrooms, plus the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that are nothing but generous when it comes to natural light.

This being Golf Valley, it won't be a surprise to learn that there are more than a few courses in the local area, but don't fret if you're not a fan of the sport – the beach town of Puerto Banus is mere minutes away in the car, while both Estepona and Marbella lie nearby, too.

A Little Opulence Never Hurt

Vacuum Cleaner

24-Hour Front Desk

Bright and modern, this Spanish villa in the prestigious Marbella Club Golf Resort isn't just a pretty face. Sure, it's minimal with bohemian flair, and the private, heated swimming pool and terrace overlooks some of Spain's rolling green hills, but the location is what caught our eye. Only a short drive to the beach and around thirty minutes into the city with its shops and tapas bars, it also has an on-site equestrian centre and a clubhouse with a bar. Certainly, one for the golfing enthusiasts who can take on the same eighteen holes as some of the most experienced have played.

The Faraway World

Doorman

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

Piano

Adding a touch of luxury to Spanish coastal living, this bright and modern villa makes an impression. Vaulted ceilings, stretching windows, and minimal decor sit alongside an indoor pool, cinema room, hot tub, sauna, gym and wine cellar and spills out onto a sweeping, manicured garden. That's where you'll find the private pool tucked away between two wings and patio furniture with excellent sea views. Just a short drive from Marbella and 18 kilometres from the coast, this villa offers tranquillity while being within easy reach of Costa del Sol's buzzing nightlife. And with one bedroom situated in a guest house with its own kitchenette, it's perfect for the whole family to enjoy.

Spanish Sweet 

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

Experience Andalusian living with a stay at this peaceful apartment complex along Costa Del Sol's pristine coastline. Not only will you enjoy the modern comforts of your elegant pad, but you’ll also be able to take full advantage of the shared amenities here, including a huge crystalline swimming pool and direct access to a powdery sand beach – it’s bliss. 

An air of luxury sweeps over this home, with its sleek wooden floors, refined furnishings and ambient uplighting. The expansive space is designed with a family in mind with its open-plan, indoor-outdoor layout. Wonderfully sociable, you can stretch out on the linen sofa for morning conversations, stretch out in the outdoor lounge with refreshing drinks, and gather around the slick dining table, under the stylish pendant, for a tapas feast with your loved ones. 

Head into the plush bedrooms for a night of restful sleep – the elegant décor and pillowy beds are everything you’d dream of. Wake up revitalised,  ready for another day of exploring El Paraíso. Practice your swing on one of the local golf courses, or make a trip to Marbella’s city centre for a day shopping the upscale boutiques and dining in one of the charming seafront restaurants in Puerto Banús marina, a twenty-minute drive away.

Sur La Costa Del Sol

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

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

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.
