Set on a hilltop overlooking the sea, this home in Almuñécar on the Costa Tropical is a peaceful, secluded hideaway. Dazzlingly white against the green, craggy hills, it feels like a private resort with its large outdoor patio and cool, kidney-shaped pool. Inside, a muted palette, exposed beams and wooden furnishings create a warm and traditional feel in the living room and bedrooms while outside, sunny rest and relaxation await. Spend your day taking dips in the pool or lounging on the deck chairs beneath the palm umbrella. Or, hop in your car for a 10-minute drive to Almuñécar’s centre and San Cristóbal beach. After a day spent soaking up the panoramic sea views from your private oasis or adventuring to the coast, come back for cocktails on the patio followed by a barbecue dinner beneath the stars.

Bright and welcoming, this villa makes the perfect escape for families and friends looking for a break in the Spanish sunshine. The balcony immediately calls to you, tempting you outside with spectacular vistas of the sparkling Spanish coast. With a large family-style dining table, you can enjoy this space for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and don't forget those evening sundowners. Inside, the easy-on-the-eye styling will feel relaxing and cool after a day spent in the sunshine. Downstairs, the shared pool glitters invitingly. You'll have to drag yourself away from those magnificent sea views to explore the surrounding area, where you'll find cafes, restaurants and La Herradura beach all within 10 minutes' walk.

Looking out over the rugged cliffs to the sparkling sea, this terraced villa is on the edge of the coastal town of Herradura. Here you’ll find a sheltered bay for days at the beach (700 metres away), and plenty of cafés and restaurants serving tapas and fresh seafood. It’s a fifteen-minute drive along the coast to the centre of Almuñécar, whose picture-perfect Old Town is filled with boutiques and restaurants spilling out into the cobbled streets. Return to the private terrace of your villa, with beautiful views over the sea all the way to the horizon. Enjoy a tapas feast of your own at the outdoor dining table or settle in on the shaded sofa for a sundowner at the end of the day. Inside, raw wood and black furnishing combine to create a Japanese-zen-like feel to the open-plan living room. The sleek, modern kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and the second bedroom has its own sea view from the window. If you want to cool off from the southern Spanish sun, there's a shared pool with a simply stunning ocean view too.

This postcard-perfect home is quietly tucked away in the outskirts of Salobreña. It's quintessentially Spanish, with a terracotta-tiled roof, stone floors and wooden beamed ceilings, but the interior also plays tribute to Moorish design, with its ornate mosaic tiles and lanterns. The top-floor terrace enjoys views out towards a sparkling sea – we think a vista like this is best enjoyed with a plate of delicious food and something cold in had, so fire up your personal barbecue for a relaxed evening in. Come daytime, make use of your tranquil setting and relax in the classically styled Mediterranean garden, taking in the scents of the citrus trees and bougainvillaea. Salobreña is located at the southern tip of Spain, just an hour's drive from Granada, where you'll find a melting pot of African and European influences. Closer to home, make sure you pay a visit to the eye-catching, tenth-century Moorish castle, Castillo de Salobreña.

It’s not hard to see why this home was featured on the Netflix documentary, 'The World's Most Extraordinary Homes’. Occupying an enviable position on the Granada coast, this unique coastal sanctuary has been designed to inspire optimum comfort and relaxation. From the heated saltwater pool and peaceful terrace to the incredible sea views, this is the perfect setting for a refreshing retreat. It’s also well suited to families with plenty to explore in the surroundings. The nearest beach is just 5-kilometres away, while the close proximity to the Sierra Nevada means its a great spot for adventure lovers.

The Dragon House

Board Games

Tennis Court

With two dining areas, a sprawling tropical garden and a private plunge pool boasting panoramic views of the mountains above and the shimmering sea below, this contemporary villa is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to lie back and unwind. 

Upon entry, you'll immediately notice the high-end touch that's been given to this bright space – from the modern fireplace to the sleek workstation, wooden dining table and hemp furnishings. Natural light pours in throughout the day, thanks to the slick wall of glass, creating light and airy interiors. Whether you're gathering for a group feast, relaxing with a glass of Spanish wine on the sofa, or keeping one eye on work back home, the apartment caters to all your needs.

There are three sumptuous bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms and even a fitness room, complete with a ping-pong table for competitive evenings in together – but summer in Costa Tropical is best lived outdoors, and at this particular villa, you'll find a beautifully-kept private garden and a covered terrace for idyllic outside living. 

After a quick lunch, pack your seaside essentials and take the five-minute drive to Playa Granada for a fun-filled day of sand, sea and surf. Having worked up an appetite, we recommend you head into the lively town of Motril for a bite to eat, less than ten minutes away by car.

Contemporary, comfortable, and convenient – this home has it all. It’s in La Herradura, just five minutes from the beach, and with excellent day trip options including Granada and Nerja. You’ll also have access to a nearby resort and private beach club. The villa itself is modern and attractive, with simple decor that lets the sea and mountain views take centre stage. There’s plenty of outdoor space, including a terrace set up for alfresco dining, a lounge space, and the communal swimming pool. Best of all, you’ll have a private Jacuzzi to unwind in, perfect after a day of hiking or watersports.

This stunning Andalusian villa is the perfect getaway for a holiday with your loved ones. The interior of the home is very nicely designed, but it’s the exterior we’re most enthusiastic about. With an infinity pool, ping-pong table and several lovely terraces (including a rooftop one) we don’t blame you if you’d like to spend all your time here. If you want the best of both – the beach is a thirty-minute walk away and the beautiful cities of Málaga and Granada are roughly an hour’s drive down the road.

Dreaming Of Andalusia

In one direction, you’ve got the meandering trails of the Sierras de Tejeda
Mountains and in the other, it’s a leisurely walk to Nerja’s beachfront. Simplicity is the watchword, inside and out. The backyard is dominated by a shimmering swimming pool – as it should be in the southern Spanish heat. The huge, open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is sleek, if a little sparse – a place for folk that prefer clear surfaces, no clutter and plenty of sunlight streaming in through walls of glass. Up on the first floor, a balcony looks out over the sea.

Swedish design meets traditional Spanish architecture at this gorgeous Andalusian apartment we found hidden away in the heart of Nerja. 

Inside and outside blend into one here thanks to elegant floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the stylish living room in natural light. Sink into the plush sofa and while away the afternoon in front of the TV or head out to your private terrace to soak up gorgeous views of the Mediterranean.  If you’re here for sun, surf, and sand, you’re in luck. Not only will you be within easy walking distance of the nearest beach, but you’ll have unlimited access to the resort’s communal swimming pool, perfect for cooling off when temperatures reach their peak.

Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, you’ll find something for everyone to enjoy here. Lose yourself down the pebbled streets of Nerja’s old town or set off for a day of hiking along the Chíllar River, a short cab ride away. With a whole host of attractions and beautiful landscapes at your fingertips, we wouldn’t blame you if you never wanted to leave. 

Azure Horizons

Trash Compactor

Spread out over three floors, this home in Nerja provides plenty of space, making it a great fit for families or groups of friends. There are several areas for mingling here, outside and in, allowing you to be sociable and get some privacy in equal measure. While the fifteen-minute stroll to the sea means this isn't exactly beachfront, the home has plenty of seating areas that catch the sun, a BBQ, and a saltwater pool, so you may find you spend most of your day relaxing at home anyway. Closer by, you'll find three restaurants around five minutes away.

Sun-Kissed in Nerja

An apartment, in the heart of Nerja, with a private heated pool? Count us in. Inside, there’s a kitchen with all the accoutrements for home cooking and an en-suite bedroom with access to the furnished terrace. While this home can sleep four guests, two will be on the sofa bed in the living area, which will compromise any social space. If exploring is on the itinerary, the Balcón de Europa viewpoint and Carabeillo Beach are within easy walking distance of your doorstep.

Single-Level Home

If ever there was a home to welcome you in with bucketloads of charm, this is it. Nestled in the quiet streets of Frigiliana, you’ll feel relaxation wash over you from the moment you step inside and set your suitcase down. The atmosphere created is one of tranquillity, with whites, light wood, green and ochre running throughout every space. We love the interior patio here – such a unique feature where it’s easy to imagine many hours spent with a good book and a glass of wine in this little piece of paradise. With a quaint kitchen packed with everything you could need to rustle up a homemade feast, you can cook a delicious dinner and gather around the table with your loved ones to enjoy good food and quiet conversation.

Start your mornings sitting on the balcony overlooking the sun-drenched streets with a cup of coffee to set you up for the day ahead. With fuel in your belly, grab your bag because it’s time to head out to explore. With your location in the historic town centre, just a short stroll along the picturesque streets and you’ll find bars, restaurants and shops to enjoy. Your days will be well spent in this stunning part of southern Spain, and at the end of a memorable day, your beautiful villa will be waiting to welcome you home. 

Picture Postcard Perfect

Private Parking

Fenced Property

Mosquito Net

Nestled in the hillside overlooking Maro and Cerro Gordo, this villa offers glimpses of the scenic landscape, providing a tranquil setting for a family or group of friends. There’s a swimming pool and trampoline to keep the little ones entertained, and the fully-equipped kitchen and barbecue area mean mealtimes are a cinch. Due to the rural location, a car is essential here, though Cañuelo Beach is only 2 kilometres away and it’s a short drive into the heart of Nerja.  

Andalusian Ambiance

With a heated plunge pool, sunny patio and a small balcony from which you can glimpse the sea, this breezy villa is the definition of coastal cool. Inside you'll find two lounges, a glossy kitchen and chic bedrooms that ooze laid-back luxe. Huge windows flood each room with light, creating a sleek, relaxing haven where you can kick back and relax in style. The small patio is perfect for soaking up the Spanish sunshine. After a quick dip in the crystal clear pool, take a breather on the lounge chairs under the shady umbrella. Nibble on tapas when you grow peckish, then gather on the outdoor sofas with your tipple of choice and watch the sunset – pretty dreamy, if you ask us.

When you're in the mood for a bit more action, walk ten minutes to Playa de Burriana and sprawl out in the sand. Nerja is a lively town on the Costa del Sol, yet it retains a lot of charm despite the buzzing atmosphere. There's a market held every Tuesday, plus a myriad of delicious eateries serving up classic Spanish cuisine. The gorgeous Balcón de Europa is a can't-miss – lined with swaying palm trees and built on the foundations of an old fort, the panoramic views from this lookout are absolutely incredible. With boutiques, bars and beaches aplenty, there'll never be a dull day in paradise.

Effervescent

Three levels of comfort await at this home in the heart of Nerja. It won't suit guests who struggle with stairs, but it's bound to be a hit for those who don't mind multi-floor living. Head up to the top-floor terrace to take advantage of the private plunge pool and alfresco dining area. We're big fans of the second kitchen on this level, which makes it easy to whip up a meal without having to clamber up and down. A few of the bedrooms are on the smaller side – and they're all on the first floor – but two have desks for remote working. Location-wise, Playa Burriana and the ever-popular Balcón De Europa are just twenty minutes away on foot.

Soaring in the Sunshine

Rooftop Terrace

Set equidistant from Nerja's dazzling coast and the wander-worthy streets of the hilltop Frigiliana village, you'll find this enticing hideaway deep in the dramatic terrain of Malaga's mountains.

With shady verandas for long lazy Mediterranean feasts and a magnificent rooftop terrace with jaw-dropping vistas for golden hour cocktails, this place is the perfect tonic for relaxation.

For all the home's dazzling-white, contemporary exteriors, inside, there's a distinctly bohemian feel to the interiors with rattan accents and warm wooden hues delivering all the Andalusian vibes you're chasing. And thanks to the double-height ceilings with exposed beams, everywhere feels cool and inviting.

When the coast finally lures you, nearly ten miles of sandy beaches await. The very nearest – Burriana Beach (a twelve-minute drive), gets our vote. Then make a pit stop in Nerja's Old Town (a ten-minute drive) to dive into its countless authentic restaurants for a taste of Malaga. Or, in the opposite direction, Frigiliana (a ten-minute drive) with its tapas bars tucked away within the atmospheric narrow streets of the Moorish old quarter. Just be sure to make it home for sunset – the views from that rooftop terrace are out-of-this-world.

Mermaid of Malaga

DVD Player

Not likely to run out of seating here, this beautiful Spanish villa has a patio with a private swimming pool, oriented to get the sunshine all day long. Stretch your legs out here or on a walk into town, where you can find restaurants and pavement cafes lining the cobbled streets. If a beach day is where you're happiest, then Burriana is only minutes away. Though the living room might be a little cramped for fourteen, the kitchen table can be pushed closer to the outdoor dining set to make it more sociable for the entire group.

Sun Tones

Perfectly sized for two, this apartment is just a short stroll from Nerja's Playa el Salón and the palm-lined Balcón de Europa. With the calm blue waters of the Mediterranean practically on your doorstep, the location is pretty hard to beat – and that's not including the array of Spanish restaurants, vibrant bars and independent shops all within walking distance. 

We're sure soaking up Costa del Sol's infinite sunshine will be on the top of your to-do list. And trust us – there are plenty of spots back home to do just that. Make a beeline for the communal pool and enjoy a swim underneath the cloudless skies – the view of rolling waves and swaying palms is spectacular – or pull up a chair and bask in the salt-tinged air on your private balcony. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or cocktails come evening, and it's even better when the sun goes down and the stars begin to twinkle overhead.

Inside, the cream-coloured living space is a balm from the endless rays. Sink into the armchairs and rest tired feet after a day of exploring Nerja, then pad into the small kitchen to rustle up a light bite to eat. Whether you're a couple in search of a romantic getaway or a solo traveller craving some fun in the sun, we think this pad is exactly what's needed.

Summertide

Beach / Pool Towels

Nautical in whites and blues, this single-level home on the outskirts of Adra offers one of the most breathtaking views over the Mediterranean. We bet you can already see yourself out in the relaxed space, sunbathing in the sunloungers with a pair of oversized sunglasses thanks to a recent trip into Adra or Almeria – both under an hour away. Slip into the pool for games of shoulder wars or marco polo and dine alfresco at the beautifully tiled table after a quick lunchtime barbecue. 

Mornings of contemplation can be spent under the vine-covered pergola poolside or head out front to enjoy your coffee on the porch. After breakfast you might even fancy a friendly competition of table football out there – that is if you’re not reading or dozing off in the hammock. 

Kindle a fire in the statement fireplace and spend evenings playing board games or building puzzles with the flames dancing in the background. Explore the beaches along the coast and don’t leave without exploring some of the wineries of the area.

Indoor Pool

Sauna

Seeking a beach holiday on the Costa del Sol? This seafront apartment puts couples only 100 metres from the Playa de Canuela. With a golf course and restaurants on your doorstep, it's an excellent spot in Torremolinos. But if that isn't enough to win you over, we're sure the on-site amenities will. After sunbathing by the communal pool and exercising in the gym, this home's open-plan layout keeps itinerary planning casual. You'll love the mountain views on the horizon while hanging out on a private terrace.

Mediterranean Romance

Surrounded by terraced gardens linked by charming paved pathways and stone walls, the outdoor space at this home on the Costa del Sol is a delight. Follow the brick bridge over the pond to reach two hanging basket chairs, which you can swing in while admiring the view over Frigiliana, known as the prettiest village in Andalucia. There’s also an outdoor kitchen with a coal barbecue for alfresco meals, and two dining areas on the terraced balconies. After a swim in the pool, relax with a book on the daybed. Children will be kept busy too, thanks to a small garden house, hammock and table tennis.

Mango Orchard

Wedged between the coast and the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, this beautiful home has the best of land and sea. Allocate days to exploring the sweeping views of the nature reserve as you set out to find the hidden waterfalls on the many hiking trails. On other days, you can appreciate the sunshine by doing absolutely nothing more than making yourself comfortable on the beaches along the coast. Sunbathe, frolic in the surf and built sandcastles as the sun begins to dip. 

Come home to a bright and cosy home where you can utilise the open dining, kitchen, and living space by going back and forth to top up your coffee as you keep your nose in a novel. Enjoy a Spanish tortilla for breakfast at the dining table and fire up the barbecue for a grilled lunch alfresco. Enjoy drinks around the pool, slipping into the cool waters whenever the heat gets a little intense. 

Spend balmy evenings outside, conversing under the stars as you enjoy another glass of wine.

Accessible Parking

Sitting peacefully on the eastern tip of the Costa del Sol, this contemporary penthouse is immersed in the sunny spirit of its location. From the bright, open-plan design to the beautiful views and communal swimming pool, this is the perfect setting for a laid-back coastal retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed from the moment of arrival. 

Enjoy quiet mornings watching the sunrise from one of the three terraces, enjoy a rejuvenating dip or energising workout and spend idyllic afternoons relaxing on the rooftop. Inside, you’ll find the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to prepare Spanish-inspired meals, while the air-conditioned bedrooms welcome you to enjoy total relaxation. The master bedroom (with en-suite bathroom) has direct access to the terrace – and with expansive sea views, this is the perfect spot for sunset drinks. 

From here, days can be spent exploring the beaches and coves nestled along the coastline. Spend an afternoon strolling the pretty streets of nearby Nerja, soak up the atmosphere from a bar and mingle with locals and tourists on Balcón de Europa. 

Sea Glimmer

Free Parking

Formed by fresh, green grass and encompassed by the striking mountainside, this is one of the most beautiful gardens in Andalusia. Sun-soaked and secluded, it's the type of garden that makes you feel like you're the only people in the region. 

Start your days lounging on the sun beds, taking in the warm rays of the sun and cooling off in the crisp, water in the pool. When you're feeling peckish, rustle up some tasty plates of tapas and gather around the cute table under the veranda. There's also a BBQ if you fancied some crispy chorizo or grilled vegetables. 

Inside the home, you'll find an understated living space. A neutral colour palette and minimalist design creates a cosy atmosphere to relax, whether that's by chilling on the sofas or sipping a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar.

On the days where you want to explore the region, you're just a few minutes from the charming town of Orgiva. Here, you'll find authentic restaurants, cosy cafes and a selection of unique stores. 

At Home on the Green

By staying in central Nerja, not only will you enjoy easy access to the surrounding shops and restaurants, but powdery beaches await close by. Out of the landmark-dotted town, the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama mountain range attracts hikers and nature lovers alike. Boasting sea views over the townscape, this bright home encourages a Mediterranean pace of life. Fancy a post-siesta barbecue? With poolside sunbathing and alfresco dining spots, it's a great pick for families seeking balance on the Costa del Sol.

Sipping Sangria

Situated in the Costa del Sol countryside, a short drive from the heart of Nerja, this easy-going villa is a relaxing escape for families or friends alike. Inside, expect soothing turquoise tones and a sociable open-plan layout. Spend mornings lounging on the sofa or throw together a flavourful breakfast at the fully-equipped kitchenette. Take your dishes out onto the terrace and dine in the shade before plunging into the inviting swimming pool. 

Look forward to whiling away the hours on a sun lounger with a paperback in hand or, if you’d prefer to explore, jump in the car and take the 3.2-kilometre drive to Caletilla Beach. Bob about in the clear water then stroll into town for a fantastic selection of bars, restaurants cafes and stunning Mediterranean views from the Balcón de Europa. 

Calm at Heart

Parking On Premises

If you’re looking for a villa with a view, your search is over. Step into this home and out onto your sun-drenched terrace, and you will be met with sea views as far as the eye can reach. It’s what we love most about this home and you can almost feel the waves washing a sense of calm over you. With a saltwater infinity pool and a delightful area for alfresco dining, you have plentiful options when it comes to finding somewhere to enjoy those vistas. 

Nestled in the hills of Málaga, you have the best of both worlds – Spanish countryside and the sea nearby. Characterised by the wash of terracotta, this home is contemporary with a traditional Spanish feel. It’s a home just asking for friends or family to gather, rest, relax, and enjoy a little downtime together. 

After a restful sleep, grab yourself a morning coffee and enjoy stunning views of the sunrise from your patio. As lunchtime lingers and your tummy starts to rumble, you can fire up the barbecue and enjoy some food with an ice-cold beer in hand, before settling down for a little siesta. When you’re ready to get out and explore the local area, you are perfectly positioned to head to the white-washed town of Torrox. With inland and coastal beauty spots so close by, this home is situated where mountains merge into beaches, providing everything you could want from your time away, from views to daily entertainment. 

Terracotta Tranquility

Only a 250-metre stroll from Torrecilla Beach, you can see the bright Alboran Sea from this vibrant apartment. With all the charm of the Costa del Sol at hand, spend your time in Nerja lazing on powdery sands or exploring the atmospheric streets via a horse-drawn carriage. Better yet, why not make use of the extra services available and book fun-filled excursions, where you'll be shuttled from your front door?

Brightened by large-scale windows and abstract artworks, this colourful home enjoys a privileged position. Wake up from a good night's sleep in a calming bedroom, then tuck into churros for a traditional breakfast. We think that this open-plan living space is perfect for conversation, so you can discuss your days easily. Once you return from sightseeing, cool off under a refreshing rain shower. Then, end the day by watching the skies pinken over the rooftops of this Andalusian street while sipping a glass of Moët & Chandon with your loved ones – the private balcony is an excellent spot for just that. 

Lemon Abstract

Situated in a modern apartment complex overlooking the Mediterranean, this cosy home is a great option for couples, families, and groups of friends looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and unwind on Spain’s stunning Costa Del Sol. 

We love the uncluttered feel of the interior here – think white walls and sleek Swedish furniture – but it’s the outside space that really stands out. Boasting lush communal gardens and a secluded private terrace, this is the perfect place to soak up the Spanish sun and unwind with all your favourite people. 

Start your morning with a dip in the dreamy infinity pool then settle in for a day of relaxation on the veranda. When it’s time to eat, grab a bite at one of the city’s leading restaurants – paella, anyone? – or rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal in the well-stocked kitchen. 

If you fancy getting out and about, there’s plenty to keep you occupied in Nerja’s historic centre, but if we were you, we’d be tempted to stay put and make the most of the view. Pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over the glistening Mediterranean before retiring to your comfy bedroom for a good night’s rest. Then get up and do it all over again. What could be better?

Verano Azul

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

There’s no doubt this is one of Nerja’s most impressive sea-grazing apartments. With a Scandi-luxe interior and compelling panoramic views all the way across the Mediterranean, this apartment is a sumptuous place to call home. Get set to escape reality and embrace all things coastal as you retreat to this sensational Malagan oasis.

Inside, it's a vision of its own, with minimal design elements and Spanish-influenced furnishings. Lounging and dining in this space feels cosy and opulent – a linen sofa and marble coffee tables are accompanied by considered touches whilst the sleek wooden table is positioned under the lantern mood lights – allowing you to create your perfect ambience. We particularly love the industrial accents – the iron-framed bedroom is a uniquely cool design feature. We can't speak about this home and not mention the views, however. From your private terrace, there are panoramas of the Balcón de Europa and Carabeo coves –  make the most of the vistas from the cosy lounge chairs, a Malaga digestif in hand.

With access to the resort’s plush daybeds and crystalline pool, you’ll be able to soak up the sun decadently. Though you might find all the relaxation you need is right here at home, the sparking waters along the Carabeo sands are right off your doorstep.

Carabeo Calm

Heated Towel Rail

Nestled on top of a hill and offering stunning views of the ocean, this apartment is ideal for a sunny summer holiday. It’s just a short walk through pretty gardens to Burriana Beach, and Nerja town centre is roughly twenty minutes away on foot, so you’ll be well-positioned for exploring both the coast and inland. This apartment also benefits from having access to a stunning shared pool, where you can cool off from the Spanish sun. You’ll also find a whole host of restaurants and bars right on your doorstep, ideal for when you want to go on an impromptu wander.

Wake up each morning and cook up a tasty Spanish breakfast of churros and coffee, and dine together alfresco around your outdoor dining set while you drink in the views of the ocean. Relax on your private terrace on a sun lounger while you wait for the sun to come up. As the heat rises, head down to the communal pool to cool off, or walk to the beach for a sea swim and a sunbathe. Head to a beach bar for cocktails, or visit the nearby ornamental lake to spot fish and gaze at the lush greenery. As the sun sets, go up to your terrace to sip sundowners while you watch the skies turn pink, or head back out to see what Nerja nightlife has to offer.

Blue Views

In the picturesque coastal town of Nerja, this contemporary villa is tucked away on a cul-de-sac. Featuring a wrap-around balcony and private garden, there are plenty of cosy corners from which to enjoy the sunshine, our favourite being the private pool. We love that you don’t need a car here, as the centre of Nerja is just a fifteen-minute walk away. A stroll in the opposite direction will take you to Playa de Burriana, a long stretch of sandy beach known as the area’s top spot for swimming. You'll also find watersports and beach volleyball here if you're looking for ways to keep the kids entertained.


The Palms

Hot Tub

Under the soft gaze of the surrounding mountains, this whitewashed home shines with the beauty of southern Spain. 

Just a short drive from the town of Alhama de Granada, the rustic charm of this setting feels instantly welcoming. From the spectacular views and traditional interiors to the luxurious garden, swimming pool and tennis court, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. So whether you’re here for a rural retreat or an active adventure, it’s easy to connect with the natural abundance of this location. 

Inside, you’ll find ample space for relaxing and spending quality time together – the dining table lends itself perfectly to intimate candlelit dinners while cosy evenings can be spent by the fire. Outside, the garden welcomes you to enjoy the restorative power of this unique setting. From refreshing dips in the swimming pool to long soaks in jacuzzi, you’ll find yourself refreshed and ready to explore. 

Days can be spent hiking across the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains trails, sightseeing and exploring the beautiful villages and towns of the region – the majestic city of Granada is less than an hour’s drive away.

Underfloor Heating

Outdoor Kitchen

Overlooking the first and second holes of a neighbouring golf course, we feel compelled to stress that this villa is way more than a glorified viewing platform. By all means, sit out on the balcony and watch players make their way along the fairway, but if you're not into the sport, why not paddle about in the heated infinity pool, sit back in the Jacuzzi or cook up something tasty on the barbecue instead?

We're happy to tell you that there are plenty more thrills inside, too. In the games room, you'll find a pool table, bar and kitchenette, while the huge kitchen will be appreciated by the culinary gifted. Elsewhere, there are a couple of elegant bathtubs in which you can luxuriate after a long day exploring the local area.

And there is plenty to see around here. The yachts and shops of Puerto Banús marina take less than ten minutes to reach in the car, and there's also a beach there, too. The historical centre of Marbella is a twenty-minute drive as well.

The Swing of Things

Just take a look at the sea views from this apartment’s private terraces – aren’t they beautiful? There are two terraces – our favourite is the rooftop one reached via a spiral staircase, which has plenty of room for entertaining. More outdoor space is available, but it’s shared – you can lounge by the pool or go for a refreshing dip. There’s also a communal gym to maintain your fitness regime while away. Inside the apartment itself, there are more Mediterranean Sea vistas to enjoy, and there’s a lovely outlook from both bedrooms. Out and about, explore the beaches or charming towns of Nerja and Torrox. We’d recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay.

Serene Sapphire Sea

This sunny holiday home is in a resort in the Capistrano area of Nerja. You’ll have access to the communal outdoor swimming pool, in addition to having your own private terrace. The stunning vistas of the Mediterranean are what make this home so special, as they can be admired from outside, from the living room, and from the main bedroom – is there anything better than waking up to sea views? You’ll only be 2 kilometres from the beach, so you can easily add sandcastle building to the holiday itinerary.

Nestled in the heart of ancient Andalusia, this secluded sanctuary is a modern touch of luxury. Rural and tranquil, the villa is surrounded by raw, natural beauty from every angle – find a sprawling vineyard behind the house and the jagged rocks of the Sierras in the foreground. It's a diverse landscape of colour, unique terrain and sunshine. 

Paying homage to its ancient location, the villa blends traditional design with contemporary quality. Sustainable and ecological materials add an authentic touch to modern technology. 

The huge interior is shaped by open spaces and rustic furniture, sewn together by the cool tiles and whitewashes walls. Wander out to the colourful garden and the vibe transcends into an exotic oasis – palm trees and tropical plant life guard a cute pool and sun beds. A cosy seating area is the idyllic spot to bask in the serenity of your surroundings. 

Such is the abundance of natural beauty nearby, you probably want to explore the region. Your host can arrange a variety of tours and excursions, allowing you to see as much or as little as Andalusia as you like.
