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.

Fenced Property

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

Access to Beach

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.

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.

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.

A rustic home steeped in Andalusian charm, this place is perfect for couples and small families planning a relaxing getaway to the Spanish countryside. Whether you’re here for the climate or simply to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this Mediterranean bungalow has got you covered, nestled deep in the heart of a valley at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. 

Start your day with a café con leche on the porch, then slip into your swimming costume and beat the heat with a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool. You’ll catch a glimpse of the mountains here, but if you want to get a closer look, there are plenty of hiking trails to discover nearby so why not set off for an afternoon ramble with your fellow guests? Don’t worry – this place isn’t going anywhere. 

Later, when you’ve had your fill of being out and about, your rustic abode will be waiting to welcome you back, boasting a wealth of home comforts that’ll feel like a dream come true after a busy day of hiking. Savour a glass of wine on the living room sofa then whip up a quick evening meal to tuck into at the patio table. Then when the sun has long disappeared behind the garden’s olive trees, head to bed and let the sounds of the countryside lull you to sleep. 

Into the Valley

Outdoor Shower

Nestled in the picturesque Tíjola Valley, with the Sierra Nevada mountains behind and the rolling hills of the Sierra de Lújar in front, this location is hard to beat when it comes to tranquillity and stunning views. You'll be completely undisturbed here, and although you'll need to hire a car to get around, the nearest beach of Costa Tropical lies just a thirty-minute drive away, with the charming town of Órgiva 3.5 kilometres from the house. Inside, the decor is a little dated, but we reckon most of your time will be spent outside, exploring the area or lounging by the fenced private pool. There's also a dining terrace equipped with a barbecue, so you can enjoy alfresco suppers long into the endless summer evenings. 

The Oasis in Power

Balcony

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.

Planning a luxurious trip? A short drive from Marbella, this sea-facing home offers extra services to make your holiday memorable. Though the poolside seating and outdoor dining options are fantastic, we love the amenities downstairs. There's a gym, a conference room, a private bar and pool and poker tables – it goes without saying that you'll have everything you need. While one of the en-suites lacks privacy, shy showerers can always hop into another bathroom. We recommend a car to explore the coast, though Calahonda Beach and a golf course sit on your doorstep.

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

Blender

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.

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.

Positioned in Cabopino, between Spanish holiday resort towns Marbella and Fuengirola, the villa is ideally located with easy access to the Costa del Sol's luxury golf courses, beaches, shopping and nightlife. And that's before we've even got started on the villa itself. 

Boasting spectacular south-facing views of the Mediterranean sea, enjoy the serene scapes come night or daytime. Balancing indoor and outdoor living couldn't be easier here as bi-fold doors bring the outside in and extend the living area out onto the patio. So relax by the pool on the day beds or perch with a book in the shade on one of the plush sofas. 

We love the clean lines and blue and white colour scheme seen throughout the villa, which offers a soothing space to relax in style. Underfloor heating carried across the main rooms during the slightly chillier months will keep your toes warm. Meanwhile, premium quality entertainment features, including Sonos speakers, Apple TV, and the decked-out kitchen, will keep you occupied even if the sun isn't shining outside. 
There's also an a second lounge hang-out area in the basement of the home, which could be used as a gaming room or extra living space for the children. 

Since you'll be just a fifteen-minute drive away from Marbella and Fuengirola, there's plenty to see and do beyond the villa too. You'll also be within an easy ten minutes walking distance of Cabopino's protected dunes and marina, ideal for a stroll or dining out at one of the many seafront restaurants. Not to mention Luna Beach, which is only 500 metres away and an idyllic spot for watching the sunset over drinks and live music at the local beach restaurant and cocktail bar.

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

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. 

White & Blue

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.

This wonderful home in the beautiful hills of Frigiliana allows you to experience a moment of full relaxation, surrounded only by the birds singing and the aroma of the bloom trees, in a sensory balance you will look forward to experiencing. The outside space truly shines – from your patio, take in the amazing views of the neighbouring, lush-vegetation hills while dining alfresco with your loved ones. While the private pool is a joy, relax on the sun loungers with a book of your choice, before cooling down in the pool when the heat becomes too much.

Step inside to find this traditional home with contemporary amenities that blend in with the rustic furniture and design that characterises the villa, producing a warm feeling you won't want to leave anytime soon, especially when you’re cosy on the sofa, warming up by the fire on those cold evenings.

Spend the day driving into Frigiliana, marvelling at the wonderful small alleys with their colourful doors and pot plants everywhere, and conclude the evening climbing up to the Castle of Lizar, not for the castle, which is now gone, but for the views back down over Frigiliana to Nerja and the ocean.


The Summer of June

Hot Tub

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

This light-filled apartment is contemporary to a tee. It's a squeeze for all six guests since two will sleep on the sofa bed, but there's a lot to like despite the smaller size. The private plunge pool is the perfect antidote to Costa del Sol's endless rays, and the terrace is a prime spot for socializing and admiring the distant Mediterranean Sea views. You'll have a slew of resort amenities to take advantage of – we're talking communal swimming pools, on-site restaurants, a fitness centre, and a sauna and steam room. And the location isn't bad, either. Playa Faro de Calaburras is 650 metres away, while just a little further lies Fuengirola (2 kilometres) and Marbella (24 kilometres).

Sleek Sapphire

Sun Umbrellas

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

Sun-soaked and overlooking the coast, this apartment makes it easy to enjoy Mediterranean living. From the private rooftop pool and terrace to the contemporary rooms, you’ll find everything you could need to switch off and savour quality time together. At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed, but it’s a great option for families with children’s amenities available for an additional fee. You can also enjoy access to a communal pool, a gym and a sauna throughout your stay. And for explorations further afield, Fuengirola and Mijas are both within easy reach. 

A Brighter Day

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. 

Paradise Place

Treat your guests to a wonderful getaway in Andalusia with a stay at this villa. Whether you're planning some excursions or simply want to take it easy, it's the perfect place to kick back between your adventures. 

The interior is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light and a jungle theme in the living area to put you in the holiday mood. Step outside, and you'll find a wonderful alfresco dining area where you can sip your morning coffee and enjoy dinner fresh off the barbeque. There's a covered seating area, and plenty of sun loungers so everyone can enjoy some peace and quiet. And, best of all, there's a glittering swimming pool, where you can take a dip and admire the views over the Andalusian countryside. 

If you're feeling active, lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to explore the rugged landscapes. There are plenty of charming white-washed towns and villages to explore, including Cómpeta which is just a short drive away. And, if you fancy a day by the sea, you can drive to the Costa Del Sol in around forty minutes to spend some time on the sand.

A short drive away are the charming towns of Málaga, Benalmádena, and Mijas.

Sweet Spanish Song 

Foosball / Table Football

A sense of calm will wash over you from the moment you arrive at this idyllic home. Surrounded by palm trees and fragrant gardens, this grand villa in the Costa del Sol has beautiful views of the mountains, sumptuously decorated rooms, and a spectacular swimming pool. The villa is designed in the opulent Ancient Roman style, with a pillared portico entrance that leads through to the atrium with a fountain at its centre. A shaded terrace wraps around the house, with plenty of places to relax, an alfresco dining table and a high spec barbecue for whipping up traditional Spanish feasts. 

Start the day with a dip in the crystalline waters of the pool, before enjoying breakfast on the terrace. There are plenty of sun loungers to relax on, as well as a ping pong table for a quick games in between sunbathing. You could easily spend all week admiring the gardens and splashing around in the water, but there’s plenty to explore nearby too. This home is on the outskirts of the famous Mijas Golf Resort, with two excellent 18-hole courses, and also a short drive to the buzzy town of Fuengirola, with its beautiful beach. After a day of sun, sea, and sand, come home and enjoy cocktails on the terrace while the kids run around in the garden and play on the trampoline.

Villa Romana

Situated on the ever-popular Costa del Sol, this Mediterranean villa places you within driving distance from several beaches on the sandy shoreline. By staying in Cerrado del Águila, you can play on some of Andalusia's top golf courses sitting right on your doorstep. Alternatively, if you fancy a day trip to nearby Fuengirola, a great shopping experience awaits, and the Bioparc promises a zoo with naturalistic enclosures.

Winning you over with its easy charm, there's no denying that this white-painted home could slot into any Spanish townscape. Complete with shaded seating spots and leafy greenery, we think you'll be spending most of your downtime out on the multi-level terrace. What better way is there to cool off than by dipping your toes into a private plunge pool? Fire up the barbecue for sunset suppers while you discuss tomorrow's itinerary over a glass of local wine. Or, gather at this delightful dining table and tuck into a traditional feast of tapas instead.

Walk Barefoot

Playground

Set just 450 metres from the beach in La Cala de Mijas, a charming fishing village in Costa del Sol, the location of this intimate apartment complex is spot on. Well-geared to family stays, there’s a communal children’s pool alongside the shared main swimming pool and a private balcony with sea views to admire once little ones are tucked up in bed. Break up pool or beach days with a round of golf – there are over 12 courses within a ten-minute drive. And don't miss sightseeing in history-rich Málaga City – an easy drive along the coast.

Flavours of Andalusia

Looking for a one-of-a-kind home with a heaven-sent view to boot? Well, they don’t come more character-filled or awe-inspiring than this. Perched high on the hills of Granada and just a short drive from the sandy shores of Lake Iznajar, this ancient church is lovingly reimagined into a unique retreat for relaxation and reflection. 

Step inside, and the house seems so frozen in time you can almost hear the old church bell ring. Ochre-washed walls and vaulted ceilings bring all the historic charm, and in the central nave now lies a vast double-height living space. And don’t get us going on those hand-painted frescoes – best admired from upstairs on the lofty mezzanine level. And there are some surprising flurries of 21st-century living to indulge in here, too. Starting with that infinity pool with a counter-current swim jet to bank some laps as you soak up the jaw-dropping vistas of the Cordova Subbética mountain range.

As night falls, the home takes on a truly magical feel, with the lights of the nearby town, Algarinejo, flickering on and a blanket of stars twinkling above. Cosy up on the Balinese bed outside with drinks to catch a shooting star – we can’t think of a finer spot to toast a day’s end.

In Seventh Heaven

Located on a resort, just a ten-minute walk from Mare Nostrum Beach, this apartment is all about kicking back and enjoying the sunshine. You'll have access to a number of communal amenities, from swimming pools and a tennis court to a gym and a shuttle train for getting around the grounds. When you’d like some privacy, the home boasts a terrace for alfresco dinners set to a backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. Those wishing to stay as a group of six should note two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living area.
