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 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

Central Heating

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.

Nice to haves

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 magical Mediterranean retreat combines traditional Spanish architecture with contemporary Swedish design, creating an utterly unforgettable pad in the heart of Nerja. A penthouse within a private member's club, this home has many surprises in store – including a showstopping rooftop terrace where you can enjoy the panoramic views of the Balcon de Europa.

Guaranteeing a relaxing stay, this home encourages you to do as much or as little as you like. Make time to appreciate all that is unique about this incredible location – wake early to watch the sunrise on the rooftop terrace, then nap on the daybeds before luxuriating in the private hot tub or taking a dip in the shared infinity pool. Dry off with a cocktail in hand and, depending on what sort of mood you're in, either whip up a Spanish feast in the outdoor kitchen or live like a local and explore Nerja's many tapas bars and restaurants. At the day's end, you won't want to resist a nightcap on the terrace – let yourself be mesmerised by moonrise or stargaze to your heart's content.

You'll be hard pressed to find a reason to tear yourself away from this penthouse paradise and yet nearly ten miles of sandy beaches await. The very nearest – El Chorrillo, Calahonda and Carabeillo – are only a short walk away. You're also in the heart of Nerja's Old Town, perfect if you fancy a bit of exploring.

Mediterranean Magic

Safe

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.  

I Capture the Sea

Luxury Bedding

Balcony / Patio

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

Black-Out Blinds

Single-Level Home

Welcome Hamper

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.

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. 

The Golden Sand

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.

Blue Skies & Sunshine

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

Nestled in Nerja, this cosy apartment is well-equipped for a coastal stay. Sure, it’s not the biggest space and the twin bedrooms are on the small side (with a single wardrobe for two), but the balcony is a lovely touch and boasts sparkling sea views, perfect for unwinding with your favourite tipple. You can enjoy those very views from the communal pool, too. With many amenities including shops, a selection of eateries, the town centre and both Burriana and Carabeillo beaches within walking distance, this home’s location is spot on. 

Palm Trees & Sunny Seas

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. 

Noon in Nerja

Juicer

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.

Fenced Property

Mosquito Net

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.

Beams of Wood & Sun

Fireplace

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

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.

Sauna

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

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

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

On the edge of Nerja, where the beachy resort town ends and the wild mountains of Andalucia begin, you’ll find this apartment. It sits in a charming complex of red-roofed villas and apartments reminiscent of Andalucia’s shambling mountain villages. Plus, there’s a huge shared swimming pool, kids’ play area and shops and restaurants onsite.

What we love most about this apartment has to be the view from the private terrace. From the shaded dining table, you’ve got a fabulous panorama over the rooftops of Nerja to the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. There’s also a rattan set of sofa and chairs out here, perfect for a sundowner or two. Inside, it feels like an homage to traditional southern Spain with a cooling tiled floor, crisp white walls and an old, decorative fireplace in the living room. A brick archway separates the living and dining room from the full kitchen. Those that bag the main bedroom can enjoy direct access to the terrace. 

Tangerine Rooftops

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.

Sun worshipers, rejoice. This breezy villa has three private terraces and a communal pool to take advantage of. While some of the interiors may be a little dated, there's plenty of room across its three floors to spread out. There's even a cute playroom for the kids, so it's a great option for families. But the best part of all is the stand-out location. It's just a short walk from Burriana Beach, known for its long coastline, crystal-clear waters and collection of fantastic restaurants, bars and amenities that line the sands.

Sol & Sea

For beauty, space and tranquillity you’ve hit the jackpot. The villa has a separate annexe building (with a double bedroom, twin bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette) so it makes the perfect location for a family get together or catch up with friends. And there are sea views from both villa and annexe, so no need to squabble over rooms. The traditional Spanish village of Frigiliana is nearby, so you can have your fill of tasty tapas and be home to stargaze from the garden in five minutes. The sandy beaches of Nerja are seven minutes down the road. 


Sun Ripened

We never underestimate the power of a killer view. Which is precisely why this blissfully secluded Finca perched high in the valley above the coast of Nerja caught our eye.

Perfectly designed for alfresco living, the vast south-facing terrace is the spot to drink up those sea and mountain vistas (preferably with a glass of something chilled in hand). As is that cool, blue pool with an outdoor shower to beat the heat. And just imagine this place at sunset as you fire up the barbecue – that’s a memory made right there.

Inside, while the interiors aren’t winning any design gongs soon, everywhere feels beautifully cared for and charming. Cool, terracotta floors and exposed stonework bring the character, while the bedrooms feel blissfully quiet with no traffic noise to disturb your beauty sleep here.

If you can tear yourself away from the panoramic scenes outside, you’ll find you’re closer to the action than you think. The nearest village, Frigiliana (a ten-minute drive), is an afternoon well spent with its tapas bars tucked away in the Moorish old quarter. Nerja, with its ten miles of sandy shores, is a twenty-minute drive for something a little buzzier. Or don your hiking boots or hop on your mountain bikes to explore the verdant pine forests of the Sierra Almijara nature reserve and the lost village of Acebucha – trails start close to your door.

Cloud Forest

If you're looking for a home with widescreen views, they don't get more awe-inspiring than this, folks. Perched above Nerja and just a short drive to the beach, this villa makes the most of those dazzling sea vistas from every angle, inside and out.

Indoors, you'll find three bedrooms as serene as the next, with a main suite boasting  knockout seascape views and direct access to the terrace. But the real star of the show here is that three-tiered infinity pool outside. Built into the dramatic rock landscapes and surrounded by so many terraces we've lost count, you could easily while away the whole day here. Drink up the panoramas from the cool, blue pools. Beat the heat under the shady verandas with cheeky siestas in the sea breeze. Then get together for sunset barbecues in the alfresco dining area, complete with a Caribbean-esque bar for those golden hour cocktails.

When it's time to soak up the local culture, you're in the right place. Get off to a flying start in nearby Nerja (a five-kilometre drive) – the cobbled streets of the old town dotted with shops and tapas bars is a morning well spent. Then hit the waves for the afternoon – the sandy shores of Playa de Vilches (a five-minute drive) are a fine place to start.

Sea Reflections

Fenced Garden

Only 500 metres from Carabeillo Beach and Plaza España, this Andalusian townhouse promises panoramic views over Nerja from its sun-kissed roof terrace. Sitting at the foothills of the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara, and Alhama Natural Park, it's easy to see how this charming spot on the Costa del Sol has become so popular. Why not make use of the extra services available and book some adventurous day trips here, where you'll be shuttled from your front door?

Set over three floors, this characterful home caters to pleasure seekers and remote workers alike, as a lamplit desk awaits under the stairs. On your arrival, perhaps you'll treat yourself to a lovely welcome hamper, filled with Spanish breakfast essentials for four. Our favourite thing about this place is the separate terraces, so you can come together outdoors or slip away for a moment of solitude during your downtime. After sightseeing, simply fire up the barbecue for dinner and sip sangria beneath the dappled light of your pergola.

Sunday Sunrays

With breathtaking views across the mountains of Andalusia, this home makes the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat. And with its location just a short drive from the whitewashed town of Torrox, there’s everything you could need to experience the warmth and beauty of southern Spain. 

Set across one floor, you’ll find a wonderful blend of tradition and contemporary comforts here. From the wooden ceilings and terracotta floors to the rustic styling and covered terrace, this is the kind of space that brings ease and joy to daily living. So whether you’re here for a quiet escape or to soak up the sights, this home invites you to enjoy a constant sense of sanctuary. 

Inside, the simple and cosy rooms provide ample space for relaxing, while the outdoor terrace celebrates the energising power of this unique location. From sunrise to sunset, you can enjoy dazzling views whilst swimming in the pool or sipping drinks from a lounger. By night, the covered porch transforms into an idyllic spot for Spanish-style barbecue meals.

From here, you’ll find it’s just a short drive to the beaches of the Costa del Sol, while the beautiful city of Málaga is just a little further along the coastline.

The Mountain Drift 

Wheelchair Access

Meeting / Conference Rooms

Situated on 2.5 acres of manicured gardens and orchards lies this sprawling estate. Influenced by the grand architecture of the Alhambra Palace, it offers mountain views and sumptuous suites – eight of them, to be exact. The design melds modern luxury with traditional Spanish features, and with its open-air floorplan, every room enjoys the salty breeze from the Alboran Sea. 

At its heart, you’ll find the private pool and indoor terrace, the perfect meeting place for friends and family to while away the day poolside on sun loungers. If you’re looking to stay active, the private tennis court will get your blood pumping – and activities like horseback riding, golfing and parasailing are close by. Whether you wish to stay at the villa or mingle with locals in the surrounding villages, this home has everything you need for a relaxed holiday away.

Sunchaser

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

Compact yet well-equipped, you’ll find this apartment tucked between Torrox Costa and Nerja. With sea views from the private balcony and communal swimming pool, there’s ample opportunity to soak up the vistas and work on your tan at the same time, while for days on the coast, you’re spoilt for choice with the beaches of Playa Vilches, Calaceite, and Playazo all within two kilometres. We’d recommend hiring a car to get to the nearby towns, handy, then, that this home also has a private garage – and for those fitness fanatics, there’s an on-site gym too. 

Wicker & Waves

Accessible Parking

This cosy modern apartment has stunning views of the sea and lies in the heart of the eastern coast of Malaga, in the town of Nerja. With a shared pool and your own private balcony, you'll want to spend every day outdoors soaking in the sun and working on that tan. This home is the ultimate in relaxation, and with optional airport transfer and champagne, it can easily be elevated to an even more luxurious experience. Dine alfresco whether you're eating at home or out and about, and experience stunning sea views whether you're in the open-plan living area or waking up in the morning. If you're having a day in, whip up something tasty in the well-equipped kitchen and sit at the dining table (or even the table on the balcony) to get some last-minute work done remotely.

You'll be perfectly connected to the nearby towns of Torrox Costa and Nerja during your stay, so you'll be within walking distance of a whole host of amenities for everyone to enjoy. Nerja is a perfect town for the discerning traveller looking for a wonderful experience without being in the centre of all the usual tourist architecture – you won't find high rises here, and you'll be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the place uninterrupted. Take the short drive to visit the beautiful Burriana beach where you can stroll along the coast that stretches for miles, lined with excellent bars, restaurants and activities for everyone. Or take the even shorter drive to the beautiful little hidden gems of Guilche and Vilches beaches, with a couple of local restaurants nearby and beautiful sandy shores. So whether you're hoping to sample some fantastic local cuisine during your trip, you want to spend some time working on your tan at the golden beaches or you're looking for something a little more fun for the kids, you'll find it all well within your grasp during your stay here. Return home at the end of a busy day to comfort and a gorgeous sunset outside your window.

Exercise Equipment

This contemporary hideaway has everything you could need for a slow-paced stay on the sun-drenched shores of the Costa del Sol.

From the expansive sea and mountain views to the fresh, minimalist design, the owners have created this space to celebrate the uplifting spirit of southern Spain. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to put down your bags and gaze across the horizon. Fortunately, there’s a lovely balcony where you can sit back and watch the magic unfold. From here, make your way down to the communal swimming pool for a refreshing dip, spend a dreamy afternoon relaxing on a lounger and then gather for sunset drinks. However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enhanced by the natural charm of this location. 

For explorations further afield, it's just a short drive to the nearest beaches as well as the vibrant towns of Nerja and Torrox. 

Casa Mira

Tucked into the hillside, gazing lovingly out over Frigiliana, this charming villa is a welcoming, classical Spanish retreat. Inside, the home is bathed in natural light courtesy of the generous arched windows – which we love, by the way, with the shape and floral decoration adding so much character to the living area. White walls, dark wooden beams and mosaic tiles, so befitting of the local area, run through the remainder of the inside space, giving the home a personality of its own. Picture cosy evenings spent here, the fire crackling and casting an amber glow around the room as you get stuck into a good book, tucked up on the comfortable leather sofa. 

Outdoors, this home really sparks into life. The split-level terraces mean you have a selection of places to take in the beautiful view across Frigiliana as far as the beaches of Nerja. Lazy days relaxing on a lounger with the sun’s rays warming your skin as you soak up those vistas will never get old. If the heat becomes a little stifling, cool off in your private pool before lighting the barbecue and settling down to an alfresco meal with loved ones. With an abundance of flowers peppered around the terraces leaving their delicate floral scent hanging in the breeze and the company of those dearest to you, you’ll feel so completely at home, you may never want to leave. 


As Free as a Bird

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. 

Back & Front

This cosy modern apartment has stunning views of the sea and lies in the heart of the eastern coast of Malaga, in the town of Nerja. With a shared pool and your choice of three private sun terraces, you'll want to spend every day outdoors soaking in the sun and working on that tan. This home is the ultimate in relaxation, and with optional airport transfer and champagne, it can easily be elevated to an even more luxurious experience and you won't even have to lift a finger. Dine alfresco whether you're eating at home or out and about, and experience stunning sea views from the open-plan living space and the main bedroom, so you can roll out of bed and onto your own private balcony to greet the day. If you're having a day inside, whip up something tasty in the well-equipped kitchen and dine alfresco with that picturesque horizon stretching out as far as the eye can see. You can even use one of the dining tables to get some last-minute work done remotely, so you can focus on relaxing for the rest of your stay.

This home ensures you're within close reach of the nearby towns of Torrox Costa and Nerja during your stay, so you'll be within walking distance of a whole host of amenities for the whole family to enjoy. Nerja is the perfect town for a discerning traveller looking to avoid being in the centre of all the usual tourist architecture – you won't find high rises here, and you'll be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the place uninterrupted. Take the short drive to discover the hidden gems of the Guilche and Vilches beaches, where you can enjoy local restaurants and picturesque sandy shores. Whether you're looking forward to sampling some fantastic local cuisine during your trip or you want to spend your time basking at the golden beaches, or maybe you're looking for something a little more fun for the kids. Whatever it is, you'll find it within your reach during your stay. Then return home at the end of a busy day to comfort and an unforgettable sunset from whichever terrace suits you best.
