Nice to haves

Nestled between the Andalusian mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this villa has a truly idyllic location. While you would think the stunning scenery is its main lure, that's not the case here – this fortress-like home is remarkable inside and out.

The peaceful outdoor space is undoubtedly a highlight. On hot days – thanks to the Costa del Sol climate – you can cool off in the pool and dry off on one of the surrounding loungers, all whilst soaking up the impressive landscape vistas. Head to the shared tennis courts to admire the arched architecture – they’re worth visiting even if tennis isn’t your forte. As evening comes around, cook up a smoky tapas feast on the barbecue for your loved ones and make the most of the stunning scenery.

When you head inside, you won't be disappointed. The open layout makes the interior feel bright and expansive, while there's an eclectic array of original features dotted about the place that adds a good dose of authentic character. As well as looking the part, it's also really rather cosy – come evening time, why not treat yourself to a soak in the bath before snuggling up next to the fireplace with a glass of Rioja?

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, the golden sands of Playa de la Caleta de Vélez are easy to reach in the car, while you can head into the mountains for unforgettable nature walks. If you’re in the mood for a day trip, the centre of Malaga will take you under an hour to get to when you fancy a day packed full of museums and historic architecture.

Fenced Property

Treat your guests to a magical getaway in the stunning countryside of Andalusia. With plenty of space both inside and out, this marvellous home invites you to kick back and relax in style. 

The villa takes inspiration from classic hunting lodges and Spanish fincas – think terracotta tiles and armchairs upholstered with cowhide. You'll love admiring the impressive art collection, combining modern works with hand-crafted pieces. And, the outside space is just as fabulous, with epic views across the rugged landscapes. Make a splash in the glittering swimming pool, then dry off on the day bed with your holiday read. Then, come evening, fire up the outdoor oven and prepare a delicious alfresco feast to share with your guests – don't forget a bottle of Rioja.

From here you can lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to explore the Sierra de Tejeda, the nearby mountain range. There are several rural villages to discover too – pretty Canillas de Aceituno is roughly fifteen minutes away by car. And, if you fancy a day by the beach, you can drive down to the sandy shorelines of the Costa Del Sol in around forty minutes.

With its Gaudi-inspired outdoor fireplace, Art Deco furniture and locally sourced art, this villa is a quirky yet beautiful place to stay in Andalucia. Situated on the Loma de la Caceria ridge, it boasts sweeping views over olive trees and vineyards and all the way to the Mediterranean. Take in the vista from the blue mosaic pool, or one of the pretty terrace seating areas. Choose to make the most of the outdoor barbecue or organise a private chef to cook for you. There’s also massage and beauty therapists on hand to make your stay as luxurious as possible. 

Vibrant Bougainvillea

Free Parking

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

Perched just above the Andalusian coastline, this southeast-facing villa is the perfect base for a sun-kissed vacation in the south of Spain. 

Inside, traditional Balearic features, such as the terracotta tiling and open-hearth fireplace, combine effortlessly with pops of colour to create a chic and enchanting space. We're particularly fond of the sleek minimalist kitchen and bold prints found throughout the rooms.

Take a look outside and it's not hard to imagine yourself by the saltwater pool with your favourite book in hand, or tending to the barbecue once the sun's gone down. The whitewashed walls are traditional in style and lend a sense of privacy, but peek over the top and you'll see the Mediterranean Sea stretching into the distance.

As you can probably guess from this view, the beach isn't too far away — in fact, the golden sands of Playa del Rincón de la Victoria take about five minutes to reach on foot. There are also caves to explore fifteen minutes' walk from the home, while the centre of Málaga is only twenty minutes away in the car.


Arabesca

Free Parking On Street

You’re practically at cloud height, up at this glorious hilltop location. The Andalucian hills unfurl before you like a map, and each element of this home has been designed to make the most of that stunning panorama. The rustic stone patio is crowned with a deep blue swimming pool, gazing out over the mountains speckled with sugarcube towns. Fire up the Green Egg barbecue for an alfresco feast in the fresh mountain air, or head inside to the dining room with its picture-frame window looking out over the view.

The kitchen has a charming farmhouse feel to wooden cabinets and terracotta floors, and your host can arrange a private chef as an extra if you want to take it easy. Get a fire crackling in the double-sided fireplace to keep the living room toasty warm. When it comes to hitting the hay, bedrooms are pristine white with natural wood accents for a blissful sleep.

In terms of location, you’re a short drive from the white-wash village of Canillas de Aceituno where flower-dappled squares house family-run restaurants. For a day at the beach, it’s just a half-hour drive to Torre del Mar.

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

Rain Shower

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

Parking On Premises

Enjoy an authentic Andalusian experience at this stunning mid-19th-century home, tucked away in one of Vélez-Málaga's oldest neighbourhoods. Heavily inspired by the area's centuries of North African influence, you may well feel as though you've been transported across the Strait of Gibraltar.

A palm-fringed and terracotta-tiled courtyard with a glorious pool is the star of the show. Not only is there an intimate outdoor dining area close to the house, but at the far end, you'll find several sun loungers, a built-in brick barbecue and a couple of hammocks for indulgent afternoon naps.

Despite the traditional design, the interior of this gorgeous getaway shines brightly throughout the day, thanks to an abundance of windows and an interior patio decorated with brightly coloured tiles. The ground floor also comes complete with a large kitchen/dining room where up to twelve of you can squeeze in elbow to elbow around the table, plus a triple room.

Five additional bedrooms are located on the first floor, overlooking the interior courtyard and decorated with beautiful wall hangings, brightly coloured bedding and eye-catching lighting – each one offers its own unique charm. A couple even come with the added benefit of balcony access so you can sip your morning coffee looking out over the pool. 

The town itself is nestled between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean sea, offering easy access to both. Much like the home, the town wears its Moorish influence on its sleeve and it's well worth spending an afternoon strolling through the old town and taking in the architecture. With the Spanish sun high in the sky, why not gather the family together and head to the beach in nearby Torre del Mar? Alternatively, witness the unstoppable resurgence of Málaga a little over half an hour away.

Patio del Moro

Parking On Street

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

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

Beach Essentials

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. 

Tropical Wanderlust

Shared Pool

Lift Access

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.

Summertide

Jacuzzi

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

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 five-minute stroll to the sea – so close, you can just glimpse it from the balcony – this apartment's breezy, open-plan feel makes it a great base for exploring Rincón de la Victoria. Although this flat has a very sleek, contemporary design, it still has plenty of soul – we particularly love the traditional patterned kitchen tiles, vivid pops of colour on the cushy throw pillows and the bright, light-filled living space. Our favourite spot is the sun-kissed balcony. It's where you can start your day off with coffee while watching the neighbourhood wake up and end your evening with a glass of sangria as the tantalising sun goes down beyond the apartment block.

When you fancy exploring, the village has multiple attractions nearby, including golf and shopping, as well as a long sandy beach ideal for sprawling underneath clear blue skies. Hire bikes and go adventuring along the lively seafront with its array of bars and restaurants or, for a bit more buzz, make the twenty-five-minute drive to Málaga – we think it's perfect for a day trip.

This sprawling Spanish casa is surrounded by the most magnificent mountainous terrain. Perfect for a large family or group of friends, this home has contemporary comfort at its core. Feel the beauty of the nature that surrounds you as you take on some laps in your private pool, after which, you can recline on your sun lounger and you’ll feel your worries melting away.

As the evening rolls around, light the barbecue and indulge in a delicious dinner alfresco – all you need is a large bottle of wine and you’re in for a memorable evening. 

The interior decor encompasses natural materials reflective of your surroundings, yet tastefully modernised for a little touch of luxury. After dinner, kick off your shoes and put your feet up on your vast comfortable sofa. For cooler evenings, get the fire going for a cosy ambience. 

We love how each bedroom has a tall headboard, creating a beautiful decorative touch as you drift off into a peaceful night's sleep. As the sun rises over the mountains in the morning, enjoy a little bit of calm as you sip your coffee taking in the spectacular vistas – the benches are a lovely spot to enjoy the peace and quiet to the delicate backdrop of birdsong. 

Peaks of Sunshine

This Málaga holiday home epitomises a ‘pool with a view’. Nestled in the Andalusian hillside, overlooking the crystal blue waters, is a wonderfully contemporary, luxury space to enjoy all that Spain has to offer. 

The home itself is modern yet quaint but the outside space is what holds the real appeal for us – this home was made for outdoor living. Whether you’re firing up the grill in your summer kitchen or indulging in a new book on your comfy sofas spanning the length of your private pool, all you need is a chilled glass of sangria in hand to feel right at home.  This stunning corner plot means you will have the Spanish sunshine with you all day. Sit back, close your eyes and feel the breeze brush over your skin as the scent of the sea hangs in the air. Absolute bliss.

Once you’ve enjoyed sundowners and some alfresco dining, it may be time to retire to the comfort of the indoors. The open-plan living and kitchen area is perfect for a family or group of friends wanting to enjoy some time together. Whether you’re relaxing in front of the fire and the flatscreen TV or putting on a pot of coffee first thing in the morning, this home is ideal for sociable groups wanting a memorable holiday. Neutral colours punctuated with natural wicker features make this home a calm haven after a day of exploring the Spanish outdoors.

Herb Garden

Some homes just have to be seen to be believed. You need to spend a morning lying in the sunshine with a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of trees, and the scent of almonds in the air to fully appreciate how beautiful and tranquil this hilltop haven is. 

Having been designed in authentic Andalusian style, the home boasts lots of different lounges and terraces – relaxation is at the heart of things here. It’s on a ten-acre estate up in the hills with views of the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, which can be devoured from almost every angle. As soon as you arrive, you’re greeted by a magnificent view of the peak of Maroma from the leafy courtyard. 

You might spend your days swimming in the pool and soaking up the sunshine in the gardens, which are filled with almond trees, olive groves, and a vineyard. Or perhaps you’ll sit under the shade of a pergola to read, accompanied only by the soothing sound of the fountain trickling in the courtyard. To take your relaxation to the next level, you might book an on-site massage – it’s almost impossible to leave here without feeling entirely blissed out. 

Evenings could be passed in the outdoor dining area, cooking together in the covered summer kitchen and grilling up local delicacies on the barbecue. As the sun starts to set, you’ll see the sky shift into glorious pastel hues, before the stars emerge and create a new backdrop altogether. 

This is a classic Spanish homestead in many ways, with its rustic-chic style and antiques. But the owners have also thought of everything their guests might need and elevated the home to meet those needs. Quite simply, you’ll never want to leave. 


Almond Tree Hill

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

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.

Drink in Summer

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

Nestled in the hills near the charming whitewashed town of Torrox, this beautiful villa is a vision of Meditteran romance with dazzling views to match. 

Gaze out at the blue of the sea and the rugged slopes surrounding it from your panoramic patio. This is where you’ll want to spend sun up till sun down, soaking up the rays from the loungers and plunge pool or enjoying some shaded reading from the comfort of the Balinese bed. Evenings call for alfresco barbecue meals to be enjoyed as the light fades over the horizon, while nothing says holiday bliss like ending the night with a starlit soak in the hot tub.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable open-plan living space that beckons cosy, cooler evenings around the fireplace, while the bed invites a restful night’s sleep leaving you feeling rested and ready for another day of luxuriously relaxing fun. 

When it comes to exploring nearby, head to nearby Torrox or El Morche – both about 4.5 kilometres away – or spend a day at the nearby beach, 4.8 kilometres from your door. You’re also under 20 kilometres from both Frigiliana and Nerja – the latter of which boasts the beautiful Balcón de Europa – while Málaga offers the perfect way to spend a day trip, 41 kilometres from your home.

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

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

Workplace

Set within stunning Southern Spanish countryside, this charming home offers so much more than mesmerising mountain views. A modern interior characterised by traditional touches makes for a comfortable living cum dining area complete with terracotta tiled floors, and a large fireside sofa, while the fully equipped kitchen allows for the preparation of tapas at any time. A glass enclosed lounge area allows you to soak up that Andalusian aura even on cooler days, but it is this home’s show stopping outdoor spaces that really seal the deal.  

Laze on sun loungers on the lawn or seek the shade of the palms and pines before cooling off with a dip in your private pool. Spend the afternoon grilling on the barbecue in the outdoor kitchen or trying your hand at making homemade pizzas in the outdoor oven before dining alfresco at the large dining table on the covered terrace.  As day turns to night take your drinks and gather on the curved white seating area to watch the sunset behind the awesome Almijara.

If you fancy venturing a little further afield, why not visit the Frigiliana, consistently voted one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Distinctively Moorish in appearance, Frigiliana is home to a 17th century Archaeological Museum, the Santa Fiora botanical gardens and as well as narrow, winding, cobblestone streets full of small shops, tapas bars and restaurants. Why not sample some local seafood –Pescaito frito and molletes or pick up some supplies for a family picnic post wild swim in the Higueron river.   


Tranquility Itself

Located in the seaside town of Torrox, surrounded by nine kilometres of impressive coastline and mountain landscape, this villa is brimming with Málaga charm. Nestled up high in the hills, this home boasts a decadent terrace that affords spectacular views over the town and the Mediterranean Sea. Waking up early is easy when you're stepping out to scenery like this. 

We highly recommend starting your days with breakfast under the pergola, then a refreshing dip in the private pool. Once you're feeling energised and ready to explore, jump in the car to make the short drive to one of the area's beautiful beaches. Peñoncillo is a popular choice as it's perfect for swimming thanks to milder waves. Wherever you end up, Torrox is the perfect place for beach hopping, due to having warm temperatures all year round. 

Once you've had your fill of sun, sea and sand, pick up some fresh ingredients and head home to fire up the barbecue. Tuck into an alfresco feast then grab a glass of wine and get comfy on one of the sun loungers, which are conveniently positioned facing the horizon, meaning you have uninterrupted views of the sun setting over the ocean each night.

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.

This finca’s crowning achievement might be the fabulous outdoor space – and the views on offer from it – but that doesn’t take away from the beautiful blend of rustic charm and more modern elements. 

Start your day on the balcony where you can enjoy a cup of coffee just after sunrise. Bask in the tranquillity as you admire ocean views flanked by rolling hills and the mountains of the Andalusian region. When you’ve found your peace, return inside to take on breakfast duties together. 

Spend days poolside or on the balcony where you can enjoy wine and nibbles before firing up the barbecue for a Mediterranean feast. Though the beach is a little farther to drive to, it’s worth the more rural location and it also places you in closer proximity to Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park where you can spot waterfalls and admire the sweeping views as you hike one of the many trails. 

Back home, enjoy the sunset with a drink in the hot tub, and stay outside, making yourself comfortable in any of the seating areas, to chat under the sparkling night sky.

Finca Solar

Set in the dramatic mountainous landscape of the Malaga countryside, this unique home has all the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday. Set on 6,500 square metres of land, the home comprises three separate houses built together in a small complex. Each of the houses has a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, so you can make your coffee and breakfast without fighting over countertop space. 

Long summer days can be spent in the garden, soaking up the panoramic views of the green hills and golden mountains. When it gets hot, cool off with a dip in the 15 metre pool. Come lunchtime, fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco meal together on the terrace. The villa is in a peaceful, remote location, and the nearest town is Rincón de la Victoria, 8.7 kilometres away, where there’s pharmacies and supermarkets, as well as restaurants and bars.

You could easily spend all your time relaxing at the villa and splashing around in the pool, but if you feel like an adventure, Malaga is 19 kilometres away and easily reachable by car. Wander around and admire the old colonial architecture and pretty squares, stopping in for a drink and a bite to eat at one of the family run tapas bars. Or spend the afternoon at one of Malaga’s beautiful sandy beaches, enjoying a paella at a seafront restaurant. After a day of sun, sea and sand, head home for cocktails on the terrace as the mountains turn pink.

Golden Vistas

The views alone make this Nerja home a great choice. There are several terraces and balconies, which makes admiring the sea and countryside views all the easier – and means that there’s plenty of space for a big group of friends. The decor inside isn’t the most interesting – it’s the outside space that really shines, with a private pool, barbecue and those glorious views. The multi-level layout won’t be suitable for everyone, and will definitely keep parents of youngsters on their toes. 

Sea, Sand & Sangria 

Hammock

Sitting at 550m above sea level, this stunning mountain refuge offers an enviable bird's-eye view over soaring landscapes and verdant valleys. The peaks of the Sierra Tejeda command the vista to the east while staring southwards will lead your eye all the way to the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. 

Your hosts first discovered this hidden gem back in 2015. Enchanted by the setting, they spent months tracking down the home's original owners, followed by a couple of years creating this idyllic Ibiza-inspired escape. Thanks to their background in interior design, the inside is gorgeous, with terracotta-tiled floors, eye-catching artwork and enchanting trinkets lining the shelves. While it would've been easy to copy and paste similar designs throughout all five bedrooms, they've gone the extra mile to provide each one with a unique personality.

Outside has been created to embrace the natural beauty on your doorstep – whether you're stretched out on sun loungers beside the pool, tucking into homemade pizzas fresh from the outdoor oven, or laid up in a hammock with a good book – it's impossible not to switch off and feel any stress ebb away on the Andalusian breeze.

Overlooking Torre del Mar and the jagged mountains of Costa del Sol, this bright and modern apartment is a great base for exploring. Just a ten-minute walk from the beach, you won't have to travel far to discover the sandy shores, delicious restaurants and lively tapas bars in this area. And with a communal pool and private terrace back at home, there are plenty of spots to soak up the endless sunshine. Speaking of home, we love how sleek and bright this apartment is. Rattan furniture, woven rugs and leafy plants add a bit of bohemian flair, but all the mod-cons are accounted for, too – from the rain shower in the master and a glossy kitchen stocked with crockery to Netflix on the flatscreen. The whole flat revolves around the gorgeous terrace and its panoramic views of the Sierra Tejeda (forty minutes by car if you're in the mood for a hike). In the evenings, sip Spanish vino as the sun goes down and feast under the stars at the alfresco dining area. Trust us — you won't find a better spot to watch the night roll in.

Beautiful Sol

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.

Get the pampering you deserve at this gorgeously modern penthouse apartment, offering views of the glittering Mediterranean sea. If you're thinking you'll have to make any big sacrifices to stay here, think again – wake up and draw the curtains to fantastic views, and head downstairs for a dip in one of two communal pools to start your day. Return and step out onto the balcony to rinse off in the outdoor shower, and whip up a home-cooked breakfast to be enjoyed alfresco.

Whether you're looking for days out on the beach or some retail therapy, you're in the right place.
