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.

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

Surrounded by olive and almond trees with the sea breeze dancing through the air, this is the kind of home that transports you to the heart of Mediterranean living. 

Set within the rugged landscape of the Sierras de Tejeda and Almijara, you’ll find a traditional Spanish home brimming with character. From the honey-coloured interior to the wooden beams, stone arches and rustic styling, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. 

Outside, the porch opens up to mesmerising views across the horizon. Featuring a private swimming pool and barbecue area, this is the perfect setting for rejuvenating dips and long lazy lunches in the shade. 

From here it's just a short atmospheric drive into the whitewashed town of Cómpeta, while the shimmering coastline of the Costa del Sol is also within easy reach. When you aren’t exploring the beaches and coves on the coast, you’ll find ample opportunities for hiking, horse riding, cycling and golfing. 

Mountain Spirit 

Bathtub

Those looking for a remote retreat need look no further than this rustic mountain home, situated inland from the bustling shores of the Costa del Sol. Spread over a single level, the home flows from room to room with elegant archways separating the spaces. With exposed stone walls, terracotta floor tiles and elegant wooden furniture, your hosts have designed a welcoming space that's in keeping with its spectacular rural surroundings. 

The grounds are the real highlight and have been designed to make the most of the enviable Mediterranean climate and breathtaking views. A spacious terrace comes equipped with a private pool surrounded by sun loungers and there are a couple of shaded seating areas on hand to shelter you from the glare of the midday sun. Finally, there's a built-in brick oven for cooking your food over fire.

Given the location, you're looking at a minimum of a forty-minute drive to reach the authentic Andalusian town of Vélez-Málaga, or the charming former fishing village of Nerja. So we say stock up on essentials, embrace the solitude and enjoy a week or two to completely disconnect – you'd be surprised how exhausting doing nothing can be.


Casa Rural

Dryer

Immersed in a sanctuary of pine trees and century-old oaks, this whitewashed home opens its doors to the quiet beauty of the Andalusian countryside. 

Sitting on the edge of the Sierras Tejeda y Almijara natural park, every detail of this home reflects and celebrates the richness of its location. From the calming simplicity of the interior to the rustic charm of the garden, this is the kind of setting that inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the mesmerising views across the rugged mountains. 

Strolling down through the trees you’ll find the swimming pool waiting to transport you to the height of relaxation, while the outdoor dining area welcomes you to sample local delicacies as the sunsets across the horizon.   

From hiking through the surrounding countryside to tennis and horse riding, there are endless ways to explore this beautiful region. And for those seeking the refreshing spirit of the sea, you’ll find the nearest beach is less than a thirty-minute drive away. 

The Sky Blossom 

Country getaway or beach break? This Andalusian villa is so kind as to give you the benefits of both. Not only does it sit in a secluded location surrounded by verdant hillsides, but the golden sands of Torrox beach are only just over a quarter of an hour away by car.

That being said, you might not even want to head over to the seaside when you take into consideration the incredible outdoor space at your disposal at the address. Scorching hot afternoons can be spent jumping in and out of the home's swimming pool, which looks out to peaceful views of the locale. Add into the mix plenty of loungers, a Balinese bed and a verandah in case you're in need of a little shade, and it's like you have your very own beach club to yourselves.

Although it's very much an address that prioritises the alfresco way of life, the interior won't disappoint when you finally head indoors for the night.  The design manages to combine rustic elements typical of the region, like exposed stonework and terracotta tiling underfoot, with more contemporary finishes in the stylish living room and kitchen.

Aside from the aforementioned stretch of coastline, there are plenty of distractions that lie nearby. The Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park starts ten minutes' drive from the home and contains a wealth of walking routes and scenic points. You can also get to the city of Malaga in around forty-five minutes, which is ideal for a day trip spent hopping around galleries, shops and cafes.



Goddess of the Sun

With expansive views across the majestic landscape of Andalucía,  this whitewashed home welcomes you to the timeless beauty of southern Spain. 

Sitting just outside of Cómpeta and only a short drive from the beach, the owners have designed this villa to feel like an immersive sanctuary. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour its captivating presence. From the sweeping terrace to the rustic charm of the interior, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of ease and relaxation. 

Bathed in natural light, the sun-dappled rooms provide a cosy space to share quality time together. And whether you’re preparing a light bite in the kitchen or staying cool in the air-conditioned bedrooms, the laid-back ambience of this home is refreshing.

Follow the sea breeze outside and you’ll find the terrace sets the tone for an unforgettable stay. From quiet mornings watching the sunrise to rejuvenating swims and sharing tapas under the stars, this is the kind of home that transports you to a wonderful sense of bliss. The outdoor kitchen is also a highlight for anyone who wishes to cook whilst immersed in the natural elements. 
 
For explorations beyond this heavenly place, you’ll find the beaches of Nerja and Torrox are less than a twenty-minute drive away. And if you’re looking for a little more action, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, sightseeing and golfing. 

Casa Magia

Hangers

Free Parking

Herb Garden

Umbrellas

It's easy peasy lemon squeezy to sit back and relax in this Mediterranean paradise. And with panoramic views stretching over the valley and out to sea, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing your spot on the porch or out by the private swimming pool in the secluded garden. 

Breathe in the fresh aromatics of the home's vegetable garden, growing seasonal fares, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, fava beans, garlic, onions, sugar canes, and tropical products, such as avocadoes, mangoes, pitayas, lychees. The host welcomes you to pick the produce when it's ripe to use when cooking up your own culinary delights in the kitchen or on the barbecue grill. You'll also find fresh eggs at the henhouse that you can select for free – meaning there should always be something available for breakfast in the morning. 

The home's interior offers just as much Mediterranean charm as original features, and traditional Andalusian styles inject character into the otherwise minimal modern designs. While we think hanging out, sunbathing and making a splash in the pool present enough to keep you feeling refreshed and revitalised, you'll also be located just 3 kilometres away from the nearest beach and within easy reach of the local town of Torrox. 


Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy 

Jacuzzi

Bright and modern, this beautiful casita is ideally located for anyone wanting to explore the Costa del Sol. From your vantage point on the terrace of this home, you’ll get a good glimpse of the shimmering Mediterranean Sea and if you wish to get closer, you only need to drive to Torrox Beach for the first taste of the beautiful sandy beaches dotted along the coast.  

Now, the leaving might be difficult given how gorgeous this little home is. With doors opening from the bedroom, as well as the lounge, onto the terrace, you’ll feel that constant connection to the outdoors – and given the mild, spring temperature of Torrox all year round, you’ll have every excuse to spend all of your time out there. 

Couples can bond over alfresco breakfasts, curl up on the couch to watch a romantic movie or spend evenings stargazing from the hot tub, whilst those on a solo trip might take advantage of the peace and quiet to catch up on their reading. Sit out in the sun or stretch out on the sofa with the doors thrown open. Admire the views from the infinity pool or jacuzzi, and nap on the Balinese bed after an indulgent lunch. 

Light the barbecue as the sun begins to set and grill up a Mediterranean feast. If you’re not in the mood to cook, however, head to Torrox for a bite to eat – all the better if you find a restaurant right on the waterfront.

The Dreamer's Casita

Cafetiere

Tennis Court

Courtyard

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. 

Mi Arma

Typically Andalusian with whitewashed stone and red roof tiles, this home in Torrox is pretty as a picture. Although it can’t quite compare to the breathtaking vistas of the rolling hills of Málaga, and the Mediterranean beyond, you can get the best of both views by sitting out on the terrace. Covered, the patio also offers a welcome break from the sun whilst still enjoying the mild heat the region is known for. If you’re up for a swim, duck out through the arch and make a splash into the pool whilst the food is grilling away on the barbecue. 

Rustic and homely inside, you might retreat to one of the bedrooms for a nap after enjoying a Mediterranean feast. Wake up to the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee and enjoy it in the shade of the umbrella out by the patio furniture.

Days away can be spent at any of the two closest beaches – both are only a short drive away – or take a road trip and explore more of Costa del Sol and Málaga. Golfing enthusiasts can also head to the nearest course and anyone wanting to get up close and personal with the native foliage might check out the many hiking trails around the area.

You’ll feel on top of the world at this cosy home on the outskirts of Cómpeta, a mountain town situated seven hundred metres above sea level. Boasting incredible views of the Andalusian mountains and the dazzling Mediterranean Sea, this is the perfect place to come home to after a day of hiking, offering a wealth of home comforts that’ll make you feel at ease the second you step over the threshold. 

Inside, beamed ceilings and a traditional fireplace give this home a rustic feel, while the shaded porch and private pool at the back of the house make you feel as though you’ve been transported to your very own holiday resort. Kick back and relax with an evening aperitivo in the open air or stretch out on the living room sofa and lose yourself in a paperback from the bookshelf. Then when it’s time to eat, come together at the dining table for a tapas feast prepared in your fully stocked kitchen. Delish. 

You’re not exactly at the heart of the action here, but there’s still plenty to keep you busy if you fancy a change of scenery. Go for a wander through the stunning Andalusian countryside, soak up Cómpeta's traditional architecture, or make a beeline for the coast to watch the sun go down over the Med. 

Noche del Vino

If you're seeking a rural getaway to southern Spain then you can't go wrong with this traditional finca, surrounded by the Sierras de Almijara and Tejeda Mountains. And the sands of Playa del Torrox within driving distance, there’s everything you could need for a spectacular reset. 

You'll be transported in time here – this bucolic home has a host of original features, including rustic furnishings and objects, traditional round windows with a statement wheel window, as well as grand, high ceilings complete with wooden beams – it’s truly enchanting. You’re gifted with the Costa del Sol weather here however, if the weather happens to take a turn, you can cosy up in the living room by the crackling fire with a glass of Rioja. On sunny days, you'll want to make use of the outside space, which boasts impressive views of the herbaceous hills and the Mediterranean Sea. Plunge into the sparkling pool, then dry off on a lounger as you soak up the rays. When the golden hour strikes, you can enjoy a grilled Andalusian feast alfresco with a cold glass of sangria in hand. 

There are plenty of charming villages to visit, including Frigiliana, with its mosaiced streets and 16th-century buildings. Adventurous types can hit the hiking trails to explore the magnificent scenery – the nearby Alhama Natural Park is breathtaking. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive to the bustling coastal city of Malaga in roughly an hour for a day at the beach.

Hillside Finca

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. 


Bali Sol

This charming home is perfect for a family getaway to the beautiful destination of Spain. Wooden furniture is sprinkled throughout, with wooden beams adorning the ceiling and walls. The blend of traditional style furniture and modern decor is the perfect combination for a cosy contemporary stay. The large windows in the living spaces provide an ample amount of daylight that allows you to snuggle up on the sofa as you read a book, accompanied by a delicious glass of red. Watch TV with your loved ones as the pool water twinkles through the window, offering you a wonderful sneak peek of the surrounding scenery. 

Cook up a homemade meal inspired by the local cuisine in the kitchen – you get the best of both worlds here, with a wooden dining table indoors and an al fresco experience on the terrace under the canopy. Put your feet up on the terrace bed as you pop open a bottle of bubbly, paired with a magazine and the picturesque view of the encompassing landscape. Spend evenings relaxing in the pool with a refreshing dip or simply sit on a sun lounger to watch the sunset as the amber glow of the sunset reflects off of the water.

Head out to visit the coastline with Playa de la Mezquitilla only a drive away. Here you can bathe in the sun, take a dip in the ocean, and enjoy delicious food at the beachside eateries such as BaoBaB Beach House and Arroceria Varadero. Baviera Golf is also a drive away where you can spend the day challenging your loved ones whilst enjoying the delightful weather.

The Cream Canopy

Tucked away in a striking landscape of the Sierras de Tejeda, you’ll find this lovely rustic villa. It’s a traditional Spanish home built from stone, whose exterior is decorated with vines and flowers. Inside, you’ll find natural wood beams, tiled floors, and a warm and cosy ambience. It’s perfect for quiet escapes to the countryside, where you can rest, relax and make memories. 

The villa can be found in Competa in Andalucia, and boasts views of the mountains of Azarquia. From the terrace, there’s a partial sea view – the views here really are spectacular. Vineyards, olive groves and almond trees surround the home and add to the pretty scenery, making it feel deliciously secluded. 

You’ll spend most of your time outside, drinking in the views as you soak up the Spanish sun. Slip into the private swimming pool to splash about with the little ones, or to float in the cool water. The barbecue makes alfresco dining even more appealing – is there anything better than ending a day in the sun with a feast under the stars? 


Sierra Siesta

DVD Player

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

Fenced Pool

Blessed with a peaceful position in the Andalusian countryside, this rustic home is nearly two centuries old and if anything, it's getting more charming as the years go on.

The main reason for this is the way that the hosts find a balance between retaining period features with adding more contemporary amenities. Behind the home's whitewashed walls, you'll see wooden ceiling beams and a traditional fireplace, but also a modern kitchen and equally glossy bathrooms.

Given the local climate, you will probably want to spend as many waking hours in the open air as possible and there are plenty of ways to do just that across the ten-hectare site. Not only is the swimming pool especially cooling on hot afternoons, but it also looks out over sweeping views of local hillsides. If you're ever in need of a little shade, there's lots of space to sit and relax beneath the leafy pergola, too.

The address sure does feel secluded and the nearest village – Cómpeta – is just over two kilometres away, offering a small selection of shops and restaurants. A little further afield, the coastline lies about 20 kilometres away and there's a great selection of beaches from which to pick.

A Sense of Serenity

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

Although this villa is only ten minutes' drive from the Malagan coastline, the green hillsides that surround the address and the sense of seclusion make it feel a lot further inland. 

As such, it's remarkably easy to relax here, especially in the outdoor area complete with a swimming pool and a Balinese bed that overlooks the glistening water. As well as that, there's also a large stone barbecue and a table on the verandah, both ready and waiting for long summer evening dinners.

Although the Andalusian climate means that you'll inevitably try and spend as much time outside as possible, the home's interior is sure to impress when you finally get around to heading inside. There's definitely a traditional feel to the design, with terracotta tiles underfoot, wooden finishes and whitewashed walls. The double-aspect glass doors in the living space are also particularly generous when it comes to natural light, too.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, there's a great choice of small towns and villages that lie a short drive away from the home, including Algarrobo ten minutes' drive away. There are larger cities within easy reach too, such as Malaga itself only forty minutes away by car.


Beautiful World

Perched in the Torrox hills, in the heart of the Costa Del Sol countryside, this rural villa is an idyllic setting for a country retreat with friends or family. Inside, home comforts are balanced with traditional design features, resulting in cosy living spaces that are a delight to unwind in – we love the original beams and picture frame windows in the living room that flood the open space with Mediterranean light. Make a beeline for the dynamic kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need to rustle up an Andalusian tapas feast for you and your cohort. 

We have to say the outside space captured our hearts here. Boasting a pristine pool and breathtaking views over the olive-grove-studded landscape and across the Sierra de Almijara mountains, this is the perfect place to while away balmy summer afternoons. Sprawl out on one of the poolside sun loungers and settle in for a day of sun-soaking and pool-dipping. Chances are it’ll still be warm when night falls, so why not soak up the balmy atmosphere and enjoy a grilled barbecue dinner alfresco? As the moon illuminates the majestic mountains, settle in for some stargazing with a glass of Rioja.

The Mountain is Calling

Fenced Garden

Nestled in the gently undulating hills of the Andalusian hinterland, this home offers you a relaxing retreat that feels a million miles away from the usual hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.

The interior of this home is simple, understated, and homely, providing you with a cosy and comfortable starting point for your Andalusian adventure. Step outside, however, and the home really comes into its own, calling out to you to plunge into the inviting waters of the swimming pool, or prepare a feast of regional specialities on the covered barbecue to be enjoyed in one of the alfresco dining areas overlooking the picturesque valley below.

Perhaps the best time to really appreciate the majesty of the location is at sunset. Make your way out to the stunning terrace as the sun begins to dip below the horizon and admire the panoramic vista of this majestic landscape, watching as the cresting peaks of the mountains become dappled with warm evening light. The best accompaniment to the view? We think it has to be a glass of Sangria.

Of course, one of the benefits of this rural location is the chance it offers you to explore the area on foot or bicycle, and the range of hiking and biking trails that snake over the landscape ensure you can truly appreciate its beauty. The nearest beach is 18.3 kilometres away, and don't miss out on the chance to meander around the traditional whitewashed villages around Cómpeta either, discovering scenic squares housing authentic local eateries and bars serving beers alongside tapas.

Complete Cómpeta

Nestled in the peaceful Axarquia countryside in the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda mountain ranges, this charming villa is surrounded by herbaceous hills. To stay here is to adopt the Andalusian mentality in a truly relaxing and therapeutic way. 

This home offers authentic rural features and contemporary comforts –  terracotta floors, original tiles and picture-frame windows that let you invite the soft breeze in alongside plush furnishings and ambient light fixtures. Make the most of your mornings with a few strokes in the crystalline pool before a juice refreshment under the shade of the pergola. Prepare a fresh breakfast spread in your dynamic kitchen, then gather together in the outdoor dining space. Your day can take multiple routes – whether it’s spent stretching out on the loungers overlooking the parking Mediterranean with your long-awaited summer read or enjoying a glass of sangria soundtracked by local bird song.

Put on your walking boots and head out to explore the hiking trails, making sure to stop off at Puerto de la Graja, an observation deck with breathtaking views. Or, head into Torrox and dine away in one of the town’s tavernas overlooking the lighthouse.

Blue Mountain

There's a long list of things to love about this wonderful villa. Located in the Andalusian hills, a little outside the town of Competa, it's the perfect place to press pause and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. 

Step inside, and you'll find a welcoming living space that's full of rustic charm. From the terracotta tiles and the antique furniture to the wooden ceiling beams, there are plenty of traditional details to make you feel right at home. Outside, there are stunning panoramic views to admire as you soak up the sun on a lounger. When the mercury rises you can cool off in the swimming pool, and there's even a basketball court so you can practice your passes. Then, when hunger strikes, fire up the grill in the summer kitchen for a delicious alfresco feast on the patio. 

Adventurous guests can hop on a bike or lace up their hiking boots and explore the rugged mountain landscapes – there are plenty of trails to choose from close by. Spend an afternoon wandering the winding streets of Competa, admiring the white-washed buildings that are typical of the area. And, if you fancy a day by the sea, take a drive down to one of the Costa Del Sol's famous beaches – you can arrive at the coast in around thirty-five minutes. 

Fabulous Finca

This holiday house in Canillas de Albaida is perfect for large families or groups of friends. The terrace is where you’ll spend most of your time, whether that’s cooking up a storm on the barbecue or cooling off in the private pool. Should you fancy some alone time, most of the bedrooms have balcony access. If you intend to explore during your stay, we’d recommend hiring a car. Peñoncillo Beach is around a forty-minute drive away, while the charming town of Cómpeta is reached in less than ten. 

A Heart Full of Sunshine

This charming villa is in perfect harmony with its surroundings – situated high in the Torrox hills, this characterful house sits amongst organic orchards and vineyards. Situated down a private rural track, you’ll experience unrivalled privacy in this impressive home adorned with stone mosaic and vibrant yellow pillars. 

Inside, there’s plenty of space for you and your guests – with traditional beamed ceilings and a flowing open-plan layout – this rustic home is equally adept for both socialising and private moments. Wake up to the sprawling sea vistas from your balcony, where you can enjoy your morning coffee. Wander across the Cotto tiles to the rustic living space where you can enjoy a couple of board games or turn pages of your holiday read. Open up the doors and head out onto the patio where a shaded dining room awaits – we think you’ll love grilling up an array of ingredients for an alfresco tapas feast. Stretch out by the shimmering plunge pool – the ideal way to unwind any time of day or night, a glass of sangria in hand. 

Just a short drive away from the sands of Torrox, you'll be able to make the most of the pristine beaches and quaint seaside tavernas. When it's time to explore the great outdoors, make the drive to Nerja, where you will find spectacular hiking trails and birdwatching tracks up in the Sierra de Almijara mountains.

Mosaic of Stone

Sometimes homes have that wow factor – the feeling of knowing you're somewhere special that you won't forget in a hurry. This is one of those homes. Situated high up in the breathtaking landscape of Sierras de Tejeda and Almijara, this home sits proudly at its own vantage point. You could be lounging next to the swimming pool with a glass of freshly-made sangria or serving up a bowl of paella on the terrace while dining alfresco until late, either way, you'll be treated to phenomenal views of blue sky touching blue sea. Waking up early to see the golden haze of the sky contrasting the rocky mountain peaks surrounding the home is a real sight to behold. 

The inside of the home is as traditional as it comes. We love the ceiling beams and dark wood furniture giving this home an authentic Meditteranean feel. While your days will likely be spent outside in the sun, your evenings will be just as enjoyable gathering around the fireplace in the lounge. Despite being located high up the mountains, this home is still well connected to life around. The nearest village, Cómpeta, is 4.2km away and has all the essential supplies you need, along with opportunities for meals out. We're sure you'll probably be rushing back to this special home afterwards though.

Gazing at Blue Horizons

Set on a 5000 square footage plot of land atop a hilltop, this home is the perfect solution if you’re looking for a slice of seclusion without compromising on location entirely. Still within easy access to the coast and the gorgeous, golden beaches of the Costa del Sol, you can opt for a day at the beach, explore the region, or head to the golf course – at the end of a thirty minute trip – to unwind with a round of golf. 

Of course, if you’d like to stay right here, we certainly won’t be judging – especially not with the spectacular views from the terrace. Secure your spot on one of the sunloungers and camp out here all day with a book, glass of wine, and snacks.

Make use of the stone barbecue as you grill a lunch to enjoy at the vibrant blue dining table. After an alfresco meal and quick nap, make sure you watch sunset from the terrace and spend relaxed evenings playing board games in front of the fire in the living space.  

House on a Hill

Cooking Essentials

Single-Level Home

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.

At Home on the Horizon 

Perched in the mountains of Torrox, overlooking the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda mountain ranges, this villa offers impressive sights. Surrounded by fruit trees and vineyards, this villa has rustic charm aplenty.

Inside, authentic features are combined with Southeast Asian influences – think Cotto tiles, ornate furnishings and Balinese designs. The open-plan living space is the perfect spot to socialise, though we expect you’ll spend most of your time here dining and unwinding outside with the view. Enjoy quiet moments with coffee from the patio before enjoying a leisurely breakfast spread of fresh fruit from the garden. The sparkling pool will beckon you to the terrace, where you can stretch out with your holiday read and share sundowners as the evening unfolds. Come nightfall, you’ll want to gather around the stunning outdoor dining table for a barbecued feast under the stars.

There are plenty of charming villages to visit along the Costa del Sol coastline, all within driving distance. Adventurous types can hit the hiking trails to explore the magnificent scenery – the nearby Poza de Los Patos trail is simply awe-inspiring. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive to the vibrant coastal city of Málaga in around an hour.

Mountain Eclipse

Nestled in the hills of Cómpeta, this traditional finca sits like a gateway to the beauty of Andalusia. And with uninterrupted mountain views from the private pool, you’ll find yourself transported to the height of relaxation. 

Set across one floor, the owners have styled this home to reflect the earthy tones and textures of the environment. From the calming colour palette to the gentle light and ambience, this is the perfect setting to unwind and savour life’s simple pleasures. 

Follow the views outside and you’ll find the idyllic terrace and swimming pool open up to the majestic beauty of the landscape. And whether you’re sipping your morning coffee in the shade, enjoying a dreamy sunset dip or sharing tapas under the stars, this is the kind of place that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired.  

Days can be spent basking in the privileged position of this home or exploring the shimmering coastline. You’ll find the beaches of Nerja and Torrox are less than a forty-minute drive away.

La Gaia 

Lift Access

Access to Beach

Fancy Mediterranean sea views from a private roof terrace, perfect for outdoor hangouts? This family-friendly apartment sits on a complex with a communal pool for summer stays, so expect a little noise around the shared facilities. We love that Las Dunas Beach is just 100 metres away, where restaurants line the promenade. There's also a free parking spot on-site, so how about planning a road trip along the Costa del Sol? Alternatively, your host can help arrange fun boat charters.

A Moment to Remember

Sauna

Self Check-in / Check-out

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

Secured Parking

Perfectly positioned among the rolling hills of Torrox, this show–stopping villa invites you to experience the Costa del Sol like a royal. With its impressive white–washed facade, red brick pillars and ochre–coloured details, from the moment you lay eyes on the place, you'll fall instantly in love with its charm. This place could easily play home to a Spanish movie star, but for now, it's all yours.

We can't get enough of its handome looks, and as we saunter our way through the home itself, we only become more enamoured. Illuminated by a warm colour card of shades, each and every room feels super cosy and welcoming. The natural wooden touches peppered from here to there add to that feeling of warmth, while the fusion of contemporary and traditional creates a unique look and feel. We're particularly fond of the open–plan living/dining area. With an aged fire at its centre, here you'll also find a comfy sofa to sink into, a flat–screen TV and large dining table, ready and waiting to host a series of Spanish feasts.

This home is awash with charming details, but if you ask us, the biggest jewel in the crown has got to be the pool. Utterly immaculate and blanketed by the scorching Spanish sun, here you can enjoy an instant cool off when temperatures soar.
Your plush new pad ticks every box and more, giving you more than enough reasons to stay put, but if you do feel like venturing out, why not head to Torrox's sandy seafront? Calaceite Beach is a beautiful spot and within easy reach of the villa.

Blue of the Pool

Bathe in natural daylight no matter where you are within this beautiful home, with large windows in the living space providing a glow to every corner. Wooden beams adorn the ceilings as well as a charming stone arch feature. Snuggle up together with your loved ones on the sofa as you watch a movie, accompanied by the glow of the fireplace. The combination of traditional style and modern appliances creates a wonderful harmony that will surely make you feel at home. 

Cook up a homemade meal in the kitchen that can be enjoyed indoors or alfresco at the outdoor dining table. The terrace also offers the opportunity for a tasty home-cooked pizza in the outdoor pizza oven – tuck in as you admire the view of the surrounding landscape. Evenings can be spent by the pool as you take a refreshing dip whilst watching the sunset. Relax in the outdoor seating area as you enjoy a sumptuous bottle of wine together as you recall past memories, and make exciting plans for the rest of your vacation.

Head out to bathe in the sun at Torrox Beach where you can get the sand in between your toes, followed by a refreshing dip in the ocean. Torrox is a charming municipality with many streets to wander through as you discover local hidden gems, delicious eateries, and cosy cafes that serve up toasty cups of coffee.

The Scenic Side of Life

Hidden away in Andalusia's mountainous interior, this villa is blessed with some incredible views of Spanish hillsides and the uninterrupted skyline. As you might hope, there are plenty of spots from which you can drink in this beautiful panorama, including a swimming pool and a sunken hot tub positioned right at the edge of the glass-walled terrace.

As if that wasn't enough, the dining table on the verandah is sure to be the scene for merry dinners that stretch long into the night – perhaps with dishes served straight off the barbecue. There's even a ping pong table just in case you brought your competitive side with you.

Probably quite sensibly, the home's interior doesn't attempt to better the stunning natural surroundings and lies on the minimalist side. That being said, it's plain to see that care and attention have gone into the design, particularly the sleek kitchen and the cosy fireplace that sits in the corner of the living room.

The local town of Árchez is only three minutes away in the car and offers a handful of restaurants and the start of a hiking trail. If it's outdoor excursions you're after, the vast Sierras de Tejeda National Park starts just five minutes' drive away and will please hikers and climbers with the wealth of routes and scenic points. On the other end of the scale, the golden sands of Playa de la Caleta de Vélez are a thirty-five-minute drive away.

Ruggedly Handsome

High up in the Axarquian countryside, tucked into the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda mountain ranges, this charming villa is a vision of yellow. This vibrant oasis offers plenty of space for relaxation and a sprawling backdrop of the herbaceous valley.

As soon as you arrive you’ll be met with a marigold façade, but step inside and you’ll find a palette of crisp white and hints of its sunny exterior. The open-plan living space is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the natural elements – sliding glass doors allow you to admire the expansive views from your plush sofa. You’ll love opening the doors each morning as the sun rises and savouring the quiet beauty of this setting with a coffee on the terrace. Days can be spent floating in your pool, stretched out on the loungers with your holiday read or grilling up some padron peppers on the barbecue – the outdoor dining room is our favourite spot from which to enjoy the panoramas. As the stars descend, pour a glass of Macabeo and soak up the balmy evening heat with your loved ones.

Just a short drive away, you'll be able to make the most of the pristine beaches and quaint seaside tavernas of Torrox. When it's time to explore the great outdoors, make the drive to Nerja, where you will find spectacular hiking trails and birdwatching tracks up in the Sierra de Almijara mountains.

Sol y Soul

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.
