This villa may be nestled in the foothills of the Malaga mountains, but it's undoubtedly got more in common with the city's glamorous beach aesthetic. Spend the day sunbathing on the chic terraces (you may get one all to yourself), in between dips in the saltwater pool, while younger guests keep themselves entertained in the snug games room. Though the basement bedrooms may lack natural light, on the higher floors, French doors frame those stunning pine views. At the right angle, you might even catch a glimpse of the Malaga skyline and the sea – it's just a twenty-minute drive to the historic city centre, and even less to the nearest beaches in Este.
