Built directly into the coastal cliffs of La Herradura, this circular villa sits within a protected natural park – 11 km of near-pristine coastline where ibex roam and the Mediterranean stretches out beyond the curved living room windows. What makes it rare is the direct access to Cantarrijan beach, an unspoiled cove with two restaurants and deckchairs on the sand. For quieter evenings, there's a library and sound system to keep you occupied. Boat rental is available at a nearby port, and both Málaga and Granada airports are around an hour away.

Home truths
While this home sleeps up to eight guests, it’s more comfortable for six adults and a maximum of two children, as the single bedrooms are best suited to younger guests.
You're located within a protected natural park, well away from the nearest village shops – expect a fifteen-minute drive for groceries and essentials, so it's worth stocking up before you settle in.
Cantarrijan beach has a designated naturist area, separated from the main stretch – worth knowing before you arrive so the whole group knows what to expect.
