Nice to haves

This rustic Southern Spanish home in Alhaurín de la Torre is both a relaxing retreat from the tempo of the town and the perfect place from which to explore the Guadalhorce valley. Boasting simple yet stylish interiors, a comfortable light filled living room complete with woodburning stove, fully equipped kitchen cum dining room and terracotta tiled floors throughout, not to mention a sunbathing terrace and private outdoor pool, this home is sure to delight.  

After breakfast why not peruse the bookshelves and take your chosen volume out onto the terrace, laze on loungers in the sun before cooling off with a refreshing dip in the pool. Spend the afternoon preparing a family sized paella, while the kids play at cooking in the pint-sized pantry cum games area, and dine alfresco at the covered dining table on the terrace.  Come evening you’ll want to cosy up with a glass of wine on the sofa for movie night. 

Alternatively, make the most of your home’s central location and all that the whitewashed town of Alhaurín de la Torre has to offer by way of ancient architecture, gardens, parks, restaurants and bars. Why not follow up a visit to San Sebastian Church and the ‘Japanese Garden’ with some fresh fish or roast lamb at a local eatery before sampling a little of the town’s endearingly Andalusian nightlife – late to start, late to finish, friendly and inexpensive.  


Turquoise & Terracotta

If it’s fun in the sun that you’re after, there are few places that could offer you more than this stunning traditional Spanish villa on the Costa del Sol. Set in the quaint town of Alhaurin de la Torre, just outside of the city of Malaga, this countryside plot makes the perfect sojourn for a family or group of friends looking to maximise their time outside.

The villa itself features an array of elegant touches that offer both a sense of grandeur and warmth, whether you’re waking beneath the bedroom’s exposed timber beams, relaxing on the living room sofa before the intricately carved stone fireplace, or enjoying a cup of coffee in the courtyard with its central sculpture.

Moving outside you’ll find the extensive garden with its patios, terraces, and pools (yes, there are three!) provides a sudden burst of energy. Here, you can play a game of ping pong, grill on the wood fire barbecue, swim a few laps in the main pool or enjoy some time splashing around with the little ones in the children’s pool.

We’re sure you’ll quickly discover that this well and truly is a home with something for everyone.

Casa Ángela

Jacuzzi

Hot Tub

Underfloor Heating

Beach / Pool Towels

Hammock

Outdoor Kitchen

Given everything this home has to offer, it’s hardly surprising that it ended up in the pages of Marie Claire back in 2019. You’ve got all the amenities you could wish for here, from a poolside bar to an outdoor Jacuzzi – not to mention, an open-plan living area complete with cosy fireplace for keeping warm when temperatures start to drop. Kick back and relax in the orange-hued interior or head outside for a spot of alfresco dining by the pool. Glass of sangria, anyone? 

We could easily spend all day here but if you fancy a change of pace, there’s plenty to keep you occupied nearby. Practise your swing at Lauro Golf Resort, stretch your legs with a ramble along one of the Sierra de Mijas hiking trails, or jump in the car and head into Malaga for a spot of sightseeing. 

Casa Carmesí

This remarkable home dates back to the late 19th century but a quick tour will quickly show you that there have been a number of changes made in the ensuing years. For starters, the large swimming pool is a relatively recent addition – and a welcome one, at that – as is the huge Jacuzzi in its own separate annexe. There's a contemporary sleekness to the kitchen and bathrooms in the main house, as well.

That being said, a certain sense of heritage has been expertly retained during the recent refurbishment and there's an undeniable character in the exposed stonework, wooden ceiling beams and the elegant staircase that takes you up to the bedrooms. The tall verandah complete with a barbecue, alfresco dining table and views of the Andalusian countryside through the archways is an impressive feature, too.

Although the surrounding area feels peaceful, there are a pair of towns –Alhaurin el Grande and Alhaurin de la Torre – that both lie about 5km from the home. Torremolinos's sandy beach is a 15km-journey, while there are plenty of golf courses and prime hiking terrain to be discovered nearby.

Farmyard Phantasia

Throws

Located near Alhaurín de la Torre, within easy reach of the beach and enjoying distant mountain views from your outdoor space, this villa welcomes you in to embrace the Spanish lifestyle.

Relax the afternoon away in your hammock with a sangria in hand, the sun overhead and a good book just waiting to be enjoyed. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic getaway for two, or a few days away with the family, this Spanish home has everything you will need for a relaxing break. Your private pool surrounded by manicured gardens is the centrepiece of the outdoor area, the ideal spot to spend the evening chatting with loved ones and enjoying fine food and drink whilst the sun sets. 

Much like the stunning outdoor setting, the home itself is bright with a contemporary feel. White fluffy towels and scented candles make this a sanctuary-like home-away-from-home. The living area is calming and neutral, with a comfortable sofa and a beautiful classic fireplace. 

There is plenty to see and do in the province of charming Malaga. You will have no trouble filling your days with a beautiful coastline – the nearest beach is 7.6 kilometres away – and a quaint town bursting with restaurants and countless ice cream parlours. When your exploring is over for the day, head back to your villa, settle yourself back into your hammock and watch the sun sink below the mountains. It’s a blissful way to end the day. 


Hammock Hideaway

Sitting just 200 metres from Torremolinos’ mile-long beach, this fuss-free apartment offers plenty in the way of relaxation. The private balcony is ideal for enjoying alfresco meals while savouring the balmy air, while the communal swimming pool is where you’ll want to spend your days working on your tan. At capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed in the living area and there’s a chance you’ll hear some noise from your neighbours throughout your stay. But for those hoping to soak up the Malagan sun on the beach and by an inviting pool, this practical pad is a winner. 


El Sol Blanco

Vacuum Cleaner

This apartment combines a desirable location with fabulous perks to bring you a relaxing stay in southern Spain. The real standout is the private terrace, complete with sun loungers, garden chairs, and a dining area. It's ideal for group breakfasts come morning – or perhaps you'll wait until later on for a grilled supper at home. On top of that, you'll also have access to the on-site pool, gym, and sauna, shared with the other residents. You will need a car to get around, but there is private parking, plus it's just a short drive to the nearest beaches and golf courses. 

Boca de Amor

Fenced Garden

If you’re looking for a home that’s designed for a couple or small group, but that still features all the luxuries you’d expect from a huge villa, then you’ll love this stunning cottage. This home is set in a quiet area just outside Alhaurín and is also just a short drive to the vibrant resort town of Málaga, so you can enjoy both the peaceful and playful parts of this stunning area of Spain. The home itself is oozing with Spanish style, with funky artwork and trendy furniture, and it benefits from some opulent touches such as the freestanding bath, the rainfall shower and of course, the stunning private outdoor pool.

Wake up on sunshine-filled mornings and head straight out onto your pool deck to read a book in the poolside hammock. When the heat rises, dive into your private pool to cool off, and swim some lengths to get the blood pumping – we reckon it’s the best way to start your day. Come inside and cook up some huevos rotos to eat around your alfresco dining set. Head out to explore the fun restaurants, bars and cafes of Málaga, or head to the beach for sea swimming and sunbathing. Return to your lush holiday home and pop open a bottle of Cava to enjoy while you lounge by the pool. As the evening sets in, pour a bubble bath and have a good long soak, or head back out to find out what the area’s nightlife has to offer.

Poolside Peace

Heated Pool

Just 100 metres from Torremolinos beach, this home is all about coastal relaxation.

So, if you’re not tempted to the sandy shores or nearby Malaga, you’ll find plenty to occupy your days with.

Outside, the home boasts a private pool, as well as a barbecue area for cooking up a storm while taking in the stunning scenery. The town of Cártama is within walking distance, where you’ll find a number of shops, eateries and bars.

Desk / Workplace

Housed in a brand new building just a ten-minute drive from Torremolinos’ centre, this bright, modern apartment is perfectly suited to those looking to completely relax and unwind. With its contemporary decor and sociable open-plan layout, this space exudes the kind of laid-back vibes its Costa del Sol setting is known for. 

Head out to the large private balcony for an alfresco breakfast before grabbing your swimsuit and towel and making a beeline for the communal pool. While away sunny hours here taking cool dips in its waters, or unleash your competitive side with a game of paddle ball on the shared courts. 

With sandy Playa Malapesquera a little over a kilometre away, too, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to outdoor leisure. Meanwhile, the cultural and culinary delights of Malaga are little more than half an hour from your front door.

After a day of activities, head home for starlit drinks before gathering around the dining table for a celebratory meal. Then retreat to your bedrooms for a dreamy night’s sleep before greeting the following day, ready for some more fun in the sun. 

Sol Modernista

Tucked away in hilly Andalusia, this rustic lodge is the ultimate summer home from home. We love the understated feel of the interior here – think warm, wooden tones and cabin-esque beamed ceilings – but it’s the outside space that really takes the cake with plenty of outdoor seating and a private pool for cooling off when temperatures reach their peak. We don’t know about you, but we could easily see ourselves spending all day out here, letting little ones and furry friends roam free while sipping a cool glass of white wine and gazing up at the palm trees above. 

If you fancy getting out and about, though, there’s plenty to keep you occupied nearby. Practise your swing at Lauro Golf Resort, go for a relaxing drive along the Costa Del Sol, or head into Málaga for a spot of sightseeing before coming home and treating yourself to a barbecue on the patio. What’s not to love? 

Palm Lodge

This apartment is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the Costa del Sol sunshine. The balcony shows off the sea views – perfect for evening tipples – and nearby amenities like a gym, tennis court and paddle facilities are nice bonuses.

Whether you're a golf enthusiast, a sunworshipper, beach bunny, or Spanish food fanatic, here, you'll find yourself ideally placed for getting the most out of the Southern Spanish summer (or any time of year, really).

Awake in one of the lovingly decorated bedrooms, then, having refreshed in one of the contemporary yet classic bathrooms, step out onto the furnished terrace for a look at the magnificent view as it is bathed in a warm morning light. What better accompaniment to your first cup of coffee of the day? Well, perhaps a locally baked pastry comes a close second...

Will you hang out here a little longer? Catching a tan as you catch up with the characters from your latest novel? Or perhaps it's straight down to one of the three communal pools for a spot of swimming and socialising with the other holidaymakers?

Not only is there a plunge pool on the private roof terrace and a separate balcony for sundowners, but the Mediterranean views are top-notch. Factor in the communal gym, shared sauna and on-site parking, and you can see why it caught our eye. Another thing we love? The location.

Don't forget to make yourself a batch of popcorn to get the full experience.

Better still, step out onto your private sun-drenched terrace and enjoy alfresco dining from the comfort of your own home – it's complete with traditional terracotta tiles, comfy seating, slatted screens for added privacy and sea views in the distance. We can think of nothing better than a warm summer evening spent out here with friends, family and good conversation as the water glistens on the horizon.

Back inside, escape the midday heat and put your feet up in the breezy living space with nautical blue tones, tropical artwork and minimalist furnishings. It's a fresh and functional spot to unwind with a magazine, whip up a few lite bites in the kitchen and generally chill out – just ensure you bookmark the day with a glass of sangria on that terrace.
