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.

Home truths:
*Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – you'll be able to park on site
*There's no door separating the main bedroom from the rest of the house, so privacy may be limited
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll need to bring your own toiletries with you to use during your stay
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
