Situated in the Sierra Gorda mountains and surrounded by a luscious garden, this modern villa offers pure relaxation for a group of friends or family seeking a rural retreat.

When you’re not soaking up the sun from the poolside loungers, spend the day on the shaded Balinese daybed, turning pages of your new book. After hiking the local mountain trails or teeing off one of the nearby golf courses, you’ll love returning home for a soak in the master suite’s tub. The sleek and modern kitchen is perfect for rusting up tapas dishes – where better to savour a Mediterranean feast than alfresco on the terrace – there’s a barbecue too for grilled dishes. As the stars descend, enjoy an evening dip in the pool or share a glass or two of Sierras de Málaga Syrah in the outdoor lounge.

Make a day trip down to Malaga for a culturally rich afternoon in the vibrant city – here you'll find Costa del Sol's golden beaches, sea-grazing tavernas and bustling bars.
