Villas in Costa del Sol
For a holiday break by the sea, spacious and offering more privacy we recommend you to book a villa. The province of Málaga is a great area where to get immersed in the festive spirit of the south, with a strong presence of youngsters and adults alike looking for sun and fun in Puerto Banús, Marbella or Málaga. If you book a villa near Nerja, Fuengirola, Mijas or Torremolinos, you will be closer to the beach. On the contrary, if your idea of the perfect holiday is a quiet area, surrounded by nature and mesmerising landscape, Sierra de las Nieves and Antequera range are the best sceneries with properties scattered in its hillsides.
Fantastic villas with swimming poolsFinding a villa in Costa del Sol is a synonym of space and relax. The villas boast spacious outdoor areas with patios and terraces where to enjoy a long summer night with friends and family. Most properties have swimming pools so you can ease the heat during the warm months of the Spanish summer. This is an ideal option for families with kids and groups of friends celebrating gatherings and special occasions. Most villas around Marbella and Benalmádena are close to areas where kids have many options and activities.
