Villas in the Costa del Sol

The best areas to find fantastic villas

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 pools

Finding a villa in the 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.

Travellers and activities

Costa del Sol for golf lovers

Costa del Sol offers 70 playing fields where to enjoy good rounds of golf. All levels are welcome. Those who want to get in touch for the first time with this sport will have the opportunity to get an instructor and start practising their swing and their best shots. Great infrastructures and amenities in a unique setting. Some golf courses have the privilege of a stunning backdrop - the azure waters of the Mediterranean.

The mild climate all year-round also favours the practice of this fantastic activity. Get your clubs and enjoy the fairways!

Costa del Sol for active tourism

Costa del Sol and Malaga province itself have spectacular natural spaces for nature lovers and active tourism travellers. Hiking, walking, cycling, climbing and many outdoor activities to be enjoyed in a beautiful scenery. El Caminito del Rey offers stunning views and allows you to walk along the old train tracks. Antequera and Las Nieves are lovely areas with great hiking trails such as the one from Istán to Tolox, a demanding route with rewarding views. That of Artola Dunes is a bit easier and close to the sea. A pleasant stroll better done in the afternoon during the summer.

Before asking your coffee in Malaga, you must learn the 8 different ways of ordering it depending on the quantity of milk and coffee. The most common ones are “nube, sombra, corto, mitad, largo y solo”.

The excellent temperatures makes of the Costa del Sol an ideal beach destination as the beach season stretches from April to October.

Traditions and gastronomy of the Costa del Sol are both tourist attractions.

Costa del Sol1 year hosting with Holidu

I'm Pablo, your local Costa del Sol expert, and I invite you to stay at my comfortable apartment. Located in Fuengirola, it's perfect for those looking to explore the vibrant region and its stunning beaches. From my central location, you're just a short drive from Málaga and Marbella, making it an ideal base for your holiday adventures.

For food enthusiasts, I can recommend three top dining spots. Enjoy quality meats and fresh seafood at Mesón Andrés, indulge in a variety of tapas at Restaurante Charolais, or savour the famous black rice paella at Chiringuito la Ponderosa. Each venue promises a delightful culinary experience on the Costa del Sol.

  • Restaurante Mesón Andrés: Known for its quality meats and fresh seafood.
  • Restaurante Charolais: Offers a wide variety of tapas and raciones.
  • Chiringuito la Ponderosa: Renowned for its black rice paella.

Experience the vibrant culture with events like the Marenostrum Festival, attracting world-class artists, or the unique Feria Internacional de los Países held in May. Don't miss the Feria de Fuengirola in October, one of my local favourites.

  • Marenostrum Festival: Hosts concerts almost every summer weekend featuring global artists.
  • Feria Internacional de los Países: Takes place in May.
  • Feria de Fuengirola: Celebrated in October.

In my experience, Fuengirola is excellently located to maximise your Costa del Sol holiday, providing easy access to nearby cities and attractions. Plus, the local souvenir shops along the promenade offer unique keepsakes to remember your trip.

Best travel time:May to October is the best time to visit Fuengirola, with pleasant temperatures, a great atmosphere and summer festivals featuring world-class musicians.
