About this property

Enchanting villa with private pool and stunning views, close to beach.

This sunny, private villa is situated in a quiet, mature, residential area in the heart of Malaga province. Boasting its own unshared private, secluded pool, sun terraces and gardens, the villa is ideal for a family summer holiday and equally ideal for a romantic get-away. It has a large balcony giving panoramic views of the mountains and sea and is just a 10 minutes walk to the beach. With views of the sea from the balcony you can have a romantic meal on the terrace while the family can sit and relax around the sunny, secluded, private pool area. Being just a stroll away from the local railway station, it is ideally positioned to explore both the Costa and 'real' Spain.


Location: Located just 25 minutes from Malaga Airport, the villa is situated in a quiet, mature complex that stretches from the beach back into the hills.
The views from the villa are magnificent. In one direction you can look up into the hills and the while-walled village of Benalmadena Pueblo. In the other, the blue seas of the Mediterranean stretch out in front of you.
With just a 5 minute walk to the local railway station and a 10 minute walk down the the beach, it is difficult to imagine anywhere more ideally positioned.

The Villa: The large terraces and the private swimming pool are the first things that greet our guests. Open the front door and you look into the spacious lounge with marble floors and high ceilings complete with huge picture window and large balcony looking down to the sea. The main room is equipped with air-conditioning which also provides heat in the winter. Downstairs are the two double bedrooms each equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fan and external blinds which keep them cool for those hot summer evenings.
With gardens walled to give total privacy, visitors can relax in tranquil surroundings while access to the local tennis club with floodlit courts, large swimming pool and world class golf courses are only minutes away.

The Urbanisation: At the entrance to the urbanisation there are several beach bars and restaurants. There is a mini-market, a cafe, a bar as well as real-estate offices in front of the newly opened International English School. Just through the under pass are beaches, more bars and restaurants as well as the local hotel which has entertainment most evenings.
Further back in the complex is the local railway station servicing the coast from Malaga via the airport through to Fuengirola - it is even possible to take a series of trains all the way from London to the urbanisation - one of our clients did! Besides the station there is a small road that travels up into the hills to the village of Benalmadena Pueblo which offers stupendous views over the coastal plain as well as a small restaurant on nearly every corner.

The property was as described. The property was clean and fully equipped. Pool was a god send and well maintained, pool towels was nice addition. Train station close by, also bus links. Quiet area. We kept fit for a week as supermarket, restaurant and beach were all down hill, so a bit of a hilly walk back. Owners communication was excellent and made sure everything was all as it should be. Had a wonderful week with our Grand Children.Would recommend this property.

Super villa in Benalmadena!

A beautiful villa for 4 people. Owner very helpful and a few bits left for us to get us started in the food/drink department. Villa was well kept, with everything we needed. Lovely beach nearby and shop for essentials along with a couple of eating places just a short walk away. Hope to return soon.

This is such a well deigned property, with downstairs bedrooms, two terraces and a pool. You can be in the shade all day, or the sun, if you prefer. The sun was on the pool until about 5, which was perfect to allow the kids to enjoy it in the shade for as long as they wanted. It’s small but deep enough for jumping in, with lovely space around it.The villa isn’t overlooked at all and we were barely aware of our neighbours. We didn’t have a car so we found the steep hike back from the beach, shops and restaurants with small kids a bit of an effort in the heat. The train station is so handy for the airport and for visits to other towns.Watching the sun go down on the hills from the terrace was a lovely treat and the kitchen window to pass food and tableware was particularly appreciated. All in all great space which worked perfectly for our family.

Clive was a very responsive host and made the booking process and any questions about our stay at the villa very easy. We were provided with probably the best welcome pack we've had, wine,beer, water, orange juice, bread, cheese, meat, butter and milk! The villa had everything we needed to spend our 2 weeks there.The pool area was just lovely with stunning views and the lovely pool was a perfect temperature to keep ourselves cool.The villa location is perfect, set on a beautiful street with many other well maintained properties. The views were stunning, mountains, sea and so very peaceful. Being only 5mins from the train station we made good use of that to explore other areas and used it to get back to the airport. I would definitely recommend a visit to this this villa!

Great Stay...

Lovely villa in a great location. Whole process was friction free and the owner made everything a pleasure from start to finish. Would definitely recommend. We stayed for week in early November so weather was just about there as well. Great base for exploring Andalusia but if that's not your thing plenty of places locally and a ton of stuff in Benalmadena. Something for everyone really.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. All instructions given by Clive were so clear and he answered any questions that we had very promptly. The view from the living room is spectacular. The pool was also great as it was so hot when we were there. It is so easy to get to and from the train station and the beach area, where we also used the bus.

This is the second time we've stayed in the villa and we love it so much. It is spacious yet cosy, and has everything you could possibly need. It is very close to the train station which is remarkably good for getting around! The cleanliness of the property is second to none and very well presented. The property management are fantastic and very easy to communicate with. The pool is such a great bonus, very clean, and great fun for the whole family.

Perfect spot to relax and unwind

This villa has stunning views and is well designed and furnished feeling like a home from home. You're never short of something to watch on the Tv with all sport ,movies etc Very convenient for the train too. If you don't have a car it's a steep walk to shops and bars but we managed with the provided shopping trolley and we're both fat and fifty something..... Clive is a very amenable host as evidenced by his communications and help due to mistakes made on our part Overall we had a great holiday here and would return

A real gem in a lovely area

We had a lovely relaxing four days here. The house is in a beautiful location and has lovely views from both terraces, and the house itself is very comfortable. It's away from the touristy parts, but there are enough places to eat within walking distance, as well as a Mercadona. A big plus is the proximity to the train station - we usually rent a car but traveled light this time and were at the house within 30 minutes of getting through passport control. Clive is a great host and the welcome pack was much appreciated. Would thoroughly recommend and we're planning to return.

Well equipped was able to park the car each day outside the house. Didn’t use the pool as the weather was not warm enough but it looked clean and inviting. This property has an oven which many properties do not - bonus

About the host

I am an IT freelance professional who has been very fortunate to travel the world with my job and have lived in Kuwait, China, Hong Kong, Malta, Portugal, Holland, Luxembourg and, occasionally, the UK :)
I was born in Cheltenham, UK and am currently living in Spain while working in the Netherlands - very much the digital nomad

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this villa the very first time I travelled to mainland Spain back in the early 80s and have been living there off and on ever since.

What makes this property unique

The main selling points to me were the wonderful views of the sea and mountains, the tranquil setting and the proximity to the station making the villa secluded enough from the hustle and bustle of the local tourist spots yet near enough to take advantage of them whenever I wish.
