Let's Slide Away

Let's Slide Away: Andalusia

One glance at that water slide and you know this villa will be a hit with the little ones in your group – and the young at heart, too. Add in the glistening swimming pool, fun-filled playroom and expansive terrace and this pad totally ticks our boxes.

Days here start and end outside, soaking up Costa del Sol's endless rays. Take your morning tea on the patio and watch the ducks float by in the private lake, then make a splash in the pool and cool off from the heat. Dinner is best served alfresco as the afternoon slowly fades to nighttime. Don't feel like cooking? Your host can arrange a private chef to do all the hard work for you.

Inside, sunlight filters through the arched windows and reflects off the white-washed walls. The interior is contemporary and sleek, yet each room feels as cosy as it does stylish – and none more so than the impressive main suite, which boasts wall-to-wall views over the garden. There's no better way to end the evening than with a soak in the lavish freestanding bath. Sink into the bubbles with a glass of local wine and admire the stars outside your window.

Location-wise, Nagueles is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but don't let that fool you. The Golden Mile and many picturesque beaches are just a short drive away. Whether you fancy glamorous shopping, fine dining or some family fun in the sun, trust us – this is the place where lasting memories are made.
