Sierra Mountain Sanctuary

Sierra Mountain Sanctuary: Andalusia

Perched in the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda mountain ranges, this villa can be found in Torrox, a rural part of the Costa del Sol. The villa has rustic charm aplenty, but its impressive vistas make it all the more special.

Inside, authentic features take centre stage – think Cotto tiles, beamed ceilings and original farmhouse features. The beamed veranda, encased in glass, is the heart of the home – flooded with natural light from the windows that run the room's length, we expect you’ll spend most of your time here dining and unwinding with a cold glass of Albariño. From here, you can catch views across the sprawling landscape and onto the sparkling pool.

The outside space is encompassed by flora and cacti so you can relax in your natural surroundings. Start your day with coffee on the terrace before stretching out on the Balinese-style daybed for sun-dappled lounging. When you need a quick refresh, slide into the inviting pool for a refreshing dip. Come the golden hour, you’ll want to enjoy a jug of sangria before settling into a barbecued feast around the family-style table.

When you’re ready to hit the beach, it's a short drive to Torrox – here, you’ll find the Torrox lighthouse, white sands and restaurants overlooking the Mediterranean.
