Villas in Málaga
Málaga suits couples and small groups who want a city stay with city beaches, the Alcazaba and the Picasso Museum close at hand. Most homes here are small and few have a pool, so it is a city break rather than a poolside villa week.

About Málaga
Málaga is a port city with a pedestrianised centre, where Calle Marqués de Larios is lined with cafés and boutiques. The Alcazaba dates to 1065, and Gibralfaro Castle gives the best views over the city, with a Roman theatre and the old town at its foot. For the beach there is La Malagueta, a man-made city beach, while Pedregalejo is a seaside neighbourhood about 3 km from the city and the place to try grilled sardines on skewers. Our homes are spread around the city rather than packed into one district. They run small, mostly sleeping two to six, and nearly all have air conditioning.
Is Málaga right for you?
- Best for
- City breaks with old-town sightseeing and city beaches
- Not for you if
- You want a private pool and space for a big group, as few homes here have either.
Near Málaga
Pedregalejo
A seaside neighbourhood with a dark-sand beach about 1,200 m long, protected by artificial sea defences and backed by promenades.
Montes de Málaga Natural Park
A natural park lying about 2 km north of the city centre, useful when you want hills rather than the seafront.
Lake Viñuela
The largest reservoir in Málaga province, less than an hour's drive from Málaga airport, with swimming, sailing and kayaking.
Getting to Málaga
Málaga airport lies just outside the city, so the transfer is short. The old town is pedestrianised and a car is unnecessary there, though with homes spread around the city a taxi or hire car may help; check the location before booking.
When to go to Málaga
Sea breezes keep summer more comfortable than the heat inland, though July and August are still hot. Winters are mild because the Málaga Mountains shelter the city from colder weather, and it is nearly always possible to reach a beach. Expect some rain in the cooler months.

Where do you swim in Málaga?
La Malagueta is the man-made city beach, and Pedregalejo is a dark-sand beach about 3 km from the city, roughly 1,200 m long. El Palo is the beach picked out as family-friendly.
Can you see Málaga without a car?
Yes, for the centre. It is pedestrianised, the Picasso Museum is in the centre, and the Roman theatre and old town sit at the foot of Gibralfaro Castle.
Is Málaga good in winter?
Winters are mild, and the Málaga Mountains shelter the city from colder weather. Some rain falls in the cooler months, but a beach visit is nearly always possible.
Do holiday homes in Málaga have a pool?
Few do. Most homes here are small, usually sleeping two to six, and nearly all have air conditioning, with a garden in many. If a private pool is essential, look at other parts of the coast.
