The Costa Tropical region

The area is known as the Costa Tropical because of the all year round sunny climate. This coastal area begins just after Nerja and is very different from the Costa del Sol. The stunning cliffs of Cerro Gordo shelter some beautiful coves and beaches. The Punta de la Mona is a pine clad headland where you will discover the attractive Marina del Este which offers a range of water sports and pretty harbourside restaurants. Moving towards Almunecar is the pretty horse shoe bay of La Herradura . To the east of Almunecar is the whitewashed village of Salobrena with the peaks of the Sierra Nevada in the background. One and half hour drive will take you to the ski resorts of the Sierra Nevada or the beautiful countryside of the Alpujjaras. The historic city of Granada with the amazing Alhambra palace and gardens is just one hour away.

The Almunecar area

Almunecar and its handsome Moorish castle sit on a small hill between the mouths of two rivers. Almunecar has managed to retain the atmosphere and character of an old Spanish town with winding narrow streets and tapas bars. Besides tourism, fishing and the growing of tropical fruits remain at the heart of the town's day to day life.
Almunecar has beaches with good facilities - beach beds and parasols for hire, showers and toilets and life-guards in high season. The beach fronts are lined with typical Spanish restaurants and bars serving delicious seafood and tapas.
The town has a water park, bird park and botanical gardens.
There is an open air market every Friday selling Spanish leather goods and pottery as well as bargain clothing.
The first Saturday of each month is the craft and flea market- well worth a browse.

“Peacful and relaxing with great views” I stayed at this villa with all my daughter, her husband and all my granchildren. There were ten of us in all! What a lovely time we had and with all the spacious rooms and gardens we never felt to be on top of each other. There was plenty for the more energetic youngsters in our group with table tennis, badminton and they had lots of fun in the pool. I'm 73 years old and found the villa very relaxing and really enjoyed sitting on the terraces reading and looking at the lovely views. We had some nice trips out to the local beaches and down into Almunecar where I loved to take a coffee or a glass of wine in one of the pretty squares. All in all it was a lovely relaxing holiday and the villa is a great place for a family holiday.

“Escapology” Jaw-dropping views. If this place doesn't take your breath away, nothing will. This is simply the most wonderful, and beautiful place to relax, and watch the world go by, sunset to sunrise. We... more

“A simply stunning villa, peaceful and secluded with the most incredible views.” This was the perfect villa for our big family holiday. The house is surrounded by large terraces with stunning views of the sea and mountains which make for a great place to relax, dine and chill out. The bedrooms are spacious and airy and the ceiling fans meant that we always felt comfortable even though the weather was hot. The pool is set in secluded private gardens and you can gaze at the mountains whilst you're swimming ! Although the villa gave us the feeling of being totally out of the way we were only a short drive from the bustling town of Almunecar and its beaches. We particularly enjoyed walkling around Almunecar which has a really Spanish feel to it and never ceased to amaze us with all the wonderful tapas that comes everytime you order a drink ! We were all so sad to leave this beautiful villa but took home some fantastic memories and will definitely be going back.

“Fantastic place, stunning view, heavenly silence, no one disturbs you” The house is on top of a hill with stunning views in every direction. We like the house very much: It is comfortable, very spacious and well equipped. It is just amazing to sit on the very large terrace, which is on 2 sides of the house. So you can always sit where it is most comfortable concerning sun and wind. The house is about 200-300 metres above Almunecar. You reach it very easily from the motorway using "caminos" which are mostly bituminised. Only the last bit is "natural underground", but it is no problem at all to drive it with the car. We made fantatic trips to Granada and the Alhambra, which takes about 1 hour by car. Nerja is a very nice place, too, and there are very intersting caves near Nerja. In Almunecar the Aquarium is very interesting. We felt extremely comfortable in the house from the first minute on. The welcome service of Roy and Carol is very nice and warm. We will come back to Casa de las Gaviotas soon.

“stunning location!” The stunning location of the Villa certainly has the Wow factor. It is beautiful. Very high up, with views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. The gardens are also lovely, and the outdoor pool a very welcome place to cool off. The Villa is spacious and light, with a Spanish feel. The weather was perfect, so we were able to eat outside, on the covered verandah. The location would be very hard to beat. Great feeling of being away from it all - very relaxing. Almunecar is a pretty very Spanish town. Also visited the Alhambra which is superb.

“A Jewel of a luxury villa” We have been to this part of Spain many times; I can highly recommend renting the Casa de las Gaviotas. A jewel of a luxury Spanish villa, it is really charming with lots of character. Set at the top of a hill with amazing views, mountains to the north and sea to the south. It has large bedrooms all en suite, a fully equipped kitchen and a massive lounge area, all tastefully decorated and immaculately maintained. The swimming pool is set in a large lawned area, surrounded by garden plants and with plenty of sun loungers. A useful base for visiting the inland and coastal towns in this area, our favourite Spanish town is Almunecar, (a mere twenty minute drive from the villa) nestling by the sea in the valley below, a taste of old Spain with steep narrow winding streets and an abundance of tapas bars, fine shops and restaurants. We rent a car from Malaga Airport and it's less than an hour's drive and about the same from Granada, it is very easy to find, at the end of the motorway, you approach the villa up a winding road threading past vineyards and olive groves. Watching a beautiful sunset with a glass or two of wine or cava on the terrace of the Casa de las Gaviotas on a warm Spanish evening is a truly wonderful experience. We shall defiantly return
