Located next to the coastal town of Sabinillas, about 10 minutes west of Estepona and 20 minutes East of Gibraltar. The property is situated between the charming old town of Estepona and the lovely Puerto de La Duquesa, both only about 5km /3 miles away.

Over the last few decades, the Costa del Sol has become one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations. Its pleasant climate, numerous beaches and Golf courses have certainly influenced this. There are countless places to visit and things to do which make it one of the most successful tourist areas.
Other places of interest within easy striking distance include: Ronda, Benahavís, Mijas, and many of "the white villages".
Andalucia cries out to be explored with its rolling countryside, olive and citrus groves, mountains and Europe´s most Southerly snow ski resort in the Sierra Nevada, less than 2 hours drive away. Add to this historic cities like Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz and so many more, plus the Mediterranean and Atlantic beaches and you will need to visit more than once!
The Estepona / Albayt Costa Galera Country Club area
Situated less than 500 metres from a local unspoilt secluded beach. If you prefer something more lively, the beautiful beaches of Playa del Cristo, Estepona and La Duquesa are only a 5 minute drive. Likewise Sotogrande, Puerto Banus and Marbella are only 10 - 15 minutes away by car.There are several attractions close by to interest the whole family. Selwo Safari Park in Estepona with its animals roaming semi-wild is a great day out as is the Zoo in Fuengirola. There are also 2 Water Parks closeby, one in Mijas Costa one in Torremolinos. A great day out is a visit to Gibraltar, (but don't forget your passport) where you can take a tour of 'The Rock' and have close contact with the Apes. For the more adventurous, you can also take a day trip to Morocco on the fast Ferry from Algercias. There are at least 40 golf courses along the coastline. Closest to the apartment are Estepona and Duquesa, both within a 5 min drive and reasonably priced. The famous Valderama course is only 15 mins away.
For the more adventurous, you can also take a day trip to Morocco on the fast Ferry from Algercias. Also in the area are several beautiful villages, towns and cites. These include Casares, Ronda, Mijas, Selville and Granada to name but a few. The nearest Mercadona (supermarket) is in Sabinillas, which is approx 1km away. Here you will find just about everything you need at very reasonable prices. There is a lovely restaurant in the Country Club itself which has an excellent menu and is very reasonably priced. About 200m away there are two very nice restaurants, Spanish and Italian. A 5 min drive in either direction will take you to Estepona or Puerto de la Duquesa where you will find numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs etc. We recommend that you hire a car when visiting the Costa del Sol.

Guestbook for Luxury 3 Bed Duplex Apartment
Just to say a big thank you for all you did to make sure that our recent stay at Costa Galera went well. We had a wonderful time, the boys loved choosing which swimming pool to visit and having the playground so close by was ideal for our little one. The apartment was fabulous and we had so much space for the 5 of us both inside and out with all the terraces. Having your agent on site was a real plus too - what a friendly and helpful person!
Many thanks again, Neil, we really did feel that you went out of your way for us and that our holiday was as important to you as it was to us. I will happily recommend you to our friends. CS
Dear Sir, thank you for an unforgettable stay and all your great help and
that of Greg - a great person. Please feel free to use all or part of this as it
serves you. We would happily answer the phone or e mail from prospective
guests to vouch for the place and you.
Dear Mr. Evan and prospective guest,
In the summer of 2010 our family stayed at the condo in the Estepona area
for a week during our month-long stay in Spain. Our thoughts and comments are
very positive indeed and we will be happy to offer personal explanation for our
enthusiasm. Why?
Location and Facility
In addition to views from the roof of the Med and sumptuous mountainside
fields, views from every room offered indescribably bucolic beauty evocative of the
film "A Room with a View". Together with beatiful terraces on all sides, a small
grill, and a pool just out the door, and satellite tv in English and Spanish
(it was World Cup after all!), it was a couple of days before we could tear
ourselves away to visit nearby Gibraltar, Morocco, the White Towns, Granada
or the beaches... Fortunately we're not golfers so we didn't have to use the
driving range just behind the back yard! Of course the place had a nice
kitchen plenty of bathrooms and sleeping for our party of 6. Well appointed and
comfortable, it was a pleasure to return to after a hard day of touristing
or madcap driving.
The Deal
The price was reasonable and more so as cleaning is INCLUDED with the
price. No surprise, and a much better value than many places we have stayed over the
years.
Contact
Both the owner and the local contact (Greg) were tactful, and extremely
helpful at all times even with our incredibly obtuse selves. Whether it was help
with getting the right channels for the Cup games, where to get stuff for
the fridge on the weekend, or a great place to eat, they were also the ONLY
folks who gave straightforward directions. Thats right, Directions. We followed
them, and they were neither ambiguous nor wrong, no roads no longer in
service or with the wrong number of roundabouts, no incorrect exit number... We did
not have to consult a gps, map or ask for help.
Locale
There are loads of quaint places for a tea or espresso, bocadillo or cervesa
-and the area populace was the warmest and most relaxed of all the places we
visited. Despite being easily accessable, it is over a rise and away from
any traffic or activity and breathes the air of the open Med, and the mysteries
of the Mountain Gods. You can shop in nearby Estepona with its quaint
oceanfront main drag, or find many helpful suggestions from the locals on what to do -
secrets of the region you (and WE) will never forget.
We have visited so many places, and there are yet many places still to visit
for the first time; but this one was the first one we already have marked to
visit AGAIN.

We had a fantastic holiday at Neil's apartment. The apartment is very well
equipped and perfect for a family holiday. The location next to the pool is
also great, but with several other pools to chose from, the kids had loads to
chose from. The onsite SPA & Pool Bar were also great and very convenient. Overall
a great holiday and we look forward to returning next year.
'We had a great time at the villa, the villa was lovely and the country clubs facilities were very nice, we really enjoyed ourselves' - Helen Marshall
'My family and I had a fantastic holiday staying in Neil's three bedroom apartment on the Costa Galera resort in August 2007. The accommodation was clean and welcoming and well equipped for the five of us. The variety of pools available on the complex meant that you could always find a quite pool if you wanted and the family pool alongside the pool bar was a great place for the kids to make new friends and enjoy themselves safely. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to other families' - Anne-Marie Walker
Just to say a big thank you for all you did to make sure that our recent stay at Costa Galera went well. We had a wonderful time. The apartment was fabulous. We really did feel that you went out of your way for us and that our holiday was as important to you as it was to us. I will happily recommend you - Cathy
We had a brilliant time at your place in Costa Galera. The location was excellent and we made use of the pool at the clubhouse, the playground on the hill, and the Chiringito(?) round the corner. We spent most of our week at Christo Beach in Estepona, which was also near our friends house. The beach is great and only 5-10 mins from your place. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed it, and Im sure that we will be back in contact soon - Rob Jones
"It was fantastic. Roomy, quiet & comfortable. All the appliances worked well. The Country Club staff was very kind, especially Sr. Antonio. The location of the complex is also great for somebody who tries to avoid the crowd. Also the little beach across the main road was perfect" - Lubo Todorov
"My family and I had a fanastic holiday in this beautiful apartment. The area is quiet and relaxing which all helps to recharge your energy. The apartment had everything you could ask for and the owners could not have been more helpful. Thanks for a great holiday!" - Teresa Wheatley
This property was as advertised - a well run complex with excellent landscaping and caretaking throughout. The apartment itself has all that you need - fully functional kitchen, lots of balconys (3) and indoor space. We had two adults and two small children joined by my parents and we had lots of space. You will be spoiled for choice of swimming pools (one right on your doorstep) with our favourite one being by the restaurant/pool bar. You will definitely need a car as it is a good 10 min drive into Estepona where you will find a great harbor and old town with lots of plaza's and restuarants to choose from. A great location for the family, not in party central of town. There is also a good playground right across the street from the apartment. Neil, (owner) is very accomadating and even arranged for a baby cot for us. This lives up to its rating - you will not be disappointed.
Our holiday was super.
Thanks Neil for letting us stay in your house. We found everything we needed. Over the day we mostly went to the beaches nearby, loved the bars on the beach and got good food for fair prices – than back to the apartment relaxing at the pool. The weather was good – we spent all days at the beach went swimming and the day with clouds and rain we went to Cadiz, which was a nice trip.
The most we liked the “emptiness” of that arear and the Albayt Club at that time of the year. Still nice weather, warm enough, most bars open and all the long beaches just for us….that was very relaxing.
Thanks again and maybe we will contact you again I the future for another stay.
Günter & family
