A holiday home with a private pool in Andalusia is the ultimate way to truly relax. Just imagine: you wake up to birds chirping, open the shutters, and gaze out over a hilly landscape full of olive trees. The sun is already gently warming the terrace, and just a few steps away you can take a refreshing morning dip in your own pool. No rush, no shared spaces, no crowded breakfast rooms; just you, your travel companions, and the peace of Southern Spanish life.
Whether you’re travelling with your family, your partner, or simply in need of a well-deserved break: this is a holiday on your terms. Here you’ll find the perfect balance between relaxation and discovery: whitewashed villages in the mountains, beaches along the Costa del Sol, lively markets, stunning natural parks, and cities full of culture. Whether you want to do a lot or nothing at all, it’s all possible, but from the comfort of your own holiday home with pool.
Why choose a holiday home with a private pool?
A holiday in Andalusia means sunshine, lots of it. But how you enjoy it makes all the difference. With a private pool, you choose comfort, freedom, and luxury. No busy hotels or shared pools, and you set your own schedule entirely. Whether you take an early morning swim, enjoy a midday siesta under a pergola, or barbecue under the stars at night. Everything happens at your own pace.
The benefits at a glance:
- Complete privacy and peace
- Your own outdoor space with terrace, garden, or patio
- No shared facilities or noise from other guests
- Decide your own rhythm and meals
- Ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends
- More space and comfort than a hotel room
Who is a holiday home with pool for?
A holiday home with a pool suits many different types of travelers. Because you have your own house, you decide how active or laid-back your holiday will be. And thanks to the mild climate of Southern Spain, you can enjoy outdoor living here almost all year round.
Popular groups:
- Families: children can safely play in the garden or pool, without having to consider other guests.
- Couples: privacy and tranquility for a romantic stay, with views and atmosphere.
- Winter escapees: swap cold and rain for sun—many homes are suitable for longer winter stays.
- Remote workers and digital nomads: work with views of the mountains or sea, enjoy reliable Wi-Fi, and jump straight into the pool after work.
Many holiday homes are suitable for every season, with air conditioning, fireplaces, or even underfloor heating.
What makes renting a holiday home with private pool in Andalusia so appealing?
Andalusia—and especially the region around Málaga—is one of the most popular destinations in Southern Europe for holidays filled with sun and nature. It’s also one of Spain’s most diverse regions—and thanks to the warm climate, you can swim here nearly year-round. Especially in the Málaga region, along the Costa del Sol and in the inland area (the Axarquía), you’ll find a wide range of holiday homes with private pools. Here you can enjoy:
- Over 300 days of sunshine per year
- Breathtaking landscapes: mountains, valleys, beaches, and natural parks
- Authentic villages and vibrant cities
- Southern European lifestyle: markets, tapas, siesta, and fiesta
- Great accessibility via Málaga Airport
In short: the climate, the scenery, and the rhythm of Spanish life make Andalusia perfect for those seeking both luxury and relaxation.
Explore the surroundings
Once you leave Málaga behind and drive inland, you’ll discover a landscape straight out of a painting. Nestled in the hills are the famous pueblos blancos—white villages—tucked between citrus groves, vineyards, and almond fields.
Think of Frigiliana, often voted one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Or Mijas Pueblo, clinging to the hillsides with sea views. Other gems include Cómpeta, Sayalonga, Canillas de Aceituno, and Comares; all charming, peaceful, and brimming with Andalusian atmosphere.
In these villages you won’t find mass tourism, but winding lanes, small squares, tapas bars where grandma is still in the kitchen, and a daily rhythm that feels as if time has paused. We offer holiday homes in many of these locations.
Tips for choosing a holiday home with private pool
The selection is vast, so it’s worth thinking in advance about what’s most important to you. A coastal villa offers a very different experience from a mountain retreat. Here are some points to consider:
Location of the holiday home in Andalusia
- Coast (e.g., Nerja, Torre del Mar, Marbella), close to the beach, livelier vibe: Want to stay within walking or short driving distance of the sea? Consider regions like Nerja, Torre del Mar, or the beaches near Málaga.
- Inland (e.g., Frigiliana, Cómpeta, Viñuela), more peace, nature, and authentic Spain: For more space, tranquility, and views. Here you’ll often find authentic villages like Frigiliana, Cómpeta, or Mijas Pueblo.
- High in the mountains or in a valley: views vs. shelter from the wind: Some homes are perched higher up with panoramic views, while others are tucked away in warm microclimates.
Facilities of the home
- Is the pool heated in spring or autumn?
- Is there a covered terrace or pergola for shade?
- How reliable is the Wi-Fi for remote work or streaming?
- Is there a fenced garden or plenty of outdoor space for kids/pets?
Comfort and style
- Are you looking for a cozy holiday home, an authentic Spanish house, or a modern villa?
- Do you want luxury extras such as a jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, or air conditioning in all rooms?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms are there—is the home suitable for multiple generations or couples traveling together?
