Located in a self-contained position within the grounds of our typical Spanish villa in El Faro and less than a 5 minute walk along a pretty country path to the beach and a variety of excellent restaurants, this apartment is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the Costa del Sol but is still surprisingly close to the main tourist towns of Fuengirola, La Cala and Marbella which are all just a short drive or bus ride away, making it a destination that is ideal for both memorable holidays and long winter breaks.

El Faro is best known locally for its iconic lighthouse and the soft golden sands of the beach are broken here and there with rock pools that draw children of all nationalities with nets and buckets and the desire to catch the biggest crab possible, making it an excellent option for lazy days in the sun. In the evenings there is a large choice of restaurants catering for all tastes ranging from those serving international cuisine and cocktails, in a white, sophisticated atmosphere to the traditional chiringuito’s on the beach where the menu is shorts, flip flops and fresh paella. All of the local restaurants are within easy walking distance from the villa and are open from early evening until late at night. From Spanish, Italian, British, Nordic, Mexican, Chinese and Indian to Speciality Seafood, all of the restaurants in El Faro invariably offer generous platefuls and good value for money.

If you do not intend to hire a car during you stay, El Faro has several small supermarkets that stock all of the everyday essentials however if you prefer a more varied choice, a quick and reasonable taxi ride (or about 10 minutes by bus) will take you to Fuengirola or La Cala where you will find Lidl, Aldi, Carrefour or Mercadona.

Just back from 16 nights at Beverley and David’s beautiful villa. We have been going to El Faro for many years, staying in a few different accommodation’s. The villa was spotless on arrival and had great outdoor space and pool area. Beverley and David were perfect hosts. All in all we would highly recommend staying at this perfectly located villa.

A Hidden Gem in a stunning location
We were thrilled when we arrived and saw our accommodation and the surrounding countryside, it felt like an oasis of tranquility yet the beach, amenities and restaurants all within easy walking distance. There are so many different outside areas to enjoy and the pool was larger than expected and a treat on the hot sunny days. Beverley and David went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. They are super friendly hosts. We would not hesitate to book this villa again. The photos and description are spot on but it is only when you are actually there that you can feel yourself relaxing and soaking up the beautiful surroundings which envelop this amazing villa.

Why they chose this property

This private and self-contained apartment is in the grounds of our own beautiful Spanish villa that we have owned for some years and is loved and enjoyed by ourselves and our family. Now we have decided to let guests share our home in the sun to experience Spanish life in the most beautiful part of the coast of Andalucía.

What makes this property unique

Our special villa apartment is situated in the Mijas Costa which we think is the most attractive part of the Costa del Sol both for places to visit and things to do. Surrounding the apartment, El Faro is a pleasure to explore with supermarkets, excellent restaurants and bars all within easy reach by foot. The beach has soft sands, interesting rock pools and safe surf, making it an excellent option for a lazy day in the sun. In the evening you can either dine al fresco on the open terrace with stunning views under the stars or stroll along to the local restaurants and enjoy a wide choice of international cuisines.

We will arrange to personally greet you on your arrival and although we will never disturb you during your stay, we are always available in case you would like any information or assistance.
