Why Rent a Villa?
Villa rental in Málaga has become the preferred choice for families, groups of friends and couples looking for a holiday with more space, privacy and freedom than a conventional hotel. The province of Málaga, with more than 320 days of sunshine a year, an extraordinary food scene and 160 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline, is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in Europe.
At Holidays Malaga we manage an exclusive selection of holiday villas and apartments in prime locations along the eastern Costa del Sol. Every property has been carefully chosen and is personally managed by our local team. We are not a faceless booking platform: we are Francisco and Isabel, a Málaga-based team who live and work here, and who put the same care into your stay as we would into our own home.
Choosing a holiday villa rental on the Costa del Sol instead of a hotel means having a private pool all to yourself, a fully equipped kitchen to cook with fresh produce from the local market, gardens where children play freely, and terraces with Mediterranean views where you can dine under the stars. All with the peace of mind that a local team is available around the clock for anything you need.
Our vacation villas in Málaga are located on the eastern coast of the province — a less crowded, more authentic area than the large tourist complexes, yet perfectly connected to Málaga city, the airport and the main attractions of Andalusia. From charming Rincón de la Victoria to the white villages of the Axarquía, we offer holiday experiences that combine nature, culture and genuine Andalusian hospitality.
Whether you are searching for a villa with pool in Málaga, a sea-view apartment for two or a spacious retreat for a large family reunion, our carefully curated portfolio has the perfect holiday home in Málaga waiting for you. Every stay includes premium amenities, local insider knowledge and the kind of personal service that turns a good holiday into an unforgettable one.

Discover areaA whitewashed village in the hills of the Malaga Axarquia, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Nature, silence and panoramic views of the sea and mountains. Just 10 minutes from the coast.
Discover areaThe coastal strip between Malaga and Nerja: less crowded, more authentic and home to some of the province's finest landscapes. Fishing villages, cliffs and hidden coves.
Discover areaThe eastern Costa del Sol, stretching from Málaga to Nerja, is one of the province's most exciting areas for a holiday villa rental. While the western coast (Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Marbella) concentrates mass tourism, the eastern side retains its authentic Andalusian character: fishing villages where sardines are still grilled on beachside skewers, markets bursting with produce from local farms, and beaches where you can still find space in the height of August.
From our properties you can reach Málaga city centre in 15-25 minutes, the airport in 25-40 minutes and Nerja in 30-45 minutes. The Axarquía region, with its white villages, hillside vineyards and outstanding inland cuisine, is literally around the corner.

Why Málaga?
Málaga is not just sun and beach — it is one of the most complete destinations in Europe. With more than 320 days of sunshine a year, an internationally acclaimed food scene, world-class museums (Picasso, Pompidou, Carmen Thyssen) and a vibrant cultural life, the province of Málaga offers far more than most people imagine.
The Costa del Sol has 160 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline, from the hidden coves of Nerja to the golden beaches of Marbella. Inland, the Axarquía surprises with its white villages, hillside vineyards and an interior cuisine that deserves a trip in its own right. Ronda, perched above its spectacular gorge, is less than two hours away.
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) connects directly with major European cities: London in 2.5 hours, Berlin in 3 hours, Amsterdam in 3 hours and Stockholm in 4 hours. Budget flights with Ryanair, easyJet and Vueling make Málaga one of the best-connected destinations in the Mediterranean — and the perfect base for your holiday villa rental.

FAQ
Every villa rental with Holidays Malaga includes premium bed linen and towels, high-speed WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, welcome products, air conditioning, Smart TV with streaming, and private or nearby parking. Villas also include a private pool, barbecue, garden and outdoor furniture. We arrange professional cleaning before your arrival and provide personalised 24/7 support throughout your stay.
In most cases, yes — especially for families and groups. A villa rental for 6 to 8 guests typically costs between 150 and 250 euros per night, which works out to just 20-40 euros per person. A comparable hotel on the Costa del Sol would cost 80-150 euros per person per night, without a kitchen or private pool. Cooking at home with fresh local produce also saves significantly on restaurant bills.
Prices vary by season, location and property type. A holiday apartment with sea views starts from 100-150 euros per night. Villas with a private pool for 8-12 guests range from 200 to 500 euros per night. In high season (July-August), prices can be 30-50% higher. Booking directly with Holidays Malaga guarantees the best price with no platform commissions.
It depends on the location. Our Gran Sol apartment in Rincon de la Victoria has a supermarket within a 4-minute walk and a good bus connection to Malaga city centre. Villas in more rural locations such as Villa Selvatic in Arenas benefit from a hire car, although we arrange airport transfers on request. We advise on the best transport option for each property.
Booking directly with Holidays Malaga has clear advantages: a better price (without the 15-20% commission charged by platforms), direct contact with the team that manages your property (not a call centre), flexible check-in and check-out, and a local concierge service with authentic recommendations. We know every property personally because we manage them ourselves.
Absolutely. Malaga is one of the safest destinations in Europe and our properties are designed with families in mind. Villa Selvatic has a children's playground (tipi), games area and a pool visible from the terrace. Villa Miramar has an enclosed garden and a games room with a pool table. Gran Sol is in a quiet urbanisation with a communal pool and tennis court. We provide cots and highchairs on request.
