Villa Garden in Benajarafe, a holiday villa with private pool a short walk from the beach

Málaga east coast, 20 minutes from the airport

Villas Near the Beach

Benajarafe and Rincón de la Victoria · 300 m to 1 km from the sand · Private pool · Direct booking

Honest definition first: none of our houses has a gate onto the sand. What we have are four villas on Málaga's quiet east coast where the beach is a walk away rather than a drive. Villa Garden is about 300 metres from Benajarafe beach and its promenade; Villa Botanic, Villa Miramar and Gran Sol are around a kilometre from the beaches of Torre de Benagalbón and Rincón de la Victoria.

This stretch of coast between Málaga city and Torre del Mar is where people from Málaga go to the beach: long sandy beaches, chiringuitos serving espetos, a seafront path you can cycle for kilometres, and none of the high-rise resorts of the western Costa del Sol. Málaga airport is 20 to 25 minutes by car.

Every villa below is managed by our own team. The prices on the cards are real low-season prices from our booking engine, the calendar on each page gives the exact total for your dates, and you book direct without platform fees.

What the east coast beaches are like

Benajarafe beach

Four kilometres of dark sand and calm water in front of Villa Garden, with a promenade, a handful of chiringuitos and a small supermarket. Lifeguards and showers in summer, and far fewer people than the beaches west of Málaga.

Rincón de la Victoria and Torre de Benagalbón

Town beaches with a long promenade, restaurants and the Sendero del Cantal tunnels carved into the cliffs between Rincón and La Cala del Moral. Villa Botanic, Villa Miramar and Gran Sol are around a kilometre away, about 12 to 15 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car.

The seafront path

A continuous promenade and cycle path runs from Rincón de la Victoria towards Málaga and east along Benajarafe. Bikes, scooters and evening walks are the local routine.

Espetos and chiringuitos

Sardines grilled on a cane over an open fire are the dish of this coast. The chiringuitos on Benajarafe and Rincón beaches do them from spring to autumn; our villa pages list the ones we go back to.

Nerja, 35 minutes east

If you want cliffs and coves rather than long sandy beaches, our two houses in Nerja (Villa Nerja and Casa Alborán) are a 5-minute drive from El Playazo and 10 from Burriana. See our Nerja page.

Getting there

Málaga airport is 20 to 25 minutes by car on the A-7. All four villas have parking. From Villa Garden you can manage most days without the car; from the other three a car makes the beach, shops and Málaga city easy.

FAQ

Questions guests ask us

Which villa is closest to the beach?

Villa Garden: about 300 metres, a 4 to 5 minute walk, to Benajarafe beach and its promenade. Villa Botanic, Villa Miramar and Gran Sol are around a kilometre from the beach, roughly 12 to 15 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car. Each villa page has a distance table.

Are these beachfront villas with direct access to the sand?

No. None of our houses opens directly onto the beach, and we prefer to say so clearly. They are villas with private pools or gardens where the beach is within walking distance, between 300 metres and about a kilometre.

Do the beaches have services?

Yes. Benajarafe, Torre de Benagalbón and Rincón de la Victoria are town beaches with lifeguards in summer, showers, sunbed hire in high season, chiringuitos and a promenade. They are sandy beaches with calm water, suitable for children.

Can we walk to restaurants and shops?

From Villa Garden, yes: chiringuitos, restaurants and a small supermarket are within walking distance. From Villa Botanic, Villa Miramar and Gran Sol the shops and restaurants of Rincón de la Victoria are a 15-minute walk or a few minutes by car.

How far is Málaga city?

Around 20 minutes by car from all four villas, or by the suburban bus along the coast. Málaga airport is also 20 to 25 minutes away.
