What does Costa Andalucia Holidays offer and in
which area?
Costa
Andalucía Holidays offers luxury apartments, holiday homes and detached villas
with private pool. These are located in the province of Málaga from
Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas and Alhaurin de la Torre to
Marbella and Estepona. Through fellow rental companies we also offer
accommodations in other parts of Spain. Our complete offer can be found in the
menu "Find your holiday destination".
How does Costa Andalucia Holidays select its
accommodations?
A
large part of our accommodations are under our own management. The
accommodations that Costa Andalucía Holidays has under its own management are
personally selected by us on quality, location and furnishing with in mind
always the question; would we like to celebrate holidays here ourselves? We
offer other accommodations in close cooperation with reliable local partners in
other parts of Spain. Costa Andalucía Holidays carefully selects its partner
travel agencies.
Why a villa, holiday home or apartment instead of a
hotel?
Privacy, freedom, your own kitchen and living room and travelling with family, friends or a large group on holiday together are just a few of the advantages. And often renting a holiday accommodation per person per night is even cheaper than renting a hotel.
A villa with swimming pool or an apartment offers you the possibility to go on holiday with your family or family, with a group of friends or several families or couples together.
In your holiday apartment or villa you have a fully equipped kitchen so you can enjoy cooking your own meals, which also saves money. And after dinner you can immediately enjoy in the garden or by the pool.
In a villa or apartment you decide when you get up or at what time you want to come home. After all, you have no fixed times for breakfast or dinner or other obligations.
How do I search for an accommodation?

What are the possibilities for hibernating in
Malaga South Spain
The Costa del Sol is, as its name suggests, one of the best places in Europe to spend the winter under the sun. Enjoy the maximum number of hours of sunshine combined with the lowest seasonal prices.
We can offer you the best price for a stay on the Costa del Sol. The stay has to be at least 4 weeks in one of our luxurious accommodation with all the comforts of home such as int. TV, free Wi-Fi and heating.
And the coastal towns such as Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Marbella are certainly not extinct in winter. Also in winter there is a lot to do and experience.
Winter is also the ideal time to play golf on one of the more than 50 golf courses along the Costa del Sol.
And last but not least, on the Costa de Sol the medical facilities are really good. There are several good private clinics where you can go with your national insurance and there are several international English speaking general doctors, dentists, etc. Information about this can be found in the info book in the accommodation, but you can always call us for assistance during your stay.

Why are some holiday homes published on multiple
websites?
Holiday
homes can be offered in different ways, for example through different web
portals. It may also be that a large villa with different prices is offered
based on the number of people that will actually occupy the property or with
weekly versus monthly prices for a longer rental for the winter period.
Are the photos the reality?
"What
you see is what you get" is our motto; we try to show the real situation
on our pictures as much as possible. You may therefore be sure that the villa
or the holiday home or apartment that you see on the pictures is the house that
you book or have booked. It is possible, however, that the owner can renew or
modify the interior, for example, there is a different sofa, coffee maker, etc.
than the one you had seen in the picture. However, we always try to keep the
pictures as up to date as possible because we know how important this is for
you.
Is the accommodation also occupied by the owner or
others during our holiday?
During
your stay, the rented holiday accommodation will never be occupied by anyone
other than you and your fellow travellers. You always have the accommodation
entirely for yourself and your fellow travellers.
Can I offer my villa or apartment through Costa
Andalucia Holidays?
Yes, we are always looking for high quality holiday homes on the Costa del Sol in the province of Malaga in Spain. We are looking for houses from Malaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola to Marbella and Estepona, and inland from Mijas to Alhaurin el Grande and Alhaurin de la Torre.
