Garden furniture is provided, a built in barbecue on the top terrace is an ideal place to cook your evening meal whilst enjoying the view and a gin and tonic. The pool is heated with solar panels and is on a separate lower terrace with gated access, the pool has three steps at one end and is approximately 7m x 4m in size.
Coast/Beach
Five mins drive to the beach. There are a wide selection of beaches, private little coves and also an aqua park at Almunecar.
Golf
The local 18 hole golf course is 5 mins away. It is right by the sea and has a very nice restaurant which welcomes visitors.
Skiing
The Sierra Nevadas are approximately 70 mins drive away, but offer good facilities, equipment rental, restaurants, hotels and a good selection of runs suitable for beginners and experienced skiers.
Travel
Malaga airport is 80 mins away, Granada 60 mins and Almeria 90 mins. Good road access to the airport and to the villa but essential to have a car.
Distances
Salobreña is 5 mins drive, moorish town on a Rock topped by a castle. Almuñecar 15 mins drive, very spanish tourist town with a little more night life and activity. Motril 10 mins drive, a spanish working town, but worth a wander round. Granada 60 mins drive, a lovely place to explore with lots of moorish influence and of course the Alhambra to visit.
Worth booking tickets before you visit to avoid queues.
Further details

Owner profile
Pat and Richard - sunset on Salobrena Beach
About the owner
Pat and Richard hail from the New Forest and are retired with 4 children and 3 grandchildren. We have maintained a house in the New Forest so can enjoy the best of all worlds - summers on the Solent, warm springs and autumns in Andalucia and winter skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains above Granada.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Our first experience of this area of Andalucia was in 1998 when we bought and renovated a Moorish village house high above the Lecrin Valley. Although an idyllic life and location we wanted somewhere that was warmer in the winter with more amenities for family visitors so moved down to the coast in 2004. Salobrena is wonderfully located, enjoying an exceptional micro-climate, being protected from the Andalucian winters by the high Sierra Nevada mountains but with easy access to Granada to the North along a spectacular motorway. Malaga airport is also easily reached to the west by the coastal motorway. This area of Andalucia has missed out on most of the ugly development to the west yet avoids the agricultural 'plastic' to the east whilst retaining its Spanish ambience all year round.
Unique benefits of the property
We love the Moorish culture of Andalucia so visits to Granada with its Alhambra palaces, Cordoba with its spectacular Mezquita and Seville are a constant joy. The Sierra Nevada ski centre is also only 90 mins away so you really can ski in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon! The house itself is located on the prestigious Monte Almendros community with tennis court, communal pools and children's play area. Good shopping is also a must and the cities of Granada and Malaga have everything you could want. And then there are the beach restaurants and the sunshine! What particularly sold us the house, however, was its views with an open panorama in front of us from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Mediterranean Sea and all with a heated pool and air-conditioning!
