Hacienda Sol  

Set in Trapiche (also listed with nearby Portugalejo), this recently renovated retreat sits within easy reach of Torrecilla Beach, Carabeo Beach and Gibralfaro Castle. Malaga Airport is about 35 miles away, with city sights a short drive from the property.

A freshly renovated vacation home vibe with pool-and-mountain views, terraces and garden spaces. Units are air-conditioned and fitted with flat-screen TVs (streaming-ready), kitchens with oven/microwave and coffee gear, private bathrooms with walk-in showers, and safety deposit boxes.

Make a splash in the main pool (and outdoor pool/aquapark features), lounge by the terrace and garden, or fire up the barbecue area for casual meals. On-site fun includes a children's playground, table tennis, darts and picnic spots; nearby you can snorkel, cycle or hike.

Stay connected with free Wi-Fi throughout the property and take advantage of free private parking. Private check-in and check-out add a smooth, flexible touch to your stay.

Grab drinks at the on-site bar or dine in the hotel's restaurant, or keep it informal with the BBQ facilities and picnic areas—easy, relaxed options that match the coastal-meets-mountain setting.
