beaches and swimming pools near Almáchar and Cútar

"the great thing about staying here is that if you want you can go to the beaches during the day....and then come back to the hills in the evening where it´s all peaceful and very Spanish"    David and Norma Coupe: St Helens England

Maro Beach 45 minutes drive

The Coves East of Maro - a national park - 45 minutes drive

There are many good beaches within an easy drive of our properties - from long stretches of sand with watersports and seafood bars, to tranquil, deserted coves

Our favourite beach - El Cañuelo - is described by The Telegraph ("excellent for snorkelling and scuba diving") and The Guardian ("stunning") as one of the best beaches on the Costa del Sol. 
Set in a natural park with crystal clear water it´s deserted for much of the year.

Playa Cañuelo, one of the best beaches in Andaluciía
  "On the N340, 6km east of Maro, turn off at 
  the small sign reading 'Playa de Cañuelo'. 
. .the beach is beautiful and quite empty    
during our visit in May, well worth the drive"

Gabe and Adri from Boston USA

The pool at El Borge. A big favourite with a paddling pool and good restaurant .- 5 minutes drive from Almáchar and Cútar
"The pool at Almáchar is a five minute walk from the house (Casa de Luz). It´s friendly, not too crowded and has a nice bar. You can always take a five minute run down the hill to the new pool at El Borge which is fantastic!!!!"   Nicola Cussons and family (party of ten) London
