House rentals in Málaga

Casa con dos plantas en el centro de Málaga.
El mejor lugar para estar en Málaga! Una estancia muy acogedora, limpia y te sientes como en casa. Salva fue MUY amable. Nos hubiera encantado estar más tiempo con mi familia.

LetsMarbella - Tropical Oasis
Das Haus hat eine tolle Atmosphäre. Man ist direkt im Urlaubsmodus. Es gibt gleich drei unterschiedliche Sitzmöglichkeiten an denen man direkt am Haus die Sonne genießen kann. Die Anlage drum rum ist sehr schön und gut gepflegt. Uns hat die Lage gefallen. Es ist entspannt / ruhig und nicht weit weg von allem was man sehen will. Tolle Unterkunft auf unserer Rundreise durch Andalusien. Sehr netter persönlicher Empfang. Immer wieder gerne!

Bonita casa 1 de 4, con vistas al mar y montaña
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans le logement de Jordi. Un bel accueil à notre arrivé avec le nécessaire pour le lendemain matin. Le logement est bien équipé et propre. L’emplacement est plutôt correct, à quelques kilomètres de Malaga. Un accès facile et rapide à la plage qui est juste de l’autre côté de la route.

Su hogar de vacaciones
Tout était parfait, tant l’accueil et le logement. Logement avec tout ce dont on à besoin pour passer de fantastiques vacances. Placé au calme à proximité des commerces et de la plage

Precioso Chalet ( Piscina- Garaje privado- Jardín)
Lovely stay - loads of space and really relaxing- hope to come again!

Historic Center House of Marbella, Old Town House.
My husband and myself stayed in Sebastian 's house in the old town of Marbella for 4 nights. The house was just perfect for our needs- really comfortable and spotlessly clean. But the real attraction of this house is the location- walking distance to the beach, bars and restaurants. And with a lovely little garden opposite the front entrance. Just so nice. And Sebastian was so helpful- we asked about getting to the airport and he sent me all the information we needed straight away. A great stay in Marbella. Thank you Sebastian. 😊

La casita de Viriato ApartamentosMalagaManagement
We had a great time staying at Clara's AirBnB! Everything was uncomplicated and easy, and exactly how we imagined.

Casa Del Mar - Marbellamar
es un espacio muy bonito lleno de comodidades, al lado de la playa, con espacios para disfrutar en familia, su aseo impecable, la anfitriona siempre pendiente, atenta y amable, la estadía en este lugar fue completamente de mi agrado lo recomiendo 100%. Para mí y mi familia superó nuestras expectativas.
Villa rentals in Málaga

Stunning villa by the sea - a must experience!
Vi har hatt en fantastisk uke. Oppvarmet basseng var perfekt for ungene, de badet hele dagen og vi voksne koste oss også. Huset er stort nok i massevis for to barnefamilier. Godt vertskap, fikk raskt svar på spørsmål vi hadde underveis i oppholdet. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Elegant 4 bed villa close to beach/golf Marbella
La maison est juste magnifique les photos proposées sur Airbnb sont vraiment la réalité. La maison est très bien équipé il y a tous ce qu il faut…. Je pense qu on reviendra

Spanish Villa / Private Heated Pool / Sea Views
Wat een prachtige villa! We hebben genoten van het huis, het zwembad en de prachtige omgeving. Het huis was compleet ingericht, netjes en schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Een heerlijk zwembad met overal zitjes en ligbedden in de prachtig aangelegde tuin. De bbq hebben we veel gebruikt. Eva is geweldig! Reageert snel, denkt mee en is super vriendelijk! Dank je wel voor een heerlijk verblijf!❤️

Luxury villa: great views, BBQ, pool & outdoor bar
we mochten omdat we eerder geland waren er al eerder in en dat was top. Vriendelijke ontvangst van Tania, die alle kamers doorliep en instructies goed uitlegde. Het is een mooi en groot huis met boven een zeer grote slaapkamer. Elke kamer had een bad en toilet. Het zag er keurig uit. De keuken bevatte alles en glazen en borden ect. waren er genoeg.

Villa Genista - Luxury Villa with private pool
Maison et vue magnifiques Lieu très calme, où on peut faire du tennis, paddle, golf Mikael est très sympathique, et généreux. Nous espérons revenir une autre année!

Exclusive 5* Villa
Stunning villa and location. We travelled with our two children and they absolutely loved the heated pool which was a saviour when the clouds came. The host and Pepe were so helpful and we were even able to check in a little early when our flight arrived. Highly recommend for a peaceful week away.

2 fully equipped villas, 4bedrooms+heated pool+spa
We had 3 parties, 2birthdays and a 5yr old boy to enjoy the facilities even though it predominantly rained, the heated pool and hot tub were a godsend and the games available were just brilliant for the dry spells. I would not hesitate to recommend the 2villas and space to anyone. Thanks Antonio

Villa Las Higueras
Super schöne Unterkunft! Vom Pool aus hat man einen wundervollen Blick bis zur Küste. Die Kommunikation ging reibungslos und super einfach. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit

fantástico apartamento familiar playa y piscina.
our first air bnb booking. perfect place for what we needed and where we wanted to go. Sergio keep in contact making sure all was ok and explained getting in and checking out clearly. would really recommend.

Encantador Dúplex para 6 a 1 minuto de la Playa
Le logement est très facile d’accès. Très bien situé et très propre. L’hôte est très facilement joignable, très réactif et très arrangeant. Je conseille ce logement proche de la mer.

Apartamento cerca de la playa Torrequebrada
En veldig koselig leilighet med alt du trenger for et ferieopphold. Til og med paraplyer til utlån. Kort veg til restauranter, og buss til Malaga sentrum kun 300m unna. Det er ikke terrasse her, men med stranda 300m unna så var ikke det noe vi savnet. Sjarmerende Benalmadena Pueblo med alle sine spisesteder er en 30-40 minutters gåtur unna (litt bratt). Her går det også buss til vakre Mijas. Veldig hyggelig vert som svarte raskt. Kan absolutt anbefales.

Apartment house with private pool with view
Great stay. Very well equipped, lovely views- just make sure you’re prepared to walk some hills in the area!

casa los geranios
Antonio David fue muy amable y atento! Nos recibió y nos despidió en persona aconsejándonos en todo lo que le preguntamos. La casa tenía todo lo necesario para estar una semanita

Casamora cerca Caminito del Rey (Ardales, Málaga)
Tudo ótimo! Maravilhosa estadia para ir aos caminitos del rey. O salvador arranjou-nos bilhetes e tudo! Tudo impecável. Casa muito acolhedora e muito bem equipada.

Apartamento "Relax y Golf"
We had the pleasure of spending 10 winter weeks in Bárbara's pleasantly bright and warm apartment. The apartment is just as nice as described here. Something that is missing here, however, is the area's "Zona Verde" with hiking trails that wind through the Mijas Golf Urbanizacion. Walking through these green zones became a daily event that my wife and I, along with our big dog, really appreciated. Bárbara is a friendly and helpful host and all communication with her was quick and smooth. We highly recommend Bárbara's apartment.

Increible vivienda, vista al mar
Karina's place is the perfect "home base" on the Costa de Sol for day-trips to Málaga, Marbella, and Ronda -- and for going out in the evenings to Puerto Marina Benalmádena. It's clean with great views of the sea on 2 levels, and the 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout is ideal for a group of 3-4 travelers. Karina was very responsive and even filmed videos on various aspects of her place to help make sure everything was clear. I definitely recommend it !

Your guide to Málaga
All About Málaga
Located in Andalusia on the Costa del Sol, Málaga is Spain’s busiest port city, boasting iconic museums, gorgeous Mediterranean beaches, and a popular film festival that has transformed the city into a cultural hotspot. As one of the oldest cities in Spain, Málaga’s cobblestone streets in its historic center are wonderful to explore. Discover tapas bars and restaurants, eclectic shops and cafés, and even a Moorish-style traditional hammam spa. There’s a modern, edgy side to Málaga in the Soho arts district, home to funky bars and innovative street murals. Visitors flock here to enjoy Málaga’s dark sand beaches and cool blue waters; rent a beach chair and dine at a seaside café for the optimal Costa del Sol experience.
You’ll find the Museo Picasso Málaga here as the city is the birthplace of the legendary Spanish artist. The space houses more than 200 of his artworks. You’ll also find museums of contemporary artists, automobiles, and ethnography here, as well as a museum of glass and crystal.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Málaga
Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, there’s no bad time to rent an apartment in Málaga. Because the coastline of Andalusia is protected by mountains, the area has its own microclimate. If you love the beach and the sun, the summer months of June through August are the most desirable, as the temperatures are balmy and enjoyable. There are also some popular events here too, including the week-long Málaga Fair in August, with live music, fireworks, and a funfair. Fall brings cooler yet moderate temperatures. In September, the Luna Mora Festival, celebrates Andalusian culture and food. Winter temperatures in Málaga are cool and brisk, so don’t forget to pack warm layers. In February, the entire city comes out to celebrate Carnival. Spring offers warmer temperatures, and April sees La Semana Santa (Holy Week), celebrated with a number of elaborate religious processions throughout the city.
Top things to do in Málaga
Málaga Cathedral
This Roman Catholic cathedral was constructed between 1528 and 1782 but never completed. The second tower on this imposing Renaissance and baroque-style cathedral was never built, leading to it often being referenced as the “one-armed lady.” You can go inside and explore the lavishly decorated building’s 131-foot ceiling and two organs with more than 4,000 pipes.
Centre Pompidou Málaga
Málaga is packed with cultural venues. An offshoot of the famous Pompidou Center in Paris, Centre Pompidou Málaga opened in 2015. Located in the port and housed under an enormous colorful glass cube, the museum features works and rotating exhibitions drawn from the Pompidou’s modern and contemporary art collections.
Castillo de Gibralfaro
This giant 14th-century castle sprawls across the hillside over Málaga, offering panoramic views over the city. You can take a bus or hike up the winding path to the castle, where you can walk around the ramparts. Inside, explore several courtyards and buildings, including a mini military room.
