Holiday homes

Novo Sancti Petri is packed with accommodation opportunities. As well as hotels, it is also home to many villas and holiday homes providing quality self-catering opportunities for the thousands of tourists that descend upon the resort in the summer season. Villas can give you ultimate exclusivity and privacy and can be great value for money, especially for families or large groups of people.

It's hard to believe that the wild beauty of the La Axarquía is just half an hour from the Caleta de Vélez (or Málaga's Costa Oriental) - an uninspired coastal strip of down-trodden buildings and second-rate hotels - especially when compared to the better-known pueblos blancos to the west, with their glitzy Costa del Sol gateway of Marbella.

Every year, millions of tourists take a break in Andalucía and indulge in the lifestyle that helps to make this Southern Spanish region so much of a hit with visitors and residents from all over the world. In Andalucía it is all close at hand, thanks to a wide range of accommodation available, year-round and at prices to fit every budget - in every location.

Wild golden beaches with white-capped waves begging for a surfboard, sail or kite-board. That's what you'll find in this laid-back but dramatic coast, stretching from Gibraltar all the way to the Portuguese border. Whether you want your accommodation to be in a small resort or more secluded, there are apartments in trendy Tarifa, windsurf capital of Europe, relaxed seaside town Conil de la Frontera and hippy hang-out Canos de la Meca.

Renting a villa or holiday home gives you ultimate freedom to do what you want on holiday. Villas in Marbella are special and offer all the imaginable facilities, including private swimming pools, views of the ocean, private parking and much more.

If you want unspoilt, wild beaches, the Costa de la Luz is for you. From the trendy wind and kite-surfing spot Tarifa, this Cadiz coast stretches to the Guadalquivir river estuary is a haven of tranquility.
