Malaga Hills, Adults Only boutique, wellness & hiking Eco-Hotel

Vréneli, Ruud, Estrella and Estela couldn’t have been better hosts. This is a fabulous space to relax in mountains of Andalusia, after an hour or so driving from Málaga airport. We hired a car from the airport and were glad to have chosen an automatic with a little more power than the average entry level rental car. The drive is fairly straightforward from Málaga Airport. By all accounts there are some amazing hikes, although the purpose of our trip was to switch off and relax as much as possible, and we had no intention of doing anything active. It’s tough to beat a delightful breakfast, freshly prepared and beautifully presented by Estela or Estrella, either looking towards La Maroma (the highest peak of the Sierra de Tejeda) or, from the other side of the table, down the valley to the Mediterranean Sea. Made better still with quality coffee, (and Cava’s always an option). Both Estrella and Estela were very patient with our extremely rudimentary Spanish conversations and have great local knowledge. Estrella very kindly made dinner reservations for us each night at different restaurants around Cómpeta, a short drive away. Our favourites were El Cortico Paco and for accommodating dietary requirements, the staff at El Pámpano were particularly helpful. We have already recommended Málaga Hills to friends and colleagues since returning home.

Me and my girlfriend had a very pleasant time at Malaga hills. The hosts and staff are amazing people. It’s possible to choose out of a variety of different activities to make your stay as smooth and calmly as possible. You decide to make a Yoga lesson in the morning? Just let the staff via WhatsApp know and they arrange everything needed. Malaga Hills is located in a very beautiful place surrounded by hills, nature and lovely little villages like Cómpeta or Canillas de Albaida. So if you like to calm down from stress or just need a relaxing time, this is the perfect stay.

Beautiful place! The location is stunning and the hotel itself is lovely with a relaxed vibe and wonderful breakfasts. The optional extra of yoga in the morning was a great addition. The owners and staff are so kind and friendly, they give great recommendations about what to do/where to eat (no lunch/evening meals in the accommodation itself). We booked very last minute and had a couple of travel issues, but via their handy WhatsApp communication they were incredibly accommodating for us. We booked the smallest room but this was still plenty big enough and the main shared terrace space is perfect. As the hotel has only a few rooms we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves at times!

A wonderful place and we felt very welcome by the owners! Beautiful views and a quiet location. Can really recommend this small hotel. And the breakfast was delicious!
