Miraflores Villa Owners Club Spain

This huge timeshare development offers over 1200 apartments and villas set in luscious grounds and giving a luxury holiday experience in a popular Costa del Sol setting on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The Andalusian-style units are spaced out in small groups around the lush, green gardens and the resort with its many amenities is half-way between Fuengirola and Marbella.

Apartments and villas are generously-sized, with large, furnished balconies overlooking the grounds and one of the several outdoor pools. The location is hilly, and a fair walk from the beach and nearby restaurants, making it not the best place for those with reduced mobility or very young children. Security here is efficient, and reviews suggest the staff are helpful and professional.

Units from studios up to larger villas sleeping six or more have self-catering facilities including hobs, microwaves, kettles, toasters and plenty of crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils. Living and dining areas are well-furnished and equipped with TVs and cosy seating, and onsite amenities include a golf course, tennis bowls, a social club, beach club and three restaurants.

Within a ten-minute walk from the complex are local stores including a small supermarket, and the bus to Marbella and Fuengirola stops outside the resort. For exploring the beauties of Andalusia’s coastline and interior, a hired car is best.
