Villa Alcuzcuz is in the perfect area to also enjoy many other wonderful resorts.
Located on the southern face of La Serrania de Ronda mountain range, Benahavis is set slightly inland between Estepona and Marbella.
Distinctive to the other resorts nearby simply because of its tranquil, picturesque setting and real Andalusian feel.
Few places on the Costa del Sol enjoy such uninterrupted views of mountains, woodlands and rivers.
The village itself is a succession of well-kept narrow streets hedged with whitewashed Andalusian houses.
The picturesque park of Parque Torre Leoneras is located at the south end of the village and contains the ruins of a medieval Tower and a large lake.
The Montemayor castle was built in the tenth century and is mostly ruins but still has several sections of walls and the Queen's tower intact, from here you can appreciate stunning views of the Costa del Sol.
The Guadalmina River provides great canoeing opportunities, and as you make your way down the river, you will come across waterfalls and plunge pools. Here there is also a lovely river walk which takes you across a spectacular bridge and a traditional Moorish irrigation channel.
The Sunday market is held in the grounds of a shrine and is one of the most popular markets on the Costa del Sol.
When you’re done with your historical explorations, there are a wealth of adventures to get started with! Consider a visit through the winding cobbled streets of Marbella’s Old Town, where visitors can immerse themselves in local fare, flower stalls, gorgeous textiles and homemade wares. For more upscale shopping, a visit to nearby Puerto Banus is a must; guests can find a slew of designer stores here.
Of course, no day would be complete without a good meal, and Marbella is packed full of Michelin starred restaurants, providing the perfect excuse to indulge those taste buds.
Outside of the shopping and the food, Marbella also has world-renowned beaches where one can soak up the sun and grab a cocktail from a beachfront bar! There are plenty more adventures to be had here from water sports & parks to historical tours, hiking and biking.
