We are located 30 minutes from Málaga International Airport, and Málaga’s bustling city centre, as well as the sandy beaches and lively streets of Benalmádena and Fuengirola, and the upmarket surroundings of Marbella and Puerto Banús. There are other beaches on the coast if you prefer a more laid back vibe. Around an hour away you will find the stunning Caminito del Rey and the breathtaking city of Ronda.

For golfers, the Seve Ballesteros designed Alhaurín golf club is 10 minutes away, while the world famous Real Club de Valderrama and Finca Cortesin, host of the 2023 Solheim Cup, are just over an hour.

The roads of Málaga province and Andalusia in general are popular with cyclists and usable year round, although we do actually get rain from time to time.

Our rooms

Our B&B has five bright, comfortable, double, en-suite bedrooms with private entrances. Each features a queen sized bed, which can be separated into twins in some of the rooms

Check-in starts at 3pm and check-out is at 11am.

Our facilities

 
Staying at Casa de Ámbar, you can take advantage of our swimming pool and jacuzzi. These are heated in the cooler months. The pool area has loungers and parasols and is secluded on three sides by plants, making it private, cozy and cocooned. As night falls, the area is illuminated, making it atmospheric and warm. Above the pool area, guests can use our sun terrace to chill out with a drink and a view of the distant mountains. We have an orchard that is also open for you to sit in the shade amongst our citrus trees. Our outdoor dining area gives a beach bar vibe thanks to its bamboo roof, swaying bamboo curtains and warm solar lighting, while our indoor breakfast and dining room is cool in the summer and heated by a stove in winter. Pets are allowed at Casa de Ámbar, and there are places on the premises they are free to enjoy.

About the area

This part of Malaga province has been settled by humans since Neolithic times, although the name Alhaurin was given to the area by the Moors. They saw the strikingly fertile valley, overlooked by the Sierra de Mijas mountains, and fed by the Guadalhorce and Fahala rivers, and called it Al-haurin, or Allah’s garden. El Grande was added afterwards, to distinguish Alhaurín el Grande from its (almost identical twin) sister town, Alhaurín de la Torre.

Nowadays, the area is renowned for its produce, mainly olives and citrus fruit, and is a mix of managed farms and wilder forests and hills. Alhaurín el Grande itself is a charming and bustling, working town of around 24,000 people. Much of the architecture  in the town centre is traditional Andalusian, especially to the west of the town centre. Alhaurín has plenty of good restaurants and bars catering to all tastes.
