Welcome to Casa de Ámbar

Your boutique B&B getaway in the heart of Andalusia

Casa de Ámbar

We are a luxury, family-owned and run boutique Bed and Breakfast in the Guadalhorce Valley, 30 minutes from Malaga Airport, the endless Costa del Sol beaches, and some of Andalusia’s most beloved destinations.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing getaway, a family holiday, a couple of rounds of golf, a cycling adventure or simply looking for a peaceful place to unwind, Casa de Ámbar is the perfect base. Spend your days exploring whitewashed villages, mountain landscapes and vibrant coastal towns before returning to the tranquillity of the countryside.

Our five stylish en-suite rooms have been designed with comfort in mind, while every morning begins with a freshly prepared breakfast, made with care. Add a heated pool and jacuzzi, cosy outdoor spaces, genuine hospitality and a warm welcome for children and pets, and you’ll discover why so many of our guests leave already planning their next visit.

We are located about 30 minutes from Málaga International Airport, Málaga city centre, as well as the sandy and varied beaches and lively streets of Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Marbella and Puerto Banús. Around an hour away you will find the stunning Caminito del Rey, the breathtaking city of Ronda, Gibraltar, Sotogrande and Granada. This makes it ideal as a base to explore the area, or to stop for a few days as part of a road trip.

For golfers, Alhaurín Golf Club and the 27 hole Lauro Golf are within 10 minutes, while the world famous Real Club de Valderrama and Finca Cortesin are just over an hour, with plenty of other options in between.

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 and air-conditioning. Each features a queen sized bed, with the option of twin beds in the family room. Breakfast is included for all guests.

Check-in starts at 3pm and finishes at 9pm.

Check-out is until 11am.

Our facilities

At Casa de Ámbar, we have created a space where you can spend your day relaxing, or use as a base for exploring the region. You can enjoy our swimming pool and jacuzzi, which are heated in the cooler months. The pool area has loungers and parasols and is secluded on three sides by plants, making it private, cosy and cocooned. As night falls, the area is illuminated, creating atmosphere and warmth.

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 relax 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 Spain was first settled by humans in Neolithic times, although the name Alhaurin was given to the area by the Moors. They saw the strikingly fertile valley, overlooked by the Sierras de Mijas and de las Nieves, 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 sister town, Alhaurín de la Torre.

Nowadays, the area is renowned for its produce, including olives, honey, seasonal vegetables and citrus, and is a mix of managed farms and wilder forests and hills. The nearby sea and mountains mean that it is generally spared from the worst of the scorching heat that impacts inland Andalusia in the summer. 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.

What our guests say

A true little paradise – full of warmth and authenticity. We stayed at Casa de Ámbar from April 3rd to April 6th, 2026 as a family consisting of 2 adults and 2 children! Honestly, it’s one of those rare places you don’t just visit, but truly experience. From the very first moment, Aurelija and Brian made us feel incredibly welcome. What stands out most is the genuine warmth and care they put into everything they do. This is not a “standard stay” – it feels like being hosted by people who truly love what they’ve created. The attention to detail is exceptional. You notice it everywhere: in the beautifully designed rooms, the thoughtful amenities, and the many small touches that make the place feel special rather than staged. In a world dominated by convenience food and short-lived experiences, Casa de Ámbar is the complete opposite. Everything feels authentic and made with intention – homemade bread, fresh cottage cheese, delicious cookies, and a variety of perfectly prepared egg dishes. Aurelija and Brian even adjusted their schedule and opened earlier just to prepare breakfast for us – something that perfectly reflects their mindset as hosts. Casa de Ámbar is not just a place to stay – it’s a place that reminds you how powerful mindfulness, quality, and genuine hospitality can be. By the way, the Pool and relax terrace is the icing on the cake! We highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you again Aurelija and Brian for this wonderful stay. We will definitely come back.

Casa de Ambar is a beautiful and welcoming B&B, with warm hospitality from the hosts, a delicious homemade breakfast. Aurelija and Brian have a beautiful B&B in a truly stunning location. They are incredibly friendly and make sure you don’t miss a thing during your stay. Everything is thought through with care and attention, which made us feel really welcome and relaxed. The breakfast was amazing, with lots of homemade products – a real treat to wake up to every morning. We were also really happy with the facilities they had for our young child, which made our stay even more enjoyable and easy. The heated pool was a big highlight for us, especially in April – it really made a difference and allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even more. We definitely recommend Casa de Ambar – it’s a special place and we’d love to come back!

We stayed here from May 7th to May 10th for a long weekend, and it was such a beautiful discovery. Brian and Aurelija are incredibly welcoming, kind, helpful and always available if needed. They truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere is so calm and cosy, exactly what we were looking for. The heated pool and jacuzzi were a real bonus and made the stay even more relaxing. Breakfast was amazing: a generous buffet with the possibility to order eggs, pancakes and more every morning. Everything was delicious and homemade: especially the cookies… absolutely incredible! We travel with our little dog, and we were genuinely touched by all the attention they gave him. The room had been prepared with bowls, a dog bed and treats waiting for him. Such thoughtful details, and something very rare to find. Thank you so much for making this stay so special and memorable for us. We already hope to come back very soon! We recommend this place 10
