Finca La Raja is a private estate in Alhaurín el Grande, in the Guadalhorce valley behind Málaga. Nine separate houses, each with its own private pool, central heating and wifi. Málaga airport is half an hour away.
The nearest course, Alhaurín Golf, is three kilometres down the road. Six are within twenty-two — a different course every day for a week, all inside a half-hour drive, without moving hotel or repacking a bag.
Our larger houses take ten to fifteen players, so most societies fit in a single villa: your own kitchen, your own terrace, and nobody on site but your group.
The courses
| Course | Distance | Holes |
|---|---|---|
| Alhaurín Golf — Severiano Ballesteros design | 3 km | 18 |
| Lauro Golf | 12 km | 27 |
| Mijas Golf — Los Lagos and Los Olivos | 15 km | 36 |
| La Noria Golf | 20 km | 18 |
| La Cala Resort | 21 km | 54 |
| Chaparral Golf | 22 km | 18 |
Distances as published by the estate, still to be checked on the road one by one. We will add measured drive times rather than guess at them.
The January question
Will the house be warm?
The Andalusian golf season runs October to May: the courses are in better condition and far quieter than in summer. The catch, in most rural rentals here, is the house — built for August, cold in January.
All nine houses
Central heating
Throughout the house, bedrooms included — not one radiator in the lounge. Plus a fireplace and air conditioning.
All nine houses
Wifi
For the one who has to log on between rounds, and for settling the argument about the twelfth.
Most houses
A garage
Somewhere to leave the clubs rather than loading them in and out every day, and room to clean and dry kit.
The pools are not heated. From November to April they are cold, and we would rather say so now than have you find out.
Houses that take a whole society
La Acequia
Sleeps 10 · 5 bed · 2 bath · 200 m²
Seven-foot professional pool table and a Balinese day bed beside the swimming pool.
Cortijo Campesinos
Sleeps 10 · 4 bed · 5 bath · 300 m²
All four bedrooms en suite. Its own fenced plot with a wood-fired oven and a summer kitchen.
El Lentisco
Sleeps 14 · 8 bed · 7 bath · 400 m²
Eight bedrooms, six of them en suite, on a private 2,000 m² plot with its own gate.
Cortijo los Cantos
Sleeps 15 · 7 bed · 5 bath · 400 m²
Gym and games room. The pool is fed by a waterfall from a spring in the sierra.
More than fifteen? El Lentisco and Cortijo los Cantos sleep 29 between them, on the same estate. Two houses, one society, no taxis in between.
Why a villa rather than a hotel
One bill, split by head
No per-room surcharges and no single supplements. You rent the house and divide it between you.
Breakfast at six
Your own kitchen, so an early tee time does not mean waiting for a buffet to open.
Somewhere to sit together
A terrace and a pool for the group, not a corner of a hotel bar shared with strangers.
Back at any hour
Nobody minds what time you finish or how loud the post-round argument gets.
Getting here
Measured on the road network from Alhaurín el Grande, the village below the estate.
| From Alhaurín el Grande | Distance | By car |
|---|---|---|
| Málaga airport | 22 km | about 30 min |
| Fuengirola and the beach | 21 km | about 31 min |
| Málaga city | 37 km | about 43 min |
| Marbella | 34 km | about 41 min |
A hire car is essential — the estate is in the countryside, which is rather the point.
