Your Magical Hill

A place to stay, shaped to be remembered.

The hill and its villas seen from above, Almuñécar and the coastline beyond at sunset.

The hill

Forty thousand square metres, discovered slowly

Almost 100 metres of elevation. Four villas and El Palacio, with its three suites, set across gravelled paths and quiet terraces.

Cantalobos means the singing wolves. The hill is meant to be walked at a gentle pace, not seen all at once.

Morning mist settling in the valley below the hill, sun breaking over the terraces.

In harmony with nature

A climate that shouldn't work, and does

Sitting between the Sierra Nevada and the African coast, the hill grows avocados, mangoes and olives this far north.

Over 300 days of sunshine a year. Outdoor living isn't an amenity here — it's the default.

Homes instead of rooms

The estate can be booked villa by villa, or as a whole — 42 guests across five homes.

Gatherings

Room for meetings, weddings, and everything between

Retreats, celebrations, and quiet conversations that need privacy and presence, not a stage.

Plaza de Cantalobos takes shape later in 2026: a dome seating 60, for conferences, dinners and celebrations.

The table

Food and wine rooted in place and season

Local produce and Andalusian tradition, with wines from the region. Guests can cook paella, make tapas, or sit for a private tasting with the family behind the Calvente vineyard.

Meals are where the day gathers itself.

The rhythm

Padel in the morning, the Alhambra by afternoon

Shuffleboard, boules, the Garden Gym in open air, and the Pool Club. Walks while the light is still low.

Excursions reach Granada and the Alhambra, small villages, wineries, and the Sierra Nevada.

Almuñécar

A town with 2,700 years behind it

Phoenician and Roman roots, tapas bars, beaches, a life that continues all year.

Five minutes down the hill. Ten to the Mediterranean.
