Why Almería is the home of discreet luxury in the Mediterranean
In Almería, luxury is lived with discretion and authenticity. Our approach is simple: elevated comfort, carefully managed privacy, and a curated selection of homes that invite you to slow down. In The Villa Collection, we handpick every property to guarantee three pillars: a private pool, a singular location (for its views or tranquility), and generous capacity so the whole group has room to breathe.
The volcanic character of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park offers protected coves, clear skies, and a special light all day long. In the Levante Almeriense (Mojácar and Vera) you’ll find a livelier scene, beach clubs, and services within easy reach. Day to day, we host Spanish families seeking an unforgettable week as well as production companies and agencies that require premium logistics. And yes, we’ve hosted Hollywood actors who value—above all—discretion and convenient, private access.
We prefer 7-night minimum stays: it gives the group time to settle in, lets us coordinate private chef, nanny, yacht outings, or wine tastings, and ensures you truly enjoy without rushing.
Top areas to rent in (and how to choose well)
Cabo de Gata: San José, Agua Amarga and Las Negras
San José balances iconic coves (Genoveses, Mónsul) with convenient amenities; here we recommend Villa Infinity, ideal for families with children thanks to its generous capacity and spacious common areas.
Agua Amarga is perfect for those seeking discretion and a special atmosphere. Groups of up to six can enjoy this enclave from our Villa Bianca.
Las Negras charms with its bohemian vibe and its location at the heart of the Natural Park; Villa Retreat is the ideal place to experience this corner.
And if you’re looking for secret coves to stay near, take a look at one of the most private and special properties in the collection: Villa de Cabo.
East side of Almeria: Mojácar and Vera
Mojácar offers more atmosphere and amenities within walking distance (food, beach clubs), and from Villa Fiora you can enjoy complete privacy and unbeatable views of the area. In Vera, we have Villa Piano, a majestic private estate, perfect for groups that prioritize spaciousness and high-quality finishes.
For filming or corporate groups, Mojácar and Vera offer seamless access, support providers, and logistics.
The Villa Collection: what we require from every property
Private pool, smart orientation, and views that elevate the stay
Every villa includes a private pool and generous outdoor areas. We look for bright orientations, clean sightlines, and livable terraces. Details we prioritize: pergolas or natural shade, a functional outdoor kitchen, and post-beach showers to keep indoor areas pristine.
Capacity 6–25 guests
We work with capacities from 6 up to 20–25 guests. We recommend prioritizing en-suite bedrooms for group harmony. For 12–14 guests, moving up to seven bedrooms often pays off in space and privacy. For multi-generational families, separating a kids/teens area from the primary suite and creating a clear gathering hub (island kitchen + porch) works brilliantly.
Concierge services that make the difference
Private chef, nanny, and tailored wellness
A private chef is one of our signature services, focused on local products (red prawns, quisquilla shrimp, Raf tomatoes). We design it as an experience, not just catering: a discussed menu, pairings, and live cooking if you like. A trusted nanny gives adults the peace of mind to enjoy a wine tasting or a terrace massage without watching the clock.
Yachts, tastings, and unique experiences with the essence of Almería
We arrange yacht outings along the Cabo de Gata coastline, private tastings with a local sommelier, and wellness days (sunrise yoga, massages). The villa becomes your operations base for experiencing Almería with five-star ease.

When to book and what a week in a luxury villa looks like
High vs. low season: date strategy
For July and August, it’s wise to book early, from four to six months in advance. The most requested villas go fast. June and September are the sweet spot: excellent weather, fewer crowds, friendlier rates. For Easter and long weekends, confirm ahead of time and note the 7-night minimums.
