Villas and houses for sale in Málaga: 128 homes

Málaga's villa districts

In a city like Málaga a house with a garden is scarce, but there are a few districts where villas set the tone. East of the centre, on the hills above the sea, lie El Limonar and Pinares de San Antón: stately villas, often from the early or mid twentieth century, with lush gardens and views over the bay. Further east, Cerrado de Calderón and El Candado, with its golf club, offer modern sea-view villas a few minutes from the beaches of El Palo.

On the western side, close to the airport, Churriana is a quieter residential area with detached houses on larger plots and a village feel. Puerto de la Torre, in the north, offers townhouses and villas with more space at lower prices.

Prices and checks

Villas in El Limonar, or with uninterrupted sea views in Cerrado de Calderón, are priced considerably higher still, while houses in Churriana or Puerto de la Torre give you more space for your money.

With older villas in El Limonar a survey is essential, and protection rules sometimes apply to the building. Always check the legality of extensions and pool. In Churriana, it is worth checking how much aircraft noise you can hear.

Who is a house in Málaga ideal for?

For families and professionals who want to combine city life, good schools and an international airport with a garden. Less suitable if you are after a golf resort or a quiet villa estate by the sea; then you are better off looking further along the coast.
