Beyond your doorstep

More Than a Place to Stay

Your home is completely private, but beyond your doorstep six hectares of Monte Valeo are yours to explore. Wander through the orchards, collect fresh eggs, harvest what's in season, move, relax, slow down or simply find a quiet place overlooking the valley.

Workation

Work Differently. Live Differently.

Work for a few focused hours in the morning, then close your laptop and step straight into nature, a swim, a walk through the orchards, lunch under the pergola.

High-speed Starlink covers the whole farm and every house has a wired connection. Casita de la Luz is especially suited for workations, with a height-adjustable sit-stand desk, ergonomic office chair and mountain views.

Work when you need to. Live the rest of the day.

Guest experiences

Loved by Our Guests

From the very first minute I felt myself slowing down. Hayo gave us all the time we needed to arrive before surprising us with fresh eggs, avocados and wonderful local recommendations. The hottub, sauna, and yoga platform have amazing views over the valley. I'll definitely be back.
LARSNETHERLANDS2026Verified Airbnb guest
A wonderfully unique experience surrounded by breathtaking scenery and complete tranquillity. The children loved exploring the gardens, feeding the chickens and playing for hours outside, while we enjoyed the sauna, hot tub and beautiful surroundings. The villa was beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to return.
LAURENUNITED KINGDOM2026Verified Airbnb guest
We stayed here with our ten-month-old daughter and loved every minute. Everything we needed for travelling with a baby had been thoughtfully prepared. We immediately felt at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we book a single home for a private stay?+

Yes. Each of our three sanctuaries can be booked individually for families, friends, small groups and teams.

Is Monte Valeo suitable for families with children?+

Yes. The farm is designed around outdoor life, and children are warmly welcomed. We provide toys in the sanctuaries and a range of child-friendly kitchen items as well.

How far is Monte Valeo from Málaga and Marbella?+

Monte Valeo sits in the green hills between Málaga and Marbella — a 30-minute drive on a good road. Taxis are also available.

Which facilities are shared and which are private?+

Your sanctuary — house, garden, terrace and pool — is entirely yours. Only the wider farm facilities are shared with guests staying in our other homes. You can book the wellness area for a private session.

Are retreats happening while we stay?+

No. We never combine holiday stays with retreats. When a retreat is taking place, the retreat group has exclusive use of the retreat accommodation and wider farm, and no holiday stays are accepted.

Do retreat groups have exclusive use of Monte Valeo?+

Yes. When you host a retreat at Monte Valeo, Casa con Alma and Casita de la Luz are reserved together exclusively for your group, along with exclusive use of the wider farm. We do not accept holiday stays during your retreat, so you can create your experience with complete privacy and without other guests on the farm.

Do we need a car?+

We recommend one. The farm sits in the countryside, and a car makes it easy to reach villages, beaches and the mountains around us.

Is the wellness area included?+

If you are hosting a retreat, yes — the wellness area is included. If you are staying with us for a holiday, the yoga platform and barn gym are included throughout your stay, as well as one private 3-hour wellness session with access to the sauna and hot tub. Additional private wellness sessions can be booked for €40 per 3-hour session. The ice bath is available with guidance only and can be arranged with us during your stay.

Can the pools be used year-round?+

The pools of Villa Valeo and Casa Con Alma are open year-round. Casa Con Alma's pool can be heated on request for €200 per week, extending swimming into the cooler season. Casita de la Luz is open through the warmer months (1 April to 31 October).

Can we work remotely from Monte Valeo?+

Easily. High-speed Starlink covers the farm and every house has a wired connection. Casita de la Luz also has a sit-stand desk and ergonomic chair.

How close are the nearest shops, restaurants and villages?+

The towns of Coín and Alhaurín el Grande are around 7 minutes away by car, with supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and local shops. Málaga, Marbella and the coast are around 30 minutes away.

Is Monte Valeo completely off-grid?+

Monte Valeo is designed to be largely self-sufficient, with our own water source and solar energy — without compromising on comfort. All sanctuaries have electricity, hot water, air conditioning and heating, and high-speed internet.

Can we bring pets?+

We love animals, but unfortunately guests cannot bring their own pets. Monte Valeo is a working farm with free-roaming chickens, ducks and other animals, and this helps us keep them safe.

Is Monte Valeo easy to reach?+

Yes. Monte Valeo is around 30 minutes from Málaga Airport and is easily accessible by car. The road to the farm and all the way to the sanctuaries is fully paved — no dirt roads or 4x4 required.
