Quintessential Andalusia With Luxurious Details

A typical Andalucian country home, Cortijo el Mirador sits on private rural estate where a dream Spanish break means scenic seclusion, dramatic vistas, soft textiles and a personal chef serving up the best local cuisine.

About Cortijo el Mirador

Cortijo el Mirador imbues the essence of Andalusia into one single property: a refined Spanish country estate, located near the heart of Spain’s cultural capital of Malaga.

You’ll feel it the first time you drive to the property, where spectacular hilltop vistas stretch across three mountain ranges and the distant Mediterranean, its blue depths reaching south into Morocco. In Spain, the “Mirador” is where you stop for a few minutes to take in the view, but here, its all yours for as long as you stay!

This 300 square-metre home, set on 10 scenic acres, establishes a new standard for bespoke luxury: the attention and amenities of a five-star hotel, with the intimacy and exclusivity of a private villa. But it’s the setting and sights at Cortijo el Mirador that steal the show, they are enough to lure and keep you outdoors for the duration.

Of course, one look at the estate’s traditional architecture, antique fireplaces, whitewashed walls and even whiter linens, and you’ll be just as happy indoors during cooler months. Add in full service, daily housecleaning, turndown service, and a private Michelin-standard chef to cook breakfast and one other meal a day and you’ll soon see how tempting it would be to stay forever. The Cortijo stands for pure escapism, a country estate miles from the nearest village, and farther still from the cares of the world.

For larger groups and extended families, Cortijo el Mirador shares its 10-acre estate with sister property, The Mirador Lodge, which can accommodate an additional 6 guests. The two homes are close enough to combine for group use, but completely independent, private and separated by mature gardens.

Outside Cortijo el Mirador

From its picturesque hilltop perch, Cortijo el Mirador slopes down on three sides to reveal the natural wonders of Malaga and Andalusia. Almond and olive groves, and an onsite vineyard unfold at your feet, a suggestive invitation of the epicurean delights that await.

Three mountain ranges converge around the villa, where the vista hops over verdant peaks and opens onto the magnificent Mediterranean, its sapphire fingers reaching south to caress Morocco’s golden coast.

The courtyard opens onto stairs that lead out onto your private terrace, where you’ll find seating for 10. Wind down the steps to the lap pool, where a built-in barbecue, lounge chairs, marble dining table and water garden all enjoy The Cortijo’s famed ‘top-of-the-world’ views. The poolside garden and its equally inviting spa cabana are ideal choices for wellness and beauty treatments with a view.

You’ll enjoy exploring The Cortijo’s 10 acres, which it shares with sister rental The Mirador Lodge. From the main road, panoramic Mediterranean Sea vistas are both inspiring and spectacular. There are old ruins to explore, paths to walk, and landscaped gardens of herbs, vegetables, lavender and agaves, aloes and pines.

Bespoke Service, With A Five-Star Upgrade

Let us treat you to traditional Spanish hospitality with a luxury twist, from 24-hour concierge service to inclusive gourmet meals, prepared in your cortijo-away-from-home

Service at Cortijo el Mirador

At Cortijo el Mirador our visitors are honoured friends and guests. It is a delight to welcome you in the tradition of Spanish hospitality with the highest US-European standards from your hosts. We endeavour to redefine the meaning of bespoke luxury, combining the intimate setting of a private estate with the refined amenities you’d expect from a five-star hotel. The result: our fully hosted service, standard with every rental.

The impetus behind our service is to deliver a getaway of absolute ease, a holiday where everything is arranged for you, to your preference. Among these services, you will enjoy local 24-hour concierge service, airport meet and greet with escort to the estate, complementary luxury bath products, an pre-loaded iPad for your use while at the estate, and daily maid servicing including nightly turndown and daily pool preparations.

While all our services offer superior quality and hospitality, The Cortijo’s approach to gastronomy truly differentiates the offering. Before your arrival (and throughout your stay), we’ll coordinate food shopping and delivery, at actual cost; you’ll never have to leave the villa to stock the kitchen. Upon arrival, we’ll greet you with welcome tapas and a wine tasting, just a sampling of the epicurean pleasures to come.

What takes our included services from gold to platinum is the Michelin-rated personal chef, on call each day to prepare breakfast and one other meal of your choice, prepared, served, cleared and cleaned. (Cost of food to be settled onsite, at cost.)

If desired, you may also choose to hire your chef to prepare additional in-house feasts, or to escort you on culinary adventures throughout Malaga and Andalusia. In a region known as much for its culinary traditions as its sunshine, the chef is happy to arrange bespoke tours for our resident foodies.

Among his recommended activities, you can enjoy a tour of Malaga’s centuries-old food markets, traditional bodega (winery) tours, tapas tours, olive oil tastings and tours, wine tastings and tours, and Andalusian cooking courses, helping you to really discover the heart and soul of rural Andalucia. Depending on the season of your visit, you may even be able to participate in the olive or Moscatel grape harvest from The Cortijo’s own estate.

Living

The Cortijo is all on one level, with the main living room with large open fire occupying the east of the house with the guest bedrooms, while the drawing room, library, and choice of all-year-round terraces lay to the west. The four different living spaces mean that two families could share this villa quite happily, with plenty of room to retire after dinner.

Eating

The indoor kitchen is located in the original central part of the villa, with a cottage-style dining kitchen leading through to a modern cook’s kitchen where your private chef will work his magic. Both sections are fitted with top of the range appliances, and the roaring open fire is welcoming in winter. In summer you can dine outdoors on the shaded terrace with seating for 8.

There is a further outdoor summer kitchen and dining area by the poolside, which has a wood fired grill for summertime dining. For small weddings we can lay out celebration tables on the pool terrace.

Contact us to discuss the options according to the themes that most interest you; options include the Duende and Flamenco Experience, Spanish Gourmet Experience, or Spanish Art Experience.

We are happy to welcome you with a light selection of typical produce of Andalucia, compliments of the house. A more complete villa pre-stocking service is also available free of charge at this property, and it would be our pleasure to recommend a selection of Spanish wines for you to enjoy during your stay (food and wine cost settled locally). The house staff will then take care of your initial grocery shopping before you arrive so you can get straight on with the job of relaxing.

You will have a top chef on hand during your stay. He will be along to prepare your breakfast and one other meal each day, with the cost of food settled locally. We can also offer a poolside waiter service on request, and if you would like to know more about our gourmet menu, tasting menu or wine-pairing with your meal then please ask us for rates.
Getting Around
We do recommend hiring cars for your stay at this villa, but you will be met on arrival at the airport and escorted to the property.

The villa concierge and chef offer a range of local trips, excursions and visits to get the most out of your stay. Ideas include visiting the local vineyards and olive farm, hiking in the mountains, or a Spanish food experience.

For cultural city visits we offer private bespoke tours to the cities of Andalucia for up to 8 passengers with our Mercedes air conditioned vehicles, and would highly recommend Granada and the Alhambra, or the Malaga Art and Tapas tour. Get in touch at any time to learn more!

Feedback

Cortijo el Mirador is an absolute dream come true for spending time with loved ones. Its hard to imagine a more beautiful setting, and just when you think its going to be all rustic and wobbly, the owners astound you with top of the range technology and some of the best food and wine in Malaga!

The property works equally well for a small family or group of friends, as its does for a very special destination wedding when coupled with its sister property, the utterly stylish Mirador Lodge.

The only downside is you’ll want the honeymoon to last forever!
