Easy to navigate site, view options and book. Confirmation and follow up communications, with information, points of contact and support are very clear and reassuring.
Looked initially on the Solmar website, and then spoke to Ange on the phone. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, and a great asset to the company.
We wanted a complete package, including flights and hire car, and Eleanor from their customer service team went out of her way to get everything just the way we wanted. Fantastic service. We've been with Solmar before and found them to be very efficient so chose them again this time.
I just booked online it was very easy and straightforward I have booked several times with Solmar villa's and have been really pleased with all my bookings I would highly recommend them
Exemplary service from the entire team. So focussed on the customer experience and ensuring that everything is perfect.
The personal service from Kristal was superb. I know I've come to expect this from Solmar, but it is always so appreciated. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Efficient, polite just needs to make small print bigger for overall a good service.
Victoria agent who I spoke with was excellent and very helpful in getting us the right location and villa.
Simple to book and immediate contact to offer further assistance with any extras such as flights ,car hire ,transfers ,etc . Concierge service to help and deal with any queries you may have with your future trip . Overall Solmar appear to be a quality company with the services offered so far . Top marks .
Managed to speak to someone quickly and they emailed information promptly and had listened to what I needed so service was good.. spoke to someone different the next day and all the information had been recorded so the conversation was easy . Biggest benefit was talking to a real person and not having to navigate lots of AI conversations /options .
The phone is answered quickly, staff are polite, helpful and knowledgeable. If you have a query they are always happy to help or sort any problems. We would definitely recommend Solmar.
This is our 6th booking with Solmar Villas. The service is amazing. We book on line and get a follow up phone call, to ask if there is anything else they can support us with. The staff are really helpful, this also includes the representative’s in resort. Would highly recommend Solmar Villas.
An infinite stretch of golden sand is what draws so many to a Costa del Sol villa holiday year after year, and the calming blue waters of the Mediterranean are the perfect backdrop. A wide selection of beach activities are available in the better-known resorts, including swimming, snorkelling and water sports.
Many beaches also hold the prestigious Blue Flag status, making them safe for young swimmers, including a nine-kilometre stretch of sand in Torremolinos and five glorious beaches in Marbella.
There's nothing like this beautiful beach, which is the epitome of tranquillity and raw natural beauty. Located near Nerja Old Town, you can appreciate the rocky terrain and crystal-clear waters while sipping your favourite cocktail.
Another calming haven away from the hustle and bustle of vibrant clubs and bars is Playa Las Viborillas. The beach is full of natural beauty, with plenty of trees that offer shade and crystal blue waters.
Nerja is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches, and this one certainly takes prime position. Plenty of activities are available, including pedalos, water sports and restaurants.
For a quieter vibe, this beach to the east of Marbella offers a more natural setting, backed by sand dunes and a protected area for those looking to escape the crowds.
No visit to Costa del Sol is complete without discovering the hidden gem of Playa de Maro, just outside Nerja. Known for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters, it’s the perfect spot for snorkelling and exploring the underwater world.
Costa del Sol's nightlife varies from lively and fast-paced to more low-key and relaxing, depending on where you set your sights in the evenings.
Enjoy a slice of luxury at one of Marbella holiday villas. You'll be close to the chic marina, where the bars come alive at night, and mega yachts glisten in the bay.
For a more traditional Spanish evening, head to one of the mountain villages such as Estepona or Benahavis. Our holiday villas in Costa del Sol are ideally located so you can explore the Spanish nightlife scene.
In recent years, Torremolinos has transformed into one of the most vibrant nightlife hubs along Malaga’s coastline, particularly celebrated for its lively LGBTQ+ scene. Once a sleepy fishing village, this charming area now effortlessly blends its laid-back beach atmosphere with an energetic nightlife. By day, you can bask on some of the Costa del Sol’s finest beaches, and by night, the town comes alive with open-air beach clubs, drawing a diverse and lively crowd, particularly in the summer months.
While often considered a favourite among British tourists, more Spaniards are now flocking to Torremolinos to soak up its electric nightlife. Here, you can enjoy the perfect blend of sun, sea, and unforgettable evenings under the stars.
Along with its glitzy neighbor Puerto Banus, Marbella has become synonymous with luxury nightlife. This is the go-to spot if you enjoy stylish evenings, with late nights and a price tag to match—expect to spend more here than at any other location in the region. Two of the most iconic venues include the famous Nikki Beach resort, which kicks off the summer season at the end of April, and the collection of bars along the renowned ‘Golden Mile’.
Make sure to pay a visit to Marbella Old Town as well. It's a picturesque area that will undoubtedly earn a spot in your favourite holiday memories. Nestled in the heart of Marbella, just a short stroll from Venus Beach, it’s the perfect place for a leisurely post-dinner walk. It's dotted with quaint cafes and bars, all housed in beautifully preserved buildings that have stood for centuries.

If you’re driving, parking can be found nearby on Avenida del Mar.
If the glitzy, high-energy vibe of Marbella isn't quite your scene, head to the quaint fishing town of Nerja. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and fresh seafood, Nerja also offers a vibrant nightlife, especially for those who enjoy live music. The town’s lively bars and pubs, many clustered around the central square known as Plaza Tutti Frutti, provide one of the best live music experiences on the Andalusian coast. For an extra dose of local culture, plan your visit around early to mid-October, when Nerja’s annual fiesta takes place.
