Four stylish Andalusian retreats surrounded by olive groves and almond trees, and a restaurant for wonderful, seasonal food

Read guest comments

A mere 15 miles from Málaga, Sierra de Camarolos unfolds behind an unadulterated scene of olive groves and almond trees; the peace is incredible. A giant cork oak marks your entry onto the walled patio and a covered walkway leads you to your own casita, bordered by wildflowers and trim cacti. These four casitas - Indian, Sultan, Oriental, Arizona - have been conceived with zen-like lines.

Slippers and robes are provided, and there's even a mini cinema room and honesty bar exclusively for guests in the Oriental suite. The fridge is packed full of goodies from Manchego cheese to strawberries, while hot croissants and fresh bread are delivered to your door each morning. There's a yoga pavilion, gym and meditation space, a unique sunken bathhouse where you can have a Dead Sea salt soak, massage or treatment.

Their harvests produce organic olive oil, botanicals, almonds, soap and spa products. The food is simply fabulous too.

The Owners:

  • Walk straight from the hotel along the many trails that lead across the hills and down to the river. Stroll through the olive & almond groves, explore the meandering valley amongst the citrus orchards and on to the village shaded by the eucalyptus trees.
  • Wander up to Fountainhead's award-winning restaurant and relax with a cocktail overlooking the sunset view. You’ll find a cozy lounge bar with log fires burning in winter and throughout the summer months, you can enjoy candlelit, alfresco dining.
  • Go for a drive along quiet roads, explore the region’s famous white villages, whether a dramatic route north into the mountains or a gentle descent south down to the sea there are plenty of places to stop for tapas and to enjoy the stunning scenery.
  • Some of Andalucía’s top cultural sites are within a short drive: Malaga with its scenic bay, Cathedral and museums, the spectacular El Torcal Nature Reserve, the Montes de Malaga National Park, Cordoba’s famous Mesquita and the Alhambra Palace at Granada.
  • The Fountainhead Estate is immersed in the heart of a rural farming community with abundant flora and fauna. Expect green hills and wildflowers February to May, muted pastel shades in summer and the harvesting of almonds and olives during autumn - winter.
  • Sole use - have the place all to yourselves, bring your family and friends to celebrate that special event. We can fit in up to 12 people with additional beds, enjoy all-inclusive meals, buffet breakfasts and fine dining in the Restaurant.

"This is a find! So much so that I'm almost reluctant to review it! Fabulous covers it nicely! From the peace & quiet to the spa treatments it amazing. Food in a league of its own coupled with the host Peter's knowledge of Spanish wine! We will return"

"If you're looking for some peace and quiet, you couldn't hope for a more beautiful place to find it. We spent a week there and ate in every night because the food was wonderful. Peter is an excellent host and Helen a fantastic chef who tailored the menu to our tastes as she got to know us. Lovely views, with comfortable accommodation. Be prepared for a bumpy ride up there, but once you're there, it's completely worth it. Helpful info about local area too. Bliss!"
