This countryside hotel, located in Villanueva de la Concepción (Málaga), offers a mix of guest accommodation and private residence on a 50,000 m² plot. The property is classified as a 3-star rural hotel with a total of 13 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, divided among guest rooms, a private owner's residence, and a staff casita. The estate features amenities such as a helicopter landing pad, a heated swimming pool, and a tennis court. Situated at an elevation of 601 meters, the property provides views of the surrounding countryside and the Mediterranean Sea. The village and basic amenities like a pharmacy and supermarket are within close range.
Compared to projects in coastal areas like Fuengirola (e.g., Arosa from €490,000 or Waterfall Residences from €720,000), this project presents itself as a more deeply rooted enterprise. While coastal projects often focus on apartments for recreational use, this involves a standalone hotel business on a large plot. The investment of €1,995,000 buys not just living space here, but a running business activity and physical assets (land, facilities). Regionally, this is unique due to the combination of commercial and private living space in a rural setting, in contrast to the high density and tourist bustle of the coastal zone.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the Axarquía region, specifically in Villanueva de la Concepción. This location serves as the gateway to the Torcal de Antequera natural area. The setting is both rural and urban: the plot spans 5 hectares, yet essential services such as a pharmacy (222 m) and a supermarket (70 m) are immediately nearby. The distance to the coast is approximately 26 kilometers as the crow flies.
For entrepreneurs in the hospitality sector, this project offers the possibility to combine living and working. The layout includes a private residence with two bedrooms for the owner, separate from the hotel operations. Additionally, there is a separate staff house ('casita') on the premises. This structure facilitates continuous residence and management on-site. The presence of 13 bathrooms for 13 bedrooms indicates a one-to-one occupancy ratio per room, which is standard for hotel lodging.
The complex is in an excellent state of maintenance according to available data. There are indications of recent renovations, including the installation of a heated pool in 2025. The professional kitchen and storage areas are built to hospitality specifications, pointing to a functional design focused on operational efficiency.
Given its classification as a rural hotel, this property is not suitable for buyers seeking a traditional family home without commercial obligations. The distance to the coast (26 km) requires transport for beach visits. The 50,000 m² plot necessitates maintenance; the elevation of 601 meters implies that average temperatures are lower than at the coast, which may affect swimming seasons.
This project is relevant for investors seeking an operational hospitality business in Andalusia. The combination of a 3-star license, staff housing, and owner's residence makes it suitable for families wishing to manage operations themselves. It is also significant for buyers valuing extensive outdoor space (50,000 m²) and amenities like a tennis court and helipad. For those preferring a quiet rural environment over the busy tourist coast, this location offers an alternative while retaining logistical connections via the nearby airport.
The accommodation is equipped with air conditioning, central heating, and fireplaces to manage the climate at 601 meters elevation. The kitchen is fitted as a professional space, indicating a robust finish focused on durability and intensive use. The description mentions 'elegantly renovated' rooms, pointing to a finish meeting modern comfort standards. The pool was recently renewed in 2025, contributing to the maintenance state of the outdoor facilities.
The asking price for the entire complex (including land, hotel, private residence, and staff house) is set at €1,995,000. This is a purchase price for a business enterprise (turnkey). There are no variations in housing types or prices available, as this concerns a unique existing build project. The price includes the inventory and facilities necessary to continue hotel operations.
Living in Villanueva de la Concepción means residing in an area dominated by the karst formations of the Torcal mountain range. The environment is rural with an emphasis on nature and tranquility. The village itself possesses basic amenities, including schools and dining options, contributing to livability for permanent residents. The elevation of 601 meters ensures cooler evenings, offering a difference from the warmer coastal climate. For daily groceries, one can walk to the supermarket 70 meters away. For cultural trips or international connections, one relies on the accessibility of Málaga, approximately 28 km away as the crow flies.
The immediate surroundings offer access to the Torcal de Antequera, a protected natural area known for its rock formations and hiking trails. This provides recreational opportunities for guests focused on active holidays (hiking, nature). The village has the necessary facilities for daily life: there are two schools, a pharmacy, a dentist, and a bank within a 2 km radius. This makes it possible to inhabit the project permanently without being completely isolated.
The map shows the position of the hotel relative to the village of Villanueva de la Concepción and the nearby Torcal de Antequera natural area. Distances to Malaga and the airport are indicated in straight lines (as the crow flies).
Villanueva de la Concepción is located north of Malaga city and the coastline. The project is situated in the transition zone from the coastal plain to the Antequera mountains. Compared to coastal towns like Fuengirola or Mijas (where comparable projects like Arosa or Waterfall Residences are located), this location offers more privacy and tranquility but less direct access to beach life.
Beaches such as Playa de la Malagueta are situated at a distance of 26 kilometers as the crow flies. Malaga Airport is accessible at 28 kilometers. The nearest golf courses are located at a distance of approximately 25 to 32 kilometers (Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, Lauro Golf). A private car is practical for connecting to the coast, although the village center is within walking distance. For EV charging facilities, one must expect a distance of 9.7 kilometers.

At an elevation of 601 meters above sea level, the climate is more temperate than on the coast. Historical data show an average annual temperature of 15.6°C. Summers are warm, but evenings cool down faster than at the seaside. With 3,809 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is sunny. The outdoor swimming season is limited to approximately 4 months due to the elevation, although the heated pool can compensate for this.

Although the project is located inland, the beaches of the Costa del Sol are within a 30-minute drive. For on-site recreation, the plot features its own tennis court and swimming pool. The immediate environment is strongly focused on nature ecotourism due to the location on the edge of the Torcal mountain range. There are no public beach facilities directly nearby; for this, one must travel to Malaga city.
