Welcome to Villa Andalucia - Your Sustainable Getaway

At Villa Andalucia, we are committed to promoting sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. Our efforts aim to not only reduce our carbon footprint but also to provide our guests with a comfortable and eco-friendly stay. Here are some of the steps we take towards sustainability:

Pool Closure Nov '23 - March '24

Due to the ongoing severity of the drought we’re experiencing in Andalucia and especially here in the Axarquía region, I have decided to cover the pool up for the rest of the winter months to stop any more water from evaporating. Despite it being a beautiful feature in the Villa Andalucia garden it’s important that we all do our part to conserve as much water as we can and hopefully by closing it over these months when very few are brave enough to get in it, we will have enough water to enjoy it and cool off in summer 2024! 

Thank you for your understanding.

Electric Car Charging Point

We understand that transportation is one of the leading causes of carbon emissions. That's why we have an electric car charging point on our premises, making it easy and convenient for our guests to power up during their stay.

Solar Panels

We are proud to use solar panels to generate both electricity and hot water, reducing our carbon footprint and conserving precious resources. In case of dull weather, we have a backup to gas and electric, ensuring a sustainable power supply.

The environment is in crisis. Our planet is warming up and we are all experiencing hotter temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events. We are at a crossroads. We can either continue as we are and risk creating an uninhabitable planet for future generations or we can take action. 

Join us at Villa Andalucia and enjoy a relaxing stay while making a positive impact on the planet.
