About the villa
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Ronda mountains, El Olivar is the definition of contemporary country living. Enveloped by over 60,000m2 of organic olive groves and mature Mediterranean gardens, this architect-designed sanctuary offers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining just a short drive from the historic soul of Ronda.
The villa’s design celebrates the light and landscape of Andalucia. Inside, the vast open-plan living space is defined by soaring ceilings, eclectic artwork, and full-length glass doors that dissolve the boundary between the interior and the sun-drenched patios. Whether you are retreating to a quiet library nook with a book or hosting a movie night with the cinema projector, the house has a relaxed, easygoing feel that makes everyone feel right at home.
Outside, spend slow mornings on the dedicated yoga terrace amidst the scent of lavender, or enjoy a competitive afternoon on the private boules court. The saltwater infinity pool serves as the property’s crown jewel, spilling directly into the verdant valley below. As evening falls, the firepit becomes the ultimate gathering spot for stargazing with a glass of local Serranía de Ronda wine.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged for multi-generational groups or friends seeking independence. The main house hosts three elegant bedrooms, including a spectacular master suite on the first floor with a private terrace. For those desiring extra privacy, a chic self-contained annex offers its own kitchenette and seating area. While the cave houses of Setenil and the vibrant tapas bars of Arriate are within easy reach, the peaceful allure of El Olivar’s fruit-filled gardens often proves impossible to leave.
