Much time has been spent designing and creating a relaxing haven after dark, with LED lighting installed throughout the gardens, terraces, outdoor kitchen, chill-out lounge and swimming pool in vibrant blues, purples, and pinks, creating a stunning ambience. Our warm white lanterns add to the calming and soothing atmosphere.

The Villa - (Please scroll down for the area).

The front door leads into a small hall, where you’ll find the Samira bedroom and bathroom. You enter the spectacular spacious and luxuriously appointed lounge by taking a few steps up. As you ascend these few steps up into the lounge you will come across one of the most stunning views in Cabrera, showcased through an enormous 6 metre full-length window! With a bespoke gas fire, a large grey aniline leather corner sofa, a 43-inch Sony smart flatscreen TV with English channels, and a radio station. The home includes a BluRay player, a fast wireless mesh network, a Bose Soundlink resolver+II portable speaker, and Moroccan furniture! You'll also find air conditioning and two large hunter ceiling fans descending from the high ceiling, to help keep you cool.

The lounge naturally flows through to an arched open-plan octagonal dining room, with four sets of arched French doors leading directly out to the beautiful infinity swimming pool and terraces. The dining room focal point is a stunning octagonal bespoke American walnut table, with seating for 6 guests. All windows are UV tinted to help regulate heat and glare

From the dining area descend into the well-appointed white kitchen with German appliances. The open plan kitchen comprises of white drawer and door units (where you'll usually find plenty of pantry items) with Silestone work surfaces, a large Siemens fan oven/grill with 5 burner gas hob, an American fridge/freezer, coffee machines, etc. Lots of utensils and plenty of pool side plastic glasses. The washing machine and dishwasher are located in a small utility room through a door at the end of the kitchen. This door also leads out to the back passageway, the laundry drying area and the gas BBQ.

You'll find two bedrooms with ensuite/bathrooms in the main house. All bedrooms have individually controlled A/C units and come with "Panda London" Bamboo memory foam mattress toppers, Egyptian cotton sateen bedding, Portuguese cotton bedspreads and large thick fluffy Royal Egyptian bath towels. All bathrooms are fitted with high-end Italian and Philippe Starck by Duravit sanitary ware & Hansgrohe rain-head showers.

You can reach the Master Bedroom (The Amira) via the curved glass and tile staircase from the open-plan living space. Here you'll find a King Moroccan teak four-poster bed, matching bedside tables and a blanket box, all below a huge domed ceiling. Your own controlled air conditioning unit & large ceiling fan. This remarkable octagonal room includes picture windows and double French doors, leading you to your own private wraparound balcony. All with spectacular views of Cabrera's famous Eagle's Rock and far-reaching views to the Alpujarras and the Sierra Nevada. On the opposite side of the bedroom descend into the Master ensuite, with a large Italian sink, bidet and a walk-in rain shower.

The twin room (The Samira) is on the ground floor. With a beautifully hand-crafted Andalućian traditional tiled headboard, Moroccan bedside tables, a large mirror and white high gloss wardrobes. Your own controlled air conditioning unit and large ceiling fan. French patio doors lead you to your own private balcony with Ketter seats and again, spectacular views. Located next to The Samira bedroom, off the entrance hall, is its own separate bathroom. It has an Italian high gloss sink, a contemporary vanity unit and a bath with an overhead rain shower.

The third ensuite king room (The Layali). With separate access via the stairwell (off the secured courtyard), you'll see it is beautifully formed. Featuring a contemporary Italian ultra-modern ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower/large rain head, spacious modern sink/vanity, well-lit with a large mirror, extractor fan and LED lighting in the bathroom niches. Large sliding door for privacy in the bedroom. The bedroom has a king-size bed, a plush padded headboard and personal reading lights, wall-hung bedside tables, a wardrobe as well as a big window and louvred shutters. At the end of the bed is a picture wall with purple mood lighting to aid relaxation. A full-length glass entrance door (with privacy blind) allows you to sit up in bed and admire the breathtaking scenery! This also has its own individual air conditioning unit. Outside on the terrace, you'll find a bistro table to enjoy your morning coffee which you can make in the outside kitchen (just a stone's throw away).

With the Layali bedroom in a secure and private area of the grounds and the ground floor living area being split, with the Amira located at the top of the stairs and the Samira located at the opposite end of the ground floor, you’ll find this gives all guests total privacy between bedroom accommodation

We have plenty of private parking through our double gated entrance, that leads to a large gravel driveway. You'll find high perimater walls, giving privacy and anominity but not disturbing the private views ahead of you. There's a wide stairway that leads down to the double gated entry courtyard and access to the main villa, the outdoor kitchen, chill out lounge, the gardens, lower terraces and attached ensuite bedroom. Carry on past the entrance door and you'll find another access to our pool, alfresco dining, pool terrace, verandah and balcony.

The Area:

Situated in the gorgeous village of Cortijo Cabrera where all the homes, and the surrounding mountainside villas, are designed and styled with traditional Moorish characteristics, such as courtyards, archways, and domes, you'll find it hard not to start to unwind as soon as you arrive. From Al Qasr Villa, you can stroll a mere 350m to the Arch bar to enjoy local tapas or carry on to Riad Restaurant. (Lovely known as Fatima’s, who is the proud owner of another ‘TripAdvisor People's Choice Award)! There's plenty of other restaurants in and around the area, should you need them. You'll also find local walks, cycling challenges, tennis court, pétanque and a small library, here in the village. Due to its position, it has the most enviable and uninterrupted view of the spectacular sunsets we are blessed with here in Cabrera. The light here is phenomenal for photographers and changes constantly as do the reflections in the infinity pool.

Our local town of Turre is located very close (12 minutes drive), where you'll find two supermarkets, a local market on a Friday, pharmacy, newsagents and more restaurants etc. Carry on a further 5 minutes to Mojacar, a white-washed village. A short trip down the hill from Mojacar, you'll find it's Playa (Beaches). Please do ask for our PDF files regarding the area for more information as there's so much to do and see.

So why not escape from everyday life and indulge yourself in the sumptuous surroundings of Al Qasr. Wake up to the outstanding panoramic views, visible through the huge expanses of glass, as you meander from room to room taking in the gorgeous natural light. Walk through the abundance of arched French doors and take a few steps out onto the large and very private terrace, before immersing yourself into your own private infinity pool. Wander lazily to one of the pool loungers, kick off your shoes and allow yourself to unwind and enjoy the tranquil peace and quiet that Al Qasr provides. Enjoy lazy undisturbed meals in the cool al fresco dining area with a chilled bottle of Spanish wine, whilst whiling away the afternoon. As the dark closes in, the gardens, terraces and chill out lounge take on a different night time theme with LED mood lighting throughout. Pour yourself a sundowner while you prepare an evening feast in our newly constructed outdoor kitchen. You may even be lucky enough to see the wild boar that live below the house, especially just after sunset.

There are three airports accessible to Cabrera, offering budget flights. Almeria is the closest approximately 45 minutes, Murcia, approximately 1 hour 15 and Alicante 2 hours.

Please note: Al Qasr Villa is not suitable for children under the age of 6 years.

Relaxing holiday in beautifully situated villa

By Debbie Harrop on 04-Sep-2023

Along with my family I have just spent 10 days at the gorgeous Al Qasr Villa where we all had a fabulous time. Although the location is well situated for trips to nearby towns and beaches (a car is essential) our main focus was the villa. Located on a huge plot the property offered numerous seating areas to enjoy the glorious mountain views all offering seclusion and shade where needed. We enjoyed the space offered on the large terrace area to enjoy relaxing yoga sessions again with amazing views and there was plenty of room for the rest of the family to join in. We all made good use of the infinity pool long into the evening taking advantage of the lovely sunsets and tasteful lighting. With so many seating choices it was fun choosing an area to eat and drink every day and a certain program sprang to mind, if only there was a fire pit! The minor hitches we encountered were dealt with quickly and effectively by Jane (property manager) and the owner Lynn who was extremely helpful and informative both before and during the holiday, thank you both very much. I have focused on the outside space as that was were we spent the most time but the inside of the villa was also spectacular with quality furniture in all areas, well equipped kitchen, effective air conditioning and again fantastic views and seating areas attached to the bedrooms. I would thoroughly recommend Al Qasr for all the reasons I have mentioned above and for the peace and tranquility it offers.

Hi Debbie, Thank you all so much for taking such good care of our home and being such lovely guests. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday at Al Qasr Villa. We loved seeing some of your family snaps and I now have a date with my yoga mat and the lower terrace! You're all welcome anytime and we hope to see you again soon. x

An amazing, beautiful, tranquil place to stay.

By Clare on 12-Aug-2023

Al Qasr Villa, absolutely stunning! It’s everything it says it is and more. Tranquility and privacy are the order of the day at Al Qasr villa. Stunning mountain vistas greet you from every corner, balcony, seating area, living area and terrace. Enjoy a fruit juice and pastry on the terrace with all round views early morning. Maybe take a swim in the secluded infinity pool followed by a coffee in the Moorish-style courtyard while the water fountain burbles serenely. The pool dining area with its own ample cover to provide shade is the perfect spot for lunch. Early evening we’d have pre-dinner drinks sat overlooking the pool under shade provided by awnings. We loved the evenings watching the sun go down in the seating area that offers the perfect vantage point by the outdoor kitchen. After sundown and a BBQ in the outdoor kitchen the mood would set to chill with wine, nibbles and ambience aided by an amazing array of outdoor lighting. Whatever you do, there’s plenty to enjoy at Al Qasr villa, it’s ample and luxurious grounds offer many possibilities, soak in your surroundings and lose yourself in this corner of Torréon de Cabrera, we did and it was amazing! The villa is superbly equipped both inside and out, we didn’t want for anything. The outdoor kitchen is unique and is equally equipped as the indoor one, including a fridge and dishwasher! The quality of the furnishes, bedding and towels is second to none. Last but not least let’s mention Jane, your host in Spain who is amazing, nothing is too much trouble and she has local knowledge in an abundance to help you. Finally, Thankyou Lynn for letting us enjoy your perfect Spanish home and staying in touch at all times from booking to returning home. It really made us feel confident about our booking. The bottle of fizz on arrival was very much appreciated and enjoyed, Thankyou.

Oh Clare and family, thank you so much for your lovely words. We're so pleased you all had a wonderful time at Al Qasr Villa. We have so many things to thank you all for (besides your kinds words). Thank you all for the many fun photos you sent us and videos for our social media, along with the kind comments. But more importantly, thank you for looking after and loving our home as much as we do and being great guests! You are all welcome back anytime. xx

Fabulous time

By Tony on 07-Aug-2023

Dear Lynn, Yes, we had a fabulous time at Al Qasr! We have stayed at about 25 villas in Cabrera over the years and I can honestly say Al Qasr is the most impressive. The view is certainly the best - and the furnishings and decor are a credit to your good taste. My wife fell in love with the gold silk curtains in the lounge and we were very happy in the villa. Jane was an impeccable host and manager - and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. Full marks. The only problem was the weather. it was too good! The relentless days of blazing sunshine, and 30 degrees plus temperatures were a bit draining. We didn’t get out and about as much as we would have liked. It was the hottest holiday any of us have ever had. However, we can’t complain about no rain and wall to wall sunshine for two weeks can we?
