Overview
Casa Gigantes is an incredible luxury stay in the urbanisation of Punta de la Mona, Costa Tropical. The cliffside home stands tall above the bay and boasts incredible views and private amenities.
There are seven bedrooms in this property, and it can sleep up to 14 guests. Four of the bedrooms are on the same level as the swimming pool, with Three more upstairs on the ground floor. The main bedroom boasts both a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, perfect for a little extra privacy. The other bedrooms can be either twin beds or doubles, depending on your group's desired sleeping arrangements.
The bathrooms are incredibly sleek, with the cool-toned colour schemes encouraging a refreshing start to each day. Casa Gigantes has a total of 8 bathrooms, one for each bedroom and a guest toilet, meaning there won't be queues in the mornings. It shan't be long before you're out in Punta de la Mona and enjoying all that the area has to offer
The living area is perfect for socialising, with large comfy sofas and armchairs arranged around a real fireplace, in the perfect layout to encourage conversation or enjoying the large television in the corner. The area is perfectly lit by large French doors that line the walls, with the natural lighting complimenting the area well. Outside these doors, you will find an outdoor seating area, perfect for moving socialisation closer to the sea breeze from below.
The kitchen in the home looks straight out of a magazine, with sleek stainless-steel appliances fitted to perfectly match the cool black and white colour scheme of the furnishing. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals, and you'll feel like a professional chef when you're doing it. What's more, Casa Gigantes also has an included outdoor kitchen area which features a grill perfect for cooking up fresh fish and vegetables and two large dining tables for dining al-fresco.
One of Casa Gigantes' most incredible features is its outside private amenities, available right on the property. Stepping out of the house into the perfectly manicured garden, guests will see the glistening private pool. The cool water is inviting enough on its own, but the experience is topped off as it overlooks the incredible bay below. To the side of the property, you will find another gem: a private jacuzzi. This is a rare treat and a true luxury; imagine laughing with friends as you enjoy the bubbles with champagne and look out over the cliffside. The luxury continues as Casa Gigantes also has a sauna for your personal use. The sauna is right on the edge of the property, with a glass wall allowing you to take in the breathtaking view as you let your muscles completely relax.
Should you wish to leave the luxury of the villa, Casa Gigantes is only 1km from La Herradura beach and has an abundance of bars, restaurants, and shops.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa GigantesCosta Tropical, in the south of Spain, is truly a tropical delight and a wonderful destination for holidaymakers. Residing on the coast of Spain, the weather is perfect for a summer getaway or any trip where you wish to feel the sun on your skin.
Casa Gigantes is perched tall on the cliffside, providing unobstructed and breathtakingly beautiful views of the bay. La Herradura, the local seaside town, has absolutely everything you need to accent your stay and make it simply wonderful. It has been called the most picturesque of Costa Tropical's seaside villages, and simply looking around at the gorgeous cliffs, bay, and nature will show you exactly. The beach of la Herradura is less than 1km away from the villa, so warm sand is close at hand during your stay.
The area has an abundance of beautiful nature on offer, and as such, there are many different hiking areas and walking paths available for you to explore during your stay. One such route is along the Maro Cerro Gordo cliffs, a nature reserve home to an outstanding area of flora and fauna. Take a day to explore it, and perhaps even pack a picnic to stop and enjoy along the way as you overlook the ocean below.
The town centre, just 1.7km away, has a whole range of restaurants along its route, all offering a range of food for everyone to enjoy; tuck into local delicacies recommended by the waiters or choose something more recognisable to dig into. Enjoy wonderfully crafted cocktails that perfectly complement the sea breeze, or sip on tropical juices to cool you down from the warm sun.
History buffs, in particular, will delight in the rich history of La Herradura, as the bay was once a strategic port for both the Phoenicians and the Romans. Visit La Herradura Castle on the Western End of the town, an 18th Century monument built during Carlos III's reign. A little off the beaten path, this is just one of the area's incredible historical gems.
Head West to Marina Del Este to take part in some sailing on the calm waters of the ocean, or sign up for diving lessons and explore the depths of the ocean. If you fancy staying dry and on steady land, you can still stroll along the marina's edge and pop into one of the many waterfront restaurants and bars. Tuck into fresh fish cooked perfectly and listen to the sound of the ocean and the relaxing hum of the local area.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesCasa Gigantes is a slice of perfection that is ready to welcome groups of all sorts and that includes families with kids of all ages! Costa Tropical as a whole is a hit destination for holidaymakers too, so there is always something to do, eat and drink for everyone.
The villa is large and spacious, meaning that there is space for everyone to spread out and not feel crowded. There are seven bedrooms in total, and many of these are able to be twins or double beds. This is perfect for multiple families holidaying together or groups with kids of different ages who aren't keen on sharing! Bathrooms aren't an issue either, with one for each bedroom meaning little to no queue times in the morning.
Casa Gigantes has multiple seating areas both inside and outside its walls, in the sun or in the shade. Teenagers can have their own hang-out spot and make use of the Apple TV or connect to the included Wi-Fi and catch up with life back home. Little ones can sprawl across the seats and have a nap in their own living space, whilst adults or anyone looking for some peace still has space to do that.
Outside, kids of all ages are sure to be stunned by the beauty of the view at hand. The cool private pool will provide welcomed relief to sun-kissed skin or simply just some splashy fun for all. There is a sharp drop on the edge of the property due to its cliff-edge location, so small children should be supervised when outside. There is plenty of room and seating outside for kids to explore and play in the sun, from sun loungers to the various outdoor sofas across the different levels.
In the local town, kids will be pleased by the range of options available for all. Those willing to test out new and local delicacies can do so, but picky eaters have options too, and so no hungry tummy will remain empty! There are, of course, a number of supermarkets too so that snacks can be bought, and meals can be made in the villa's fully-equipped kitchen.
In the local town, there is an abundance of things to do to keep everyone busy and entertained. Teach them all some history in the town's many historical areas, including the La Herradura Castle. Stretch out restless legs by going on a hike along the coastal nature paths and spotting all the interesting flora and fauna.

Fabulous
We have just returned as a party of 11 from Casa Gigantes near Malaga. We had a fantastic time, the villa was fabulous, catering for the whole family, and the little town of La Herraduca was gently busy with plenty of beach space, restaurants and bars.
We would like to thank OT's concierge team who made the planning of the holiday both easy and pleasant,
As a large family we had numerous requests from taxi planning to food shopping for the villa, but all was arranged with the minimum of fuss.
It is a great comfort going on holiday knowing that you have been looked after and cared for.
Thanks for a great holiday.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
