One of my favourite spots for a foreign holiday is the wonderful relaxing apartments at Casares on the Costa Del Sol, in sunny Spain. Being only 25 minutes from Gibraltar International Airport makes the resort idyllic for short breaks as well as enjoying longer holidays. You can, should you wish, manage without hiring a car whilst in Casares since there is a good, reliable, local taxi service and a bus stop not too far away at the bottom of the coastal road. Casares Del Sol is also easily reached for new arrivals from Malaga Airport, 60 minutes drive away via either the coastal or the faster toll road. We frequently use both airports based on the cheapest flights we can find on the internet at the time of booking.
Casares Del Sol resort is based around small intimate communities of apartments each having its own unique features on offer. Each community is run by a small community committee. At the centre of each community are communal gardens. Taking centre stage of each community is a swimming pool complete with the provision of bed chairs and umbrellas. Our own block has a large main pool as well as a splash pool for the little ones. The pools are surrounded with palm trees and other tropical trees. The owners have considered further developments for holidaymakers and now we have planned for our community for 2009 is a table tennis table, a small putting green, and possibly a boule court!
Casares Del Sol has a great location tucked away from the main coastal road. Casares Del Sol is but 1 minute drive from the Mediterranean Sea at the bottom of the hill. If you wish to be energentic and walk to the beach it is a no more than a mere 12-15 minute gentle stroll. There is a taxi rank at the bottom operational from about 10am until midnight if you don’t fancy walking back uphill and prefer to take the easy route back.
The majority of Casares villas have either sea, mountain or golf course views, or indeed a combination of views. At the beach you will find that there aretwo beach bars, the ‘Chiringuito Beach Bar’ which benefits from its superb location right on the beach and a little further up the beach towards Marbella, ‘La Perla’ The Chiringuito is a lovelly traditional beach bar frequented by locals as well as holidaymakers, whilst the new ‘La Perla’ has a more cosmopolitan style that is complete with sails to provide shade, coconut matting and decking. Both bars serve excellent fresh local cuisine. For a real treat you can have traditional paella sat on the beach!
Casaes Del Sol is lucky enough to be situated in a greenbelt of golf courses thus ensuring that you are not spending your holiday surrounded by buildings. Right next door is the new mecca for golfers Finca Cortesin, which replaces from 2009 Valderrama Golf Course for the Volvo Masters Golf Tournament. Right across the road to the apartments is Casares Golf. Casares Golf is a 9 hole par 3 and 4 course with a fantastic golf club. It is open to non members who just wish to use its bar and restaurant facilities with fantastic views over the course to the Meditterrean.
There are a good selection of Spanish bars and restaurants to choose from on the nearby beaches of Sabilinas, 5minutes by car. Why not visit Marbella, Puerto Banus or Gibraltar for the day if you want to venture slightly further afield? All are easily reached.
So if you would like to enjoy a nice relaxing holiday, either as a couple or as a family stay at Casares Del Sol on the Costa Del Sol!
