Set on a 25-acre olive grove with easy access to Caminito del Rey
Within walking distance of the whitewashed village of Alora
Peaceful location with stunning views across the Guadalhorce valley

What an appropriately named place this is. Near the small Málaga town of Alora, Hidden Valley Andalucia is a secluded and private site overlooking the gorge Guadalhorce valley between the Costa del Sol and the Andalucian countryside – if you want a break with sunny climes, luxury glamping and maybe to tackle the hair-raising Caminito del Rey, come and hide here. Run by Red and Jayne, Hidden Valley Andalucia is in a 25-acre olive grove about 20 minutes' walk from the small friendly bars, restaurants and outdoor pool of Alora, and with easy access to the Caminito del Rey. Arriving from outside Spain, it's about 45 minutes by car or train from Málaga airport with cheap flights are available all year – perhaps it's time to have a word with the boss about setting up an Andalucian office... For eats, a continental breakfast of fresh bread, meats and cheese, jam and honey with freshly brewed tea and coffee is included in your glamping rate, and for dinner, Red's 35+ years' experience as a chef is pretty certain to net you an evening meal on the scenic terrace that might make you want to hide here for longer. Menus change daily but can meet most dietary requirements. Alora and its surrounds are a wildlife haven and a walkers' paradise with lots of nature to spot and pics to take; hire a bike from the Hidden Valley team and take off for the day with an enormous picnic. You might find you want to hide here for longer after doing that too.

Local attractions

Did you know that Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe? (After Switzerland, natch.) So it's a bit of a given that there are hundreds of kilometres' worth of walks, climbs, cycles and mountain bike rides all around this Andalucian region, including a toppingly scenic hike to the top of El Hacho starting just outside the site. This is horse riding terrain too and plenty of visitors to the area make hacking the main focus of their hol. Several professionally run stables nearby can sort you out if this is your case, or if you want to have a day's trekking or a few lessons. And then there's the Caminito del Rey, called the most dangerous walkway in the world as it's over 100 metres high but only a metre wide: if you're feeling hardy enough... The Hidden Valley team can also arrange a guided day trip to the ruins of Bobastro through the pine forests of El Chorro.
