About this property

Nerja Paradise Rentals - Villa Catalina

Need an extra-large villa, coupled with the best location in town and just a short walk to the best beach in the area? Well here it is - welcome to Villa Catalina!



Located in the prestigious Parador neighbourhood in the beautiful Andalucian town of Nerja, it is the jewel in the crown of our recently built villas – a beautiful row of four villas (Valeria, Suero, Bonilla and Catalina) all just a seven minute walk to Nerja’s famous Burriana Beach and only 1km to Balcon de Europa.



Offering an impressive seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and 2 ensuites, this is the perfect place for groups of couples/friends or numerous families to enjoy.

As you come inside the villa you will see a big stairs which take you up to 5 bedrooms, 2 of which are double bedrooms which have ensuite bathrooms, the other 3 singles bedrooms with two beds each share 2 complete bathrooms.

The two double bedrooms with king size bed share a big terrace with views to the big pool area and to the neighbourhood.

On the ground floor you will find on the right to the main door a double bedroom, a complete bathroom and a living room which opens up to the pool area.

From the main door to your left you will find the kitchen with a big table which seats 14 guests and another exit to the pool area. The kitchen offers all amenities (oven, microwave, etc) everything you may need; perfect for trying your hand at some Spanish tortilla! It is finished to a fantastic standard, offering that lovely new build feel.

The villa has a small private parking space at the entrance to the villa which fits one car.



Taking centre stage outdoors is the impressive 10m pool (10m x 3m, Depth: 1.4m, Ladder Access, Poolside Shower) which will keep you entertained for hours on end. The outside also offers 14 loungers to soak up the glorious sun as well as comfortable seating in the semi-covered terrace with a sofa for those wanting to enjoy the shade. There is also an inviting dining area which seats again all 14 guests together; perfect for enjoying some alfresco dining whenever the mood takes you, using the villa’s portable barbecue on offer.



Free WIFI throughout and integrated aircon in all rooms of the villa. The villa also offers underfloor heating.



This really is a fantastic property with a location that is second to none. With many shops nearby including pharmacy, fish shop, butcher shop and bread shop.

Getting around Nerja is an absolute must whilst staying in Villa Catalina. You have Burriana Beach just on your doorstep where you have an array of local restaurants to choose from and try. You have Nerja centre just a short walk away where you can find many a side street café, perfect for sitting down after a day of shopping and watching the world go by.



All rentals include bed linen and towels which are changed weekly for stays over 10 nights. End of stay cleaning is also included. We have a range of optional services available at an additional cost and subject to availability - including welcome food packs, cots, highchairs, beach towels, additional housekeeping, taxi transfers and pets (on request)...



Nerja Paradise Rentals is a family run business operating privately owned properties in and around Nerja. We pride ourselves on the quality and comfort of our rental properties – our aim is to provide you a real home-from-home here in arguably the most beautiful spot on the Costa del Sol.



Nerja really does offer something for everyone – whether wandering around the typically Spanish streets of whitewashed houses and the famous Balcón de Europa, shopping in the lively commercial area, enjoying the many water sports available at one of our amazing beaches, hiking in the incredible Sierra Almijara or making the most of free tapas still served with drinks in most bars – you’ll never be bored!



The local caves – Cueva de Nerja – and the neighbouring hillside “Pueblo Blanco”, Frigiliana, are incredible must-sees during your stay. Further afield but within easy reach there are waterparks, aquariums, zoos, golf courses, the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain range with fabulous skiing over the winter months and the beautiful Andalusian cities of Málaga, Seville, Cordoba and Granada. Nerja has a great network of public transport – or you can hire a car to discover the area at your own pace.

Excellent facilities and perfect location

Hard to fault this incredible villa - spacious rooms, lovely pool, brilliant location. I organise a group holiday for 13 people in Villa Catalina and also Villa Almasorra. We loved every minute and will definitely be back. Some dishwasher tablets (eg. one per day) and laundry tablets would have been extremely helpful as it’s a waste to buy a huge box of each.

Amazing Villa

The space ,the pool were fantastic. There was everything that was needed for the family of 12 that spanned 3 generations. Shops and restaurants all so close, you were spoilt for choice. Everybody had a fantastic time. The choice for extra pillows on the bed would have been appreciated.

Perfect for girls weekend

We recently stayed at Villa Catalina to celebrate my 60th birthday. 14 girls & there was plenty of space for everyone. No queues for bathroom's as there was plenty. Great size kitchen & outdoor space. Rooms were of good size & comfy beds. I Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cutlery, pots, pans & glasses. They even put a few decorations up for my birthday which was a nice touch. The stairs came in handy for group photos. If I visited Nerja again I would certainly look at a property with Nerja Paradise rentals Nothing, it was perfect!

Gem of a villa

The location of the villa is ideal, walking distance to Burriana Beach, and to the old town. There's cafes and small supermarkets nearby. The villa itself was very well equipped with everything one would need for a holiday. The rooms were generous in size and the bathrooms all modern. The beds were very comfortable. We would highly recommend!

Fantastic week with family

14 family members stayed here for the 2nd year in a row. Well equipped for a big group. The villa is short of nothing! Perfect location, 5-10 minute walk to either Burriana or Balcon areas, thats what really draws us back there. Lots of supermarkets nearby to stock up. Lots of outdoor area. The office were extremely responsive with any questions we had. Honestly, not much. Maybe a bigger BBQ as it took a while to cook for 14 but we made use of the oven. Thats really trying to think of something!

Great villa

More villa keys would be good when you have a large family going out at different times. More full length mirrors in the rooms.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May, 2024
Thanks for your sincere review, sometimes large families take advantage of the entrance key box to be able to leve the keys inside and share them by simply using the provided code found in the arrival instructions. Thank you for the feedback regarding the full lenght mirrors, we will consider it for future guests. Kind regards, Nerja Paradise Rentals

Family of 12 stay at Villa Catalina

Villa Catalina was great for our group of 12. The location is brilliant. Plenty of bathrooms for a large group of people and never an issue with hot water, which I was surprised about. The pool was lovely and there is loads of outside space. I stayed in the master bedroom and the bed wasn’t very comfortable and there was no extra pillows or blankets, so there wasn’t much we could do to try make it more comfortable. The air conditioning in some of the rooms in the villa doesn’t work well. The information book provided stated that the air conditioning controls in the master bedroom controlled the air conditioning in all the upstairs bedrooms but yet a couple of the bedrooms were boiling hot and no matter how many adjustments were made to the controls in the master bedroom, there was no improvement in the other bedrooms. And again, the controls in the living room apparently controlled the temperature in the downstairs bedrooms, but no matter how many adjustments were made, guests in those rooms needed extra blankets because the bedrooms were so cold.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jul, 2026
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your review of Villa Catalina. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the villa, its location, the pool and the large outdoor spaces. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. As we mention in our welcome letter, our team is always here to help if there is anything we can do to improve your stay. We would have been very happy to provide you with extra pillowsblankets if you had let us know. During the summer months, we remove the heavier blankets from the bedrooms, but we always leave the bed covers available for guests. Regarding the air conditioning, unfortunately, with the recent heatwave, our technician has informed us that part of the air conditioning system had lost gas, which was the reason why it was not working correctly. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused during your stay. Thank you again for your feedback. We really appreciate it, as it helps us to continue improving our services and the experience we offer our guests. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Villa Catalina,to one of our other villas, on another occasion. 😊 Warm regards

GREAT STAY

Exceptional Customer Service. Flexibility and friendliness of staff to meet our needs i.e. early check in requirements, efficiency of service in repairing/replacing items. Cleanliness of villa was of a very high standard. Little touches such as christmas greetings card, bottle of wine. All made for a most enjoyable stay. This is my second booking with Nerja Paradise Rentals and I would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend their properties. Thanks guys for a fabulous stay.

Villa Catalina Nerja

The location of the villa is great, within a short walk to some bars and restaurants and about 20 mins walk from Balcon De Europa. The villa itself is clean and tidy, the outside area is also much bigger than it appears in pictures. The kitchen is large and there is indoor and outdoor seating enough for max occupancy of guests. We really enjoyed our stay. For an accommodation that sleeps 16 people we felt that having one parasol was insufficient. I also made contact in relation to toilet seats being either loose or unattached, this was done via WhatsApp and I was told that someone would come and fix them, no one did. The wooden table outside isn’t fit for purpose and is almost falling apart. The car parking was problematic, we had to have 2 cars and it is likely that people booking the villa would do the same or have a mini van, the parking space is unbelievably tight to negotiate and wouldn’t permit a large vehicle. This should be noted on Solmar site,
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug, 2026
Thank you very much for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the villa, its spacious outdoor areas and the fantastic location. We would just like to clarify for future guests that the villa accommodates a **maximum of 14 guests**, rather than 16. Regarding the toilet seats, as your reservation was made through the tour operator Solmar, they replied to your message, but unfortunately, we were never informed about this issue. Had we known about it, we would have sent someone to the villa immediately to take care of it. We are very sorry that this was not resolved during your stay. With regard to the parasol, the villa has a covered porch providing shaded outdoor space. However, had you contacted us directly to request an additional parasol, we would have been more than happy to provide one. This is precisely why we leave a welcome letter at the villa letting our guests know that we are always available should they need anything during their stay. Regarding parking, the villa has a private parking space for one car. The great advantage of the villa's central location is that a car is not really necessary to enjoy Nerja. For guests arriving with an additional vehicle, there is also free street parking available in the surrounding area. Thank you again for your feedback. We always appreciate our guests' comments as they help us continue improving our service, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Nerja in the future!

Fantastic family accommodation

Fantastic space for 14 people to comfortably holiday together. Perfect location, sea views from top terrace, plenty of outdoor space. Fully equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms. We had an issue with the hot water but after a call to the office, there was someone arriving within 30 minutes to rectify! We were able to leave our luggage before and after check in. Cons (very minor) Check in was a little complex as there seemed to be a glitch on the website but after a call to the office for advice, it was sorted. There needs to be more space for clothes drying. Perhaps a retractable washing line or at least one additional airer.

Excellent villa and great location

We had a wonderful holiday in the Villa Catalina in March 2022. The Villa was spacious, well appointed and extremely clean. Great location, just a short walk to the restaurants & shops. Under floor heating worked a treat on the chilly days. The outside area was large and there were plenty of chairs and loungers for everyone. An excellent villa for a large group. There weren't any real negatives, although it would be useful if the 4 keys had coloured tops/caps to distinguish them to avoid the trial and error each time we returned to the villa, and the glasses and mugs were in a difficult to reach cupboard, Victoria and Aaron at Nerja Paradise Rentals were extremely helpful and responsive to questions and requests before we arrived, and supportive when we had questions during the stay. Would definitely return and would definitely go rent through Nerja Paradise Rentals again.
Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2022
