Al Qasr (meaning The Palace in Arabic) is truly a paradise like no other! A 180m2 split-level villa nestled beautifully on an extremely private 1500m2 southwest facing plot, surrounded by high perimeter walls and large secured solid entrance gates, with plenty of parking, offering total anonymity. It has an abundance of outside space and amazing views. Plenty of areas to either enjoy together, or to relax on your own. Sunlight streams in from mid-morning until nightfall.
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.

Moving towards the main part of the villa, you’ll find the entrance. The front door leads into a small hall, where you’ll find the Samira bedroom and bathroom.

The Area:
Situated in the gorgeous village of Cortijo Cabrera, where 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 now the proud owner of a ‘TripAdvisor People's Choice Award 2022)! You'll also find local walks, cycling challenges, tennis court, pétanque and a small library. Our local town of Turre is located very close to Mojacar, a white-washed town with blue flag beaches.
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. Although Cabrera is tucked away in the mountains, there is much to do close by. There are many walking trails in the area. Keen cyclists enjoy the personal challenges of the mountain range. There is a scuba diving school in Mojacar for the budding Jacque Cousteau. Small sailboats for hire near Garrucha. In addition, there is a water park in Vera Playa. A little further afield is the only European desert, Tabernas, where some of the world's finest olive oil is produced. It has also been used on many film sets. The Cabo de Gata-Nijar National Park with its wild & isolated landscape is approximately a 1 hour drive down the coast.
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.
