The Miraflores Golf Development is a large unrbanistion situated near Riviera de Sol, around halfway between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain. The development sits right on the beach and is popular with locals, expats and tourists alike due to the sunny climate and the numerous swimming pools (there are over 20 swimming pools in the Miraflores development).

Miraflores Swimming Pool

The Miraflores project began development in 1981 by developer Ole Sigurdsson at a time when the Costa del Sol was becoming popular with British, Irish and other Northern European tourists but had not yet reached the dizzying heights of popularity enjoyed today.

The Miraflores resort boasts a very impressive array of facilities for residents and holidaymakers alike, including an 18-hole golf course, 3 restaurants, a Bowls Club, tennis, business facilities, social clubs and much more. It is precisely for these reasons that Miraflores has enjoyed huge success during almost 30 years in Andalucia.

Apart from the townhouses and apartments for rent in Miraflores, the development takes pride in the amazing gardens and shrubbery that coat the resort from start to finish, with some of the best gardeners on the Costa del Sol working on these luscious and cleverly-concepted living spaces.

Miraflores Gardens

As the name suggests (Miraflores is a combination of 2 Spanish words, 'Mira' and 'Flores', or 'Look at the Flowers'), the urbanisation does not disappoint with an impressive and beautiful display of exotic and fragrant flowers and shrubs that competes, and in some cases surpasses, with some of the finest developments in Spain and across Europe. The fifteen different garden-style sub-communities within Miraflores are each unique to each other.
