Cloud House is a secluded mountain yurt hideaway located deep in the hills of the Rio Genal Valley, close to the Andalucian white washed village of Genalguacil & set against the spectacular backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja Mountain range. Set within 17 acres of mountainous oak forest, this hand-crafted Mongolian yurt is set cocooned amongst the trees, the perfect retreat complete with its own access.
Cleverly positioned on a secluded terrace amongst a few acres of private Mediterranean forest, the yurt has its own rustic outdoor kitchen and shower room, eco toilet, wooden decked platforms, shaded pergolas and seating areas. Take in the mountain views while sunning yourself on the decking, or retreat to one of the hammocks perfectly situated under leafy trees for those lazy afternoons.
Cloud House Farm is ideally positioned to access the local villages of Genalguacil and Benarraba (20mins drive), the historic town of Ronda (1hr drive), the golden beaches of Estepona (1hr 15mins) and the spectacular city of Seville (2.5 hours). Cloud House Farm borders the Rio Almarchal, a fresh water mountain stream that can be reached within a short 20min walk. It boasts striking river pools that can be enjoyed in total privacy. A 25 min walk in the opposite direction will bring you to the more popular and larger Rio Genal. It’s possible to walk the river in the summer as there are many pools hidden from view. A 20min drive from Cloud House Farm will bring you to Venta San Juan, also on the Rio Genal this is a local favourite, the river pools here are truly spectacular and deep enough for cliff jumping. If river pools aren't your thing, the local villages of Genalguacil and Benarraba have beautiful open air swimming pools with poolside bars and restaurants.
Getting There:
Located at the end of a quiet 2km bumpy dirt track the farm remains within easy reach from Malaga airport, a 2.5 hour drive, along the south coast and then up into the depths of the Sierra Bermeja Mountain range.
