Villa for sale in Granada city, Granada

A remarkable private family home with a previous history as an exceptional business with five-star guest ratings. Previously operated as a successful retreat, wedding and holiday rental venue, Cortijo Las Salinas retains its tourist licences, yoga pavilion, 12m pool, outdoor kitchen and many furnishings - ready for the next owner to live in, reactivate commercially, or both.

With 14 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the estate has been carefully arranged to operate as a successful yoga and creative retreat while retaining the warmth and character of a substantial family home. Architectural highlights include a striking clock tower, an elegant bell tower entrance and arched colonnades framing the impressive central courtyard. Landscaped gardens, a 12m x 6m swimming pool, dedicated yoga and dance pavilion, outdoor kitchen, chiringuito bar and several chill-out areas combine to create the atmosphere of a private countryside resort.

The owners’ accommodation is positioned above the pool and adjacent to the outdoor bar, offering privacy with convenient access to leisure spaces. A shaded terrace overlooks the pool and surrounding countryside and leads into a spacious open-plan living and kitchen area with wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. The fully fitted kitchen features a central island separating the cooking and living areas.

This level also includes a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and access to terrace gardens, along with a family bathroom and a dedicated office. On the lower level, two additional double bedrooms with exposed wooden beam ceilings open directly onto the central courtyard. One benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while a separate shower room serves the floor. With independent access, this level can form part of the main residence or operate as separate guest accommodation. Underfloor heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort throughout.

The central courtyard forms the heart of the estate, accessed through antique oak doors and a bell arch with bronze bell. Covered arcades surround the courtyard, framing a three-tier marble fountain at its centre. Library corners, leather seating and large dining tables create an inviting setting for gatherings, reflection and communal meals.

Guest accommodation is arranged around the courtyard. Villa Romana offers three bedrooms, a lounge with wood-burning stove, fitted kitchen, massage room, meditation or yoga space and a private terrace overlooking the courtyard and countryside. The Miro, Dali and Goya suites are located above the communal lounge and art gallery, each providing double bedrooms, private bathrooms and terrace access. Casa Blanca comprises four double bedrooms, a lounge with breakfast kitchen and access to a spacious covered terrace, ideal for larger groups or extended stays.

The communal lounge on the ground floor opens through a covered arch onto the courtyard and connects to a large open-plan kitchen and dining space with fireplace and central island. The adjoining art gallery and studio, positioned beside the main entrance, is a bright open-plan area ideal for workshops and exhibitions.

The landscaped grounds include a sculpture garden, shaded seating areas and a blue glass-tiled swimming pool with shallow section and waterfall. A bamboo gazebo and covered seating provide space for relaxation, while a seven-person jacuzzi enjoys elevated views across the valley. The outdoor bar and chiringuito feature covered dining, commercial-style kitchen, wood-fired oven and integrated sound system.
