Are you thinking about celebrating your company event in the countryside? Costa del Sol has the places you’re looking for. Although we tend to think of Malaga as a beach destination, there are many countryside towns that are known for their beauty, the white colour that covers its houses and a unique magic. So if you want to hold your event in an original place that differs from the traditional seaside themes, here are 6 places to celebrate events in Malaga’s countryside.
Reviving the Traditional Andalusian Spirit
Hacienda Los Conejitos (Álora)
Sophistication, tradition and high-quality: the three traits of Los Conejitos in Álora. This unique space is found in the middle of the road between Álora and Malaga’s capital and offers spacious rooms equipped with everything you need for charming family or social gatherings.
Although the hacienda is known for weddings and first communions because of its family style, its children’s play area and aesthetic design, it can also host company events. Hacienda Los Conejitos is known for its detailed, local cuisine, which allows you to offer your guests the best selection of local and seasonal products.
Hacienda La Biznaga (Cártama)
Traditional haciendas are one of the greatest charms of the Malaga countryside. Generally located outside the white towns of the countryside and known for their small streets, white façades and colourful gardens, these haciendas are dreamy locations with extensive outdoor spaces and comfortable rooms.
Hacienda La Biznaga is a great option for any type of event. Its rolling gardens make it perfect for different kinds of gatherings, be it social, cultural or corporate. It also has the bonus of being located close to the Bodega Sánchez Rosado, which can serve as the perfect excuse to offer some of their wine to your guests. Its excellent connection to the capital of Malaga and other cities are two of its strongest points.

Hacienda Moreno (Alhaurín el Grande)
We’re sure you’ve heard of Alhaurín el Grande. With an unbeatable location, a beautiful stretch of white streets facing the Mijas and Guadalhorce sierras and an incredible architectural heritage (visible in the Roman columns of the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Arco Árabe, its chapels and old mills), Hacienda Moreno is incomparable. In addition to having rooms perfect for hosting celebrations, Hacienda Moreno is a purebred horse breeding centre and the selected location for typical Malaga countryside festivals, like the rice competition. It’s a fairytale-esque place that is truly unique.
Hacienda La Esperanza (Cártama)
One of the best places to celebrate events in Malaga’s countryside is Hacienda La Esperanza in Cártama. It’s perfect for those looking for the fusion between comfortable family events and the luxury of fancy spaces. This 17th century hacienda represents the genuine appearance of the white Malaga village homes, sharing the typical citric and lightweight aroma.
Belonging to the Sánchez Mancebo family, this big and comfortable country house is perfect for any kind of event. You can admire small pots with plants and Andalusian flowers in each of its balconies and windows that offer the best views of the Valle del Guadalhorce. Don’t overlook this lovely corner full of charm; it’s a great place to celebrate intimate events.
Other Spaces for Events and the MICE Potential of the Countryside
In addition to these traditional Andalusian haciendas, Malaga’s countryside villages offer more places for comfortable events: from bars and restaurants with lots of space, like La Cruz de Piedra in Coín, perfect for private parties or company lunches, to spaces formally recognised within the MICE sector.
Palacio de Congresos de Ronda
The Palacio de Congresos de Ronda, located in the most famous sierra in Spain’s south, offers the space and necessary facilities to host conferences, conventions and diverse gatherings. And so does the Convention Bureau de la Costa del Sol. Its speciality? Small and large events that benefit from the proximity to several historical and artistic aspects of the town: Arab baths, the Ronda viewpoint, the Casa del Rey Moro or the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda. Can you imagine a better place for your events?
Reservatauro (Ronda)
And if you’re looking for a space that offers an authentic connection to the environment, you can also organise your event at Reservatauro; it’s a special place to learn all about bull raising and Andalusian horses, an intrinsic part of Malaga and Spanish culture where you can celebrate events in different parts of the grounds.
Now that you know about different places for events in Malaga beyond the beaches and big cities, which aforementioned space are you going to choose? Costa del Sol is made up of a unique collection of natural landscapes and corners to celebrate events, product releases and conventions. To make the most of it, choose your favourite place and start planning!
