Prepare to be dumbfounded by the welcoming ambiance, impressive interiors and exceptional hilltop setting of the El Carligto Estate; the owners of this very special, private hilltop estate near the Mediterranean Sea in southernmost Spain are delighted to unveil a new exclusive offering for weddings and events, which promises to blaze the senses and exceed all expectations for that special day.

The ten acre El Carligto Estate near Malaga comprises a duo of luxury villas providing a blank canvas upon which to create the intimate wedding, reunion, or other special event to remember for a lifetime. Cortijo El Carligto – Private Andalucian Hideaway exudes all the beauty, romance and authenticity of a traditional Spanish farmhouse along with its Bohemian-chic companion property The Hunting Lodge, and together they offer unrivalled luxury courtesy of the stylish eye of the discerning owners. The setting of this intimate venue is simply breath-taking. Basking in the Andalusian sun at the edge of the pool terrace offers a “top of the world” sensation nothing short of spectacular; marvel as the land seemingly falls away before you into the valley and spills out to meet the sea beyond. Guests can take shade under the ancient eucalyptus or tropical palm trees in the grassy poolside garden – just imagine the photos!

There is ample space for up to 40-50 people within the grounds, making this new Andalusian events venue a stylishly intimate place to celebrate with friends and family. American owner Alan Hazel says, “We decided to open the estate up for special events after certain past guests were so inspired by the setting that they asked us if they could marry here. And it went brilliantly!” He continues, “We first hosted an intimate celebrity wedding ceremony and a couple of VIP birthday gatherings, having assembled a full team of service providers to offer a complete package for whatever special event our guests might like to stage. The backdrop for it all here at El Carligto really is the icing on the (wedding or birthday) cake!”

Up to fifty guests can be formally seated for a catered event with a Michelin rated private chef, whilst for more informal receptions up to 100 guests can enjoy milling about the heart-stirring estate with a glass of bubbly and canapés or tapas. Known as “THE gastro-villa of Andalusia,” the culinary services are sure to be a highlight. Whatever your heart's desire, it can be realized here at the El Carligto Estate. Your perfectly bespoke special event in Spain is limited by your imagination alone…
