Villa Himar

About this property

Nestled in the heart of Patalavaca, and featuring beautiful views of the ocean and the quiet fishing town of Arguineguin, is Villa Himar, a beautiful white-washed property that accommodates up to twelve guests over three spacious storeys. The villa is luxuriously stylish throughout, putting Oliver in mind of a modern executive hotel, with gleaming tiled floors, white pillars, marble bathrooms and stunning decorative touches. The lounge area is large and inviting, showcasing incredible sea views and featuring plump sofas and cosy armchairs, a modern-style coffee table and a large flatscreen smart TV, creating a wonderful space for chilling out on a lazy morning or at the end of a busy day.

There’s a separate dining area that accommodates up to eight guests and offers a wonderfully intimate setting for indoor meals, and you’ll find additional seating for four guests in the villa’s country-style kitchen. This well-appointed room comes complete with ample storage and food-preparation space, as well as a range of high-end appliances, including a central island with ceramic hob and extractor, oven and microwave, fridge, coffee maker and a dishwasher. The kitchen overlooks Villa Himar’s pool and barbecue area, making for a bright and cheery space to cook together as a family.

On the same floor, you’ll find a good-sized double bedroom, elegantly decorated and featuring a sumptuous bed, wardrobe, and the first of the villa’s family bathrooms. Three more bedrooms can be found on the upper floor; a double and two stylish twins. The double bedroom features a large dressing room, a TV and an ensuite bathroom with shower facilities, as well as offering guests direct access to a furnished terrace with incredible sea views - it’s a great spot for enjoying a morning cuppa or watching the incredible sunsets that the area is famous for.

On the villa’s mezzanine level, there are two further double bedrooms, one offering direct access to the upper floor solarium space - great for relaxation and soaking up the sun. All the bedrooms are modern and spacious, providing guests with ample wardrobe space, fantastic views, and soft, comfortable beds for a relaxing and restful night’s sleep.  

The outdoor spaces here at Villa Himar are stunning and are undoubtedly where you’ll spend most of your time during your stay. There are outdoor chillout areas for lounging, complete with quality furnishings, as well as a covered outdoor kitchen and dining space with a built-in barbecue for preparing and enjoying delicious alfresco meals. Guests here can enjoy the villa’s large private pool, which can be covered for safety and is easily accessible via steps, making it easier for guests of all ages to get in and out of the water. Villa Himar is a delightful holiday accommodation well suited to larger families or friendship groups holidaying together, offering everything you’ll need to enjoy a memorable stay in this gorgeous island paradise.

Villar Himar is situated in Patalavaca, just north of the quiet fishing town of Arguineguin, and these two resorts have merged over the years to become one large destination area that is famous for glorious sunsets and beautiful beaches. The main beach here is Playa de Patalavaca, a long stretch of fine-grained sand that is divided into two by a rocky ledge. Visitors here can rent sunbeds and umbrellas, and the waters here are good for swimming, although it’s worth noting that there can be high waves at times. You’ll find a number of good restaurants and beach bars nearby, serving food to suit all budgets and tastes. Playa de Aquamarina is located slightly further north and is a beach more suited to families with children as it’s almost fully protected from the waves and features calm, shallow waters.    

If you decide to head into the Arguineguin, Oliver recommends heading to one of the town’s fabulous beaches, such as Playa Las Maranuelas, famous for its beautiful sunsets and calm, clear waters. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance from here, including the all-you-can-eat-style Restaurante El Marino, which serves fresh cooked-on-the-spot cuisine rather than buffet-style fare. Playa de Arguineguin is another beach well worth visiting and is one of the biggest attractions on the coast, especially as it is located close to the Arguineguin market, which is held here every Tuesday and is comprised of vendors and stalls that travels around the island on different days of the week. Here you can also enjoy spectacular sunsets, and on days of high visibility, it’s possible to see Mount Tiede in Tenerife. For families with young children, La Lajilla is the most popular beach in the town, thanks to its safe and sheltered location that keeps it protected from the waves and ocean currents and amenities such as showers, sunbeds and umbrellas.

Snorkelling excursions are very popular with visitors to the town, offering guests a three-hour experience that includes learning how to use the equipment and how to dive. Expert guides will lead you to the best spots, pointing out and identifying an array of local marine life - it’s an experience not to be missed. If you fancy seeing some of the local wildlife without getting your feet (too) wet, Oliver recommends a speed boat trip out to the open ocean, where you’ll be able to spot dolphins and whales in their natural environment. Most of these trips start from nearby Puerto Rico and include refreshments as well as a swim break for those who want to get out in the ocean.
