Thanks to the guys at glampinghub.com for their featured blog on Cloud House Farm:

“The southern coast of Spain famous for its gorgeous beaches, warm Mediterranean waters, and busy holiday destinations like Malaga, Gibraltar and Cadiz.  Tourists pour into these areas in the spring and summer months to soak up a bit of sun and enjoy the colorful and friendly Spanish culture.  The coastal cities and small towns are used to the ebb and flow of the travel seasons, but they can sometimes be overcrowded during the peak times.  When a place is over capacity, the elements of relaxation and calm that most desire on vacation can sometimes be lost, and you return home more exhausted than when you set out.

So, how do you enjoy the beauties of southern Spain and avoid the hustle and bustle of the beach towns?  Here’s our secret.  Glamping.  Deep in the Sierra Bermeja Mountain Range, about two and a half hours from Malaga, sits Cloud House Farm.  Family-friendly and absolutely breathtaking, this glamp site is the essence of seclusion, while offering easy access to nearby historical villages.  Nestled in groves of oak, cork, olive and chestnut trees, their luxury yurt accommodations give lucky travellers private views of the nearby mountains and free admission to wander among the fruit trees or along some of Andalucia’s most famous hiking trails.

Cloud House Farm is completely off the grid, so its entire infrastructure is nature friendly, with solar power, eco washrooms, and garden grown vegetables and herbs.  Their structures are built with local materials, and fresh water is gravity fed from mountain springs.

So, instead of clambering onto the hot beaches with a thousand other travellers, your vacation at Cloud House Farm will involve strolling in the hills, lounging in hammocks, and lolling in nearby fresh-water pools.”
