Our Story

 

You, me and the sea

 

A quarter century ago, our family used to rent an apartment in Valle Gran Rey every year around Christmas. After 8 years, it had gotten too crowded for us, too touristy.

We had to look for something else… One day, walking past age-old laurel bushes, barrancos and terraced fields, all the while being carefully watched by eagles circling above our heads, a small bay appeared in the distance, with black sand and babbling waves touching the shore: la Playa de Alojera.

For us, this became the place we could enjoy the surrounding forests, flowers, the sun, the mountains and the sea, all in the temperate climate that’s enjoyable both during summer and winter.

15 Years later, an opportunity arrived that allowed us to purchase the rental property. Wow! We founded our company, set out to get all of the permits and paperwork sorted out, and after 4 years of administrative work, everything was set. The purchase agreement was signed, the restorations carried out… And voilà! Bienvenido at ‘Apartementos MESA Playa de Alojera’!

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
