Finca Arboleda is a tranquil retreat located just a five-minute drive from Vera, near Mojácar, in the beautiful Costa Almería region of Spain. Set on 5,000 square meters (approximately 1.25 acres), this peaceful oasis offers a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and comfort.
The stunning 10 x 5 meter Pebbletec swimming pool is exclusively shared among guests staying at Finca Arboleda, ensuring a private and refreshing experience. The property’s lush garden is arranged over three levels. On the top level, you’ll find our house, the Orange Grove Apartment, and the pool. The middle level is home to a grove of olive trees, while the Old Stables sits on the lower level, surrounded by more trees and greenery.
With over 100 mature trees, the garden is a haven of Mediterranean beauty. We have 55 olive trees, from which we produce our own extra virgin olive oil, available for guests to sample and purchase. The orchard also features 25 citrus trees, including oranges, mandarins, satsumas, and lemons, along with figs, pomegranates, mulberries, and grapevines. Guests are welcome to help themselves to any fruit in season, adding a fresh and natural touch to their stay.
Finca Arboleda offers a unique escape where you can relax in a picturesque setting while being just minutes away from the vibrant towns and beaches of Costa Almería.
At Finca Arboleda, we take great pride in producing our own extra virgin olive oil. Every November, we harvest our olives and take them to a press in Lubrín or Los Gallardos to be turned into high-quality olive oil. In 2024, we had a smaller crop, picking only 400 kilos of olive, far below our usual harvest of over 1,000 kilos. From this, we produced 75 liters of extra virgin olive oil, which we invite our guests to sample and, hopefully, take home. Our trees are organically grown and never sprayed with chemicals.
Why not come and stay with us and help pick the olives? It’s a fun and rewarding experience!
Our Animals
Mincy is our rescue dog, a Galga (Spanish Greyhound), whom we found living in a field just outside our gates in December 2019. She quickly became part of our family and is now a much-loved member of Finca Arboleda.
We also have a flock of friendly hens that provide delicious free-range eggs, perfect for breakfast, especially when cooked in our own olive oil!
Our beloved Stig, a Lurcher (Greyhound and Belgian Shepherd mix), was a stray who made Finca Arboleda his home. With his wonderful temperament, he was adored by many of our guests, just take a look at our guest book! Sadly, he passed away in November 2018, but he will always be part of our story.

We, Mick and Pirkko, have called Finca Arboleda home since January 2004 and have been welcoming guests to our holiday accommodations ever since. Pirkko is Swedish, and Mick is English; our journey together began in Stockholm in 1996 while Mick was working there. In 2002, we moved to the UK, but after a few months, we felt the pull of a new adventure—one that included more sunshine and a complete lifestyle change.
Spain quickly became our destination of choice. We explored everywhere from the Costa Blanca to the Portuguese border, but we kept returning to the Costa Almería region and Vera in particular. Its rustic charm and untouched beauty set it apart from the more developed Costas, making it the perfect place to start our new chapter.
After 18 months of searching for the right property, just as we were beginning to lose hope, we discovered Finca Arboleda. It was a stunning November day—the sky was a perfect blue, the Mediterranean shimmered in the distance, and the trees were heavy with oranges, pomegranates, and olives. We knew instantly that this was the place.
Nine months of hard work later, we were ready to welcome our first guests, and we’ve been improving and refining our accommodations ever since.
We truly love living here and are confident that you’ll enjoy your stay just as much as we enjoy hosting
