Where to stay in Cútar
Cútar is a small village in the Axarquía hills, so accommodation options within the village itself are very limited. Your best bet is to stay in nearby Vélez-Málaga or Competa, both of which put you within easy reach of the area while offering more choice for places to sleep.
If you want something closer to the coast with good road connections inland, Torre del Mar is a practical base too. From any of these spots you can make the short drive up to Cútar without any trouble.
