A Little Opulence Never Hurt

A Little Opulence Never Hurt: Andalusia

Sitting in a prime position within Marbella's famed Golf Valley, this is one of those A-list homes that boasts not only impeccable style but also a huge range of amenities that will make your stay completely unforgettable.

Given the copious amounts of sunshine that the region enjoys, it makes sense to start outside and what better way to pass summer afternoons than by paddling in the long swimming pool sitting in the middle of manicured lawns? There are plenty of terraces on which to dry off after a dip, as well as a rooftop space from which to admire the natural majesty of surrounding Nueva Andalucia.

There's just as much to like behind the home's white facade. The gym and yoga room will appeal to those that like to start the day with a bit of a workout, while there's also a sauna in which to tend to sore muscles afterwards. In the main house's living room, the contemporary fireplace is both striking to look at and wonderfully cosy once the sun goes down. We've got similarly kind words for the super-sleek kitchen and bathrooms, plus the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that are nothing but generous when it comes to natural light.

This being Golf Valley, it won't be a surprise to learn that there are more than a few courses in the local area, but don't fret if you're not a fan of the sport – the beach town of Puerto Banus is mere minutes away in the car, while both Estepona and Marbella lie nearby, too.

Home truths:
*The home is spread over two floors with no elevator, but there are bedrooms on the ground level
*There's space to park up to two cars on the premises
*The address is split between the main villa and a guesthouse with a lounge, kitchen, gym or yoga room
