Flowing Waters

Flowing Waters: Andalusia

From the sea view terraces of this exclusive villa, you can see North Africa on a clear day. And in the south of Spain, clear sunny days are plentiful. It's a fifteen-minute drive to the coast for beaches and the glitzy centre of Marbella is twenty-five minutes in the car. This villa has so many luxurious touches that you might just stay put. Palm-fringed gardens are home to a lagoon-shaped infinity pool looking out over the mountains to the sea and there are myriad dining spots and terraces in the shade. While the main lounge inside is a grand affair with its upright piano and open fireplace, the highlight is the lower floor. Down here, there's a Moroccan-style cocktail bar, indoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi, sauna and a yoga and fitness room. The casual cinema room with day beds just tops it all off.
