The Marbella

The Marbella: Andalusia

Combine a beachfront location with luxury amenities, and you’re onto a winner. This tech-savvy villa is perfect for entertaining, with a built-in sound system, a private saltwater pool, a gym, a home cinema and a live-in housekeeper. Now, there are areas for relaxing, too – the sauna and main suite soaking tub are our picks. Keep in mind you’ll need to climb some stairs at this three-storey villa, but with sea views to wake up to, it’s a small price to pay. And when you’re ready for a beach day, just stroll directly off your doorstep to Playa Río Verde.
