Puesta Del Sol

Puesta Del Sol: Andalusia

TV producers love to showcase Marbella as a playground of the rich and beautiful - and this luxury modern villa is just the kind of place a celebrity would be found. Pretty much every possible wellness convenience can be found on-site, from its fitness centre, indoor hot-tub and two pools, to the fully fitted kitchen, serviced by a private chef on request. When you've toned and buffed yourself to a high shine in the former you can relax, barbecue or entertain on the rooftop terraces with wraparound sea views. It'll be tough to tear yourself away from the villa at all during your stay, but when you manage it, you'll have all the Costa del Sol can provide at your fingertips: beaches, shopping, golf courses, art galleries and fine dining galore. Getting there is a snap too, as private drivers and luxury car rental (as well as butlers, nannies and waiting staff) can be organised through your host.

Home truths:
* This would be a great pad for a couples' holiday – but one pair will have to stay in two single beds
*You can add a cot on request for €25 but you’ll definitely need to watch kids around the pools and hot tub
