The Faraway World

Bright and modern, this Spanish villa in the prestigious Marbella Club Golf Resort isn't just a pretty face. Sure, it's minimal with bohemian flair, and the private, heated swimming pool and terrace overlooks some of Spain's rolling green hills, but the location is what caught our eye. Only a short drive to the beach and around thirty minutes into the city with its shops and tapas bars, it also has an on-site equestrian centre and a clubhouse with a bar. Certainly, one for the golfing enthusiasts who can take on the same eighteen holes as some of the most experienced have played.
