A Vivid Marbella Villa Overlooking Los Naranjos Golf Club
A modern take on traditional Andalusian charms, this view residence is all about its panoramas. Glass doors divide indoors and out, creating a seamless scene where indoor/outdoor living comes easily. There’s the added plus of a wine cellar and office on site, and each bedroom is ensuite and light-filled, with outdoor access and verdant views. Whites and woods give the house its requisite coastal styling and outdoor amenities include a Jacuzzi, sauna, private pool, garden, sun beds and umbrellas with big views out to sea.
Around
With some 27 kilometers of sandy beaches, Marbella is home to dozens of celebrities and famed for its glittering night clubs, upscale restaurants and its see-and-be-seen ambiance. A land of exclusive beach beach clubs and members-only cocktail bars, it also offers simpler pleasures along its waterfront, from sailing and dolphin watching, to guided buggy rides and lazing in the near-constant sunshine of the aptly named Costa del Sol.
Beyond Marbella’s glinting coastline and its buzzy nightlife, the city’s whitewashed Old Town is worth exploring. The town brims with bars and seafood restaurants, and is a playground for well-heeled Spaniards who also come to enjoy greater Andalusia’s offerings. Narrow cobbled streets are overhung with vivid bougainvillea, and the Patio de los Naranjos nearby is great spot for taking in the scene. An easy day trip into the Sierra Blanca mountain range offers a different view of the sea beyond Marbella. One top hike involves cresting La Concha peak, a 1200+ meter rocky summit with dazzling Mediterranean views, only about 20 minutes from town.
