Glitz by the Sea

This deluxe villa feels like your own private beach club in the heart of Marbella's Golden Mile. You’re surrounded by plush bars, Michelin-starred restaurants and the glitz and glam of Marbella’s centre. Just beyond the terrace, the soft-sanded beach stretches before you. And we need to talk about that terrace. With a lagoon-shaped swimming pool, separate hot tub and endless shaded spots for loungers and sprawling sofas, this really does feel like the good life. Then there’s the rooftop, with a bar, outdoor kitchen, dining area and cabana-style seating ideal for watching the sun set over the sea. Inside, you can tell this place has been designed by a renowned design studio. The cappuccino colour scheme feels classy, and carefully placed boho touches are homely. The open kitchen, living and dining room is perfect for social gatherings, especially around the huge designer dining table. Then there are the super plush bedrooms, each with its own access to the outside spaces.
