Why choose a luxury villa in Marbella?

Often underestimated, Marbella offers everything you need for a luxury villa holiday. There’s a fine selection of beaches including the famous ‘golden mile’, stretching from Marbella city to the glitzy Puerto Banus, all with the stunning backdrop of the Sierra Blanca Mountains. And, to top it off the sun shines up to 320 days of the year here – bliss!

A luxury villa holiday would not be complete without a trip to the beach, and Marbella certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to long stretches of golden sands, with a total of 27km to bask in the sunshine. With clear waters, and a gentle sloping shoreline, Playa Nagüeles on the golden mile is one of the finest and is fantastic for families. The fine sand makes for perfect sand castle building or why not charter a yacht for the day and get out on the water.

If sipping cocktails amongst the glitterati is more your style then stay in one of our luxury Marbella hotel villas at the Marbella Club and enjoy the privacy and peace and quiet of your own luxury villa, whist at the same time you are just moments away from all the action at the beach where you’ll be welcomed with five star service and some of the finest sea food on the Costa del Sol.

And, speaking of beach clubs we couldn’t not mention the world famous Nikki beach, around 15 minutes from the center of Marbella. It is the place to ‘see and be seen’ on a luxury summer villa holiday in Marbella.

Head along to Puerto Banus, the playground for the international jet set, and you will find one of Europe’s most glamourous marinas. Take a stroll amongst the fabulous super yachts, or while away an afternoon perusing the luxury brands of Gucci, Bulgari, Jimmy Choo, Dolce and Gabana and the like. You are likely to see more than your fair share of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Aston Martins too, as it is said that there are more supercars here than anywhere else on earth.

And come the evening, sip on an aperitif in a sophisticated bar as you watch the sun go down over the port before heading back to your luxury villa. Or if you’re more of a night owl, you’ll find plenty of nightlife in Marbella.

If you ever get tired of the glitz and glamour, the historic old town is a true hidden gem. Offering a different scene to the cosmopolitan main town, you will get a feel for the real Andalusia. Winding cobbled streets set the scene for quaint boutiques and sunny cafes and if you are here for the day why not stop for lunch at an authentic tapas restaurant in the Orange Square whilst you take in the bright blue skies and watch the world go by.

For a fabulous luxury family villa experience, stay at Villa San Pedro or its neighbour Villa Florenta.Or if you need a luxury Marbella villa for a very large group, Villa El Cid and Villa El Cano sleep 20 people each and are perfect as a venue for a celebration.

For a sprinkling of culture, take a trip to Pueblos Blancos, a set of charming whitewashed hill top villages where Andalusians first settled. There are plenty of castles, museums and Moorish traditions to explore, offering the perfect outing for a change of scenery on a luxury villa holiday in Marbella.

Marbella offers such a diverse range of things do on a luxury villa holiday. Golf is huge here, with some of the best golf courses in Spain for you to enjoy. Stay at Villa Cortesin and you’ll be just moments from the stunning championship course at the Finca Cortesin hotel. Sergio Garcia compared the greens here with those at Augusta National for their quality and speed.

Or for something more adventurous, try your hand at canyoning, explore the landscape in a 4×4, horseback ride on the beach, take the kids to a water park, animal safari or sample some of Spain’s finest wines on tasting tour.

A stay in one of our luxury villas puts you in the perfect position to to do as much as little as you please whether you come as a family, group or couple.
