Vrijstaande villa in Guadalmina Alta, Costa del Sol

Set within one of Marbella's most sought-after golf communities, this fully renovated villa is a masterclass in contemporary Andalusian living — where classic Spanish architecture meets sleek, modern interiors. Behind its whitewashed façade and traditional terracotta-tiled roofline, the villa reveals a striking contrast: a beautifully updated interior wrapped in a timeless Mediterranean shell. Arched colonnades, a private wraparound terrace, and a solar-panelled roof combine classic Marbella charm with modern efficiency. The mature garden is lush with palms, and manicured hedging, framing a sleek pool and sun terrace — the perfect setting for al fresco living under the Andalusian sun. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings crossed with statement black timber beams, from which sculptural amber glass chandeliers cascade — an elegant focal point in the double-height living area. Wide-plank oak joinery, custom shelving, and fluted wood panelling run throughout, lending warmth against a crisp white backdrop. Floor-to-ceiling black-framed sliding doors flood the living spaces with natural light and views of the pool and gardens beyond. A sleek linear fireplace anchors the main living room, flanked by full-height windows. The open-plan kitchen is finished with book-matched marble-effect quartz countertops and splashbacks, integrated Haier appliances, and warm oak cabinetry with soft-close, handleless drawers — a striking blend of natural stone and timber tones. The principal suite offers a serene retreat, with a slatted oak feature wall as a headboard backdrop, backlit ceiling coving, and a frosted glass sliding door leading to an expansive walk-in dressing room fitted with bespoke oak wardrobes, integrated lighting, and generous drawer storage. The spa-like bathrooms continue the material palette with floating walnut vanities, twin sinks, backlit mirrors, and large-format porcelain tiling. The rear grounds are an entertainer's dream: a full-length covered veranda supported by traditional Moorish-style archways opens onto a sleek rectangular pool and sun terrace, bordered by towering palms and tropical planting. A separate raised water feature next to the pool, adds a further touch of resort-style luxury. Positioned directly alongside the fairways of a prestigious Marbella golf course, with the beach only a short drive away the property enjoys a privileged setting within a residential enclave of similarly high-end villas — just minutes from the beach, golf clubs and Guadalmina Commercial Centre renowned for dining and shopping. Marbella, Puerto Banus, San Pedro de Alcantara and Estepona are also a short drive away and towns with their own charm.
