Situated in the heart of Puerto Banús, a ten-minute walk from glamorous beach clubs, super yachts and buzzing nightlife haunts, this villa is perfectly placed for those wanting a piece of the Costa del Sol’s most luxurious enclave. It’s good news for avid golfers, too, as there are a number of world-class golf courses within a few kilometres of your postcode. And if you’re in the mood for something a little more low-key, Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja Natural Park is the ideal place to unwind with a picnic.

Inside the home, it’s welcoming and comfortable – we loved the uncluttered spaces and sumptuous soft furnishings. Begin mornings slow and steady in the open-plan living area before bowling out into the garden for a day of relaxing by the pool.

Should you want to take a break from the heat, the patio with remote control awning provides respite from the midday sun. You’ll also find a barbecue for alfresco lunches and a chill-out area for lounging about with your loved ones – this was our favourite spot to end the day, especially with a chilled glass of wine in hand.
