With a sophisticated black and white interior of gleaming marble, encompassed by immaculately manicured gardens with a pool, this stunning villa wows with seamless indoor-outdoor living at a level of luxury that's not often seen.

While away your days lounging by the pool, stretched out with a book in the sunken seating area and tucking into light bites at the outdoor dining table. Those who find an outlet for their creativity in the kitchen will be delighted by the top-of-the-range equipment. For everyone else, your host can help you arrange all manner of private catering packages, so you can get on with the important business of relaxing.

Your evening entertainment is taken care of by the spectacular in-home cinema, where you can cosy up with loved ones in front of your favourite films. Alternatively, pour yourself a glass of something chilled for a sundowner session looking out over the view.

With easy access to Nueva Andalucia's Golf Valley, fans of the fairway won't have far to travel to make their tee time, but if a round of gold doesn't grab you, then the vibrant bars and exclusive restaurants of the super-yacht-lined marinas in nearby Puerto Banús and Marbella are bound to be a hole-in-one.
