Description Andalusian Solarium: Marbella

A private rooftop jacuzzi with panoramic views across the Mediterranean is a hard thing to leave behind – but the heated pool below, framed by a covered lounge and Moroccan-lantern-lit interiors, gives you every reason to explore the villa's many other pleasures. Set within a gated community in Nueva Andalucía, this six-bedroom retreat sits at the heart of Marbella's Golf Valley, with Puerto Banús and the Golden Mile both a short drive away.

Home truths:
* We recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around. The underground garage fits two cars. If you're arriving as a full group of twelve, factor in that additional vehicles will need to park on the street outside the gated community.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange babysitting through the villa's VIP services. A cot is also available – request it in advance so everything is ready on arrival.
* While the some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
