Casa de Oro

Situated steps from the Mediterranean gently, lapping at the sands of Playa Casablanca, this spectacular five-bedroom townhouse offers unfettered access to the glitz and glamour of Marbella's Golden Mile.

With over 300 days of sun every year, you'll spend your time soaking up some rays on the rooftop terrace, stretching out by the shared pool and enjoying refreshing dips in the sea. And if it all gets too much, there's a terrace with a retractable sunshade so you can bring the mercury down to more manageable levels.

Sliding glass doors mean you can seamlessly slip back inside, enjoying the sea breeze from the comfort of the comfy cream-coloured sofas or playing games around the dining table. In addition, those guests lucky enough to bag the two biggest rooms benefit from access to private balconies.

A sleek modern kitchen is perfect for a self-catered stay. However, there are plenty of tempting eateries on your doorstep. If you feel like pushing the boat out, then there are three Michelin-starred restaurants to choose from in the plaza of the iconic Puente Romano hotel. Meanwhile, plenty of more affordable alternatives lie within walking distance or a short drive away, in nearby Marbella and Puerto Bánus.
