Description Spa & Sea: Marbella

This contemporary villa sits in the gated hills of Sierra Blanca, where floor-to-ceiling glazing pulls light into every room and opens onto landscaped terraces and an infinity pool. Below ground, a private spa with an indoor heated pool, sauna, and gym makes a compelling argument for staying in – so does the cinema room and wine cellar. The main suite has a terrace with Mediterranean views, while every bedroom has its own en-suite and private terrace. Glamorous Marbella is just a short drive away when the mood calls for it.

Home truths:
* While the two of the bedrooms and five of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* The villa is spread across three floors, so you'll be using the stairs regularly as you move between the main living areas, bedrooms, and the lower-level spa and cinema.
* You'll have six parking spaces in total – three in a private garage and three on the driveway – so bringing multiple vehicles is straightforward.
