High above the bright lights of Marbella and Puerto Banús sits the most exclusive residential area of the Costa del Sol; El Madroñal. Nestled in the heart of abundant cork and pine forests, surrounded by wildlife and nature, with stunning views down over sweeping golf fairways, the coast and the glistening Mediterranean, the private communities of El Madroñal and La Zagaleta are home to some of most exceptional luxury properties in Spain.
From this idyllic location, perched 400 metres above sea level in a haven of complete serenity and calm with commanding country, sea and mountain views, it’s hard to imagine you are only a short distance from the hustle and bustle of one of the most fashionable destinations in Europe - and such is the beauty of this elite neighbourhood. With acres of unspoiled land stretching out around you, 24 hour security, within a gated complex, and a privileged position enjoying complete privacy, El Madroñal is only a short drive to the lavish marina of Puerto Banús and the happening town of Marbella. This is the only location in Europe where you can enjoy spectacular views out over Africa, surrounded by countryside, with all the amenities of the coast’s glitz and glamour close at hand in a sanctuary of absolute comfort and luxury. It is therefore of little wonder that these private urbanisations are home to the world’s elite; from celebrities and politicians to tycoons and royals, El Madroñal and La Zagaleta are without a doubt the most sought after addresses on the Costa del Sol.
This absolutely stunning project is completely unique in southern Spain. The ultra-contemporary villa has been designed to be at one with nature, and completely immersed in its natural surroundings. From the views of the surrounding cork forests to the tropical palms and vegetation of the garden, this is a truly exclusive example of natural modern luxury.
The floor to ceiling glass windows to the front and back of the living room recede into the walls on either side allowing the building to become one with nature, borrowing architectural cues from South American architects. This affords an abundance of real light and a beautifully breezy feel throughout the living areas. This also allows for that laidback and sociable indoor-outdoor Andalucian lifestyle.
The property is built with five internal gardens, and a stylish use of glass walls give the illusion that the gardens run inside the house. The whole feel is one of light, space, nature… a peaceful, natural haven in a sleek contemporary build.
All appliances have been carefully considered and all technology and design features are of the highest quality and from the most exclusive brands.
The kitchens are by the Italian brand Varenna with Gaggenau appliances, the doors are heavy 50cm thick bespoke doors with concealed hinges and windows are German brand Schuco.
This amazing villa brings outdoors in and indoors out. The sensational Andalusian climate allows for dining outdoors in the winter sunshine and turning living room and terrace into warm, inviting environment that is simply designed for living.
