Budding chefs will relish the chance to indulge their skills here, the breakfast bar island unit providing a great spot for family and friends to share in the preparation or simply observe and chat over a chilled glass of sangría. Whether eating informally on the terrace or inside at the elegant glass dining table, the wonderful views provide a fabulous backdrop for any meal.

Outside, a gorgeous private pool on the south-facing terrace is perfect for lazy days in the sun, a gas barbecue offering the means to rustle up a juicy steak or perhaps some tasty grilled sardines for a light lunch.

When you feel like handing over the culinary reins to someone else, you’ll find Villa Mediterraneo within easy walking distance of a great selection of upmarket local restaurants and trendy bars. It’s also just a short drive to the charming Cabopino Marina, with central Marbella itself a mere 15 minutes away, offering a wealth of eateries and nightspots to suit all tastes.

Beach-lovers are spoilt for choice here, with the Costa’s lovely golden sands on hand and several top beach clubs nearby, including the famous party venue, Nikki Beach. There is also a wealth of fabulous golf and leisure facilities within close proximity for those who enjoy more sporting pursuits.
