Overview
Located in San Pedro Playa, just moments from the beach, this southwest-facing villa offers a bright and modern space to enjoy the sunny climate of the Costa del Sol. Catering for up to 8 guests, this ultra-modern home is arranged across three floors. It is perfect for exploring the local area or enjoying long afternoons around the private pool and delightful garden.
Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a direct view through the garden beyond. Natural light floods the rooms, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling doors that wrap around the front of the living space and look onto the garden and pool. Enjoy a fluid inside-outside space by pulling them fully open and inviting a natural breeze to filter around the lower floor throughout the day.
A staircase off to the right gives access to the bedrooms, whilst the ground floor opens into an open-plan kitchen and living area. Tucked to the left is a high-spec kitchen, contemporary and unfussy; the built-in appliances are top quality, offering all the equipment necessary for your stay. A long island featuring the sink and hob is ideal for perching with a coffee over the morning paper. A generous dining table is in front of large bi-folding doors that frame the garden and give direct access to the terrace. An informal living area is arranged towards the end of the space with two large stylish sofas and chairs. Furnished with natural tones and materials, the space feels homely whilst still being practical for the warmer climate.
The private garden expands with a grassed lawn framing the terrace and outdoor pool. Echoing the modern interior aesthetic, a huge L-shaped sofa creates an inviting area to sit and read beneath the shade or relax with the whole family during the balmy evenings. An adjacent terrace features an equally large dining table and a small outdoor kitchen, the perfect place for entertaining guests over long lunches or late-night dinners during the warm summer months. The private pool is ideal for cooling off and peacefully floating beneath the clear blue skies. There is also a convenient outdoor shower to rinse off after a swim.
Accessed via a central staircase, the main bedrooms are arranged on the first floor of the villa. A chic main suite has a double bed facing the large sliding doors that give access to the upper terrace. The ensuite is minimal, providing a luxurious bathtub to relax in after a long day at the beach. Two double rooms are bright and spacious with access to the wrap-around balcony, whilst substantial curtains can be drawn across to ensure a dark room for an undisturbed sleep. A second bathroom is also on this floor, with a walk-in shower to be shared between the second and third bedrooms. The fourth bedroom can be found on the basement level, with an additional bathroom and laundry room.
On the top floor, the spectacular roof terrace spreads across the whole villa. With an arrangement of seating options, it can be enjoyed throughout the day and is ideal to withdraw for a bit of solitude and take in the views of the surrounding area. Alternatively, take a glass of wine after dinner and chat long into the evening beneath the stars.
What you should know…
- On the lower ground floor, the multi-purpose room currently functions as a fourth bedroom but can be made use of in other ways if there are less guests staying
- Tucked between other houses, the villa occupies a spot in a residential neighbourhood, so it is worth being mindful of noise carrying during the later part of the day
- Whilst the main bedroom has an ensuite, the second and third rooms share a bathroom, but there is the additional convenience of a further bathroom on the lower ground level that can be used for guests and throughout the day

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AraySituated on a tree-lined residential street, the villa is just moments from the town of San Pedro and less than 800m from the beach. Once a small Roman town, San Pedro forms part of one of Marbella's significant districts. Remnants of the Roman bathhouses can still be seen, as well as the Byzantine Early Christian Church of Vega del Mar. The town now has plenty of supermarkets, shops and restaurants serving up a variety of cuisines.
A short stroll down to the seafront takes you to San Pedro Playa, a popular blue flag beach with a long stretch of golden sand. A promenade with tall palm trees hugs the beach line, creating a pleasant separation from the main road. The beach is wide and clean, with a gentle shoreline for paddling. It offers a high standard of amenities, making it easy to set up camp for the whole day and enjoy dipping in and out of the clear blue water. If you're looking for lunch, a number of beach bars can be found nearby, as well as small huts selling ice creams and refreshments. The promenade is part of the Senda Litoral de Malaga, a coastal path of 160km. For keen runners and cyclists, the newly paved path makes a flat and easy route for exercising or visiting nearby towns up and down the coast.
For a more cosmopolitan vibe, Marbella’s vibrant city centre is just 25 minutes by car and the glamorous port of Puerto Banús can be reached in half this time. Built on the model of a luxurious Mediterranean village, Puerto Banus is a hub for luxurious yachts to pull up in the marina’s clear waters. Fashionable boutiques, bars and terraces enclose the harbour, making it the perfect spot to stop for a leisurely lunch and look at the buzzing activity as boats come and go.
If the boat life becomes appealing, why not take the Banus-Marbella Ferry as an alternative to the car and enjoy an afternoon out on the water soaking up the sun and taking the coastline from a new perspective. For a more adventurous trip, there is the option of taking an 'excursion with a bath' where you can jump off the side of the boat and swim in the clear blue sea. Return to Puerto Banús in the late afternoon and grab a cocktail before heading home, or stay late into the evening and explore the bars and dance clubs along the Calle Ribera, which stay open until the early hours.
For those looking to escape the city and enjoy the natural surroundings, there are several great hiking spots just a short drive inland to the dramatic mountains of Serranía de Ronda. Plenty of designated footpaths make it easy to access by foot to enjoy a day exploring the pine forests and valleys or opt for a more challenging uphill route to reach the spectacular views down to the sea. The sunny days and warm climate mean this Andalusian region is a haven for sports enthusiasts. Multiple leisure clubs and golf courses offer facilities for all the family to enjoy, such as horse riding, polo and tennis. Or go at Padel, an increasingly popular game that can be tried at Real Club Padel Marbella, just a 5-minute drive away.

We loved it!
I was at Villa Aray with my family and we loved it! Benny, Nuria and their team were very attentive always and the whole experience was wonderful. The villa is 5 minutes away from the beach and there are very good restaurants and beach bars right next door. The house was super clean, the decor was very nice, and the space great for 8 people. I would definitely come back! Many thanks for everything to Benny, Nuria and all their team!
