Overview
Situated on the hillside within a secluded residential area, this wonderful villa blends nature and luxury to offer an idyllic setting in which to enjoy a break on the desirable Mediterranean coast.
Arranged over several levels, Villa Secreto sits within a generous plot, looking out of the verdant forests and undulating landscape beyond. Recently built, the villa has a contemporary feel, whilst the linear structure and minimalist aesthetic allow it to fit seamlessly inside the hillside. Exposed concrete walls make the rooms feel like they have been carved from the landscape, with large openings that lead out onto a series of expansive terraces from where guests can enjoy the spectacular views.
Bright and spacious, the rooms are well-designed, encouraging a seamless flow to the exterior. The main living areas can be found in the centre, with a large living room offering a comfortable place to sit, whilst an open kitchen-dining space enjoys wonderful views across the landscape. The kitchen is well-equipped, with sleek surfaces, an impressive island counter and quality appliances, making it easy to prepare meals to enjoy together. There is also an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, perfect for entertaining and sharing memorable evenings sitting out beneath the stars.
Wrapping around the front of the kitchen, the main terrace is perfect for long afternoons in the sun, and a series of loungers invite you to dry off after taking a refreshing swim in the pool. A sheltered lounge area is ideal for escaping the midday heat, or why not relax with some drinks at the end of the day and make the most of the warm summer nights?
The main bedroom is found on the opposite side of the ground floor, occupying a corner room with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of the sea. Smartly furnished, the room has a minimal palette, with smart timber joinery echoing the natural surroundings. To the rear, an ensuite bathroom features double sinks as well as a walk-in shower, whilst a pair of outdoor showers can be found on the open terrace. There is also a jacuzzi tub, perfect for an evening beneath the stars. With direct access to the terrace, guests can wake up and enjoy a quiet coffee in the morning air, whilst several stylish loungers are perfect for a peaceful siesta.
A further four bedrooms can be found on the lower level, each well-presented with either a comfortable double bed or twin beds (or two bunk beds for the kids) and a smart ensuite shower. Three of the rooms also have direct access to a lower terrace, offering a lovely spot for sitting with a book and soaking up the tranquil setting.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SecretoSitting on the hillside within an exclusive residential area, Villa Secreto enjoys a peaceful, secluded setting tucked between the La Serrania de Ronda mountains and the glorious Mediterranean coast.
Thanks to the warm, sunny climate, the area is a haven for golf enthusiasts, and guests can enjoy a round one of the many immaculate courses nearby. Head to the country club to participate in a tennis match or have a go at the popular game of padel before retiring to the clubhouse for a well-deserved drink on the terrace.
For those looking to spend the day beside the sea, Marbella’s golden beaches are just a short drive away. A quiet stretch of sand at Gualdalmansa is perfect for a relaxing swim, or head up the coast to San Pedro Playa to walk along the palm-lined boulevard and soak up the fun-loving summer atmosphere. A handful of sports centres offer a variety of water activities such as paddle boarding or jet skiing, whilst several chiringuitos can be found dotted along the sand, perfect for a midday snack or afternoon ice cream.
Sitting slightly further to the north, the glamorous Puerto Banus offers a fun day out. Wander around the waterfront to admire grand yachts and impressive sailboats, or stop for a drink at one of the chic waterfront bars and soak up the animated daily activity. The nearby streets are lined with exclusive galleries and top fashion boutiques, or head up to the rooftop of the Sky Lounge to sip on a cocktail whilst looking over the harbour.
The golden sands stretch up and down the coast, offering endless opportunities to soak up the Mediterranean sun, or why not head inland to explore the mountain landscape and charming hillside villages? Nestled in the mountain, just a short drive from the villa, Benhavis is a typical Andalusian settlement with charming streets lined with white-washed buildings. Various hiking trails and jogging routes start from here, inviting you to explore the picturesque scenery and a popular path runs along the Guadalmina River, where you can cool off in the natural pools or share a picnic between the trees. Benhavis also has a number of reputable restaurants, perfect for trying classic regional cuisine and delicious local specialities. Sat within a beautiful square, Flor de Lis is a great option with a credible menu that combines Galician and Mediterranean flavours.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith plenty of space and several terraces, Villa Secreto is a great place to enjoy with the whole family. The main living room is bright and spacious, with an enormous sofa, perfect for sitting all together and enjoying a night in with a movie. Large dining tables both inside and out have ample room for everyone, or why not make the most of the warm weather and share entertaining evenings with a barbecue on the terrace? Outside, kids can have fun playing in the sun, and the private pool is great for the whole family, although we do ask that children are always supervised when outside on the terraces due to its layout.
The nearby country club has plenty for everyone to enjoy, whether taking a golf lesson or enjoying a competitive game of tennis, and the clubhouse is perfect for regrouping for a family lunch. With the coast just a 15-minute drive, it is easy to spend the day beside the sea, and the nearby San Pedro Playa is a perfect spot for families. The long stretch of golden sand and gentle shore invites young ones to paddle in the shallow water, and there are a number of chiringuitos that invite you for an afternoon treat. Also, to the rear of the beach, San Pedro Boulevard boasts six playgrounds equipped with slides, swings and play equipment that offer hours of entertainment.
