$150-300/ noite
Reservar se You want a private villa lifestyle on a condo budget—specifically the rare luxury of a private lagoon pool without the hotel crowds.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- The lagoon-style pool is massive and often private to your unit
- Located in 'La Carolina,' a prestigious, quiet residential enclave
- Walking distance (10-15 min) to the Golden Mile beaches
Resumo Rápido: This is a high-end vacation rental masquerading as a hotel, so bring your own shampoo and don't expect a concierge.
Revisado por @ReecesPieces_Reels: I felt like I owned a private slice of Marbella here. Mornings started with coffee on that sun-drenched terrace, and cooling off in the pool with the mountain backdrop was pure magic. It’s the perfect spot to just disconnect from everything.

It is a vacation rental property. You are renting a self-contained unit (villa or apartment) in a residential area.

Is there parking?
Yes, free private parking is included, usually within the gated property or directly outside.
Can I bring my dog?
Generally no. Most listings explicitly state 'No pets allowed'.
Is there a cleaning fee?
Yes, typically included in the final quote or charged as a separate line item (~€60-100).
