A sprawling estate perfect for luxury holidays, wellness retreats, and special events

The Sanctuary Marbella offers a truly luxurious countryside retreat just minutes from the beautiful beaches of the sun-kissed Costa del Sol. Located within an exclusive gated community, this stunning villa provides privacy and security for large groups, memorable special events, or relaxing wellness retreats.

At the front of the property, a sparkling infinity pool overlooks the rolling landscape and imposing mountains beyond. Surrounded by an expansive deck with plenty of sun loungers, it’s the perfect place to bask in the sunshine and soak up the spectacular views. The lush lawn area is also ideal for intimate events.

An expansive courtyard garden separates the main villa from the guest house. Surrounded by lush greenery, this versatile space is ideal for a range of activities, from outdoor fitness classes to weddings and special events. Overlooking the courtyard, the expansive roof terraces provide additional space for outdoor living. One section of the terrace is designated for an outdoor cinema, complete with comfortable seating and ambient lighting—ideal for private screenings under the stars. Another section features a rooftop spin studio equipped with numerous bikes, catering to those seeking a fitness retreat or simply wanting to enjoy a spin session while taking in the beautiful surroundings.

The fitness and wellness facilities continue throughout this luxurious property. Opening out to the courtyard is a spacious yoga studio and a separate gym packed with top-of-the-rage Technogym equipment, weights, boxing pads and more. Post-workout, the Juice Bar offers a delicious range of healthy refreshments in a relaxed setting overlooking the neighbouring golf course.

For moments of profound relaxation, the luxurious private spa beckons. Guests can indulge in a range of treatments in private rooms, rejuvenate in the indoor heated pool, or unwind in the sauna and steam room.

The villa itself is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, seamlessly blending sophisticated interiors with the natural beauty of its Andalusian surroundings. Every indoor space has been thoughtfully curated to provide ultimate comfort and sophistication while maximising natural light. From the bright lounge areas with their high ceilings and bi-fold doors to the private restaurant, which boasts both indoor and outdoor seating with spectacular views across the rolling hills, to the sparkling sea beyond, there are plenty of spaces for relaxing and socialising.

The villa sleeps up to 32 guests in its 14 well-appointed bedrooms, each offering plush furnishings and en-suite facilities. The main villa features nine bedrooms across its three floors, most of which have private terraces or balconies. Additionally, there is a separate studio suite with its own living room and kitchenette, as well as a tranquil courtyard. The guest house is home to the remaining four bedrooms, all of which open onto the main courtyard.

Whether seeking an opulent family holiday, a transformative health & wellness retreat, or a stunning venue for a destination wedding, The Sanctuary Marbella transcends expectations.

About the area

The Sanctuary Marbella is located in the peaceful neighbourhood of Los Flamingos, just 10 minutes’ drive from the beautiful beaches of Spain’s Costa del Sol. This prestigious gated community, nestled in the rolling hills between Marbella and Estepona, is renowned for its peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking panoramic views.

While the villa is set back in the serene hills, a beautiful stretch of the New Golden Mile coastline is just a short drive away. Nearby Playa de Guadalmansa is a wide, sandy beach ideal for quiet strolls and water sports, such as kitesurfing. Further along the coast is the expansive Playa del Saladillo, a local favourite with fine sand, shallow waters, and several chiringuitos (beach bars) offering fresh seafood and a laidback vibe.

The area is a haven for golf enthusiasts, as the villa overlooks the Anantara Villa Padierna Palace. This opulent hotel boasts three championship golf courses – Flamingos, Alferini, and Tramores – all set against a stunning backdrop of natural beauty.

While it enjoys a peaceful setting away from the crowds, the villa is just a short drive from the glamorous area of Puerto Banus, offering a world of fine dining, haute couture shopping, and vibrant nightlife.
