detached villa in Puerto Banús

This extraordinary frontline beachfront mansion in Puerto Banús is one of the most prestigious and irreplaceable estates on Marbella’s coastline. Positioned on a rare 3,082 m² flat, south-facing plot with direct access to the Mediterranean, the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic sea views, total privacy, and a level of scale and orientation that is increasingly impossible to secure in such a prime location. Blending timeless architecture, cultural provenance, and modern luxury, this is a residence designed for legacy ownership and world-class coastal living.

The villa offers 1,796 m² of total built area, including 1,684 m² of interior living space arranged across three levels and connected by a private elevator for effortless access throughout. Originally built in 1949 and renovated in 1996, the home is defined by generous proportions, high ceilings, and expansive reception areas that flow naturally to terraces and gardens. Floor-to-ceiling openings frame the sea and fill the interiors with natural light, creating a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living. The layout provides multiple bedroom suites and refined entertaining spaces, allowing for both private family living and large-scale hosting.

Outdoor areas are equally impressive. Lush gardens lead directly onto the beach, while a private swimming pool is perfectly aligned with the shoreline, reinforcing the visual connection between sea and sky. Multiple terraces and alfresco zones are designed for entertaining, complemented by a full outdoor kitchen. Above, the rooftop solarium provides a spectacular private retreat with a large jacuzzi, sunbathing areas, and breath-taking 360-degree panoramic views across the Mediterranean, Marbella, and surrounding mountains, ideal for sunset gatherings and year-round enjoyment.

The lower level is dedicated to wellness and leisure, forming a complete private spa and entertainment floor. This includes an indoor swimming pool, steam room, jacuzzi, bar, and lounge area, creating a self-contained sanctuary for relaxation and hosting. Two independent guest houses provide additional accommodation for family, guests, or staff, while the garage is designed for convenience and prestige, featuring parking for eight vehicles and a rotating turntable system to maximise ease of access and manoeuvrability.

Rich in cultural significance, the estate was once owned by renowned flamenco icon Antonio “El Bailarín” Ruiz Soler. Adding to its provenance, Pablo Picasso, a friend of the owner, signed the bottom of the swimming pool in 1961, leaving a rare artistic mark that elevates the property into a true collector’s asset. This blend of history, architecture, and location creates a residence of exceptional character and enduring value.

Situated just moments from Puerto Banús marina, designer boutiques, fine dining, and Marbella’s renowned social scene, the property combines complete beachfront tranquillity with immediate access to world-class amenities. International schools, golf courses, Marbella centre, and Málaga Airport are all within easy reach, making this a uniquely positioned Mediterranean estate for both full-time living and luxury retreat.
