The space
In the garden is a small 3m x 2m mini home gym. It is basic, just a few free weights, adjustable bench, push up / pull up station, but it saves the hassle and expense of a gym membership, but there is a great gym a few hundred meters away if you prefer. Of course there's Padel club, about 1km away which is a bit like
Some people don't like air con (ours is brand new) so we have installed in a few of the bedrooms with quiet running fans that create a welcome draft, without the potential of irritation for some with air con. It's also great for wafting away any mosquitos whilst you sleep. However, if you don't like air con if you chill the room before bed with the windows and curtains closed the temperature remains quite constant giving as lovely nights sleep.
The villa is alarmed with Verisure, the largest company in it's sector in Europe. You only need a fob to activate, no complex numbers and if you have a quiery the local rep is around in hours, or you can talk to them directly via a house speaker, they speak fluent English and Spanish. Have an emergency, press the SOS button and they are there or they can call the police, ambulance or fire brigade for you. There's 4 internal PIR cameras, lounge, hall, landing and pub. You leave the chrome lens flap open and if a PIR is activated when you are out (when the alarm is set) 5 pics are taken by the PIR internal camera and sent direct to Verisure HQ. Or simply slide it the chrome lens cover closed, either way the actual alarm will still work when activated and a Versiure Guard will attend.
There is beautiful outside lighting that creates the most gorgeous scenes in all of the gardens. In addition the house has 360 degree security lighting. It's motion activated so any potential foolish intruder will be illuminated as if they are on stage... that's if they actually got over the thorny bushes that surround the perimeter. However, it's always best to keep your valuables in the safe, just in case someone leaves the gate and front door open.
It is a very safe property. There is at least one intelligent smoke alarm in every room, hall, stairs and landing with integrated emergency lighting. In the very unlikely event there's a fire when you are out Verisure are contacted and they send the fire brigade.
A king bed and a sofa bed are in the attached apartment. It’s great if a few of the group like a little extra privacy.. or you want to lock the teens away.
Guest access
Perfectly located between the port and Aloha. So central yet the villa is surrounded by green tranquility. As many bars, restaurants, golf courses, beaches, retail outlets, pool clubs as you like all within walking distance, or a 2 min taxi (especially for ladies in heels as there are hills in Banus/Marbella!). Supermarket 2 mins, local restaurants 2 mins, a lively Saturday and Sunday market on the doorstep. We are ultra central yet surrounded and look onto greenery.
The Golden Mile is a 5 min taxi/drive with the five star Puente Romano hotel offering upmarket nightlife-restaurants Nobu, Serafina, Bibo to name a few, and the stunning Suite nightclub. There are so many stunning venues, the list goes on, This area and location of the villa is unbeatable. So central to enjoy all Puerto Banus and Marbella have to offer, yet slightly set back from the port to avoid (traffic) noise/being disturbed.
Beaches, golf, tennis, shopping (including the Spanish version of Harrods-El Court Ingles) the port, casual and fine dining, bars, clubs and the pool and beach clubs Mogli, Ocean Club, Sala Beach, Nomad, Mosh, Plaza Beach and Nao are all walking distance.
We are close to everything and can be walked within 5 - 10 mins or a couple of mins in a taxi, yet we are set back enough from the port and nightlife that when you close the gate it is tranquil with stunning views. All amenities are extremely close by. You do not need a car.
The villa has it all. If you want to be in the centre of it all we are perfectly located. If you want to have your own fun in the pub, cinema area, pool, gardens and terraces you can.

Location
The villa is in a fantastic and centrally located in a cul de sac at the end the road one way in and one way out. You can park on the drive or directly outside. There are cameras all around the villa providing peace of mind. There are CCTV cameras inside the communal areas. However, we do not have access to them, only the CCTV company when an alarm is triggered, but you do have the option of simply sliding the lens cover closed and no images can be taken by the alarm company but the PIR and alarm will still work. It's a simple fob to arm and disarm and you just offer the fob up to the control box at the front door. We are the closest villa to Central Plaza and have stunning views with Aloha to one side with an abundance of bars, restaurants and pool clubs, numerous golf courses. The port and beach the other. Looking from the front is Campana and to the back is Marbella East and Marbella Old Town.... great to visit by boat from Puerto Banus for around €10
Beaches, golf, tennis, shopping (including the Spanish version of Harrods-El Court Ingles) the port, casual and fine dining, bars, clubs and the pool and beach clubs Mogli, Ocean Club, Sala Beach, Plaza Beach and Nao are all walking distance. We are close to everything and can be walked within 5 - 10 mins or a couple of mins in a taxi, yet we are set back enough from the port and nightlife that when you close the gate it is tranquil with stunning views. All amenities are extremely close by. You do not need a car, but please remember Puerto Banus and Marbella has a few banks to walk up, the cost of living next to beautiful mountains, so fast shoes to walk may need to be taken out too ladies!
