South-facing living spaces refurbished in 2024

The main floor is arranged around a large living and dining room with high ceilings, a fireplace and polished marble floors, while floor-to-ceiling sliding windows run the length of the south façade to open the house onto the pool. This 5 bedroom detached villa in Marbella sits in the beachside residential area of Marbesa and provides 421 m² of built area. A complete refurbishment finished in October 2024 means the property is handed over with unlived-in systems and surfaces. Next to the main room sits a separate dining room and a glazed gallery used as a second sitting area, giving a household three distinct daytime spaces rather than a single open room. The kitchen is built to measure around a curved island, fitted with integrated appliances and a stone worktop.

Five bedrooms, a lower-floor gym and a second kitchen

Across the house there are five bedrooms and six bathrooms in total, with four bedrooms arranged en suite. The main bedroom has a large separate dressing room fitted with glazed units and interior lighting, alongside a bathroom with a double washbasin, a bath and a walk-in shower. Having four en-suite rooms means guests or older children do not share bathroom doors in the hallway. Down on the lower floor, the layout provides a fully equipped gym, a leisure area and a second independent kitchen. That second kitchen makes the lower level practical for catering near the leisure room or for guests who keep different hours from the rest of the house. A double garage connects directly to the lower floor, so you bring shopping or luggage indoors without stepping outside.

A 776 m² plot arranged around the south-facing pool

The house stands on a 776 m² plot where the outdoor space is organised around the private pool on the sunny south side of the building. Because the built area is generous relative to the land, the grounds are set up as a low-maintenance perimeter garden rather than wide lawns that need weekly mowing. Immediately outside the sliding windows there is a sun terrace for loungers and a covered dining area, which gives essential shade during the middle of the day in summer.

Energy systems and the Marbesa street layout

The October 2024 work went beyond surface finishes to replace the mechanical systems. Heating and cooling run through full air conditioning, underfloor heating on the main floor, and gas radiators, a combination rarely found in coastal houses that usually rely on air vents alone. Roof-mounted photovoltaic panels make the house energy self-sufficient, supported by a water purification system, biometric entry and intelligent video surveillance. For anyone comparing a 5 bedroom detached villa in Marbella, the immediate surroundings in Marbesa are flat and quiet. The plot lies some three hundred metres from Marbesa beach and its beach bar, so you walk to the sea on level ground. By car, the shops at Elviria and the marina at Cabopino are five minutes away, the centre of Marbella takes fifteen minutes, and Málaga airport is thirty-five minutes along the coast road.
