This palatial pad in an absolutely stunning location has it all – tennis court, spa, indoor and outdoor pools, Jacuzzi, cinema, gym and it sleeps 22. There is a full team including butler on hand if you wish to make your stay extra relaxing, we always say include breakfast and every other supper as a minimum.
We love the private beach, poolside bar for cocktails, luxury amenities by Jo Malone and Hermes and each bedroom is a suite.

Big, bold and very, very beautiful it’s no exaggeration to say that Villa Los Patios is one of the very finest large villas in the whole of Spain.
Why? Well, there’s the ultra-exclusive front row Marbella beach location, the atmospheric Al-Andalus inspired house and the grand, neo-Moorish interiors studded with every imaginable luxurious facility.
Then there’s the garden. Lush and tropical in feel with a stunning pool surrounded by lawns and waving palm trees, it runs right down to the sand and the rolling waves beyond. And it’s absolutely spectacular.

This large villa in central Spain sleeps +29 people across its 14 enormous ensuite rooms. But size is far from the only thing this sprawling gated country estate has got going for it.
The list of facilities reads like a rollcall of ultra-luxury villa must-haves. Private spa? Check. Range of sports and outdoor pursuits to choose from? Check. Full complement of staff and catering laid on? Check and check. Oh, and did we mention it also comes with its own private runway and helipad?
Beyond the 7,400 acres of grounds, there are views fit for a king, with the mile after mile of the wooded hills of central Spain stretching away in every direction. Simply stunning.

Spread out across seven different ‘pods’ separated by a huge pool and a virtual forest of swaying palms, Villa Karima looks for all the world like a small hamlet as much as a large villa. First impressions can be deceptive, though, as while this ultra-luxury property in Sotogrande is undoubtedly on the range-y side, it’s not remotely impersonal.
The beauty of the place is that, in contrast to its size and, frankly, pretty staggering list of facilities, it’s full of intimate corners and Moroccan interiors notes that provide the necessary design touches. It all comes together to create a truly remarkable space.

Set into stunning Cantabrian countryside just outside Santander city (which you can visit via the villas own boat), Villa Bahia sleeps 17 and is a favourite with our guests. It has a full spa including indoor pool, home cinema, heated pool and padel tennis court.
If we had to pick out one thing that made it truly special, it has to be the setting – it’s located just a few minutes’ drive from the Northern coastline, inside an area known as Ribamontan al Mar, where surfing first came to Spain.

With its five range-y ensuite rooms plus a standalone two-bedroom apartment, this villa in the exclusive gated enclave of El Madroñal can comfortably accommodate a group of up to 26.
Water – and its relaxing powers – are very much a central theme here: as well as the outdoor swimming pool, there’s the small matter of a private spa with a super-sized Jacuzzi, sauna and heated indoor pool. Shoulder season heaven, basically.
