Villa Anja

Wide, modern doors beckon you into Villa Anja, a modern home with Spanish heart and Scandinavian soul. Indeed, as soon as you step foot inside the villa, blonde-wood floors fan out and throughout the home, setting the tone for this lovely villa: a distinct Northern-European contemporary style, bathed in the breath-taking views, warm weather, and even warmer hospitality of the Costa del Sol.

Villa Anja is a getaway made for large, multi-generational families or friends traveling together: Filled with plenty of living spaces, outdoor respites, and secluded spots, the villa affords spaces for both time together and for privacy.

The focal point of the formal living is the real log fire, around which sit an oversized, overstuffed wraparound grey sofa and chair, complemented by designer red accent chairs, modern art, a contemporary coffee table, and a flat-screen television. A balcony overlooks the living room, and offers an office space perfect for catching up on your email.

Additional living space is located outdoors, by the pool, and in the games room (see ‘Relaxing’).

The villa’s indoor eating space offers a contemporary glass table and white leather chairs with seating for 8 – the picture-perfect Scandinavian dining area.

The kitchen mirrors the dining room: Sleek and modern all around, this German-designed kitchen by Nolte offers Silestone white worktops, white cabinetry and backsplash, integrated ovens, and an American-style fridge/freezer. It is fully equipped for 24 covers.

The kitchen leads out to the dining terrace overlooking the pool, where there is a dining table for 8 by the pool, and another table for 8 on the terrace.

Villa Anja was designed for relaxation, both outdoors and in. Outside, beneath the warm Spanish sun and in view of Marbella and the Mediterranean, palms and sunbeds dot the spacious terrace and surround an unusually large pool – 16 metres (52.5 feet) long and perfect for swimming laps. Shaded areas offer lounger and sofa seating. There is dining for 8 at the pool and on the terrace.

Shifting indoors, Villa Anja is a spa-lover’s dream: Welcome to your own, private retreat, complete with a small heated pool, hot tub, his-and-hers shower and Swedish sauna. And, should you like to work up a sweat the hard way, there are also some exercise machines.

The hub for family fun is located in the basement-level games and entertainment room, which offers a bar and pool table, as well as a large sofa, leather side chairs, and an entertainment area equipped with large-screen television and blackout blinds. Just adjacent, a cosy children’s corner offers its own sofa, bean bags, table, and kid-sized stools.
