Villa Haven, a sea-view house in Marbella Hill Club

Each of the three floors has its own role, and a lift connects them all. On the main level, the kitchen, with a back kitchen behind it, joins the living and dining areas, and two en-suite guest bedrooms sit alongside; a broad terrace looks down over the garden and pool. The upper floor holds the principal suite, with a dressing room and a terrace of its own, plus another guest suite and a study. Downstairs is for leisure, with an entertainment lounge and bar, a spa with a heated indoor pool and a sauna, a gym and a fifth bedroom.

The Villarroel studio designed the house and Pedro Peña the interiors, using natural stone and glass in clean lines. It occupies a landscaped plot of about 3,560 m² facing south-west, in the gated community of Marbella Hill Club on the hillside a few minutes above the Golden Mile, and looks out openly to the sea and La Concha. Built area is about 848 m², with 392 m² of terraces.
