The New Golden Mile is one of those addresses on the Costa del Sol that spark the imagination. It is on this strip of coastline, stretching between Estepona and Marbella, that sits a unique villa with direct access to the sea and Playa del Saladillo. It is surrounded by sand dunes, Mediterranean greenery and a spectacular view that stretches from Gibraltar to the African coast and the top of La Concha.

The villa’s architecture is in conscious dialogue with its captivating surroundings. Large floor-to-ceiling windows, open floor plans, seamless transitions between the interior and terraces – every element has been designed so that the sea is always present in the interior. On the first floor of the villa are the kitchen and living room with a separate dining area, finished with premium materials and furnished with furniture of modern aesthetics. It is also here that a private spa area with a heated indoor pool and sauna is located – a space for those for whom taking care of their well-being is part of their daily routine, not just a one-time pleasure.

The villa has five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and views of the Mediterranean Sea. A comfortable rooftop terrace has been arranged with numerous lounging areas and a Jacuzzi, from where the Costa del Sol panorama is perfectly visible. A garden with a large pool and direct access to the beach is a rare amenity that water sports and beach relaxation enthusiasts will appreciate. A 7-minute drive away is the charming, quiet town of San Pedro with a full range of services, stores and restaurants. A little farther away, about a 10-minute drive, lies Puerto Banús, a lively town with a beautiful marina and upscale boutiques.

This villa is for those who have always dreamed of a house by the sea – not near the sea, not with a view of the sea from behind several rows of buildings, but literally steps from the beach.
