About this property
Situated just steps from Marbella’s golden sands, this spectacular beachfront estate offers an idyllic retreat for those looking to escape and enjoy a memorable break whilst making the most of the Mediterranean sun.
Sitting within an extensive private plot, Palace by the Sea enjoys a secluded setting with immaculate grounds stretching to the seashore. Constructed in the traditional Moorish style, the imposing villa is an architectural masterpiece, with a typical whitewashed facade and shimmering emerald roof tiles that harmonise with the lush, landscaped surroundings.
A cobbled entrance courtyard dotted with manicured trees and shrubs creates an impressive welcome, whilst a beautiful Moorish front door sets the scene for what's to come. Stepping inside, guests will be captured by the unique beauty, with sweeping interior rooms flooded with natural light and towering ceilings that create a sense of grandeur. All the rooms have been exquisitely furnished, with lavish decor that marries luxury with tradition. A central living room has ample space for everyone, with a series of arched openings that frame views out to the garden. Curated objects and artworks add to the charm and character, and guests choose from several seating areas to relax over conversation or be entertained by the gentle sound of the piano. Looking over an interior courtyard, a neighbouring room features a generous dining table with room to seat 18, perfect for celebrating an occasion and sharing entertaining meals.
Arranged between the main house and guest house, there are 15 bedrooms in total and five additional staff rooms in a separate service quarter. Each room is beautifully presented, with large, comfortable beds and opulent furnishings that ensure a truly luxurious experience. Several of the rooms look out onto the Sea, whilst others have an outlook over the flourishing garden.
On the ground floor of the main house, a wellness area features a gym and sauna, whilst an impressive home cinema room is perfect for evening entertainment. There is also a well-stocked wine cellar waiting to be enjoyed.
Large openings offer a unique perspective from each room whilst giving multiple access points to the grounds. A series of charming terraces invite guests to sit together, or why not escape for a moment of solitude and wander between vibrant planting and verdant lawns, capturing glimpses out to the clear blue sea? A fantastic pool area is ideal for making the most of the sunny days, enjoying a refreshing dip, or simply reclining in one of the nearby loungers. The pool house features several full bathrooms for guests' convenience and an outdoor kitchenette perfect for a midday snack.
Soothing fountains and ornate lanterns reflect the Moorish history, whilst different pockets of seating can be found around the grounds for guests to enjoy. Relax in a swinging chair to sip your morning coffee, or head to the main terrace to enjoy an entertaining evening together beneath the stars. With its enviable location, spacious layout, and spectacular design, Palace by the Sea offers the ultimate luxury, creating the perfect place to escape for a memorable occasion.
Occupying a privileged beachfront position, Palace by the Sea offers the perfect place to enjoy a sunny escape without having to step outside the grounds, whilst direct access to the beach ensures that guests are just moments from the sea, inviting you to make the most of the beautiful Mediterranean setting.
For those looking to explore, golden sands stretch up and down the surrounding coast, and you can stroll along the shoreline, dipping your toes in the lapping waves. Swim in the clear, blue water or grab a snorkel to explore what lies beneath the surface. Various water and sports activities can be arranged, or you can head out on a boat to enjoy the picturesque coastline from a different perspective.
Marbella has plenty to enjoy, with its animated town brimming with arts and culture. Wander through the older quarter to discover the rich Moorish history, and stop off at the Plaza de los Naranjos to enjoy a drink on the terrace whilst soaking up the lively atmosphere. The Golden Mile boasts several Michelin restaurants, where you can sit and admire beautiful ocean views whilst enjoying regional cuisine and delicious plates of fresh seafood. Further along the coast, the glamorous Puerto Banús is also worth a visit, with its impressive marina filled with yachts and sailboats. Wander through the streets lined with fashion boutiques and exclusive galleries, or stop for a leisurely lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants. Puerto Banús also boasts a lively nightlife with bars and clubs along the Calle Riberia, inviting you to dance through until the early hours.
Whilst the coast has plenty to enjoy, why not explore the picturesque mountain landscape inland? Spend the day hiking one of the well-marked trails, exploring the rugged terrain and diverse plant life, or opt for a more challenging route up to one of the summits from which you will be rewarded with panoramic views stretching back to the coast.
The warm climate makes the area popular with sports enthusiasts and numerous golf and country clubs nearby. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon round on one of the immaculately kept fairways, or visit the nearby padel courts to spend a fun few hours playing this fast-rising game. All the clubs feature quality bars and restaurants, perfect for a post-match drink whilst sitting out on a sun-soaked terrace.
