Villa, Manilva

Set on an elevated plot in La Paloma, this villa has one of the better views you'll find on the western Costa del Sol. On a clear day you can see all the way to North Africa. It's a genuinely impressive setting, and the house has been designed to make the most of it.

The living space comes to around 560 m², with large windows throughout that bring in plenty of light and keep the view front and centre from almost every room. Inside and outside flow naturally into each other, which works well for the way most people actually want to live here.

The main house has four bedrooms, all en-suite. On the garden level there's a self-contained guest apartment with its own entrance, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom and kitchen. Useful if you have family visiting regularly or simply want the flexibility.

For outdoor living, the main terrace covers 150 m² and leads to an infinity pool that lines up perfectly with the sea. A bioclimatic pergola with outdoor kitchen completes the picture, and in a climate like this it gets used year-round.

The villa also has a gym, hammam and a cinema room with bar. Parking covers four cars in total, split between a garage and a covered carport.

La Paloma is a quiet, established area just minutes from Sotogrande, with Valderrama, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande and La Reserva all nearby. The marina, beaches and international school are all within easy reach.

Now reduced from €3,399,000 to €2,900,000 this is a serious property in a location that rarely sees anything at this level come to market.
