Showpiece Homes, Luxury Living… and Gifts

Let’s dream for a moment. So we’ve come into a considerable amount of money – winning the lottery, receiving an inheritance from a multi-millionaire long-lost aunty, selling our internet start-up company – and we want to share that joy with a loved one by buying them a new home in the Mediterranean sun. With Christmas looming, and “Los Reyes” shortly after (when our Spanish friends traditionally exchange gifts), we decided it was the perfect time to dip into Villa Marbella Now’s Santa sack and suggest five apartment options that would make a fantastic gift for someone who has always wanted to have a holiday home in the incomparable sun-blessed surroundings of southern Spain, or even move here permanently, but who has struggled to put together the funds. All the properties featured here are excellently priced below €1 million and are located in different areas of the Coast, from east to west – prime residential estates with all the main attractions of modern luxury living. Benalmádena: Located 110 metres above sea level in a luxurious and tranquil complex with magnificent sub-tropical gardens, this penthouse overlooks Golf Torrequebrada and offers breathtaking views over the sea from Sierra Nevada to Fuengirola Bay (€950,000). Marbella: This elegant apartment is situated in a luxury complex with 24-hour security and only 23 units, just a few minutes from Marbella’s town centre, offering unobstructed views to the sea and a backdrop of the La Concha mountain peak (€950,000). Benahavís: Situated in the exclusive Capanes del Golf residential complex, this property is highlighted by magnificent terraces with panoramic views to the sea, golf course and mountains, with 24-hour security and swimming pools – including one indoor heated pool in the community spa area (€895,000). Estepona: Set in a frontline beach urbanisation, gated and with 24-hour security, this apartment has a large living area leading to a south-west covered terrace, and an en suite master bedroom with private terrace and stunning sea and swimming pool views (€850,000). Sotogrande: Ideal for both sailing enthusiasts and landlubbers, this exceptional penthouse in Sotogrande marina is south-facing and features a 70 square metre terrace, and a solarium with built-in barbecue and decked terrace around the swimming pool – the perfect haven for sunbathing, intimate dining or entertaining family and friends (€695,000). Of course, our lottery windfall or business sale might not have been sufficiently lucrative to afford a new home, so here are some other luxury gift options: for him, Hublot’s limited edition “Spirit of Big Bang for Bruce Lee” watch, commemorating the late martial arts star’s 75th birthday anniversary; and for her, the Lady 8 Flower from Jaquet Droz, featuring mechanical animation in the form of a blossoming lotus flower.
