Marbella & the Costa del Sol

Europe's most glamorous coast — Zagaleta, the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús

Marbella has been the benchmark for Mediterranean luxury since the 1950s when Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe established the Marbella Club and drew the European aristocracy south. Seventy years later it remains the most consistently demanding luxury market on the Spanish coast, and our collection of 800+ Marbella properties reflects every dimension of that demand. La Zagaleta — the most exclusive gated estate in Europe, 900 hectares of hunting ground converted into a private residential community accessible only to members and their guests — is where our finest Marbella properties sit: mansions of 2,000 square metres with panoramic Mediterranean views, private pools, home cinemas, wine cellars and helipads, sleeping up to twenty guests with a full staff in residence.

The Golden Mile places you between the Marbella Club and Puerto Banús, with the finest beach clubs, Michelin-starred restaurants (Skina, Messina, Dani García) and designer boutiques within walking distance. Sierra Blanca and Los Monteros offer hillside villas with the entire coast laid out below. Benahavís — the most gastronomically celebrated village in southern Spain with more restaurants per capita than anywhere in the country — is fifteen minutes inland through the mountains. Our concierge arranges private golf at Valderrama, day trips to Ronda's clifftop gorge, and private flamenco evenings in Seville — two hours from your villa door.

Ibiza & the Balearic Islands

The White Island — and Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera

Ibiza contains two entirely distinct holiday propositions that most platforms describe as one. The first is the Ibiza of Ushuaïa, Pacha and — the world's most celebrated club circuit, best experienced from a villa in San José or above Talamanca with a concierge who holds the right relationships. The second is the Ibiza of whitewashed fincas in the pine forests of the island's quiet north and east — Sant Joan de Labritja, Santa Eulària, the secluded coves near Cala Xarraca — where the sunsets are the finest in the western Mediterranean and the silence is extraordinary. Our collection covers both. Our concierge understands which you want.

Mallorca is the largest and most varied of the Balearics — the Tramuntana mountain range (UNESCO World Heritage) dropping to dramatic coves in the north, the medieval streets of Palma's old city, the stone estates of Deià and Sóller where Robert Graves lived and where the resident creative community has never fully left. Our Mallorca collection is particularly strong for families — private villas with multiple pools, tennis courts and boat jetties above beaches accessible only from the water. Menorca offers the same turquoise water with half the crowds and a quieter, more authentic Balearic character. Formentera — a 25-minute ferry from Ibiza — has the finest beach water in Spain.

Costa Brava & Barcelona

Catalan coves, Dalí country and the world's most dynamic food city

The Costa Brava is the most underrated luxury coast in Spain — and the one most consistently overlooked by platforms that focus exclusively on the Balearics and Marbella. The coastline from Calella de Palafrugell to Cadaqués — where Salvador Dalí built his extraordinary house in Portlligat and where the Cap de Creus headland creates a peninsula of wild rocky coves accessible only by private boat — is among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. Rent a modernist villa above Begur, where pine forests and the scent of wild herbs run to cliff edges above Aiguablava, and you will understand why Catalan architects have been building their most experimental private houses here since the 1930s.

Barcelona is unique in our collection: a city where the architecture is as extraordinary as any villa, and where a masia (Catalan farmhouse) in the hills above the city gives you Gaudí's Sagrada Família, the Boqueria market and the restaurants of the Eixample within thirty minutes, while returning each evening to a private pool in the foothills of the Collserola. Our concierge arranges private evening tours of Park Güell and Palau de la Música Catalana — concerts and architectural masterpieces that most visitors see only in crowds.

Andalucía & the Canary Islands

Flamenco, cortijos and volcanic Atlantic drama — year-round

Andalucía is the soul of Spain and the most culturally distinctive villa holiday destination in the country. A cortijo — the whitewashed Andalucían farmhouse estate of five to fifty bedrooms set in olive groves and almond orchards — is the defining Spanish rural property, and our Andalucían collection includes estates near Ronda (the most dramatically situated city in Spain, built on a gorge 120 metres above a river), the wine estates of Jerez, the Moorish city of Granada with the Alhambra visible at dawn from your terrace, and the White Villages of the interior — Arcos, Vejer, Zahara de la Sierra — that have no architectural equal in southern Europe. Tarifa, at the southernmost tip of continental Europe, is Europe's finest kitesurfing destination with Morocco visible across the Strait on a clear morning.

The Canary IslandsLanzarote's extraordinary volcanic landscape of black lava fields and César Manrique's architecture, Tenerife's Mount Teide (Spain's highest peak), Gran Canaria's sand dunes and year-round warmth, Fuerteventura's Atlantic surf — offer something no other Spanish destination does: genuine winter sun, week after week, in properties with private pools. Our Canary Islands collection is among the fastest-growing in our portfolio, attracting guests who have exhausted the Mediterranean and want somewhere warmer, stranger and less crowded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best area in Spain for a luxury villa rental?
It depends entirely on what you want. Marbella and La Zagaleta lead for Mediterranean glamour, privacy and the finest year-round infrastructure of restaurants, beach clubs and golf. Ibiza is unmatched for the combination of world-class nightlife and beautiful west-coast sunsets from a private finca. Mallorca suits families best — the Tramuntana mountains, calm northern coves and excellent restaurants without Ibiza's party scene. The Costa Brava offers wild Catalan coastline with Michelin-starred dining and Dalí's surrealist landscape. Andalucía is the most culturally distinctive — cortijos, flamenco, sherry, the Alhambra. The Canary Islands are the only Spanish destination with genuine winter sun.
Is Ibiza only for nightlife, or is it also good for a quiet family holiday?
Ibiza has two entirely different faces and we know both well. The south and west of the island — San Antonio, Playa d'en Bossa, the areas around the clubs — is where the nightlife is concentrated. The north and east of the island — Sant Joan de Labritja, Santa Eulària, the quiet coves near Portinatx and Cala Xarraca — is genuinely peaceful, with beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants serving local fish and vegetables, and a community of artists and creatives who have lived quietly there for decades. We have properties in both areas and always ask which version of Ibiza our guests are looking for.
Can I rent a luxury villa in Spain in winter?
Yes — and Spain is one of the best European countries for winter villa holidays. Marbella and the Costa del Sol average 320 days of sunshine annually, with mild temperatures throughout winter. The Canary Islands — Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gran Canaria — offer genuinely warm weather year-round and are excellent in December, January and February. Ibiza and Mallorca are quieter in winter but still accessible, and several of our island properties have heated pools. The ski resorts of the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada are also within reach of our Barcelona and Granada properties respectively.
What is La Zagaleta and why are its villas so exclusive?
La Zagaleta is a 900-hectare private residential estate in the hills above Marbella — Europe's most exclusive gated community. It was originally a private hunting ground, converted in the early 1990s into a community of approximately 230 private villas, two 18-hole golf courses, a helipad and a clubhouse. Access is restricted to residents and invited guests only; there are no hotels and no public access roads. Our Zagaleta villas range from six to twelve bedrooms with private pools, gyms, home cinemas, wine cellars and professional kitchens. Staff including private chefs and housekeepers are arranged through our concierge.
What exclusive experiences does the concierge arrange in Spain?
Private golf at Valderrama and La Zagaleta's own courses. Private flamenco evenings with tablao performers in historic Seville venues. Sailing charters from Ibiza to Formentera's secluded southern beaches. La Rioja and Ribera del Duero private wine tastings at estates not open to the public. Helicopter transfers between Marbella and Ibiza. Private morning tours of the Alhambra before day visitors arrive. Kitesurfing instruction at Tarifa's finest schools with private instruction. Hot air ballooning over Ronda's gorge at dawn. Private cooking classes with Basque chefs in San Sebastián — within easy reach of our Basque Country properties.
