Villa Lujo Alma | 7-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Marbella
Holiday Home Rental Description
Marbella’s most coveted addresses demand more than location—they demand space, sophistication, and the kind of infrastructure that transforms a holiday into something genuinely transformative. Villa Lujo Alma delivers exactly this: a sprawling luxury villa rental in Marbella that accommodates fourteen guests across seven generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, set within 1,122 square metres of manicured gardens and contemporary architecture that earned Spain’s Best Design and Architecture Award in 2021.
Inside Villa Lujo Alma
Villa Lujo Alma sleeps 14 guests across 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms—a configuration that matters when you’re bringing three generations or two families under one roof. Every bedroom features a double bed dressed in luxury linens, with private shower and bathroom facilities. The main residence spans 448 square metres across multiple levels, connected by a working lift that eliminates the friction of stairs with luggage or mobility considerations.
The entry level reveals an expansive open-plan living and dining area where a retractable projector screen descends from concealed housing, transforming the space for evening entertainment. Vast sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and the terrace beyond. The kitchen commands attention here—a contemporary workspace centred around a substantial island unit, finished in white cabinetry with black bar seating and granite countertops. This is the kind of kitchen that absorbs the energy of group cooking without anyone feeling cramped; a food blender, dishwasher, and full complement of preparation surfaces mean breakfast for fourteen becomes orchestrated rather than chaotic.
A second living room occupies a separate wing, accessed via its own entry point. Floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooks an internal courtyard garden; a wall-mounted television streams Disney+, HBO, and Amazon Prime Video. Desk space here transforms the room into an impromptu office for anyone needing to handle work calls or emails without abandoning the group entirely.
The dedicated reading room—rarely found in large group villas—offers genuine refuge: comfortable seating, natural light through garden-facing windows, desk space for correspondence, and direct access to the terrace. This matters for couples within larger groups, or guests who simply need an hour of solitude.
The fitness room occupies its own dedicated space: free weights, stationary bike, yoga mat, heavy boxing bag, wall-mounted television, and lounge seating. Nothing is makeshift or apologetic here; this is a genuine gym studio separated from living spaces.
All seven bedrooms feature double beds and private en-suite bathroom facilities with shower enclosures. Storage is substantial—not an afterthought—with fitted wardrobes throughout. The bedrooms themselves vary in size and aspect; some capture southern light and garden views, others face the more sheltered northern terrace side.
Utilities extend throughout: air conditioning and heating regulate temperature year-round, while Wi-Fi covers every corner without dead zones. A hydrogenated water system filters drinking water at point-of-use. The property includes a cot, travel cot, and highchair for infant guests, with baby bath, baby monitor, bath toys, and changing mat supplied. Children’s books occupy a shelf in the reading room.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
Fourteen guests need space to scatter and regroup—Villa Lujo Alma’s 1,122-square-metre grounds accomplish this through deliberate zoning. The main private saltwater pool occupies the southern garden, surrounded by daybeds angled toward the sun. This is where mornings dissolve into midday; conversations drift between swimmers and loungers without anyone feeling excluded.
The rooftop terrace introduces vertical living: a heated pool (please review specific terms and conditions for operation), outdoor shower where you rinse chlorine under Andalucian sky, daybeds for sunset watching, a food preparation area, and substantial shaded seating that accommodates evening gatherings without exposure. The heated pool here makes shoulder-season swimming feasible from April through October.
A Japanese hot bath and cold plunge occupy a dedicated wellness corner of the rooftop—the kind of temperature contrast that sharpens morning alertness or eases evening tension. A sauna provides further thermal variation. These three facilities in sequence create a genuine spa experience without resort crowds.
The outdoor kitchen contains a gas barbecue with full utensil provision, positioned alongside the shaded dining area. Here, meals prepared from local markets transition seamlessly from preparation to plate to table without anyone abandoning the group to retrieve forgotten items or fetch seconds.
Gardens surrounding the property feature mature trees and lush plantings that create visual privacy from neighbours while establishing distinct zones—a reading corner near the house, a swimming area, a sunbathing expanse, a quiet corner where children can play without constant oversight from every window.
Practical considerations: parking provision includes dedicated spaces and additional on-street parking for multiple vehicle arrivals. An EV charging point is available (enquire for specific setup and activation). A security system protects the property during absence periods or overnight.
Location: Marbella and the Surrounding Area
Marbella occupies the Andalucian coast 6 kilometres from the Mediterranean, instantly positioning Villa Lujo Alma within reach of both urban sophistication and natural coastline. The town itself has transformed from fishing village to international address, retaining sufficient character that it doesn’t feel entirely synthetic.
The Old Town (Casco Antiguo) sits 4 kilometres south, a labyrinth of whitewashed streets where independent boutiques and family-run tapas bars occupy 16th-century buildings. The Plaza de los Naranjos, the historic heart, hosts seasonal markets and evening promenades. Mercado Central de Atarazanas lies 8 kilometres toward Málaga, the region’s primary food market where fishmongers, cheese vendors, and produce sellers set daily rhythms that predate tourism entirely.
Iglesia de Encarnación, the 18th-century parish church transformed from a Moorish mosque, stands 3 kilometres from the villa—a physical record of the region’s layered religious and cultural history, accessible during morning or late-afternoon visits when light enters through original arched windows.
Los Naranjos Golf Club, approximately 22 kilometres west, hosts an 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and has staged the Spanish Open. The course demands genuine skill while providing views across the coastline toward Gibraltar and North Africa. Equipment rental and professional instruction are available for guests unfamiliar with the course.
Beaches vary by distance and character: Playa de Marbella occupies the immediate town foreshore (5 kilometres south), whereas quieter coves at Cala de Mijas (12 kilometres east) and Playa del Secreto (18 kilometres east) offer smaller, less crowded swimming. Water excursions and boat trips depart from Puerto Banús marina (8 kilometres west), where charter companies offer half-day and full-day itineraries along the Málaga and Almería coasts.
Málaga itself sits 52 kilometres southwest along the coast—approximately 55 minutes by car. The city merits a full day: the Picasso Museum occupies the restored Buenavista Palace; the Cathedral and Royal Alcázar preserve 16th-century grandeur; the Mercado Atarazanas market sprawls across a former shipyard. The Port of Málaga developed alongside recent urban regeneration now features upmarket dining and evening paseo (leisurely strolls) where locals and visitors intermingle. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) sits 45 kilometres south, approximately 45 minutes’ transfer time to Villa Lujo Alma by road.

Seasonal considerations: May through June and September through October offer warmest sea temperatures (20-24°C) with moderate daily heat (25-28°C). July and August peak at 35°C with minimal rainfall but maximum crowds. Winter months (December-February) provide 12-15°C swimming conditions and afternoon temperatures around 16°C, suitable for walking and exploring rather than swimming. Spring wildflowers flourish April through May across the Sierra Blanca foothills visible from the villa’s rooftop.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Large families spanning three generations benefit most from Villa Lujo Alma’s structure: teenagers occupy separate bedrooms without forced socialization, grandparents command quiet reading rooms and spa facilities, young children access dedicated play spaces and family-appropriate pools. The inclusion of cots, highchairs, and baby monitoring equipment signals genuine family consideration rather than afterthought accommodation.
Two families traveling together (eight to fourteen people) find the space generous without feeling labyrinthine. The separate second living room allows one family to watch different television content while others use the main space. Multiple bathrooms eliminate morning queuing—a practical consideration most planning tools overlook.
Groups of friends celebrating milestones benefit from the entertainment infrastructure: projector screens for shared movie evenings, outdoor kitchen facilitating group cooking, rooftop entertaining space where sunset cocktails accommodate twelve or more people comfortably. The sauna and cold plunge appeal to groups prioritizing wellness and recovery alongside social gathering.
Couples seeking multi-family holidays (bringing along adult children or close friends) value the ability to maintain privacy within shared space: the reading room, separate living area, and subdivided bedroom locations allow each couple genuine autonomy without isolation.
