Villa Tucan | 5-Bedroom Villa in Marbella Nueva Andalucia

A ten-guest sanctuary sits 4 kilometres from Puerto Banus in Marbella’s Nueva Andalucía neighbourhood, where contemporary Scandinavian design meets the Mediterranean climate. Villa Tucan occupies a position between the energy of Spain’s Costa del Sol playground and the quieter mountain backdrop that defines this corner of Andalucía. The villa rises across two levels with direct access to landscaped grounds, a heated swimming pool, and covered terraces that frame southern exposures perfectly for morning coffee or evening aperitivos.

Inside Villa Tucan

Villa Tucan sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, arranged across ground and lower ground floors to maximise privacy and light. The master suite commands the ground level—a king-size bedroom with walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom featuring both a bathtub and dual shower heads, and a private terrace overlooking the valley landscape. This sanctuary includes a dedicated seating alcove and direct terrace access that captures the property’s best southern views.

The ground floor extends beyond the master bedroom to include a substantial living area anchored by a working fireplace, with plush seating arranged for conversation rather than merely viewing. A separate dining zone accommodates ten in formal comfort. The kitchen—the kind of space that transforms reluctant cooks into evening volunteers—spans fully equipped with professional-grade appliances, a breakfast bar for casual dining, and immediate access to outdoor eating areas. An office room addresses the modern reality of remote work, while a guest powder room serves visitors without requiring access to private bedroom spaces.

Below ground, four additional bedrooms create independence for families or groups requiring separation. Two of these rooms feature en-suite bathrooms; all four provide king-size beds and direct patio access. A fully operational gymnasium occupies dedicated space on this level alongside a television room suitable for children, teenagers, or evening entertainment. A laundry room with washing machine and dryer manages the practical realities of hosting ten guests. A family bathroom serves the lower ground sleeping quarters.

Throughout Villa Tucan, technology runs discreetly—Wi-Fi connectivity, air conditioning, underfloor heating on the lower level, a dishwasher for meal cleanup, microwave for convenience, coffee machine for morning rituals, and a Sonos sound system that distributes music across interior and exterior spaces. Netflix streaming arrives pre-loaded. Linen quality reflects the property standard throughout.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden unfolds across two distinct levels, creating multiple zones for different activities and moods. A private swimming pool—heated year-round—occupies the primary entertainment area, surrounded by sun loungers and parasols positioned for full-day sun exposure or shaded rest. The covered terraces extend living beyond interior walls; these structures provide weather protection while maintaining open-air sensation and sightlines to surrounding landscape.

Outdoor dining happens naturally here. A dedicated barbecue area connects to the main terrace, where evening meals transition seamlessly from kitchen to garden. The landscaped sections include mature plantings that provide both privacy from neighbouring properties and visual interest from interior windows. From the master bedroom terrace, the vista expands toward distant mountain ranges—the kind of view that dominates conversation during first evening arrival.

Private parking accommodates one vehicle within the grounds. The covered terraces capture afternoon shade as the sun travels westward, making them ideal for hot-weather retreats during peak summer hours.

Location: Marbella and the Surrounding Area

Villa Tucan positions you in Nueva Andalucía, approximately 6 kilometres west of Marbella’s historic centre and directly connected to Puerto Banus—the purpose-built marina development created in 1970 by José Banús as a luxury destination. This pocket of coastline has become known internationally as the gathering point for significant wealth, visible in the concentration of superyachts moored along the Puerto Banus quayside and the predictable presence of high-end automotive brands throughout the marina district.

The immediate area surrounds you with designer boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants, and beachfront chiringuitos (traditional beach bars) operating between May and September. Playa de Puerto Banus stretches 300 metres with gentle slopes suitable for children’s swimming. Nearby Playa Artola sits 3 kilometres eastward, offering a quieter alternative with pine-tree shade and seasonal beach clubs.

San Pedro de Alcántara, 2 kilometres west, maintains a more traditional Spanish character with a local market operating Wednesday mornings, family-run tapas bars, and authentic bodega wines. The town provides daily necessities: supermarkets, pharmacies, and casual dining away from the marina’s premium pricing.

Marbella proper, 6 kilometres east, preserves a beautiful old quarter (casco antiguo) with narrow streets, whitewashed buildings, and a main square surrounded by historic churches. The town operates a larger infrastructure: the Mercado de Abastos (central market) functions daily, multiple Michelin-starred restaurants operate year-round, and water sports facilities serve the extensive beach. The paseo marítimo (seafront promenade) extends for several kilometres with beach clubs, restaurants, and direct Mediterranean access. The town’s strategic position has made it Andalucía’s most visited coastal destination after Granada.

Málaga city, 55 kilometres east (approximately 50-minute drive), functions as the region’s cultural and historical anchor. The Picasso Museum occupies a Renaissance palace; the Alcazaba fortress sits above the old city; multiple galleries and performance venues operate throughout. The city’s beaches offer alternative swimming if you seek different scenery.

Our European villa collection provides comparison properties across other Mediterranean destinations. For comprehensive destination planning, consult our Costa del Sol travel guide, which covers seasonal timing, activity planning, and local cultural highlights.

The Costa del Sol climate provides Mediterranean warmth year-round—water temperature averages 18°C even in winter months, making swimming feasible October through June for cold-water swimmers, and genuinely pleasant May through September. The inland Sierra Nevada mountain range rises immediately south, providing cooler retreats, hiking opportunities, and in winter, Europe’s southernmost ski resort at Pico de Veleta.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Tucan accommodates multi-generational families comfortably. The five separate bedrooms allow adult children to maintain independence while remaining grouped for collective dinners. The gymnasium and television room provide activity options for teenagers during afternoon heat. The pool and garden spaces allow young children supervision from interior sightlines, and the proximity to family beaches at Puerto Banus (300 metres) and Artola (3 kilometres) reduces travel time for daily swimming.

Groups of friends—particularly those mixing couples and singles—benefit from bedroom distribution across two levels. The office room permits working professionals to maintain business continuity during stays. The large-capacity dining arrangement supports shared meal preparation using the villa’s comprehensive kitchen facilities.

Couples seeking privacy can close themselves within the master suite while guests occupy lower-level bedrooms entirely, creating functional separation. The valley-view terrace provides morning solitude before shared activities commence.

Corporate retreat groups find the combination of accommodation, entertainment space, and professional services (chef, yoga, wine-tasting experiences) suitable for team-building or client entertaining. The office room supports working sessions; the gymnasium and spa treatments address wellness objectives.
