This elegant penthouse apartment can be found just outside of Marbella and Puerto Banus, playgrounds of the wealthy. The apartment is part of the Villa Padierna Palace Hotel, so you have your own extremely luxurious space as well as having access to the hotel’s spa and golf course – what more could you ask for? The penthouse’s views are simply breath-taking, stretching over the lush, manicured grounds to the mountains and sea. The living room’s floor-to-ceiling glass doors open out onto a broad terrace, so the view spills into the interior. We recommend starting your day with an espresso and a pastry on the terrace. Sink into one of the comfy sofas on the deck and flip through your guidebook, revelling in the serene styling of this apartment. Perhaps you’ll set off for a day at one of Marbella’s white-sand beaches, or drive to Puerto Banus to admire the yachts in the harbour. Both can be reached in twenty minutes – the shops, dining and vibrant nightlife are all right on your doorstep but you’d never know it from the tranquillity of the apartment. Wander through the cypress trees and swaying palms of the grounds. The communal pool is beautiful and... spacious, and the countryside views from the sun loungers are exquisite. This is a marvellous getaway destination with everything you need to relax in absolute luxury and style.
