Villa Almar, Timeless Classic Living in Bahía de Marbella
Some homes impress at first glance. Others reveal their splendour slowly, rewarding those who understand what makes a property truly special.
This classic elegant Marbella-style villa in Bahía de Marbella belongs firmly to the latter category, an exquisite home of enduring charm and timeless distinction.
Built in 1998 and meticulously maintained, the residence embodies the architectural philosophy that originally made Marbella famous: homes designed to be lived in, enjoyed and passed on through generations. Marbella's finest villas have been created with comfort, proportion and lifestyle at their core. The thick walls offer natural climate harmony, keeping interiors pleasantly cool during the summer months while retaining warmth in winter. High ceilings, generous living spaces and beautifully positioned windows bathe every room with soft natural light, creating a bright, yet calm and serene atmosphere.
Set on a private plot of 1,538 m², the villa offers approximately 700 m² of built space, surrounded by one of its most valuable assets: a beautifully manicured mature garden.
Today, mature gardens are a true privilege and have become increasingly rare. Newly built homes can take decades to achieve the same sense of privacy, shade and natural beauty, this property already enjoys towering greenery, colourful planting and secluded corners that create an atmosphere impossible to replicate. The covered terraces and shaded porches provide refreshing outdoor living throughout the day, while carefully designed seating areas invite long breakfasts, afternoon relaxation and enchanting evenings under the Mediterranean sky.
The accommodation has been designed for both comfort and flexibility. Four exceptional bedroom suites occupy the upper level, two of which are remarkably spacious with private living and dressing areas, offering pure luxury and comfort. Two further generous guest rooms with a bathroom are conveniently located on the main floor. In total, the villa offers five bedrooms, five bathrooms and an large office room.
The heart of the home is the expansive living area flowing effortlessly into an elegant dining space, creating a welcoming setting for both family life and entertaining. The separate kitchen, laundry room and practical service areas ensure comfortable year-round living with understated luxury.
Outside, the lifestyle offering continues. A beautiful swimming pool is complemented by a gazebo, an outdoor fireplace and guest facilities, creating the perfect environment for refined entertaining or simply enjoying Marbella's exceptional and exclusive climate.
A truly distinctive feature is the vast garage which can accommodate up to fifteen vehicles. This verstaile area offers limitless potential, from a private wellness centre, gym, yoga or Pilates studio, to a golf simulator, cinema room or entertainment space.
Offered fully furnished, the villa invites its new owner to step immediately into a lifetsyle of timeless elegance and comfort.
Sea views can be enjoyed from the upper terrace and principal suites and the beach is a short and idyllic 400m stroll away.
A Privileged Location by Marbella's Finest Beaches
One of Bahía de Marbella's greatest privileges is its exceptional natural setting. Located along one of Marbella's most spectacular stretches of protected coastline, the area is renowned for its rolling sand dunes, wide expanses of uninterrupted golden-white beaches and a sense of space that has become increasingly rare on the Costa del Sol. Unlike many coastal locations, the natural beauty here remains remarkably preserved, creating a unique atmosphere of tranquillity and exclusivity.
Within minutes, residents can enjoy some of Marbella East's most sought-after beach destinations, including Oyana Beach Restaurant & Beach Club, the iconic Trocadero Arena, The Beach House Marbella, La Cabane Beach Club and the charming El Mangaleta chiringuito. Whether for a relaxed beachfront lunch, sunset cocktails or refined dining by the sea, some of Marbella's finest beach experiences are quite literally on your doorstep.
Despite its peaceful setting, Bahía de Marbella is only a few minutes from Marbella's vibrant town centre, several prestigious golf courses, international schools and all amenities required for comfortable year-round living.
The Spirit of Old Marbella
Before contemporary architecture and minimalist villas became the trend, Marbella earned its international reputation through elegant homes designed around lifestyle, comfort and outdoor living.
Inspired by the legendary Marbella Club Hotel and the vision of Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, the original Marbella style embraced Mediterranean architecture, mature gardens, shaded terraces, whitewashed façades and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. It was a style built around quality of life rather than fashion.
This villa captures that spirit beautifully.
For buyers seeking authenticity, character and timeless elegance, it offers something increasingly difficult to find. And for those who envision introducing a more contemporary aesthetic, the opportunity is equally compelling. The generous proportions, exceptional construction quality and magnificent mature gardens provide the perfect foundation for a stunning transformation.
The difference is that while interiors can always be redesigned, decades of established landscaping, privacy and atmosphere simply cannot be recreated overnight.
In a market increasingly dominated by newly built properties, this home offers something far rarer: soul, substance and a setting that has matured gracefully over time. Some homes are built. Others are cultivated over time.
The photographs tell part of the story. The gardens tell another.
But only when you walk through the gate, hear the fountain, feel the breeze smell the flowers and experience the atmosphere for yourself will you understand why homes like this are becoming so rare. We invite you to discover it before someone else does.
