It’s a 10/10
We recently spent a dreamy week in Marbella (June 2025) and stayed in the most gorgeous Airbnb — and I had to share the details. It was so popular when I shared it on my Instagram stories!
If you’re looking for a spot that feels more like a luxury home than a hotel, this is your sign to book it.
The Outdoor Terrace: My Favourite Spot
The huge terrace is where we spent most of our time — and for good reason.
- The views were beautiful, especially at sunset
- There’s a heated mini pool right on the terrace (so handy for a dip any time)
- Plenty of space for sunbathing, lounging, or evening drinks under the stars
It felt so private and peaceful — a world away from hotel chaos. That “live like a local” feeling really hit here.
The Living Space: Huge, Calm, and Comfy
The inside of the apartment is just as impressive:
- The living room is massive — honestly such a beautiful space
- The sofa was SO comfy, perfect for relaxing after a day out
- High-quality kitchen appliances made a huge difference — so many handy things to use and it felt like we had everything we needed (which isn’t always the case with rentals!) it’s much nicer to be able to make food for lunch etc instead of having to go out every time
Heated Pools = Game-Changer
The main communal pool is also heated and absolutely gorgeous — surrounded by palm trees, sun beds, and well-kept gardens.
There were always beds available, and it never felt crowded, this was June too!
Between that and the private mini pool on our terrace, we were spoiled for choice.
Location: Calm but Super Connected
One of the best parts – You’re still close to everything, but it still feels tucked away and peaceful. You can’t really walk to much but driving is super quick!
- Under 10 mins to San Pedro beach – one of our favourite areas for relaxed beach bars and restaurants that aren’t crazy expensive
- Around 15/20 mins to Marbella Old Town or Puente Romano for dressier evenings
- 15 mins to The Forum – our go-to for breakfast and co-working vibes
Taxis arrived quickly every time we ordered and were really affordable compared to UK prices (there’s a surprise!!)
Easy Parking + On-Site Gym
There’s secure underground parking (which is a lifesaver in summer) and also spaces right outside the door if you need quick access.
The on-site gym was spotless, well-equipped, and actually enjoyable to use — not just a token treadmill in a dark room like some places!
Everything in the complex is so well-kept, clean, and quiet — we were honestly made up to have the option! It overlooked the pool and was just gorgeous.
Would I Go Back?
1000% yes. It’s perfect for couples, digital nomads, or anyone who wants a blend of calm luxury and convenient access to the best bits of Marbella.
We loved how it felt like living in Marbella — not just visiting — and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a longer stay or a peaceful week away. It would comfortably sleep 4 people
