For a stay steeped in the timeless glamour of Marbella’s Golden Age, this beachfront villa in Puerto Banús certainly delivers. Once owned by flamenco legend Antonio el Bailarín, it’s full of history – even the pool features a Picasso sketch of Antonio himself. The villa has hosted everyone from Hollywood icon Vivien Leigh to the Duke of Windsor, and it still feels fit for royalty today. Think marble pillars, soaring ceilings, and one of the biggest chandeliers we've possibly ever seen in our roster. There’s also a gym, sauna, indoor pool, plus two guesthouses, each with two en-suite bedrooms. You're spoilt location-wise too, as it's just a stroll from Marbella’s best beaches and nightlife.
