Perched above Lake Istán with an infinity pool that seems to dissolve into the water below, this villa is as much a wellness retreat as it is a place to stay. A glasshouse gym, sauna, ice bath, Japanese hot bath, and a dedicated Temple Room for yoga or meditation give the villa a depth rarely found in a holiday home. Evenings can unfold around the terrace's pizza oven and barbecue, or in the hidden speakeasy bar, which is available upon request for a fee. When you're ready to venture out, Puerto Banús is about sixteen minutes by car.
