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.

Home truths

You'll need a car to make the most of your stay here. Puerto Banús and the Golden Mile are around a ten-minute drive away, and the beach is about fifteen minutes by car.
You'll have parking for up to four cars on site, with a private entrance to the villa.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, and children's dinnerware. It's worth requesting these in advance to make sure everything is ready on arrival.
