Villa Pandora: a renovated single-storey villa in Nagüeles

Villa Pandora is a five-bedroom villa situated in Nagüeles, an established residential area on Marbella’s Golden Mile. It is approximately 3 km from the beaches and hotels of the Golden Mile, 5 km from Marbella town centre, 7 km from Puerto Banús and 55 km from Málaga Airport. Nearby are international schools such as Swans International School and the British International School of Marbella, as well as restaurants, sports facilities and a full range of amenities. Its location allows residents to enjoy a peaceful residential setting with easy access to Marbella’s main attractions.

The property has been completely rebuilt and redesigned, preserving the character of traditional Andalusian architecture whilst incorporating contemporary interiors, natural materials and modern fittings. Set entirely on a single level, it offers a direct connection between the interior rooms, the terraces and the garden, with a layout that is practical for both everyday living and entertaining guests.

The main area combines the living room, dining room and kitchen into a bright, open-plan space. The sloping ceilings with exposed wooden beams reach a height of four metres, lending a sense of spaciousness and architectural character. Its east, south and west-facing orientation allows natural light to flood in at different times of the day. Large sliding glass doors and colonial-style windows connect the living areas to the outdoor terraces.

The living room features a fireplace clad in natural stone and several seating areas. The kitchen, fitted with Gaggenau appliances, boasts a large stone island, ample storage space and direct access from the car park. A separate laundry and utility area completes this space. All the interior joinery has been bespoke designed and handcrafted by specialists in Seville.

The villa has five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Three are located in the main part of the property, whilst the other two occupy a private wing connected to the house – a layout that allows family members or guests to be accommodated with greater independence. The master suite, designed with an aesthetic inspired by boutique hotels, enjoys views of Andalusian-inspired water features and the garden’s greenery.

The interiors stand out for their selection of materials and finishes, including herringbone-laid Finnish oak flooring, natural stone cladding, decorative mosaics and textured wallpapers. The property features underfloor heating, Airzone zone-controlled air conditioning, a Sonos sound system integrated throughout the interior and exterior, and a comprehensive Dahua security system.

The outdoor areas are organised around a main terrace, with different spaces for dining, relaxing and enjoying the Mediterranean climate. The outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining area are complemented by seating areas and a terrace designed for breakfast. Next to the swimming pool, surrounded by sunbathing areas, the stone finishes and a decorative waterfall are particularly striking. The garden also offers views of La Concha mountain.

Tropical vegetation and carefully designed gardens surround the property, providing privacy and a pleasant atmosphere all year round. The bedrooms open up visually onto these green spaces, reinforcing the connection with the outdoors.

Villa Pandora combines the advantages of a single-storey property with a comprehensive refurbishment, high-quality materials and a well-established location on the Golden Mile. Its layout, featuring five en-suite bedrooms and well-defined outdoor spaces, makes it suitable both as a primary residence and as a second home in Marbella.
