Sugar Cane Shores

Among sandy beaches and close to the famous yacht-lined marina, this charming villa provides a beautiful base from which to discover the iconic sights of Marbella. Boasting a pretty garden, spend sunny mornings relaxing by the private pool, or enjoy some shade and a cup of coffee under the sun umbrella. If you do manage to tear yourself away from the garden, take a walk along the coast then onto the refreshingly unspoilt San Pedro de Alcantara, where you can take your pick from a plethora of restaurants for lunch. Golfers will appreciate the the close proximity to five different golf courses, ideal for a family day out.

After a day of exploring, relaxing and making memories, head home to fire up the barbecue. Gather everyone on the patio for a delicious alfresco feast under the stars. Post-dinner, enjoy a relaxing bubble bath in the freestanding tub, then take a seat on the balcony to enjoy the warm evening breeze with a glass of wine.
