Choosing between these two options is a difficult decision to make, but also a very privileged position to be in, as the beachfront properties at La Morera Playa, Marbella, form part of an idyllic hectare of private parkland right by the Mediterranean Sea. Access to the beach is direct, from a gate at the end of the panoramic lawn, and from here a pathway leads in both directions to a series of excellent fish restaurants, beach clubs, the exclusive five-star Hotel Los Monteros and past surfers to the Río Real Golf Club, whose course so beautifully skirts the sea.

There is no doubt about it – this is one of the most privileged locations in Marbella, and one of the most private, most beautiful frontline beach settings on the entire Costa del Sol. What’s more, you’re in Marbella town in five minutes, on one of the nearby golf courses within the same amount of time, and have all manner of amenities on your doorstep while also enjoying total peace and privacy within the lush gardens of this exclusive gated community in Marbella. The views are of course totally inspiring, with vistas back across to Marbella and wonderful sunsets as the sky turns bright orange behind Gibraltar.

Sky villa or garden apartment?

Having described La Morera Playa itself, it’s time to zoom in and compare life in two of its most emblematic property types: the panoramic duplex penthouse and the gorgeous garden apartment. Both are spacious, elegantly laid out with open-plan distribution and finished with noble marble, stone and first-class fittings. These are classic Mediterranean properties with today’s comforts and luxuries, and the garden apartments come with a choice of two or three bedrooms, two large parking spaces and an average size of 253m2, with 123m2 of terrace and garden space.

The latter provides a wonderfully private green space surrounded by the complex’s landscaped greenery and wonderful views of the sea. From your private garden and terrace, the sounds of the sea reach you: waves, seagulls and that lulled sense of well-being. It’s a short stroll to the beach or La Morera Playa’s own large swimming pool, sundeck and spa facilities. Quite the lifestyle.

A raised position

Alternatively, you may prefer the raised vantage point of the La Morera Playa penthouses, which feature two top-floor levels. These villas in the air offer unequalled sea views along the shoreline to Gibraltar and North Africa from all rooms, but especially from the two large terraces, which measure no less than 274m2. At 271m2 the interior space is no less impressive – larger than many modern villas, and all that in a frontline beach location in Marbella!

Large, luxurious and beautifully finished, with elegant open-plan interiors, penthouses at La Morera Playa really are ‘sky villas’, but naturally your preference will depend upon your personal taste, lifestyle and budget.
