“Villa Tesoro's private pathway to the beach is a genuine rarity in Marbella, where most luxury properties require a drive or walk to reach the Mediterranean. The dual kitchen configuration — a main family kitchen plus a professional-grade catering kitchen — creates genuine flexibility for groups who want both intimate family cooking and formal entertaining without compromise. Unlike most beachfront villas that sacrifice garden space for proximity to the sea, Villa Tesoro maintains both expansive tropical gardens and direct beach access, a combination that reflects the generous proportions of the original Los Monteros estate development. The fact that every bedroom commands sea views, rather than just the principal suites, demonstrates the thoughtful positioning that makes this property stand apart from comparable Marbella rentals.”
Why Andalusia
What makes Andalusia worth choosing
Marbella's enduring glamour
Marbella has drawn well-heeled travellers since the 1950s, and its appeal has only deepened. The old town retains genuine Andalusian character, while the beachfront between Puerto Banús and San Pedro de Alcántara delivers some of the most polished coastal living in southern Europe. Villas here sit within easy reach of championship golf courses, Michelin-recognised restaurants and private beach clubs.
A living cultural landscape
Seville's alcázar, Granada's Alhambra and Córdoba's Mezquita rank among Europe's most extraordinary monuments, and all lie within day-trip range of the coast. Beyond the headline sights, the region pulses with flamenco tablaos, sherry bodegas in Jerez and spring ferias that feel genuinely unscripted. This cultural depth gives Andalusia a richness that pure beach destinations simply cannot match.
Climate built for outdoor living
Andalusia records more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and temperatures along the Costa del Sol remain mild well into November. That extended season makes it ideal for long lunches on terraces, evening swims and rounds of golf at Valderrama or Las Brisas. Properties here are designed around courtyards, pergolas and infinity pools that blur the line between interior and landscape.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Andalusia
When is the best time to visit Andalusia for a luxury villa holiday?
May, June and September strike the best balance between warm weather and fewer crowds, with daytime temperatures typically between 25°C and 32°C. July and August are peak season along the coast, popular with families and with the liveliest social scene. October and early November still deliver pleasant swimming temperatures and quieter roads, making them ideal for couples or smaller groups.
What types of luxury properties are available in Andalusia?
TheChosenStay curates a hand-picked selection of high-end villas in Andalusia, ranging from contemporary architectural statements with floor-to-ceiling glass to traditional cortijo-style estates with internal courtyards and mature gardens. Many sit on generous private plots with expansive pool terraces, outdoor kitchens and landscaped grounds that ensure complete privacy.
How much does a luxury villa in Andalusia cost per week?
Villas in our Andalusia collection are priced at approximately €159,500 per week. Properties at this level typically represent the very top tier of the market, with extensive grounds, full staffing and bespoke services. Rates can vary between peak summer weeks and the quieter shoulder months, so it is worth enquiring early about specific dates.
What amenities do luxury properties in Andalusia typically include?
Private heated pools, expansive outdoor dining areas and dedicated staff quarters are standard at this level. Many villas come with private chefs, daily housekeeping, concierge teams and spa facilities including hammams and treatment rooms. Garaging for multiple vehicles, home cinemas and climate-controlled wine cellars also feature regularly across our collection.
How many guests can luxury villas in Andalusia accommodate?
Villas in our Andalusia collection generally accommodate between 10 and 20 guests across multiple bedroom suites, making them well suited to extended families or groups of friends travelling together. Several properties also include separate guest houses or staff quarters that add further flexibility. Couples seeking privacy will find that the scale of these estates still feels intimate, with distinct zones for quiet retreat.
How do you get to Andalusia?
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport serves as the primary gateway, with direct flights from most major European cities and a transfer time of roughly 45 minutes to Marbella. Gibraltar Airport offers a closer alternative for the western Costa del Sol. Private aviation users can fly into Málaga's dedicated terminal or the smaller airfield at San Pedro de Alcántara.
Which areas of Andalusia are best for a luxury villa stay?
Marbella remains the region's premier address for villa holidays, combining beachfront sophistication with proximity to Sierra Blanca and La Zagaleta. Inland, the Ronda plateau and the hills above Gaucín appeal to travellers seeking rural seclusion with dramatic mountain scenery. Sotogrande, further west, draws a polo and golf crowd, while the countryside around Seville and Granada suits those who prioritise culture over coast.
Is Andalusia suitable for families, couples or groups?
Andalusia works exceptionally well for all three. Families benefit from safe beaches, waterparks near Marbella and a wealth of outdoor activities including horse riding and kayaking. Couples can retreat to rooftop terraces, private spa facilities and evening excursions to flamenco performances in Seville or Granada. Larger groups find that the generous scale of Andalusian villas, often with multiple living areas and outdoor zones, allows everyone space without compromise.
How far in advance should you book a luxury villa in Andalusia?
For peak weeks in July, August and around Easter, booking six to twelve months ahead is advisable, particularly for the most exclusive properties. Shoulder season stays in May, June or September offer more flexibility, though the best villas still fill quickly. TheChosenStay recommends making early enquiries to secure preferred dates and any bespoke staffing arrangements.
