Villa with Sea Views, El Paraíso Alto, Estepona

El Paraíso Alto is a well-established residential address on the western edge of Marbella’s orbit — elevated enough to command genuine views yet close to everything. Puerto Banús is thirteen minutes by car, Marbella old town twenty-four minutes, and Playa de Costalita is a seven-minute drive. El Paraíso Golf Club is six minutes away, with Atalaya Golf and El Campanario also within easy reach. For families considering the area, Atlas American School is ten minutes by car and Colegio San José eleven.

Completely refurbished to a high specification, the property combines Mediterranean architecture with contemporary interiors that read as both elegant and easy to live in. Italian furnishings, warm wooden flooring throughout, and underfloor heating give the home a considered, unhurried quality that stands apart from the typical renovation.

The ground floor is arranged around the Arclinea kitchen, which is fitted with premium Miele appliances and opens directly into the main living and dining areas — a layout designed to keep the household connected rather than compartmentalised. An office completes the indoor spaces. Upstairs, four bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a guest aseo are finished to the same high-quality standard throughout, the main suite benefiting from the elevation and southwest aspect that makes the views particularly compelling in the afternoon and evening.

Outside, the terraces give onto a well-maintained garden and the heated swimming pool, both oriented to make the most of the southwest light and the sea-to-Gibraltar panorama. Two private garage spaces and a layout that flows naturally between inside and out complete a property that works equally well as a full-time family home or a well-placed base on the Costa del Sol.
