Whether you’re in Marbella or elsewhere, having access to a garden and personal green space is a wonderful privilege, and given its wonderfully sunny climate, there are few places in Europe where outdoor living is as varied and rewarding as here.
The year-round warm climate of the Costa del Sol, which typically includes some 320 sunny days a year, makes it the perfect location to enjoy a lifestyle where indoor living spaces expand into a home’s outdoor areas and merge with them to create one large area of style, relaxation and entertainment.
Picture spacious covered terraces with luxurious lounge and dining areas looking out over lush gardens that surround a delightful lagoon-style or infinity edge swimming pool. Occasionally, poolside cabana bars with outdoor kitchen/BBQ and bar, chill-out zones and al fresco dining spots, complete with changing rooms and toilets, provide the ideal accompaniment to landscaped greenery and imposing sea and mountain views. Here is a small selection of some Marbella properties with garden areas we find inspiring.
