Located in the peaceful seaside town of Nuevo Portil, our front gates are just 350 metres from Nuevo Portil's unique, golden twelve mile beach, where a long protruding spit of land ('La Flecha') protects it from the Atlantic.
Our closest airport is Faro in Portugal (one hour away) and transfers for up to ten are 80€ each way via www.faroshuttlebus.com. Sevilla airport is equidistant.
The villa has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, an expansive lounge, kitchen and WC, spread between the main house and the separate chalet, reached by crossing a courtyard that's a riot of colour in the summer season.
There's also a separate fairylit twenty seven square metre games room, with plenty of space for everyone to chill out and relax. The games room features a full size pool table, corner bar, bluetooth sound system, a lifesize Batman statue and a comprehensive comics library.
(Please feel free to read the comics so long as they are treated with care. Note that many of them are not suitable for children.)
The villa can sleep up to eleven across five bedrooms.
On the second floor you have the large master bedroom, with a super king double bed, en suite bathroom and large balcony with plenty of room for breakfast and breathtaking views over the biodiverse grounds and 16th and 17th holes of the local golf course.
Downstairs in the main house you have the large lounge/dining room, with a pair of large corner sofas (pulling out to provide two more double beds), 55" OLED smart TV with Netflix, NowTV and Amazon Prime accounts.
For dining, there are fold-out tables and chairs in the lounge, to accommodate up to a dozen eating indoors, plus plentiful outdoor chairs and tables for dining al fresco.
Also downstairs you have a double bedroom, and a second bedroom with a set of bunk beds and one single, all large enough for adults. Your second bathroom is down here, as well as a separate WC.
The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, microwave, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, marble-topped breakfast bar and an enviable complement of cooking facilities including a hot grill plate, gas hob, induction hob and deep fat fryer.
There's also a separate laundry room with washer and dryer.
Over in the chalet you have another double bedroom with vintage four poster bed and antique 18th century dressing table, plus a twin with two single beds (large enough for adults) and you have a third bathroom here as well.
Smooth terracotta flooring is underfoot throughout, keeping the rooms cool on even the warmest August days. There are air conditioning units in all bedrooms, the lounge and games room. The lounge, master bedroom and games room also have vintage overhead fans.
Outside, the grounds are vast and lushly landscaped, wrapping around the entire villa to catch sun from morning til dusk and leaving you completely secluded behind high walls and screening greenery.
A flamboyance of flamingos flying in formation can often be seen overhead.
Our gardens are home to an incredible range of biodiverse flora from all around the world, including a specimen of the oldest tree ever recorded - Ginkgo biloba, ancient cycads, banana plant trees, avocado, fig, orange, lemon, orange, peach, walnut trees and a South American silk floss tree (which was considered a sacred tree among the pre-Hispanic cultures of Mesoamerica).
The pool is a kidney shaped affair, with a shower at one end and a swing at the other. The pool is around seven feet deep at its deepest point.
We have a treehouse with commanding views over the golf course, as well as a separate BBQ area, with large brick charcoal grill, plus a dedicated sink and food preparation counters.
Garden furniture is available for you to make the most of these spaces - three sets of tables and chairs sit in the various courtyards and we have a range of timber and canvas sun loungers for you to soak up the sun on the lawn.
We have gated, off street parking. But our road is very quiet and offers plenty of space for parking even in the high season.

Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) is a largely undiscovered, unspoilt paradise with over 300 days of sunshine per year and mild winters.
