Villa for sale in Golden Mile, Marbella, Málaga

This four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa is one of only five homes in Karl Lagerfeld Villas, the first residential development by the Karl Lagerfeld brand, in Jardines del Río on Marbella’s Golden Mile. The villa is delivered fully furnished with the Karl Lagerfeld furniture collection, included in the price.

The house is laid out over four levels: a private wellness and leisure basement, a ground floor for living and entertaining, a first floor of bedroom suites and a rooftop terrace. The design follows Karl Lagerfeld’s monochrome language, with black-and-white terrazzo-style floors, graphite wood, a double-layer façade clad in reflective "Reflet” porcelain set at 45°, iroko wood and green roofs.

Outside, the villa has its own landscaped garden and a marble-lined outdoor pool. The development as a whole gives more than 5,800 m² to private gardens, with natural ponds and pedestrian paths linking the five homes behind a single gated perimeter.

Inside, the ground floor centres on a kitchen designed by Karl Lagerfeld and a living area that opens to the garden and pool through minimal-frame PanoramAH glazing, motorised in the living room. Upstairs, the principal suite has a dressing room and a bathroom with marble bathtub, smart toilet and a rain shower with light therapy. Three further bedrooms give space for children or visiting family. A four-person glass lift connects every floor, which makes the house easy to live in at any age.

The basement is the villa’s private wellness level. It has a heated indoor pool, spa, hammam and sauna finished in silver travertine, a fully equipped gym and a cinema. Underwater windows look into the outdoor pool, and the level also includes a laundry, staff area and garage. Because the house arrives furnished, an owner can move in, or begin spending holidays there, without a long fit-out.

The specification includes underfloor heating, Hitachi VRV climate control, mechanical ventilation, Zennio home automation, Gira controls, Sonance sound, blackout curtains and osmosis-treated water. Solar panels provide domestic hot water, and the indoor pool runs at zero energy cost from May to October. Bathrooms feature black Dornbracht Meta taps, Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware and Arabescato and Nuit Ambre marbles. The landscaping is BREEAM-certified "Very Good”.

Daily life can be lived largely on foot. The beachfront at La Perla is about 13 minutes’ walk and Boho Club about 16, and Aldi, Supercor and El Corte Inglés El Capricho are within a few minutes’ drive. Puerto Banús and Marbella town are close by, and The Range golf academy and Banús Executive Golf are about three minutes away by car.

This property would particularly appeal to families moving to Marbella for year-round living and to buyers who want a second home that is ready from the first day. It will also suit owners for whom a private spa and gym are part of daily routine, and collectors of design-led architecture. As one of five homes carrying the Karl Lagerfeld name on the Golden Mile, it is also relevant to those seeking a long-term asset of limited supply.
