Villa for sale in Alto de los Monteros, Marbella, Málaga

This is an exceptional contemporary villa by Paul Vanrunxt, set in the hills of Los Altos de los Monteros. Its sharp architectural lines, serene interiors of natural materials, and carefully framed views give the home a striking sense of order, with generous living areas opening toward the Mediterranean. The outdoor design is fully integrated into the architecture: terraces, courtyards, water features, and mature olive trees create a quiet dialogue with the landscape, while well-placed openings pull daylight and sea views deep into the house.
Inside, the emphasis is on proportion, light, and material restraint. Rooms flow into one another effortlessly, while deliberate walls and shifts in perspective grant each space its own intimacy. The villa is laid out over two floors, with the main family living areas on the upper level. Here, the welcoming living kitchen, TV lounge, office, and three family bedrooms cluster around the primary outdoor spaces. The living kitchen acts as the true heart of the home, with a fully fitted kitchen, natural stone countertops, and a breakfast corner boasting stunning panoramic sea views. It also includes a spacious walk-in refrigerator.
The TV lounge, living kitchen, and outdoor lounge each come with a fireplace, offering warmth and comfort all year round. In the main living zones, 3.5-metre-high ceilings and full-height windows amplify the sense of volume, bringing the surrounding landscape into the interior. The main level opens directly onto the pool and principal terrace, where a series of intimate spots are set up for outdoor dining, lounging, and relaxation.
The lower level is dedicated to guests and amenities, featuring two private suites and a separate one-bedroom staff apartment. There is also an exceptional garage with space for up to 12 cars, a dedicated laundry room, and a substantial gallery that could become a gym, home cinema, spa or other private space.
Behind its architectural focus, the villa integrates modern systems for year-round comfort. Underfloor heating, powered by an energy-efficient heat pump, extends throughout the home, alongside integrated air-conditioning. Photovoltaic panels further enhance energy efficiency, and a lift shaft has been prepared for future installation to improve connectivity between levels.
With generous service and storage areas, the property combines the character of a carefully designed architectural home with the practical comforts of a contemporary luxury residence. This is a rare offering in Marbella's luxury residential market, a home where architecture, landscape and lifestyle are considered as one.
