Situated within the gated community of La Arboleda in Estepona East, Villa Arboleda represents refined contemporary living in a peaceful yet well-connected setting. Conceived by acclaimed architect Andrea Sonntag-Mackenzie of ASM Architects, the home blends clean architectural lines with practical design, creating a residence that is both visually striking and highly functional. It presents an attractive option in one of the Costa del Sol’s most sought-after residential areas.
The property offers 249 m² of internal accommodation distributed across three floors, complemented by 93 m² of terraces that extend the living experience outdoors. Every level has been carefully planned to maximise light, space and usability, with quality finishes such as hardwood floors and natural stone enhancing the villa’s elegant aesthetic.
The entrance level opens into a spacious, open-concept living and dining area anchored by a sleek, fully fitted kitchen equipped with high-end NEFF appliances. Large sliding glass panels lead directly to the main terrace, where a heated chlorinated swimming pool and dedicated barbecue area create an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxed family time. A conveniently located guest cloakroom completes this floor.
Upstairs, the principal suite provides a private retreat, featuring an en-suite bathroom and direct access to its own terrace. Two additional bedrooms on this level also benefit from en-suite bathrooms and share access to another outdoor space, ensuring excellent natural light and ventilation throughout. The upper floor layout balances privacy with cohesion, making it ideal for modern family living.
The lower level adds flexibility to the home’s layout. It includes a fourth bedroom, a full bathroom and a separate laundry room, along with a multipurpose space adaptable as a gym, home cinema, playroom or office. This additional level enhances the property’s versatility, accommodating evolving lifestyle needs.
Externally, the villa provides off-street parking for two cars, with the option to install a covered carport if desired. Integrated storage solutions, underfloor heating, LED illumination and a smart security system contribute to both comfort and efficiency.
La Arboleda lies within Nueva Atalaya, a tranquil residential district appreciated for its green surroundings and proximity to leading golf facilities, including Atalaya Golf & Country Club. The area also offers access to paddle and tennis courts at Bel Air Tennis Club. Although the community is set slightly inland, the beaches of Playa del Saladillo and Playa de Guadalmansa are only a short drive away, with popular beachfront venues such as Pepe’s Beach and La Antigua providing relaxed dining options.
Everyday amenities are close at hand, from Centro Comercial Diana to the seaside lifestyle destination of Laguna Village. Dining choices range from traditional Andalusian cuisine at Venta Los Almendros to Mediterranean and international menus at El Campanario Restaurant.
Families benefit from nearby educational institutions including Atalaya International School and Colegio San José, both recognised for their strong academic standards. Excellent transport links via the A-7 and local bus services ensure convenient connections to Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona centre.
The La Arboleda community combines contemporary and Mediterranean-style homes, fostering an established yet cosmopolitan residential atmosphere. Its blend of serenity, accessibility and lifestyle amenities continues to attract buyers seeking either a permanent residence or a holiday retreat.
Villa Arboleda is not simply a home but a thoughtfully designed residence that captures the essence of modern Mediterranean living. Offering privacy within a secure community while remaining close to beaches, golf and services, it stands as a compelling choice for both lifestyle purchasers and long-term investors.
