Villa Hiedra

A unique, striking, and eclectic blend of rustic charm meets modern flair, Villa Hiedra provides the perfect starting point for a luxurious break beneath the Spanish sun on the lively Costa del Sol.

With loads of stylish entertaining areas inside and out, this home is ideal for larger groups of extended family and friends hoping to make the most of their time together, cooking, dining, or simply enjoying the sun beside the pool. We love the effortlessly chic styling of the villa and how it brings a certain distinctive Californian charm to this quintessentially Spanish stretch of coastline.

Inside its light-filled spaces, you will find a large ground-floor living area, which houses a modern feature fireplace surrounded by a sleek seating area that leads onto an understated dining area and a funky open-plan kitchen. The kitchen centres around a stunning central island made from elegant grey marble, the perfect spot for some family dinners.

There is an additional, more informal living space on the lower-ground floor – a room that, in contrast to those above, feels secluded because of its striking rough poured concrete feature walls and the high-shine polished concrete floor set off by some natural fabrics and textures. With comfortable seating, another laid-back dining area, and a gaming set-up, this part of the home serves as the perfect teenage hangout. The lower ground level also houses another double bed, bunk beds, and an additional pull-out bed, so we think it could work well as a shared kids' room or for a family wanting to sleep together in one room.

You will find the main suite on the ground floor – making this a potential option for guests with mobility issues. Further inside and up the sweeping staircase, you’ll come to two more ensuite bedrooms – one which boasts its private balcony and workspace and the other with a sun-filled seating area overlooking the swimming pool that would serve as the perfect spot to indulge in a little quiet reading as the afternoon sunlight streams in.

Open the enormous floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and step straight out onto the terrace, where you will find a cosy covered seating and dining area, as well as a barbecue, hammock, hot tub, and that beautiful saltwater swimming pool, all set against a beguiling mountainous backdrop.
