Dalia 1

Puente Romano (halfway along The Golden Mile between Marbella and Puerto Banús), Dalia is a lesson in slick, measured design – a testament to the impeccable taste of award-winning interior designer Andrea Böck.

Overlooking a verdant botanical garden, its ponds and the Mediterranean beyond, you couldn’t wish for more idyllic surroundings. The pool is a minute’s walk away, and the Six Senses Spa, golf course and tennis courts aren’t much further. You’ll also find yourself completely surrounded by extraordinary restaurants and lively bars.

Inside the apartment, a signed print of Terry O’Neill’s iconic Brigitte Bardot Cigar sets an uber-glamorous tone that continues into the bedrooms. The open-plan living room and kitchen blend seamlessly, creating a wonderful space for receiving guests, which is convenient as this place was built for entertaining.

The highlight of Dalia is undoubtedly the terrace though, accessible via both the master bedroom and the living area. At one end, a large dining table is crying out to be covered in salad bowls and freshly barbecued fish; while at the other end, comfy sofas and armchairs, provide the perfect spot for whiling away those balmy evenings.

What’s more, guests staying in Dalia will enjoy full access to the exclusive Owners Club facilities, including the clubhouse, gym, and Six Senses Spa. If there was ever a chance to completely switch off, this is it.
