Detached Villa in Los MonterosWith its spectacular setting, beautiful mature grounds, luxurious villa and of course unique pedigree, this is truly a unique property in Marbella. There are many impressive villas occupying prime frontline beach locations along the Marbella shoreline, but along the sandy beaches of Los Monteros – the finest address on the east side of town – there is a superb property whose beachfront setting and sea views simply will never be equalled. What’s more, it’s a mansion whose very pedigree is part of the glamorous story of Marbella itself.
The former home of American socialite Aline Griffit hand her husband, Luis Figueroa y Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno, Count of Romanones., Villa Annabel was the backdrop to some of Marbella's glitziest parties. She had a circle of high-powered friends that included Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn and Wallis Simpson, many of whom she hosted at this beach-front house.
Marbella is full of exotic-looking villas, but few boast the glitz, mystery and intrigue are woven into the fabric of Villa Annabel, one of the area’s most extraordinary properties. This opulent villa stands in grounds of a little more than an acre Los Monteros, one of Marbella’s most exclusive addresses.
Grand and sophisticated, Villa Annabel is ideal for entertaining — especially because the interiors flow seamlessly into a vast terrace and the mature gardens beyond.
Indeed, the house was the backdrop for some of Marbella’s most glamorous parties.
The story of this splendid beachside villa leaps off the pages of a novel, for it was originally built for the daughter of a Spanish head of state, who settled here in favour of Madrid in the 1950s, attracted by the benevolent climate and lifestyle of Marbella. Already a burgeoning centre of refinement loved by an international set, the town provided her with the company of many of Europe, and indeed the world’s, most elegant and fascinating personages, from royals and business tycoons to top celebrities.
The villa, built in privileged private proximity to the beach – a feat that can no longer be copied – stands alone in offering the most stunning views and personal experience of beach, sea, skies and privacy, surrounded as it is by extensive manicured grounds. Together, they envelop the property in a rich variety of floral and seaside tones, textures and fragrances, accompanied by the soundtrack of the sea. Not only is this a singularly beautiful spot, but it is also very private, bordered only by other large properties with extensive garden.
