Brand New Luxury Villa w/ Guest House, Sea & Mtn. Views, Pool, Walk to Beach
Welcome to Sun-Kissed Splendor Casa BenDiana A Modern Coastal Retreat on the Costa del Sol Located right off the A-7, approximately 35 minutes from Málaga Airport and just 10 minutes from Marbella, Sun-Kissed Splendor—aka Casa BenDiana—is a fully reimagined modern villa designed for relaxed, understated luxury. The home has been completely renovated with high-end finishes, with everything brand new as of December 2024. Natural textures, thoughtful design, and open views create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. While fully reimagined, the renovation was intentionally respectful of the home’s Andalusian character, preserving original marble floors, traditional stonework, and select terrace tiles that root the design in its setting. The experience begins as you drive through a quiet neighborhood and arrive at the end of the cul-de-sac, where the carport door opens to welcome you in. Ahead, the mountains rise; to your left, the sea glimmers through the windows. From the very first moment, there is a sense of arrival—calm, light-filled, and unmistakably special.
You will be personally welcomed by our property manager, who will provide keys, a brief orientation, and remain available should you need assistance during your stay.

Absolutely wonderful property, we really did have the best timeEverything is so thought through and finished to a high standard. Making our stay very comfortable. Everything was there which we needed….. Even a blender in the kitchen which was a highlight for me as I love juicing Easy into La Cala few minutes in the car. I walked down each morning to get pastry’s from the patisserie for the kids. Doesn’t take long, especially when ur enjoying the beach walk most of the way.Definitely looking to stay again soon From the start of the booking the host was very helpful and Kate (who met us at the property) was great when we arrived. She also stayed in touch throughout the holiday to make sure all was goodTop service! Highly recommend this wonderful property…

Thank you Lucy! We are so happy you and your family enjoyed a wonderful holiday! We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to having you back again.
Best regards

We had a wonderful eleven night stay. The villa is beautiful and finished to an exceptionally high standard and spotlessly clean. The welcome package was a lovely touch and much appreciated. We were greeted by Kate who showed us around and explained how things worked, we were able to contact her during our stay with any queries and having never stayed in the area the restaurant/takeaway recommendations were very helpful.
The villa was equipped with everything we needed, bathrooms are gorgeous and the beds were very comfortable.
The pool and garden area was the selling point for us having two children who along with the four of us adults thoroughly enjoyed playing and cooling off in the pool. Several sitting areas with much appreciated parasol and sail shade. Plenty of loungers as well with pool towels provided.
Stunning views from the upstairs balconies looking out to sea on one side and the mountains on the other.
There were a few bars, restaurants and supermarkets within 10-15min walk and the town of La Cala is around a 20-25min walk. We had a hire car to help with the shopping being a party of six but there are plenty of taxis available.
Prior to our stay the host Diane was very responsive with her communication regarding any queries we had.
We all had a very relaxing stay at the villa and hope to return in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Diane Hoch
We are longtime travelers who value beautiful spaces, thoughtful design, and time spent together with family and friends. The Costa del Sol captured our hearts for its light, landscape, and relaxed way of life, and this home reflects what we love most about being here. Sun-Kissed Splendor (Casa BenDiana) was created as a place to gather, unwind, and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living. We take great care in how the home is maintained and hosted, and we’re grateful to share it with guests who appreciate comfort, quality, and a sense of ease. We hope you feel at home here from the moment you arrive.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and an elevated residential feel. The homes are tucked gracefully into the mountainside, creating a peaceful, high-end setting with sweeping views and a strong sense of place. The area is family-friendly, safe, and welcoming, with a true neighborhood atmosphere, yet it remains wonderfully walkable. From the villa, you can stroll down to cafés, restaurants, tennis, the beach, and the coastal boardwalk—enjoying stunning scenery the entire way. It’s a location that feels both exclusive and effortless, which is exactly what drew us here.
What makes this property unique
What makes this home unique is the way it was designed to bring the outside in. Panoramic windows and an open, flowing layout allow natural light to move freely through the space, keeping the mountains, sky, and sea present throughout the day. The interior was intentionally opened up to create a sense of space, connection, and ease—whether you’re gathering together or enjoying quiet moments. This openness, paired with the views, is something guests often comment on, as it creates a feeling that is both expansive and deeply calming.
