Villa Oyebola

Description

Secreted into the hills above Marbella, bathed in Spanish sun and cooled by the breeze of leafy palms, sits a stylish retreat of the Scandinavian persuasion.

Villa Oyebola, newly renovated and wholly modern, is a villa of dual nationalities. Both invitingly Spanish and elegantly Scandinavian, this is a home that balances the warmth of its location with the sophistication of its contemporary design: ultra-modern interiors that overlook sweeping Mediterranean views, clean lines to complement exotic gardens, and pops of fuchsia and turquoise to balance simple whites and greys.

And yet, what Villa Oyebola balances even better than its twin nationalities, are its versatile spaces: at 900 square metres (9,690 square feet), this sprawling villa strikes the ideal harmony of indoor and outdoor respite, family living and quiet nooks, entertainment spaces and quiet retreats.

Villa Oyebola is a home built for modern needs and contemporary sensibilities.

Villa Oyebola glows with Scandinavian charm and sun-kissed Spanish hospitality.

This once-traditional, now luxuriously contemporary villa has been given a completely new lease on life by its Norwegian owners, who treated the villa to a full makeover. Now, the aptly named Villa Oyebola glows with Scandinavian charm and sun-kissed Spanish hospitality – with a welcoming style that feels both modern and refined, and yet casual and cosy.

The villa is home to the ever-elusive “perfect” location: located in an exclusive East-Marbella suburb, just over a kilometre to the beach at Marbella and minutes to the lovely Cabo Pino port, Villa Oyebola sits perched in the breezy hills with sweeping views of the coastline, the Mediterranean, and a distant Morocco.

You’ll want to do nothing but drink in these views, especially at sunset – that is, unless you’re inside when the sun goes down, pampering yourself at the private spa: your own indoor heated plunge pool, Jacuzzi and Swedish sauna.

Outdoors, huge palm fronds and a large swimming pool offer respite from the Spanish sun, while indoors, modern Scandinavian style welcomes the family to come together. Play a round of billiards or settle in for a movie on the large-screen television. Mix your favourite cocktail at the bar or light a log in the wood-burning fireplace. Gather around the table for a family meal, or call the chauffeur to take you into Marbella, Cabo Pino or Puerto Banus for fine dining and designer shopping.

Villa Oyebola is a home built for laughter, for togetherness, for family. It is a home you choose for its perfect location, breath-taking views, and modern spaces. It is a Scandinavian jewel, dropped into the sparkling crown of Spain’s luxe Costa del Sol.
