Andalucia, Malaga, El Rosario, Spain

There is something particularly appealing about a home that combines striking contemporary architecture with a genuine sense of warmth and personality. Known as Casa Colibri, this luxury five-bedroom villa for sale in El Rosario, Marbella East with a private pool offers precisely that balance. Named after the hummingbird, whose delicate image appears in charming touches around the house, this superbly appointed residence is just five minutes by car from the beach.

Built across three levels, the villa offers 560 m² of immaculately finished accommodation on a private 1,073 m² plot. Its bold white architecture, soaring interiors and generous windows give the home an impressive sense of light and space, without sacrificing the inviting atmosphere within. The principal living room features a contemporary fireplace and wide glass doors opening onto the covered terrace, garden and pool, while a dining room and spacious, fully fitted kitchen provide excellent facilities for everyday living and entertaining also with a covered terrace and retractable awning.

All five bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with an elegantly finished en-suite bathroom, ensuring the same high standard of comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The impressive principal suite features a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding corner bathtub and separate shower, together with extensive dressing room space. Equally well appointed, the remaining bedrooms offer attractive outlooks and ample storage, while stylish window treatments, air conditioning, electric shutters and integrated sound systems reflect the attention to detail throughout.

The lower level offers an impressive range of leisure facilities, including a dedicated cinema room with stylish bar, a spacious games room with a TV, pool table and comfortable seating, and a fully equipped private gym. A lift connects all three levels, adding convenience to a home of this size.

Outside, the established and private gardens enjoy a lovely balance of sunshine and shade throughout the day. The beautifully shaped swimming pool features a practical shallow section, while two covered terraces provide sheltered spaces for relaxing and dining throughout the year. Generous lawns, mature planting, a dedicated barbecue and bar area, create the ideal setting for lively gatherings and quieter moments beside the pool. The property also benefits from a private garage providing two parking spaces, together with additional parking for four vehicles on the driveway.

One of the villa’s greatest attractions is its peaceful hillside setting, with little passing traffic and none of the noise of the main coastal roads. The mountain scenery changes throughout the day, from shifting colours and shadows to the twinkling lights that appear across the hills after sunset. Yet the beach and local amenities, including restaurants, supermarkets, a pharmacy and golf and tennis facilities, remain conveniently close. Known for its elegant homes, green surroundings and proximity to beautiful sandy beaches, El Rosario combines a relaxed residential atmosphere with easy access to the coast’s many attractions. International schools, golf courses and beachside restaurants are close at hand, while Marbella town centre, Puerto Banus and Malaga Airport are easily accessible, making it an appealing location for both permanent living and holidays.

There is a real sense of care behind this property, from its individual decorative touches to the way every space has been designed to be enjoyed. It is a house with character, warmth and all the ingredients for a wonderful life in this beautiful corner of Marbella.
