Views of the Artola dunes and magazine-worthy decor are ready to fill camera rolls at this recently restored Marbella home. Its red-tiled roof and central courtyard exude traditional charm, while clean-lined pieces and woven accents evoke what’s hot in modern design. Cross the dunes on the boardwalk and connect with the beach and the 160-kilometer Senda Litoral coastal walk.

Greet the sun from a lounger on the terracotta terrace around the private swimming pool, snack at the pine-shaded outdoor table, and dine alfresco on fresh seafood from the barbecue in the glow of a fireplace in the courtyard. Send the kids to play on the foosball table while the grown-ups indulge in a sauna session.

The villa is laid out along the courtyard so that sunshine pours inside. Fold-away glass walls open the dining room and fully equipped kitchen to the outdoors, and sliding doors connect the living room to the pool terrace. Stools fashioned from tree trunks and woven area rugs are natural counterpoints to the sleek lines of mod Wishbone dining chairs and a striking ladder-like staircase.

For a day at the beach, step outside and cross the dunes to the shore. This stretch of the Marbella coast is quiet, thanks to a national-park designation around the dunes, but easy to explore, thanks to a coastal trail that winds past pine groves and fragrant juniper. Continue your holiday in Seville, Granada, or Cordoba, all 2 hours away.
