Open yourself to unexpected moments at La Sorpresa. Contemporary architecture, sea views and the balmy Costa del Sol weather create a relaxed, inviting ambience at this luxury Marbella vacation rental, whose name means “the surprise.” Invite up to eight friends or family to see what serendipity awaits.

Set on a peaceful, private hillside amid pine and cork trees, La Sorpresa opens to an expansive terrace overlooking the mountains and sea. Settle into a lounge chair in the sun, swim in the long infinity pool or barbecue local seafood to serve at the al-fresco dining area. Inside, the villa’s features include an exercise area, steam room, games room and wine cellar.

The villa’s bright, open-plan interiors incorporate modern luxuries in a stylish way. The rooms are linked by traditional brick archways, the sweeping staircase is adorned with wrought iron, and the living and dining areas open to the terrace through huge sliding glass doors. There’s plenty of space for everyone to gather on the sectional in the living room, the wicker chairs around the dining table and at the breakfast bar in the fully equipped kitchen.

The four bedrooms at La Sorpresa can easily accommodate groups of friends or families on holiday together. There are three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms: a master suite with a king bed, and two bedrooms with queen beds and private terraces. The fourth bedroom has a king bed, a single bunk bed and shares a hall bathroom.

Though the villa feels secluded, it’s only a short drive from some of the best beaches and prettiest towns along the Costa del Sol. Make the 5-minute trip to San Pedro for a relaxed afternoon on golden sand underneath fragrant eucalyptus trees, or the 15-minute drive to Playa Puerto Banus to stroll the boardwalk and play in the warm, shallow water. There’s a golf course just 10 minutes away, and everything from souvenir shops to honeymoon-worthy dining in downtown Marbella, 15 minutes away.
