Villa Hermes

Location
Marbella’s origins date back to the arrival of Phoenician traders in the 7th century BC. They were just the first in a long line of arrivals that included the Romans, who called it ‘Salduba’ (Salt City) and the Moors, until it transformed itself into Europe’s sun- soaked playground in the 1960s. Today it remains one of the most desirable residential areas in Europe, and Villa Hermes is in one of its most enviable locations – Nueva Andalucia.


Nueva Andalucia
Nueva Andalucia is an attractive residential area because of its wealth of amenities, as well as its diversity. In the south, it borders Puerto Banús, with its marina and upmarket shops, as well as beaches, whilst its northern enclaves offer the leafy green tranquillity that comes from edging into the countryside. Another of its attractions is its Golf Valley and the easy access to more than three superb courses.




Climate
Marbella enjoys an unusually pleasant microclimate. This is due to its position with the Mediterranean Sea and beaches to the south and the Sierra Blanca mountain range behind it to the north. This ensures it has an enviable climate that provides 2,900 hours of sunshine annually.




Amenities
Marbella is known for its glamorous lifestyle and for being the holiday destination of world famous celebrities. There are designer shops and super yachts, as well as sports facilities that range from tennis and golf to surfing and horseback riding. Healthcare provision is of a very high standard, and there are numerous international schools providing an excellent education, with many pupils attaining places at the world’s best universities. Málaga international airport is only a 40-minute drive from Villa Hermes, and the routes it serves have expanded to include New York, Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as excellent connections to the Middle East.




This very special 8-bedroom, 11-bathroom contem- porary villa is situated a mere 4 to 5-minute drive from the famous Puerto Banús marina in the tranquil surroundings of Nueva Andalucia.
