The story

A flamenco dancer's villa with a Picasso pool near Marbella

El Martinete is one of the long-standing estates on the Costa del Sol, just outside Marbella. Its first owner was Antonio Ruiz Soler, known as El Bailarín, one of Spain's most famous flamenco dancers, and he named the villa after the martinete, the flamenco he created. A home of classic Mediterranean architecture sits in lush gardens by the beach, with classic and modern interiors side by side.

The main feature outdoors is the La Danza pool, which carries a drawing by Pablo Picasso. The gardens suit an afternoon ceremony or an evening dinner in the scent of orange blossom, and the rooms inside, with crystal chandeliers and gold detail, work for a winter celebration. The villa has a renovated spa with an indoor pool, a Finnish sauna and a fitness area, with trainers, masseuses and beauticians on call.
