Gardens & Outdoor Spaces at Villa La Gratitud (Marbella)

What you step into
Most villa gardens are the gap between the house and the pool. At Villa La Gratitud the outdoor space is a destination in itself — the kind that keeps groups on site for entire days without anyone feeling the pull to leave.
The plot spans 8,799 m². The landscaping is mature, manicured and thoroughly Andalusian in character, with colorful blooms, established trees and the kind of shade and structure that takes years to grow into. It wraps around the main house, the guest house, the pool, the terraces and the activity areas without ever feeling cluttered or underplanned.

Zone by zone
The pool terrace
The 229 m² main saltwater pool sits at the heart of the estate, framed by immaculate travertine terraces and manicured lawns. The proportions give a group of 24 plenty of room without anyone feeling crowded — sunbeds, shade and water in easy reach of one another. From every angle, the views extend to the sea.
The pool house
Fully equipped to keep the outdoor day self-contained: two fridges, ice maker, dishwasher, ceiling fans and a comfortable seating area. It handles towels, drinks and gear so the main house stays orderly.
The garden fire pit & reading area
A quieter corner of the estate — away from the pool and the activity areas — with a fire pit and seating for evenings that call for less noise and more sky. It works as a natural wind-down space after dinner or as a private spot for smaller conversations during larger stays.
The games area
Pétanque and ping pong set into the gardens for low-key outdoor play. The kind of thing that fills a post-lunch hour without requiring any organisation.
The paddle court
A full private court with built-in lighting and sea views — detailed separately on the paddle court page, but physically part of the outdoor grounds and integral to how the estate flows day to day.
