bluedoorvillas.com - Villa Moana Hidden from the outside world, a rather unassuming entrance leads you into another world. An expansive granite drive passes lush topiary, elegant fountains and native tropical blooms.

A final curve and all is revealed ; the spectacular private world of Moana.

With magnificent stone facades, glorious vaulted entrance and commanding wings on each side.

Next you are drawn inside, where a night sky fresco twinkles high above, lighting your way towards the east and west wings, each promising an abundance of gracious accommodation. Sweeping staircases, moulded ceilings, priceless accoutrement and sumptuous furnishing, announce this is a home not just a house. On the grandest scale to the smallest detail, Moana delights with ageless appeal.

The Details :

Moana, from the Polynesian, meaning ‘Beautiful Ocean View’ is a breathtaking house. The architecture and décor are reminiscent of an earlier time. The pace of life is slow and relaxing. Here, you create your own definition of paradise, splendor will envelope the senses and outside cares will be forgotten, such is the magic of Moana.

The main entrance hall begs contemplation and appreciation. The drawing room with its adjoining semi-enclosed sitting room is an ideal setting for ancient art of conversation. A discreet lift leads you gently up to the first floor where you will find an expansive living area. There are two sitting rooms, one with a marble fire place, a glorious formal dining room and a large open plan living space and dining area with informal seating areas and a stunning vestibule. This room is encircled by retractable glass doors that create a unique outdoor / indoor living space.

Each of the ten bedrooms is an individual suite with it’s own well appointed bathroom, private terrace, a wealth of sumptuous finishes including canopied beds, French antiques, beautiful Persian rugs, separate dressing areas and Jacuzzis. Each room rewards its guests with magnificent 180 degree Ocean views.

Moana is first and foremost a home. The rich furnishings, so painstakingly selected for ultimate aesthetic pleasure, are intended above all to create intimate living spaces of gracious comfort.

Seamlessly integrated throughout Moana are today’s state-of-the-art technologies, connecting this exclusive paradise with the outside world. With discreetly placed satellite televisions, tucked away in antique furniture or at the touch of a button, plasma screens appear suspended from the ceilings. An extensive library of films can be screened in virtually every room in the house. A dedicated art deco cinema rewards guests with Dolby surround sound, upholstered walls and reclining leather armchairs.
Invigorate both mind and body in two indoor health spas. Swim against the tide in the full-size wave pool. Maintain strength and flexibility on the state-of-the-art fitness equipment including, treadmills, life cycles, weights and a full compliment of passive exercise machines. You can then step outside for a game of tennis, a run on the beach or enjoy a cooling dip in the fabulous out door swimming pool. Finally you can unwind in the Jacuzzi, massage rooms, two saunas and two Turkish baths. Once you have looked after your inner beauty, let the in house stylist pamper you in the hairdressing salon.

At Moana the cuisine is prepared to the most exacting of personal tastes and desires by its very own Michelin star chef. Moana’s main kitchen has Languedoc marble basins and work surfaces, walk-in cold storage and French antique carpentry emblazoned with Moanas splendid coat of arms. There is also a second family kitchen for those who want to create their own culinary masterpiece.

Gardens strive for harmony, pairing lush tropical blooms with reserved formal landscaping. Wonderful and unusual sculptures are hidden amongst the formal borders. Stroll through the beautiful gardens to discover secret corners with stylish outdoor furniture, ideal for private moments of quiet contemplation. Discreet gates lead on to the secluded beach where guests can dip their toes into cool Mediterranean waters. A terracotta tiled sundeck surrounds the magnificent swimming pool and swaying branches of the palm trees offer cooling shade on a hot summer’s day.
This remarkable house is fully staffed to include a House manager, Butler, Household staff and an Award winning private chef.

As with all things Moana, personal service here is considered and art form. It is delivered with absolute discretion and total commitment. With quiet pleasure, fierce pride in excellence and with utter professionalism well trained friendly staff at Moana work together seamlessly, almost invisibly, seeing to it that every need is met, but also, more often than not, anticipated.

A house of timeless, extraordinary and luxurious splendour. Such is the magic of Moana, quite simply a jewel nestled in the heart of a paradise oasis, yet the hustle and bustle of Marbella is a short drive away.

As we near the end of our successful summer season we would like to share some of the highlights with you.

This year, being host to the president of a world nation was among our most positive experiences. He was able to say that Villa Moana is the best villa he has ever rented and we expect to host him again. The King of Spain sent us his direct thanks for welcoming his important guest.

Again we were able to welcome as friends repeat guests who continue to enjoy our unique home and high level of service. That they could express how we continue to surprise and delight them is a great joy to us.

In a programme on luxury in Marbella, Canal Cuatro featured the villa not only as the most beautiful on the Costa del Sol but also - because of our unique position directly on the beach - as the most exclusive.

As always we were pleased to be able to meet the needs of all our guests. These varied from self catered with some special gala evenings to full service requiring the talents of top chefs, butlers and concierge staff.

For some of our guests we had the opportunity to organise excursions to the historical centres surrounding the villa, yachting and fishing trips, jet ski excursions direct from the beach to the Marbella beach clubs for lunch, flamenco performances here at the villa, parties for special occasions

A wonderful wedding was held entirely on the property, the wedding planner made full use of every special area within the grounds to create unique environments for each moment of the day. We felt it was a spectacular event, organised to the highest professional standards and televised on national television. The event was fully catered, and many musical acts performed throughout the day, finishing with an outdoor dance floor and D.J in the small hours.
