Embracing the light
South and south-west facing homes in Marbella offer a multitude of benefits. Here are just 5 of them:
Abundant sunshine: These orientations maximise natural light throughout the day, creating bright and cheerful living spaces.
Energy efficiency: The sun's rays naturally heat your home in winter, potentially lowering your heating bills.
Thriving plant life: Gardens and terraces flourish with ample sunlight, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and green thumbs alike.
Extended daylight: South-west facing homes enjoy beautiful afternoon and evening sun, perfect for alfresco dining and outdoor relaxation.
Natural temperature regulation: Well-designed south-facing windows can help manage heat gain, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
The Marbella Club Hills advantage
At Marbella Club Hills, we've carefully considered orientation in our design:
- Our villas and villa apartments are strategically positioned to maximize south and south-west exposure.
- The project spans an impressive 158,000 sq m (equivalent to 18 football pitches!), ensuring ample space, greenery, and light for all residences.
- We've thoughtfully designed homes to balance light and comfort, with northern light often directed into living spaces or TV rooms to reduce glare and excessive heat.
Indoor-Outdoor living
The orientation of Marbella Club Hills homes supports the popular alfresco lifestyle:
- Living areas seamlessly connect to private terraces, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor spaces.
- Large windows and doors bring the outdoors in, maximising views and natural light.
Energy efficiency and comfort
A south-west orientation isn't just about aesthetics – it's also about practicality:
- In winter, the sun naturally warms your home, potentially reducing heating costs.
- During summer, clever design can help exclude excessive heat, maintaining comfort without relying heavily on air conditioning.
When choosing your home in Marbella, remember that orientation is a fixed feature – no amount of renovation can change it. By opting for a south or south-west facing home, you're investing in natural light, energy efficiency, and a lifestyle that makes the most of Marbella's beautiful climate. At Marbella Club Hills, we've prioritised these orientations to ensure our residents can fully enjoy the sunny advantage of life on the Costa del Sol.
