Scandinavian-Inspired Contemporary Villa Project in Manilva

A beautifully considered contemporary villa where Scandinavian simplicity meets the natural light and relaxed lifestyle of the Mediterranean.

Set on an independent 430 m² plot in the sought-after coastal area of Chullera, Manilva, this newly built residence combines clean architectural lines with warm natural materials, generous glazing and a carefully balanced approach to indoor-outdoor living. With approximately 300 m² of built area, the villa offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, private terraces, landscaped gardens and a private swimming pool.

The architectural concept draws inspiration from contemporary Nordic design, prioritising functionality, natural materials and a sense of calm. Light timber, soft mineral textures, neutral tones and generous glazing create an interior that feels warm, refined and timeless. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape and bring abundant natural light into the principal living spaces.

The ground floor is designed around comfortable everyday living and effortless connection with the outdoors. A generous open-plan living and dining area flows into a contemporary kitchen with a clean-lined, functional design and carefully integrated storage. Large sliding doors connect the principal living spaces directly with the terrace, garden and pool, creating a fluid transition between the interior and exterior.

The ground floor also features a comfortable double bedroom, offering an ideal private space for guests, family members or those who prefer single-level living. A contemporary bathroom serves this level, with carefully selected natural-toned finishes and a refined, understated aesthetic.

The first floor is dedicated to privacy and tranquillity, with two further bedrooms and access to a spacious private terrace. The principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with generous glazing and direct access to the terrace, while the second bedroom offers comfortable accommodation for family or guests. The upper terrace creates an additional outdoor living space, ideal for morning coffee, evening relaxation or enjoying the surrounding landscape and Mediterranean sunsets.

The interiors follow the same philosophy throughout: understated, tactile and inviting. Rather than relying on excessive decoration, the design combines natural textures, warm timber elements, soft neutral surfaces and carefully integrated architectural lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere that feels equally suited to relaxed everyday living and entertaining.

Outside, the private swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the garden, surrounded by generous terraces designed for outdoor dining, relaxation and enjoying the Costa del Sol sunshine. Mediterranean landscaping combines low-water planting with natural materials to create a sense of privacy and continuity with the surrounding environment while keeping maintenance to a minimum.

The villa has also been conceived with flexibility in mind. The natural configuration of the property allows for additional space that can be adapted according to the owner's needs, whether as a private gym, cinema room, home office, storage or other lifestyle space.

Comfort and energy efficiency are integrated into the design. High-quality thermal insulation, efficient glazing, ducted climate control, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and optimised natural ventilation contribute to a comfortable environment throughout the year. The home's orientation and generous glazing further maximise natural light while strengthening its connection with the surrounding landscape.

Private parking for two vehicles is provided within the plot, with access through an automated entrance gate.

A refined interpretation of contemporary Mediterranean living, combining Scandinavian warmth, functional design and natural materials with the light, climate and outdoor lifestyle of the Costa del Sol.
