El Cid is one of the most impressive villas in southern Spain. Overlooking Los Flamingos golf course and Puerto Banús in the distance, this icon of modern architecture is surrounded by exotic gardens. A tennis court, putting green, three Jacuzzis, two swimming pools (including one indoors), substantial sunbathing decks and covered dining terraces are just the shortlist of the features at this extraordinary VillaHotel. Entertaining space is huge with the first floor balcony alone, large enough to hold the biggest parties with full catering and music systems. The interiors are equally impressive with sunlight pouring in through walls of glass. Original furniture pieces, eclectic works of art and double height, illustrated ceilings, create an almost surreal atmosphere. Each of the eight bedrooms has been designed in a different style including the highly original duplex master suite. El Cid is an extraordinary VillaHotel with interiors and gardens that manage to be both extremely comfortable and highly unusual.
