A jewel nestled in the heart of paradise.
Sheltered between two spectacular bays, with commanding views across the Mediterranean to mysterious Africa… Welcome, to magnificent Moana, an astonishing residence of truly incomparable distinction.
Located in the heart of Costa del Sol, Europe’s most exciting Mediterranean paradise, Moana is an oasis of luxury and exclusivity. Here you will experience dazzling vistas from private terraces and secret gardens. Take pleasure in your own cinema, library, health spa, and game rooms. Escape to lavishly appointed suites. And revel in the attentive care of a most discreet staff.
Irresistible temptation will entice you beyond Moana. To hike ancient trails and stroll secluded beaches. To discover world class golf, yachting, snow skiing (half the year) and horse racing. Enjoy museums, marvelous boutiques, splendid restaurants and glittering nightlife – all literally minutes away in the renowned coastal resort towns of Marbella and Fuengirola. Also to journey farther, into the charming Andalusian countryside, to explore historical Cordoba, Granada and Sevilla.
Cares will drift away. Splendor will envelop the senses. The outside world, forgotten. Such is the magic of Moana.
Timeless
Hidden from the outside world, an expansive granite drive passes lush topiary, elegant fountains and native plantings. A final curve, and all is revealed: the spectacular private world of Moana. Her magnificent stone façade commands the eye. First, to a gloriously vaulted entrance and symmetrical, flanking wings. Next you are drawn inside, where a night sky fresco twinkles high above, lighting your way towards east and west wings, each promising an abundance of gracious accommodations. Sweeping staircases, moulded ceilings, inlaid marble floors, exquisite trompe l’oeil walls, sumptuous antique furnishings, priceless accoutrement – the atmosphere is saturated with superlative artistry and craftsmanship. On the grandest scale, to the smallest detail, Moana delights with ageless appeal.
Extraordinary
Moana. From the Polynesian, meaning Beautiful Ocean View. The architecture and décor are reminiscent of an earlier time. The pace of life is slow, relaxing. Distractions are as rich and varied as minimal and serene as one could ever desire. Here you create your own definition of paradise. Here, cares will drift away. Here, splendor will envelop the senses and outside cares will be forgotten. Such is the magic of Moana.
Luxurious
Imagine sinking into the world’s finest linens as the cooling sea breezes carry you off to sleep. Awake, intoxicated by exquisite textures and fresh aromas, then by deeply pleasurable sights as your eyes take in the extraordinary surroundings. You are home at Moana, where each of ten bedrooms is an individual suite with its own well-appointed private bath, private terrace, and wealth of extraordinary finishings, including canopied beds, French antiques, Persian rugs, inlaid marble, separate dressing areas, lounging areas, and Jacuzzis. Each room offering 180 degrees of magnificent ocean view. A wonderfully mysterious hidden dressing room. Private walkways to secluded beachfront. Ahh, Moana. The sensations will last a lifetime.
Comfort
Time assumes its own character here, and employing it for exploration and appreciation is one of Moana’s most pleasurable pursuits. The ultimate discovery? Moana is first and foremost a home. The rich furnishings and the fine finishings, all so painstakingly selected for ultimate aesthetic pleasure, are intended above all to create intimate, livable spaces of gracious comfort and ease. The main Entrance Hall begs contemplation and appreciation. The sitting room beckons with an 18th century open-hearth fireplace and arched double doors of glass. The Drawing Room with its adjoining semi-enclosed sitting room is an ideal setting for the ancient art of conversation. This is but a beginning. Moana’s many artfully designed corridors hold wondrous promise of further discovery, further delight.
Invigorate
Travertine marble on walls and floors. Gracefully rising pillars. Tasteful murals and intricate mosaics inspired by roman frescoes from the ancient resort city of Pompeii are the surroundings that will nourish the spirit whilst tending the body at Moana. Two separate health spas offer a host of options. Swim against the current in a full-size indoor wave pool. Maintain strength and flexibility on such state-of-the-art fitness equipment as treadmills, life cycles, weights and a full complement of massive exercise machines. And you can always step outside for tennis, a run on the beach or an outdoor swim. Finally, unwind and escape in the Jacuzzi, tromp l’oeil massage rooms, two saunas and two Turkish baths. And when you are ready, the hairdressing salon awaits to pamper you with the finest beauty and grooming hair.
Delicious
Be it tapas on an outdoor terrace or a fully-appointed feast in our ocean front dinning room, Moana cuisine is prepared to the most exacting of personal tastes and desires by our own, award-winning private chef. Arguably one of the most charming rooms in the house, Moana’s main kitchen is a splendid recreation of 18th century France. Step down into its warmth and discover Languedoc marble basins and work surfaces, walk-in cold storage, and French antique cabinetry emblazoned with a splendid coat of arms, in which is housed a full array of restaurant-quality equipment. Moana also offers a fully stocked wine cellar, lifts for fast, discreet service, and in another wing of the house, a second fully appointed family kitchen for those who just cannot resist creating their own fresh, Mediterranean masterpieces.
Splendor
In this elemental paradise of sun, sky, wind and water, Moana pays homage with outdoor design that acts as a mirror, held up to nature. Gardens strive for harmony, pairing lush tropical flowers with reserved formal landscaping. Orchards bursts with mouth-watering fruits made thick and juicy by the penetrating rays of the sun. Our vast sundeck with its classical Moorish accents echoes the infinite Mediterranean horizon. And were it not for the gently swaying branches of surrounding palms, sky and water would be virtually indistinguishable in our shapely outdoor pool. Such aesthetic analysis will likely not be among conscious thoughts whilst worshipping the sun or sharing cocktails on a private terrace. But you know that you will feel it. Somewhere, inside, you will be moved by the splendor of Moana.
Visionary
Seamlessly integrated throughout Moana are today’s state-of-the-art technologies. Digital communications instantly and easily connect this exclusive paradise with the rest of the world. Satellite television beams in global images, thoughts, ideas and events. Superior sound systems fill the air with music of your choosing. The worlds finest films in our library and can be screened in virtually any room of the house on superior televisions tucked inside fine antique furnishings or spectacular plasma screens suspended from ceilings. Our dedicated art deco cinema features Dolby THX 360 degrees surround sound, upholstered walls, and sumptuous leather reclining armchairs. Retractable doors transform indoor spaces to out. As is with all rooms, the Game Room is individually climate-controlled for maximum levels of comfort, even during the most intense game play.
Pampering
As with all things Moana, personal service here is considered an art form. It is delivered with absolute discretion. With total commitment. With quiet pleasure and fierce pride in excellence. In short, with utter professionalism. Well-trained and dedicated to the creation of a smooth, well-run household, the friendly staff at Moana work together seamlessly, almost invisibly, seeing to it that every need is met, but also, more often than not, anticipated. The house sparkles at all times. Thoughtful beauty accents the rooms – a single bloom here, masses of flowers there, a bowl of freshly picked fruit. Laundry is handled quickly and with impeccable care. The grounds are a feast to behold. Errands and personal requests are welcome. Smiles are genuine and abundant. In the world’s pre-eminent land of sun, the people of Moana understand that true warmth comes from within.
