There’s no doubt about it, contemporary architecture is very much in fashion at the moment and the demand for modern style villas and apartments for sale in Puerto Banus particularly is very much on the rise.

This current trend for clean, linear, minimalist designed apartments with the use of metals such as chrome and brushed steel, stone, wood and glass as key components both in their construction and decoration is perhaps a reflection of the technological age in which we live. Buyers want hi-tech, hi-spec kitchens fitted with the very latest appliances. They want smart home control systems, modern ambient lighting, home entertainment systems, fully-equipped personal gyms and state-of-the-art spas. Of course, these kinds of properties are not easy to come by and as with any product that is in great demand with limited supply, contemporary properties in Puerto Banus are now fetching higher prices than those more traditional properties in the area.

Take this absolutely stunning brand new ultra contemporary 7-bedroom villa built right on the beach just outside Puerto Banus pictured below.

It was designed and constructed by Carlos Lamas, one of the most respected architects in southern Spain and features the perfect combination of modern architecture with the very latest technology, including an intelligent home control system, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a home cinema and a fully-equipped gymnasium. Its price tag of €14.9M not only reflects the sheer quality of the property, but also its unbeatable location literally a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean sea and just a couple of minutes walk to the heart of Puerto Banus.
