When it comes to transforming spaces into timeless, characterful homes, few studios on the Costa del Sol match the consistency and creativity of High-End Homes. Led by Scandinavian designer Ann Sand, the Puerto Banús-based studio has earned a reputation for crafting elegant, highly functional interiors that feel considered rather than curated. Known for their seamless approach to full renovations, creative use of natural light and materiality, and the ability to work across a range of budgets, High-End Homes specialises in full-scope projects—from architectural design and layout, down to styling and furnishings.
Aqualina 3.7 is a shining example of the studio’s approach: a stylish, three-bedroom apartment in Benahavís, tailored for both private enjoyment and high-quality rentals. Combining refined finishes, local artistry, and high-impact design, the space makes the most of every square metre—bringing together contemporary comfort and enduring visual appeal.
High- End Homes on Designing with Intention
Located in the prestigious Aqualina development, the apartment was designed with an all-year-living concept in mind. The interiors are defined by soft, inviting tones that give the home a lived-in warmth, without compromising on its modern Mediterranean feel. Artwork by Norwegian photographer Per Bjørkum adds depth and texture, anchoring the space with narrative.
Clever, rental-friendly decisions were at the core of the design. Instead of spreading the budget thin, the team invested in lasting, low-risk elements such as quality lighting from Muuto and Flos, bespoke curtains, and custom wall-to-wall headboards that allow for both twin and double bed arrangements in the guest rooms. These features enhance functionality while elevating the space visually.
Liveable Luxury
The kitchen and dining areas were conceived for versatility. A stylish extendable table makes entertaining easy, while open shelves and tactile finishes keep the space relaxed but curated. The palette reflects the sun-drenched Costa del Sol setting—natural, warm, and effortlessly elegant.
The terrace, a key highlight, extends the home’s social spaces outdoors. With lounge and dining zones, it encourages open-air living for much of the year—ideal for both owners and guests.
More Than Just a Holiday Home
This project balances practicality and design, embodying the values that define High-End Homes: beauty, purpose, and longevity. As always, the studio used design to create value—appealing to the aesthetic expectations of modern travellers and the personal needs of its owners.
Residents of Aqualina benefit from exclusive spa and pool access, rounding out the lifestyle offering in one of the most desirable corners of the Costa del Sol.
High-End Homes offers a design team that brings an international flair to every project, delivering vision, cohesion, and personality. Whether you’re refreshing a rental property or undertaking new construction, their expertise will transform your space.
