The Trusted Interior Designer of the Dutch Royal Family Sells Her Villa in Marbella for €10.8 Million
MARBELLA, MALAGA, SPAIN, May 13, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Renowned interior designer Mariska Dietz, trusted by the Dutch royal family and a close friend of Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, has put her spectacular residence in Marbella on the market: Villa Las Tortugas. The luxury real estate agency Pure Living Properties, a specialist in the premium property market, is handling the sale of this property located in the Los Monteros Playa area, with an asking price of €10,850,000.
Set on a 3,683 m² plot, this unique estate comprises three independent properties, spacious gardens, various terraces, a sea-view swimming pool, and a gym, among other luxury features. The main villa, spread over two levels, boasts seven en-suite bedrooms, where traditional Andalusian architecture blends seamlessly with tropical design elements and high-end finishes.
The interiors, spanning 1,193 m², have been meticulously designed by Mariska Dietz herself to maximise natural light and a sense of spaciousness, creating a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere, which she describes as her 'Mediterranean dream'. Sustainable materials, such as clay walls and solar panels, reinforce the villa's commitment to efficiency without compromising on aesthetics.
'Villa Las Tortugas is a work of art in itself. Every corner has been designed with clear intention, making it a truly unique property. What's more, it's extraordinarily rare to find a triple plot with three homes in one of Marbella's finest areas. This combination of exclusivity, privacy, and space positions it as one of the best opportunities on Marbella's current property market,' says Javier Nieto, CEO of Pure Living Properties.
A Design with Character and Soul
Every corner of Villa Las Tortugas reflects the artistic vision and talent of Mariska Dietz, who has worked with international elites and European royalty. 'When I designed this villa, my goal was for every room to tell a story and evoke emotions. It's not just a house – it's a sensory experience,' explains the interior designer, who also designed a mansion in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, purchased by world-renowned singer The Weeknd.
At Villa Las Tortugas, the outdoor spaces have been designed to seamlessly integrate with the Mediterranean surroundings. The central courtyard, open and covered terraces, and private pool with open-concept bar create a unique atmosphere, especially crafted to enjoy Marbella's year-round sunshine.
Inside, the designer plays with unexpected textures and shapes, combining pieces from different eras and origins.
'I always try to bring a touch of humour and a relaxed feel to every space. Interiors that are too serious lose their soul,' she says. The main living room blends sculptural elements with vintage furniture, bamboo lighting, and abstract art, while the master bedroom, featuring a canopy bed and sand-toned textiles, evokes a deep sense of calm. With steady appreciation and a prime location, Los Monteros – one of Marbella's earliest luxury residential areas – stands out as one of the best places to invest in the city in 2025.
According to Pure Living Properties, a real estate agency specialising in premium areas, demand has been steadily increasing, while supply remains limited, particularly in the Los Monteros Playa area, resulting in significant price growth in recent years.
Data from Idealista indicates that property prices in the area have seen a monthly increase of +1.3% and a quarterly rise of +3.9% — one of the highest in Marbella during this period — bringing the average price to €4,687/m². This highlights the strength of demand and the vibrancy of the local market. Furthermore, its strategic location just 10 minutes from Marbella centre and 40 minutes from Málaga International Airport makes it a highly attractive option for both buyers and investors.
'Los Monteros is one of the areas with the greatest growth potential in Marbella. Its exclusivity, privacy, and strategic location have made it a hotspot for high-level investments. Demand over the past year has grown exponentially, and forecasts indicate that it will continue to strengthen its position as a key area in the luxury real estate market. Moreover, supply here is very limited, so each property for sale is a rare opportunity,' says Nieto.
One of the Most Exclusive Investments in East Marbella
Los Monteros Playa is one of Marbella's most privileged and discreet areas, chosen by those seeking tranquillity, security, and direct beach access. In recent years, East Marbella has experienced sustained growth in demand for luxury properties, solidifying its status as one of the areas with the highest potential for appreciation. 'This villa represents the best of luxury design and Marbella exclusivity. Its combination of privacy, high-quality architecture, and an unbeatable location make it one of the standout properties on today's market,' says the CEO of Pure Living Properties.
The appeal of Los Monteros has not gone unnoticed by major players in the hospitality and real estate industries. The reopening of the iconic Hotel Los Monteros under the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants brand in March 2025 marked a new milestone for the area, further cementing its reputation as a top destination for international investors. Interest from investors in the United States, the Middle East, and Europe has grown significantly in recent years. As a result, growth in Los Monteros has outpaced other areas in East Marbella, making it a safe bet for those seeking a high-return, appreciating property asset.

NFL Great J.J. Watt Enjoys Honeymoon Period As Espanyol Shareholder
Dawn is breaking at Espanyol in Spain's La Liga. Fans of the Parakeets, a team less followed and with more grounded aims than local colossus Barcelona, hope it won't be a false one. Meanwhile, ex-defensive end J.J. Watt has a role to play. Now turning his attention towards being an NFL game analyst this coming season at CBS Sports, dissecting a game he knows inside out, Watt got a first taste of another new role—in soccer—last weekend. The 36-year-old looked on from the stands, fists pumping, as Espanyol fought back to beat Atlético Madrid in the surprise result from the opening matchday. The former Houston Texans player is a shareholder of Velocity Sports Limited (VSL), an investment branch of ALK Capital, which is led by U.S. managing partner Alan Pace. VSL acquired Espanyol from the Rastar Group, controlled by the Chinese businessman Chen Yensheng, for a reported €130 million ($152 million) in July (though Rastar retains some input). VSL also controls Premier League club Burnley. Much optimism surrounds Watt's arrival. El Mundo has gone as far as calling him Espanyol's new idol (Spanish). Much of that is down to the American ingratiating himself after saying a couple of phrases in Catalan, enjoying a beer with supporters outside the stadium, and getting behind the players inside it. Watt says he can't return there until February because of work commitments on Sundays, yet it's already a shift from the previous owners, who were rarely present and oversaw two relegations despite initially eyeing a place in the Champions League. Is The Future Bright For Espanyol? There's a peculiarity with ownership in soccer today. Many, even those who attend every fixture or know their side's history back to front, will understand that a foreign executive arriving on the scene doesn't. But if they stay involved, not least by investing in the squad, that's good enough. Very much the face of VSL in Espanyol right now, Watt has made a good impression. Then again, it's the honeymoon period, and at a club whose main target will still be avoiding demotion to the second division. How Espanyol does under U.S. guidance in the long term is what matters. It's worth noting that while Burnley and Espanyol are part of the same investment group, and therefore could be deemed part of the growing multi-club ownership model, the Spanish entity stressed that each will remain independent. Still, when interests are diversified, does Espanyol become the priority, or is that consolidating Burnley's place in the Premier League? Then, there's a cultural angle; Watt may have donned the blue and white scarf, but VSL is adapting to a different division in a different country, and everything that entails. U.S. Links To Spanish Soccer Are Tightening Of course, U.S. majority ownership in European soccer—Spain in this instance—is nothing new. Notably, top-tier Mallorca has former tennis player Andy Kohlberg at the top, while Leganés—relegated to the Segunda in 2024/25—is led by Blue Crow Sports CEO Jeff Luhnow. All the while, the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) has approved controversial plans to host a first La Liga game on U.S. soil (Miami) this December. As the games and seasons progress, with Espanyol set on taking more scalps after the fast start against Atlético, it will become clearer whether the Catalans benefit from their end of the deal. At least the initial signs are promising.
