As houses go, Villa Alcuzcuz has an IQ as high as it can get. Not only does it think for itself, but it thinks for you too. It looks after itself, and it looks after you too.

What is it actually like to live in this privileged location? The house is a dream come true, but what about its surroundings?

Tips, recommendations and important aspects to consider when buying your Spanish property off-plan.

Villa Alcuzcuz, designed by UDesign and built by Bright, was honoured by the International Property Awards as “Best Architecture Single Residence” in Europe.

The 519 metre-squared entertainment space in Villa Alcuzcuz is truly out of this world.

Honoured by the International Property Awards, in the category “Architecture Single Residence” Villa Alcuzcuz is much more than just another luxury villa.

A great piece of furniture, like a piece of art, can bring together spaces, focus attention and set the mood. We’ve picked our 5 favourites from Vista Lago Residences.

Sustainability and luxury might be perceived as being on opposite ends of the comfort spectrum, but Villa Alcuzcuz brings the two together. How?

Villa Alcuzcuz, one of Bright’s debut projects currently under construction, has been recognised with a prestigious architecture award.

Thanks to the Passive House standard, luxury no longer needs to be associated with excessive use of resources and environmental negligence.

Luxury, in design and architecture, is often associated with excessive use of resources and environmental negligence. We were always taught to admire buildings and structures that defied physical and human laws, such as the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal and the Colosseum, but we've moved on over recent years. Concepts like sustainable development, green architecture and ergonomic design have now become less exceptional and more part of our everyday conversation. Bright is proud to present its own unique blend of luxury and contextual thinking: Villa Alcuzcuz, Marbella’s first luxury Passive House.

Vista Lago Residences comprises 18 design-led villas in one of the most perfect locations in the world. Overlooking a lake and the Mediterranean Sea beyond, with views of the Rock of Gibraltar and Africa; surrounded by beautiful mountainous terrain that does not obscure the sun, within short driving distance of the largely uninhabited hinterland leading up to Ronda but not more than 15 minutes drive to Puerto Banús and the other stylish urban centres along the coast, this is an exceptional location in an exceptional part of Southern Europe.
