Fast forward 70 years, and the Golden Age glamor lives on.

To be sure, there are built aspects to the finca project.

Theres also a new hacienda-style structure, home to a cabinet of curiosities by French taxidermy establishment Deyrolle.

The interior of Rudi’s bar.

But Finca Ana Marias built environment is dwarfed by the propertys expanse of virgin, untamable nature.

Wellness is also a focus.

Elsewhere around Marbella, theres plenty new to lure first-time and repeat visitors.

The summer bar.

The property also has a new multi-brand concept shop stocking brands like Zimmermann and Guerlain.

Passing through the gates and into the estate, I could feel my pulse slow.

Starlings were circling the pink-streaked sky, and the buzz of cicadas filled the humid summer air.
