Villa El Martinete, the private setting for The Art of Ayurvedic Living, is a distinctive 10-bedroom beachfront villa in Marbella, chosen for its privacy, generous spaces and direct relationship with the Mediterranean.
The villa also has a remarkable artistic history. It was once owned by Antonio Ruiz Soler, "El Bailarin", one of Spain's celebrated flamenco dancers and choreographers. Pablo Picasso, an admirer of his work, sketched a portrait of Antonio that was later recreated in tiles at the bottom of the villa's swimming pool, where the mosaic remains today.
