The world is hooked on reality shows, from dating programmes to fly-on-the-wall documentaries that follow the lives of successful people and celebrities.
Many of the most captivating reality shows feature contestants living together in a stunning property under constant scrutiny. Think about the luxurious mansions in tropical paradises that house the Love Island hopefuls, the impressive London townhouse where The Apprentice candidates battle it out, Escape to the Chateau’s French dream, or the spectacular Vanderpump Villa. These amazing properties provide the perfect backdrop for all the drama, excitement, and unfolding stories.
Marbella is a favourite destination for reality TV shows. It all started with Life on Marbs in 2015, which shone a light on expats living and working in the area. The Only Way is Essex has filmed here, and numerous property shows follow people searching for their dream home. The latest Marbella-based reality show, Making it in Marbella, follows a group of Swedish estate agents selling luxury properties in the region.
Seeing Marbella back on the small screen has made us wonder—what villa would make the perfect setting for a future reality show? The answer has to be Villa Almost Heaven. This spectacular six-bedroom villa, located in the prestigious area of Nueva Andalucía, has undeniable star appeal and looks like it belongs on a reality show. Even better, it’s available as a holiday rental property through Vacation Marbella, so you can live like a star too!
Why Does This Mansion Look Like Something Out of a Reality Show?
Huge Infinity Pool with Sun Loungers
Bikini-clad contestants are always seen soaking up the sun around a sparkling blue infinity pool—and you can do the same at Villa Almost Heaven. Even better, this pool is heated, so you can enjoy it all year round!
Large Entertaining Areas
Reality TV shows often feature parties, lavish dinners, and special occasions, meaning large sofas, long tables, and both indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces are essential. Villa Almost Heaven offers an abundance of options, including a fantastic sunken fire pit.
Rooftop Terrace with Jacuzzi
When things start getting interesting, couples in reality shows often sneak away for a private moment in a secluded spot—usually a rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi. At Villa Almost Heaven, you can recreate these special moments while enjoying breathtaking views of Marbella’s iconic La Concha Mountain.
What Reality Shows Could Have Been Filmed at Villa Almost Heaven?
Selling Sunset
This villa would fit perfectly among the stunning properties featured in Selling Sunset, where elite real estate agents showcase homes to high-end clientele. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, opulent interiors, and vast outdoor space with a pool, Villa Almost Heaven has an undeniable LA star quality.
Vanderpump Rules
Lisa Vanderpump’s Beverly Hills home, Villa Rosa, is known for its spectacular infinity pool, elegant seating areas, large windows, and luxurious master suite. Villa Almost Heaven offers all of this—and you don’t have to fly to California to experience it!
Don’t Hate the Player
We can easily imagine contestants from Don’t Hate the Player gazing longingly up at Villa Almost Heaven, wishing they could swap their camp for this lavish retreat. Both the show’s villa and our Marbella hotspot feature gorgeous pools, shaded seating areas, contemporary architecture, and luxurious interiors.
Anyone Can Feel Like a Reality Show Star
Even without cameras following your every move, you can experience the luxury lifestyle at Villa Almost Heaven. With Instagram-worthy shots at every turn, your friends and followers will be envious of your stay. Plus, the villa is located just a short distance from glamorous Puerto Banús, where many famous faces have walked before you!
