Introducing The Lookout: A Luxury Rooftop Penthouse Transformation in the Heart of Marbella
Introducing The Lookout: A Luxury Rooftop Penthouse Transformation in the Heart of Marbella
At Niven Homes, we don’t just renovate properties — we reimagine spaces and elevate lifestyles. Our latest project, The Lookout, is a perfect example of what happens when vision meets precision, and luxury meets functionality.
Located in the highly sought-after area of Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, this 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom duplex penthouse has undergone a full-scale renovation — transforming a dated unit into a stunning, design-led holiday home now available to book on Airbnb.



From Outdated to Outstanding
When we acquired this penthouse, it had incredible potential — spacious, well-located, and with a private rooftop terrace. But the interiors were tired, the layout felt closed off, and the outdoor space was underutilised. That’s where our team came in.
Over several months, we fully stripped and rebuilt the property to meet the modern expectations of today’s luxury travellers and homeowners.
Key Renovation Features
1. Full Interior Redesign
We reconfigured the space to create an open-plan layout that flows seamlessly from the kitchen through the living area and out to the balcony — maximising natural light and usable space. Each of the four bedrooms now features an en-suite bathroom, premium finishes, and bespoke furnishings.



2. Rooftop Terrace Upgrade
One of the biggest selling points of The Lookout is its expansive rooftop terrace. We transformed this space into a fully functional outdoor living area complete with:
- A private hot tub
- Built-in outdoor kitchen and BBQ
- Stylish lounge and dining areas
- Mountain views that create the perfect backdrop from sunrise to sunset



3. Infrastructure Overhaul
Behind the scenes, we upgraded all plumbing, electrical systems, and lighting. We also re-sealed the roof, installed LED lighting, and re-tiled both interior and exterior spaces for a sleek, modern finish.



4. Furnishing & Styling
Every detail has been carefully curated — from the colour palette and lighting to soft furnishings and accessories. The result is a space that feels luxurious yet welcoming, modern yet timeless.



Now Available on Airbnb
The Lookout is now live on Airbnb and ready to welcome guests from around the world looking for a luxury stay in Marbella.
