An Overview of Prince’s Villa in El Paraiso

Prince married his backing singer, Mayte Garcia, in 1996 on Valentine’s Day. Two years later, he bought the villa in El Paraiso as a gift for his wife. The villa is set in a hillside location that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, the valley, and the El Paraiso golf course, which is one of the best golf courses along the Costa Del Sol. It is also close to many amenities, attractions, and restaurants, as it is just west of Marbella. While they owned the property, Prince and his wife decorated the villa in an elaborate and ornate style. When the couple divorced in 1999, they sold the villa. The décor was not to the new owner’s taste, so they redecorated the property throughout. It is now more tasteful and in a style that is more widely desired. It was then put on the market in 2016 for $5.99 million, although this was later reduced to $5.2 million, says Home Stratosphere.
