Marbella Life Podcast: #45 Irache Villada Mikkelsen: From Law to Purpose

Today, we step inside the Marbella home of true elegance as I interview Irache Villada Mikkelsen. Born in Bilbao, trained in law, shaped by real estate, and now devoted to philanthropy and family. Between Lugano and Marbella, she lives a life of beauty, purpose, and intention. To me, she’s always been the ultimate style icon of Marbella - effortless, timeless… and yes, she designs interiors too. This is a conversation about life, family, travel, fashion - and what truly matters.
