The series of wild nights allegedly disturbed angry neighbours until 6am, it can be revealed.
The stunning property, aptly named Villa Luxury Paradise, is nestled in the hills of the exclusive neighbourhood of Salobrena, just a few miles from Motril, Granada, where he was born and raised.
The president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has been suspended by FIFA over the “non-consensual” kiss he planted on footballer Jenni Hermoso following their victory in the Women’s World Cup final.
But it’s the latest in the string of scandals to hit the Rubiales family after his uncle told an anti-corruption trial last year that Luis had illegally used RFEF funds to rent a luxury villa for an “orgy”.

Lubiales denied the claims, insisting the stunning villa was used to host a work meeting and that there had simply been “a barbecue and a paella with people of different genders.”
However, a neighbour today told The Sun: “I remember when he was here, the noise was crazy.
“Boom, boom, boom until the early hours, there was lots of music, drinking and lots of girls.
“I could hear them all laughing and partying until five or six in the morning. They were here for a couple of days.”

The local, who only gave her name as Maria, said the property was owned by an Italian businesswoman.
She added: “It was during the Covid pandemic and it was annoying but we did not call the police because that’s not the kind of neighbours we are.”
A local Spanish realtor, who asked not to be named, added: “This is an exclusive neighbourhood where Luis knows he is not going to get into any trouble.
“His family are so well known and loved here, they hold a lot of influence.”
Luis’s uncle Juan Rubiales told a court in Madrid last year that his mission was to “make life easy for the president, which meant organising and coordinating trips, agenda, institutional relations and organisation of the board of directors, etc.”
The former press officer of RFEF said the rental of the luxury villa was “solely for the enjoyment of him (Luis) and his closest team, paying the expenses with company cards from the RFEF.”
He added at the hearing that “a group of eight or ten young girls” were invited.
It later emerged that the girls were brought by a pal of Luis, Francisco Javier Martin Alcaide, a former footballer and hotel owner.
Luis’ uncle Juan was giving evidence to an anti-corruption hearing in Madrid last September when he made the claims.
He later insisted that RFEF funds were not used to pay for the villa, but that an employee stumped up the cash personally, and everyone who attended paid them back later.
The villa is described on its website as having 210sq metres of living space, three terraces, an infinity pool, a garden and a garage.
It comes as Rubiales is now facing a “sexual assault” probe after kissing World Cup hero Jennifer Hermoso on the lips.
Rubiales has refused to resign over the scandal – prompting mass walkouts of players and staff and plunging the World Cup-winning nation into crisis.
He has insisted the kiss was consensual and that he is the victim of character assassination by “false feminists”.
In a powerful statement, Hermoso said: “I felt vulnerable and a victim of an assault, an impulsive, macho act, out of place and with no type of consent on my part.”
But yesterday, Spanish FA chiefs demanded Rubiales quit, with Fifa provisionally suspending him for 90 days and launching proceedings.
The Spanish FA’s regional presidents held a five-hour meeting on Monday – concluding he should resign immediately.
In a lengthy statement they said: “After the latest events and the unacceptable behaviours that have seriously damaged the image of Spanish football, the presidents request that Mr. Luis Rubiales immediately present his resignation as president of the RFEF.”
Rubiales’ mother also revealed that she is “prepared to die” to get justice for her son as she launched a bizarre hunger strike protest.
Retired hairdresser Angeles Bejar is now more than 24 hours into a hunger strike she launched yesterday morning at a church in Motril.
She told a Spanish TV station: “I will stay here as long as my body holds out.
“I don’t mind dying for justice because my son is a decent person and it’s not fair what they’re doing.”

The current whereabouts of Rubiales are unknown, but he reportedly travelled to Motril for a holiday on Saturday despite the town hall’s cancellation of a football match he was due to take part in with friends at a municipal stadium for “security reasons.”
He is said to have met with some of his football pals at a country house just outside of town on Saturday afternoon but has not been seen in public since he shocked the world by refusing to resign at an extraordinary Spanish FA general assembly last Friday.
