South-facing grounds and a full renovation between the golf courses

A 120 m² terrace and a landscaped garden with a private swimming pool sit on the southern side of this 1,021 m² plot. Recently renovated throughout, this 6 bedroom detached villa in El Paraíso, Benahavís provides 372 m² of built area with direct views to the sea. Large windows and a double-height entrance hall bring daylight deep into the house from morning until late afternoon.

Plot, pool and outdoor kitchen

The grounds are arranged for daily use rather than just display. Alongside the private pool, the garden includes dedicated outdoor living areas and an outdoor kitchen, meaning meals can be prepared and eaten outside without carrying trays back and forth from the main house. An automatic irrigation system manages the planting across the plot, reducing the maintenance load for an owner who is not in residence full-time.

Kitchen and main living areas

At the centre of the layout is an open-plan kitchen built around a large marble island and fitted with Gaggenau appliances. A separate pantry keeps dry goods and countertop equipment out of sight, and a dedicated laundry and utility room handles the household linen away from the living areas. From the kitchen, the space opens into the dining and sitting areas, which lead straight out to the terrace and pool.

Six bedrooms and an independent suite

Each of the six bedrooms has a corresponding bathroom, fitted with Italian hardware and custom cabinetry. The principal bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and access to a large shared balcony that looks out over the sea. Crucially for a house of this size, one of the six bedrooms is completely self-contained, with its own private entrance and en-suite bathroom. This allows visiting relatives, older children or live-in staff to come and go without passing through the main house.

Heating, cooling and security

The renovation addressed the mechanical systems as well as the surfaces. There is underfloor heating in the main living areas and bathrooms, paired with individual air conditioning units so each room can be regulated on its own. Selected areas also have humidity-controlled ventilation, a practical inclusion on the coast for keeping closed rooms fresh. A home automation system controls the house, and security is handled by indoor and outdoor cameras, sensors and app-based monitoring.

Position in El Paraíso

Buying a 6 bedroom detached villa in El Paraíso, Benahavís usually means choosing a quiet residential street with mature trees, and this address sits directly between El Paraíso Golf and Atalaya Golf. Unusually for a property in the Benahavís municipality, the beach is within walking distance. Supermarkets, restaurants and international schools are close by for year-round living, while direct access to the A-7 and AP-7 coastal roads puts San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, Marbella and Estepona within a straightforward drive.
