Three floors and 1,425 m² of built area in Paraíso Alto

Views from the terraces take in the mountains and the coast. This 7 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Paraiso sits in the hills of Paraíso Alto, west of San Pedro de Alcántara, and provides 1,425 m² of built area across three levels connected by a lift.

Plot, courtyard and outdoor spaces

The house occupies a 2,750 m² plot laid out with landscaped private gardens, green areas and a central courtyard. Around the building, 250 m² of terraces create outdoor living areas facing the mountains and the coast. The private swimming pool sits within the gardens, and there is direct garden access from the kitchen and direct garden and pool access from the lower-level guest quarters. A plot of this size gives genuine separation from neighbouring houses, though a buyer should factor in the ongoing maintenance required for mature grounds and a large pool.

Main reception rooms and the master suite

Inside, the house is finished with marble and high ceilings, and includes three fireplaces across the rooms. Rather than a single open-plan space, the layout divides into distinct rooms: reception areas, living rooms, a formal dining room, a guest powder room, an office and two separate libraries. The kitchen is fully equipped with semi-industrial functionality, generous storage and direct garden access, which makes catering for large numbers straightforward. Across the property there are seven bedrooms and five bathrooms in total. The main bedroom suite is arranged for two people who want their own space: it has two separate bathrooms—one fitted with a Jacuzzi bathtub, the other with a hydromassage spa shower—alongside two large dressing rooms.

Lower level, guest apartment and five-car garage

The lower floor holds a large guest apartment with its own dressing room and direct step-out access to the gardens and pool, allowing visitors or older relatives to come and go independently of the main house. An additional bedroom, a service area, an ironing room and multiple storage rooms sit on this same level. For indoor leisure, there is a party room, a bar and a sauna. Vehicle storage is handled by a private garage with capacity for up to five cars, keeping cars off the driveway and under cover.

Building systems and location in Benahavís

Running a 7 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Paraiso of this scale relies on proper mechanical installations. The building is fitted with both hot and cold air conditioning and central heating, satellite TV, an alarm system and reinforced doors. The passenger lift links the floors, which is a practical necessity in a three-storey house of over fourteen hundred square metres. Paraíso Alto falls within the municipality of Benahavís, in the hills inland from the coast road. From here, it is a short drive to San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús and Marbella, as well as nearby golf courses, beaches, international schools and restaurants.
