Three floors built top-down into the La Mairena hillside

Because the plot slopes down toward the coast, you step into the top floor first, drop down to the middle floor to cook and eat, and go down once more to reach the garden and pool. This 6 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Elviria sits in the hillside district of La Mairena and measures 437 square metres of built area across those three levels. Every floor faces out toward the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Where the bedrooms and living spaces sit

Instead of putting all the sleeping quarters at the top and the living rooms at the bottom, the house splits them up. The entrance level holds a lounge and three of the bedrooms, all looking out to sea through tall glass doors. Down on the middle level, the day-to-day living happens in one connected room where an open-plan kitchen with a pantry meets the main dining and sitting areas. Five of the six bedrooms across the house have en-suite bathrooms, and there are six bathrooms in total, so guests and family members rarely have to share.

The lower level, gym and sauna

The bottom floor works almost as a separate wing for guests, older children or working from home. It holds the remaining three bedrooms — one of which currently serves as an office — alongside a second television lounge, an equipped gym and a sauna. For anyone considering a 6 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Elviria for full-time use, this lower floor keeps work, exercise and evening noise away from the main kitchen and the upstairs bedrooms. Across the house, underfloor heating and electric shutters are already fitted, which matters in the cooler winter months up on the hill.

The 1,529 m² plot and the terraces

Outdoor space is divided between the middle-floor dining terrace, a covered lower terrace and the grounds. In total, there are 174 square metres of terrace across the building. The middle terrace steps straight out from the kitchen and dining room for outdoor meals with open sea and mountain views. One floor down, the covered terrace is currently set up as a games area and leads out via a path to the private swimming pool and garden, which sit on a 1,529 square metre plot angled toward the coastline.

Living in La Mairena above the coast

La Mairena is a quiet, established hillside neighbourhood surrounded by protected oak and pine trees, 5 kilometres inland from Elviria. Buying this 6 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Elviria means trading walk-to-the-beach convenience for elevation, greenery and wider views. You do not need to drive down to the coast for everything: the immediate area has two private schools, a golf course, a tennis club, a restaurant and a small shop for daily essentials.
