An inverted layout built for the mountain views

The upper terrace looks straight out to the surrounding mountains. This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom duplex in Benahavís uses an inverted plan across its 127 m² of built area, putting the bedrooms on the lower entry level and the day rooms upstairs where the light and the outlook are better.

Entry level and sleeping quarters

Access is on the lower floor through a private terrace right beside the parking area, which makes carrying groceries or luggage in from the car straightforward. All three bedrooms sit on this quieter level alongside one full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are full-sized and bright, while the third bedroom is an extra-small room fitted with a bunk bed. A buyer should measure this third room during a viewing; it works for children or occasional guests, not as a main double bedroom.

Upstairs living room and kitchen

An internal staircase leads up to the open-plan living room, which has a working fireplace for winter evenings in the hills. The kitchen and the second bathroom are also on this upper level, so there is no need to go downstairs during the day or when guests are over. Having a bathroom on each floor gives the flat practical separation when all three bedrooms are occupied.

Two terraces and communal courts

Outdoor space totals 12 m² across two terraces. The lower terrace acts as a practical buffer and entry court beside the parking, while the upper terrace steps out from the lounge to face the panoramic mountain views. Because 12 m² is split between two levels, neither terrace is large; the upper one is sized for a small table and chairs rather than loungers. Outside the building, the community maintains a large communal swimming pool set in green gardens, plus tennis and padel courts on site.

Walking into Benahavís village

From the complex, the whitewashed centre of Benahavís is within walking distance, giving direct access to its bakeries, squares, tapas bars and restaurants without taking the car. For walking and sport, the village sits at the foot of the Sierra de las Nieves with several golf courses nearby, while the coast at Marbella and Puerto Banús is a 15-minute drive down the hill. This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom duplex in Benahavís suits a buyer who wants village life on foot and mountain views from the lounge, and who is comfortable using stairs between the sleeping and living areas.
