More outdoor space than built area

The windows and terraces look out across the fairways of Atalaya Golf, surrounding greenery, and the Mediterranean Sea. This 2 bedroom duplex in Benahavís is a corner unit within the gated community of Atalaya Hills, built in 2019 and recently repainted. With 100 m² of built area and 122 m² of private terraces, the outdoor footprint is larger than the rooms inside, which defines how the property is used from day to day.

Inside the duplex

Accommodation consists of a living-dining room, a fully fitted kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and two bathrooms. Being a corner unit usually reduces shared party walls and brings in more side light, something to verify in each room when visiting. Climate control is handled by air conditioning, while both bathrooms have underfloor heating, a practical detail for winter mornings on the coast. Because the 100 m² built area is shared across the main living rooms and two bedrooms, buyers should check how much floor area the internal staircase takes up and measure the bedrooms against their own furniture.

The 122 m² terrace and communal facilities

Outdoor space is split between a main terrace directly off the living-dining room and an upper-floor private solarium. A south-west orientation means the terraces receive sun from midday right through the afternoon until sunset, which is welcome in winter and means you will likely want shading on the upper level in August. Within the gated perimeter of Atalaya Hills, the shared grounds include landscaped communal gardens and swimming pools, alongside indoor facilities consisting of a gym, a sauna, and a steam room.

Parking, storage and surroundings

Down in the basement, the property has two large underground parking spaces and a private storage room, with lift access connecting the garage to the residential levels. Having two bays for a 2 bedroom duplex in Benahavís is uncommon and solves the problem of where to leave a second car or visiting guests' vehicles, while the storage room keeps golf clubs and terrace cushions out of the flat. Outside the gates, the building sits next to Atalaya Golf, with a Mercadona supermarket and Atalaya International School nearby, and San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, and Marbella a short drive away.
