A renovated ground floor flat with a 66 m² terrace and sea views

A 66-square-metre terrace serves as the entrance and main outdoor space for this 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Benahavis, Benahavís. Because you enter the home across the terrace, the outdoor area acts as a true front courtyard rather than a bolt-on balcony, and it looks out toward the sea.

The terrace and what the community includes

At 66 square metres, the terrace has roughly the same footprint as a smaller one-bedroom flat. That gives enough room to separate outdoor dining from lounging without moving furniture around. The apartment is part of Las Colinas de Marbella, a gated community in the hills of Benahavís. Having a gated perimeter matters if the property is left empty between visits, as access to the grounds is restricted. A buyer viewing the property should check how the entrance across the terrace works in practice for daily deliveries and visitors, and how much privacy the terrace retains from neighbouring properties.

145 m² built area and resin floors

The 145-square-metre built area is large for a two-bedroom property on this part of the coast, where many three-bedroom flats fit into less space. The home has been completely renovated in light tones and fitted with resin flooring throughout. Resin creates a continuous, joint-free surface that is straightforward to keep clean and suits the step-free connection from the terrace. Inside, the main room combines living and cooking around an open-plan kitchen with a central island. That layout keeps the cook in the conversation, though it also means kitchen noise and cooking smells share the main sitting room. Both bedrooms are generously sized due to the overall footprint, and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Having two bathrooms for two bedrooms avoids any sharing when guests stay, and means neither bathroom needs to double as a cloakroom for the other bedroom.

Living in Las Colinas de Marbella

Las Colinas de Marbella sits surrounded by open countryside, hiking trails, and golf courses within the Benahavís municipality. Buying this 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Benahavis, Benahavís means choosing hillside quiet over walking-distance shops. For beaches, supermarkets, schools, and restaurants, you drive down the hill to San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, or Marbella.
