Two levels overlooking El Higueral Golf Course

Arranged over two levels, this 3 bedroom 3 bathroom penthouse duplex in Benahavís gives each bedroom its own en-suite bathroom alongside a fitted kitchen and a separate laundry room. The layout separates the practical household work from the main rooms, and having an en-suite for every bedroom removes the usual morning bottlenecks when family or guests stay. With a built area of 194 square metres, the proportions are closer to a house than a standard holiday flat.

The 107 square metre terrace and what it looks onto

Outside, the 107 square metre terrace adds more than half the built area again in private open-air space. A terrace of this scale takes a full dining table, sun loungers and seating areas without having to move furniture around to clear a walkway. From here, the apartment looks straight out across the fairways of El Higueral Golf Course towards the sea. When viewing a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom penthouse duplex in Benahavís with this much outdoor space, it is worth checking how the terrace divides across the two levels and where the sun falls in the late afternoon.

Six pools, a spa and 50,000 square metres of grounds

The gated community sits within more than 50,000 square metres of landscaped communal gardens, giving residents substantial open ground behind the perimeter without personal gardening work. Shared facilities go well beyond a single summer pool: there are five outdoor swimming pools plus an indoor heated pool, a fully equipped gym and a spa. Five separate outdoor pools mean the summer crowd spreads out across the grounds rather than packing onto one lawn, while the indoor pool and spa keep the development usable through the cooler winter months. A buyer should check the community rules on guest access to the spa and the opening months of the heated pool.

Parking, storage and connections around Benahavís

Below the building, the property comes with two underground parking spaces and a private storage room. Two spaces matter here because daily life around the golf valleys relies on the car, and keeping a second vehicle off the street is a real advantage. The storage room takes golf bags, suitcases and terrace cushions out of the apartment itself. From the gates at El Higueral, the road connects down to the coast and San Pedro de Alcántara as well as up into Benahavís village, with supermarkets and other golf courses reached by a short drive.
