Ninety square metres of outdoor space across two levels

Two separate terraces total 90 square metres of outdoor space at this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Benahavís. The lower terrace runs directly off the lounge for day-to-day dining and sitting out, while the upper level is given over entirely to a roof terrace. Having outdoor space on two levels means one area stays close to the kitchen and living room while the upper deck remains separate from the main living quarters.

All living and sleeping quarters on the main floor

Unlike many duplex layouts that split the bedrooms between levels, this property keeps all 129 square metres of built area on the lower floor. The lounge connects to an open-plan kitchen with a utility area, keeping laundry and storage out of the main sightline. A principal bedroom comes with an en-suite bathroom, while the two guest bedrooms share a second bathroom. Because the upper level is purely a roof terrace, nobody has to climb stairs to go to bed or carry trays from the kitchen up a flight of steps just to eat outside.

How the terraces and community facilities work

The upper roof terrace faces two ways: south across the golf course to the sea, and north over the communal grounds. That dual aspect gives the upper deck both open coastal sightlines and a view back into the development. The building sits inside a gated community in the Atalaya area, close to San Pedro de Alcántara. Shared grounds include landscaped gardens, an outdoor pool with an outdoor bar area, and indoor wellness rooms comprising a sauna, steam room, and hammam. From the entrance side of this block, residents have direct access out to the pool area without walking through the whole complex.

Parking, storage, and what to check on a viewing

An underground private parking space and a storage room are included with this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Benahavís, along with air conditioning throughout the home. When viewing a top-floor property with an exposed roof deck, a buyer should check what water and power points exist on the upper terrace, as that determines how much use it gets compared to the lower terrace off the lounge. It is also worth checking the exact foot route from the building entrance to the pool and indoor spa facilities to see how practical they are to use every day.
