Large-scale proportions in Atalaya Hills

A 222 square metre built area paired with a 122 square metre terrace gives this resale property the footprint of a much larger home. Most two-bedroom apartments on the coast are half this size, which makes this 2 bedroom penthouse duplex with golf views in Benahavís an unusual layout for buyers who want substantial room dimensions rather than extra bedrooms.

The terrace and the south-west aspect

Outdoor space here is not a narrow balcony, but 122 square metres of terrace facing south and west. That orientation means the sun stays on the building from midday until it drops, bringing strong afternoon light into the rooms and across the exterior spaces. Because the building sits frontline to Atalaya Golf, the immediate outlook is across the fairways, extending out to panoramic sea views. A buyer viewing the property should stand on the terrace late in the afternoon to see how the sun tracks across the golf course and verify how much shade is needed during the summer months.

Open-plan living and direct lift access

The lift opens directly at the front door, removing communal corridors from the daily routine and making it straightforward to bring luggage or shopping straight up from the basement. Inside, the main room combines an open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen. Dividing 222 square metres of built area across just two bedrooms and two bathrooms leaves significant volume for the main rooms and circulation spaces. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, while the second bedroom uses the second bathroom. Because this is a duplex layout, a buyer should check when viewing how the rooms and terrace are split between the two levels, as the listing records do not specify the floor-by-floor plan.

What the community at Atalaya Hills includes

The development is a gated community with 24-hour security, communal gardens and a swimming pool. Alongside the outdoor areas, residents have shared access to an on-site gym, sauna, steam room and Turkish bath. These facilities are located within the grounds for residents to enjoy. Down in the basement, the property comes with one underground parking space and a storage room, keeping vehicles out of the summer heat and spare golf equipment out of the apartment.
