Views from Villa Padierna to Gibraltar in Los Flamingos

Villa Padierna, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and the African coastline fill the horizon from the upper reaches of Los Flamingos. This 3 bedroom penthouse with golf views in Benahavís combines a 293 m² built area with 100 m² of terrace inside a gated community. For a buyer, those numbers mean the proportions of a full-sized house without the maintenance of a private plot.

A 293 m² built area with an independent kitchen

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms divide the floor plan alongside a bright main living room. Unlike most contemporary flats that put the cooking area in the middle of the sitting room, this home has an independent kitchen. That separation keeps cooking noise and smells away from the living room, though a buyer who prefers a single open room will want to check the dividing wall during a viewing to see if it can be altered. The 293 m² built figure is large for a three-bedroom property on this coast, meaning the rooms and hallways are wide rather than squeezed into a tight footprint.

The 100 m² terrace and what the community includes

Outdoor space here is not a narrow balcony. The 100 m² of terraces connect directly to the main living room, pulling natural light deep into the building and providing enough floor area for distinct seating and dining zones outside. Because the property sits high in a gated community, the terrace looks out over the surrounding golf courses down to the sea with a high degree of privacy from neighbours. Downstairs, the development maintains communal gardens, two communal swimming pools and two tennis courts. Having two pools and courts on site means residents are not competing for a single crowded area in August, though buyers should review the community statutes and annual budget to see how the upkeep of these grounds is managed.

Four parking bays, storage and the Los Flamingos setting

Down in the garage, the property is sold with two private parking spaces, two additional spaces for golf carts, and a large storage room. Dedicated golf buggy bays are a practical inclusion in Los Flamingos, where courses surround the residential blocks and residents can drive a cart straight to the fairways rather than loading clubs into a car boot. The large storeroom also keeps suitcases, tools and beach gear out of the bedrooms. Beyond the gates of this 3 bedroom penthouse with golf views in Benahavís, roads lead down to the coastline and connect easily to both Marbella and Puerto Banús for everyday errands, dining and schools.
