A large duplex penthouse with a private wellness solarium in Los Almendros

Los Almendros is a gated community in the hills of Benahavís, a short drive up from the town of San Pedro de Alcántara and its beaches. Within this development, this resale 4 bedroom penthouse in Benahavís spans 350 square metres of built area arranged over two main residential levels plus a top-level solarium. Because the building faces south over sloping ground, the rooms look directly across the surrounding mountains to the Mediterranean Sea.

Main level and upper floor layout

An entrance hall on the main level opens into the living and dining room, which has a fireplace and connects without a dividing wall to the open-plan kitchen with Miele appliances. A separate laundry area keeps washing machines out of the main kitchen space, and a guest toilet serves the reception rooms. Two of the four bedrooms sit on this entry floor. Having half the sleeping quarters downstairs means older family members or visitors do not need to use the stairs to reach the kitchen and main living area.

Upstairs, the layout splits between a fourth guest bedroom and the principal suite. This main bedroom occupies the prime position of the upper level, fitted with a large dressing area and direct access to its own private terrace. Across the property, the official specification records four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, so a buyer viewing the flat should verify how the bathrooms are allocated between the two levels and whether the dressing zone incorporates an extra washing area.

Terraces, solarium and what the community includes

Outdoor space across the levels adds up to 115 square metres of terrace. A large covered main terrace gives shaded seating, while an upper terrace serves the principal bedroom directly. Above both residential floors sits the top solarium, which has been fitted out as a private wellness area rather than left as bare paving. It holds a private gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi alongside a seating zone, allowing the owners to use spa and exercise facilities at home without leaving the flat.

Down at ground level, the gated community of Los Almendros maintains shared gardens and a communal swimming pool. The property also comes with two garage spaces and a storage room, which resolves the practical issue of where to keep two vehicles and bulky outdoor gear in a hillside urbanisation where you drive for daily errands.

Heating, cooling and practical details

Unlike smaller holiday flats built only for summer, this 4 bedroom penthouse in Benahavís is fitted with underfloor heating throughout as well as air conditioning with a heating function. A domotic system controls the home installations.
