A penthouse with more outdoor space than built area

Over 117 m² of outdoor space defines this 2 bedroom penthouse with golf views in Benahavís. The exterior is split between a 13 m² main terrace on the primary living level and a 102 m² private rooftop solarium above. Having an upper terrace that matches the footprint of the apartment itself changes how the property is used, giving the owner a full-sized upstairs deck alongside the standard balcony off the lounge.

The terrace, solarium and what the community includes

Both the main terrace and the rooftop solarium face south-east, taking the morning and early afternoon sun while looking out toward the Mediterranean. From both levels, there are open sea views. Up on the solarium, a Bali-style wooden pergola provides a shaded section for a dining table or seating, and a private jacuzzi is already installed. Downstairs, the wider residential block of Cumbre de los Almendros maintains communal gardens and a swimming pool for residents. A private parking space and a separate storage room are also included with the apartment, keeping bulky luggage and seasonal items out of the rooms.

Rooms, layout and built area

The built area measures 102 m². Inside, the living and dining room opens directly onto the 13 m² main terrace, bringing the morning light into the centre of the flat. Unlike newer open-plan layouts, this property has a separate kitchen, which keeps cooking noise and smells away from the sitting area. There are two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and an additional guest toilet, recorded as three bathrooms in the main specifications. That extra WC means visiting guests do not need to walk through the bedrooms to use a bathroom.

Original condition and scope for renovation

This resale 2 bedroom penthouse with golf views in Benahavís retains its original finishes throughout. Any buyer looking at it should factor in the work required to modernise the kitchen, the bathrooms and the interiors. Because the value of a top-floor flat sits largely in its orientation, outdoor square meterage and views, refitting an older interior is a straightforward way to get a modern home without paying a developer premium for a brand-new complex. A viewer should check whether the wall between the separate kitchen and the living room can be opened up if a single living space is preferred.

Position in Puerto de los Almendros

The development sits within Cumbre de los Almendros, in Puerto de los Almendros, a quiet residential hillside in the municipality of Benahavís surrounded by open nature. It is an established, low-density area away from the coastal road noise. For daily errands, beaches and restaurants, the town of San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús and Marbella are a short drive down the hill, making a car necessary for day-to-day life here.
