Detached Villa in Benahavís

The sun is dropping behind the mountains, casting shadows across the infinity pool, and the house has finally gone quiet. Even with boxes still half-unpacked in the hallway, sitting on the terrace of this new home feels entirely right. Up here in the gated hills of El Madroñal, you are above the noise of the coast, watching the Mediterranean turn deep blue as evening settles in.

Room to breathe and gather

With around 1,107 square metres of built space, this house gives everyone their own corner. Six bedrooms and seven bathrooms mean plenty of room for family and guests, anchored by a primary suite with a private terrace and dressing room. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the southern light deep into the open-plan living areas. From the kitchen and lounge, the space flows naturally outside to an outdoor kitchen, dining areas, and a sunken seating zone by the water.

Everything under one roof

You don't need to leave the house to unwind. Take the lift to your private spa, where a heated indoor pool, sauna, and jacuzzi wait. There is a home gym for early morning workouts, plus a private cinema and games room. Smart-home technology and underfloor heating run quietly in the background, keeping the house comfortable year-round.

What comes with it

The property includes a private garage equipped with EV charging, supported by an energy-efficient aerothermal system. The estate itself provides 24-hour security at the gated entrance.

Connected to the coast

El Madroñal is a wooded, elevated enclave in Benahavís that feels remote but sits just a short drive from the water. Down the hill, the motorways drop you quickly into San Pedro, Puerto Banús, and Marbella. Marinas, international schools, and golf courses are all close at hand, making it easy to dip into coastal life and just as easy to leave it behind.

Who it's for

A family looking for a full-time residence with space to grow, or someone seeking a secure retreat with every amenity built in. If you want the views, the privacy, and the scale of a grand hilltop home, this is the one to see.
