Detached Villa in Benahavís

The plates are cleared, the glasses are full, and friends are gathered around the long table on the terrace as dinner is served. Below you, the evening lights of the coast are just beginning to flick on, while the Mediterranean fades into the dusk. This five-bedroom villa in the hills of Benahavís is built for moments exactly like this. It is a home that gives you the space to entertain and the elevation to take it all in.

A home shaped by the hillside

Rather than fighting the sloping terrain of its 2,026-square-metre plot, this house uses it. Across 717 square metres of living space, the architecture steps down the hillside, creating tiered terraces and a vertical journey through the property. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the mountain contours and open sea views right into the main living area and separate dining room. Landscaped interior courtyards draw daylight deep into the floorplan, keeping the air moving and bringing a quiet sense of nature indoors.

Life in the open air

The outdoor spaces act as a natural continuation of the rooms inside. An infinity pool feels suspended above the valley, giving you a front-row seat to the coast. Higher up, a landscaped rooftop offers a completely different, elevated perspective of the mountains and the water. With five bedroom suites, there is plenty of room for guests to stay the weekend, while a private lift connects the floors to keep everyday living easy and accessible.

The practical side

The property runs efficiently with a smart home system and solar energy. A private garage, basement, storage room and guest toilet complete the layout. Beyond your own gates, you also have access to the wider community’s gym, spa and social club.

Who it is for

Those who want absolute privacy without the isolation. Set in a secure, elevated estate on the border of Benahavís and Marbella, you are just a short drive from the beaches, international schools and marinas of Puerto Banús and San Pedro. It is a house with the scale for a permanent family residence and the atmosphere of a private getaway.
