Villa in Benahavis

A five-bedroom villa in El Madroñal, Benahavís, offering five bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom, with a first floor dedicated to the master suite with dressing room and library alongside a guest ensuite, a ground floor arranged around formal and informal living areas, dining room, kitchen, wine cellar and guest suite opening onto terrace and a heated sea salt infinity pool, and a lower level with garage and home office. The property sits on an expansive plot with panoramic views and includes a fully equipped outdoor gym complete with professional apparatus and boxing ring. The architecture is partially integrated into the mountain itself, creating a naturally climate-controlled environment that works in tandem with underfloor heating throughout the house and a comprehensive smart home system managing comfort and security.

Set within a gated community with armed security, a rare authorisation in Spain, and a response time of under five minutes, the house is designed for someone who values privacy yet expects convenience. The layout is clear and deliberate. Private quarters sit above, social spaces unfold at garden level. The master suite occupies its own domain with dressing room and library. On the ground floor, the living areas balance formal and informal use without excess. How often do you find a home that allows proper entertaining while still feeling comfortable on an ordinary weekday? Large openings draw you towards the terraces and pool, where panoramic views remain uninterrupted.

The Costa del Sol stretches from Nerja to Sotogrande, with Marbella as its residential heart. The combination of 320 days of sun, international schools and good air connections via Málaga makes it the most established region for Northern European buyers. Prices are more stable than on other costas and the market is transparent.
