Villa in Benahavis

A five bedroom villa built and finished in 2025 within Monte Mayor, its 26 metre pool set against uninterrupted views across the gated valley below.

Monte Mayor sits above Benahavis in a valley of olive groves and cork oak, one of the few gated estates on this coast where the landscape was left largely intact rather than built over. Plots here are generous and set well apart, screened by mature planting, giving the estate a genuinely rural character despite being only minutes from the coast. Benahavis village, the gastronomic centre of this stretch of coast, sits around fifteen minutes away, along with golf courses including Marbella Club, Los Flamingos and El Higueral, and international schools such as Atalaya and the British International School of Marbella.

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.
