Andalusian Villa with Panoramic Sea Views in Monte Mayor, Benahavís

Set within the gated residential community of Monte Mayor in Benahavís, this detached villa occupies a privileged position overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding hills. As the first home built within the estate, it enjoys a particularly appealing setting, combining privacy, open views and a distinctive architectural character shaped by influences from Andalusia, East Africa and South America.

The villa has been carefully maintained by its current owners, with colonial and Moorish details adding warmth and individuality throughout. An automatic entrance gate opens onto a generous driveway with ample parking, while the antique wooden front door leads into a welcoming hallway with a gallery-style landing that connects the different levels of the home.

The main living area brings together a spacious lounge and dining room, with sea views extending across the garden and swimming pool. The adjoining kitchen and family room offer a more informal setting, featuring high ceilings and stone flooring that complement the property’s character. Both areas open onto large terraces, creating an easy transition between indoor living and the garden. A separate utility room with its own access to the driveway adds practical convenience, while two double bedrooms and a bathroom complete this level.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a more private retreat, with an en-suite bathroom, dressing area and access to its own terrace overlooking the landscape. A small office space sits across the gallery landing, offering a quiet place to work or read.

The lower level provides additional flexibility, with a shower room, several storage areas and a room of more than 40 m². With natural light and independent access to the garden, this space could be adapted to suit different needs, whether as an additional bedroom, guest accommodation, a home office, gym or leisure room.

Outside, the landscaped garden features a variety of trees, plants and shrubs, creating a green setting that changes with the seasons. The swimming pool sits at the centre of the lawn, with the surrounding terraces providing space for outdoor dining, quiet afternoons in the sun and evenings overlooking the sea.

Monte Mayor offers a peaceful residential environment surrounded by the natural landscape of Benahavís, while Marbella, the coast and the wider amenities of the Costa del Sol remain accessible by car.

With its distinctive character, panoramic views, mature garden and adaptable living spaces, this villa offers an opportunity to enjoy a more individual style of Mediterranean living in a private hillside setting.
