Villa | Benahavis

Four bedrooms is a deliberate choice here, not a compromise, and it shows in the proportions, every room larger and better lit than its equivalent in a five bedroom plan on the same footprint.

This is a gated villa community in the lower hills of Benahavis, within the triangle formed by Marbella, Estepona and the mountain village itself. Building started in 2022 across roughly 269,000 square metres planted with mature olive trees, handed over in phases across seven villa designs, the final phase due in 2026. It is best understood on foot, through the gates and up past the clubhouse before the villas come into view, an arrangement that gives the community a settled feel despite being new. Ownership is lock and leave, with 24 hour security, communal grounds maintained on the owners’ behalf, and a clubhouse holding a heated indoor pool, gym, sauna and coworking room.

The villa is arranged around a single generous open plan floor, kitchen, dining and living space run together under a high ceiling, glazed along almost the whole garden elevation, so the sea beyond the rooftops is visible from the sofa as much as the terrace. The kitchen is built around a long island, angled so whoever is cooking faces outward, towards the pool and the view. Upstairs the four bedrooms are each ensuite, generously proportioned, the principal suite given its own private terrace separate from the outdoor space below.

Its best feature is the relationship between the pool and the view. The terrace steps out from the living room at a level that puts the pool almost at eye height with the horizon, so from a sunbed the water and the sea appear to run together, an effect specific to this plot’s position. In the evening the same terrace, shielded from the wind, becomes the natural place to eat, the mountains behind catching the last colour of the day.

A private garage takes care of parking, with room on the forecourt for a second car.
