Andalusian villa in Monte Mayor, Benahavís with panoramic sea views

This Andalusian-style villa for sale in Monte Mayor, Benahavís, sits on a large south-west facing plot with wide views over the hills, the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.

Monte Mayor is a secure gated estate in the Benahavís hills. It is known for its peace, privacy and natural setting, and it is still an easy drive from the coast. The villa stands near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, at the edge of the estate. The land around it is protected green space, so the open views are expected to stay as they are.

An automatic gate opens onto a private driveway that leads down to the parking area and the entrance patio. From the moment you step inside, the house feels bright and open. The entrance hall has a double-height ceiling and a mezzanine walkway that leads out to a large terrace with views across the valley.

Inside, the villa keeps its traditional Andalusian character with warm terracotta floors and vaulted ceilings. The upper level has two guest suites with French balconies. On the other side is the master suite, with a dressing room, a private bathroom and direct access to the terrace. The lower level has two more guest suites that open straight onto the garden. The living room has a lounge area and a dining area, and both open onto the garden. The open-plan kitchen is fully fitted, with a central island and breakfast bar. Next to it is a laundry room with its own outdoor access.

Outside, the garden is designed for easy upkeep. It has a lawn of artificial grass, framed by mature trees and hedges that give full privacy. The private pool is finished in black mosaic tiles, which gives it a striking, elegant look in the southern Spanish sun.

A small gate leads down a path to a lower level of the plot. Here you will find a quiet viewpoint with lovely views towards the coast, a perfect spot for a morning coffee or a sunset drink. At the very top of the home is a rooftop solarium with the best views of the property. It has space for sun loungers or even an outdoor kitchen.

In our opinion, this is a rare find in Benahavís. Few homes combine this level of privacy, protected views and true Andalusian charm in such a secure community. It works just as well as a full-time family home as it does as a peaceful holiday retreat on the Costa del Sol.
