Villa True Love A Benahavis Marbella

Villa True Love — A Private Retreat in Monte Halcones, Benahavís
Villa True Love brings together distinctive interiors, landscaped gardens and an exceptional collection of private wellness and leisure spaces in Monte Halcones, Benahavís. Balinese and Japanese influences sit alongside contemporary finishes, creating a home with a deeply personal character and a strong connection to its surroundings.
The arrival establishes that character immediately. Substantial wooden entrance doors, framed by hand-carved volcanic stone guardian sculptures, open into interiors where natural timber, textured stone and carefully considered lighting create a welcoming atmosphere. Throughout the villa, bespoke details give each room its own identity, while a consistent palette of natural materials connects the spaces.
The main living area is arranged for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Open-plan accommodation allows the lounge, dining area and kitchen to flow together, with generous glazing drawing in daylight and opening the home towards its terraces and gardens. A bioethanol fireplace provides a focal point and subtly defines the living spaces, while the combination of parquet and glass flooring introduces an unexpected architectural detail.

The kitchen pairs natural wood cabinetry with stainless-steel surfaces and a bespoke central island with seating. Its layout makes it a sociable part of the home: a place for relaxed breakfasts, conversation over drinks or preparing dinner with guests. Direct access to the garden extends this connection outdoors.

Two individually designed principal suites offer a choice of private retreats. One combines warm timber and stone finishes with terrace access, a bespoke dressing room and an en-suite bathroom featuring a handcrafted stone basin. The second has a different mood, with high ceilings, soft integrated lighting and decorative influences inspired by mid-century design. Its open-plan bathroom incorporates a glass-enclosed shower and a distinctive gilded basin.

Additional bedrooms continue the villa’s material palette, bringing together wood, concrete finishes and contemporary bathroom design. Separate guest accommodation beside the pool includes a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, allowing visitors to enjoy greater independence while remaining close to the main house.

Wellbeing is central to the experience of Villa True Love. The private spa includes a spacious sauna, a dedicated massage room and a striking carved granite bathtub positioned beneath a skylight. Natural light and tactile materials give this space an intimate, restorative atmosphere. A gym on the upper floor enjoys views across the gardens and surrounding mountains, providing an inviting setting for a daily fitness routine.

The leisure spaces add another dimension to life at home. A private cinema with acoustic treatment creates a dedicated setting for film nights, complemented by a bar area for relaxed evenings and entertaining. The property also incorporates a concealed secure room with its own supporting facilities.

Outside, the gardens unfold as a sequence of places to explore, gather and unwind. Japanese-inspired stone landscaping, mature olive trees and fruit trees are interspersed with sculptural details, a Balinese-style temple and a fish pond. A mature carob tree gives the grounds a particularly distinctive focal point, reinforcing the sense of an established garden with its own history and character.

The saltwater infinity pool forms the centrepiece of the outdoor living areas. Submerged loungers invite unhurried afternoons in the water, while surrounding terraces provide space for sunbathing, conversation and dining. Planting, water features and shaded corners create different moods throughout the grounds, offering a choice between sociable spaces and quieter retreats.

Solar panels, home automation and water purification complement the villa’s lifestyle features, supporting the practical demands of a substantial private residence.
