Located in the hillside community of Puerto del Almendro, this south-facing villa in Benahavís offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and open Mediterranean views. Set on an expansive plot of 7,881 m², the property is composed of a main residence and an independent guest house, together providing nine bedrooms and nine en-suite bathrooms. The elevated position ensures long views across the coastline, surrounding mountains, and natural landscape, while maintaining a strong sense of separation from neighbouring properties.
The architecture follows a contemporary Mediterranean approach, prioritising light, proportion, and everyday comfort. Large glazed surfaces connect the interior living areas with terraces and outdoor zones, creating continuity between inside and outside throughout the day. The layout has been carefully planned to support both full-time living and extended stays, with generous communal areas balanced by well-defined private spaces. A discreet private driveway leads to extensive parking capacity, accommodating multiple vehicles without affecting the visual harmony of the estate.
Lifestyle features have been integrated with functionality in mind. The villa includes a private cinema room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a fully equipped gym, all designed for regular use rather than occasional display. Outside, two swimming pools are positioned to serve different parts of the property, complemented by landscaped terraces and multiple viewpoints that capture sea, countryside, and garden perspectives. Despite the size of the land, the property feels cohesive and practical, offering tranquillity without isolation.
Puerto del Almendro is known for its peaceful residential atmosphere while remaining well connected. The villa is within easy reach of Puerto Banús, Marbella centre, and Nueva Andalucía, where residents have access to international schools, fine dining, shopping centres, and renowned golf courses such as Los Arqueros and La Quinta. Several private medical clinics and hospitals are also nearby, including facilities in San Pedro and Marbella, making the location suitable for both permanent residence and long-term investment.
At Key Real Estate, we specialise in representing distinctive properties in prime locations across the Costa del Sol. Our role goes beyond transactions: we act as dedicated advisors, guiding clients through every stage of the purchase with discretion, clarity, and market knowledge built through years of hands-on experience. This property is best understood through a private viewing, where its proportions, layout, and setting can be fully appreciated in context.
Benahavis is one of the most sought-after municipalities on the Costa del Sol, occupying a privileged position in the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves between Marbella and Estepona. The village itself retains a distinctly Andalusian character, with whitewashed streets and a concentration of well-regarded restaurants, while the surrounding residential areas are defined by large private estates, mature pine forests, and uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean. It consistently ranks among the wealthiest municipalities in Spain by per capita income.
Day-to-day life draws on a well-established infrastructure. The restaurant strip along the main village road includes El Refugio and Meson El Coto for reliable dining. Puerto Banus is a 15-minute drive for shopping and nightlife, Marbella centre is 20 minutes, and international schools including Aloha College and Laude San Pedro are within easy reach. Los Arqueros and La Quinta golf courses are immediately adjacent.
Benahavis sits approximately 15 kilometres from San Pedro de Alcantara, which connects to the AP-7 coastal motorway for fast access along the Costa del Sol. Malaga Airport, the main international hub for the region, is roughly 65 kilometres away and reachable in under an hour by car, with direct flights to most major European cities and connections beyond. Gibraltar Airport, serving additional routes, is approximately 75 kilometres to the southwest.
