Set within the prestigious gated community of El Herrojo Alto, this extraordinary contemporary villa stands as a true architectural statement, perfectly positioned in the lush hills of Benahavís. From its elevated south-facing plot, the residence enjoys breathtaking panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding mountains, while remaining just 20 minutes from Marbella, 15 minutes from Puerto Banús, and 10 minutes from the beaches and amenities of San Pedro de Alcántara.
Accessed via tranquil, tree-lined roads, the villa is reached through an elegant private driveway that opens onto expansive outdoor living spaces. Designed to embrace the Andalusian climate, the exterior features generous terraces, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, landscaped gardens and a saltwater swimming pool, all seamlessly integrated into the natural surroundings and oriented to maximise the spectacular sea and mountain vistas.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood the interiors with natural light, framing uninterrupted panoramas throughout the home. The main level offers a refined living room with fireplace, flowing effortlessly into a sophisticated dining area and a sleek contemporary kitchen. Two guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are also located on this floor, offering comfort and privacy.
The upper level hosts three additional en-suite bedrooms, including a remarkable master suite of over 70 m², complete with walk-in dressing room, luxurious bathroom and a private terrace featuring a jacuzzi and commanding sea views.
The lower level, spanning nearly 800 m² and thoughtfully designed to receive abundant daylight, is dedicated to leisure and wellbeing. It includes multiple lounge areas, a private cinema room, a games room, a fully equipped gym, a wine cellar and an impressive indoor spa with heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. Additional features on this level include a private office, a garage accommodating up to six vehicles, and three further en-suite bedrooms — one with its own independent entrance and kitchen, ideal for staff or guests.
Completed in 2025, the villa combines modern architecture with natural materials, offering underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning, central heating, double glazing, electric blinds, a lift, fitted wardrobes and advanced home comforts throughout.
A rare opportunity to acquire a statement residence in one of the most exclusive enclaves of the Costa del Sol, where privacy, design and panoramic views come together in absolute harmony.
El Herrojo Alto is one of the most sought-after gated communities within the municipality of Benahavís, a small Andalusian village consistently ranked among Spain’s wealthiest municipalities by per-capita income. Positioned in the forested hills above the Costa del Sol, the enclave is defined by large private plots, contemporary and traditional villas, and a level of seclusion that is difficult to find this close to the coast. The surrounding landscape of pine and cork oak gives the area a distinctly different character from the coastal strip below.
The village of Benahavís itself, a five-minute drive away, offers a concentrated dining scene along its main street, with restaurants including Amanhavis and Los Abanicos drawing residents regularly. San Pedro de Alcántara, roughly ten minutes by car, provides supermarkets, schools, and everyday services. Puerto Banús and its marina, with its restaurants, boutiques, and beach clubs, is approximately fifteen minutes away.
Marbella is reachable in around twenty minutes by car via the A-7 coastal road, and Málaga city is approximately fifty minutes away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, the main international hub for the region, handles direct routes to most major European cities and is roughly fifty-five minutes from El Herrojo Alto by car. Gibraltar Airport, offering additional connections, is around forty-five minutes in the opposite direction along the coast.
