Nestled in the heart of the prestigious El Madroñal residential area in Benahavís, adjacent to the world-renowned La Zagaleta, this extraordinary estate offers an unparalleled combination of traditional Andalusian charm and modern luxury. Set against a backdrop of sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by nature, this home is a sanctuary of style, space, and serenity.

Occupying a vast elevated plot of over 5,000 m², the property offers more than 1,370 m² of exquisitely designed interior space, complemented by 300 m² of sun-drenched terraces. The villa is distributed over three above-ground levels, each offering magnificent sea views and an abundance of natural light.

A grand Andalusian-style courtyard welcomes you to the home, leading to a double-height entrance hall that sets the tone for the elegant interiors. The main floor features a spacious and light-filled living room with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the stunning coastal views. Adjacent is a separate formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, and a large fully equipped kitchen with a cozy breakfast area and separate laundry facilities.

Each of the remaining bedrooms also benefits from its own terrace, ensuring privacy and uninterrupted vistas.

The lower level—though technically above ground—is seamlessly connected to the pool and garden area. This level is designed for wellness and entertainment, split into two distinct wings. The eastern wing serves as a private spa retreat, complete with a heated indoor swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a massage room, and a wellness area.

El Madroñal is one of Marbella’s most exclusive gated communities, offering 24-hour security and a tranquil, natural environment. While it provides the peace and privacy of a countryside retreat, the vibrant hubs of Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara, and Marbella town are only a short 10-minute drive away.

This exceptional residence represents the epitome of refined Mediterranean living — a unique opportunity for those seeking luxury, space, and absolute privacy in one of the Costa del Sol’s most sought-after locations.
