Villa for sale in Benalmádena, Málaga

Property overview

A rare opportunity to combine Mediterranean living with an established holiday rental business built over more than 13 years. This distinctive villa offers panoramic sea views, inviting outdoor spaces and a flexible arrangement that suits a private residence, a holiday retreat or an owner-operated rental property.

The accommodation can welcome up to 10 guests in total, including an independent pool-level guest unit sleeping six. This arrangement allows owners to enjoy the upper floor privately while accommodating paying guests below, or to bring family and friends together with the benefit of separate living spaces.

The interiors combine warm terracotta flooring, arched openings and natural stone accents with colourful coastal styling. A characterful fireplace provides a focal point in the living area, while the kitchen features white cabinetry, turquoise tiled splash-backs, fitted appliances and a breakfast bar connecting it to the adjoining reception space. Guest accommodation includes kitchenette facilities, and a separate laundry area adds everyday practicality.

A glass-enclosed sitting area makes the most of the elevated setting, framing views across the landscaped grounds and surrounding rooftops towards the Mediterranean. Bedrooms opening onto the outdoor areas strengthen the connection between the interiors and the pool terrace.

Amenities

The private swimming pool sits within an attractive setting of palms, flowering plants, stonework and white balustrades. Terraces provide space for sun loungers, shaded seating and outdoor entertaining, while the garden area offers a further place to relax and enjoy the open views. A garage and additional storage space complete the practical facilities.

The property is offered with an established rental operation, including a website, guest history and a loyal base of repeat visitors, many of whom have returned annually for more than a decade. An existing tourist registration (VFT) forms part of the offering, with the transfer arrangements to be confirmed during the sale process.

Historically operated by choice for approximately five months each year, from May to September, the business offers scope to explore a longer letting season. Financial records and detailed trading figures are available to serious buyers following an initial discussion.

Location

The villa enjoys an elevated residential setting with shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Nearby conveniences include a Carrefour Express supermarket and pharmacy services, while local bus connections provide access to the surrounding area.

Golf and dining options are close at hand, including the nearby golf centre and Terrá restaurant, which serves breakfast, light meals and drinks in a garden setting. The wider area also offers Vithas Xanit International Hospital and bilingual schooling, adding convenience for permanent residents as well as visiting guests.

The beaches, coastal promenade and Puerto Marina are within reach for days by the sea and evenings out. The railway station in Arroyo de la Miel connects to the C1 line, providing direct services to Málaga Airport, Málaga city centre and Fuengirola. The property’s own accommodation information places the airport approximately 15 minutes away by car, depending on traffic.
