Exceptional Private Mediterranean Estate with Established Venue & Retreat Rental History
Benissa, Costa Blanca, Spain
Set within approximately 13,000 m² of predominantly level, mature Mediterranean grounds, this remarkable private estate offers the scale, privacy and facilities of a boutique resort while retaining the warmth and character of a beautifully established home.
Located in the highly desirable Benissa area of the northern Costa Blanca, the property occupies an exceptional position within one of Spain’s most sought-after Mediterranean regions, close to the prestigious coastal towns of Moraira, Jávea and Calpe.
Despite its wonderfully private countryside setting, it remains extremely accessible, with both Alicante and Valencia international airports within approximately one hour.
The estate has been thoughtfully developed over many years to create an environment that works equally well as a substantial private residence, a multi-generational family home, an exceptional second home or, for a purchaser wishing to explore it, a lifestyle property with an established history of exclusive-use rentals.
Currently operating as a successful private rental venue, the estate has welcomed hundreds of retreats, group stays and private events, attracting guests and organisers from around the world.
It is this combination of private estate, resort-style facilities and proven international appeal that makes the property particularly unusual.
A Private Resort of Your Own
From the moment the electric entrance gates open, the property feels entirely private and self-contained.
Mature Mediterranean planting, established trees and landscaped gardens create a sense of tranquillity throughout the grounds, with numerous different areas in which to relax, entertain, exercise or simply enjoy the climate.
The estate has been designed around indoor-outdoor Mediterranean living.
A beautiful lagoon-style swimming pool, with a gentle sloping entrance and optional heating for the cooler months, forms one of the main focal points of the property.
Around the pool and terraces are generous sunbathing areas with cabana beds, sun loungers and natural-style parasols, together with several covered terraces providing shade throughout the day.
Rather than having one principal entertaining area, the estate offers a collection of different outdoor spaces.
There are several exterior lounge areas, dining terraces and covered seating areas furnished with comfortable custom-made furniture, allowing family members or guests to enjoy completely different parts of the property at the same time.
An outdoor kitchen and entertaining area further enhances the resort-style feel and makes the property particularly well suited to long Mediterranean lunches, evening dining and larger gatherings.
Extensive Sports & Leisure Facilities
Few private residences offer such a comprehensive collection of recreational and wellness facilities within their own grounds.
The estate includes:
Private tennis court
Lagoon-style swimming pool
Gymnasium
Approximately 100 m² covered yoga and movement space
Professional pool table
Pétanque / French boules
Beach volleyball and beach tennis area
Table tennis
Games room
Extensive terraces and relaxation areas
Outdoor kitchen and dining areas
Dedicated treatment cabin
The covered yoga and wellness space is particularly impressive, providing approximately 100 m² of protected exercise space and comfortably accommodating groups of around 24 people.
A substantial collection of equipment is already available, including yoga mats, bolsters, meditation cushions, blocks and straps.
The space could equally suit yoga, Pilates, fitness, workshops, creative activities or simply provide a beautiful covered recreational area for a large family.
Set separately within the gardens is a charming wooden treatment room, providing a peaceful and private setting surrounded by nature. It is currently used for massage, therapies and one-to-one treatments but could lend itself to numerous alternative uses.
Throughout the estate there are also secluded garden areas ideal for meditation, reading, treatments, relaxation or simply enjoying the natural surroundings.
The Main Residence
The main house is arranged over three spacious levels and has been designed to accommodate larger numbers extremely comfortably without losing the feeling of a home.
The main residence provides 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, with a separate detached casita offering a further private bedroom and bathroom.
In total, the estate therefore provides 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
The bedrooms are particularly versatile.
Beds can be configured as either super-king doubles or twin beds, allowing the property to adapt easily to different family arrangements, guests or group requirements.
All bedrooms are generously proportioned and benefit from hot and cold air conditioning, with central heating available for the cooler months.
Storage has been carefully considered, with fitted or freestanding wardrobes, drawer space, bedside lighting and full-length mirrors.
The principal living areas are light, generous and highly sociable.
Large sliding glass doors connect the house effortlessly with the terraces and gardens, creating the feeling that the interior and exterior are part of one continuous living environment.
There are several comfortable lounge and relaxation areas, together with a games room, dining space and numerous flexible areas that can be used for family life, entertaining, workshops or group activities.
A Kitchen Designed for Serious Entertaining
At the heart of the property is an exceptionally spacious kitchen of approximately 60 m².
Designed to cope effortlessly with a large household or professional catering, it offers considerably more capacity than would normally be found in a private home.
Equipment includes:
Two large refrigerators
Large freezer
Two ovens
Microwave
Dishwasher
Washing facilities
Extensive preparation and storage space
Comprehensive cookware, crockery and glassware
Juicers and specialist kitchen equipment
Tea and coffee facilities
Extensive serving and catering equipment
For anyone who enjoys entertaining, employs private chefs or regularly hosts extended family and friends, the kitchen is an enormous asset.
The property also benefits from an exterior kitchen, making outdoor entertaining particularly easy during the warmer months.
Established as an Exclusive-Use Venue
While the estate is being offered for sale fundamentally as a private residential property, it has an additional dimension that very few comparable homes can offer.
For many years, the owners have periodically hired the entire property on an exclusive-use basis for international retreats, wellness groups and private events.
Hundreds of groups and guests have experienced the estate, creating an established international reputation and a proven history of demand.
For a purchaser interested in continuing a similar model, this may represent an attractive lifestyle and income opportunity.
The venue also has an established forward booking pipeline, including confirmed reservations for 2027, which may provide continuity for a purchaser interested in maintaining the existing rental model.
The current owners would ideally like these existing commitments to be honoured, with the treatment and transition of any forward bookings to be agreed with the purchaser as part of the sale.
The property benefits from an established network of experienced local people and suppliers, including housekeeping, gardening, therapists, transport providers, private chefs and other services developed through many years of operation.
There is also a fully functioning dedicated website, which could form part of the opportunity by agreement.
The website already has the technical capability for direct online bookings to be activated, giving an incoming owner who wished to continue the rental model an established digital platform rather than having to start from scratch.
The current owners would also be willing, where appropriate, to share practical knowledge, trusted contacts and operational experience accumulated over many years.
The sale is, however, principally the sale of the property, buildings and land.
Any purchaser wishing to continue or develop a particular rental, hospitality, tourism, retreat or commercial use should obtain their own professional advice regarding any licences, registrations or permissions applicable to their intended use.
Privacy, Security & Infrastructure
The estate offers an excellent level of privacy and security.
Access is controlled by an electric entrance system, and the property is comprehensively protected by an alarm system.
The scale and layout of the land create a genuine sense of seclusion, while the property remains close to everyday amenities.
Benissa town is only a short drive away, while the restaurants, marinas, beaches and international communities of Moraira, Jávea and Calpe are all within easy reach.
This balance between privacy and accessibility is one of the estate’s greatest strengths.
An Exceptional Costa Blanca Location
The northern Costa Blanca is one of the Mediterranean’s most established and affluent international residential areas.
Benissa sits between the mountains and the sea, surrounded by vineyards, traditional countryside and some of the most desirable coastal communities in the region.
The property provides easy access to:
Moraira
Jávea
Calpe
Benissa
Mediterranean beaches and coves
Marinas and yacht clubs
Golf
International schools
Excellent restaurants
Alicante International Airport
Valencia International Airport
With both major airports approximately one hour away, the estate is remarkably convenient for international owners and guests.
This accessibility has also been one of the reasons it has worked so successfully as an international rental venue.
A Rare Lifestyle Property
What makes this estate particularly compelling is not any single feature, but the combination.
It offers the privacy and space of a substantial country property, the facilities of a private resort, the warmth of a genuine home and an established history of welcoming international guests.
A purchaser could simply enjoy it as an extraordinary private residence.
It could become a large family or multi-generational home, a Mediterranean second residence or a place from which to work, relax and entertain.
Alternatively, for someone attracted to the lifestyle opportunity, there is already a framework from which they could explore continuing the successful whole-property rental model.
Creating something comparable from the ground up would require considerable time, investment and expertise.
Here, the gardens are mature, the facilities are established, the recreational areas are already in place, and the property has evolved over many years into something genuinely unusual.
For the right purchaser, it represents an opportunity to acquire not simply a house in Spain, but an established private Mediterranean estate with exceptional lifestyle potential.
