Villa in Benahavís

A remarkable newly built residence in the prestigious gated enclave of El Madroñal, Benahavís, this exceptional home represents the pinnacle of contemporary architecture and luxury living on the Costa del Sol. Created by the renowned AMES Arquitectos and scheduled for completion in 2025, the property enjoys an elevated position commanding breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, surrounding mountains, and unspoiled natural landscape. Occupying a generous plot within one of Southern Spain’s most sought-after residential communities, the residence extends across 1,520 square metres of beautifully designed interior space complemented by 492 square metres of terraces. Contemporary elegance is seamlessly blended with Mediterranean warmth, creating an environment that is both sophisticated and welcoming. A private driveway leads to an impressive entrance where a mature olive tree and striking glass-panelled doorway establish an immediate sense of grandeur. Inside, expansive open-plan living and dining areas are bathed in natural light, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. A feature fireplace forms the heart of the living space, while the designer kitchen is equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances and supported by a discreet secondary preparation kitchen, ideal for entertaining on any scale. The home offers six luxurious bedroom suites, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, privacy, and elegance. The entire upper level is dedicated to an extraordinary principal suite featuring a private sea-view terrace, dual walk-in dressing rooms, and a sumptuous spa-inspired bathroom. Throughout the residence, carefully selected materials and meticulous detailing reflect an unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Exceptional finishes elevate every aspect of the property, from herringbone timber flooring and bespoke leather-wrapped door handles to designer switches inspired by the automotive world. Full-height automated doors and windows maximise natural light while enhancing the effortless flow between interior and exterior spaces. Practical considerations have been equally prioritised, with technical and machinery areas positioned separately from the main structure to ensure privacy and ease of maintenance. Dedicated to wellness, leisure, and entertainment, the lower level offers an outstanding collection of lifestyle amenities. Residents can enjoy a private cinema, games lounge, traditional hammam, plunge pool, and a fully equipped fitness centre with both indoor and outdoor training areas. A self-contained two-bedroom guest apartment with independent access provides comfortable accommodation for visitors or staff.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. A stunning saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, complemented by generous lounging areas and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen designed for entertaining and al fresco dining. An automated irrigation system maintains the lush surroundings throughout the year, while ample parking offers the flexibility to create a secure enclosed garage if desired.

Surrounded by pine forests, olive groves, and cork oak trees, residents enjoy a tranquil setting with spectacular views stretching across the Serranía de Ronda and the Mediterranean coastline.
