Altura 160 is a residential development located within the Los Jaralillos urbanisation in Benahavís. The project consists of five low-rise buildings containing apartments and penthouses, oriented to the southeast. The position offers views over the Atalaya and El Paraíso golf courses and the Marbella coastline. The homes feature a living area starting from 103 m², comprising 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The community is gated and includes landscaped gardens and communal pools.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in Benahavís, a region characterized by its mountainous backdrop and proximity to the Costa del Sol. Located at an elevation of approximately 238 meters above sea level, the site provides panoramic views of the coastline. The setting is quiet yet not isolated, with daily amenities accessible within a short drive. The location balances the tranquility of the inland hills with convenient access to coastal infrastructure.
The layout of the properties is designed for residents requiring space and an outdoor lifestyle. Large sliding glass doors connect the living area to the terrace, facilitating indoor-outdoor living typical of the Mediterranean climate. The inclusion of two full bathrooms and a separate laundry area makes the units suitable for full-time residence or accommodating guests and family members for extended periods.
Construction at Altura 160 is in an advanced stage, with completion scheduled for 2026. The structural elements are largely in place. The finishing includes modern technical installations such as air conditioning and underfloor heating in bathrooms. Buyers currently have the opportunity to select certain finishes prior to handover, ensuring the home meets specific personal preferences.
The terrain of Altura 160 features elevation changes, meaning access and parking are situated on a different level than the apartment entrances. The nearest beaches are situated at a distance of over 3.5 kilometers. Daily amenities require a vehicle, as the closest supermarket is 1.6 kilometers away.

This project suits individuals actively seeking a permanent residence in the Málaga region who do not require the immediacy of the beachfront. It is appropriate for golfers wishing to live near the course, as well as couples looking for a home with sufficient space for visitors. The presence of elevators and the limited height of the buildings make it accessible to various age groups, though the hilly nature of the terrain should be considered.
The homes are finished with materials focused on durability and ease of maintenance. Flooring consists of large-format 90x90 cm porcelain tiles by Saloni in light tones, extending to terraces with a non-slip finish. Kitchens are equipped with Silestone countertops and a full suite of Siemens integrated appliances, including induction hobs and integrated refrigerators. Bathrooms feature Jacob Delafon vanity units, concealed cisterns, and underfloor heating for added comfort. Exterior glazing by Strugal includes thermal breaks for insulation.
Prices for apartments in Altura 160 range from €499,000 to €810,000. This price level reflects the combination of the Benahavís location, the size of the homes, and the included amenities such as parking and storage rooms. Penthouses and units on higher floors, which typically offer wider views, are generally positioned in the higher segment of this price range.
Living at Altura 160 means residing in a controlled, gated environment designed for peace and quiet. The day begins with sun on the southeast-facing terrace, overlooking the expansive golf courses. Due to its position on the edge of the Los Jaralillos urbanisation, there is little through-traffic, ensuring a quiet atmosphere. Residents have access to four additional swimming pools in the surrounding area, providing relief during the hotter summer months. The distance to the coast allows for a choice between the serenity of the mountain area and the vibrancy of the beaches in San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona.
The immediate environment is defined by the presence of several renowned golf clubs, such as El Paraíso and Atalaya, located within a 2-kilometer radius. Daily necessities like supermarkets and pharmacies are a few minutes' drive away. The village center of Benahavís, known for its dining scene, is nearby for culinary outings. The closest beaches, Playa Isdabe and Playa del Saladillo, are approximately 3.7 kilometers away in a straight line.

Benahavís's strategic position between Marbella and Estepona makes it a central hub for the western Costa del Sol. The project is not directly on the bustling beachfront but offers quick access to both the marina of Puerto Banús and the broader amenities of Estepona. This position combines the exclusivity associated with the 'Golden Mile' with the expansive layout of the 'New Golden Mile'.
The project is well-connected via nearby access roads linking to the A-7 coastal highway. Málaga Airport is located 46 kilometers away (straight line), equating to a drive time of approximately 45 minutes. International schools, such as The International School of Estepona, are reachable within 15 to 20 minutes. For beach enthusiasts, the coastal towns of Estepona and Marbella offer a wide range of amenities within a 15-minute drive.

Comparing with other projects in Benahavís, such as Fuente Lirios, shows that Altura 160 targets a higher price segment with a greater emphasis on open views. While projects in Mijas or Fuengirola (like Waterfall Residences) are often closer to the sea, Altura 160 offers a more rural, golf-oriented environment. The finishing quality and home size are comparable to Arosa in Mijas, but the West Coast location is generally quieter and more open.
