Sky Marbella Villas is an exclusive residential development under construction in Benahavís, Málaga. The project features 16 detached villas, each offering approximately 822 m² to 869 m² of living space on plots around 1,048 m². Located inland near La Quinta at an elevation of approximately 120 meters above sea level, the community is designed as a 'gated community' with 24-hour security. Handover is expected in the third quarter of 2026, with prices starting from €5,995,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the municipality of Benahavís, inland from the coast, near the La Alborada urbanization. It is located approximately 5.6 km (as the crow flies) from San Pedro beach and about 3.3 km from the nearest supermarket. The site is characterized by the mountainous landscape of the hinterland, offering views of the coastline and the sea. The terrain has a moderate slope towards the coast.
These villas are designed for residents prioritizing privacy and space. With 5 to 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, the homes provide ample room for large families or guests. The inclusion of an elevator and a private basement adds versatility and accessibility to the property. The project features communal social areas, fostering a shared residential experience within the secure, gated environment.
The project is currently under construction, with indicative completion set for Q3 2026. The structure utilizes reinforced concrete with walls and pillars. Finishes include large-format Inalco porcelain tiles and wooden terrace finishes. Pre-installation for air conditioning (hot and cold) and underfloor heating systems is included.
The location is car-dependent, meaning a vehicle is necessary for daily mobility. The distance to the beach is approximately 5.6 km (as the crow flies), making beach access dependent on driving. There are no specific commercial amenities such as shops or restaurants directly on the site; residents must travel to nearby towns like San Pedro or Estepona for these services.

This project suits buyers seeking a permanent residence with high levels of privacy and security. It is ideal for families preferring quiet over immediate access to nightlife. The 24/7 security and gated community appeal to those prioritizing safety. It is also relevant for golfers wanting direct access to multiple courses. The property is less suitable for those unable or unwilling to drive.
The finishes focus on durability and luxury materials. Floors are large-format travertine-style ceramic (Inalco Pacific). Doors and windows are aluminum with thermal break and sound insulation. Bathrooms feature built-in furniture and high-end fittings. Underfloor heating is installed in bathrooms. Energy efficiency measures include insulated walls and ceilings.
Prices for the villas range from €5,995,000 to €8,995,000. This positions the project in the luxury segment of the Costa del Sol real estate market. Price variations likely result from differences in plot size, specific location within the project, and finishing options. High demand for luxury homes in Benahavís may limit availability.
Daily life here is defined by tranquility and privacy. The hillside location offers shelter and panoramic views but requires driving for all destinations. Mornings begin with sea views before driving to the coast or hinterland for amenities. With multiple golf courses nearby, including La Quinta just 603 meters away, the location is particularly suited for golf enthusiasts. The gated community structure ensures a secure environment, removed from the hustle of the tourist coastal strip.
The surroundings offer a mix of nature and luxury amenities. There are 25 sports facilities in the region, including several golf courses within a short distance. Daily groceries are available at a supermarket 3.3 km away. Healthcare is accessible 3.4 km away (hospital) and a pharmacy at 1.3 km. The coastal towns of Marbella and Puerto Banús are about a 10 to 15-minute drive away, offering a wide range of restaurants, shops, and marinas.
The map displays the inland location of the project in Benahavís, clearly separated from the coastline. Distances to access roads (AP-7) and nearby golf courses are visible. Blue markers indicate beaches approximately 5 to 6 km away.
Benahavís is located in what is often termed the 'Golden Triangle,' between Marbella, Estepona, and Ronda. It is one of Europe's most coveted areas due to the blend of coastal luxury and rural authenticity. The project sits on the southern edge of El Madroñal, an area known for its exclusive villas and tranquility.
The nearest airport, Málaga-Costa del Sol, is approximately 48 km away as the crow flies. Driving time varies by traffic but is roughly 45 minutes to an hour via the AP-7. San Pedro beach is 5.6 km away as the crow flies. Public transport exists in the region, but the limited frequency and proximity (1 nearby stop) make a car practically necessary.

Compared to projects like Vista Lago Residences (priced from €6,395,000), Sky Marbella sits in a similar price bracket but offers a different setting with more direct access to golf courses. Unlike Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000), which targets a broader audience, Sky Marbella focuses specifically on the ultra-luxury segment with larger plots and higher security. Gate 3 Villa is a direct competitor with a similar urbanization style, but Sky Marbella distinguishes itself through the specific 'infinite dialogue' architecture by Manuel Burgos.
