Covered parking for multiple vehicles, a games room and a jacuzzi complete the offering. The home is key-ready, allowing immediate occupation. The nearest beach lies approximately 1.7 km away as the crow flies, with Marbella around 11 km straight-line and Málaga Airport roughly 6 km as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in the Los Arqueros area of Benahavís, an inland residential setting within the western Costa del Sol. Marbella lies 11 km away in a straight line, while the coast and its beaches are within approximately 2 km as the crow flies. The nearest train stations are under one kilometre distant, and five public transport lines serve the wider area. A car remains the practical mode for daily errands.
Five en-suite bedrooms are distributed across three levels, giving separated sleeping zones for family, guests or a home office. The lower floor holds a multifunctional room suitable as a cinema, games room or second lounge. A private pool, garden, jacuzzi and barbecue area support outdoor living, while covered parking for several vehicles and storage rooms cover practical household needs.
This is an existing home, originally completed in 1970 and recently fully renovated. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the villa can be occupied without further building work. New doors, flooring and bathrooms were installed during the refurbishment, and the property is sold fully furnished. Completion dates relating to the renovation are indicative.
The property offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms but no additional bedrooms beyond that count. There is no lift mentioned between the three floors. One primary school is registered within reach; no secondary or international schools are listed in the available data. The home has covered parking rather than a closed garage. No sauna, gym or staff accommodation is recorded.
This property fits a buyer seeking a move-in-ready detached villa in the Benahavís area at the upper end of the market. Recognisable situations include: a family relocating permanently who need five en-suite bedrooms with floor-level separation between parents, children and guests; a household combining residence with remote work, using the ground-floor en-suite room as an office; owners who regularly host visitors and want a self-contained guest arrangement plus a games or cinema room; and buyers who prefer to avoid a furnishing project, since the villa is delivered fully furnished after its recent renovation. The layout also suits multi-generational living, with the lower floor's three en-suite bedrooms capable of functioning as an independent sleeping wing. Conversely, the property is less aligned with buyers seeking a lock-and-leave apartment, a new-build off-plan purchase, or a home within walking distance of a town centre, this is a residential setting where a car is used for most daily trips. The 1970 origin, fully renovated, will appeal to buyers who value established construction and a mature garden plot of over 1,200 m² rather than a compact new-build terrace. Households wanting walking access to secondary or international schooling should verify school options independently, as only one primary school appears in the records.
The recent renovation addressed the main wear points of the 1970 structure: new doors, new flooring and new bathrooms throughout all three levels. The interior palette relies on natural stone and marble finishes, with bronze-tinted glass as a recurring architectural detail, visible in the photographed bathrooms with black basins and double vanity units, which confirm a deliberate, consistent design language rather than piecemeal updates. High ceilings and generous window openings dominate the plan; the images show a modern living room with full-height glazing and an open kitchen-dining space oriented towards the view, indicating that daylight penetration was a design priority. The five bathrooms are all en-suite, finished in the same contemporary materials, with walk-in showers and mirrored cabinetry. The property is sold fully furnished with neutral tones and understated materials, so the finishing level can be assessed directly during a viewing rather than estimated. Technically, the villa offers a utility room, separate storage room, jacuzzi, barbecue installation and covered parking for multiple vehicles. As with any renovated 1970s building, buyers are advised to commission an independent technical survey covering insulation, electrical installation and window performance, since these elements are not specified in the available documentation. The renovation standard is contemporary and consistent across all floors; no phased or partially completed areas are mentioned.
The villa is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €4,550,000, not a from-price within a project price list. For this budget the buyer receives 418 m² of built space, a 1,202 m² plot, five en-suite bedrooms, a private pool and garden, and a complete recent renovation delivered fully furnished. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start considerably lower, for example Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those are apartments in different locations and market segments. Around 800 housing transactions are recorded per year in the local market. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position.
The villa is arranged for year-round family living with clearly separated zones. The ground floor contains an entrance hall that opens the sightlines towards the surrounding landscape, together with one en-suite bedroom currently configured as a home office, a room that can double as guest accommodation when visitors stay. The first floor is reserved for the principal suite, with a dressing area, generous wardrobe space and an en-suite bathroom; its elevated position frames the sea and pool views from the sleeping area itself. Three further en-suite bedrooms sit on the lower level, each with practical storage, alongside a substantial multifunctional room currently used as a playroom that could become a cinema, games room or secondary lounge. Daily routines revolve around the south-east orientation: the principal living areas and the pool terrace receive sun through the middle of the day and into the evening, making the outdoor kitchen, barbecue and jacuzzi natural focal points from late morning onwards. With 418 m² built on a 1,202 m² plot, the layout allows different household members to occupy separate floors without disturbing one another, a structure that suits households combining permanent residence with regular guests. The immediate setting is residential and quiet, with everyday amenities such as restaurants, pharmacies and banks concentrated within a two-kilometre radius, and the beach roughly 1.7 km away in a straight line, an easy short drive.
Daily life around Los Arqueros is residential and comparatively quiet, with the density of amenities you would expect near a coastal town rather than a remote hillside. Within a two-kilometre radius, the records list 98 restaurants, 117 pharmacies, 37 banks, 45 cafés and 16 dentists, a concentration that makes routine errands, dining out and healthcare access short car trips rather than expeditions. One primary school lies within the same radius. The nearest beach, Playa de San Andrés, sits 1.7 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de la Misericordia at 2.4 km, so seaside routines are a few minutes' drive. Sports facilities are close at hand: a boxing club at 0.3 km and municipal sports halls and football pitches within 0.4 km straight-line. Train stations at Barbarela (0.2 km), La Unión (0.7 km) and Carranque (0.8 km) provide rail connections, and fifty public transport stops across five lines serve the area, giving some car-free options for local travel. Marbella, with its full range of shopping, healthcare and dining, lies 11 km away in a straight line. The gradient towards the beach is a flat 1.4%, so cycling to the coast is realistic for most residents.
The map shows the villa in its Benahavís setting relative to the coastline, Marbella and the transport network. Straight-line distances to the beach, golf courses and the airport are marked; actual road distances are longer. The flat 1.4% gradient to the sea is visible in the terrain.

Los Arqueros occupies a position between the coast and the Benahavís hills, placing the villa within a short drive of Marbella (11 km straight-line) while remaining outside its urban density. Málaga city and its airport anchor the regional transport network to the east, at 57 km and roughly 6 km straight-line respectively. Algeciras lies 58 km to the south-west, connecting towards Cádiz province. In Costa del Sol terms, this places the property in the established western corridor around Benahavís and Marbella, a segment known for villa stock, golf courses and mountain-backed residential estates.
Accessibility is one of the practical strengths of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 6 km away as the crow flies, one of the shortest airport distances on the coast, which matters for international arrivals and frequent travellers. Gibraltar Airport is 102 km straight-line. By rail, three stations sit within 0.8 km, and the local network of five bus lines and fifty stops covers the immediate area. By car, the coastal artery connects the villa to Marbella (11 km straight-line), while Málaga city, with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 57 km straight-line and offers the region's main hospitals, cultural institutions and high-speed rail link. Beaches within easy reach include Playa de San Andrés at 1.7 km and Playa Sacaba at 3.6 km, both straight-line. Golfers have three courses within ten kilometres: Club de Golf Málaga Parador (6.7 km), Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (7.3 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (9.4 km). Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina at 3.0 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 3.2 km, cater to boating. Electric-vehicle charging points start from 2.5 km away.

The climate data indicates a Mediterranean pattern with monthly average temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 27°C at the height of summer, and an annual mean of 18.8°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, runs for about five months, aligning with the period when the villa's pool, jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen see most use. The site elevation is 23 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of just 1.4%, meaning flat access to the coast on foot or by bicycle. The south-east orientation of the villa places the principal living spaces and pool terrace in the sun path from morning onwards; in practice this means breakfast in daylight on the terrace and shaded afternoons possible indoors when summer temperatures peak. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, as is typical for southern Spain, so outdoor living is largely uninterrupted from late spring to early autumn. The nearby viewpoints, Mirador de la Alcazaba at 3.1 km and Torre Blanca at 3.4 km, offer walking destinations with elevated outlooks over the coastline.

The closest beach, Playa de San Andrés, lies 1.7 km away in a straight line, a few minutes by car on a flat route. Playa de la Misericordia follows at 2.4 km and Playa Sacaba at 3.6 km, giving residents a choice of urban and more open stretches of coast within a short drive. For boating and water sports, IGY Málaga Marina (3.0 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (3.2 km) provide berths and services, while Puerto Deportivo del Candado lies 9.2 km away. Golf is well represented: three courses, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez, sit between 6.7 and 9.4 km from the property. Land-based recreation includes a boxing club 0.3 km away and municipal sports facilities at 0.4 km, including a sports hall and football pitches. Within the plot itself, the private pool, jacuzzi and barbecue area cover day-to-day outdoor leisure, and the games room provides a covered option for the cooler months. The 32 local public holidays per year bring a steady calendar of ferias and processions to the surrounding towns.

At €4,550,000 for 418 m², this villa sits firmly in the upper segment of the Costa del Sol market, and the comparison with current new-build offerings clarifies its position. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, prices that reflect apartment typologies in mid-market locations rather than detached villas. Those projects sell price per square metre in the €3,000–4,500 range typical of new coastal apartments, whereas this property's fixed asking price corresponds to roughly €10,900 per built square metre, a level consistent with renovated detached villas on large plots in the Benahavís, Marbella corridor. What the buyer acquires for that premium is land and typology: a 1,202 m² private plot, five en-suite bedrooms, a private pool and the flexibility of a three-level villa layout, attributes that apartments by definition cannot offer. Against other villa locations on the coast, the position is unusual in combining a quiet residential setting with an airport barely 6 km away as the crow flies and a beach under 2 km, a proximity more often associated with city districts than villa estates. Marbella at 11 km straight-line and Málaga city at 57 km place both retail and cultural hubs within daily reach. Market liquidity in the area, at around 800 transactions per year, is moderate; detached villas in this price band generally transact more slowly than apartments, and buyers comparing options should weigh the villa's space and privacy against the lower entry prices and communal facilities of new-build alternatives in Mijas, Estepona or Torre del Mar.
