The Romero Villa is situated within the Finca de Jasmine development in Benahavís, positioned inland approximately 48 kilometres from Málaga Airport. This single-storey bungalow occupies a plot of 627 square metres with 160 square metres of internal living space. The property faces south-east and is categorised as a new construction. It features a private garden and access to communal facilities including a clubhouse and spa. The setting provides views of the surrounding mountains, golf courses, and the sea, located within a secured community landscape spanning 269,000 square metres.
Compared to Sky Marbella Apartments and Lyra Residences, the Romero Villa distinguishes itself primarily through its typology as a detached bungalow rather than an apartment. While Sky Marbella and Lyra offer shared vertical living, the Romero Villa provides ground-level privacy and a private garden of 627 m². In terms of pricing, the Romero Villa's entry point of €1,895,000 is higher than Sky Marbella (€1,495,000) and Lyra (€1,510,000), reflecting the premium attached to land and the single-storey layout. Be Lagom, starting at €1,890,000, is the closest direct competitor in price. Geographically, all these projects are situated in Benahavís, yet the Romero Villa specifically benefits from the established infrastructure of Finca de Jasmine, which includes extensive communal gardens and leisure facilities. The Romero Villa's location further inland and adjacent to La Zagaleta offers a quieter, more exclusive setting compared to developments closer to the AP-7 motorway. The provision of a private pool and heated indoor pool access within the community adds a layer of amenity that surpasses standard apartment complexes in the region.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in the municipality of Benahavís, set inland from the Costa del Sol coastline at an elevation of 204 metres. It lies within the greater urbanisation of Finca de Jasmine, positioned between Marbella and Estepona. The site borders golf courses such as La Zagaleta and El Higueral, characterised by a Mediterranean garden landscape in a rural, mountainous environment.
This property addresses the requirement for single-level living with three bedrooms and bathrooms arranged on one floor. The layout includes an open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen and dining space. Features such as underfloor heating, air conditioning, and high ceilings are designed to maintain internal climate control and maximise natural light throughout the year.
The development is classified as new construction, with the specific unit status indicated as completed. The architectural style integrates organic and natural elements with contemporary design. Construction includes private pool facilities and landscaped gardens. The project phase allows for immediate occupancy, with the surrounding communal areas fully established to support the residential infrastructure.
The property does not feature furnished interiors, requiring procurement of loose items. Being situated inland, the location does not offer immediate beachfront access; the nearest coastline requires transport. The rural setting and elevated terrain may present limitations for pedestrians relying solely on walking for daily errands. Public transport connections are limited within the immediate vicinity.
This property fits the profile of residents seeking a permanent or secondary residence that prioritises privacy and security over central location. It is suitable for households that prefer single-level living, eliminating the need for stairs, which appeals to older residents or those with mobility considerations. The layout and amenities align with a lifestyle centred on wellness, given the on-site gym, spa, and heated pool options. The location is appropriate for individuals who do not require frequent daily commuting to Malaga city, as the 48-kilometre distance to the airport makes it better suited for leisure living or remote working. It is also fitting for golf enthusiasts, given the immediate proximity to three major golf clubs. The requirement for a car means this situation suits active drivers who are comfortable navigating mountain roads. Families looking for international education options will find the commute to The International School of Estepona feasible, though it requires daily transport.
The construction of the Romero Villa utilises a contemporary design language characterised by the use of organic and natural elements intended to harmonise with the surrounding landscape. The structure features extra-high ceilings and extensive glazing, a technical choice aimed at maximising natural light penetration and visual connection with the exterior. The inclusion of underfloor heating in both the main living areas and bathrooms indicates a focus on climate comfort beyond standard air conditioning systems. Materials selected for the interior include a fully fitted kitchen. The thermal control is managed via a ducted air conditioning system providing both heating and cooling. Windows and doors are likely double-glazed and insulated to meet energy efficiency requirements for new builds. The private pool is equipped with heating capabilities, extending the swimming season beyond the summer months. The communal areas boast landscaped Mediterranean gardens, requiring an irrigation system to maintain the vegetation in the dry climate. The finish level is consistent with modern standards, emphasizing open space and ergonomic flow.
The listed price for this property starts from €1,895,000. This price point reflects the segment of villas in the Benahavís area, specifically within gated communities offering additional amenities. When compared to comparable developments such as Sky Marbella Apartments and Lyra Residences, the Romero Villa is positioned at the higher end of the introductory market range. The cost includes the 160 m² living space and the 627 m² plot, along with access to the 269,000 m² communal grounds. Buyers should account for the absence of furniture in the listed price and the standard acquisition costs associated with Spanish real estate.
Living at this residence entails a rhythm defined by the quiet inland setting of Benahavís. The location is rural and peaceful, removed from the direct traffic of the coastal strip. Daily life centres around the private villa and the communal amenities of Finca de Jasmine, which include a spa, gym, and social club. The south-east orientation means mornings are characterised by sunlight entering through high windows, while the covered terraces provide shade during the hotter afternoon hours. Because the property is situated on a hillside at 204 metres above sea level, the terrain is sloped. This topography provides privacy and elevated views but necessitates a car for all external movements. The nearest supermarket and pharmacy are within a five-minute drive, suggesting that grocery runs and appointments are planned tasks rather than spontaneous walks. The presence of golf courses like La Zagaleta and Marbella Club Golf Resort immediately adjacent to the area indicates a neighbourhood focused on leisure and low-density housing. The atmosphere is residential and secure, consistent with a gated community. Evenings here are quiet, dominated by natural sounds rather than urban nightlife, suitable for residents prioritising tranquility over immediate access to bars and restaurants.
The immediate environment of Finca de Jasmine is defined by its integration with the golfing infrastructure of Benahavís. The surrounding area is residential with low density, focusing on villas and estates. Road connectivity is via local access roads that connect to the A-7 or AP-7 motorways, facilitating travel to Marbella (14 km) and Estepona. The infrastructure supports a car-dependent lifestyle; there is one public transport line in the vicinity, but the frequency and coverage are limited for daily use without a vehicle. Essential services are located at a distance; the closest supermarket is 3.7 km away, and a pharmacy is within 700 metres. Healthcare facilities, including the nearest hospital, are situated 6.5 km away, typically a 10-15 minute drive. The presence of municipal sports centres, including a pool and gymnasium, within one kilometre adds to the local leisure infrastructure. The area lacks the high-density commercial zones of the coast, meaning shopping and nightlife require travel to nearby towns.
The map shows the villa's position within the Finca de Jasmine complex, marked by its proximity to La Zagaleta. The property is situated inland, with the A-7 motorway visible to the south. The topography indicates elevation above the coastal plain. The map highlights the distance to the nearest beaches at San Pedro de Alcántara and the relative isolation from the dense urban centres of the Costa del Sol.

Situated at 204 metres above sea level, the property enjoys a microclimate typical of the Benahavís foothills. The elevation provides cooler evening temperatures compared to the immediate coast during the summer months. The region historically records approximately 3,846 hours of sunshine per year. The south-east orientation of the villa ensures exposure to morning sun while offering protection from the intense late afternoon western heat. The swimming season in outdoor pools typically lasts four months when water temperatures exceed 20°C, although the presence of a heated pool extends usability. The terrain is mountainous and sloped, which influences wind exposure and drainage. The average annual temperature is 18.1°C, ranging from winter averages of 12°C to summer highs of 26°C. This climate supports the growth of the Mediterranean vegetation evident in the gardens, though the dry summers necessitate irrigation.
