A contemporary detached villa of 573 m² on a 1,238 m² plot in the La Alquería urbanisation, Benahavís. Completed in 2024, the residence offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a heated saltwater pool, and a south-west orientation with mountain views and partial sea views from the upper level. The property includes a lift connecting all floors, underfloor heating, air conditioning, twenty solar panels, and parking for four vehicles. The asking price is €3,650,000, and the villa is offered unfurnished. Daily life here is car-based, with beaches roughly 6.6 km away as the crow flies.
Within Benahavís, comparable contemporary villa projects are currently marketed at from-prices of €3,250,000 (Zoe Luxe), €3,750,000 (Villa Azahar Real), and €3,900,000 (Villa Solis). This property's fixed asking price of €3,650,000 sits in the middle of that band, with the distinction that the build is already completed, buyers avoid construction-phase risk and can assess the finished product, systems, and views directly rather than from plans. In the wider Costa del Sol context, Benahavís occupies a specific niche: an inland, elevated municipality behind the Marbella, Estepona coastal strip, known for its golf concentration and low-density residential urbanisations. Compared with frontline Marbella (14 km straight-line), the setting is quieter and greener, with plot sizes typically larger than coastal equivalents, but without walkable beach access. Compared with Estepona town, Benahavís offers less urban convenience, the municipality has around 9,500 inhabitants, one primary school, and a single public transport line, in exchange for privacy and mountain scenery. The municipal area records roughly 800 housing transactions per year, a modest volume that reflects the low-density, high-value character of the market. Buyers comparing this villa with new-build alternatives should weigh the certainty of a finished 2024 construction against the customization possibilities, and waiting periods, of off-plan projects in the same price band.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits inland in the hills of Benahavís, in a quiet, semi-rural setting at about 204 m elevation. The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, lie 6.6–6.7 km away as the crow flies. Marbella is 14 km in a straight line. A car is necessary for daily travel; the airport is roughly 48 km distant.
The property provides 573 m² of living space across three levels, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a games room, utility and storage rooms, and 120 m² of terraces. A lift connects all floors. Parking comprises a two-car garage plus a covered carport for two further vehicles. The pool is private and heated, with saltwater filtration.
Construction was completed in 2024 and the villa is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied without further works. Delivery dates for this type of project are indicative; in this case the build is already finished. The property is offered unfurnished, with furnishings negotiable separately. Technical installations, including climate systems and solar panels, are operational.
The villa is unfurnished and offered at a fixed asking price of €3,650,000. It is located inland, so no beach is within walking distance and a car is required for virtually all daily errands. Public transport is limited to one line with a single stop. Sea views are partial and only from the upper level; full sea panoramas are not part of the offering.
This property matches a buyer seeking a large, recently completed villa that requires no renovation or waiting period. As a key-ready 2024 build, it suits households that want to move in directly, whether as a permanent residence, a second home, or a part-year base on the Costa del Sol. The layout, master suite, two en-suite bedrooms, plus a convertible lower level, works for families, for households that regularly host guests, or for owners who want a dedicated leisure floor with a games room and flexible space. The location suits buyers who value privacy, mountain scenery, and proximity to golf courses over coastal front-row living. With La Zagaleta, La Quinta, and Tramores golf courses within roughly 2 to 4.5 km as the crow flies, the property fits a golf-centred routine. It equally suits buyers who accept, or prefer, a car-based lifestyle: the beach at 6.6 km, Marbella at 14 km, and the airport at about 48 km all define the rhythm of travel here. The single public transport line means the property is not a practical choice without a vehicle. Buyers prioritising walkability, full sea views, or a furnished turnkey purchase will need to look elsewhere or negotiate the furniture separately. For owners focused on running costs, the twenty solar panels and high insulation standard are relevant to lower energy expenditure.
The villa was completed in 2024 and is documented as new construction. The kitchen is a Modul Nova open-plan installation with Miele appliances, and the main living area features a double-height ceiling with floor-to-ceiling glazing connecting to the terraces. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the master suite has a dedicated dressing area. Technical systems form a substantial part of the specification. Climate control combines underfloor heating with Airzone zoned air conditioning, allowing per-room temperature management. Twenty solar panels contribute to the energy supply, and the villa holds an 'A' energy certificate. Double glazing is fitted throughout, and a lift connects all floors, a practical feature given the three-level layout and the slope of the terrain. The pool is heated and uses saltwater filtration, which reduces chlorine handling compared with conventional systems. Outdoor space comprises 120 m² of covered and open terraces plus landscaped gardens on the 1,238 m² plot. Parking is provided for four vehicles: a secure two-car garage on the lower level and a covered carport for two more. Storage and utility rooms, a guest toilet, and a games room complete the lower floor. The property is delivered unfurnished, so buyers should budget for furnishing; the seller is open to negotiating the existing furnishings separately. As with any recently completed build, it is advisable to verify the handover documentation and installation certificates during the purchase process.
This is an existing, completed home with a fixed asking price of €3,650,000, not a price-list project with a "from" figure. The price relates to a 573 m² built villa on a 1,238 m² plot with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, 120 m² of terraces, a private heated saltwater pool, a lift, underfloor heating, air conditioning, twenty solar panels, and parking for four cars. The property is offered unfurnished; furnishings are negotiable as a separate arrangement. For context, comparable new-build villas in Benahavís are currently listed from approximately €3,250,000 to €3,900,000, which places this property within the established range for the segment.
Daily life at this villa revolves around its interior volume and its terraces rather than the street outside. The main floor contains a double-height living and dining area connected to an open-plan Modul Nova kitchen with Miele appliances. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto covered and open terraces, which lead down to the heated saltwater pool and landscaped gardens. With a south-west orientation, afternoon and evening sun reach the outdoor spaces, which suits late-day swimming and dining outside for much of the year. The upper floor holds the master suite with dressing area and two further en-suite bedrooms, each with terrace access and sea views. The lower level is an unfinished-in-function space, a versatile area that can be fitted out as additional living or leisure accommodation, alongside a guest toilet, storage, and the garage. The setting is the La Alquería urbanisation in Benahavís, a municipality of about 9,500 inhabitants stretching between Marbella, Estepona, and Ronda. The immediate surroundings are quiet and semi-rural; a pharmacy is about 700 m away and a supermarket 3.7 km as the crow flies. Fourteen restaurants, a school, a bank, and several cafés lie within roughly 2 km. Golf is a defining feature of the area, with La Zagaleta's course 2.2 km away, La Quinta Golf 3.9 km, and Tramores Golf 4.3 km. A hospital is 6.5 km distant. For anyone considering the location without a car, it should be understood that this is a driving household: the coastal road, San Pedro, and the beaches all require a vehicle, with the airport about 48 km away in a straight line.
Benahavís is a mountain municipality of roughly 9,500 inhabitants (2025) positioned between Marbella, Estepona, and Ronda, about 7 km from the coast. The villa's location in La Alquería places it in the quiet, inland part of the municipality at roughly 204 m elevation. The immediate surroundings are semi-rural, with viewpoints such as Mirador del Tajo del Novio (0.6 km) and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (1.2 km) within walking range, indicators of the hilly, scenic character of the area. Daily amenities are reachable but car-dependent. A pharmacy sits about 700 m away, an EV charging point 277 m from the property, and a supermarket 3.7 km as the crow flies. Within about 2 km there are fourteen restaurants, four cafés, a bank branch, and a primary school; The International School of Estepona lies 6.0 km away. A hospital is 6.5 km distant. Municipal sports facilities, including a sports hall, gym, and pools, are under 1 km away in the village. Public transport consists of one line with one stop, so the car is the default mode of transport. Marbella (14 km straight-line) and the marina at Puerto Banús (8.7 km) anchor the wider leisure offer, while beaches begin at 6.6 km as the crow flies.
The map shows the villa's position in La Alquería, Benahavís, on the inland side of the municipality. Note the short straight-line distances to the golf cluster, La Zagaleta at 2.2 km, La Quinta at 3.9 km, and the roughly 6.6 km to the nearest beaches, reflecting the elevated, semi-rural setting between Marbella and Estepona.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benahavís occupies an inland hillside position between Marbella (14 km straight-line) and Estepona, roughly 7 km from the coast and about 48–51 km from Málaga airport. Within the Costa del Sol, this places the property in the upmarket golf-and-hills belt behind the coastal strip, quieter and greener than frontline areas, but dependent on the car for the beach and coastal nightlife. Marbella and Puerto Banús provide the urban and maritime anchors, while Ronda and the interior mountains extend the options inland. The location combines rural tranquillity with access to one of the region's densest golf clusters.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer given the mountainous terrain. Beaches: Playa del Saladillo at 6.6 km and Playa Isdabe at 6.7 km. Golf: La Zagaleta Country Club course 2.2 km, La Quinta Golf 3.9 km, Tramores Golf 4.3 km, with El Higueral Golf (2.7 km) and Marbella Club Golf Resort (2.9 km) also nearby. Towns: Marbella 14 km, Estepona and San Pedro reachable by car in a short drive; Málaga city lies 60 km away in a straight line. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol approximately 51 km as the crow flies (the location analysis cites 48 km by the same measure), Gibraltar around 50 km. Daily amenities: supermarket 3.7 km, hospital 6.5 km, pharmacy 707 m, EV charging 277 m. Public transport is minimal, one line, one stop, so a car is necessary for virtually all trips, and the property's four parking spaces accommodate this directly.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.1°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. At 204 m elevation on a hillside, the villa benefits from slightly cooler evenings than the coast in summer, while remaining within the Costa del Sol's mild winter zone. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or more, lasts about four months, though the villa's heated saltwater pool extends outdoor swimming well beyond that window. The south-west orientation maximises afternoon and evening sun on the terraces, which matters for how the outdoor spaces are used day to day. The surrounding landscape is hilly: viewpoints, mountain slopes, and the green of several golf courses define the outlook, and the partial sea views from the upper floor are a product of the elevated position. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, keeping the warm season dry and predictable for outdoor living.
