This detached villa is located within the Marbella Club Golf Resort in Benahavís, an inland, gated municipality in the province of Málaga. The property offers approximately 967 m² of built space on a plot of 6,037 m², with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three guest toilets. The house was originally built in 1970, has been renovated, and is delivered completed with new furniture and an integrated Sonos sound system. The resort provides 24-hour security, an 18-hole golf course and an equestrian centre. The nearest beaches lie roughly 6.6 km away; Málaga Airport is approximately 48 km distant. A car is necessary for daily movement.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in a quiet cul-de-sac within Marbella Club Golf Resort, between Marbella and Estepona and about seven kilometres from the coast. The plot adjoins two neighbouring properties and has no through traffic. Benahavís village lies nearby, while the surrounding municipality is mountainous and rural, with golf courses at 2.2 to 2.8 km and a supermarket at 3.7 km.
The property functions as a large family or holiday residence: five en-suite bedrooms, a private office, a gym, and a wellness area with sauna, Turkish bath and massage room. Three floors are connected by lift. Outdoor facilities include a renovated swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue area and mature gardens. Separate staff accommodation and a garage for several vehicles are present.
This is not a new-build project. The villa dates from 1970 and has since been renovated; the delivery status is completed and the property is ready to move into, including new furniture. The renovation covered the pool, outdoor kitchen and finishes. No construction risk or waiting period applies, as the purchase concerns an existing, finished residence.
The property is not walking distance to the beach; the nearest coast is approximately 6.6 km away and a car is required for daily errands. Public transport is limited to one line with one stop in the area. The villa has no sea-front position and depends on resort infrastructure for sports facilities. Access to the golf course and equestrian centre is subject to resort membership rules.
This property fits buyers seeking a large, finished villa with staff accommodation and wellness facilities in a secure, gated resort, typically families consolidating a permanent or long-stay residence, or owners who entertain guests and household staff regularly. The layout with lift access across three floors suits multi-generational use. It also suits golf-focused owners, given three courses within three kilometres. It fits less well for buyers who want walkable beach access, since the coast is 6.6 km away and every errand requires a car. Buyers relying on public transport will find one bus line only. Those seeking a lock-and-go apartment with low upkeep should note the gardens and pool of a 6,000 m² plot require ongoing maintenance. The original 1970 construction with subsequent renovation means buyers valuing a documented, recent build with new warranties may prefer genuine new-build alternatives. The resort context, 24-hour security, private roads, membership-based amenities, suits owners who prioritise privacy and controlled access over an integrated village or town setting.
The villa was recently renovated, according to the listing, using high-quality materials, and is delivered fully furnished with new furniture throughout. A Sonos sound system is integrated across indoor and outdoor areas. The interior programme includes a living room with fireplace, a kitchen with central island, and five en-suite bedrooms with a master suite featuring a dressing room and terrace access. Technical amenities include a lift serving all three floors, a private gym, and a wellness area with sauna, Turkish bath and massage room. Three guest toilets are distributed across the main floor, spa area and pool level. Externally, the swimming pool has been completely renovated, a new outdoor jacuzzi installed, and a new barbecue area built. The property includes separate staff accommodation and a garage for several vehicles. An electric vehicle charging point is located 277 m from the property, indicating EV infrastructure in the immediate area. Buyers should note that the building dates from 1970; the renovation scope and any documentation on insulation, electrical systems and energy performance should be verified during due diligence, as no energy label was provided in the project data. Structural and installation checks by an independent surveyor are standard practice for properties of this age, regardless of the visible finish quality.
The property is listed at €4,750,000 for the completed villa including furniture. Within Benahavís, comparable detached villas range from approximately €3,900,000 (Villa Solis) to €5,195,000 (Gate 3 Villa) and €5,790,000 (Villa Selene Luxe). This villa's price of roughly €4,900 per m² of built area sits in the middle of that range, with the large 6,037 m² plot as a distinguishing factor. As an existing, completed property, there is no phased pricing or construction-linked payment plan.
Daily life at this property is organised around the villa itself and the resort grounds. The main floor combines a living room with fireplace, dining areas and a kitchen with central island, all connected to covered terraces that face the sea and golf course views. Mornings can be spent on these terraces; the pool, jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen anchor the afternoons. The lift connects all three levels, which shapes how the house is used across generations or with guests. The wellness floor, sauna, Turkish bath, massage room with sea views, functions as a private spa rather than a shared facility. Because the nearest supermarket is 3.7 km away and the pharmacy 707 m, shopping trips are planned by car. Benahavís village, with its restaurants, sits a short drive away, and the municipality records fourteen restaurants within a two-kilometre radius of the wider area, plus municipal sports facilities including a sports hall, gym and pools under one kilometre from the village. The setting is quiet: no through traffic, two neighbours, and plots of this size create distance between households. Evenings tend to centre on the property itself, al fresco dining, the pool terrace, rather than on nearby nightlife, which lies in Marbella and Puerto Banús at roughly nine to fourteen kilometres. For residents who golf, three courses lie within three kilometres. The rhythm of the house suits extended stays and family gatherings more than a low-maintenance pied-à-terre.
Benahavís is a mountain municipality of 9,472 inhabitants (2025) covering 145 km², positioned between Marbella (14 km), Estepona and Ronda, roughly seven kilometres inland from the coast. The villa sits at about 204 m elevation, which explains the sea views combined with a cooler evening climate than directly on the coast. Within a two-kilometre radius, the area offers a school, a pharmacy, three banks, four cafés and fourteen restaurants, alongside municipal sports facilities. Daily infrastructure is car-based: supermarket at 3.7 km, hospital at 6.5 km, and an international school, The International School of Estepona, at 6 km. Public transport is minimal: one line, one stop. The surroundings are notably quiet, with viewpoints such as Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 0.6 km indicating walking access to natural terrain. The municipality recorded 800 property transactions, reflecting an active but low-volume market compared with Marbella's 147,958 inhabitants.
The map shows the villa's position within Marbella Club Golf Resort, inland of the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella. Note the proximity of three golf courses within three kilometres and the straight-line distance of roughly 6.6 km to the nearest beaches, with Marbella 14 km to the east.

The location records approximately 3,846 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, when sea temperature reaches 20°C or above, lasts about four months, typically June through September. At 204 m elevation on mountainous terrain, the property benefits from sea views while sitting above the immediate coastal humidity; slopes on the 6,037 m² plot are a factor for garden use and maintenance. The Benahavís area is known for its river gorges and hiking terrain, with named viewpoints within one to two kilometres. The inland position means summer heat is slightly less moderated than on the waterfront, and winter evenings can be a few degrees cooler than at the coast.

Within Benahavís, this villa competes directly with other large detached properties in gated settings. Villa Solis is listed from €3,900,000, Gate 3 Villa from €5,195,000 and Villa Selene Luxe from €5,790,000, placing this property mid-range at €4,750,000. Its differentiators are the plot size of over 6,000 m², the completed and furnished delivery status, and the wellness infrastructure. Compared with La Zagaleta, the region's highest-profile estate, whose golf course lies 2.2 km away, Marbella Club Golf Resort is generally positioned as a more accessible gated community while still offering 24-hour security, an 18-hole course and equestrian facilities. Relative to Marbella itself (14 km east), Benahavís trades beach proximity and urban services for elevation, quiet and lower density; average property values in the municipality rank among the highest in Andalusia. Compared with coastal Estepona, roughly 15, 20 minutes west, the inland location means cooler evenings and more greenery but a mandatory car for the beach. The regional buyer profile here is distinct from the apartment market: transactions in Benahavís (800 recorded) are dominated by high-value villa sales to international owners, with the municipality's full-time population of under 10,000 creating a seasonal rhythm in which the village is quiet outside summer and holiday periods.
