This detached villa stands in the gated community of Puerto del Capitán, in the hills above Benahavís in the province of Málaga. The property offers five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 475 m² of living space on a plot of 1,312 m², with a private infinity pool, terraces facing south west and panoramic views over sea, mountains and countryside. The villa is key-ready and offered at a fixed asking price of €5,200,000. Distances are measured in a straight line: the nearest beach lies 6.6 km away, Marbella 14 km and Málaga Airport roughly 51 km. A car is necessary for daily travel from this location.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits inland in a quiet, rural part of Benahavís, at about 204 m above sea level. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies 8.7 km away as the crow flies, while the nearest beaches are roughly 6.6 km from the property. Golf courses surround the area, with La Zagaleta's course 2.2 km distant. Road distances are longer than these straight-line figures.
The house is arranged for residential use across several levels: an open-plan living and dining area with high ceilings, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a wine cellar, a separate laundry room, storage space, a basement and two private parking spaces. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors connect the interior to covered terraces and the pool area.
The property is marketed as a completed, key-ready villa. The listing notes 1970 as the recorded construction year of the building register, while the condition is described as new construction. Delivery dates are indicative; buyers should verify the actual build status and documentation during due diligence.
The villa is sold unfurnished. Daily life requires a car: the nearest supermarket is 3.7 km away and public transport in the municipality is limited to one line with one stop. The plot of 1,312 m² is modest relative to other villas in this segment. No energy performance details are included in the available data.
This property fits a buyer seeking a completed, move-in-ready villa in a secure inland community, without the waiting period associated with off-plan construction. Households wanting five bedrooms and seven bathrooms will find space for a large family, regular guests or live-in staff. The configuration also suits buyers who plan to use the house partly for rental, although any letting intentions should be checked against community rules. It suits a household comfortable with car-dependent living: the beaches are several kilometres away, shopping requires a drive, and public transport within the municipality is minimal. Buyers who imagine stepping out directly onto a promenade or walking to restaurants in the evening will find this location less convenient; the trade-off is quiet, elevation and unbroken views. Golf players benefit from the surrounding courses, including La Zagaleta 2.2 km away and La Quinta 3.9 km away as the crow flies. Families with school-age children have one primary school within 2 km and an international school 6.0 km distant, though secondary education requires travel further afield. The property is less suitable for buyers seeking a low-maintenance apartment, a furnished turnkey purchase, or a home within walking distance of daily amenities. The fixed asking price of €5,200,000 positions it for buyers with a budget in the upper range of the Benahavís market.
The listing describes a contemporary villa with clean architectural lines and carefully selected materials. Interior photography shows an open-plan living area with a staircase featuring a glass balustrade, a modern kitchen with wood cabinetry and a marble worktop, and living spaces opening onto balconies with sea views. Documented features include fitted wardrobes, a covered terrace, a storage room, a utility room and a basement, along with air conditioning for climate control. The seven bathrooms relative to five bedrooms indicate an en-suite arrangement for most bedrooms plus guest facilities. Two private parking spaces are included within the gated complex. The private infinity pool sits on the main terrace, which is oriented south west for afternoon and evening sun. As is standard with resale or newly completed properties in Spain, finishes described in marketing material should be verified during a viewing, and buyers are advised to commission an independent technical survey. The recorded construction year of 1970 in combination with the new-construction condition label suggests either substantial renovation or a recent rebuild; clarifying this point with the seller's documentation is a normal part of due diligence. No energy performance certificate details, warranty terms or developer guarantees are included in the available data, so these should be requested before any purchase decision. The wine cellar and separate laundry room are functional additions that support permanent residence rather than short-stay use.
The villa is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €5,200,000, not as part of a price list with variable unit prices. At 475 m² of living space, this corresponds to roughly €10,950 per square metre. The property is key-ready and unfurnished, so buyers should budget for furnishing and any personal adjustments after purchase. Recurring costs such as community fees for the gated complex, annual IBI property tax and waste charges are not specified in the available data and should be requested separately. Comparable newly built villas in Benahavís are currently listed from roughly €3,900,000 to €6,495,000, which places this asking price in the upper segment of the local market for this type of property.
Puerto del Capitán is a gated residential community in the Benahavís hills, and daily life here follows the rhythm of an inland, elevated setting rather than a beachfront one. Mornings typically begin with south-west light across the terraces; the orientation means the outdoor areas hold sun through the afternoon and into the evening, which suits outdoor dining beside the private infinity pool. The living zone works around an open-plan layout with high ceilings, with the kitchen, dining and sitting areas connected and directly linked to the terraces through full-height sliding glass. Practical errands involve short drives: the nearest supermarket lies 3.7 km away as the crow flies, a pharmacy 707 m, and a hospital 6.5 km. Within 2 km of the village area there are around fourteen restaurants, a school, a bank branch and several cafés, so basic amenities are reachable, though nearly always by car. The elevated position produces the panoramic views over sea, mountains and countryside described in the listing, and it also means sloped terrain and winding access roads are part of the setting. The village of Benahavís itself is known for its gastronomy and functions as the local service centre. Sports facilities in the wider municipality number around twenty-five, including a municipal sports hall 0.7 km away, a municipal gym and public pools within about a kilometre. For swimming in the sea, the nearest beaches are about 6.6 km distant in a straight line, so a beach day is a deliberate trip rather than a walk.
Daily life in this part of Benahavís revolves around short car journeys. A supermarket lies 3.7 km away as the crow flies, a pharmacy 707 m from the property and the nearest hospital 6.5 km. The village itself, with roughly 9,472 inhabitants, offers restaurants, cafés, banks and a primary school within a 2 km radius, giving the area basic self-sufficiency without urban density. Public transport consists of a single line with one stop, which in practice confirms the car as the primary means of transport. The road network connects to San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella for wider shopping, healthcare and services. The setting is quiet and rural, with viewpoints such as Mirador del Tajo del Novio 0.6 km away and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos 1.2 km away, reflecting the mountainous character of the municipality. For families, The International School of Estepona lies 6.0 km distant in a straight line. Municipal sports facilities, including the sports hall at 0.7 km, public pools at 0.9 km and the gym at 0.8 km, provide everyday exercise options close to home.
The map shows the villa's position in the hills behind the western Costa del Sol: inland and elevated, with the coastline roughly 6.6 km away and Marbella 14 km to the east. Note that the distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual driving distances and times are longer due to the mountainous terrain.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benahavís occupies an inland position between Marbella, 14 km to the east, Estepona to the west and Ronda in the mountains. The municipality forms part of the western Costa del Sol luxury belt, alongside La Zagaleta, Los Flamingos and the Guadalmina area. Compared with Marbella's 147,958 inhabitants, Benahavís remains a village-scale municipality of about 9,472 residents, with roughly 800 housing transactions per year. Málaga city, the provincial capital, lies 60 km away, and Algeciras 56 km to the south-west.
By car, the villa connects to the A-7 coastal corridor via San Pedro de Alcántara, giving access to Marbella 14 km away in a straight line and Estepona further west. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 51 km away as the crow flies, and Gibraltar Airport about 50 km; both figures translate into longer road journeys given the mountainous terrain. The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, lie 6.6 to 6.7 km distant. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 8.7 km away for marina-based leisure. Golf is the closest amenity of all: La Zagaleta's course is 2.2 km away, La Quinta Golf 3.9 km and Tramores Golf 4.3 km, all measured in a straight line. An electric vehicle charging point stands 277 m from the property. Public transport is limited to one line with one stop, so visitors without a car depend on taxis or private transfers.

Benahavís lies at 204 m above sea level, on the lower slopes of the coastal mountain range behind the western Costa del Sol. The average annual temperature is 18.1 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer, a pattern that supports outdoor use of the terraces and pool for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea water at or above 20 °C, lasts around four months, from roughly June to October. The elevated position means cooler evenings than on the coast in summer and occasional frost-free but fresh nights in winter. The surrounding landscape is characterised by mountain views, native woodland and the viewpoints within walking distance, and the municipality's 145 km² of territory includes substantial undeveloped land. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, while the summer months are predominantly dry and sunny.

The coastline nearest to the property lies around 6.6 to 6.7 km away as the crow flies, at Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, both on the San Pedro, Estepona stretch. These are beach-club and chiringuito beaches rather than urban sands, in keeping with the residential character of the area. Recreational life inland centres on golf: La Zagaleta Country Club's course 2.2 km away, La Quinta Golf at 3.9 km, Tramores Golf at 4.3 km and, slightly further, El Higueral Golf and the Marbella Club Golf Resort. Walking routes start close to home, with Mirador del Tajo del Novio 0.6 km away and Puerto Velate 2.5 km distant. Municipal facilities include the sports hall, gym and public pools within about a kilometre. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, 8.7 km away, offers marina leisure, dining and nightlife. In total the municipality counts some twenty-five sports facilities, which is high relative to its population of under ten thousand.

Within Benahavís, comparable detached villas currently on the market include Sky Marbella Villas with prices from €6,495,000, Gate 3 Villa from €5,195,000 and Villa Solis from €3,900,000. Against this range, the fixed asking price of €5,200,000 for this key-ready property sits in the upper-middle segment of the municipality's villa supply. A distinction worth noting is that the comparables are marketed as new-build projects with price lists, meaning delivery times and construction risk apply, whereas this villa is completed and available for immediate transfer. At €5,200,000 for 475 m², the property works out at roughly €10,950 per square metre, which buyers can benchmark against the per-square-metre pricing of the alternatives during viewings. Location-wise, Benahavís competes with Marbella's Golden Mile and Nueva Andalucía on the coast itself, where prices per square metre are generally higher but hillside views and plot sizes are harder to obtain. The trade-off here is distance from the sea: the nearest beach lies 6.6 km away in a straight line, whereas coastal alternatives sit within walking distance of the sand. What Benahavís offers in return is elevation, tranquillity and proximity to one of the densest concentrations of golf courses on the Costa del Sol, including La Zagaleta, La Quinta and Tramores within about 4 km. Municipality-level data shows roughly 800 housing transactions per year against fewer than ten thousand residents, indicating an active but relatively small market where individual properties, particularly completed villas, face limited direct competition from buyers unwilling to wait for off-plan delivery. Buyers comparing this villa with new-build alternatives should weigh the immediate availability and established surroundings against newer technical installations and developer warranties available elsewhere.
