The villa is positioned to maximise natural light with a south-west orientation, while maintaining privacy from the immediate urban surroundings.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Torremuelle, a residential district of Benalmádena Costa. It lies approximately 300 metres from the coastline at an elevation of 35 metres above sea level. The location is urban, with immediate access to local amenities, yet the plot provides a secluded environment. The area is characterised by a mix of detached villas and townhouses.
This residence accommodates requirements for substantial internal space and multifunctional rooms. It features six bedrooms, including a suite in the gym area, and several living rooms. The property includes a cinema room, a hammam, and a large basement, addressing needs for indoor leisure and storage. The layout supports large families or households requiring separate guest quarters.
The construction of the villa was completed in 2013. It is a finished product available for immediate occupation. No additional building phases are pending. The gardens and swimming pool are fully matured, contrasting with new developments that require time for landscaping to establish.
The terrain between the property and the beach features a 7.3% gradient, which may impact ease of access on foot. The air conditioning system is pre-installed, but the machinery requires separate purchase and installation. The property is not part of a gated community with shared security, relying instead on private boundaries. The architectural style is specific and traditional, lacking the open-plan minimalism found in contemporary builds.
This property suits households requiring a significant number of bedrooms and communal areas. It fits buyers seeking a character property rather than a modern off-plan apartment. The presence of a gym and cinema room indicates a suitability for families who spend leisure time at home. The immediate availability appeals to those with time constraints who cannot wait for construction completion. It is also appropriate for buyers who value craftsmanship and traditional materials over contemporary finishes.
The villa features materials sourced from Morocco, evident in the arches, tiling, and woodwork. The construction includes underfloor heating throughout the main living areas, a feature not always standard in properties of this age in the region. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and direct terrace access. Technical provisions include pre-installation for air conditioning and satellite television. The basement is a significant structural feature, offering a versatile 269 m² space currently utilised as a gym and utility area.
The asking price is set at €3,295,000. This pricing reflects the combination of a large plot size (1,026 m²) and extensive constructed area (609 m²). In the Benalmádena Costa market, detached villas with sea views and private pools in this price range represent the higher end of the spectrum. The value is derived from the land value, the square footage of the build, and the architectural distinctiveness.
Daily life in this residence is characterised by a balance between privacy and accessibility. Mornings typically begin with sunlight on the south-west facing terraces, overlooking the Mediterranean. The steep incline to the beach means that while the coast is within walking distance, the journey involves a descent and subsequent ascent, making it more suitable for the physically active. The proximity to the train station (1.2 km) allows for car-free travel to Málaga or Fuengirola, though a vehicle is recommended for general transport. Evenings can be spent outdoors utilising the dedicated kitchen and barbecue area, sheltered from the coastal winds. The urban setting ensures that restaurants and supermarkets are within a short drive, reducing the need for long-distance planning.
The immediate environment offers a high density of amenities, including 192 restaurants and 28 pharmacies within a 2 km radius. The Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel train station is 1.2 km away, providing a direct link to Málaga Airport in approximately 15 minutes. The road network connects via the N-340 coastal road, which runs parallel to the coastline. This infrastructural setup allows for efficient travel along the Costa del Sol.
The map highlights the villa's position on the hillside of Torremuelle, descending towards the Mediterranean Sea. The elevation illustrates the panoramic views towards the coastline and Africa. The layout shows the proximity to the AP-7 motorway and the local train line.

Compared to developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (starting from €269,950) and Lantana Residencial in Mijas (starting from €205,000), this Benalmádena villa occupies a distinctly different market segment. The comparables are entry-level apartment complexes focused on modern, compact living. In contrast, the villa offers high square footage, a detached status, and immediate availability at a significantly higher price point. While Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (starting from €259,000) represents contemporary new builds, this villa provides established gardens and specific architectural character (Andalusian-Moroccan) that cannot be replicated in modern standardised projects. The price reflects the scarcity of large plots with sea views in this central location of the Costa del Sol, whereas the other projects offer affordability and high-density living.
