Madroñal 135 is an exceptional Andalusian-style villa for sale in the exclusive hills of El Madroñal, Benahavís, one of the Costa del Sol’s most prestigious gated communities. Combining seven en-suite bedrooms with vast indoor and outdoor living areas, this distinguished residence perfectly balances timeless Mediterranean architecture with the convenience and elegance expected of a modern family home. Surrounded by nature, yet only minutes from the coast and key amenities, it represents an opportunity to acquire one of Benahavís’ most desirable addresses.
The property immediately impresses with its private entrance framed by wrought-iron gates and a sweeping driveway bordered by mature gardens and palm trees. Traditional Andalusian elements such as whitewashed walls, terracotta roof tiles, and hand-crafted tiling give the villa a sense of timeless charm, while the scale of the architecture conveys both grandeur and comfort. Inside, the high-ceilinged entrance hall welcomes natural light and creates a warm first impression, setting the tone for the home’s airy and elegant interiors.
The ground floor is dedicated to generous living and entertaining spaces. A main lounge with fireplace and TV area offers comfort for everyday living, while the formal dining room is designed for more intimate occasions. The kitchen, complete with a central island, is both practical and stylish, making it ideal for family meals or hosting guests. On this level, a separate guest apartment with its own access adds versatility, while an additional en-suite bedroom provides even more accommodation. Expansive terraces and shaded porches extend seamlessly outdoors, allowing residents to enjoy year-round sunshine and views across the gardens and surrounding hills.
Upstairs, a spacious landing connects to four en-suite bedrooms, each opening onto a private terrace or balcony. From here, the breathtaking scenery of the Mediterranean Sea and the nearby mountains unfolds in every direction. The master suite stands out as a true retreat, featuring its own sitting area, dressing room, and private terrace overlooking the gardens below.
At garden level, the basement reveals a large multi-purpose area. Previously housing an indoor swimming pool, it is now covered for additional living space but can easily be restored if desired. This level also offers a self-contained guest apartment with kitchen and lounge, changing rooms, a summer kitchen, utility spaces, and ample storage. It provides a wealth of possibilities for customisation, whether for wellness facilities, entertainment areas, or extended family use.
The outdoor spaces complete the property’s appeal. The expansive plot includes manicured gardens, a variety of citrus trees, a large swimming pool, and sunbathing areas designed for relaxation. A covered carport for two vehicles ensures practicality, complementing the villa’s sense of space and privacy.
El Madroñal is celebrated for its security, tranquility, and privileged location. This gated community in the hills above Benahavís provides 24-hour security and controlled access, offering residents peace of mind in a setting of natural beauty. The area is known for its rolling hills, pine forests, and panoramic views of the coastline. Despite its private feel, El Madroñal is just a short drive from the lively town of San Pedro de Alcántara, the glamour of Puerto Banús, and the cultural richness of Benahavís village, often called the “dining room of the Costa del Sol” thanks to its celebrated restaurants such as Los Abanicos and El Castillo.
Golf enthusiasts will find world-class courses close by, including La Zagaleta, Los Arqueros, and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. Families benefit from access to international schools such as Aloha College and Laude San Pedro International College, while beaches including Playa de San Pedro and Playa del Saladillo are only 15 minutes away. Road connections are excellent, with Marbella and Estepona both within 20 minutes and Malaga Airport less than 45 minutes by car.
With its solid construction, expansive layout, and extraordinary natural surroundings, Madroñal 135 is a rare property that combines Andalusian charm with modern comfort. It is perfectly suited as a permanent family home or as a private retreat in one of the most desirable locations in Benahavís.
