Capanes del Golf Area Guide
About Capanes del Golf
Completed in approximately 2008, Capanes del Golf is an established luxury apartment development in Benahavís, close to El Higueral Golf. The community is commonly described as comprising 267 apartments across 32 low-rise buildings, set within approximately 50,000 m² of landscaped tropical gardens.
Unlike newer boutique developments, Capanes has the advantage of maturity. Its greenery is well established, the buildings sit among substantial gardens and the community has developed a settled residential atmosphere.
For buyers, this creates an appealing balance: resort-style facilities without the feel of a busy holiday complex, alongside generous apartment proportions and practical access to the coast.
The development's established character is especially relevant to purchasers comparing Capanes with newer hillside projects, where architectural design may be more contemporary but gardens, communal facilities and available living space can differ significantly.
Location & accessibility
Capanes del Golf sits beside El Higueral Golf, off the Benahavís road, inland from the coast. Its setting offers a sense of separation from the coastal strip without requiring a lengthy journey for everyday shopping, schools or beaches.
Typical approximate driving times, depending on traffic, include:
- San Pedro de Alcántara — around 5–7 minutes
- Puerto Banús — approximately 12–15 minutes
- Marbella centre — around 20 minutes
- Benahavís Village — roughly 10 minutes
- Málaga Airport — typically 45–50 minutes
San Pedro provides supermarkets, restaurants, medical services and beach access, while Benahavís Village is convenient for dining and enjoying a more traditional Andalusian atmosphere.
For families, Atalaya International College is a relatively short drive away, while CEIP Daidín in Benahavís Village provides a local public primary-school option. Other international schools around San Pedro and Nueva Andalucía can also be considered according to each family's needs.
Buyers researching Capanes del Golf in Benahavís often prioritise this combination of security, facilities and manageable school journeys over properties in more remote hillside locations.
Community facilities & atmosphere
The communal facilities are among the strongest reasons to consider Capanes del Golf. The development is known for its extensive landscaped gardens, multiple outdoor swimming pools and an indoor wellness complex.
Facilities commonly associated with the community include:
- Several outdoor swimming pools set among mature gardens
- Heated indoor swimming pool
- Gymnasium and fitness facilities
- Spa area with sauna and Turkish bath
- Gated access and 24-hour security
- Low-rise residential buildings surrounded by landscaped communal areas
These amenities are particularly attractive to full-time residents and owners spending extended periods in Spain. The indoor pool and wellness facilities provide additional options beyond the outdoor swimming season, although specific operating arrangements should always be checked.
The scale of the gardens also helps create privacy between buildings and gives Capanes a more established feel than many compact contemporary developments.
When comparing apartments, we recommend reviewing the latest community fees, any planned major works and the precise facilities available to residents.
Apartments for sale in Capanes del Golf: design & views
Apartments in Capanes del Golf are known for generous internal proportions and substantial terraces. Many properties offer comfortable living and dining spaces, functional kitchens and layouts designed for everyday use rather than simply short holiday stays.
Depending on position, homes may overlook landscaped gardens, the golf course or surrounding hills. Higher-floor apartments and penthouses can offer wider views, while some ground-floor properties benefit from private garden areas.
The development's architecture is more traditional than many recent Costa del Sol projects. For some buyers, this is a positive: the focus is on space, practical room sizes, established landscaping and usable outdoor areas.
Features such as underfloor heating in bathrooms are found in many apartments, although specifications and subsequent renovations vary by property.
Terrace orientation, privacy, natural light and proximity to communal facilities can make a considerable difference between otherwise similar apartments. We therefore recommend comparing individual buildings and positions rather than judging the development solely by bedroom count or advertised floor area.
Golf & outdoor lifestyle
Capanes del Golf sits beside El Higueral Golf, making the community particularly appealing to buyers who enjoy regular golf without necessarily wanting to live within a fully private golf estate.
La Quinta Golf and Los Arqueros Golf are also within easy driving distance, providing a choice of courses around the Benahavís and Marbella area.
The surrounding hillsides and quieter residential roads add opportunities for outdoor activity, while the beaches and coastal promenade around San Pedro are only a short drive away.

Who Capanes del Golf suits best
Capanes del Golf is particularly well suited to buyers who want secure apartment living without sacrificing internal space, outdoor areas or leisure facilities.
Full-time residents benefit from the established community, nearby services and year-round amenities. Relocating families may appreciate the security, garden space and access to schools, while second-home owners often value the convenience of a managed development.
Golf enthusiasts are naturally attracted by the proximity to El Higueral and other local courses. However, Capanes is not exclusively a golfing community; its broader appeal lies in the combination of practical location, spacious apartments and extensive facilities.
Buyers looking for a detached villa, large private plot or cutting-edge contemporary architecture may prefer another development. Those prioritising apartment space and established communal infrastructure should give Capanes serious consideration.
Property prices in Capanes del Golf, Benahavís
As an established, facility-rich community, Capanes del Golf occupies the mid-to-upper segment of the Benahavís apartment market. Asking prices depend on floor level, size, renovation standard, terrace orientation and views.
As broad indicative guidance, rather than verified current minimum asking prices:
- Two-bedroom apartments: Often starting in the €500,000s, depending on specification and availability.
- Three-bedroom apartments: Generally from the mid-€600,000s upwards, with premiums for larger terraces, views and renovations.
- Penthouses: Typically command higher asking prices, particularly where outdoor space and open outlooks are exceptional.
Compared with some newer boutique developments, Capanes can offer attractive internal space and substantial communal infrastructure relative to the asking price. However, buyers should also factor in ongoing community costs and the condition of individual apartments.
We can help compare available properties, explain differences between buildings and assess whether an asking price reflects the apartment's position and specification.
Investment & resale appeal
Capanes benefits from an established identity and a relatively clear residential proposition. Buyers know they are considering a mature gated community with landscaped gardens, leisure facilities and convenient access to San Pedro, golf and schools.
Well-positioned apartments with generous terraces, attractive views and modernised interiors may be particularly appealing on resale. However, individual performance depends on purchase price, property condition, market conditions and the wider selection available at the time.
For purchasers considering rental use, it is important to confirm community statutes, current licensing requirements and the suitability of the specific apartment. Holiday letting permission should not be assumed.
The development's strongest long-term attraction is its practical combination of space, security, mature surroundings and year-round facilities rather than reliance on any single buyer segment.
