Explore secure, well-managed urbanisations in Benahavís where you can enjoy privacy, landscaped surroundings and easy access to golf, schools and the coast. This collection focuses on homes in gated communities with controlled access and a strong sense of neighbourhood.

About this collection


Here you’ll find apartments, townhouses and villas within gated communities that offer extra peace of mind. Many include 24-hour security, on-site reception or patrols, plus shared pools, landscaped gardens and, in some cases, clubhouses or sports facilities. It’s an ideal starting point if you want a “lock-up-and-leave” home or simply prefer defined entrances and controlled access.

Popular gated communities

  • La Zagaleta — ultra-private estates with strict access control and on-site services.
  • El Madronal — private, wooded hillside setting with gated entrances and large plots.
  • Los Arqueros — golf community with several gated phases and family-friendly facilities.
  • La Quinta — a mix of gated apartment complexes and villa streets with elevated views.
  • Los Flamingos — resort-style environment with golf, hotel services and security.

FAQs

Are all homes here in fully gated communities?
Most properties in this collection sit behind gates or in controlled-access complexes. We’ll clarify the exact security arrangements, entrance points and on-site services for each community.

Is 24-hour security standard?
Some communities offer 24-hour manned security or patrols; others use gated access with cameras and coded entrances. Tell us how important round-the-clock security is and we’ll prioritise suitable options.

Can I still rent out my home in a gated community?
Holiday letting depends on community rules and local regulations. We’ll check whether short-term rentals are allowed and what type of rental licence is required before you proceed.

Do community fees tend to be higher?
Fees generally reflect security level, facilities and plot size. Gated estates with extensive amenities usually cost more, but the services provided can be significant. We’ll share typical ranges per development.

Which areas suit year-round living vs holiday use?
Some gated communities are very residential; others feel more resort-like. Let us know whether you’re planning full-time living, holidays or a mix and we’ll highlight the best-fitting neighbourhoods.
