Exquisite 4 Bedroom Detached Villa For Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

Interior Layout

Villa Aratina has been fully renovated while preserving the warmth and personality of its Andalusian architecture. The result is a home with character, comfort and a strong sense of retreat.

The entrance level opens into a high-ceilinged hall with staircases leading to the upper and lower floors. From here, the layout flows into a cosy living room, separate office, guest toilet and a bright dining room connected to a state-of-the-art fully fitted kitchen.

The living and dining areas open directly to the covered terrace, drawing the sea views and pool area into the main living experience. High wooden ceilings, a fireplace and natural materials add warmth, while modern finishes keep the interiors refined and practical.

The upper floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite. It includes an en-suite bathroom with bathtub and shower, a large walk-in wardrobe and a private terrace with open sea and nature views.

On the lower level, two guest bedrooms each include an en-suite bathroom. In addition, a fourth double bedroom has access to an independent bathroom, giving the home flexible accommodation for family and guests.

Comfort has been carefully considered throughout the house. All bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and air conditioning for cooling and heating, while underfloor heating with separate controls serves the whole property.

Beneath the house, an extensive basement provides further potential. It could be adapted into a gym, games room, wine cellar or another lifestyle space, subject to the buyer’s preferred use.

Terraces and Views at this Detached Villa for sale in El Madronal Benahavis

The outdoor areas give Villa Aratina much of its lifestyle appeal. From the living and dining spaces, the covered terrace opens towards the pool, forest surroundings and panoramic Mediterranean views.

The heated saltwater swimming pool is designed as a true centrepiece. It is framed by a generous solarium, sun-lounging areas and a covered chill-out zone with outdoor kitchen, barbecue corner, dining space and bathroom.

This makes the villa especially well suited to entertaining. Moreover, the southeast orientation brings beautiful morning and daytime light, with views reaching across the sea, mountains, countryside, gardens, pool and forest.

Access and parking are also practical. The formal entrance includes an automated metal gate and parking for at least one large car, while a second larger gate opens to a spacious courtyard and enclosed garage or pool house. The courtyard provides parking for several additional vehicles.

The plot of 1,780 m² offers privacy without demanding an overly large estate to maintain. In addition, the easy-maintenance garden, photovoltaic solar panels and upgraded finishes support comfortable year-round ownership.

Community & Location

El Madronal is one of Benahavis’ most exclusive gated hillside communities, valued for its mature natural setting, privacy and 24-hour security. It offers a peaceful countryside atmosphere while remaining close to the coast.

The villa is only a short drive from San Pedro, Puerto Banus and Marbella, giving convenient access to restaurants, beaches, international schools, golf and everyday services. Therefore, it works well as either a full-time residence or a secure second home.

The setting feels rural and calm, with forest aromas, wildlife and open views contributing to the sense of retreat. However, the location remains practical, with the amenities of the lower coast close enough for daily use.

For buyers seeking an Andalusian-style villa with personality, privacy and modern comfort, Villa Aratina offers a distinctive alternative to more conventional contemporary homes.
