This 6-bedroom El Madronal villa for sale in Benahavis combines classic Andalusian character with updated interiors, wide Mediterranean views and a substantial 4,795 m² plot in one of the Costa del Sol’s most exclusive gated communities. Moreover, its elevated setting in El Madronal delivers privacy, tranquillity and a strong sense of arrival while still keeping you within easy reach of San Pedro, Marbella and key golf clubs.

- 6 bedrooms | 5 bathrooms | Separate maid apartment and guest house
- Panoramic sea and mountain views from multiple levels and terraces
- Private pool, mature gardens and several outdoor relaxation and dining areas
- Gated El Madronal community with 24-hour security and easy access to golf and amenities
Interior Description
Inside, the villa feels warm and inviting from the first step into the entrance hall, where double-height volume, a fireplace and natural light set a refined yet relaxed tone. The main living level centres on a generous lounge and dining area that opens directly towards the terrace and pool, creating a natural flow for everyday life and entertaining. A modern, fully fitted kitchen with Siemens appliances sits alongside the dining space, keeping cooking practical while still feeling social. On this floor you also find the principal suite and an additional bedroom, each with its own bathroom, so guests can enjoy privacy close to the main living areas. Upstairs, further bedroom suites continue the sense of space and comfort, with elevated outlooks over the valley and sea. Meanwhile, the lower level incorporates a separate maid apartment, ideal for live-in support or long-stay guests, and there is an additional guest house positioned above the garage that offers its own sense of independence.
Terrace & Views
Outdoor space is a major highlight of this El Madronal home. Terraces on several levels provide different zones for dining, lounging and quiet reading, so everyone can find a favourite spot. From many of these areas you enjoy broad views that stretch across emerald-green hillsides, the Los Arqueros golf valley and the Mediterranean Sea towards Africa on a clear day. The main terrace flows down to a standard-sized pool set within lawn and planting, which becomes the natural gathering point on long, warm days. Additionally, the extensive plot helps the views feel protected and open, reinforcing the sense that you are in a private hillside retreat rather than a typical suburban street.
Community & Amenities
El Madronal is one of Benahavís’ most prestigious gated communities, known for its large plots, pine-covered ridges and low-density layout. Residents benefit from 24-hour security, controlled access and a calm atmosphere that suits full-time living as well as discreet holiday use. Yet, despite the seclusion, you are only a short drive from everyday amenities in San Pedro de Alcántara, the restaurants and artisan services of nearby La Heredia and the beaches and marina of Puerto Banús. Furthermore, several renowned golf courses, including Los Arqueros and La Quinta, sit within easy reach, which makes this an attractive choice for keen players.

FAQs
- What will the total purchase cost be after taxes and fees?
For a resale home in Andalucía, you should allow roughly 10% on top of the asking price (7% ITP plus around 3% for solicitor, notary and registry). On a price of €3,295,000, that means budgeting about €330,000 in costs and a total in the region of €3,625,000. For a clearer breakdown, see our Purchase Costs in Andalucía guide. - What parking and storage are included?
The villa includes a private garage for one car, a covered carport for two more vehicles and additional open parking on the driveway. This arrangement works well for family use, visiting guests and any service vehicles that may need regular access. - What community facilities and security does El Madronal offer?
El Madronal is a low-density gated community with 24-hour security and controlled access points rather than shared pools or clubhouses. This setup prioritises privacy, quiet streets and a strong sense of safety while leaving each home to enjoy its own gardens and pool. - How close are shops, restaurants and the beach?
Everyday services and supermarkets in San Pedro de Alcántara are only a short drive away, and the cafés, bakery and restaurants in La Heredia sit even closer. Meanwhile, beaches, beach clubs and the marina at Puerto Banús or Marbella can usually be reached within a comfortable drive via the main coastal roads. - Is this villa suitable as a full-time residence or mainly a holiday home?
The combination of generous interior space, staff accommodation and extensive grounds makes it very suitable for full-time living. However, the secure, gated setting and lock-up-and-leave practicality also mean it works equally well as a high-end second home.
