Traditional Andalusian Villa with Panoramic Views in Los Almendros
This charming Andalusian villa for sale in Los Almendros, Benahavís, is nestled within the exclusive enclave of Puerto de Los Almendros, surrounded by nature yet just minutes from San Pedro, schools and supermarkets. Lovingly owned by the same family for over four decades, the property offers privacy, open space and beautiful southwest-facing panoramic views across the coastline, together with independent guest accommodation.
Property Highlights
- 5-bedroom detached villa on a 1,142 m² plot
- Southwest orientation with panoramic coastal views
- Independent 2-bedroom guest house
- Private pool with pergola and BBQ area
- Garage plus driveway parking for 4–5 cars
- Authentic Andalusian architectural features
- Refurbishment potential in a rarely available location
Interior Description
Built in 1982, the villa reflects traditional Andalusian architecture, featuring terracotta tiled roofing, marble flooring, authentic wall tiles, a large double-sided fireplace and an impressive double wooden entrance door. The home offers warmth and character throughout, while presenting an exciting opportunity for sympathetic refurbishment to carry it forward for the next generation.
The main house is arranged over two levels. The entrance hall, centred around an oversized double-aspect fireplace, leads to a sunken sitting room with multiple terrace doors opening directly onto the pool and garden. The kitchen connects conveniently to the covered terrace and garage, while two spacious ground-floor bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom and enjoy independent access to the gardens.
Upstairs, a generous master suite occupies a private position, complete with en-suite bathroom, ample wardrobe space and its own terrace overlooking the coastline.
Guest Accommodation & Flexibility
At the end of the garden sits an independent two-bedroom guest house with kitchenette, bathroom and private terrace. This additional accommodation significantly enhances the property's flexibility — ideal for teenagers, extended family, guests or staff.
Furthermore, it creates genuine rental potential for buyers seeking a holiday home with income opportunities.
Gardens, Pool & Outdoor Living
The landscaped gardens are easy to maintain and dotted with olive trees, cypress and vibrant bougainvillea, reinforcing the Mediterranean atmosphere. The west-facing pool area includes a pergola with BBQ zone and covered terrace, all overlooking the lawn and gardens — a peaceful setting for entertaining or enjoying sunset views.
The driveway and stone approach add character, while the garage provides direct access to the kitchen for everyday practicality.
Community & Location
Puerto de Los Almendros is one of Benahavís’ most established residential enclaves, valued for its privacy and elevated positioning. Despite its tranquil setting, San Pedro town is just over five minutes away, with supermarkets even closer. Marbella, Puerto Banús and several beaches are within easy reach, while Málaga Airport is approximately 45 minutes by car.
This balance between nature and accessibility makes Los Almendros consistently attractive to families and long-term residents.

FAQs
- How much are the total purchase costs?
As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly ~10% on a resale property (7% ITP + approx. 3% total for solicitor, notary and registry fees). On a purchase price of €1,475,000 this means allowing around €147,500 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €1,622,500. That is approximately £129,000 / $173,500 in costs and a total budget of about £1,418,000 / $1,735,000. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer. - Is holiday letting allowed?
Holiday letting depends on local regulations and licensing requirements. We’ll confirm the latest position for Puerto de Los Almendros. - What parking is included?
The property includes a private garage with direct access to the kitchen and driveway parking for approximately 4–5 additional vehicles. - Is the property in walking distance to amenities?
Supermarkets are under five minutes away by car, while San Pedro town is just over five minutes. Marbella and Puerto Banús are easily reached within a short drive. - Does the villa require renovation?
The home retains its original Andalusian charm and would benefit from modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity to personalise and enhance long-term value.
