Top-Floor Penthouse with Tourist Licence in Benahavís Village
This refurbished penthouse is a property for sale in Benahavís Village, Benahavis, set within a traditional Andalusian-style community just steps from the village centre. Positioned on the top floor with only one flight of stairs, the home combines walkable village living with rare features such as a private underground garage, communal pool and a valid tourist licence.
Property Highlights
- Three-bedroom top-floor penthouse in Benahavís Village
- Valid tourist rental licence (VFT)
- Private terrace with mountain, village and partial sea views
- Private underground garage — rare in the village centre
- Peaceful community with gardens and communal pool
Interior Description
The penthouse has been thoughtfully refurbished to enhance light, flow and everyday comfort. The open-plan living and dining area connects directly to the terrace, creating a natural extension of the living space and making the most of the elevated position.
The layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and direct terrace access. Two further bedrooms enjoy garden and mountain views, while the overall atmosphere remains bright and calm throughout the home.
Terrace & Views
The private terrace is ideally suited for outdoor dining and relaxed entertaining. From here, views extend across the surrounding mountains, green hills and village rooftops, with partial sea views in the distance. Moreover, the elevated top-floor position enhances privacy and outlook without the need for multiple staircases.
Community & Location
The community reflects classic Andalusian character, with mature gardens, terracotta walkways and a communal swimming pool overlooking the village church. However, despite the tranquil setting, the property is only moments from the Town Hall, plazas, shops, cafés and Benahavís’ renowned restaurants.
This balance of charm, convenience and accessibility is particularly rare within the historic village centre.

FAQs
- How much are the total purchase costs?
As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly ~10% on a resale property (7% ITP plus approximately 3% for legal, notary and registry fees). On a purchase price of €359,900, this means allowing around €36,000 for taxes and costs, giving an estimated total budget in the region of €395,900. In GBP and USD terms, that is approximately £31,400 / $42,600 in costs, and a total budget of around £345,000 / $468,000 (based on recent ECB reference rates). We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer.
- Is holiday letting allowed?
Yes. The property holds a valid tourist rental licence (VFT). Holiday letting remains subject to community statutes and local regulations, which we’ll reconfirm during due diligence.
- What parking is included?
The property includes a private underground garage, a rare feature within the village centre.
- Is the village walkable?
Yes. Restaurants, cafés, shops and plazas are all within a short walk, making a car optional for daily living.
- Is this suitable for full-time living?
Yes. The layout, condition and central yet peaceful setting support year-round living as well as holiday use.
