Exceptional 7 Bedroom Villa For Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

Interior Layout

A long cobbled driveway lined with cypress trees leads through wrought-iron gates to the main entrance. Inside, an antique wooden door opens into a dramatic entrance hall with a high ceiling, feature staircase and open fireplace. At the centre of the house, an internal courtyard with a fountain brings light and traditional Andalusian character into the surrounding living spaces.

Multiple lounge and reception areas create considerable flexibility for family life and entertaining. A country-style, partially fitted kitchen connects with a covered patio, family room and dining area, while the principal living spaces open directly towards the terraces, pool and gardens. Marble and wooden flooring, air conditioning, underfloor heating, fireplaces and double glazing support comfortable year-round use.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged to provide privacy between family and guests. Three bedrooms occupy one wing with access to the courtyard and private terraces, while a further guest suite sits within the tower. The upper floor is dedicated to the principal suite, with its own lounge and fireplace, a large walk-in wardrobe, spa-style bathroom and private terrace overlooking the surrounding hills and Mediterranean.

The lower level focuses on wellness and entertainment. It includes a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, gym, massage area, games and lounge spaces, cinema room, bar and wine cellar. Additional guest accommodation is complemented by a separate apartment with its own living area, dining space, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, providing useful independence for visitors or staff.

Terrace & Views at this Villa for sale in El Madronal Benahavis

Around 200 m² of terraces extend the living areas into the private gardens. Covered and open spaces provide several settings for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing beside the swimming pool, while the southwest orientation makes the most of afternoon light and sunsets.

The elevated position provides panoramic views across the Mediterranean, surrounding mountains and countryside, together with outlooks over the garden and pool. On clear days, the coastal panorama extends towards Gibraltar and the mountains of North Africa.

Community & Location

El Madronal is an established gated residential enclave above the coast, valued for substantial private plots, mature natural surroundings and a high degree of privacy. The villa's 5,438 m² plot reinforces that sense of space while remaining conveniently positioned for the wider Marbella and Benahavis area.

Marbella, Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía's Golf Valley are all accessible by car, while several renowned golf courses, international schools, restaurants and beaches lie within the wider area. The property is also well placed for journeys towards both Málaga and Gibraltar airports.
