Renovated 4 Bedroom Villa For Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

Interior Description

Villa Aratina is arranged across three levels, with a layout that separates its principal living areas from the private bedroom accommodation. The entrance opens through a high-ceilinged hall, where staircases connect the upper and lower floors.

On the main level, a welcoming living room provides a comfortable setting for quiet evenings and informal gatherings. A separate office offers privacy for working from home, while a guest cloakroom completes this side of the floor.

The bright dining area connects naturally with a contemporary, fully equipped kitchen. Together, these rooms create a sociable heart to the home, while direct terrace access draws the sea views and natural surroundings into the interior.

The upper floor is reserved for the principal bedroom suite. It includes a generous walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower, and a private terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and surrounding countryside.

On the lower floor, two guest bedrooms have private en-suite bathrooms. A fourth double bedroom is served by an independent bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for family members or visitors.

All bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and hot and cold air conditioning. In addition, underfloor heating with separate controls throughout the house allows each area to be managed independently.

Beneath the villa, a substantial unfinished basement introduces further flexibility. Depending on the buyer’s needs and the relevant approvals, it could become a gym, games room, wine cellar, cinema or private wellness area.

Terraces and Views at this Villa for Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

The outdoor areas have been designed as a private Mediterranean retreat. At their centre is a heated saltwater swimming pool surrounded by a broad solarium with space for sunbathing, relaxing and entertaining.

Beside the pool, a covered chill-out pavilion creates a fully equipped outdoor living environment. It includes a kitchen, barbecue corner, dining area and bathroom, allowing long lunches and evening gatherings to unfold away from the main house.

Terraces extend directly from the living and dining rooms, creating a smooth transition between the interior and garden. From here, the outlook opens towards the Mediterranean, with sunrise views appearing beyond the surrounding woodland.

The 1,780 m² plot also provides mature natural surroundings and a sense of separation from neighbouring homes. Therefore, the exterior balances space for entertaining with the privacy expected from an established El Madronal residence.

Community & Location

El Madronal is an established gated country estate in the hills of Benahavis. It is known for substantial private plots, wooded surroundings and elevated villas with open views towards the coast and mountains.

Villa Aratina has two gated vehicle entrances. The formal upper entrance provides parking beside a paved walkway leading to the main hall, while a second gate opens into a larger courtyard.

The courtyard offers parking for at least six vehicles and connects with an enclosed garage and pool house. As a result, the villa is well equipped for owners who entertain regularly or maintain several cars.

Despite its peaceful countryside atmosphere, the property remains within practical driving distance of San Pedro, Puerto Banús and Marbella. Beaches, golf courses, restaurants, international schools and everyday services are also accessible from the estate.
