Villa in Benahavis

Hidden high above the coastline, surrounded by olive trees, pine forests, and endless views of the Mediterranean, Villa Esencia is a home created for those searching for privacy, calm, and understated luxury.

Located within the exclusive gated community of El Madroñal in Benahavís, this six-bedroom estate sits on nearly 5,000 m² of land, offering a rare sense of space and connection to nature while remaining just minutes from Marbella, golf courses, and the coast.

Originally built with classic Andalusian architecture and carefully updated over time, the villa combines warmth and character with a relaxed contemporary style. Natural light flows through every level of the home, opening onto expansive terraces that frame panoramic sea and mountain views from sunrise to sunset.

The main living spaces are designed with effortless indoor-outdoor living in mind. A modern kitchen with Siemens appliances connects seamlessly to the dining and lounge areas, while large sliding doors open directly onto the terraces and pool area. Every space feels inviting, comfortable, and intentionally unpretentious, luxury without excess.

The property offers six bedrooms and five bathrooms, four of them en suite, alongside a separate guest house and an independent staff apartment. The layout creates flexibility for entertaining, hosting family and friends, or simply enjoying private spaces throughout the home. Inside, refined boho-inspired interiors blend natural textures, earthy tones, and timeless materials that complement the surrounding landscape.

Outside, the atmosphere is entirely serene. Multiple terraces create different moments throughout the day, quiet morning coffee overlooking the sea, long lunches by the pool, or evenings immersed in complete silence under the Andalusian sky. Absolute privacy defines the experience.

El Madroñal is one of the Costa del Sol’s most sought-after residential communities, known for its security, large estates, and natural beauty. Living here offers a unique balance: peaceful mountain living with immediate access to world-class golf, international schools, fine dining, hiking trails, and the lifestyle of Marbella and Benahavís.

Villa Esencia is more than a villa, it is a place designed to disconnect from noise and reconnect with what matters most.
