Andalucia, Malaga, Benahavis, Spain

Perched on the crown of Herrojo Alto, with sweeping panoramic views across the Mediterranean and the mountains, Casa Orquídea is an extraordinary estate.

As you wind your way through the lush, private roads of the secure gated community, the driveway unfolds before you — broad, landscaped, gated — leading to the grand entrance of this modern yet naturally grounded mansion. Natural materials, clean lines, and generous glazed surfaces combine to make a striking first impression.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a luminous foyer, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that capture both sea and sky. Light floods the space, and views are everywhere.

On the main level, the living area opens into a relaxed lounge centred around a fireplace, seamlessly flowing into a formal dining room and a premium open-kitchen. There is also a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, ideal for al fresco entertaining or simply savouring the climate. Two guest suites with ensuite bathrooms are also located on this floor.

Ascending the statement staircase (or using the private lift), the first floor hosts three sumptuous ensuite bedrooms, including the master suite, over 70 m², complete with walk-in closet, private terrace, jacuzzi, and a spa-calibre bathroom.

Below, the lower level stretches over nearly 800 m² of leisure and wellness spaces. Large windows continue the theme of light and vista, bringing the outdoors in. This level accommodates multiple lounges for entertainment or relaxation, a cinema, a full gym, a spa with pool and jacuzzi, plus three further ensuite bedrooms one with a private entrance and kitchenette, ideal for staff or guests. There is also a garage with space for eight vehicles.
