El Madronal, Málaga, Andalusia, Spain

Set within the exclusive hillside enclave of El Madroñal in Benahavís, this contemporary five-bedroom villa offers 715 m² of built space on a 5,000 m² plot, with 453 m² of terraces and uninterrupted panoramic views towards the Mediterranean . Completed in 2020 and partially integrated into the mountain, the architecture combines clean modern lines with natural stone, creating a naturally climate-controlled environment enhanced by underfloor heating throughout and a comprehensive smart home system.
The layout is arranged over three levels with a clear separation between private and social areas. The ground floor unfolds around formal and informal living spaces, a dining area and a fully fitted kitchen, all framed by expansive glazing that connects seamlessly to the terraces and the heated sea salt infinity pool. A wine cellar and a guest suite complete this level, allowing entertaining to flow effortlessly from indoors to out.
The first floor is dedicated to the main sleeping quarters, where the master suite enjoys its own domain with dressing room and library, alongside an additional guest ensuite. Each bedroom is designed to maximise light, privacy and views. A guest cloakroom serves the main living areas.
On the lower level, a private garage and a separate home office provide practical functionality for modern living, offering space to work from home without compromising the tranquillity of the main residence.
Outdoor living is a defining feature. Expansive terraces, landscaped gardens and a fully equipped professional outdoor gym with boxing ring create a private resort atmosphere, while the infinity pool frames sweeping views across the mountains and coastline. The south-west orientation ensures long hours of natural light and spectacular sunsets.
Located within a gated community with armed security and rapid response, a rare feature in Spain, the property offers exceptional privacy and peace of mind. El Madroñal is known for its large plots, discretion and natural surroundings, yet it remains just a short drive from the beaches of San Pedro, the dining and boutiques of Puerto Banús, several international schools and renowned golf courses such as Los Arqueros and La Quinta. This setting delivers the balance many buyers seek: mountain serenity with immediate access to the Costa del Sol lifestyle.
