El Madronal, Málaga, Andalusia, Spain

An individual five-bedroom Mediterranean villa with a private pool, panoramic views and exceptional outdoor living, set within approximately 3000 m² of mature gardens.
Set amid the pine-clad hills of El Madroñal combines timeless Andalusian character with bright contemporary interiors and a wonderfully private natural setting.
Occupying a substantial plot of approximately 3,000 m², the villa offers around 370 m² of built accommodation. Whitewashed elevations, traditional terracotta roof tiles and distinctive turquoise shutters are framed by mature olive trees, palms, bougainvillea and established subtropical planting.
Inside, the accommodation is arranged around light-filled living spaces with clean architectural lines and a confident, individual style. The contemporary kitchen features extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island with informal seating. It connects naturally with a glazed dining room, where multiple doors open onto the surrounding terraces and gardens.
The property provides five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The generous principal bedroom includes a fitted dressing room, en-suite bathroom and direct access to a private terrace. The remaining accommodation offers excellent flexibility for family members and visiting guests.
Outdoor living is central to the property. A choice of elevated dining and relaxation terraces creates inviting spaces for entertaining, enjoying the sunshine and taking in the peaceful surroundings. A dedicated outdoor kitchen and traditional built-in barbecue provide the perfect setting for long summer lunches and evenings beneath the Andalusian sky.
The private swimming pool is surrounded by lush planting and mature trees, creating an exceptionally secluded garden retreat. From the upper terraces, far-reaching views extend across the wooded valley towards the mountains and distant coastline.
An expansive private driveway provides generous off-road parking and an impressive sense of arrival. Peaceful and private while remaining within convenient reach of Benahavís, Marbella and the coast, Villa Mandalay is a home of genuine personality ideal for year-round living, memorable family holidays and relaxed Mediterranean entertaining.
