Andalucia, Malaga, Benahavis, Spain

Spectacular frontline golf villa in Los Flamingos, one of Benahavís’ most prestigious and sought-after gated golf communities. It overlooks the fairways of the renowned Villa Padierna Golf Club and enjoys good sea views down one of the resort’s beautiful golf valleys. With 816 m² of built space, 260 m² of terraces and a landscaped plot of 1,997 m², it offers considerably more living space than most homes in the community at this price level, presenting an exceptional combination of scale, quality and location.

The villa is approached through a formal entrance courtyard laid in stone setts and arranged around a sculptural standing stone, framed by clipped hedging, palms and slender cypress trees. The architecture draws on classic Andalusian proportions, with white rendered façades, terracotta-tiled roofs and an elegant arched timber porch, while the interiors have been finished in a refined, contemporary style.

The impressive double-height entrance hall, lit by a large skylight, immediately conveys the scale of the residence. It features cream marble floors, a stone staircase and a glass lift serving all three levels. The principal reception rooms extend across the main floor, where a double-sided fireplace set within a sculpted chimney wall separates the spacious living room from the formal dining area. Wide sliding doors open onto terraces overlooking the garden and golf course, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen sits beneath a vaulted ceiling and is fitted with Gaggenau appliances, bespoke Italian cabinetry in warm timber and white, and a substantial island with a dark engineered stone worktop and seating for informal meals.

The six bedroom suites are all of generous proportions, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and several of the upper-floor bedrooms enjoy vaulted ceilings and access to terraces. The principal suite is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe finished in dark timber, its own terrace, and a bathroom with a freestanding bath and twin vanities. The bathrooms throughout have a distinctive character, combining Gessi fittings with bold large-format Italian porcelain in marble and stone finishes. A separate study provides an ideal home office and could serve as a seventh bedroom, while two guest cloakrooms serve the reception areas. The layout lends itself perfectly to family life, while the number of suites and reception rooms also gives a couple ample space to host visiting family and friends, or to set rooms aside for work and personal interests.

The lower level opens directly onto the pool terrace and garden, so it enjoys natural light and has none of the feeling of a basement. Alongside two of the bedroom suites, it is largely dedicated to leisure and entertainment. A spacious lounge with its own fully equipped kitchen faces the pool and opens straight onto the terrace, serving as both a pool kitchen and a games room, with ample space for a full-size pool table. This level also includes a cinema room lined with timber slats, a fully equipped gym with large windows onto the garden, a Turkish bath, a glass-fronted wine room and a laundry. It works equally well as a self-contained floor for guests or as a space where older children can enjoy their own independence.

The garden is laid mainly to lawn and extends to the edge of the golf course. A long heated saltwater pool with an overflow edge runs alongside it, complemented by a covered pergola for outdoor dining and lounging, already fitted with connections for an outdoor kitchen. Terraces on the upper floors, finished with glass balustrades, offer far-reaching views across the fairways towards the sea, and a planted stone stairway connects the different levels of the garden. A courtyard terrace shaded by palms and an olive tree provides a second outdoor dining area. The property also includes a garage.

The villa has been recently renovated to a high standard and is offered fully furnished. Aerothermal heating, solar panels, a home automation system and underfloor heating in the bathrooms contribute to both comfort and energy efficiency.

Los Flamingos is ideally located within easy reach of Puerto Banús, Marbella and Estepona. The five-star Anantara Villa Padierna Palace hotel, the Villa Padierna golf courses, leading international schools, fine restaurants and everyday amenities are all close by. For the discerning buyer seeking a frontline golf residence with an exceptional amount of living space for its price, this family home represents an outstanding opportunity in one of the Costa del Sol’s most desireable and established communities.
