Andalucia, Malaga, Benahavis, Spain

This contemporary villa for sale in La Alqueria, Benahavis has been fully updated to a high standard and is set within a gated residential community with 24-hour security, just a short drive from Marbella and the coastline. The property brings together clean, modern living spaces with a more curated interior approach, shaped around both natural light and a strong connection to the outdoor areas.

The main living level is arranged as a series of connected spaces, where the kitchen, dining area and lounge flow together with ease. The kitchen is fully fitted with Miele appliances and forms a central part of the layout, finished in a warm combination of natural-toned cabinetry and light stone surfaces that reflect the overall material palette of the interiors. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors allow natural light to move through the space throughout the day, while opening directly onto the terraces and reinforcing the connection between interior and exterior living. Subtle, integrated lighting adds depth and atmosphere beyond daylight hours.

The villa features four bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, along with a guest toilet. The bedrooms are well proportioned and arranged to offer both comfort and a degree of separation, with a consistent contemporary finish throughout. Bathrooms are designed with a focus on texture and detail, incorporating walk-in showers, statement stone elements and clean-lined fittings. The upper level opens onto a private terrace with partial sea views, introducing a more private outdoor space that complements the main living areas.

The garden is landscaped and arranged around a private swimming pool, with clearly defined areas for dining, relaxing and entertaining. A covered terrace with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue sits alongside the main living areas, creating a practical extension of the interior, while more informal lounge areas provide flexibility throughout the day. Features such as air conditioning with heating, underfloor heating in the bedrooms and bathrooms, a carport with space for three vehicles and ample storage further support everyday comfort.

This part of Benahavis is known for its open surroundings, more natural landscape and proximity to a number of golf courses. Marbella, the coastline and a wide range of amenities are all within easy reach, while the environment remains quieter and more residential. The location is also well suited to family living, with a selection of international schools and everyday services within a short drive, adding to its practicality for year-round use.

With its carefully executed refurbishment, considered material palette and strong relationship between interior and exterior spaces, this villa in Benahavis presents a refined take on contemporary Mediterranean luxury, equally suited to full-time living, as a second home or as a property with long-term appeal.
