About the Property
Set within the elevated residential area of Paraíso Alto in Benahavís, this character-filled villa combines traditional Andalusian charm with spacious family living and open sea views. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac above El Paraíso Golf, the property enjoys privacy, natural surroundings and convenient access to Marbella, Estepona and the coastline.
Occupying a generous 1,600m² plot, the villa has been designed around warmth, comfort and connection to the outdoors. The main living spaces are bright and welcoming, with large Roman Clavero windows and doors framing the terraces and allowing natural light to move throughout the home. A vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams introduces architectural character and reinforces the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere.
At the centre of the home, the open-plan kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for both family life and entertaining, featuring two central islands, a utility room and direct access to the terraces and garden. The adjoining living and dining areas are generous in scale yet intimate in feel, enhanced by two fireplaces including a striking double-sided feature that subtly divides the spaces while maintaining openness and flow.
The upper floor is entirely dedicated to the principal suite, creating a private retreat within the home. This level includes a walk-in wardrobe, en suite bathroom, fireplace, private balcony with sea views and a separate home office, offering both comfort and functionality for modern living.
On the lower level, three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms provide accommodation for family and guests, alongside a versatile laundry and storage space. An independent guest apartment with direct garden access adds flexibility and privacy, ideal for extended stays or visiting guests. Additional attic storage offers further potential for conversion depending on lifestyle requirements.
The outdoor areas have been carefully arranged to maximise both sun exposure and shaded relaxation throughout the day. Mature landscaped gardens with fruit trees surround the property, while multiple terraces and covered lounge areas create a variety of spaces for entertaining or quiet retreat. A generously sized swimming pool sits at the centre of the garden, positioned to enjoy the villa’s south-west orientation and evening light.
Paraíso Alto is one of Benahavís’ most established residential areas, appreciated for its peaceful atmosphere, elevated positioning and proximity to golf courses, international schools and essential amenities. The beaches of Estepona and Marbella, along with Puerto Banús and a wide range of dining and leisure options, are all within easy reach via the AP-7 and coastal road network.
This is a home defined by authenticity, quality craftsmanship and a highly liveable layout. Combining panoramic views, architectural character and flexible family accommodation, it offers a refined interpretation of Mediterranean hillside living in one of the Costa del Sol’s most enduring residential settings.
