Some homes meet a need, while others express a way of being in the world. This contemporary villa in Monte Mayor clearly belongs to the latter category. Conceived as an architectural retreat in the heart of nature<\/strong>, it combines clean lines, extraordinary natural light, absolute privacy, and an uninterrupted connection with the landscape. Located in Monte Mayor<\/a>, one of the most exclusive private communities in Benahav\u00eds<\/strong>, just 15 minutes from the beach and about 20 minutes from Marbella\u2019s town center, this property offers the rare balance of seclusion, sophistication, and connection to the international lifestyle of the Costa del Sol. Set on a 2,750 m\u00b2 lot, with 835.32 m\u00b2 built, an infinity pool, a 600 m\u00b2 walkable garden, a spa with indoor pool, a privileged setting within a protected environment<\/strong>, and the optional possibility of incorporating up to 6 bedrooms (originally conceived with 4 bedrooms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa<\/a>
Overall View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This newly built villa is especially designed for buyers who are not simply looking for square footage, but for a very specific residential experience: couples or families with older children, international residents wishing to settle temporarily or permanently in southern Spain, and buyers who value design, privacy, light, well-being, and the ability to entertain guests in the utmost comfort. It is a home for those who appreciate luxury and also understand premium living as space, calm, well-executed architecture, and quality time.<\/strong> A place to enjoy as a couple, share with friends, or turn into an exceptional base from which to explore Marbella, Benahav\u00eds, and the Costa del Sol as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Side Facade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What captivates first is the way it rests on the land. The house does not compete with the landscape: it frames it.<\/strong> Its south-facing orientation, expansive glass walls, cantilevers, and double-height spaces make natural light one of the project\u2019s true materials<\/strong>. Throughout the day, the home changes with the sun; in the morning it feels clean, open, and serene, while at sunset it takes on a warm, almost cinematic dimension that further enhances its unique character, achieving precisely that: contemporary yet emotional architecture, bold yet calm, designed to open onto the valley and extend life outdoors, a true luxury on the Costa del Sol<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Architecture Open to the Landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the outside, the villa projects a highly refined and elegant image<\/strong>, with a horizontal composition that enhances the sense of openness and a noble material palette that reinforces its presence without excess. The ventilated Moca limestone facade, minimalist-profile glazing, and the continuity of ceilings and flooring underscore the idea of serene, timeless architecture that is deeply Mediterranean in the way it interacts with light<\/strong>. The result is a home that impresses, but above all captivates through its balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Entrance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The arrival already hints at the level of the project. The entrance unfolds through a carefully choreographed sequence, with integrated landscaping and an immediate sense of visual openness<\/strong>, featuring a landscaped access with valley views, space for three courtesy vehicles, and a garage for three additional cars, along with a panoramic elevator that comfortably connects all floors. That combination of functionality and comfort is especially valuable in a home of this caliber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Main Floor: Light, Height, and Indoor-Outdoor Continuity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main floor is, without a doubt, the social heart of the home and the space that best sums up its personality<\/strong>. The large open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, approximately 76.72 m\u00b2, is arranged beneath a spectacular 6-meter-high ceiling and opens fully onto the porch, terrace, and pool. Here, the architecture works to expand the feeling of freedom<\/strong>: the double height amplifies the entry of light, floor-to-ceiling windows make the valley part of the d\u00e9cor, and the visual continuity with the outdoors allows the entire day area to be experienced as a grand viewpoint from which to enjoy life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrance Hall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The hall does more than distribute; it introduces the home with a carefully orchestrated sense of arrival. Generously proportioned, it functions as a first transitional space between the exterior architecture and the interior experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The presence of an indoor garden beside the staircase<\/strong> brings freshness, texture, and an immediate sense of calm upon entering the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
View from the hall toward the living room, dining area, and kitchen, with the terrace beyond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is an entrance that does not seek to impress in an obvious way, but rather to create a sense of sophisticated serenity<\/strong>, typical of truly premium homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Living Room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The living room is conceived as an open, elegant, and exceptionally bright space<\/strong>, oriented toward the views and slow enjoyment. The large glass wall projects it toward the terrace and the sheet of water, while soft tones, the warmth of wood, and the linear fireplace add depth and visual comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Living Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is a living room designed equally for an intimate conversation at sunset or for larger gatherings, always with the landscape as the backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Living Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The feeling is not that of being \u201cinside\u201d a home, but of inhabiting a platform suspended above nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dining Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The dining area occupies a prominent position within the grand day space and benefits from a spectacular height that multiplies the sense of spaciousness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Dining Area with High Ceilings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The large-format table, sculptural suspended lighting, and the direct connection with the kitchen and terrace allow this space to function flawlessly both in daily life and at dinner parties. It is a space for entertaining, yes, but also for living together<\/strong>; a bright, highly architectural dining area where light and views elevate every everyday moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor Kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The kitchen responds to a contemporary, precise, and highly refined aesthetic. The large central island in a stone-look finish, the clean-lined wood cabinetry, and the wide horizontal window that frames the mountains<\/strong> make this room especially appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Kitchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It features Cosentino Dekton Rem Natural<\/strong> countertops and island, high-end cabinetry, and integrated Siemens StudioLine<\/strong><\/a> and Gaggenau<\/strong><\/a> appliances, in addition to a concealed breakfast station with LED lighting. Beyond the equipment itself, what matters most here is that the kitchen is not treated as a secondary space: it is part of the home\u2019s lifestyle<\/strong> and fully participates in the light, the views, and the conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study or Home Office<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main floor also includes a study of approximately 15.23 m\u00b2, a particularly appealing room for the type of buyer this property is likely to attract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It can function as a private office, library, creative room, remote work space, or guest overflow room, depending on needs. In a home geared toward an international client, this flexibility is a real asset: it allows rest and productivity to coexist<\/strong> without sacrificing the elegance of the whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powder Room and Circulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The powder room, the stair core, and the panoramic elevator are resolved with the same level of care as the main living spaces, something that can be seen both in the finishes and in the continuity of the interior language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Powder Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These are not secondary spaces in the usual sense: they also take part in the home\u2019s identity, with clean surfaces, integrated lighting, and a constant sense of order, spaciousness, and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Main Exterior: A Grand Open-Air Living Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The outdoor area on the main floor has an extraordinary presence and serves as a true extension of the interior<\/strong>. The expansive 146.95 m\u00b2 porch allows for different lounge, relaxation, outdoor dining, and contemplation settings, with complete fluidity between the kitchen, living room, and terrace. The scale of this outdoor platform is one of the home\u2019s great luxuries: it offers more than enough space to truly live outdoors in real comfort<\/strong>, without limitations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Terrace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main terrace is one of those outdoor spaces that defines a property. Open to the valley, sheltered by the large cantilever, and bathed in southern light, it conveys a sense of calm that is hard to replicate in any other setting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Main Terrace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here, the furniture is arranged naturally, allowing the true focus to remain on the horizon, the silence, and the continuity of the landscape. It is a space designed for long breakfasts, leisurely lunches, reading, conversation, or simply contemplating the breathtaking views<\/strong> over the Mediterranean, the African coastline, and Gibraltar, as the community sits more than 500 m above sea level, providing an incomparable setting at any time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infinity Pool and Fire Pit Lounge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The three-sided infinity pool, approximately 64.52 m\u00b2, is probably the villa\u2019s most iconic image. More than just a pool, it functions as a liquid platform that visually extends the home toward the mountains and the sky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Infinity Pool and Fire Pit Lounge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Integrated within it is a lounge area with an optional fire pit, one of the home\u2019s most emotional and memorable places<\/strong>, designed to turn sunset into a daily experience. This central feature has been conceived as the best setting from which to enjoy the views and the sunset<\/strong>. In the images, it is also clear how this sheet of water brings reflections depending on the time of day, depth, and an immediate sense of exclusivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Kitchen and Open-Air Dining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The relationship between the indoor kitchen and outdoor living is reinforced by the optional possibility of incorporating an outdoor kitchen and a spacious alfresco dining area. The project is prepared for that lifestyle and allows an outdoor kitchen and the fire pit to be incorporated from the outset among the optional extras. This makes it possible to present this area as a highly customizable space for anyone wishing to further enhance the home\u2019s entertaining and hospitality experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upper Floor: The Night Area as a Private Retreat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The upper floor has been conceived as a clearly more intimate level<\/strong>, reserved for rest and disconnection. It brings together four en-suite bedrooms connected by a corridor and a walkway, with two of them opening onto a spacious terrace facing the pool and the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Elevator Across All 3 Floors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Access via the panoramic elevator reinforces the feeling of entering a private wing, elevated above the landscape and elegantly separated from the social life of the main floor. The elevator connects all 3 levels, from the entrance on the lower floor, providing maximum accessibility and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landing and Walkway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The landing on the upper floor has an almost theatrical quality. The double height of the living room is powerfully perceived from here, and circulation is resolved as a clean transition between light, architecture, and landscape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa
Staircase and Connecting Walkway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is not simply a hallway, but a kind of private gallery from which the character of the home is best understood: open, bright, contemporary, and extraordinarily well connected visually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary Bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The primary suite is one of the most exclusive spaces in the entire property<\/strong>. With approximately 30.94 m\u00b2 for the bedroom itself, an independent walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and access to a private terrace, it has been designed as a true private-hotel master suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Primary Bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The presence of the freestanding tub beside the large glass window, the bedroom oriented toward the views, and the possibility of waking up and falling asleep with the valley as your backdrop<\/strong> turn this room into a first-class residential experience. More than just a bedroom, it is a place to slow down, contemplate, and inhabit luxury through calm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk-In Closet in the Primary Suite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The walk-in closet extends the idea of a complete suite. It is designed with floor-to-ceiling millwork, integrated lighting, and a very clean aesthetic consistent with the rest of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Walk-In Closet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It brings functionality, capacity, and order, while also reinforcing the premium residential character of the primary suite, which goes beyond visual beauty and performs extremely well for demanding everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary Bathroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The primary bathroom combines nature-inspired materials, visual spaciousness, and a highly refined language. Standout features include handcrafted natural stone sinks, built-in thermostatic brushed gold fixtures, and the freestanding tub in the primary bedroom, all elements that contribute to a serene, elegant, and tactile atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Bathroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The light, warm tones, and the texture of the surfaces turn this bathroom into a wellness space rather than a purely functional room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary Bedrooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The three additional bedrooms maintain a premium level of privacy, size, and quality.<\/strong> One of them opens onto the large 53.74 m\u00b2 terrace above the valley and the pool, which it shares with the primary bedroom, while all of them enjoy en-suite bathrooms and an elegant, carefully considered aesthetic<\/strong>. These are bedrooms designed for older children, guests, or family members who value independence and comfort. The success of the project lies in the fact that, although secondary, they are not perceived as leftover rooms, but as true guest suites within a luxury home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper Floor Terrace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The large upper terrace adds a very special dimension to the night area. It is a more intimate outdoor space than the main terrace, ideal for a private pause, reading, a drink at sunset, or simply enjoying the silence and the visual openness<\/strong>. In the primary suite, this connection to the outdoors further reinforces the feeling of a bedroom open to the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lower Ground Floor: Wellness, Leisure, and Personalization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lower floor offers tremendous potential. It totals approximately 253.48 m\u00b2 built and includes a 63.56 m\u00b2 garage for three vehicles, an access area, technical rooms, and a 66.43 m\u00b2 indoor spa pool. In addition, there is a large multipurpose area that can be envisioned as a customizable leisure space, with 66.33 m\u00b2 ready to adapt to the owner\u2019s lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor Pool (Included)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The indoor pool brings a wellness dimension to the home that is highly unusual even within the premium segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Indoor Pool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This area is equipped with natural Bali stone, an independent climate-control system, bromine disinfection, mechanical double-flow ventilation with heat recovery, and an environment conceived to prevent odors and control humidity. Truly, this space is an authentic private wellness sanctuary<\/strong>: a place to maintain a relaxation and self-care routine year-round, regardless of the weather, and with an exceptional level of privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optionally, this area can be requested with wood-clad ceilings and walls, a full spa or gym in the adjoining room, and a roll-up cover for the indoor pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The other major room on this level, with nearly 70 m\u00b2, is a blank canvas<\/strong> that can be optionally configured according to the buyer\u2019s needs, ranging from an additional bedroom for staff or guests<\/strong> to other uses more geared toward leisure, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gym, Yoga, or Wellness Studio (Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One option for personalizing this large space is as a gym, yoga studio, or fitness area: a spacious, light-filled room, visually very clean, and perfectly suited to a private training routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Gym (Optional)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a buyer who enjoys working out daily and is accustomed to high-end hotels and residences with private fitness rooms, this possibility integrates perfectly into everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movie Theater or Family Room (Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Movie Theater (Optional)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another option this space can accommodate is a movie theater, family room, or private lounge. That flexibility allows the house to be adapted to a more social, more family-oriented, or more hedonistic lifestyle, depending on your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine Cellar and Tasting Room (Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Wine Cellar (Optional)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The project also allows for the addition of a wine cellar and tasting room. In a villa of this caliber, these types of spaces add a great deal of personality and encourage a slower, more social, and more experiential way of living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garage and Technical Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Villa\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Garage and Elevator Entrance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The garage, with space for three cars, is integrated discreetly and functionally into the overall design, with a dark finish and LED lighting, in keeping with the project\u2019s refined character. Next to the garage is the elevator, providing direct access to the rest of the home\u2019s floors<\/strong>. On the exterior, it is possible to park additional vehicles, perfect for guests and larger families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneath the pool, there is a restroom serving the pool\/terrace area without needing to enter the home. This space also houses the technical room, enabling full control of the home\u2019s systems with the level of infrastructure required by a property of this category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the great strengths of this designer villa is that its quality does not stop at what is visible. It incorporates highly valuable elements both aesthetically and functionally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
