Owning property in Benahavis is an opportunity to immerse yourself in Spanish village culture while making the most of its unique gastronomic delights and sensational views across the valley. Situated 500 metres above sea level yet just seven kilometres inland from the town of San Pedro Alcántara and the Guadalmina Golf Course, Benahavis is easy to reach via a short and delightful drive through the Rio Guadalmina gorge.
If you’d like to join the other resident expats who own property in Benahavis, here are four very desirable off-plan developments that are well worth a look:
Botanic – Comprising 92 luxury three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartments and penthouses on the outskirts of Benahavis village, this beautifully located Taylor Wimpey-partnered gated development looks southwest towards mountains, sea and Los Arqueros golf course. It’s also surrounded by protected woodland so you’ll be assured of both privacy and natural beauty on your doorstep. Add to this top quality build specifications, including LED lights, marble floors, under-floor heating and air conditioning, along with stunning terraces, you’ll be living it up at one of Benahavis’s most exclusive lifestyle choices.
Unico – 24 high luxury penthouse apartments offering spectacular mountain and sea views amid untouched nature, just minutes from the busy coast. Unico is unique in that it is a complex of penthouses so it offers maximum space, comfort and style. It also means you get villa standards combined with the convenience of an apartment. Space is another advantage with the two and three bedroom properties ranging from 143m2 to 299m2, all equipped with the high-spec fixtures and fittings. The stylish communal gardens, created by celebrated French landscaper Mathieu Lèbre, draw inspiration in part from those at Granada’s Alhambra Palace.
Riverside – 75 two and three-bedroom apartments overlook attractive gardens, swimming pools and sun decks and beyond to stunning mountain and river scenery. Riverside is ideal for nature lovers seeking a peaceful, rural setting for their holiday or permanent homes, while being within walking distance of the charming white village of Benahavis. One of the most remarkable features of these apartments is the abundance of natural light and the views that flood into the contemporary, open-plan interiors featuring natural wood-style floors and wonderfully sunny terraces.
The View Marbella – These seven iconic buildings will contain 49 luxury apartments and penthouses well situated between Marbella and Benahavis. They command panoramic views from their generous 120-140m² terraces across the Mediterranean Sea towards Gibraltar and Morocco. From its elevated position just above Marbella’s Golf Valley, including the courses of Los Naranjos, La Quinta, Las Brisas and Aloha, you’re just ten to fifteen minutes’ drive from the stylish towns of Puerto Banús and Marbella. This development offers spectacular open-plan two, three and four-bedroom residences and, being designed by award winning German developer Wilma, they are eco-friendly using methods and materials with sustainability and efficiency in mind.
