New Build Villa, Monte Mayor, Benahavís

Monte Mayor is a gated mountainside community within Benahavís, with Málaga Airport a 56-minute drive away, Marbella Centre reached in 29 minutes and Puerto Banús in 19 minutes by car. Marbella Club Golf Resort is a three-minute drive, Atlas American School is 15 minutes away, and Hospital Hospiten Estepona is also a 15-minute drive. Benahavís has built its reputation on mountain living, offering privacy and space that coastal addresses cannot always match, and Monte Mayor’s elevated plots are among the most sought-after in the area for exactly this reason.

The villa’s curved footprint follows the natural contours of the plot, positioning every principal room to face the valley and the sea beyond. Natural hardwood wall cladding, exposed concrete and aluminium glazing run throughout, creating an interior that feels both considered and comfortable. Four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, are arranged to maximise privacy and daylight throughout the day. An open-plan kitchen and living area lead directly onto covered and uncovered terracing, connecting daily life with the infinity pool and the Mediterranean beyond. A separate dining room, living room and private office add everyday flexibility, with fitted wardrobes and a fully fitted kitchen included as standard.

The lower level houses a fully independent guest apartment, suited to visitors or live-in staff, along with a private gym, spa and sauna. Aerothermal heating and underfloor warmth run throughout the villa, alongside double glazing and central heating for year-round comfort. On the upper level, an additional area of unfinished space gives the future owner freedom to shape it as a private cinema, games room, art gallery or extra living space, built to their own brief. A roof terrace and solarium extend the outdoor living space further still.

For buyers seeking a new build villa in Benahavís without the years of plot search, architectural process and licensing uncertainty, Villa Marvel offers a project already in motion, needing only its owner’s personal touch before completion in March 2027. We believe plots of this quality in Monte Mayor are becoming harder to find, which makes acquiring one now, while the villa is still being built, a genuine opportunity.
