Benahavis

This charming little mountain village offers an authentic Andalusian ambience at just 15 minutes from Marbella. Situated in a green valley surrounded by beautiful mountains, Benahavis is known or its excellent range of country restaurants, and has become a popular dining destination among Marbella residents and visitors alike. Benahavis is also home to a resort hotel and the surrounding hills, dams and hiking paths provide an ideal setting in which to enjoy fantastic natural scenery and open space at such a short distance from Marbella.

While this picturesque village has attracted foreign homeowners and residents, it is especially the surrounding residential areas that are popular among foreign buyers. They offer attractive apartments close to golf in nearby Atalaya, a luxurious golf apartment complex at Los Capanes, villas and building plots in up-and- coming La Alquería, and the apartments, townhouses and villas of the Los Arqueros golf resort. Even more exclusive are the country clubs of El Madroñal and the select gated community of La Zagaleta – one of the finest in Europe.
