Villa in El Madronal

Villa Mandalay is a beautifully renovated villa situated within the prestigious gated community of El Madroñal, one of Benahavís’ most exclusive residential areas. Recently transformed through a full renovation, the property now offers the comfort, quality and finish of a brand-new home, while retaining the charm and character expected from a villa in this sought-after hillside setting.

The renovation has been carried out to an exceptional standard and includes all-new electrics, plumbing, bespoke windows, a completely new kitchen, underfloor heating throughout the house, and electric curtains and blinds. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a turn-key home ready for immediate enjoyment, offering modern comfort, practical family living and a refined Mediterranean lifestyle.

Accessed through an electric gate, the villa welcomes you with a sweeping driveway leading to a private garage, providing secure parking and easy access to the property. Part of the former garage area has been thoughtfully converted into a separate studio, creating ideal guest or staff accommodation. This additional space adds excellent flexibility, whether used for visiting family, live-in staff, older children, a home office or independent guest quarters.

Inside, the main home has been designed with an easy and natural flow, ideal for family life. The lounge, dining area and kitchen connect seamlessly, creating a bright and sociable living space perfect for everyday living, entertaining and relaxed holidays.

The spacious lounge features a fireplace and opens directly onto the terraces, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend beautifully. The newly fitted kitchen is a standout feature of the home, offering a stylish and practical space for cooking, dining and gathering with family and friends. A separate utility area adds further convenience.

Villa Mandalay now offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, providing generous accommodation for family and guests. The layout is particularly well suited to a family home, with flexible areas that can accommodate children, visiting relatives or guests with ease. The separate studio further enhances the property’s appeal, offering privacy and independence when required.

The outdoor areas are designed for year-round enjoyment. Mature gardens, several terraces and a private swimming pool create a peaceful and private setting for relaxing, dining outdoors and entertaining. The villa also features an exterior kitchen with a traditional Andalusian barbecue, perfect for family meals, summer evenings and entertaining guests in a truly Mediterranean setting.

Holiday rentals are permitted, making Villa Mandalay not only an exceptional family residence but also an attractive investment opportunity. Its generous layout, private setting, secure community, guest accommodation and excellent outdoor entertaining areas make it especially well suited for luxury holiday rentals on the Costa del Sol.

El Madroñal is renowned for its privacy, security and natural beauty. Set approximately 400 metres above sea level, the community enjoys spectacular views across the Mediterranean coastline, Gibraltar and, on clear days, towards North Africa. Surrounded by pine, olive and cork trees, it offers a peaceful countryside atmosphere while remaining close to Marbella, Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara and Benahavís.
