Villa in Benahavis, El Herrojo

Exclusive Luxury Villa with Private Spa, Sea Views and Contemporary Design in El Herrojo, Benahavis

This villa is the kind of home that never asks you to choose between design, comfort and functionality. Set within the gated community of El Herrojo, in La Quinta, it has been thoughtfully created for those who appreciate exceptional architecture and refined living.

The design is defined by a striking combination of exposed dark timber cathedral ceilings, natural stone finishes and floor-to-ceiling glass that fills every space with natural light. Rather than simply illuminating the interiors, the sunlight becomes part of the architecture, enhancing the warmth, scale and character of each room.

The main living areas flow seamlessly from one to another. A spacious lounge connects effortlessly with a bright double-aspect dining room, leading to an impressive marble kitchen centred around a generous island. Beautifully designed yet highly practical, it is a space intended to be lived in every day, becoming the natural heart of the home.

On the lower level, the atmosphere changes completely, revealing a private wellness retreat. A sauna, plunge pool, gym and treatment room, accessed through elegant bronze-tinted pivot glass doors, create the feel of an exclusive spa. This floor also features a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a spectacular car gallery, where a backlit ceiling transforms every vehicle into a work of art, combining practicality with sophisticated design.

The principal suite has been designed as a private sanctuary. A vaulted timber ceiling enhances the sense of space, while twin oval mirrors frame a freestanding vanity and the walk-in wardrobe is illuminated with the elegance of a luxury boutique. The ensuite bathroom enjoys uninterrupted sea views, with a freestanding marble bathtub carved from a single block positioned before full-height glazing overlooking cypress trees and the Mediterranean beyond. It is a setting designed to capture the morning light at its finest.

Outside, the landscaped terraces continue the home's understated elegance. An infinity pool with stone surrounds, striped sun loungers, a vine-covered pergola for outdoor dining, mature palm trees and bougainvillea create a peaceful Mediterranean setting. It is an outdoor space that invites you to slow down, unwind and enjoy the privilege of staying exactly where you are.
