Villas in El Madroñal

Exclusive mountain living with generous estates and sweeping coastal views

El Madroñal is an exclusive residential community situated in the mountains of Benahavis, positioned as the neighbour and natural complement to La Zagaleta. This prestigious hillside neighbourhood offers many of the same attributes as its ultra-luxury neighbour, stunning views, generous plots, and an exceptional sense of privacy, while providing a somewhat more accessible entry point to mountain luxury living.

Properties in El Madroñal are predominantly grand villas set on spacious plots, many enjoying panoramic views that stretch from the coastline to the mountains of the Serrania de Ronda. The architectural styles vary from traditional Andalusian to bold contemporary, with many properties featuring extensive outdoor entertaining areas, private pools, and beautifully landscaped grounds.

The community benefits from its proximity to Benahavis village with its famous restaurants, while the coast and Puerto Banus are easily reachable within 15 minutes. El Madroñal represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking the exclusivity and natural beauty of mountain living without the premium commanded by La Zagaleta.
