Lake View Flat — Country Club in Benahavis

Benahavis is not your typical Costa del Sol. Tucked between Marbella, Ronda and Estepona — in that triangle where the mountains roll down towards the sea and the crowds stay well behind — this is a place that breathes differently. A whitewashed village, narrow streets, restaurants known only to regulars. The beach is around seven kilometres away — close enough, but far enough to escape the August chaos.

This development sits within a Country Club spread across two hundred hectares. Two hundred hectares — you really have to come and feel it for yourself. From your window: a lake, stillness, and green in every direction. The project is pursuing BREEAM certification, which in this part of the world still sets it apart.

I remember clients looking for something between Marbella and genuine peace always coming back to the same question: can you actually live here, not just holiday here? You can. Morning kayaking or paddle surfing on the lake, golf, tennis, or simply a coffee on the terrace with that view. Afternoons at the spa, sauna, massage — all within the complex. A kids' club means families find their own rhythm here too.

The flats are energy-efficient, with underfloor heating, air conditioning and a fully fitted kitchen. The smart home system handles everything it should — lighting, temperature, access. If you want more: a private pool, sauna, Turkish bath or barbecue area are all available as optional extras. This is the kind of flat you buy once and never go back to the wish list.
