Avant-Garde Architecture by Marco van Veldhuizen Villa Elysium was conceived under the vision of the renowned Dutch architect Marco van Veldhuizen. Internationally acclaimed for his minimalist and timeless approach, Van Veldhuizen has designed a residence that serves as an ode to space and light. Through his firm, Studio Marco van Veldhuizen, the architect has created a villa that prioritizes the sensory experience, utilizing top-quality natural materials and harmonious proportions that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. The villa’s design focuses on maximizing southern light and spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Every space is designed to flow elegantly, featuring open-plan living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and terraces that invite residents to enjoy the Costa del Sol’s privileged climate year-round. In essence, it is a property designed for those who appreciate the art of fine living, combining modern functionality with a sophisticated aesthetic that will never go out of style. A Plot Ready for Construction One of Villa Elysium’s greatest assets is that the project is fully prepared for immediate construction. Unlike other sites, this plot already boasts an impressive, carefully designed private driveway that winds through the natural vegetation, providing an elegant and private approach to the main building area. The plot features a fully leveled plateau, strategically positioned to capitalize on the southern orientation and ensure that views of the golf course and mountains take center stage in the future home. This advance preparation offers a significant competitive advantage, as it drastically reduces development timelines and allows the property's true potential to be visualized from the very start. Being situated on the front line of the new La Zagaleta golf course ensures a constant visual connection with green meadows and open spaces, creating a sense of freedom and spaciousness that is hard to find elsewhere. Villa Elysium is not merely a real estate project; it is an opportunity to build a legacy in the most exclusive corner of Southern Europe.

From here, you can see the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, and even the African coast on a clear day. Spanning 330 hectares, more than half of Monte Mayor remains a protected green belt—pristine, wild, and teeming with life. Three rivers meander through the estate, nourishing the land with fresh water and lending the area its lush, almost secret character. Just 7 kilometers from the coast and 2 kilometers from the village of Benahavís, Monte Mayor feels a world away, yet Marbella and Puerto Banús are only minutes down the mountain. It is equally rewarding for hikers. The Monte Mayor loop trail covers approximately 14 miles with an elevation gain of nearly 2,800 feet—a demanding yet spectacular route offering panoramic views over Benahavís, La Zagaleta, and the Marbella coastline. Wildlife thrives here too—from golden eagles to partridges—undisturbed in its natural habitat. Monte Mayor is not just a place; it is a slower, wilder way of life on the Costa del Sol.

Villa Gaia - Architecture in conversation with the landscape
Some homes are designed to impose themselves on their surroundings. This one does exactly the opposite. Conceived as a piece of architecture integrated into the hillside, the residence extends horizontally through mature vegetation, stone, concrete and expansive planes of glass, allowing the landscape to become a permanent part of the interiors. The architecture is deliberately serene. Clean lines, flat roofs and a natural material palette create a contemporary aesthetic free from excess. Inside, wood brings warmth to a neutral composition of stone and soft tones, while floor-to-ceiling windows open the principal living spaces towards the mountains and the Mediterranean. The home is arranged across several levels, all connected by lift, making movement throughout the property exceptionally comfortable. Two bedrooms are located on the intermediate level and a further two on the upper floor, all with en-suite bathrooms, creating a well-balanced layout that offers privacy and independence for both family and guests. The main living area is conceived as a sequence of connected spaces. Living room, dining area and kitchen flow naturally into one another while retaining their own identity, defined by bespoke joinery and a carefully considered selection of materials. The kitchen is spacious yet understated, following the same architectural language as the rest of the home: natural wood, light surfaces and a constant connection to the outdoors. The bedrooms continue this sense of calm. Generous proportions, abundant natural light and expansive glazing allow the views to become part of each room. The principal suite feels almost like a private retreat, with bespoke carpentry, a particularly serene atmosphere and a bathroom where stone, wood and metal come together with precision. It is outdoors, however, where the architecture reveals its full dimension. A substantial covered terrace extends the living spaces into the landscape, creating distinct areas for dining, relaxing and entertaining. Natural stone and exposed concrete reinforce the organic character of the design, while the pool appears suspended above the valley, its line of water seeming to merge with the mountains beyond. Seen from above, the concept becomes especially clear: a low-slung residence almost hidden among the vegetation, designed more to belong to the landscape than to stand apart from it. A property for those who value architecture, privacy and an exceptionally close relationship with nature.

Apartment for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol
A first floor apartment in the hills above San Pedro, holding both the sea and the mountains in the same view. Ocean Pines sits within Puerto del Almendro, the wooded enclave on the Benahavis side of the valley where the pines were left standing and the houses built around them. Completed in 2006, it is a gated community of low white blocks stepped down the slope so that each terrace looks over the one below rather than into it. There is a lift in the building, a garage beneath, and the sense of quiet that comes from being a few minutes off the coast road rather than on it. The apartment faces south west, which is the aspect people on this coast pay for. Large windows and a run of terrace take the light through the afternoon and hold it into the evening, and the outlook is genuinely two sided, the Mediterranean in one direction and the mountains behind Benahavis in the other. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms give it proper family proportions rather than holiday flat proportions. The kitchen is fully fitted with Siemens appliances, and air conditioning with heating runs throughout, so the apartment works as a permanent home and not only as a summer one. A private garage space and a separate storage room are included. KEY FEATURES South west facing with sea and mountain views Three bedrooms and two bathrooms Fully fitted kitchen with Siemens appliances Air conditioning with heating throughout Private garage space and storage room Lift access within the building Gated community, completed in 2006 LOCATION San Pedro de Alcantara | approximately 4 km | 5 minutes by car Puerto Banus | approximately 10 km | 15 minutes by car Beach at Guadalmina and San Pedro | approximately 5 km | 8 minutes by car Los Arqueros and La Quinta golf courses | within 10 minutes by car Benahavis village | approximately 8 km | 12 minutes by car Marbella centre | approximately 17 km | 20 minutes by car Hospital Quiron Marbella | approximately 12 km | 16 minutes by car Malaga Airport | approximately 65 km | 50 minutes by car International schools at San Pedro and Guadalmina | within 10 minutes by car.
