Benahavís is a municipality in Andalusia located in the province of Málaga, between the mountains and the coast, in a strategic position between Ronda, Estepona, and Marbella. Although it is very close to the coast, it has a strong traditional white village character, with a historic center featuring narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and viewpoints overlooking the surrounding valleys. Its municipal area, one of the largest on the entire Costa del Sol, includes rivers, hills, and gorges, as well as extensive protected natural areas. All of this shapes a landscape characteristic of the Serranía de Ronda. One of the greatest charms of this area is its natural surroundings: the ravines, such as Las Angosturas, the hiking trails, the natural pools, and rivers like the Guadalmina make the region a popular place for outdoor activities like mountain biking, canyoning, and hiking. Montemayor Castle, a 10th-century fortress, is located at the highest part of the town. From there, you can enjoy splendid views of the coast and, on clear days, of the North African region. Benahavís is famous for the large number and quality of its inns and restaurants, which blend Mediterranean cuisine, Andalusian tradition, and the latest modern options. One of the main attractions for tourists and local visitors is its culinary offering.In recent decades, this town has become one of the most exclusive residential areas in the country. La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Monte Mayor, and Los Arqueros are high-end developments that attract residents from other parts of the world and the country, mainly due to the privacy, landscapes, and proximity to Marbella. Tourism and the service sector, along with this development, have significantly boosted the local economy. Benahavís has managed to maintain a peaceful, safe, and well-kept environment that blends rural tradition with a contemporary and luxurious lifestyle, despite its growth. It is a perfect place for those who want to enjoy nature, sports, food, and tranquility just minutes away from the noise of the Costa del Sol.
