Set within the highly private and fully gated community of Vega del Colorado — a “hidden” luxury enclave on the border of Nueva Andalucía and La Quinta — this elegant villa offers the warmth of classic Andalusian architecture combined with select contemporary updates. With only around 30 villas behind 24-hour security, the community is prized by those who value exclusivity, serenity and convenience to both golf and Marbella’s lifestyle amenities.
The villa is arranged across three bright levels, framed by mature gardens and elevated for privacy. Recently modernised in key areas, including the contemporary kitchen and dining space, the villa retains its original high-end build quality throughout the rest of the home, with finishes that have been exceptionally well maintained.
The main floor welcomes with a grand double-height entrance hall leading to an inviting living room with fireplace, a spacious modern kitchen with dining area, and a glass-enclosed terrace that serves as a year-round winter lounge. The ground floor enjoys partial sea views, visible from both the living level and the pool terrace. A guest bedroom and bathroom complete this floor.
Upstairs, the luxurious master suite features a private terrace with open sea views, a generous en-suite bathroom and ample wardrobe space. Two additional en-suite guest bedrooms ensure privacy and comfort for family and guests.
The lower level offers a versatile guest suite — ideal as a private apartment — along with a cinema/games room and direct access to the gardens.
Outdoors, multiple spaces have been designed for relaxation, dining and entertaining: a sunlit pool terrace with partial sea views, a peaceful garden patio and a charming lower orchard with fruit trees. The property’s elevated position and surrounding greenery create a haven of tranquillity while remaining close to the best of Marbella, Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís.
Balancing authentic Andalusian character with stylish modern touches, this villa represents an exceptional opportunity to own a refined family home in one of Marbella’s most discreet and securely gated residential communities.

Benahavís - La Zagaleta
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.
