The residence
A masterpiece of light, timber and stone above the Mediterranean
Villa Mashrabiya sets a new benchmark for refined living within the prestigious El Madroñal area of Benahavís. Designed by renowned architect Marcio Kogan in collaboration with Lamar Development, the south-west facing villa offers sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountain ranges. Its architecture merges seamlessly with a beautifully landscaped garden, where a pristine swimming pool takes centre stage.
The residence spans three levels with seven bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Natural light floods the interior, and fluid transitions connect indoor rooms to expansive terraces made for al fresco dining or quiet reflection under the Andalusian sun.

Terraces that open the house to the valley
Full-height glazing and mashrabiya-inspired timber screens filter the southern light. Open-plan living rooms extend onto shaded terraces, an outdoor kitchen and two pools, with the sunset falling over the sea at the far end of the plot.
Wellness · leisure
A heated pool, Turkish bath, cinema and wine cellar
The lower level is dedicated to leisure: an indoor heated pool and gym, a Turkish bath and spa rooms, a private cinema, and a glazed wine cellar beside the staircase. Materials stay consistent throughout — travertine, oak and stone.

San Pedro de Alcántara adds shopping at Centro Plaza, and Aloha College, Swans International and Atalaya Bilingual School are all within easy reach.
